No one knew. Betty had come with

Eileen's arrival startled the house

Mr.. Timms was appealed to. He
coughed nervously, said he would
make inquiries, and vanished. At
that, Mary Lansing took thought, but,
being a kindly soul. said nothing. The
butler returned with a strange story.
A young gardener, who at times depu
tized as q gillie when the moors were
being shot, having occasion to go to
his room for an extra torch, had
found Miss Bridgnorth there, and
was told in no gentle terms to make
himself scarce.

on a staircase, and, within q very
few minutes, saw a sturdy figure fit

said figure was carrying a bundle of

Scot, he simply went for the lamp.

Miss Betty's masquerading.
The butler told his story with com
mendable reserve. He made only one
slip.

brought the stretcher." he said. II
