Mazaroff had coma by bis un-English name, be himself was a Scotsman: there was no mistaking his accent. “I hope you’re feeling quite well again a fte r your wounds?" he asked. “Q uite fit, thank you,“ I answered. “F it fo r light work, anyway." “Aye, well,“ be said, nodding, "as 1 said In my letter, I think you and I ’ll get on very pleasantly. I f you care to come w ith an old fellow like ma.“ “I shall be pleased to go w ith you," I answered. “1 hope I shall be able to do all you want. You think I shall?“ “It's tittle I want but company," ha replied. “I ’m s lone man—neither kith, kin, nor friends.

H a rk e r and I were old schoolfellows; we entered the arm y together as subalterns; wo were In the same battalion throughout the great w a r; we were wounded on the same day, and in the same scrap—a fortn igh t before the arm istice; we w ere sent to the same home hospital and were eventually discharged from It a t the same time, each unfit fo r any fu rth e r m ilitary service, but for tunately In possession o f oar fu ll com plem ent of limbs. H a rk e r walked Into my rooms one morning while I was still at breakfast, and flung down a copy o f the Times, Indicating a blue- penciled advertisement in the "Per sonal" column. “T h a t’s your Job, Mervyn," he said In his usual direct fashion. “Get busy I” I took up the paper and read the advertisement before making any re m ark. “T h e advertiser, who has recently returned to England a fte r a prolonged absence, and Is desirous of making an extensive tour through the north ern shires. In his private automobile, desires the company of s bright, so ciable, well-educated, and well-in formed young gentleman, preferably an ex-officer, Invalided out o f the service. Applications, w ith full and precise details and references,- to be addressed Box M. 6843, the Times, K .G 4" I think It was more out o f curi osity than anything that I replied to th a t advertisement, setting forth my qualifications and detailing my refer ences. Yet I never expected any re p ly ; 1 knew well enough that there w ere hundreds of men whose qualifi cations and references would be Just as food as my own—why should I be singled out? It was therefore w ith a good deal o f surprise that, about a fortnight later, 1 received and read th e following le tte r: “Hotel C edi, “8th September, 1918. “M y Dear Sir, I am much obliged to you for your letter o t the 23rd Au gust.

There, a fte r consulting his map, he gave Ms chauffeur orders to cut across country, north by west, making by way o f Hexham and W ark fo r the wild lands beyond, and for a particular place marked on the chart aa the Woodcock Inn on Marrasdale moor. When, rounding a heather-dad bluff that sloped sharply down to our track, we came In sight of the Woodcock Inn, I was amazed to think that a hostelry should bo found In such a desert I t stood, a gaunt gray mass of stODe, on tbe edge o f a great moor ringed about by high hills— as veritable a solitude as one could set eyes on.

Holt, I ’ve no arlsh to remember people, nor— more particularly— to bo remembered by anybody. I don't want It to ba known that I ’m other than a complete stran ger to the place.” I was wondering why bo should be so mysterious about this, when we drew up at tbe door of tbe Inn. There wns a plain board algn over the wide, open door, undecorated save for a faded painting o f a woodcock flying across a moorland scene. Be neath It.
