For The Love Of A 'Lady By JEFFE SYNOPSIS: Sir Richard fiuy"ord is in a dark, sullen 100d that betokens the trouble- ime days ahead for him. For “Richard stands challenged duel his cousin, Julian, a undtel, whom Richard whip- for some low villainy. But i Helen D'Arcy rides into chard’s life, her eyes, that pee flashed only scornful con- pt for the young nobleman, smiling tenderly. Forth- m Sir Richard sees a bright- future. Helen'’s aunt, the hess, being wise in the ways lovely, haughty girls, pre- ts' a romance. Melen ridi- lhe very thought, but— g does not know. Chapter 11 A FEMININE RUSE anwhile Helen, standing before g largest mirror in her bed- gmber, stared at the reflection of p loveliness with troubled eyes,/ Fexed, surprised, wondering: “Could it indeed be true?—Pre- us!” why must she remember the button on his cuff; the sud- way he had of lifting his chin looking at her as if about to some question that never came; quick vitality of his brown es; the small scar that made a mple beside his mouth; his odd k of whistling softly between teeth—why?" My-lady turned her back on the r, and, leaning forth of the ’ncnrer Wi Ly RY FARNOL Captain Despard, being the man he was, still smiled and still spur- |red in determined chase. Helen leapt her mare through the gap in ruined park wall and can- Itered lightly over undulating green rd until she espied a man, bus- |ily engaged with a pair of shears ;u‘imming a woefully shaggy hedge, but even at this distance she knew {him, wherefore my lady checked her |steed and tossing off her plumed hat, she shook down her abundant hair and spurred the Witch sharp- ly, which reared, plunged and set off in sudden, wild career. Thus Sir Richard heard a sud- den cry, the muffled thunder of galloping hoofs, and turning, beheld a vision wonderful: bronze-gold tresses out-streaming on the sunny air, and all loveliness swaying to cvery graceful bound. Sir Richard dropped his shears, and small wonder! . . . then again came that cry: | “Stop—oh, stop her!” Sir Richard poised himself for sudden and desperate action. On came those swift, trampling hoofs nearer yet—but now, seeing the perfect poise and bal- Iuncc of her lithe figure, despite her $0 agonized appeal, his eyes twin- kled, nis firm lips curved to sudden smile; then, he sprang and caught the bridle. A sudden wrench . ... the mare and was away—riderless, for my lady lay swooning in Sir Richard's arms—that is to say, her eyes were fast shut, and her supple body lay very soft in his embrace and un- p pen lattice, gazed dreamily round|ysuaily ‘limp. ut the pleasant countryside. And hen she had viewed this tempt- prospect a while and sighed gr it, she rang for her maid. ' And after some while my lady destended the stair; the folds of her riding habit over her arm, and so h the stables, there to wait im-| fently what time old Ben and| it of the groom saddled The ¢ Witeh, her powerful, glossy-coated . Then, slim booted foot in Ben's hand, up she sprang to saddle, gathered the reins, set- herself lightly. The Witch gred gracefully, and was out and ' |y thmugh the paddock. ‘n scarcely weré they beyond u village than was a clatter of ing hoofs, and my lady found in Despard beside her. Helen frowned, the captain bowed. “Helen . .. ." said he gently. “Helen, I love thee!” “And so 'this I wish you good- Rve, sir?” Paptain Despard smiled. “And yet, n, I dare venture to think you be my wife sooner or later.” y lady merely glanced at him wheeled her mare, but out shot captain’s long arm and he her rein, then, down whiz- my lady's riding-switch and Despard, losing the rein, need from ‘the red welt on his t to where my lady ga]lopéd mare 50 yards away. the captain smiled still, but orsé leapt in pursuit. But spur g he would, my lady's fleet mare ased her lead until the cap- was left far behind; and yet, ' THE American Beauty Parlor Egs two of the finest wfllods of permanent ”mg on, the market e ‘We will please you refund your.money. Thus stood he gazing down into SORRY TO KEEP YoU wWAITING S0 LONG, MR. PERKINS, BUT MR. PRINCE 1S STILL N CONFERENCE! the face pillowed on his shoulder, studying it feature by feature—the |mare seems quiet enough, remark- wide, low sweep of brow, the sen- sitive nostrils, the vivid mouth; be sure her deep bosom rose fell somewhat quickly, but her face —how utterly serene, never the quiver of an eyelash! So Sir Richard bowed his head! and kissed her, a singular deliberation; he kissed her hair, one eye, and her mouth and, finding her yet a-swoon, he kissed her mouth, one eye, and her | hair and, indeed, was in the act of doing this for the third time when she looked at him and frowned. She: Where am 1? Sir, I believe you kissed me. He: I'm sure of it. She: Sir, 'twas wholly détestable act. He: Ma'm, 'twas the blissful aber- ration of a happy moment. She: And I a-swoon! Oh, shame, sir! He: apt! Here my lddy had the grace to change color. She: Have you no belier excuse to urge? But a-swoon so gracefully He: Only the best of all-your- self. She: How, sir, how? Dye take me for one to be lightly kissed—a thing so shameless, a creature so light? Set me down this very mo- ment! So, with the extremest of pre- cautions, he set her feet to earth, bowed and stood back while she; ordered her attire with deft, Xcml- nine touches. My lady frowned and began to buL up her shimmering tresses, the | while he watched her with pro-| found interest, whistling softly be- | | tween his teeth. “What is yonder, sir?” she asked, nodding towards the hedge he had been trimming. “Come and see—if you will?” he to| and he did it with| \S THAT THE \\ PROSPECTIVE TENANT, OF THE ADIRONDACK ESTATE % YES, DOCTOR.
