With a pounding heart I took my seat by her side, perceived the glow of her presence, discovered her faint perfume. . , , The spot to which we were going lay 12 miles off, and, after leaving the car, we must walk half a mile through the forest to come to the dell. Be sure, I drove slowly enough. . . , But though half an hour went by before we left the coupe, in all that time we never exchanged one word. Again and again I songht to make some remark, but I feared that my voice would tremble and so betray an emotion I did not wish her to see. To sit thus by her side as I had sat so often, was stirring the depths of my being, as though with a sword. Though 1 kept my gaze fast on the road, with the tail of my eye 1 could see her peerless features and the gentle, steadfast look on her lovely face. She was neither grave nor smiling, but something betwixt the two: her air was the air of one whose day Is over, who has of choice withdrawn from the lists of life and Is now content to sit and watch the tourney In which she will ride no more. I had never seen her like this and at first I could not discover what It was that I found unfamiliar in the beauty I knew so well: and then I saw the eagerness was out of her face. When I brought the car to rest, Helena was out In the road before I could open the door. Then we entered the forest together, as we seemed to have done bo often In other days. In silence we came to the glade where Geoffrey had been painting when I first set eyes on the thieves, and In silence we passed to the coverts which might have been planted on purpose to keep the delL And then at last we came out not quite as I had Intended, above the bluff, but lower down, between the bluff and the water at the edge of a sloping lawn. grave.

Afraid to face Pharaoh such a dereliction of duty meant almost certain death Bugle decided to kill him and Dewdrop, too. And so he did. Then he escaped by the chimney, with Lady Helenas master key. This let him out of the castle by the way by which he came In. Why he waited to let her out, I cannot conceive, Possibly some twinge of conscience yon never know. Thats one of the points which we shall never clear up." Then everythings over," said I. "The terror Is laid. "The terror is laid," said Geoffrey. Bugle remains, of course.

I know, I know. But he had a spark of feeling. More than a spark, I think. Very few men, placed as he was, would have troubled to let me out" There was another silence. With her eyes on young Florins grave, Helena spoke again. That wasnt the only reason why I wanted to see yon before you went 1 want your help In a matter. . . . Your cousin Is painting my picture hes nearly done. It Is the most lovely portrait. . . . And as he wont hear of a fee, I want to make him a present. Well, Ive got a cup at Yorlek, an old, gold cup, with a curious history. Years ago, In the Sixteenth century, the Yorlek of that day was A young painter came painted. from Vienna, a man called Latz. Had he lived, he would have been famous, for the picture Is terribly good. Your cousin picked It out In an Instant as being the best of the lot. Well, when the painter had finished, the count was so pleased with his work that he called for wine and drank the young man's health, and when he had drained the cup he called for gold. I suppose his treasurer brought It Then he filled the cup with gold pieces and gave the painter the lot. I hope It was adequate payment In those days It probably was. The next morning the painter left Yorlek to make his way home. On his lonely ride to Salzburg the poor man was robbed and murdered his body was found by the road. Now the thieves didnt break np the cup, but six months later they tried to sell It at her nostrils and her eyes seemed to pierce my brain. Inns- bruck where Yorlek then had a hotel. But, as It happened, they took It to the very goldsmith that Yorlek himself employed. The moment he saw the arms, he knew that the cup had been stolen, and, to cut a long story short, the thieves were taken and hanged and the cup came back to the castle because the poor painter was dead. So yon see that cup will make a most appropriate gift But Im so afraid that your cousin may refuse to accept It that, before I ask him to do so, I want to have It engraved with his crest And thats where you can hdp me. I must have something of his that bears his crest to give to the engraver to copy. A or a flask, perhaps cigarette-eas- e It's on the hacks of his brushes. . , . You see, without that Im stuck.

Helena sat back on her heels, Angers to lip. Her eyes were still wide, still staring; she seemed to be murmuring something I could not hear. I'm sorry," I said. I didn't mean you to know." At that a tremor ran through her: then, with a sudden movement, she flung herself down on her face and burst Into tears. For a moment I sat hesitant. Then something snnpped within me. I lifted her up and gathered her Into my arms. With my face pressed tight against hers Don't cry, Nell," I said. I cant bear 1L And and please dont send me away." Im not sending you away, she sobbed. She caught at my coat. And Ill tell you another thing. Td never have let you go. If all else had failed, I was going down to the station. I held her off and looked Into her tear-staine- d face.
