Oxford and I have been there once or twice.” The girls answered that that would be delightful, and Hilary began to tell Elspeth something of the history of the ruin they would seeâ€"an old stronghold destroyed in the days of Mary Stuart. But Elspeth scarcely heard the story, which would have held her interest at an other time. She had looked forwar intensely to this afternoon’s pleasure given her by Kenrith, and enjoyed with him so near her; but now that the ex- perience had begun, it was spoiled for her by the strange thoughts which would come into her head. Why had the Countess looked so startled on hearing that she was to be in the car? Why had she tried to dissuade her from going, and only ceased her arguments when told that if Elspeth stayed at home, Lady Hilary would no doubt be obliged to do so, too? Why had she laughed as if in amuse- ment because Captain Oxford was not to be of the party, and why had she seemed almost savagely pleased to know that Lady Hilary would be in his place? ' “The Countess doesn’t like Lady Hilary,” Elspeth said to herself. “She cares for Mr. Trowbridge, and has the air of considering him her pro- perty. Now, he has fallen in love with Lady Hilary. Any one can see thatâ€"indeed, every one does see it, and talks about it, much to Lady Hilary's disgust, especially as her mother encourages him, because he is supposed to be so tremendously rich. I believe the Countess would be glad to have some harm come to Lady Hilary. She’s a foreigner, and Ann a strange, passionate creature, cap- able of evil, I believe, if it were to further her own ends or in'ure an enemy. Perhaps it is horri of me to think that, as she is so kind, and seems to have taken such a fancy to me, yet I can’t help feeling it’s true about her. But even if she would like to harm that sweet girl, why should she have been so pleased to know Lady Hilary was going mo- toring with Mr. Kenrith? I suppose it must have been because she knew that now she’d be sure to have Mr. Trowbridge to herself, even if he had planned to be (with Lady Hilary. That ___.L Ln-.A Lynn!!!“ y‘allllvu vv w v must be it. She must have known he had some idea to propose an ex- cuse to be in Lady Hilary’s society, and that would perhaps be enough to account. for the look on his face when he saw Lady Hilary in the car just now. And yetâ€"and yetâ€"it was more than a look of disappointment. It was actual horror. And then, the chauffeur’s accident? Was that a co- incidence orâ€"something more strange? What can it all mean? Or does it mean nothing, except that my imag- ination has grown morbid, and taken to conjuring up sensational things?” A voice within herself seemed to answer Elspeth’s forebodings with a warning. A vague depression fell up- on her. She felt a sense of responsi- bility, as if she ought to say some- thing, do something, while there was time to prevent a calamity. Still, she kept silence. Mr. Kenrith would only think her foolish and cowardly if she said: “Please stop the motor. Be» Countess Radepolskoi didn’t want me to come out with you, and because Mr. 'l‘rowbridge looked dis- tressed at seeing Lady Hilary in “1' car. I have a nresentiment that some thing dreadful is going to happen." “Perhaps every one feels much the same when they are motoring for the first time,” she told herself. “I have the idea that I should be glorying II) it if it hadn’t been for the Countess and Mr. Trowbridge; but maybe I |shouldn’t. Maybe this is only part i of the experience.” A transit. huh ---vâ€" H was actual horror chauffeur’s accident? incidence orâ€"somethi What can it all me 01 um CAIIVI 1v sssss Just at this instant Kenrith hall turned his head for a second to ask- “How do you like it, Miss Dean? You're not frightened, I hope?” Then Elspeth felt that not for any- thing in the world would she have said “Yes.” “I think it’s glorious." she answered bravely, though still the inward monitor whispered “Tell him to stop the car. Tell him to stop the cur." *‘-- ‘A :- aioon Now they were coming to a steep and winding descent. and all Ken- rith’s attention was needed for his driving.

Mother and I are in dreadful difficulties. I don’t know what is going to become of us. Any dayâ€"any hourâ€"the most awful dis- grace may fall upon our heads, and we shall be ruined forever.” “Can nothing be done?” implored Elépeth, forgetting all her own anx- ieties. “I could do somethingâ€"something I would far rather die than do.” “You mean”â€" “I see you’ve guessed.” “May I speak out?” “Yes. We’re friends. You have done so much for me. Oh, you can't help me nowâ€"except by sympathy. But that’s a great deal, when a girl is as wretched as I am.” “Your mother wants you to marry some nch man.” “That would be nothing new. She brought me up for that.

The world stopped for her. “ ‘ ‘ ‘ “Is this death? Have I died, and solved the great n'lystery? Am I on the threshold of a. new life?” Slowly, falt-eringly. the words formed them- selves in Elspeth’s brain. ”(TIVK.¢1 auu ga-~-l_.-- She was. conscious of no suffering; she scarcely remembered what she had passed through, yet the Impres- - . 1 . o ‘_-_ A...“‘ AA lla‘; '.,’Illt7l)"u sion of some tremendous experience just undergone, floated dimly in her mind.

Perhaps she was dead; but if she were, the last thing she had done in life was to be in a motor car with Mr. Kenrith and Lady Hilary Vane. There had been no accident.

As she knelt there in the dust the girl’s back was turned toward Elspeth, and she was so absorbed in what she was doing that she did not hear the rustling of the tall bracken. She had opened the coat of the uncon- scious man, who was lying close to the big, broken motor car, with his face staiDed with blood. Busily her little hands were searching, search- ing for something, and her whole heart was in the work. n as) I.“ UALV V! v- -- Elspeth sto still, unable to speak, unable to move. But the spell was broken by the stealthy whirr of an electric car coming along the road by which they had traveled from Loch- 1°ain. It was close upon them, and, as Elspeth turned with a start, she saw Trowbridge stop the automobile and leap out. A- I h J___‘ “15“ -\‘-1' ‘1‘.-- Beside him the Countess Radepol- skoi was sitting, but when the car had come to a rest she left it quickly and ran forward. Seeing Hilary kneeling beside Kenrith she gave a low cry which sounded strangely in Elspeth’s ears. There was, or she fancied it, a ring of anger and the bitterness of disappointrnent. _ Trowbridge sprang to Lady Hilary, and, as she struggled to her feet, he caught her in his arms. With a mean she let her head fall limply against his breast, and Elspeth saw that she had fainted. Quickly the thought flashed through her mind that if Hilary knew s a could not bear to rest in this man’s arms. He bent over her, muttering something, and Elspeth uttered an exclamation just in time to prevent him from touching the beautiful dis- ordered hair of the girl with his lips. V. “V.
