(he’d be most gratified — or at least
she ought to be"
At which I smiled preferring that
she should Adopt that theory In pref-
erence to any other
She spoke frankly aa a pure honest
girl would speak She was not jealous
but she neverthloss resented— as wom-
en do resent such things — that I should
fall In love with a friend's photograph
There was a mystery surrounding
that torn picture of that I wsb abso-
lutely certain The remembrance of
that memorable evening -when I bad
dined on board the Lola arose vividly
before me Why bad the girl's por-
trait been so ruthlessly destroyed?
Hour by hour the myBtery surrounding
the Lelthcourts became more Inscrut-
able more Intensely absorbing I had
searched a copy of the London direc-
tory at the Station hotel at Carlisle
and found that no house In Green
street was registered as occupied by
the tenant of Rannoch and further
when I came to examine the list of
guests at the castle I found that they
were really persons unknown in so-
ciety Lelthcourt seemed to possess
a long pocket and smiled upon those
parasites officers of doubtful com-
mission and younger- sprigs of the
pseudo-aristocracy who surrounded
him while his wife keen-eyed and of
superb bearing was punctilious con-
cerning all points of etiquette and at
the same time indefatigable that her
mixed set of guests should enjoy a
really good time
Next day I shot with the Carmichaels
of Crossburn and about four o'clock
after a good day took leave of the
party In the Black Glen and started
off alone to walk home a distance of
about six miles It was already grow-
Ing dusk and would be quite dark 1
knew before I reached my uncle’s
house My most direct way was to
fotyattr the river for about two miles
and then strike straight across the
large dense woods and afterwards
I Listened Trying to Distinguish the
Words Uttered
over a wide moor full of treacherous
bogs and pitfalls for the unwary
My gun over my shoulder I had
walked on for about three-quarters of
an hour and had nearly traversed the
wood at that hour so dark that I had
considerable difficulty In finding my
way when— of a sudden — I fancied I
distinguished voices
I halted Yes Men were talking
In low tones of confidence and In that
calm stillness of evening they appeared
nearer to me than they actually were
I listened trying to distinguish the
words uttered but could make out
nothing They were moving slowly to-
gether In close vicinity to myself for
their feet stirred the dry leaves and I
could hear the boughB cracking as
they forced their way through them
Of a sudden while standing there
not daring to breathe lest I should be-
tray my presence a strange sound
fell upon my eager ears-
Next moment I realized that 1 was at
that place where Lelthcourt so persist-
ently kept his disappointed tryst hav-
ing approached It from within the
wood
The sound alarmed me and yet It
was neither an explosion of fire arms
nor a startling cry for help
One word reached me in the dark-
ness — one single word of bitter and
withering reproach
Heedless of the risk I ran and the
peril to which I exposed myself 1
dashed forward with a resolve to pene-
trate the mystery until 1 came to the
gap In the rough stone wall where
Leithcourt's habit was to halt each day
at sundown
There In the falling darkness the
-sight that met my eyes at the spot
held me rigid appalled stupefied
In that Instant I realized the truth —
a truth that was surely the strangest
ever revealed to any man
CHAPTER V
i Contains Certain Confidences
' As I dashed forward to the gap In
the boundary wall of the wood I near-
ly stumbled over a form lying across
the narrow path
So dark was It beneath the trees
that at first I could not plainly make
out what It was until I bent and my
hands touched the garments of a worn
an Her hat bad fallen off for I felt
It beneath my feet while the cloak
was a thick woolen one
1 S'M §hq Asad I wondered? That
cry — that single word of reproach-
sounded In my ears and It seemed
plain that she had been struck down
ruthlessly after an exchange of angry
words
1 felt In my pocket for my vestas
but unfortunately my box was empty
Yet just at that moment my strained
ears caught a Bound — the sound of
someone moving stealthily among the
fallen leaves Seizing my gun I demanded-
who was there
There was however' no response
The instant I Bpoke the movement
ceased
It seemed evident that a tragedy had
occurred and that the victim at my
feet was a woman But who? '
Of a sudden while I stood hesitat-
ing blaming myself for being without
matches 1 heard the movement re-
peated Someone was quickly reced-
ing — escaping from the spot I sprang
through the- gap straining my eyes
Into the gloom and as I did so could
just distinguish a dark figure receding
quickly beneath the wall of the wood
In an Instant I dashed after It Down
the steep bill to the Scarwater I fol-
lowed the fugitive crossing the old
footbridge near Penpont and then up
a wild winding glen towards the
Calrnmore of Deugh For a couple of
miles or more I was close behind un-
til at a turn In the dark wooded glen
where It branched In two directions 1
lost all trace of the person who flew
from me Whoever It was they had
very cleverly gone Into hiding In the
undergrowth of one or other of the two
glens — which I could not decide
I stood out of breath the perspira-
tion pouring from me undecided how
to act
Was It Lelthcourt himself whom 1
had surprised?
