PERKINS 2 ' T For The Love Of A Lady By JEFFERY FARNOL SYNOPSIS: Helen D’Arcy is " pigued: by :Sir Richard Guyf- »ford’s indifference to her invi- tations to visit her home. She rides 1o the Guyfford estate and | contrives to have Richard res- | oné her from a wild-dashing | horse. Richard has been chal- Ienged to a duel by his cousin, Julian, a rascal. Moved by the danger in which Richard $tands, Helen utters a fate- ful sentence “Should Julian give me cause, I would shoot him!”—words that are to cast a deep shadow over their ro- | ménce, Helen's haughty spirit, however, is not long subdued. $he becomes angry with Rich- ard and rides off in high dis- dain. Chapter 13 BEWARE—THE CAT’S EYE | Now it befell, about this time, that Julian Guyfford, languishing | i his sickness, was haunted by evil | dreams of soft feet that crept about | his chamber, and of one who sought for the hidden thing the while he himself, sunk in a dreadful lethar- &v, lay helpless, until he sank back into black deeps-of unconseiousness. But upon a morning he opened his eyes to see Doctor Samson. “How are ye to-day, Mr. Julian?” “You puzzle me! You don't im- Pprove, sir!” “Improve?” cried Julian, with frill of queer, high-pitched laugh- ter. “I'm dying, man, dying . . . by fnches! Every day I grow weaker, and every night. . . . I see visions feel hands touch me i’ the| dark! And every day I am worse —mark that! . . . How—don't ye see it? Must I tell you?—murder, Samson, murder!” i Doctor S8amson recoiled in horri- fied dismay and Julian spoke: '!“Eh, Samson, do I shock ye? How long have I lain here?” “Eight days, sir.” “Aha, and why? Have I any bones broken? Not ohe! Am I gursed with any deep-rooted ail- gent? No! Then what ails me, n?” 1:“Sir, T confess—" “Then I'll resolve ye this mys- tery, and in one word—poison! . . . Ay, poison, my good fool! They're dragging me nearer my grave every might! . . . . killing me, Samson, killing me Dby degrees, slow but Sure! = But I'll up and cheat 'em yet! Bring me my clothes . . . .” The quick whispered speech ended fn a gasp and the sick man sank Back trembling, while Doctor Sam- son, silent and aghast, stared down &t him. ““Mr. Julian . . . sir,” he stam- mered. “"Tis dreadful accusation, this . . . whom do you suspect?” ! “Villains, Samson;, an arch-rogue, my. shake—Tom Pitt!"” * “Mr, Julian,” said the doctor, “let me beg of you to compose your- Se1f. These horrid suspicions are but the outcome of your fevered mind.” “Tush!” cried Julian in swift pas- slon. “I'l up. I'll quit this cursed inn!” 4 r, to go abroad may prove fa- tal” “And to be here, Samson, surely THE American Beauty Parlor Has two of the finest methods of permanent waving on the market day. .

Here's for it!” And, slipping- out of bed, Julian took two steps, reel- ed, clutched the bed-post. Then, supported by the sturdy doctor, he began to stumble across the chamber; fiercely resolute, he set his teeth until gradually his strength returned somewhat. There- after, he dressed himself slowly, and now he tottered up and down again, then sinking into an elbow {chair at last. | “Brandy!” he gasped, “no, notf| out o' the bottle! Get some from | landlord John; ‘’twill be—safer!" | Shaking dubious head, Dector Asprawl in the chair, Julian re- mained motionless until, hearing a the latch lift stealthily and the door begin to open; then into the room came the sleek head of Tom Pitt. “I'm here, Tom, lad!” said Julian, “I'm about again, Tom—the which shall surprise thee;—I see it does! But why so pale—ha? Come hith- er, now, Tom, answer and tell me —where is thy master?” “Why, sir, Mr. Julian, you are my master.” ing dog!” Julian's cane whiz- zed viclously and, smitten across the face, Tom Pitt uttered a shrill cry. - Julian followe2 and struck at him 'till his strength failed. “Off ... worm!"” he panted. “Get ye ... to your master and tell him I choose steel or a bullet rather jthan poison. . . . " Tom Pitt crawled to the door and, uttering no word, looked at his erstwhile master. Now, meeting this look and reading it aright, Julian laughed faintly. “Shoot straight!” said he, then Tom Pitt went his way. Doctor Samson returning with the brandy, found his patient sunk down in the chair. Having gulped the potent spirit, he sat a while staring. “Ha, 'tis a dog-hole, this!"” he ex- claimed. “’Tis an aceursed place, a very death trap—come help me down the stair out into the sun- shine!” Crossing unsteadily to the tumbled bed he drew a pistol from beneath ‘the bolster. “There’s more about this pistol than meets the eye!” Then slip- ping the weapon into wide coat- pocket, he took the doctor’s arm, and having slowly descended the wide stair, came forth into the sun- shine. “The sun is strangely pleasant— let us walk. I'll seek out Cousin Dick!” “But, sir!” cried the doctor. “Mr. Julian, you'll never attempt to cross blades—" “Ne, no!” he -answered jovially. “I meant to kill him—once on a time, but today my thirst for his blood is strangely abated. My present desire is but for a word with him. Yet Weare is a good step hence, Yet T'll walk to the stile by Fallowdene Wood.” They set off together. The doc- tor noticed how he would glance behind him with eyes alert—ex- pectant. When they reached the stile ‘at last, Dr. Samson ventured to gquestion him: “Mr. Julian, who do ye look for?” “Lord, man,” gasped Julian, ‘I tell you I'm haunted! Nay, my good soul, I am not mad—in proof of—+- teke this!” and drawing the pistol from his pocket, he thrust it into the doctor's reluctant grasp. “You shall at your.convenience seek out my Cousin Richard and |give him this weapon—say I bade you tell him there is more in this than meets the eye! . . . And now you may leave me.” Unwillingly and with many omi- |nous sakes of the head, Doctor Samson trudged heavily away;. long after he had gone Julian sat there, | listening eagerly, and on his face that same dark look of expectancy. At last he arose and went on into {the wood. Once he started and| turned to stare towards the denses | undergrowth ‘whence had come & | vague stir, and he smiled faintly, because here was no breath of wind to cause such stir. ! Smiling still, he walked thither, | a certain lofty, straggling bramble- bush. ~ Whistling, he approached this bush—to be deafened, blinded, smitten through by a sudden keen agony that brought him to his knees, gasping and choking hor- ribly, Something small and bright LODGE, EXQUISITELY FURNISHED RAGE - BOAT-HOUSES RESPONSIBLE PARTY, TO occUPY THE PREMISES © 1929, Newspaper Featurs Secvie, inc, Gront Brita rights reserved rolled within his failing vision.

Gently, Sir Richard laid him down, and espied some- thing that rolled from dead fingers, something small and bright, and he stared in sudden dreadful horror to see his own signet ring. . . “And, Richard, I vow to you,| should he ever give me cause I would shoot him—and joy to do it!” Helen's very words, and thus horribly fulfilled!
