potato-cakes and strong, well-creamed tea that Biddy used to make, and remembered suddenly ihat it was many hours since he had eaten bis irugal lunch at, a railway junction. He passed through gates that shleked on tnelr ancient hinges ere they clanged behind him. The avenue, fringed with larch and spruce, was weed-grown; here and there rough stones and lumps of gTanlte poked up through its worn surface. Room and plenty, Sarile reflected, for improvements on every side; he saw in the moonlight broken fences and crumbling walls, and could imagine that within the stately pile there would be wanting rather more than the casunl lick of paint and slap of plaster that his uncle had occasionally given to the Interior decoration. ft was good to know that whatever was warted he could do, and do right royally, If he liked. He felt, with a thrill, the sense of power that the possession of money brings with it It was a novel sensation to Savile, but a very pleasant one. A winding path, 60 familiar to him. branched off from the avenue to one end of the house; he made his way along it. brushing by evergreens and a tangle of shrubbery towards that warm square of light. It was the window cf the library, he knew. There were other windows round the corner. looking out over the lake and the mountains that reared their heads to the clouds, while Just a little further on again there was a narrow door leading into an inner hall a door nearly always unbolted. He would go In by that door and surprise Riddy. The blind was undrawn over the lighted window. He glanced in, and saw the room little changed since he last saw it; the same massive old furniture and book-lined walls, the same shabby carpet its added shabbiness mercifully hidden by the shadows cast by dancing flames frou: a noble Are In thb brass-rimmed grate. Rut there were flowers everywhere. He marveiled at that. Was it possible that Ekidy had got wind of his coming and had made festival for him? But no one knew he was coming at all! He would slip in through that little door and surprise her. He stepped into the Inner hall. A faint scent of pot-pourri mingled with th familiar aroma of turf; there was a dim light from & small lamp on a shelf and complete silence. He pushed open a door to the left that led through a small ante-room to the library, and surprised not Riddy Murphy, but the prettiest lrl he bad ever seen I She was standing near the half-open door that leo into the library, taking a pile of papers from a shelf, and as she turned with a violent start at the sound of his step, he sa an exquisite face framed by soft dark hair, - pair cf shadowy grey eyes that stared at him with mint led surprise and dismay. Shw wore a blouse of some white stuff, and a ahort tweed skirt: a dark ribbon was tied round her creamy throat "l beg your pardon," he said, starinr at this astounding vision, "but I thought ! imagined Riddy would be here." "Biddy Murphy? You wanted to see her?' -Yes." "She is oat." "Oh! Then I -nust" "Yv'on't you stay?" she interrupted. "Biddy will be back very soon." "Rot I am Intruding." "Oh, not at all!" There was a curious tremble in the girl's voice. "Please don't go! I am kure she will be back at any moment." A fire burned in the grate la this room, too. Surely Biddy must have known of his coming! Klse. why fires everywhere? The mystery of this lovely girl's presence was on: he could not fathom yet "Then she knew I was coming? he asked. A dimmer of a smite dar &T n.t

in the girl's eyes. It vanished In an instant "Well. I don't know that she knew. I think we totl. fancied you might come." Savilo stared at her. "You both knew? Then you know who I am?" "I can guess; that's all." Taere was such scorn in the soft vo'ce. Sa vile was more and more amazed. Who on earth was the girl? What was she woing in his house? "You are staying here?" he ventured. "Yes. My brother-in-law and sister are with me as welL" More and more amazing! "And" A blast of wind smote the windows and made them rattle. The fire leaped up in shaft of bright flame, and showed him the girl's face. It wore such an odd. anxious expression. "I wonder would ycu reach me down something from a ßhelf I can't get at in here?" she asked abruptly, as she pulled open a door concealed in the wall and papered over, that opened as he remembered well into a deep recess that was used to hold odd books and other miscellaneous articles. A tiny window gave light to it from a passage at the side. "With pleasure!" said Savilc. She stood aside and pointed out a pile of books on a high shelf. He stepped into the cupboard it was little more and instantly the door was slammed upon him. He heard a rusty bolt drawn and a key turned. She had locked him In! He sprang to the door and knocked in vala. He shouted. No answer. He thought he caught a maddening ripple of alughter the scurry of hurried steps and then all was silence. The mystery deepened. But it was all very fine there wasn't much fun in being locked into a