Arnott's widowed sister, near the
Marraby estate; but Peter has

perate by her fathers financial diff

HARLEY SEXTON, money lender,
who has told her that Peter is also
in his debt. In London Peter meets
JOAN ENDICOTT on her way to
visit Nan. She tells him that he is

next morning the boys are on their
way to the woods to meet Peter
when Joan calls back the smallest
Of the trio and presses a letter into
his hand,
Now GO ON WITH THE STORY
sSTHHAT's for Mr.. Lyster," she
said, urgently. But nobody
must know-promise me
quick"
Claude flushed with pleasure at
the honor conferred on him.
"Only you and me-" he said in a
stage whisper,
"vou mustn't even tell Jim or
Buster or Nan"
No" He peered round behind her
towards the house.
Not tell nobody" he said i'm

He nodded vigorously.
mot to tell nobody-only Mr.,
Lyster,'' he said again. Joan smiled
and nodded.
"Yes-good boy-now run along"
She watched him patter off
trough the sunshine, his little feet
sending small clouds of gray dust
behind him at each step; then. she
went back to the house.
Claude reached the end of the
road hot and breathless; he looked up
and down eagerly, but could not see
MS brothers.
Once he opened his mouth to call
% them, but, remembering his pre-
eious mission. closed it again deter
minedly.
If they waited for him, they might
sec the letter and ask questions, and
ne had promised Mans pretty friend
not to tell nobody"
He clutched the letter tightly as he
went-he felt more proud than ever
n his life before; he wondered if
Mr.. Lyster would give him a penny
for being so faithful to his charge;
if he did-there were some new sort
Of lollypops in the village stores
his thought broke off as he
heard a heavy step coming towards
him down the narrow pathway.
Peter, Of course! His little face
brightened-he started to run; then
suddenly he stopped dead, as Harley
Seton broke through the under
growth and came towards him,
Claude hated Harley Seton. His
eager footsteps came to a frightened
halt as he looked up at the mans
hard face; it was quite unconsciously
that he put the hand which clutched
Joan's note behind his back in an
attitude of defiance.
But for that little gesture Seton
would probably have passed on with
- speaking, but, as it was, he
