Brent endeavored to avoid Eva's glance but he could feel that her eyes were searching his face for an answer to his coldness. He felt he must give some explanation. “Helen's affairs have required a lot of looking after lately,” he said more or less casually, “and now that Mr. Cunningham {fs dead | shall not have any time for myself at all.” Eva drew in her breath, hest- tated and then said with a courage that surprised herself: “You mean for me?” Brent shrugged, attempted to smile apologetically and rather dis- mally failed. “It is the same thing.” he said. Eva smiled back at him but In her heart there was an icy chill. His words had not rung true. ‘The rest of the dinner, until the dessert was brought, was eaten in silence.

After the quiet funeral a few days later and the following period dur- ing which’ Helen saw no one but Brent and herself, aside from Mr. Greaves and others whom circum- stances compelled her to receive, Eva begged Bob to accompany her to Bramblewood and call on Helen. Bob had acquired a cheap little second-hand car to take Eva to Helen's and bring her back again. At first he was inclined to refuse Eva's request. She promptly ap- pealed to their mother, “Fle must go, mums,” she declared. “After all Helen's kindness to me it is Positively boorish of him te remain away.” “Yes, I think you should go, Bob,” his mother agreed and Bob gave in. But when they arrived at Bram- blewood and turned into the drive- way, he saw something that caused him to change his mind. (To Be Continued) Grain Prices Higher In Canada Than N.D. Bottineau, N.
