"Do you dare me?” w ith an eager
step forw ard.
"U oodby.”
“Goodby! I say, are you sure you
can find th e Ren wood cottage?” he
called a f te r her. T he answ er came
back through the c latter of hoofs, ac
com panied by a smile th a t seduced his
self possession.
“I shall find it in tim e.”
F o r a long tim e he stood w atching
h er as she raced down the road.
“A t my peril,” he mused, shaking his
head w ith a queer smile. “ By George,
th a t's fair w arning enough. She’s
beautiful.”
At dinner th a t night the lion. Pene
lope restored the w atch to her broth
er, much to his em barrassm ent, for he
had told the duke It w as being repair
ed in town.
“ I t w asn 't this w atch th a t I m eant,
old chap,” he announced irreverently to
th e duke, quite red in the face. “ W here
did you find it. Pen?” She caught the
plea in bis eye and responded loyally.
“You dropped it, 1 daresay, in pur
suing Mr. Shaw .”
T he positive radiance w hich followed
dism ay in his w atery eyes convinced
h er beyond all doubt th a t her brother's
encounter w ith the tall Mr. Shaw w as
n o t quite creditable to B azelburst arms.
She listened w ith pensive indifference
to the oft repeated story of how he
had routed the “insufferable cad," en
couraged by th e support of cham pagne
and the solicited approval of tw o eye
w itnesses. She eouhl not repress the
m ixed feelings of scorn, sham e and
pity, as she surveyed the array of men
w ho so mercilessly flayed the healthy,
fa ir faced young man w ith a gentle
strength.
The house party had been augm ented
during the day by the arrival of a half
a dozen men and women from th e city,
b rain fagged, listless and sm art. T he
big cottage now was full, the com

Penelope laughed aloud as she gazed
upon th e tangle of hoof prints. The
duke looked as surprised as it w as
possible for him to look a fte r the w ear
of th e p ast night.
“H an g it all, Penelope,” he said. "I
did n ’t say anything, don’t you know.”

word, it’s a filthy old house w ith rats
and mice and all th a t—no place for a
ghost, much less a nice little human
being like you. T hey’re all like th a t.”
“I thin k you are a fra id to go,” said
she.
“A fraid of ghosts? P sh aw !” sniffed
the duke, sticking out his chest.
“Yes, Shaw ; th a t’s whom you’re
afraid of.”

critically.
“I ’ll ad m it th a t you’re larger nnd

grudgingly. “B ut they say Mr. Shaw

his monocle nnd guffawed loudly.

pride. H is w orn, dissipated face light
