CHAPTER SEVENTEEN •Somebody moving in?" asked Yves Blaydes-Steele, leaning on the cemetery wall. Bert, looked up, and Mid, “Yea, air. 'E's in the houM." Yves was interested. Vine Cottage was one of the few houses in Weyland which did not belong to his brother. It was the property of a lady who lived much abroad. A tall, neat-looking fellow appeared in the doorway of the little house, looked at the ruined gatepost. “Hell's bells!” he exclaimed. “You'd better leave the van where it is. 11l give you a hand with the stuff. Devil take it!" he went on. ! “I’d better get that seen to right I away or Mrs. Saltbridge will feel ' she's got a bad tenant." •If you don’t mind my intru- | cion,” called Yves, taking his pipe from hie mouth, “you could get one. of the Whistlecrafta to fix that for you in no time." The new tenant of Vine Cottage looked up. “Thanks,” he Mid. “Are you one of the locals?" “More or leu,” nodded Yves. •Well, thanks anyway." replied the other and then added, “My name’s Horton." “How do?” Mid Yves. “Mine’s Blaydes-Steele." Horton stared at him with undisCised interest “Oh, you're the rd of the Manor or something I here, aren’t you?" “Not me," replied Yvee, shaking his head. “I'm the infant brother. Going to be here long?" The other hesitated. "It rather depends on circumstances,” he Mid. “The fact of the matter Is," he went | on. easting a somewhat doubtful glance at Yves, “the fact of the . matter io I'm ... well, I’m writing a book. That's why I've come down here." •I mast tell Angola you're hero—she's my sister-in-law, you know,” Mid Yves, “and she ean welcome you formally to our neighborhood." “Thanks," said Horton. “Delighted, I’m sure." “None of my business and all that," suggested Yvos lasily, “but are you fixed up for staff? If not, I expect wo can produce something from the village for you." •Tea, thanks,” replied Horton rather abruptly. “I’ve got a couple of men moving in. Can't stand women about the place.” With which he bade Yves a very good evening and entered the house. He waited so» a few momenta until he mw Blaydes-Steele disappearing up the cemetery path, and then no came back to the front door. “All right,” he called. “Let’s got going!” It was dark by the time the furniture had been moved into the houm and Horton mw the van move off down the lane. He remembered the ease of whisky which was waiting In the kitchen at the back of the bouse. It was with a feeling of pleasurable anticipation that he pushed open the door from the passage and stepped down to the brick floor. He stood rooted to the spot. An unshaded electric bulb east a harsh light over the untidy kitchen with its piled packing cases, its litter of new cooking utensils, its boxes of groceries and vegetables, but it was at none of these things that ho was looking. Sitting on one corner of the enamel-topped table, and swinging a slim leg, was a gfrL Horton frowned and Mid, “Did you want to see me?” The girl’s eyes searched Ms faee ,a«riy. -Do I look so awful, Philip,'’ oho asked, “that you don't even know me?” His month eame slowly open as he stared incredulously at her.....

OKII mander of the Hawaiian departi ment land and air forces, replaced , by Lieut.-Gen. Delos C. Emmons of the air corps who visited Great , Britain last summer and upon his , 1 return took a hand in the reorgan , Hatton of the U. 8 air defenaes on the basis of hie study of Nasi air methods, Including establishment of Interceptor commanders. Maj -Gen. Frederick L. Martin, commander of the army air corps at Hawaii, replaced by Rrlg-Gen C. L. Tinker of the air corps, a veteran of service In the Philippines who was promoted to brigadier general (temporary) last year. The selection of Emmons as commander of the Hawaiian department was regarded an of Important nlgnlflcam e in view of the vast and destructive role played by air forces—even against battleships—in the battle of the Pacific. Military men aaid that two hardfisted flying fighters will have the defense of Hawaii In their hands In the combination of the 53-year-old Emmons and Tinker.

i “What on earth are you doing here?” he asked roughly. She made a weary gesture and frowned down at her bag as she extracted a cigarette ease from it “Don't worry," she Mid. “No one can see into this kitchen and I came in the back way. I've been in Weyland for some time, you know,” she said, the bitterness in her voice plain for him to hear. He shrugged. “I still think it is risky for you to eome here.” “You don't make me very welcome," she said, her eyes on his face. “Perhaps if it had been Anne, you might have been a little more effusive.” At the mention of Countem de Vassignac's name, a mask seemed to drop over his features and the girl went on, “So you're still infatuated!” “I find this converMtion extreme- . ly distasteful,” he replied coldly. The little laugh she gave held no humour in it. “Why, my poor Philip," she said, her voice more gentle, “can't you see through her? Don't you realise she’ll just use you as she has used so many others? When she’s got wbat she wants from you, you’ll be through." He made no reply and she continued, her voice growing in vehemence. “Through, I tell you! Finished! Like that wretched little Billy Harding who shot himself.... Oh, Philip, Philip, how can you bo so bhndf Why, you don't stand a chance of making the grade with her!" Something in his expression halted her speech ... some little flicker at the back of his eyes brought her up short... her hand going to her shaking iipe. He did not speak but she guessed. “Philip!" she gasped. “Have you .. .?” She caught him by the arm, her Angers digging into hie flesh. Her eyes searched his frantically. “Be quiet!" he rasped. "You’re making an exhibition of yourself I" She laughed hysterically. “An exhibition of myself? That’s rich, Philip!" she retorted. “It doesn't matter about me any more. I’ve ' served my purpose and I ean get out 1 of your life now." The girl collapsed against the kitchen table, bursting into a storm ' of tears. Horton, frowning, crossed ' the room and stooped over the case ' of whisky. There came the opening of a cupboard door, the clink of ■ glass, and a moment or so later he was baek at her side. “Here,” he said, “drink this and pull yourself together.” * Awkwardly ho laid a hand on her . shoulder and gave it a little squeese 1 and a shake. This unlooked-for friendly gesture had the effect of in- ’ creasing the girl’s sobbing. With a helploM shrug, be put the glam down at her side and moved across to the window to stare moodily out [ into the garden. I Presently ho heard the elick of the glam held in an unsteady hand against her teeth, and soon after a ’ husky voice said, "I’m sorry, Philip. 1 I'm terribly sorry, Pip, but...” “That’s all right,” ho said awkk wardly. “Only ... I’m sorry if I 1 appeared ... I moan ... well, eea- ' found itt" he went on desperately. • "I didn’t expect to see you, and what 1 with the surprise and one thing and 1 another.. .
