Denunciatlon at the present speaking was rather a sore subject with him and coming from the lips of the girl he worshiped in a one act play in which he was some one else was more than flesh and blood could stand. it had too definite a relation to his present cir- cumstances to be comfortable. 0n the whole. he decided to get out of tint play it he could. He did not want Harriet denouncing him. even in fun. She might have to do it in earnest later. and he did not wish her to have the advantage of a previous rehearsal. He was getting sensitive. he realised. but he wanted to see he!- alous. to talk with her as a kind of relief from the troubles that were gathering around him in uncomfortable. sticky ‘ooils. But at every turn his innocent purpose was frustrated. and he found himself in the clutches of some one else, as in- quisitor like Michael Corrigan. a chat- terbox like Miss Chittendon. He was not so occupied with his thoughts, however. as to forget a plains- man's training, and during the latter half hour of his wild flower hunt he was conscious or a spy upon his trail. He had turned at some remark of his companion and had chanced to see a figure that dodged swiftly behind a bowlder some titty yards away. He had paid no special ~heed to the oc- currenee. But when it was repeated twice he became convinced that some one was watching themâ€"whyrhe could not imagine. As they neared Restmore Richard wheeled suddenly and spied the figure crouching along a hoxwood hedge. It seemed a very strange at- talr, and he determined to get to the bottom of it. So. excusing himselfcon the steps of the veranda, he made a dmuitotthehmcutacrossthe rose garden and vaulted a fence into the road.
