SYNOPSIS Michael sorde, 4¢ unmarried, born and bred In a Binninghuin slum, is now a wealthy motor manufacturer. One day he visits the countryside around his old home and rescues Daphne Eden from a menacing tramp, He falls fio love and proposes. Daphne accepts and introduces him to her father, who greets hlin with the words "Get out of here you cur -- you ruined my home -- stole my wife -- curse you!" Daphne's father dles and she disap pears. Michael explains to her friend. Mrs. Gregory. that he was misrepre sented. He buys the old 'I'udor House owned by the Hamill-llardy's. Mrs. Gregory promises to mall a letter from him to Daphne arranging a meeting Daphne does nol appear, On the way home Michael collides with a car driven by Diana Hamlill-Hardy. n-- Daphne was holding her hands tightly, but she gave no other sign that the news had broken her com- posure, First her father, and .now Lorna Gregory, the only friend she had in the world, All at once remem. spray of blossoming hawthorne came back, and Mrs, Mea- dow's distress, "put it outside. You'll bring death } into the house," she had cried fran- tically. Now news of death reached: her, "Oh, Denis," she sald, in a low volce, 'this is dreadful, Thank you tor coming, though, You are right, 1 should have worried, indeed 1 have worried, over not getting any reply to my last letter. 1 thought" she turned away and her eyes fell upon the illustrated paper. The thought had entered her mind that, knowing of this engagement, Mrs, Gregory had not written, for in her last letter to her, Daphne, for once, had revealed a little of her un- happiness, "Come in here", she said, opening the door that led to the farmhouse parlor. "Mrs. Meadows won't be long 1 expect, Come in here and tell me all about it." Two cretonne-cushioned wicker chairs beside the open window look- ed inviting, and Dahpne sank into one and motioned him to the other, 2hen she looked at him frankly. i me what you know," she said quietly. "Of course this is a shock, but she was never strong, so I ought to have been prepared," Instead of speaking at once, he laid his suitcase on his knee, and opening this, took from it.a folded newspaper, "It was this made us feel you ought to know, although we don't know that it has got anything to do with Mrs, Gregory's affairs", he said. "But there was a gentleman down from London, and Mother thinks he may be her lawyer. Just read this, Miss Eden," and he passed the newspaper to her, where, heavily marked, lay something in the advertisements: "Miss Daphne Eden, late of Tren= kills Farm, Fairburn, Warwickshire, is requested to communicate with Messrs, Bennett, Downing and Dow- ning, of Galloway House, Portman Square, London, W, 1, where she will hear of something to her advantage. Any person knowing the whereabouts of the aforesaid, if commuincating with Messrs. Bennett, Downing and Downing, will be suitably rewarded," "That has appeared several times," he said, 'Mother said she and I must not do anything without your consent, but when it kept on appearing, I thought it was better to come and see you," "You mean," she asked, "that this has something to do with Mrs. Gerg- ory's death?" "Well, it might be worth while find. ing out, Miss Eden," he said. "At any rate, it commits you to nothing, and you may be better oft through it," Toney EAlmond CREAM The . By MRS, STANLEY WRENCH (Author of "Sing for the Moon" "Strange Lovers," etc). ACK ICICI ICIOICIICICI CIRC ICI SOIICICI ICIOIK HOUSE She nodded, asked a few questions about the chicken farm, learned that it was being carried on the same &s8 usual, and Daphne Eden looked very thoughtful, Those paying pupils were efficient girls, all of them, but with no one at the head of things, it would be impossible to carry on, She sud- denly made up her mind. After all, Michael Borde was noth. ing to do with her now; .there would be little llkelihood of meeting him; she would go back to the 'cottage, and at the same time make an appoint ment with Messrs. Bennett, Downing and Downing, and find out what the "advantage" was, She looked across at Denis Birch with a smile, "Thank you for telling me about this, Denis", she sald, "I shall go to London tomorrow," and she rose with an air of dismissal, He got up, too, but his face was flushed, he seemed hesitant, and al- though for & minute or two she was not aware of this, gazed at her with shy adoration. 