Thoit was a certain evenittv.vi of tho chill with which they visits A nu- as though a particular degree of frigidity had been agreed on in ad-aiu-o 1 shm:od my shoulders and turned toward Ulonarm. My grandfather had t-ft mo a cheerful legacy of distrust anions my neighbors, the result, probably, of importing foreign labor to work on his house. The surly Morgan had intimated as much; ?ut it did not greatly matter. I had not come to Clenarm to cultivate the rustics, but to fulfill certain obligations laid down In my grandfather's will. I was, so to speak, on duty, and I much preferred that the villagers should let me alone. Comforting myself with these reflections I reached the wharf, where I saw Morgan sitting with his feet dangling over the water, smoking a pipe. I nodded in hi direction, but he feigned not to see me. A moment later he jumped into his boat and rowed out upon the lake. When I returned to the house Bates was at work in the kitchen. This was a large square room with heavy timbers showing in the walls and low ceiling. There was a great fireplace in an enormous chimney, fitted with a crane and hobs, but for practical pur poses a small range was provided. Bates received me placidly. "Yes; it's an unusual room, sir. Mr. Glenarm copied it from an old kitchen In England. He took quite a pride in it. It'B a pleasant place to sit in the evening, sir." He showed me the way below, where I found that the cellar extended under every part of the house, and was di vided into large chambers. The dbor of one of them was of heavy oak. bound in iron, with a barred openin; at me top. a great iron nasp witn a heavy padlock and grilled area win dows gave further the impression of a cell, and I fear that at this, as at many other things in the curious house, I swore If I did not laugh thinking of the money my grandfather had expended in realizing his whims The room was used, I noted with pleasure, as a depository for potatoes. In another of these rooms I found a curious collection of lanterns of every conceivable description, grouped on shelves; and next door to this apart ment was another store-room filled with brass candle-sticks of many odd designs. I returned to the main floor and sought the comforts of the library, wnere i smoKea a pipe over a very tedious chapter in an exceedingly dull book on "Norman Revivals and Influences." Then I went out, assuring myself that I should get steadily to work in a day or two Bates was soberly chopping wood at a rough pile of timber at the rear of the house. His industry had already impressed me. He had the quiet way3 of an ideal serving man "Well, Bates, you don't intend to let me freeze to death, do you? There must be enough wood in the pile there to last all winter." "Yes, sir; I am just cutting a little more of the hickory, sir. Mr. Glenarm always preferred it to beech or maple.' I turned toward the unfinished tower In the meadow, from which a windmill pumped water to the house. The iron frame was not wholly covered with stone, but material for the remainder of the work lay scattered at the base. I went on through the wood to the lake and inspected the boat house; then I followed the pebbly shore to the stone wall where it marked the line of the school-grounds. The wall, I observed, was of the same solid character here as along the road. I tramped beside it, reflecting that my grandfather's estate, in the heart of the Republic, would some day give the lie to foreign complaints that we have no ruins in America. The buildings of St. Agatha's were well hidden by the intervening wood, and I climbed upon the wall at the iron gate for an ampler view. The pillars at either side of the gate were of huE3 dimensions and were higher than I could reach. The little Gothic church near at hand was built of stone efmilar to that used in Glenarm house. As I surveyed the scene a number of young women appeared, and, forming in twos and fours, walked back and forth before the chapel. A sister clad in a brown habit lingered near or walked first with one and then another group of students. It was all very pretty and interesting and not at all the ugly school for paupers I had expected to find. The students were not the charity children I had j carelessly pictured; they were not so; young, for one thing, and they seemed to be appareled decently enough. I smiled to find myself adjusting my scarf and straightening my collar as I befceld my neighbors for the first time. As I sat thus on the wall I heard the sound of angry voices back of me on the Glenarm side, and a crash cf underbrush marked a flight and pursuit. I crouched down on the wall and waited. In a moment a man plunged through the wood and stumbled over a low hanging vine and fell, not 20 feet away from me. To my great surprise Jit wag Morgan, my acQuaiztance.othi

