Manning caught the hands in his

She seemed to be searching his face.

too. Hes one of them all right, but
he's not like either of the boys that

he's spent 10 years doing very hard

Evelyn went to the window and
stood there looking out. She saw, not
the gray stone of the house over the
way, but very young, gallant, boy
ish figure with a world of boyish
alteration in the eager gray eyes. She
heard the voice and had said Eve

turning round she put another ques-

across the floor, and came to stand
still in front of Sir Cotterell with his
hand out and a quick:

Sir Cotterell kept his left hand on

shaking a little, and caught at Lay

"Changed?" said Sir Cotterell. He
took his hand away, stepped back,
and sat down again rather heavily.

There's nothing left-there's nothing

Laydon drew out a chair, and came
and sat down knee to knee with him,
leaning across the corner of the table.
Il was afraid you'd feel like that.
But it's only on the surface really. Do

Sir Cotterell's blue eyes-they were
very blue-were looking out keenly
now from under his pepper-and-salt
eyebrows.
Mick was Jacks and Dick was
Jim's," said Laydon.
Sir Cotterell's hand shot out and
caught him by the wrist.
and which was yours, eh? Which
was yours?"
81 can't say, sir" The gray eyes

There was a short, painful silence.

But you've got to prove it-youve got

Cotty can go hang. But I'll not go
past him for any except my own flesh
and blood.
Layton lifted his elbow from the
table and leaned back, his face heavy,
his look remote.
'How am I going to prove it?" he
said
you've got to. There are plenty of
ways. If you're Jim, now" He
paused, dropped his voice, and sat for
ward. If you're Jim, there's a proof
you could give me now. Jim and l
had talk together here, in this very
room, on the night before his wedding

France. If you're Jim, you'll know
what passed between us
Sir Cotterell put his hand on the
table as he spoke. 1t shook a little:
his voice shook with the eagerness
that possessed him.
He repeated his question urgently:
IF you're Jim, you can tell me what
