Marjorie never betrayed the leas interest ir any of the men at thS other table, while Stirling's fact was expressionless. He showed nc interest in Marjorie or in anything but his game. At Jimmies table Vincent's restless playing was an moving. He would leave his part ner in an impossible situation and would jump from his chair ano wander around the room or into the garden. Once or twice they were thus kept waiting.
 q will find him." said Marjorie
 Anyway we can listen to the music" said Jimmie. They are back TO the Desert again"
 Evelyn says it is his favorite song" remarked Nancy.
 Marjorie was away for some minutes; the song had changed to September Roses" before she re- turned, bringing the, apologetic Vim nie with her.
 "Awfully sorry" he said. Got a bit of a headache. Meant to take Ia few steps and lost myself. Don't know the garden in the dark"
 Soon after ten o'clock there was a break at the other table. Nether- ton who had been playing with Donald against Stirling and Gre sham, and had been winning, got up and said he must go. I've rath- CT a lot to do"
 Marjorie fetched Evelyn anG Bill departed.
 A moment later Gresham went out, saying he was not certain he had not left the engine of his car running. When the major re- turned, Stirling declared he must go. Marjorie said less than the others in the general protest.
 "You and Duckworth have had enough music" he told Evelyn, "and II have some writing to finish. ' Marjorie slipped from the room when he left, but her absence was too brief to arouse comment.
 Jimmie, Nancy, Evelyn and Don aid had finished one rubber ano were about to begin a second wher Janet, the maid, handed him nots which she said man had just brought to the house.
 Asking permission, and wonder ing what it could be, Jimmie tore it open. It was written in pencil on a sheet of folded paper. He hoped that he had not betrayed his surprise at the contents.

Chapter 21
LOVE IN THE GARDEN

When Jimmie joined his cousin Donald and Nancy at dinner after leaving Richmond there was some thing to which he might look for ward as he and the Wades were to go over in the evening to Mer- row Craig.
 He had accepted the invitation despite his feeling that perhaps a detective might not be particu- larly welcome, since he did not wish to pass up any opportunity to observe closely all circumstances and persons connected with the case.
 As they planned to set out they argued in their warm but friendly fashion whether it was quicker to get to Merraw Craig across the links or by the road. When Jimmie declared for the links he did not realize how vital to the case his choice would later prove to be.
 They ses out at the same time after placing a five-bo5 bet, Donald and Nancy taking the road, while Jimmie went through the Fair ways gate and made straight course across the deserted course. There was enough light to avoid what would have been a perilons journey in the dark. He soon reached the opening in the Merrow Craig fence where he had entered with Donald on the day after the murder. He had started up the path when through a gap in the hedge he saw girl hurrying to- wards him. It was Marjorie. On her face there was an eager cx- pression.
 He paused. It was not to meet him she had come. Then, a dozen yards from where he stood. a fig ure stepped from out of the shell ter of the trees. With a glad cry the girl ran forward.
 "Darlingg'
 The word she whispered was audible in the evening stiffness, and she was folded in the arms of her lover. Yet not in his arms. His enc arm was put around her and she was pressed to his heart. For her lover was Richard Stirling.
 Jimmie's footsteps as he passed out of the gardens back to the links, were not heard by the two engrossed in the rapture of their stolen meeting. He decided to ap- preach the house through the gar dens, so as to avoid the explana- ticns inevitable should he be seer entering by the front.
 Certainly, since the case against Netherton was predicated on his love. for Marjorie, it was blown sky high Bill was engaged to Aud rey and Marjorie loved Stirling se- cretly.
 Crossing the silent Dutch garden Jimmie reached the lawn and found a small party already gathered there. Naturally enough, Donald and Nancy had beaten him in tht race, and Donald gleefully demand ed his five shillings, which Jimmie paid amid considerable banter.
 Evelyn was there in a simple black gown, her face showing lit tie trace of the anxiety through which she had passed. Marjorie she explained, would be out soon when Jimmie inquired, Where i your sister?"
 While Duckworth was explaining to Jimmie that he had cancelec his engagement in Bradford be cause of the unpleasantness of ap' bearing when local feeling wa! high, Marjorie came up alone, little out of breath. explaining tha' she had just had run in thu garden. Had Jimmie not wit messed the ardent caresses of hei lover, he might have thought thi: explained the brightness of he,

SIX CANDIDATES
 ARE NOMINATED FOR BISHOPRIC
None Seem Strong Enough to Win on First Ballot Episcopal Diocese Meeting at Hartford

Hartford, Conn, September D. (UP) - Six candidates were nom- mated for bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut at the diocesan convention attend ed by ASA clergymen and laymen today.
 Those nominated in open con- vention were: Dr Frederick S.. Fleming, vicar of the Chapel of the Intercession, New York. Dr Howard Chandler Robbins, former dean of the Cathedral of St John the Divine, New York. Dr Fred erick T. Budlong, rector of Christ church, Greenwich. Dr William T. Hooper, rector of the Church of St John the Benedict, West Hart ford. The Rev Arthur Sherman. New York. The Rev Thomas Sparks, Providence. R. I.
 Other candidates may be nomi- mated by having their names writ ten in on the ballots. None of the candidates appeared strong enough to achieve the necessary two-thirds vote of both the clergy and lay groups on the firss ballot. Many delegates believed the final ballot would be between Dr Robbins and Dr Budlong. It was believed many ballots would be necessary to chose a candidate unless several names were withdrawn.
