too far a way to bo IdontlOcd with cer

"A mU oh, doesn't h mak one iorry for
Mm."
cloarer sight It turned and disappeared
into tho shadows of tho orderly grove
where I had stood ono day to watch
Loulso Ilarman ascend the slopes of
Qucsnay.
Hut I told myself sensibly that
more than ono man on tho coast of
Normandy might bo wearing white
flannels that evening and, turning to
my companion, found that sho had
moved some steps away from mo and
was gazing eastward to the sen. I
concluded that she bnd not seen the
figure
The round moon was whlto and at
Jts smallest, high overhead, when ot
midnight I stopped out of tho phncton
iu which Miss Elizabeth sent mo back
! to Mine, lirossard's.
When my lamp was extinguished I
set my door ajar, moved my bed out
from the wall to catch whatever breezo
might stir, "composed myself for tho
night," oh It used to bo written, and
lay looking out upon tho quiet garden,
whoro a thin white hare was rising.
Just as 1 had begun to drowso tho
gallery steps croaked juid tho noblo
form of Keredec emerged upon my
Held of vision. From tho absence of
thn sound of footsteps I supposed him
to bo elthor bnrufooted or In his stock
ings. Ills visible costume consisted of
a Bleeping Jacket tucked Into a pair
of trousers, while his tousled hair and
board and generally tossed nnd rum
pled look wero thoso of a man who
had becu lying down temporarily.
I hoard him slgh-IIke one sighing
for sleep-a s ho wont noiselessly across
the garden nnd out through tho arch
way to tho road. At tbut 1 sat straight
up In bod to stare, and woll I might,
for bore was a miracle! Ho lu.d lifted
his arms above his head to stretch
himself comfortubly. mid ho wulked
upright and nt case, whereas when I
hud last seen him the night before he
had been able to do llttlo moro than
crawl, bent far over ond loaning pain
fully, upon his friend. Never man bo
held a more ustonlsblug recovery from
a bad case of rbouinutlsm.
After ii long look dowu the road he
rvttiut'd his steps, .mil the uiooullgut,
HlrlldiiK ucrOHN his great tore heart an

there by an anxiety of which I guunned

an old door announced that hu had re
turned to his vigil.
I lnul perhapN, a quarter of nn hour
to consider this performance, when It
wan repented: now, however, ho only
glanced out Into tho road, retreating
hantlly, mid I now that he wan smil
ing, while the speed tin maintained In
returning to his ijuarters wuh remark
able for one no nowly convalescent.
The next moment Hnltren enrno
through the nrcliwny, ascended tho

Ian -ami I heard his door closing very
gently, liug before Ills arrival, how
ever, I had been certain of his Identity
with the ilgure mid seen gaxlng up
at the terraces ot Queminy from tho
borders of tho grove. Other iiiestlons
remained to bother mo: Why had Ker
edec not prevented this night roving,
and why, since tie did Hrmlt It. should
he conceal Ills knowledge of It ironi
Oliver? And what, oh, what wontUous

' "Why are you writing silly notes to
that child?" she demanded as soon as
wo were away from tho Inn,
"Was It silly?"
"You should know. Do you think
that style of humor sultablo for a
young girl?"
This bcwlldcrrd me a little. "But
there wasn't anything offensive"
"No?" Miss Ulliabeth lifted her eye
brows to a height of bland inquiry.
"She mightn't think it rather well,
rough? V'our suggestlog that she
should take cooking lessons?"
"But sho suggested she might Uks
painting lessons." was iny feeblo pro
test. "I only meant to show her I un
derstood that she wanted to get to the
Inn."
"And why should she care to 'get to
(.the Inn?"
She seemed interesteti in a young
man who Is Btaylng there. Interested'
Is tho mildest word for It 1 can think

At tho chateau, having a mind to of
fer some sort of apology, 1 looUcd anx
iously about for the subject of our
rather disquieting conversation, but
she was not to be seen until the party,
usscmbled at the tnble, set under an
awning on the terrace.
Mrs. Barman had not appeared at
all. having gone to call upon some one
at Dives, I was told, and, n servant
informing mo, on Inqnlry, that Mlsa
Elliott had retired to her room, 1 was
thrust upon my own devices indeed.