It wa3 Bates, evidently much excited and with an ugly cut across his forehead. He carried a heavy club, and, after listening for a moment for sounds of the enemy, he hurried after the caretaker. It was not my row, though I must say it wakened my curiosity. I straightened myself out, threw my legs over the school side of the wall and lighted a cigar, feeling cheered by the opportunity the stone barricade offered for observing the world. As I looked eff toward the little church I found two other actors appearing on the scene. A girl stood in a littlo opening of the wood, talking to a man. Her hands were thrust into the pockets of her covert coat; 6he wore a red tam-o'-shanter, that made a bright bit of color in the wood. They were not more than a dozen yards away, but a wild growth of young maples lay between us. Their profiles were toward me, and the tones of the girl's voice reached me clearly as she addressed her companion. Ila wore a clergyman's high waistcoat, and I as sumed that he was the chaplain whom Bates had mentioned. I am not by nature an eavesdropper, but the girl was clearly making a plea of some kind, and the chaplain's stalwart figure awake in me an antagonism that held me to the wall. "If he comes here I shall go away, so you may as well understand it and tell him. I shan't see him under any circumstances, and I'm not going to Florida or California or anywhere else on a private car, no matter who chaperones it." "Certainly not, unless you want to certainly not," said the chaplain. "You understand that I'm only giving you his message. He thought it best" "Not to write to me or to Sister Theresa!" broke In the girl contemptuously. "What a clever person he is!" "And how unci ever I am!" said the clergyman, laughing. "Well, at any rate, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to present his message." She smiled, nodded and turned swiftly toward the school. The chaplain looked after her for a few moments, then walked soberly away toward the lake. He was a young fellow, cleanshaven and dark, and with a pair of shoulders that gave me a twinge of envy. I could not guess how great a factor that vigorous figure was to be in my own affairs. As I swung down from the wall and walked toward Glenarm House, my thoughts were not with the athletic chaplain, but with the girl, whose youth was, I reflected, marked by her short skirt, the uncon cern with which her hands were thrust into the pockets of her coat, and the irresponsible tilt of the tam-o'-shanter There is something jaunty, a sugges tlon of spirit and independence, in a tam-o'-shanter, particularly a red one. If the red tam-o'-shanter expressed, so to speak, the key-note of St. Agatha's, the proximity of the school was not so bad a thing after all. in a nign gooa-numor ana with a sharp appetite I went in to luncheon. CHAPTER VI. The Girl and the Canoe. Bates did not refer to his encounter with the caretaker, and I resolved to keep my knowledge of it to myself. always prefer to let a rascal hang him self, and here was a case, I reasoned, where, If Bates was disloyal to the duties Pickering had imposed upon tIm- the fact of Ms Perfidy was bound i to disclose itself eventually. Glancing around at him when he was off guard I surprised a look of utter dejection upon his face as he stood with folded arms behind my chair. He flushed and started, then put hi3 hand to his forehead, where a strip of plaster covered his wound. "I met with a slight accident this ' morning, Mr. Glenarm. The hickory's j very tough, sir. A piece of wood flew up and struck me." "Too bad!" I said with sympathy "You'd better rest a .bit this after noon." "Thank you, sir; but It's only small matter, only, you might think the cut a trifle disfiguring." He struck a match for my cigarette and I left without looking at him again. But as I crossed the threshold of the library I formulated this note "Bates is a liar, for one thing, and person with active enemies for an other; watch him." All things considered the day was passing well enough. I picked up a book, threw myself on a comfortable divan to smoke and reflect before continuing my explorations. As I lay there, Bates brought me a telegram, a reply to my message to Pickering. It read: "Yours announcing arrival received and filed." It was certainly a queer business, my errand to Glenarm. I lay for a couple of hours dreaming, and counted the candles in the great crystal chandelier until my eyes ached. Then I took my cap and was soon tramping toward the lake. There were several small boats and a naphtha launch in the boat-house. I dropped a canoe into the water and paddled off toward the summer colony, whese gables and red roofs were plaialyviible Jrorn the boat-h&use,

I landed and roamed Idly over leafstrewn walks past nearly a hundred cottages, to whose windows and verandas the winter blinds gave a dreary and inhospitable air. There was, at one point, a casino, whose broad veranda hung over the edge of the lake, while beneath, on the waterside, was a boat-house. I walked back to the wharf, where I had left my canoe, and was about to step into it when I saw, rocking at a similar landing place near-by, another slight craft of the same type as my own, but painted dark maroon. I was sure the canoe had not been there when I landed. Possibly it belonged to Morgan, the caretaker! I walked over and examined it. I even lifted it slightly to test its weight. The paddle lay on the dock beside me and it, too, I weighed critically, deciding that it was a trifle light for my own taste. "Please if you don't mind " I turned to stand face to face with the girl in the red tam-o'-snanter.

Turned to Stand Face to Face With tho Girl of the Red Tom-O'-Shanter. "I beg your pardon," I said, stepping away from the canoe. She did not wear the covert coat of the morning, but a red knit jacket, but toned tight about her. She was young with every emphasis of youth. A pair of dark blue eyes examined me with good-humored curiosity. She was on good terms with the sun I rejoiced in the brown of her cheeks, so eloquent of companionship with the outdoor world a certificate indeed of the favor of Heaven. Show me, in October, a girl with a face of tan, whose hands have piled a paddle or driven a golfball or cast a fly beneath the blue arches of summer, and J will suffer her scorn in joy. She may vote me dull and refute my wisest word with aughter, for hers are the privileges of the sisterhood of Diana; and that soft bronze, those daring fugitive freckles beneath her eyes, link her to times when Pan whistled upon his reed and all the days were long. Her rubber-soled outing shoes had made possible her silent approach, and she enjoyed, I was sure, my discom fiture at being taken unawares. I had snatched off my cap and stood waiting beside the canoe, feeling, I must admit, a trifle guilty at being caught in the unwarrantable inspection of another person's property particu (To be Continued).
