made no concessions whatsoever to
traffic; indeed he took no notice of
it. If vehicle wanted to pass him
it had to change direction to do so.
He looked up as he drew level
with the landlord of the Hoops. Ed.
ward Perry knew that red face,
with its heavy Roman nose and
closest beady bright eyes. almost
as well as he knew his own. He
raised forefnger to his hat. Rain
or fine, indoors or out, Edward
Perry always wore a soft homburg
hat with the neck feather of a wild
duck stuck jauntily in its band.
Morning Mr.. Burdett," he said
in his quiet tones.
The man in the middle of the
road shot a glance at him with his
restless eyes and then suddenly,
just when it seemed he intended to
give no answer at all made a most
curious response. Out of the folds
of his indecently Anticipated coat he

he called out in a high, mincing
voice. We'll. you won't get any Of

slapped his trouser pocket which
responded with a Jingle of coin)
that's what they're all after. Ha."
Edward Perry permitted himself
slow. grave smile. It'll be a clever
man as gets any of it." he said
under his breath. without he steals
it"
He did not really object to the
other mans colossal rudeness.
Squire Burdett was an eccentric:
everybody recognized that, and
there was nothing to be done about
it Burdetts had been at Enderton
Court time out of mind. II the old
mems memories and traditions
were to be trusted there had been
many a good Burdett in the past.
This one was bad one, that was all.
It did not look as though there
were going to be any more Burdetts
to carry the place on in future. and
for that Edward Perry was sorry.
He was an Englishman and he liked
to think that in England things
would go on much as they always
had done.

AS for the present man, IL he
wanted to get along without the vii
lage Perry reckoned that the village
could very well get on without him.
But he reflected trifie bitterly that

which on every alternate Wednes-
day enjoyed few hours Of
thronged and busy life. Through the
half-open door of the post Office he
spied the voluminous and untidy

neat chicken beside a somewhat be-
draggled and blowsy hen. was Elite
her fifteen-year-old daughter. Ar.
thur Burdett's eyes ran apprecia-
lively over the girl; another year
or two, he thought-his lips moved
in pleasant anticipation.
Immediately, and as though ma.

the air. Mrs. Jennings glanced up
from her task of reading through
the morning batch of postcards, and
seeing who was passing, pushed the

happy places which have suffered
no great extremes of fortune, good
or bad, during their long history.
It lies in a part of England which
has been rural since time was, and
which surely must go on being so
until time ceases.
Indeed it is commonly said by the
inhabitants of the neighboring. and
to their own way OF thinking, more
important villages of Far Hope and
Bundleberry that when the last
trumpet does actually sound it will
be an even money chance that no.
body in Hope Enderton will hear It.
Hope Enderton cares little for
such innuendoes; it has a cricket
team which is supreme for ten
miles round; a cruciform church
with the finest stained glass in West
Sussex; and. consequent upon the
events herein to be narrated, it
achieved the unique distinction OF
getting into the papers"-and
headlines at that. 1t was. and al.
ways had been. content to live its

neighbors; and on this particular

airy it was busy, in its tranquil way,
about the daily round of triviaIities
upon which. when all is said and
done. all the pretentious, grasping,
glittering business of the noisy
world must rest.
Outside the door of the Hoops,
the bigger of the two inns in the
place, Edward Perry the landlord
stood. arms akimbo. looking up the
street. A fat spaniel shifted herself
into patch Of sunshine on the cob
bles behind him and settled down
with a little grunt Of good content,
and from somewhere in the old fash.
Toned courtyard of the place came
the laughter Of a serving maid and
the cheerful whistle of a man busy
about some task.

cared what people thought about
him he was certainly long past it
now. At the age of seventy-three he
found it simpler to disregard other
peoples feelings in life completely.
At this moment another figure
entered the square from its oppo-
site side, in point of fact, from the
grocery and general provision shop
Of John Fenton; a figure seen re-
spectfully off the premises by the
combined forces Of John Fenton
and his wife, who had done all the
important things of life in unison
for so long that they had formed
the habit almost unconsciously. The
visitor was none other than the
Reverend Peter Steeble who for
thirty-eight years had been rector
of st. Leonard's Church.
For thirty-eight years, therefore,
Hope Enderton had enjoyed
double advantage; in the first place
it had been the possessor of a sort
of living pun ("Why is Hope Ender.
ton different from any other village
in Sussex? Because 1t has a church
with both Tower and Steeble"):
and secondly. during all that time.
it had enjoyed the ministrations of
a Saint.
In other days Peter Steeble's name
had been known in the scholastic
world, and famous in at least two
fields of sport; but these things he
had deliberately put behind him
when his wife died. Poor. lovely

When a man has reached that
philosophic outlook on life there is
little room in his heart for hate, and
