The miles streamed by in silence, and I think It was just past midnight when I switched the Rolls off the road and Into the entrance-drivfoot-bridg- e Life Is Wealth A moment later our strange procession took shape. Helena led the way and I brought up the rear, with the Count on my back, while Mona minced between us, bearing her shoes In her hand. Six paces away from the gates, I laid my burden down. Is your back all right? breathed Helena. Yes, thank you, my sweet." At once she turned to Mona, who was drooping beside the walk If you cross that bridge, the porter will see you, and you will be elmsed and caught. In a few minutes time, however, the porter will leave his lodge. Youll know when he's gone, because then the wicket will oppn. The moment the wicket opens, cross the bridge.

She turned to the man. Shut the wicket, Hubert, and wait In the open the doors of the principal lodge. The car will stay there." In a flash she was In the courtyard, with Sabre and me behind. The doors were open, and Helena sped up the staircase which led to the principal rooms. Helenas ear was fast to the library door. After a moment she passed to the dining room. There for a moment she listened. Then her hand went out to the handle and softly opened the door. A girl was standing on the table, igarding herself In the huge Italian mirror that hung on the wall. Her dress did not become her It was so much finer than she. The e scene was too coarse to be girl from the streets of Lass was trying on Helenas clothes. Champagne was on the table and on the floor. The Count was lying, flat on his back. His condition was most apparent. To say he was drunk conveys nothing. The girl had seen us In the mir- terial with short sleeves.

There was only one thing to be done, for the moonlight was all about me, and Pharaoh and Dew-dro- p could see me without being seen. I fell on my face, writhed my way Into the shadows and darted across to a tree that stood some twelve paces off. And there, flat against the trunk, I took my stand, with my eyes on the door of the cottage which was full In the light. I was ready now, at last, and the moment I saw the door move I fired at the latch. This had the effect I desired, for the door did not move again. I was now as composed as I had been distracted, for the knowledge that my darling was safe had made me another man. My nerves were steady, my brain was clear, I felt like a giant refreshed, and I saw at once that my lady must be at Witchcraft. One minute later 1 was behind the cottage and was running as fast as I could for the Witchcraft path. I was more than halfway to the cross roads when Sabre touched my hand. With a leaping heart, I at once took hold of his collar and ran by his side. Thirty yards on he stopped. Nell," I said quietly. 'Nell." There was a rustle behind me.

Her hands clapped fast to her cheeks, she was staring at Helenas reflection with starting eyes. To confirm the mirrors report, she shot us one glance of horror; then she crumpled and sank to the table, dragging the dress about her and shrinking as though from some vision which was but waiting to give her the judgment that she deserved. Helena went to her quickly and touched her arm. Ive got." Dont be afraid," she said quiIler tears were wet on my lips, etly.
