CHAPTER FOURTEEN .c ASTONISHED by Rosalecn's In-' * tcrest, Rowley began to talk to her ‘ about the farm. Her Interest sur-, • prised him. but it was obviously 1 genuine and not put on. and to his I surprise he found that she was • quite knowledgeable on farm mat- 1 J ter* Butter-making and dairy a produce she spoke ot with famillarity. "Why, you might be a farmer's 1 wife. Rosaleen." he said smiling. * The animation went out of her j I face. | She said: "We had a farm -in Ireland— ' before I came over here before —" 1 "Before you went on the stage?” ‘ She said wistfully and a trifle, ’ it seemed to him, guiltily: •'lt s not so very long ago • • • . 1 remember it all very well." She added with a flash of spirit. "I could milk your cows for you, Rowley, now.” This was quite a new Rosaleen Would David Hunter have approved these casual references to . a farming past? Rowley thought not. Old Irish landed gentry, that was the impression David tried to put over. Rosaleen s version, he thought, was nearer the truth Primitive farm life, then the lure of the stage, the touring company to South Africa, marriage isolation in Central Africa escape hiatus and finally marriage to a millionaire in N*w York. . . . Yes, Rossd'-en Hunter had travelled a long way sir.ee milking a Kerry cow. Yet looking at her, he found it hard to believe that she had ever started. Her face had that innocent, slightly halfwitted expression, the face of one who has no history. And she looked so young much younger than her twenty-six years. There was something appealing about her. she had the same pathetic quality as the little calves he had driven to the butcher that morning. He looked at her as he had looked at them. Poor little devils, he had thought, a pity that they had to be killed . . . A look of alarm came into Rosalecn's eye* She asked uneasily: • What are you thinking of. Rowley?" "Would you like to sue over the farm and the dairy?" "Oh indeed I would." Amused by her interest, he took her all over th* farm. But when he Anally suggested making her a cup ot tea. an alarmed expression came into her eye* "Oh no thank you. Rowley— Td best be getting home.” Bhe looked down at her watch. “Oh! how late it is! David will be back by the 5:20 train. He'll wonder where I am. I—l must hurry.” She added shyly: 1 have enjoyed myself, ' Rowley." And that. he thought, was true She had enjoyed herself. She had been able to be natural to be her ■ own raw unsophisticated self. She i was afraid of her brother David. that was clear David was th* trains at the faraJy. Well. Car

once, she'd had an afternoon out —yes, that was it, an afternoon ’ out just like a servant! The rich Mrs. Gordon Cloade! I He smiled grimly as he stood by the gate watching her hurrying t up the hili towards Furrowbank t Just before she reached the stile I a man came over it —Rowley wondered if it was David but it was a bigger, heavier man. Rosaleen i drew back to let him pass, then I skipped lightly over the stile, her pair accentuating almost to a run Yes, she'd had an afternoon off < — and he, Rowley, had wasted over i an hour of valuable time! Well, perhaps it hadn't been wasted. I Rosaleen. he thought, had seemed to like him. That might come in useful. A pretty thing yes. and the calves this morning had been pretty . . . poor little devils. Standing there, lost tn thought, he was startled by a voice, and rained his head sharply. A big man in a broad felt hat with a pack slung acrois his shoulders was standing on the footpath at the other side of th* gate. •Is thia the way to Warmslcy Vale?” As Rowley stared he repeated his question. With an effort Rowley recalled his thoughts and answered : •'Yes, keep right along the path across that next field Turn to the left when you get to the road and about three minutes takes you right into the village.” In the self same words he had answered that particular qucMion several hundred times. People took | the footpath on leaving the station. followed it up over the hill, and lost faith tn it as they came down the other side and saw no sign of their destination, for Blackwell Copse masked Warmsley Vale from sight It was tucked away in a hollow there with only the tip of its church tower showing. The next question was not quite so usual, but Rowley answered it without much thought. •The Stag or the Belta and Motley. The Stag for choice. They’re both equally good or bad. 1 should think you'd got a room all right" The question made him look more attentively at his interlocui tor. Nowadays _>eople usually booked a room beforehand at any place thef were going to. . .. t The man was tall, with a i bronzed fare. a beard, and very r blue eye* He was about forty and - not in-looking tn a tough and rather daredevil style. It was not I perhap* a wholly pleasant face. I Come from overseas somewhere, i thought Rowley. Was there or was ? there not a faint Colonial twang I in his accent? Curious, in some 1 wsy. the face was not unfamiliar Where had he seen that face, or a face very like it, before? Whilst he was puxxling unsuci ceasfully over that probkn., the r stranger startled him by asking e "Can you tell me if there's a 1. house called Furrow bank near e beta?” r* Rowley answered slowly; - f

"Why, yes. Up there on the hilt You must have passed close by it — that is, if you’ve come along the footpath from the station.” "Yes—that's what 1 did.” He j turned, staring up the hilL "So that was it that big white new- ! looking house." •‘Yes. that's the one." •‘A big place to run.” said the man. "Must cost a lot to keep up?” A devil of a lot, thought Rowley. And our money. ... A stirring of anger made him forget for the moment where he was. . . . With a start he came back to himrelf to see the stranger staring up the hill with a curious speculative look in his eyes. "Who lives there?" he said. “Is it—a Mrs. Cloade?” •That's right," said Rowley "Mrs. Gordon Cloade." The stranger raised his eyebrows. He seemed gently amused "Oh," he said, "Mrs. Gordon Cloade. Very nice for her!" Then he gave a short nod. "Thanks, pal." he said, and shifting the pack he carried he strode on towards Warmsley Vale. Rowley turned slowly back Into j the farmyard. His mind was still puzzling over something. Where the devil had he seen that fellow before? • • • About nine-thirty that night. Rowley pushed aside a heap of forms that had been littering the kitchen table and got up. He ■ looked absentmindedly at the pho- | tograph of Lynn that stood on the mantelpiece, then frowning, he went out of the house. Ten minutes later he pushed open the door of the Stag Saloon Bar. Beatrice Lippincott, behind the bar counter, smiled welcome at him. Mr. Rowley Cloade. she thought, was a fine figure of a man. Over a pint ot bitter Rowley exchanged the usual observations with the company present, unfavorable comment was made upon the Government, the weather. and sundry particular crop* Presently, moving up a little.
