He bent to kiss her, but ."he turned him a cool cheek. "}Iavo you any money? Ths taxi man iH waiting." His hand went at once to his pocket. "How much?" S!»e to'.d him, and was quick to no- tice hif frown. "It was ruining, and I hate rain," she c; mpiained petu'antly. "You might have taken the tuiie half way; you know wo really can't afford to have taxis evprj^vh.^rc." "Don't be so mean!" She took the: money without a word of tha:iks, and ; jjavo it to th'^ maid, fh-i n fhe came | back, tos.'^inp her hat Mid gl<.ves on toj tlK .<K.'fa.

"Yet; he K'-emH en:rross<-d with Nigel's wife; they'd b<;en out in the car together r."l the afternoon. I don't know what in the world you meant by calling l)er pretty."

Monty IauKh€<l. | "Don't be a cat, old girl; you're too Ifood-Iooking yourself to grudg« any- one else a pnia'! share." "WeX, I hate her â€" I hate the way she's got in with David and Miss Var- ' ney. I ha to her ways â€" »hâ€" " Sh« broke off exnsperatedly. | Monty lit a cigaret. He knew his ' "So fihe had. Has i»he changed the color then, or what?" "Sho! She'd never troubl* enough about herself to want to change the cwJor. It's just ordinary mouse- brown." "Humph! Then fche h«B changed it, or else it can't be the right girl you saw," he chaffed her. "Dcr.'t be such an idiot!" Sho ilTopped into a chair, turning her back to him. As a rule she was quite good-tempered, but the after- noon had thoroughly upset her. Monty smoked on imperturbably. Once he venture<i to whistle a snatch of song. Dora rounded on him in- stantly. "Oh, do shut up! A lot you care what h.Tpp<'iv<( to me! A lot you care if I'm happy or miserable!" She be- gan to cry shallowly. T'-iir-s of sheer temper they were, but Monty thought she was really un- happy. He was sufficiently fond of David Prt-tlK-rton himself to believe that he was the type of man a woman would adore. He came round to where Dora .<=at with hT face hidden in a Inro handkerchief, and put his arm round her Bhou!<lers. "My dear girl, don't! I hate to see you so upset ! What in the world has happened?" Tan 1 help at all? You know I'd do anything In my power." Sh« pushed him impatiently aside. "Oh, leave me alone!" She looked up at him wiLh resent- ful eyes. "You ought to have persuaded David not to have thai wife of Nigel's down there ; you ought to have guess- "M'iss Fisher wants you to stay with her in town." wiritT very well infj^d in this mood, and always took r«fii(re In silence. Dora broke out again suddenly. "I thought you said she bad rod- brf)wn hair?" ed what yould happen. She's Just worming her way in with everybody, auJ already they are l)eglnning to wonder how they managed before she camo." "My dear chid, isn't that Just what I did try to do? Didn't I tell David? Didn't I do ex-crything in my power?" "You ought to have insisted that Sonne other arrangement was made." "Now you'rp talking sheer rubbish! I'm not David's keeper. Surely he han a right to p'.eaac himself?" Dora l)egBn to cry again, but this time Monty wm unmoved. He had had enough of it.

TIME, THE HRAI.EII. When David got back to the Red Grange h;* found Miss Varney alon« I in the drawing-room. She noticed the quick way in which his eyes roamed ; roun-i th<> room an If In search of I tomeotKi f'se. j "Where's Mary?" he aik«d abruptly. I "I really dm't know, dear; she was here a moment ago." I Mary had slipped away wh«n she he.nrd th« tound of the car In the ; drive; the did not feel as if sh* ooutd fscp David arain just then. When- ] ever "he thought of her own Impulsive I wordf* fhe felt as If her whot« bo4y w«re Muahinff. What must he have thought of her? j What mcmer.t of madness had mads I her say coch a thin);?'

She would have I indlrocntly 4»nied It had anyione told I her that it vas no, but tho fact ro- ' loained, no^'erihc.' Pertuipe fhe had never loved him ua deeply aa it was in her luiture to love; but Ite bad been her one and ondy romance, aad the tragedy of his dea.h had lerit a halo of lieauly to hii* who'e life. j Married to him, »he would always' have adored hi.-n, but in apite of her- self her whole ft^.ing towards him bad unconsciously changed «ince bi» marriupe. Even to the broken-hei.rt^d, Time Is a wonderf ur h -a'cr, and there is no truer aajring of all the many penned by the Immorta bard thiyi that "Men have died, and worms have eaten them, but not for lovt-." And Mar>' was still younir. She was bcifln-ning already to loso the wan, careworn look fhut hud thinned her face when she first cnmo to Red Grange. The qutt, healthy life, fr»e from trouble, had done wonders for her; she f-lept weTl and drcamU'««ly, and Woke fujl of energy, looknng for- ward with almost childish anticipa- tion to the simple events of the day. learning to dri\« David's car had given h'er tremendous pleitMire; it was something po different from anything she had ever experienced â€" eomething so exciting. D«.vid was si)eaking of tho car when, a little l«t«r, i' e cfime into the room. "Dora only just caught her train. The engine was rumiing badly; it would hardly take Deacon's Hill at ftH â€" " he swung round sharply at the soft sound of the opening door. Mary did not jook at him as she came forward, but was paiufuJIy con- scious of her quick heart-beats and flushing cheeks. She Fat down beside Misa Varney, and took up a book. "Well, are you ready for another les.son In the morning?" David asked her. Ho was determined that somehow she should be made to look at him, and speak to him; he wanted to meet her eyes again, but Mary did not raise them. "I think it will be wet to-morrow," ehj said. Ho laughed. "What difference can that make? There is a hood to the car. And it was raining yesterday when we went out." "Was it?" She felt s-trained and unnatural with him; she wished ho would go away or sit down. He look- ed so tall and overpowering as he stood there, and she was so painfully conscious of his guze bent upon her. Suddenly "Miss Fisher wants you to go and .stay with her in town," he said de- liberately. The words had the desired effect. Mary raised her eyes at once. "Oh, I couldn't! I don't want to be rude, but I'd so much rather not." "You don't '.ike her?" Sho flushed. "Oh, it's net that. I think she's simply beautiful, but â€" oh, I'm such a bad one at making new friends." "You made friends with u.s easily enough, my dear," said Miss Varney afl'pctionately. Mary could think of no reply. The book had fallen from her knees; she stooped and groped after it at the same moment in which David bent to pick it up for her, and their hands touched. Mary drew hers away sharply, and there was a little additional color in David's face as he laid the book down on her lap. The silence was unbroken save for the click, click of Miss Vamey's knit- ting needles. "I am going to show you over the old part of the house after dinner," David said suddenly. "You said you would like to see it, and there is a m<x)n to-night." She looked up interestedly. "What has that got to do with It?" Everything. The old wing looks only Its best by moonlight." "Oh!" "And the ghost always walks by moonMght," said Miss Varney. Mary clasped her hands rather tightly in the lap of her frock. "Perhaps we shall seo her, then," she said, with forced lightness. Miss Varney ahook her head. "In my opinion she tK-ver existed, my dear. I've never seen her, and I very much doubt if anyone else has. Dear me â€" not dinner already?" (To be continued.)
