Captain Despard goes to the Chapter 38 | A MISSING GARDNER | The day being young, birds were | earolling as Helen stepped forth. my lady's sleep had been any- thing but dreamless; all night long she had been haunted of a face wthosé cheek bore a smear of blood, yeét whose shapely mouth smiled. There had been a chin to this face, also, square and strong, whose self- éahfident jut reminded her of an- other chin indeed this chin had been the leading cause of so much Htter-effect, for, my lady had sat wp ih bed exclaiming: ##0h, good lack—how blind a fool am I!” #And now, haunted by memory this extremely odd odd-man and hdving debt of gratitude to speak, #he made her way towards the kitchen garden, his usual haunt, Bt found it empty.

Do 'ee want ‘im, my leddy?” “I wish to—thank him, Ben." " ylere while old Ben stared agape, de‘ume aghast, my lady de- last night's terrifying ad- “Oh, ma'm,” she twittered. “I, oh, T had to wake your ladyship, you did so moan, ma'm.” “And small wonder, child—such horrors! For I dreamed fantasti- cal and indecorus folly. Come, dress me. And whiles T eat, T'll speak with the gardener.” “Butf, ma'm, he never come night here today.” “Oh!" said my lady musingly. “But the Viscount awaits you.” “Does he forsooth? Then go and o{{tell aunt I'd speak with her.” “She's oui, ma'm—went a-driving so soon as she'd read the letter.” “What letter?” “One brought by John, the land- lord.” So presently Helen descended to her solitary meal, and having fin- ished went forth unwillingly to greet the Viscount. As they paced the lawn together she sensed in him such fevered agitation, that instinctively she drew away, somewhat. “You are ill, Viscount?” she be- gan, then caught her breath, for in that moment he was on his kneges before her, a wild, pitiful creaturc, looking up at her with fearful eyes. “Helen! You can give me life or . cast for me death!” “Nay, but—how, how?” she ques- tioned. “What seek you of me—?” “Thyself . . . come with me . . . marry me!” Instinctively she recoiled, and then he was on his feet. Yet now his voice was gentle: “Am I sudden? Seem I so, in- deed? Yet dost know I dote on the2. Think, madam, think on this and be kind—a cruel Fate compels me suddenly hence—hence for gocd he and all, I must away. But thou, “Well—ain't he, ma'm?

Wed me, Helen, wed me, and I'll be thy slave! Come with me and T'll be a god defying all—" “8ir,” cried she with imperious gesture. “Oh, my lord, say no more—for my answer you know ai- ready in your heart . . . now as you have ever known.” Viscount Brocklehurst drew a deep breath and stood with hag- gard gaze bent earthward, while his restless fingers fidgeted with his cane. “And so . .. farewell to Hope!” sighed he. “Wilt give me one o' thy roses, Helen, to bear with me for thy sake?” . Smiling, she pluckéd and gave him a scarlet, opening bud, and he stood awhile twisting it, in nervous fingers. “Tis fair garden, this!” said he. “Youwll lack for one to tend it, now. t' other poor rogue is gone, and yet—" “Gone, sir?” she repeated. “Who? Pray, what do you mean, Viscount?” “Why, that he's taken—but sure you've heard?” “I've heard nothing. Pray, who is taken?” “Why, the gardner worked here . called himself, I think—Fulla- love. He struggled with his cap- tors, it seems, and took some scathe in consequence.” “Ah, you mean he les hurt . . . wounded?” “Somewhat. But Gad, madam, the poor rogue's humble welfare would seem to interest you strange- y!” “Being one o’ my servants, sir— not even the law touches him un- challenged. Where is he?” “I saw him lying at a little inn some miles away.” “You saw him?" “The fellow Oldcraft showed me the pitiful wretch.” “Then will I see him also!” said she and set off towards the house. “Aha!” sighed the Viscount. “'Tis a rarely fortunate rogue he to find such potent champion as thyself, Helen. Good fortune attend thee, Helen, and so farewell, my chaise waits and—alas, I must be gone.” “Stay, sir,” cried she, “you know where he lies ;you shall carry me thither if you will, Viscount.” “Ah, Helen, 'twould be purest joy to serve you, but—" “Nay—wait, sir!” she commanded. “I do but leave word for my aunt; wait, I beg!” And away sped Helen, forthwith, while the Viscount stood. sombre gaze sent earthward again twisting and twirling the rose in his fingers. Suddenly he uttered a stifled exclamation, and stared at the slow-welling blood where a thorn had pricked him. Deliberate- ly he dropped the flower and, set- ting his heel upon 'it, crushed the rose deep into the sod. He looked up. smiling as Helen reappeared, flushed, bright-eyed and so alluring in her glowing beauty that he drew a breath of stealthy rapture . . . i Then, side by side, they hurried across the lawn and so, presently whére?” (I'd peril my very soul for thee— WuWell, 'twere the mare—ay, 'twere thou'rt my love, adored beyond lifz, 3*9 ‘Witch as brought us 'quainted beyond all fame and honour—then v (Copyright, were gone; and nothing to mark their passing save the broken petals of a crushed and fading rose. 1928, Jeffery Farnol) The Viscoun{’s monstrous plot is disclosed in tomorrow’s chap- ter.
