Lodely is a typical JKng- Hsh "country gentleman," Quentin a bookish and retiring man of good breeding, Cane the office ooy who has worked up to a partnership. It Is Cane who has done tlie work-of the firm. He and Lodelj firm of it's only the shadow of the apple- tree." "Was it a gold-mine?" Mrs Lodely gave the short, high laugh with which she usually covered embarrassment and interest.

"I'm afraid not. Mr. Cane is very kindly having enquiries made in Johannesburg, but he confessed quarrel; be stoivnily orders L.ottcly that at first glance the shares ap- out of his apartment, which is peared to him practically worth- above the firm's offices, on the old i less. Nevertheless, I have told Yarn Market of the town of Kings' Lionel that I managed to dispose Mallard. Then he asks his mouse- like wife to call their 9-year-old daughter Leila.

Chapter ANNIE TAKES A MESSAGE "Like to come up to Mrs. Quentin's with me?" asked Mr. Cane. "You can play with little Barbara while I'm busy with her father." "They said at school yesterday that Mr. Quentin was dead," returned the child pertly.

"Well, he isn't, not yet. Don't you try and teach me my business, miss." It seemed to him, in his sour anger, that he would do anything. of them for five hundred. It has eased his mind a great deal." "But how long does he think that will last you, with a child to keep? Or shall you send Barbara back to your sister in FranceV- 1 "i he wishes me to keep her with me, after he is gone. And the money, he thinks, will give me time to clear things up and look "round a little.

You must remember that his mind is clouded, now, so near the end." Mrs. Lodely, who never thought anything worth discussion, agreed absently. She smoked, stared at her hostess and presently burst again into protest. "Well, you may think so and the law may say so but I don't care, I don't agree. Payin' back all that Armitage money out of our private pockets is lunacy, I say.

it'll be years before that kid--what was his name? young Farrell Armitage comes ot age." Mrs. Quentin did not pursue the financial argument. "The vicar misses Farrell terribly, I believe," she said. "He hau him in his charge for a whole year, wasn't it? Oh hello!" "It's Cane," said Mrs. Lodely, "just turning into the drive."

Mrs. Cane began, to cry as the door of the house closed upon them. She remembered her pride at having married a solicitor, even if he wasn't, in the Kings Mallard sense of the word, a gcnllcrnan.

it only he would consent to hide with her in some big city where nobody knew them! She sat sniffing damply lor nearly, half an hour and was about to go in search of a strong cup of tea when her maid approaciieU her, thumbing an envelope. Mrs. Cane threw up her hands. "How many times have I told you, Annie, to bring in letters on a tray? And if it's a telegram- yes, I see it is--you'll simply have get on your tilings and take it after Mr. Cane.

He told me that ic wants all telegrams brought to him at once, wherever he is." "And where be master to, then, ma'am?" "Gone up to see Mr. Quentin on Upper Mallard hill. He'll be walking slowly, he has Miss Leila with him. If you hurry, you may overtake him yet." In a garden full of late roses, Mrs. Quentin and Mrs.

Lodely sat enduring each other. Mrs. Lodely endured Mrs. Quentin as the wife of her husband's senior partner, as an unsociable neighbor and as a bookish, reserved woman whom in years she would never learn to know. Mrs.

Quentin endured Mrs. Lodely simply as a noise; a maddening noise that persisted somewhere beyond the circle of dedicated thoughts. "Do change places with me," urged Mrs. Lodely for the third time. "You ought to be relaxin comfortably after not sleepin' at all for two nights." "Thank you, but I would rather not move'," refused Mrs.

Quentin, also for the third time.

"Haven't you--you don't mind my askin'--haven't you anything at all of your own?" "Nothing. Less, even, than Lionel thinks." "How d'you mean?" "I mean that I lied to him the ether day," explained Mrs. Quentin, her dark head still motionless against the back of the seat. "You see, I once had a young cousin, a reckless, lovable boy.
