Captain Despard and Wiscount Brocklehurst, two of Helen's suitors, are plotting Wwith Julian to force Helen into marriage and thercby gain her fortune. Helen rides to the Guyfford estate and by a ruse tontrives to have Richard res- cwe ‘her from danger. In a pledge of friendship, he gives his ring to her and she places a -locket and chain about his neck: Chapter 12 FATAL WORDS Upon a maruie seal hard by lay | Bir Richard's coat, an old military Eloak - turned up and lined with Scarlet, and, sinking upon the seat, Helen' D'Arcy drew this cloak ‘about hérself, beckoning him to sit be- 8ide her. “Come,” sald she somy “tell me of your mother.” Thus, inspired by her unwonted #éntleness, sympathy and under- Btanding, he forgot his taciturnity and told her of the mother who was to him only a revered dream and, led on by her subtle question- ing, described his early years: him- s€lf a lonely child in the ungov- etned household of his careless, Widowed uncle, Julian’s father. He told of his impish childhood and Wayward youth and the follles .of His early, reckless manhood. [ “Falth, T ‘babble; I chatter, I *l!e o' myself.” . “Nay, Richard, thou art talking to thy friend, here in thy mother’s|€nough o' this; ghirden.” “Garden? 'Tis a desolation!” he flhed “And yet, for her sake, I d have it bloom again, and by #ly own labour if it might be.” “And why should it not be?” o “Twill take time . . . there is gnch to do!" he answered evasive- . “Well, and why should you not flo it?” she persisted. “What shall der, what shall stay your la- in this garden?

Oh, the man's a mon- #ter, a fiend, a murderous devil, a hateful, despicable wretch, an odi- ous reptile, a very rogue ingrain—" “Zounds!” exclaimed Sir Rich- ‘ ard, “Now prithee stay and take a . breath.” “Oh, mock as you will!” said my 3 s roree - THE American Beauty Parlor Has two of the finest methods of permanent waving on the market h’flay !

Ay, true!” he nodded “More especially on a woman’s lips.” “Nay, Richard, but Mr. Trump- ington’s dismal forebodings are shared by many—they do tell me even by you yourself, Richard—that you ha’ put all your worldly affairs in order—that you are prepared and quite resigned to meet your death. . . to being killed at the end of the month!” “Sure, Helen, you know 'tis only usual to make some such prepara- tions before a meeting.” “Nay, Richard, here is the reason you doubt if you will live long enough to see your mother's gar- den bloom again, You expect to die—is it not so?” “That what is to be—wili be.” J‘And thus,” said she in sudden anger, “thus I am to be robbed of my friend by an unworthy creature, @ - revengeful -wretch, a dastardly villain!" “Nay—faith, I hope not. . . word!" sald she But choose me a bet- ter theme.” “Then, Richard, sit down, and let us talk of how I, thy friend may avert this danger from thee!' “Not so!” he answered gravely “Here's matter beyond the reach of friendship—even thine, so let be, Helen!” “And so” she continued, “be- cause I am thy friend indeed, de- termined am I to speak with Mr. Jullan Guyfford this very night.” “How—you will see Julian? Ma- dame; would you stoop ‘to plead with him?” “No such folly, sir! I would ap- peal to the cupidity o' the wretch I shall bribe him.” Sir Richard laughed so that my lady stared in angry amazement. “What, ma'm, you mean actually to offer Julian money? You will pay him to spare miserable me?” “I shall offer him money to quit the country immediately!” -8ir (Richard ‘was serious enough now, eyeing my lady in every-grow- ing wonderment. “How much are you prepared to offer for me?” “8ir, I shall pay your detestable cousin as little as possible, you may rest assured!” So saying, my lady rose and, coming to her mare, mounted with Sir Richard's assistance. “S0 then you will persist in this, even though I tell you 'twill be la- bour in vain?” he questioned. “Howbeit, I shall have tried my best!” “Even though he laugh at you— make: your name a byword?” -4This,” quoth she, “this will I endure for friendship’s sake! ship such as mine no light thing!” “Light?” he exclaimed. “A light thing? 'Fore. heaven, 'tis ponder- ous as a mountain, overwhelming as an avalanche! 'Tis a very cata- « it crushes me, stifles me! In a word, ma'm, I find it some- thing embarrassing!” Gone was the meek martyr, lost |in the raging goddess. “I am ponderous as a mountain? - I thank you, sir! A catacylsm? ! . 8ir, my gratitude! I overwhelm, | crush. stifle you? Alack, poor wretch! So then will I relieve you of these hateful embarrassments—) thus!” So saying, she leaned from | the saddle and, with swift, passion- ' ate gesture, wrenched the nmg': locket from his neck. Sir Richard bowed! “So ends our new-born friendship, like a whirl-| wind, leaving me dazed, breath- less and—" HEART NORMAL " BREATHING FAIR.

Sir Richard watched until mare {and rider were out of sight, then turned and hurried towards Greg ory in the kitchen garden. “Greg, aid he, “go saddle me the bay.” Now my lady, reaching the high- way, reined her mare to ‘a canter, ‘to a walk and often glanced back as if expecting pursuit; thus eve- ning had come as she reached a place where the road narrowed. “Halt, ma'm;” cried vaguely familiar, and a masked man swung his horse across her path |and she caught the dull gleam of a | pistol barrel; also, she saw this grim figure was shrouded in an old, miiitary coat turned up and faced with scarlet. “How then, sir, aid she in lofty | disdain. “You will play highway- man because I once so named you? 'Tis the ring you want of me, I think?" 3 The man bowed; and then she heard him whistling softly between his teeth. “Why, then, sir, take it! The next time we meet, be so obliging | to pass by at a distance!” Drawing forth her purse she| hurled it to the dusty road so fiercely that he loose gauntlet flew with it: “There—take it -and choking voice. “Ay m«h it my lasting contempt! Now—out o' my road!” ‘The horseman bowed, reined back | his mount, and my lady galloped | away like a whirlwind.
