John Wade went back to his bed, and, when he woke, it was late afternoon. He had had his bath and was dressed before Elk ar- rived. “No, there's no news, except that the Aylesbury police arrested a man they thought was Golly. It wasn't him, though.” But Elk was portentous! and Wade knew that he news, of a kind. IT ‘was nearer 8 o'clock than 7 when | solemn, serious lady, Lila Smith. can let her go home now. il safe.

Elk nodded. “With bouquets,” he said sardoni- | cally, and made a sweeping movement to indicate the size of the floral offer- ing. %vnde made & little grimace. The activities of Lord Siniford brought to him a sense of uneasiness. What was the motive behind his attentions to Lila Smith? “I'll see Lila,” he said, after a long silence. Elk grunted something that might have been agreement. Ten minutes later John Wade was on his way to the girl's temporary lodg- ing. When she greeted him, there was a look on her face that he had not seen before; her eyes were brighter, and it seemed that there was a note of confidence in her voice. Her old attitude toward him had undergone a subtle change, and he was a little baffled. That in the past 24 hours Lila Smith had tidied the chaos of her perspectives and had placed him, of .fi'pmple, in the immediate fore- ground, was not to be imagined. Yet this had happened. She could meet his gaze without em- barrassment, could, from the security of her sudden understanding, expe- rience a pleasant sense of superiority. In the expectation of his visit, she had taken considerable pains to make her- self unusually presentable. She received him in the little parlor | ® of her temporary lodging, sitting before a small fire. Her calm, self-possessed air made him feel very uneasy. “You had a terrible time last night,” she said. “The woman who is looking after me—I call her Alice—told me. Poor Mrs. Oaks! We had a flood years ago. The water filled the cellar and covered the ground floor. It was awful. By the way, why didn't you come to see me this morning?” “I was asleep,” he said. “Up all night. ¥loods, and all that sort of | thing.” “I thought yowlmight be,” she said. ‘There was.&n awkward pause— awkward for but she was enjoying his embarrass; ““You've rougt your face,” he said suddenly, and “laughed. “Of course.

But the ‘whole thing seems now like a horrible nightmare. Horrible!” She had come back to unpleasant Tealities, for presently she asked: “Why do they hate you so?” “Who?” he asked. She hesitated. “Mrs. Oaks and — and — everybody.

I don’t know."” “He wants to marry me,” with the greatest calmness. absurd? - But he does—I should be Lady Siniford. Of course,” she went on, “he drinks, and he’s a dreadful man.” Wade shook her hand gently. “Just stop, will you, Lila? He really wants to marry and Mrs. Oaks agrees? She does, does she! Are you going to marry him?” She smiled at the question. “Of course not! I'm marry . . . well, anybody nice.” “Like me?” Her eyes were fixed on his, serious eyes, full of confidence. “Like you,” she said quietly. John Wade went out of the house, an hour later, a new man. Life had as- sumed new values. He hardly saw Elk, who was waiting for him at the corner. “A man named Poude or Woude or something like that rang you up—wants to see you. He's a lawyer——" ~Brude?” asked John, coming back to arth. “That's right—Brude. It is very im- portant.
