| outside.
 The abbey was not far from the inn and as they came within sight of it, yellowed as tt was by a float ing balloon of moon, it made an
 ee1ie and inspiring picture. Barbara, her enthusiasm revived, scrambled eagerly out of the car, and together she and Henderson picked their way between the crumbling boulders that lay on the outskirts of the ruin.
 This was the monks old dining hall" he told her as they stood within an enclosure, the four walls of which still remained standing,
 She nodded without speaking, momentarily carried away by the romance of past that seemed very near at that moment. With her vencration for everything old she seemed under a spell and Hcnder- son remained silent, not wishing to break it.
 Moonlight and an old ruin can create romance even if the man you are with is not the right one. Barbara was only human, and she was obsessed in that very early morning by a nobody loves me" feeling that Is eminently dangerous when there Is a not unattractive man in the offing. She shivered, suddenly cold in the absurdly thin
 cloak she wore.
 Henderson took that little shiver
 for an invitation - anyhow, she found his arms strangely com- forting; they made her feel a little less lonely, a little less neglected. i She relaxed against him and was only vaguely conscious that he was talking softly, his lips pressed close to her ear. . ..
 Barbara, dear, dear girl l cant | let you go back home without tell | ing you all the splendid, wonderful i things you've come to mean to me
 I love you. Barbara, I've loved you
 right from the first moment l saw you on the boat"
 She knew that she should have
 stopped him before this, that she had been wrong in not doing SO
 But the pride in her, hurt by Rays i absence, rcjoiced in what he was saying
 What did it matter anyhow - | did any man honestly mean what 1 he said to a girl when the mystery of June night put disturbing thoughts into his head? She doubt cd It. Nevertheless she said, Please, Hendy-remain the dear friend you've always been don't spoil it all now"
 But Barbara, I can't be just you're happy as things are. I've

 His arms were very close around her. Her voice sounded very small.
 Yes, I have been. Hendy."
 A triumphant light kindled his eyes but his tones were still pur- posely tender.
 I've known it and, Barbara dear. I've been terribly sorry for you, only I knew that you'd hate for me to say it It makes me mad to think of you thrown away on a brute who doesn't appreciate you.''
 Don't say that, Hendy, please - her voice shook. What makes you think Ray doesn't ap- preciate me-"
 If he cared-as I care, Barbara - do you imagine he'd have left you these last few days even if he wasn't enjoying himself at my house party"
 I'm sure it wasn't that. Hcndy," she said quickly.
 He smiled wisely into her up- turned face.
 Dear of you, Barbara, but knew better He made.it perfectly obvious, the way he left. My opin- ion is he was bored stiff and went up to town to have a little fun on his own. He intmated as much to Major Perkins. The major told inc ."

 Historians on the other side of the

 one day when King George III was visiting the home of a peasant he
 saw a chair with rounded back and plain spindles and had it removed to Windsor castle where it became q favorite model.
 Replying to that version, the American researchers cite dates to support their contention and explain that King George III did not become ruler until 1760. whereas the Amer ican Windsor chair is said to have existed in New England in 174O.