small cupboard-like place, with no ventilation save what came from the top of the tiny window, which was open. There was a smell of must and mice an odious combination. And within a few yards of hira was a Jolly fire of logs and tnrf and not far away there surely might be found hot tea, and possibly potato cakes! He was hungry and bewildered. But not one of these mingled emotions Finally, he was angry, helped him In his ridiculous predicament No one answered his shouts, his loud knockIngs on the locked door. What on earth had the divinity tauen him for? A burglar? A German spy? It was like a scene from a melodrama, only now the curtain had rung down, and showed no signs of being raised again. He wondered wbat the next act would be. It came with a suddfL rush of feet on Oie other side of the locked door. The door was fairly thia, so that excited voices' speaking in the ante-room reached him distinctly. He could hear two feminine ones and ose male. Of the former, cne was certainly that of the mysterious girl. "I've got him!" (That was her voice.) "Got who?" asked aricther voice, regardless cf grammar. "The burglar l" "Where?" "It; there!" Savile could Imagine the gesture. He could see the eager eyes two if rot three pairs' of them turned on the door of his prison. "How on earth did you do It? Did he break in? Why did you let Riddy go out? There must have been an unlocked door somewhere.' "The side uoor nas no lock, and 1 forgto o draw the bolt He simply walked la r- bold as brass." "Well? What happened?" "He seemed quite at home here. Ho must have known haut the silver and the ir'J-

tures. He was evidently after those. He talked he asked where Riddy was. I must say he was very polite what one would call a gentleman burglar, I mippose." "Wei, the police told us he was a Svipcrior sor". of person, you remember. Go cn. Nancy what then?" There was a laugh a delicious sound. "I locked him in!" "Yes, but how?'" You're a little marvel. Did you push him?" "Oh, no! I set a trap. He walked into it That was alL It was quite easy. I asked him to reach me down a pile of dusty books from that high shelf. In he walked, I slammed the door, and he is there now. He knocked and shouted, but there was no one to do anything, of course. Now that you and Jack are here well, I expect Jack can tackle him." "You are sure it is the burglar, Nancy? Supposing you've locked up the wrong man?" "Does anyone but a would-be burglar walk unasked and unannounced Into . house, steal into a room, and then behave as if the place belonged to him?" That was her voice again. What scorn ia its sweet tone! "Well, that was pretty much what he did at Annamore a few days ago. according to the police sergeants account Jove! Nancy, if you really have collared the right man you'll be the heroine of the countryside. I think I must have a look at the beggar before we send Andy speeding to the barrack for the police. Here goes! You needn't look sc scared. Aggie I fancy Tm a match for most burglars. I wasn't middleweight champion cf my day for nothing. Stand ra.ck. Nancy!" Nice hearing for Savile, this. He was to be tackled by an ex-middleweight champion! The door was flung open. For an Instant Savile stood dazzled by the flood of light from the blazing fire and a newly-lighted lamp that poured into his dark retreat. The next moment he fourd himself seized and dexterously whirled out by a skilful hand that held him by the collar. "Now, then, my man, It's all up. No use to Great Scotland Yard, it's Savile! Or his ghost!" "Oh, I'm not a ghost!" said Sarile, with a wry smile, pullin? down his coat. "You haven't changed much, Homerton nor has your right hand lost its cunning. Rat where have you sprung from?" "Where have you sprung from is more to the point? Hy the way, I suppose we owe you an apology, old man. I we took you for a burglar who's lately been patrolling these parts. A gentlemanly person, hence the mistake. I fear that excess of zeal prompted my sister-in-law (let me present you to her Mr. Savile, Nancy not the burglar Miss Anne Lawler) to jump to the conclusion that you must be tie gentleman wanted by the police. It's rather your own fault, after all, fcr if you will walk Into a house by a side door" "In my own hcuse? Jove! The plot thickens. Look here sit down, my dear chap. Let me introduce you to my wife, and we'll get to the bottom of this amazing state of affairs." The eyes of Miss Anne Lawler dropped as Savile looked at her. There was a charming color in her face, and a perceptible tremor la her adorable voice a che said: "I don't know what to say to apologize. Mr. Saville, but re-ally" She looked up, and they Uughed in concert "It was my own fault, as Somerton has said." submitted Savile, with a twinkle of mirth In his eyes, "for I did walk in, unasked, and how were you to know tht-t the house was mine? L. at any rate, regret nothing. There was a significance la his tone that might have made- the color deepen in Miss Lawler' sott cheeks.