That Idea somehow became Im-
pressed upon me and I suddenly re-
solved to go boldly across to Rannoch
and ascertain for myself Therefore
with the excuse that I was belated on
my walk home I turned back down
the glen and half an hour afterward
entered the great well-lighted hall of
the castle where the guests ready
dressed were assembling prior to din-
ner I was welcomed warmly and just
then Lelthcourt himself joined bis
guests ready dressed in his dinner
jacket having just descended from hU
room
"Hulloa Gregg!” he exclaimed heart
tly holding out his hand "Had a long
day of It evidently Good sport with
Carmichael— eh ?'
"Very fair” I said “I remained
longer with him than I ought to have
done and have got belated on my way
home so looked In for a refresher"
"Quite right” he laughed merrily
"You’re always welcome you know
I'd have been annoyed if I knew you
had passed without coming in”
(TO BE CONTINUED)
BROUGHT ACTION TO AN END
Appeararee of the “Deceased” in
Chancery Court a Blow to Army
of Lawyer
It was a suit In chancery and there
was a great gathering of the de-
ceased's family quarreling as rela-
tives will over tbs division of the
spoils The lawyers engaged chuckled
for the suit seemed likely to be pro-
longed and complicated
There were many lawyers too and
the judge marveled at the Immensity
of the deceased man's family as silk
and stuff rose in rapid succession in-
troducing themselves with the usual
formula: “And L my lord am for the
nephews or nieces or fifteenth cousins
removed as the case may be of the
deceased” The procession Beemed In-
terminable but at last It came to an
end Then a small voice was heard
timidly saying from the back of the
court “May I be allowed to speak my
lord?” i
There was dead silence as his lord-
ship adjusted his spectacles and asked
rather dejectedly "Who are you?”
The answer was to say the least
unexpected
“I am the deceased my lord” said
the modest voice from the back of the
court That ended the aetlon
Quite unknown to his relatives the
"deceased" bad turned up from the
wilds of Rhodesia Obviously a man
of humor he must have taken a de-
light in watching how “the best-laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley”
Japanese
The brightest best tempered and
most polite people in the world are
the Japanese They absolutely do
not know what It Is to quarrel and It
Is said that If you throw a stone at
a dog or cat In Japan the animal
stands and Btares at you In amaze-
ment — it actually doesn't know what
cruelty means The Japs are a Jolly
people and fond of a joke and they
are generous and trustful to a marked
degree They also have a strong sense
of pride and travelers relate a pecu-
liar Instance of this trait If a trav-
eler is annoyed by being followed by
a crowd— which however Is always
quiet and respectful— he can cause It
to melt away like snowflakes on a hot
stove by simply baiting and bolding
out a coin The Japs feel hurt at
being taken for mendicants Fancy
what the result would be if a traveler
adopted this expedient In the fee-taking
cities of Europe He would be al-
most torn to pieces by the crowd try-
ing to get the coin
Charley's Compliment
Little Charley was Baying good-
night After klBBlng his grandmother
uncle and father be came to his mam-
ma “Why do you kiss me last?” she
said “Oh well” said the little fel-
low “you see I don't want your kiss
to coma fl”

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had
Seen Remarkable "Government
Salting Apparatua”
They were passing tbe holiday at
Onaet and during the course of the
sunny afternoon took a stroll on the
beach At one pelnt they came upon
an Improved breakwater where
some resident )iad filled bags with
sand and piled them In breastworks
fashion to prevent the sea from en-
croaching upon his land during the
stormy season
One of the young ladles was curious
Immediately She would' know what
the bags were for
"Why lt’a very simple" explained
her companion with due gravity “The
water In Onset bay originally was
fresh a peculiarity of nature which
has puzzled scientists It seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seashore
advantages so the government took
the matter In hand filled the bags
with salt and thereby baa Imparted
the proper flavor to Onset water” '
Far from rebuking him for being
"fresh” she la now telling her friends
of having seen the "government salt-
ing apparatua" down there

HADN’T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
Of Course Young 'Mother Could Only
Reason That the Fault Must Be
With the Scales
The story Is told of a young mother
who after her first baby had been
born hurried to a hardware store to
purchase a pair of scales that she
might he able to keep tab on the e-
markable growth of her first born
When she got the scales home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried them back
stating -that they were not satisfac-
tory Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was she replied:
“I think the scales are not right My
baby did not weigh as much as I think
ahe ought to" -
“Did It ever occur to you" asked the
hard-hearted seller of hardware “that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?”
She saw the point and kept the
scales — Brockton Enterprise
