But he did not. The house seemed empty. Lord Alfred had gone out in the car with Gaby, Mr. Sheridan, and the Benthams. Julian was hid- ing somewhere with “Dick.” I was perhaps too worn, perhaps too full of @ new interest, to care much about that. So I sat down, read the illus- trated papers, and smoked. An hour passed. I went out again. Indeed, the ter- race was deserted, and I walked right down the garden, almost to the fore- | shore. I felt inclined to explore, On the right, running down almost to tho sea, with a little wood of fir trees, casting the black shadow of their everlasting leav It looked a fairy wood. I went In. It smelled motst and earthy. As it was a little wood, I thought I would go down to the sea ovér the spongy carpet of fallen needles, Just as I reached the | middie I started, I had not expected what I saw—Mr, Padbury, estab- Mashed in @ hollow, huddled up itn overcoat and muffler, smoking a cigar, and reading "The Winning Post.” He looked up. “Fullo! Were you looking for me?” ‘This Impertinence silenced me, so he had time to go on. “I say, Little Bear, {t was nico of you to come after me.” He stood up, ceme toward me, and, as ho put out a hand, I stepped back. “Don't touch me." “Dear me!

I said nothing, but thrust him away and rap. I ran down the slope, but at once I heard his footsteps behind me. We were |dodging between the trunks, How long It seemed, this little way to the |sea, I was terrified. I think I lost my direction, or he headed mo off, for Just as I caught a glimpse of the| sea I found that he stood between me and the open. I stopped. Sud- denly we found ourselves one on each aside of @ tree, jumping from side to side, he pursuing me. “Come on,” he sald, “don't be silly. I won't eat you.” He grabbed at me, missed. “Come on, you silly kid. You know you want to be caught.” I eluded him again, two or three times. “Don't you overdo the coy- ness, or I'll go home.” This must have put me off my guard, for he feinted, pretended to lunge to the right, and coming round the tree ov the left, selzed mo round the waist That contact infuriated me.
