MER( TR For The Love Of A Lady By Jerrery FarnoL YNOPSIS: Helen D’Arcy, in- censed and outraged by Sir Richard’s baseless insinuations, strikes him in the face with her whip and rides off with Greg- ery. Sir Richard concludes that® he has misjudged her and de- cides on a bold course. He hurries to the village, meets Gregory and tells him that he is determined’ to marry the beautiful Helen. Richard spies a furtive shadow in the night and follows—it is Tom Pitt deliver- ing a mysterious note addressed to Helen’s maid, Betty. Richard finds the note where Tom left it in a garden arbour, when to his surprise Helen approaches him—but Helen is strangely meek and changed, a picture of loveliness in the bright moon- light. Chapter 23 A RADIANT DAWN Tenderly but quickly, Sir Richard grasped his lovely burden, Helen kicking feebly and voicing mild pro- tests. Vanished was my lady's haughty spirit and disdain, that fierce temper with which she had struck Sir Richard only a few hours before. “Why . . . what . , .?” she whis- pered. “The dew,” he explained. “It lies heavy and I fear for thy pret- ty feet.” “Oh, 'tis hateful to abuse my helplessness,” but my lady’s voice betrayed her utter lack of scorn and its gentleness surprised even herself. Keeping close to the shadows of the garden, Sir Richard carried my lady, and she, nestling within his arms, felt a delightful sense of repose and comfort, so much so that she rested handsome head against Sir Richard’s shoulder. Thus they came to a rustic t th an ancient cherry tree and carefully he placed her upon it, seating himself beside her. Once more he unfolded the letter to the moonlight and together they read ryoe ' “Our Thomas becomes somewhat e in places,” said Sir Richard 7 » said Helen, pointing to « certain line, “this is clear enough,” “Should you hear aught of me, for naught is well until he is took.” “Richard, surely this means you.’ iInto her voice had come again that | exquisite note of tendern There cnsued a silence and Hel- en, grasping Richard's arm with both hands, watched his thoughtful features as he studied Tom Pitt's ‘scrawnng—lhe bold line of nose |and brow, the sombre eyes, the sen- Isitive mouth and the square jut of ;chin. . . A strong face? Yes, de- cidedly! A good face? Beyond all doubting! Now as my la |ed, Sir Richard turned to look into ther uplifted eyes and she saw his mobile lips curve in unexpected ten- derness. | “¥ou | tioned. | “No, indeed—oh, no!”, she an- |swered, bending to peer at the let- |ter, again. “The night is very {warm. But what more make you ‘o' this rougish message.” “Well, this mention o’ the Haunt- ed Mill inspires me to prophesy {that verily haunted 'tis like to be. And so much for this. So come we .now to thyself and myself.” | “And what of me?” she asked “Well, first thou art my Helen!” “And thou art presumptuou | said she, though kind, a caress and i “Second, thourt | pecial housebreaker \the very act, | daunted—" ) Richard, ever fecl no cold?” he not a reproach. mine own es- that, caught i’ yet faced me un- I vow no poor more fearful than ’ soul “Then art braver than I deemed!” aid he, and took her hand in both his 0 'twas to serve thy ;!nx:xui" Here he sed her hand | to his lips and kissed it My lady ‘xxesucd closer to Sir Richard, her slim hand still held firmly in his | grasp. Again they sat silent, re- luctant to break the peaceful quiet |of the enchanted night. At last my lady spoke in voice meek and all: va; f “And . , . you . where you found it, the ring I had |lost to one I fhought you . . . you left it to ward suspicion from me at peril of your life . . . where- fore?” “You were my friend.” “And would be so still,” she an- {swered, “thy ever grateful friend.” “Then Helen, in friendship’ HANTS ORI AR RRR AR o 1 | name, T bid you tell me where is your cat's-eye ring?” “I lost it,” she answered, |ing to him in swift surprise. why do you—?" “Helen, tell me how you lost it| and when?” “Nay, I'm not sure, yet I think ‘twas when the masked man stayed me in the lane.

Witness af- ter witness had been called and examined while Richard crouched at the judas, had waiched, listen- ed, and learned many things about himself. He was a sof, a careless land- lord, a man of riot and evil life, a friend of the gypsies, vagabonds, thieves and dangerous malefactors. Viscount Brocklehurst had de- scribed his vicious assault upon the dead man. Captain Despard de- posed briefly as to the impending duel. Tom Pitt had told how, at about the fatal hour, he had chanc- ed to see Sir Richard gallop his horse vgr& furiously out of the wood, hand. Then followed evidence as to the finding of Sir Richard’s blood-stained cloak. “And zounds!" muttered Sir Rich- ard, “pever sounded man more guilty rogue than I! But ... Tom Pitt—you must clap a pistol in my fist to damn me beyond redemption —I wonder why?” All about him were men who were eager to drag him to shame- ful doom—more especially Viscount Brocklehurst and Tom Pitt. And wherefore? The one had been Jul- ian’s famillar friend, the other, his servant. Then there was his cloak, found in the wood and smeared with blood. How came it there? A man had worn it that evening in the lane. What of Julian's warn- ing against a cat's-eye ring—Hel- en’s ring, worn on the fatal pistol hand of Julian's murderer?
