N the vears that came after Rich- enda Fairways had no recollec- tion of how she passed down that hillside into the waiting motor car. She only knew that she had run blindly on with that great agony tearing at her soul—on, anywhere, o long as she could get far away from those two who had so outrageously deceived her—the womdn who had met money—Lucille, the woman who had | been his. ‘“Birds of a feather,” the | old adage ran through her mind. | And she had loved him. And now i:xhp hated him. Ah, God, the pain of t! Her feet had taken her, unheeding, % | down the short, grassed slope of the hillside, tili suddenly the mental agony became physical, too, ina great stabbing knife-thrust through her side. She halted, swaved a little, breath coming in broken jerks. Then the mist cleared from her brain. Presently those two in the bamboo forest above would miss her, would search for her. But they must not find her. She must get away. Away? Where in this strange, new, lonely country could she go? ~Where could she go? “Richenda, If ever you want help, come to me! Promise me that’ The echo of Angus Brodie's words ham- mered agross her brain. In the tor- ment of the upheaval she had felt so alone. There had been nobody to whom she could turn. Then suddenly that blessed remembrance came back. Angus! She had forgotten him. How strange to forget her friend like that! Angus! Her heart leaped in new re- lief. Oh, thank God, there was still Angus,’ and now she must get to Angus. It was at that moment that she saw the hired motor car at the foot of the hill—the car that, though Richenda did not know this, was waiting to take Lucille Davenant away from the little camp forever! Five minutes later Richenda was in that car, urging the astonished boys to start the »ncient engine and be off. They needed but little per- suasion. They had been told to await the coming of a memsahib. Here she was, THEY TORE DOWN THE Y"ARRO“’. WINDING ROAD. her with little pawing han’s and coo- ing voice; the man who had proffered something which she, in the innocence of youthful idealishness, had accepted as love. Love—he couldn’t know the mean- | ing of the word! Love—it was a thing of crystal purity. How dared he bring to it lying lips, unclean heart, the knowledge that, so near behind him, lay a liaison with such a woman as Lucille Davenant? A great surge of anger flooded over Richenda then. He had laid siege to her untouched heart; knowing all the while that he was not worthy, knowing that he was stained, smirched. Laughed at her, maybe, for a trusting fool! Things were getting distorted in her distraught imagination now.

Half a minute later the car, bearing the red-fezzed driver and a blanket- clad apprentice on its- front seat, hooted joyously and tore down the road, leaving a long white haze of dust behind it. The halt at the rallway siding was brief. Richenda dared not walt to have the petrol tank filled, but took the tinopened tins bodily into the car. Later on, when they had put some miles between themselves and the en- campment, they would halt and at- tend to the wants of the antediluvian vehiote. Meanwhile, her only thought was to get away—far, far away. The natives regarded her perplexed- Ily. ‘'In this land of tropic leisure they could not fathom the need for such undue haste. But the memory of her promise of that enormous sum of money was in the satisfied mind of Aii Mutagayo, the Swahill driver. It the memsahib wanted speed, he'd give her speed! So they tore down the narrow, wind- scurrying miles flew to the rear of them. Here and there came great holes in the road, over which Al Mutagayo oareered in gay insouclance, the vehlcle bouncing terrifically, till more than once Richenda’s aching head came thudding against the can- vas cover ahove her as she was hurtled bodily upward from her seat.

Richenda had " regained something of her composure now, but she felt very tired, very misearable.