"As a matter of fact" said Som?rten cheerfully, "I suppose you're wonderir.g what the mischief we are doing In your house, eh?" "Well, the thought did occur to me," said Savilc. "It's thia way, you see. I came into some valuable china, silver, and so on from an old uncle who lived about five miles from here. You may have heard of him Saunderson, an eccentric old chap who never put foot out of doors? Well, the place passed to another cousin who's a pretty awful beggar, and I didn't feel like eating his bivad and salt, so I looked about for a place ir. which to stow myself for a month. The hotel was well, the wife couldn't stick It, ncr could I. So we thought we'd camp out In some place near by lor tho time being our own place cn the other side is let during the war. and I'm off to do munition work shortly in the North and, coming across old Hanbury one day, he offered us this place furnished for two months, rerr knowing. I suppose, that its oner was coming home so soon." "Just so, I came home quite unexpectedly. I intended to look him up to-morrow, but 1 couldn't resist the temptation to corno along here and peep at old haunts first. And 1 am -very glad I yielded to the temptation." Again his eyes sought tbose of Miss Lawler. "Well, our time is up to-morrow," said Scmerton. "and fo everything just fits in." "Rut why not stay on There is plenty of room, and I shall be horribly alone In this big place !" "We'd love to stay," said Mrs. .Soracrion frankly, "for we've al1 fallen in love witii the place, haven't we, Nancy " Nancy codded. The swift thought ntshed through Savile mind that he vculd ruber she had fallen la love with the owner Uiar. the place. The truth of the adage that everything comes to him who knows how to wait was borne In upon Sarile a fortnight latr. Boyna looked more mysteriously lovely than 've- with lt lines of dark, brooding firs, and tho distant frowning mountains shutting it away from the busy ortside world. For during that fortnight much had happened. Savile had been confirmee in his first opinion that in Anne Lawler he had founa the woman of his dream; that It ras because she was la It that Boyna seemed the most ideal home any man could wish for; that. In short, if he did not win her, life would lo6e all its savor and sweeties. Perhapc the Comertoa?, The looked, on, saw what was happening, for the other two were left much together, snc Saville. In all his plana for the future welfare and improvement of "3oyna. found Nancy's suggestions extraordinarily helpful and practical. And Nancy chose the colorings. "How charming it will all look!" she ald cne evening. "It is ju my ideal cf what a country homo ought to be." "Rut it wants one thlsg. Nancy." She started and colored a little. He ha3 cever used her Christian name before. "Can't you guess what it is?" he persisted. She shook her head gaily. "Some other Improvement?" "Yes. And one I cannot will not io without Nancy, I wtnt you. It won't be home to me unless you are in it. I believe I knew it that day when I walked in ar J you tnrnej and looked at me. Nancy, darling, I love you so much, won't you stay and make mj home for me? Won't ycu. Her answer was rtiSed by a thick tweed coat against which her happy face was hidden, but he knew what it was. Lovo taught him tht "And. after all. you were a burgiar." he toll him presently, "because 1 believe it wa that vatv dav vo'i rnhhed me rf my heart"
