at Il.
The face Of the man was definitely
familiar and at the same time
obstinately elusive. Where could he
have e the man?
Banntster gave it up and studied
the bride. In spite Of her stiff pose
and out-moded hnery she was
rather attractive. She might have
been no more than 1870 at the
most.
Bannister gave his attention once
more 70 the man. The wrinkles in
his coat subtracted considerably
from the elegance Of his appear
ance. It was the mans face that
concerned Bannister. He cata-
logued the features - dark hair,
parted on the side and too long by
modern standards; small, dark
eyes: the mustache standing out
stiffly; a firm chin. The mans
shoulders were broad and square.
Though he was seated. you could see
ne was much taller than his bride.
Older, too.
If he was 30 then" Bannister
unused, he must be close to go to-
day. He might have shaved off the
mustache-"
He heard a sound and looked up.
Juliet France stood in the doorway,
smiling.
Hello" she said. Aren't you
home early?"
Bannister stared. She wore a
dress Of corn flower blue, simply
made but extremely becoming. She
had arranged her hair in a differ
ent way. too. Satin-smooth, gleam-
ing. it caught the glow Of the lamp

There was a pause and then the

Bannister heard the words but he
was not listening to them. He knew
suddenly why the photograph looked
familiar.
