He did not admit that he was nervous, vet there had come upon him something that resembled uneasiness, He had been thinking during his ride to London about the peculiar behavior of Hugo on the previous night. The supposition that Hugo had found Dr. Twist of Health- ward Ho trying to burgle Rudge Hal was too absurd for consideration, but it did seem possible that he had sur- prised some_sort of an attempt upon the house. Incoherent as his story had beon, it had appeared to rest upon that cubstratum of fact, and John had pro- tested against being sent to London on an errand that could have been put through, much more simply by letter, at & time when burglars were in the rhood ne;&?.b{éarmody had laughed at his ap- prehensions.

An aching humility swept over him. And yet she had come here tonight to see him. He was trying to think of some remark that would show Li appreciaticn of that divine benevolence, | when she spoke again. “Johnnie, let's go out on the moat. John's heart was singing like one of the morning stars. The suggestion wa: not one he would have made himself, for it would not have occurred to him. but, now that it had been made, he saw how excellent it was. He tried to say 80, but words would not come to him. They walked in silence down the yew- hedged path. It was very dark here, and even the gleam of white that was had become indistinct. ‘Johnnie?” 'Yes?” He heard her utter a little exclama- tion. Something soft and scented stumbled against him, and, for an in- stant, he was holding her in his arms. The next moment he had very properly | released her again, and he heard her laugh. “Sorry,” sald Pat. “I stumbled.” John did not reply. He was incap- able of speech. That swift moment of contact had had the effect of clarifying his mental turmoil. Luminously now he perceived what was causing his lack of eloquence. It was the desire to kiss Pat, to reach out and snatch her up in his ‘arms and hold her there. He stopped abruptly. In stories girls drew their breath in sharply and sald “Oh, why must youi spoil everything like this?” He decided not to spoil every: thing. Walking warily, he reached th little gate that led to the boathouse steps and opened it with something of a flourish. “Be careful,” he said. “What of?” said Pat. It seemed to John that she spoke a trifie flatly. “These steps are rather tricky.” “Oh!” said Pat. He followed her into the punt, op- pressed once more by a feeling that something had gone wrong with what should have been the most wonderful night of his life. Girls are creatures of moods, and Pat seemed now to have fallen into one of odd alofness. She said nothing as he pushed the boat out, and remained silent as it slid through the water with a little tinkling ripple, bearing them into a world of stars and coolness, where everything was still and the trees stood out against the sky as if carved out of cardboard. Then, some- ;ll;l;re byu'&he l)mem:.:ltnd where the s nested, something leaped noisil, in_the water. o i Pat sat up. “That would have excited father,” she said. “I know he's dying to get out here and have another go at the pike. Johnnie, I do wish somebody could stop this absurd feud between him and Mr. Carmody. 1It's too silly. I know father would be all over Mr. Carmody, if only he would make some sort of advance. After all, he did behave very badly.

And gradually the magic of the night began to soften John's annoyance. London had been stiflingly hot, and this coolness was like balm. Emily had dlsappeared into the darkness, which probably meant that she would clump back up the stairs at 2 in the morning, having rolled in something unpleasant, and ruin his night's repose by leaping on his chest, but he could not bring him- self to worry about it. A sort of beatific peace was upon him. It was almost as though an inner voice were whispering to him that he was on the brink of some wonderful experience. And what experience the immediate future could hold, except the possible washing of Emily when she finally decided to come home, he was unable to imagine. Moving at a leisurely pace, he worked round to the back of the house again. “Johnnie?" He stepped back as if he had received a blow. It was the voice of Pat, sound- ing in the warm silence like moonlight made audible. “Is that you, Johnnie?"” John broke into a little run. That mysterious premonition had meant something, after all. But he had never dreamed it could mean anything so ‘wonderful as this ‘The night was full of stars, but over- ‘hanging trees made the spot where they stood s little island of darkness, in which all that was visible of Pat was a faint gleaming of white. John stared at_her dumbly. Pat, for her part, appeared composed. Ehe sal A “I thought I'd come up and see how you were getting on.

In some ways you're so slow, but I believe, when you | really start out to do anything, you generally put it through.” “Slow?"” said John, stung. “How do u think you're slow?” “Oh, just slow.’ John plied the paddle wrathfully, and the boat shot forward. “Don't go so fast,” said Pat. “I thought I was slow,” retorted John. Pat gurgled in the darkness. “Did I wound you, Johnnie? orry. You aren't slow. It's prudence, I expect.” ‘How do you mean, prudence’ “Oh, just prudence. I can't ex- plain. Prudence! John sat and stared through the darkness in a futile effort to see her face. Prudence! Was she referring . . . ? Had she meant ... ? Did she allude . . . ? He came to life and dug the paddle into the water. Of course she wasn't. Of course she hadn't. Of course she didn’t. In that little episode on the path, he had behaved exactly as he should have behave If he behaved as he should not have behaved, if he had behaved as that old flint-ax and bearskin John of the stone age would have had him behave, he would have behaved unpardonably. The swift in- | take of the breath and the “Oh, why must you spoil everything like this?"— that was what would have been the re- sult of listening to the advice of a bounder of an ancestor who might have been a social success in his day, but naturally didn’t understand the niceties of modern civilizatio; Nevertheless, he worked with un- necessary vigor at the paddle, calling down another rebuke from his pas- st ger. “Don't race along like that. Do you want to get this over quickly and send me home to bed! “No,” was all John could find to say. ““Well, I suppose I ought to be think- ing of bed. Il tell you what. We'll do the thing in style. The return by water. You can take me out into the skirme and down as far as the bridge and drop me there. Or is that too big a program? You're probably tired.” John had motored 200 miles that day, but he had never felt less tired. 11 right,” he said. i ‘Push on, then,” said Pat. “Only do go slowly. I wan't to enjoy this. I don’t want to izz by all the old land- marks. How far to Ghost Corner? It's just ahead.” Well, take it easy. The moat proper encircled the Hall. With the gradual spread of peace throughout the land its original pur- poses had been forgotten, and later members of the family had broadened it and sprinkled it with little islands, with the view of converting it into an ornamental lake. Apparently, it came to an end at the spot where a mass of yew-trees stood forbiddingly In a gloomy Tow, that haunted spot that Pat ag a child had named Ghost Corner; but, if you approached this corner intrepidly, you found there a narrow channel. Which navigated, you came into a Wix&dingfl str;slv;\ that led past meadows and under bridges to the upper reaches of the Sklrme.' i “How old were you, Johnnle, when you were first. brave enough to come past Ghost Corner at night, all by your- self?” asked Pat. I did it on my sixteenth birthday.” “What made you such a hero that particular day?” “You had bet me I wouldn't, if you remember.” ““And you went and did it? Oh, dear! It's funny to think of you and me as kids on this very bit of water, and here we are again now, old and worn and quite different people, and the water's Just the same as ever.” John stopped paddling. “I'm not different at all,” he said.

And all the while he had been supposing his conduct due to delicacy and a sense of what was fitting and would be appreciated. In John's code, it was the duty of a man | who has toid a girl he loved her and | been informed that she does not lavri him to efface himself, to pass out of her life till the memory of his crude audacity shall have been blotted out by time.

Good night, Johnnie, dear. Don't forget tomorrow.” She flitted away into the darkness, and John, releasing his hold on the bank and starting up as if he had had an electric shock, was carried out into midstream. He was tingling from head the foot. It could not have happened, of course, but for a moment he had sud- denly received the extraordinary im- pression that Pat had kissed him. (To be contimued.) PR .
