But ha htia aeen a photograph In the man' pocket, the lace of which haa a atrange, haunting beauty. Chapter Three ENTER FRANKIE "QORnV. Dad." Bobby broke In. speaking cheerfully and breezi ly aa waa hla habit no matter what the subject, "Not my fault thla time. I waa keeping guard over a corpse." "You were what?" "Keeping guard over a blighter who stepped over the cliff. You know the place where the chasm is. by the seventeenth tee. There waa a bit of mist Just then, and he must have gone straight on and over." "Good heavens," cried the Vicar. "What a tragedy! Was the man killed outright?" "No. lie was unconscious. Mo died just after Dr. Thomaa had gone off. But of course 1 felt I bad to aquat there- couldn't just push off and lobby fell In on Hanoi and knees. leave blm. And then another fellow came along, so 1 passed the job of chief mourner on to him and legged It here as fast aa I could." The Vicar sighed. "Oh, my dear Bobbyl" he said. "Will nothing shake your deplorable callousness? It grieves me more than I can say. Here you have been brought face to face with death with sudden death. And you can Joke about Itl It leaves you unmoved. Everything everything, however olemn. however sacred. Is merely a joke to your generutlon." Bobby shuffled bla feet. If his father couldn't see that of course you Joked about a thing he cause you bad felt badly about It well, he couldn't see Itl It wasn't the enrt of thing you could explain. With death and tragedy about, you bad to keep a stiff upper Up. But what could you expect? No body over fifty understood anything at all. They bad the most extraor dinary Ideas. "I expect It waa the War," thought Bobby loyally. "It upset them and they never got straight again." "Sorry. Dad," h said with a clear yed realisation that explanation waa Impossible. - The Vicar felt aorry for his son he looked abashed; but he also felt ashamed of him. The hoy bad no conception of the seriousness ot life. Even his apology was cheery and Impenitent. They movod towards the Vicar age. each making enormous efforts to nnd excuses for the other. The Vicar thought, "I wonder when Bobby will find something to do. . . ." Bobby thought, "Wonder how much longer I can stick It down hero. ..." Yet they wore both extremely fond ot each other. BOBBY did not see the Immediate sequel of his advonture. On tho following morning he went up to town, there to meet a friend who waa thinking ot starting a garage nd who fancied that Buhby'a co opemtlon might be valuable. After settling thinss to every body's satisfaction, llobhy caught the 11:30 train home two days later. He caught It, true, but only by a very narrow margin. He arrived at Padilliiglon when the clock announced the time to be U. S.

Wrenching open the door, he fell in on hands and knees, picked him self up, the door was shut with a slam by an agile porter, aod Bobby found himself looking at the sole other occupant of the compartment. It was a first-class carriage and tn the corner facing the engine sat a dark girl smoking a clgaret. She bad on a red skirt, a short green jacket and a brilliant blue bdret, and de spite a certain resemblance to an organ-grinder's monkey (sho bad long, sorrowful, dark eyes and a puckered up face) she waa distinct ly attractive. In the midst of an apology, Bobby broke off. "Why. It's you, Frankle!" he said. "I haven't seen you for ages." "Well, t haven't seen you. Sit down and talk." Bobby grinned. "My ticket's the wrong color." "That doesn't matter," said Frankle kindly. "I'll pay the differ enco for you." ".My manly Indlguallon rises ai the thought," aald Bobby.

"1 will pay the difference myself," said Bobby berblcnlly as a burly figure In blue appeared at the door from the corridor. "Leave it to me," said Frankle. SHE smiled graciously at the ticket-collector, who touched his bat aa he took the piece of white cardboard from ber and punched It. "Mr. Jonea bas Just come tn to talk to me for a bit," she said. "That won't matter-, will It?" "That's all right, your ladyship. The gontleman won't be staying long, I expect." He coughed tact fully. "I shan't be round again till after Bristol, he added signifi cantly. "What cnu be done with a smile!" said Bobby as the official withdrew. Lady Frances Derwent shook her head thoughtfully. "I'm not so sure it's the smile," sbe said. "1 rather think It's Father's habit of tipping everybody five shil lings whenever he (ravels that does It." "1 thought you'd given up Wales for good, Kraukio." Frances sighed. "My dear, you know what It Is. You know how mouldy parenta can be. What with that, and the bathrooms In the atate they are, and nothing to do and no body to sec and people simply won't coma to the country to stsy nowadays! They say they're econo mising and they can't go so far. Well, mean, what s a girl to do? Bobby shook his head, sadly recog nising the problem. "However." went on Frankle. "af ter the party 1 went to last night, J thought even home couldn't be worse." What was wrong wllh the party?" "Nothing at all. It ties Just like any olhor parly only mora so.