3 "Miss Eden .... Daphne he be- gan, and then stopped short, for she was not looking at him, and her thoughts seemed far away, WHAT THE LAWYER SAID, | In spite of their address, Messrs, Bennett, Downing and Downing were old-fashioned, and the little room, in which Daphne waited smelled fusty and as though jt were seldom used. A lanky-limbed, elderly clerk with face like parchment, came in and lighted the gas:fire, glancing at Daph. ne almost reproachfully. "You are ftve minutes ahead of time, miss," he said, "Mr, Downing will see you in a little while," Later, he led her through another room, bulging with tin cases, files, ponderous volumes, and from their ancient, high desks, two grey-haired clerks glanced up as she passed. Da- phne was reminded of a graveyard. It seemed to her as though this room was the repository of secrets, buried hopes, a cemetery of scandals, The baize-covered door leading from this connected the outer offices with the newer building, and here light and more harmonious conditions reigned, The room into which she was ushered might have been a mod- ern business office, and the low lea- ther chair into which Mr, Downing waved her, after shaking hands, was comfort embodied. "You have seen our advertisement then, Miss Eden?' he sald, seating himself at the leather-topped table, "As I assured my partner, that is by far the most speedy way of reaching a client, likewise far more dignified than employin a private enquiry agent, That of course," and he plac. ed the: tips of his fingers together, smiling at her benevolently, "may be a matter of opinion, but I feel sure 'you will agree, ........ " » . She bent her head, caring little whether Messrs, Bennett, Downing and Downing employed one method or another, . "You wanted to see me... " she began, but he was not to be hurried, and Daphne had to wait whilst he carefully sauntered through a pre- amble of arranged conversation, slow- ly arriving at the point to which he wished to direct her attention, "Our client, Mrs,. Gregory, made a will two years ago," he said, "As possibly you know, she was a wealthy woman," Daphne did not know this, but gave no sign that the news surprised her, "When her husband Captain Greg- ory died out in Kenya he left every. thing to her, but since then thé es- tates have been managed under our supervision and under our advice," he continued, "The property in this country too has been left entirely in our hands, Mrs Gregory being con- tent to draw what interest she wish. éd from the income of the various properties, "As perhaps you know, the chicken farm she ran at Trenkills was a mere hobby with her, and was never seriously regatded as a 'paying proposition." : Again Daphne, not aware of this, Fe-- rr -------- i ---- | Fresh from' the Gardens gave no sign, beyond the merest in. clination of her head, "Two years ago our client made a will in which 'you were named as legatee," he aid, eyeing her close: ly "The chicken farm, the freehold of the estate there, and a certain sum of money, invested properly and un- der wise surveillance, was left to you," Daphne flushed then. . "Iwas not aware of this," she sald in a low voice, 'Mrs, Gregory nevet spoke of this to me," He peered at her over his glasses, "So I understood when she called me in again, the day before her death," he sald, "It may appear that Mrs, Gregory had some premonition of what was to happen, for although I went down to 'Trenkills, at a time when I understood you were absent, she was most insistent that the new codicil should be added and witness. ed without delay, As it turned out," he bowed towards her, "so far as you are concerned, my dear"young lady, she was wise, for unfortunately that night she died in her sleep, Heart failure, of course, She had suffered for years, So what it means is that you are heiress to her estate, and are sole legatee, That means you inherit all personal property and monies, which are considerable, as well as certain investments which 1 will go into and describe." Daphne gazed at him, too bewilder. ed for a moment even to voice a ques- tion. "Assuming, of course, that you will desire us to continue to act on behalf of the estate, I have prepared a rough statement here, and have likewise made arrangements, which will re- quire only your signature, and a pro- portion of the money, say one thous. and pounds, will be transferred. auto- matically to your private account, Of course this represents only a small portion of the estate, but assuming that you may be glad to have com- mand of some ready money, this can be secured, if you, desire, this. morn: ing." > "Do you mean," she asked in a low volce, "do you mean there is actually more than a thousand pounds to come to me?" Mr. Downing waited & whole half- minute for the significance 'of his next remark to reach her, - (To Be Continued,) CONSERVATIVE, A sports writer says there are 300 kinds of games played with balls, There's more than that many kinds played with golf balls alone.
