The motherii- | neea whieh is the best part of the love all women bear to a man rose uppermost in her heart. 8he forgot everything but her pity for him. “You imagine these things,” she sald gently. “It's because you know there ara some things you have torgotten that you are alway dreading to come across them.” She tried to smile, “It must be ages since.l started to clear away the tea” she said Lriskly. “Are you going to help me It was a daring challenge to her- | self; a mighty effort to get back to the normal.

Nan's eyes grew atartled “But —- but you won't ever have to go back?" she said quickly. His face sobered. “I'm hoping to — I'm tired of being on the shelf already. At the present moment I am going about Iooking for some kind friend who will give me a tremendous shock.” he gald banteringly. “They told me before I came home that a shock might give me back what a shock had taken away. ."

Mrs. Buzzard did mysteriugly disappear {cach day and such a disappearance | could be accounted for in only one way: it must be that Mrs, Buzzard | had & home somewhere. When Jum- { per had declared that he didn't be- {lieve Mrs, Buazard had a nest, he v didn't mean that, It was sim- Py his way of showing that he had | given up all hope of finding out the | Buzzard's secret For a little while Peter and Jum- e by £ide with their backs to that biz stump and said nothing at You see, they felt they had | They sat It s0 long 1hat both were begin- ning to doze, Suddenly Peter sat up with s standing straight up. !

It was a big stump {and it was too tall for them to jump up on. As they sat there staring at it they heard the noise again this time they knew where it came |from. Tt came from inside thal stump. There was no doubt abont {it. You should have seen them | scurrying away, But they only went |a short distance, then turned and | stared at the stump. “That stump must he hollow,” whispered Peter. “That stump must be hollow and there is somebody in- slde it. Who do you suppose it can be “I haven't the least idea," replied Jumper. At that very finstant happened which gave FPeter and Jumper such a fright that they couldn’t move. Without any warn- ling at all & great bird with a bald, |red head appeared on the edge of Ithat old stump.

She did not look at Lyster; she fled back to the house; there was a curious singing nojse in her head; she passed Claudie in the doorway and went straight on to the kitchen; she drew some water from the tap and drank it off thirstily. Nan went up locked the door. It was useless to deceive herself with the lope that anything more than ordinary f{riendly interest had prompted Peter's visit; she went carefully over every word he had sald, every look he had given her, and sha knew that there had been nothing — nothing to justify the hope that had taken so long to dic in her heart. It was nothing to ing. “I can go on eating my heart out for ever,” she thought; “I can go on beating against iron bars all my you and to her room and him - noth- | 1ife, and it won't do any good; why not take what I can? — money is mething, if it'w all oné can hope After all, one man was very much same as another if she could not have Peter — and marriage with Harley Sefton would mean 8o many thin It would her father from ruin, and it would assure the bc future, Sefton would come, knew, and it no longer seemed to matter much, €he only longed to get it over. “Heaps of women marry men they don't love and manage fo live quite happily,” she thought. “And, aiter all, being in love isn’t all happine Look what I have had to suffer. And she hated suffering. Tt was her nature to be bright and happy. The afternoon slipped away, but fton did not come, ghe went down to the village The rain had cleared off and there was a faint tinge of sunset in the sky. Nan passed the road along which one went to Little Gadsden. She stond for a moment looking at the white signboard with a half smile. The road led away out of her life. She had no business there at all. Everything seemed just the same as it had done years ago when she was a child and living in durance vile under her stepmother's sharp tongue. A woman came out of a cottage as Nan passed and called to her. Nan knew the shrill, rather domi- neering voice long before she turn- ed; and a little shiver of distaste passed through her as she met the cold, beady eyes of the vicar's sis- ter. “I was fust thinking about you, Miss Marraby,” she declared; her beady eyes seemed to take in every detail of Nan's attire at a glances she held out to Nan her thin, cot- ton-gloved hand. “I was wonderlng if perhaps you would come and help us decorate for Easter. I know you don't take much interest in parish affairs, but save 1 she “Some people are coming over | from Gadsden to help.

She attends the Gadsden church, of course, but she is coming over to help us, and has promised to bring all the white flowers for the font. She has won- derful greenhouses, I believe, and is very good to charity; they say there are always quite a number of wounded soldiers staying in her house."” “Real said Nan. “Yes — there are, of course, peo- ple who say that it is not quite proper — seeing that Mrs ., Mears is so young — and a widow — but one must sink conventionalities in this war, don't you think, Miss Marraby 7" “I haven't thought about it,” said Nan. “Rut it's very kind of Mrs. Mears to be good to the soldiers— they deserve the best anyone can offer them." “Quite so — quite &0 . .

Nan's steps slackened. “What do you mean?” she asked. Miss Dudeney shrugged her shoulders. “Please don't think I am eriti- cizing her at all — she is a friend of mine, and I wish her every hap- piness. But 1 knew poor dear Cap- tain Mears, and, after all, it is bare- ly two years since he was Killed . one would have thought she might have-grieved for him just a| little longer, don’t you think?" “I don’t understand you in the least,” Nan said biuntly.
