Independent Autumn Dean, returning home to British Columbia from abroad without her lather's knowledge, stops at the home of Hector Cardigan, an old family friend.

Arriving home at the "Castle of the Norns," she Is greeted lovingly by her father, Jarvis Dean, who gives her to understand that she is welcome for a short visit. Her mother, former belle named Millicent Odell. has been dead for years. Autumn cannot understand her father's attitude, though gives him to understand that she is home for good. She has grown tired of life in England, where she lived with an aunt. Her father gives a welcoming dance at the castle. Autumn meets Florian Parr, dashing, young man of the countryside.

Good leading to the Landor house that their voices ceased. Bruce seemed suddenly to have become preoccupied with something apart and remote as he rode slowly forward, his eyes fixed upon the house that stood among the shadows at the farther end of the avenue. A cool ripple of apprehensiveness passed down over Autumn's body, a feeling ominous and totally strange to her experience. She recalled now that as a girl she had always been afraid of Jane Landor,' though she had never known the reason. And now, within a room there beyond that glowing window, lay the helpless form of the woman whose forbidding manner had often caused Autumn to shrink from her. It was not fear that overcame her now, but pity deep pity for the woman whose staunch fortitude had been reduced to frailty by a life that had beaten her at last. When Bruce finally dismounted be fore the doorway and stretched his hand up to her, she laid her own slender one within it and got down. For a moment she clung to his hand and hesitated. 'Wait, Bruce," she whispered, and the thought struck her that she should not have come like this to see Jane Landor He smiled down upon her and fold ed his other hand over hers. "You look frightened," he said, leaning close to her. She followed him Into the house. The large room was in darkness. but a light from the open doorway ol an adjoining room cast a soft glim mer over the furnish ings of the place. Immediately a woman s voice. small and nervous to the point of querulousness, spoke from the inner room. "Is that you, Bruce?" "Yes, mother. I've brought a visitor to see you." There was a moment's silence, Then, "A visitor? Who?" "I'll let you figure that out for yourself," Bruce said, and led Au tumn into the room. g Jane Landor was in a position among the pillows, a light attached to the bed above her thin, colorless face. Autumn had expect ed to find her changed from the woman she remembered, but she was not prepared for what she saw there under the soft light of the She drew back instinctively before the look from the fierce black eyes that were turned upon her as she stepped through the doorway. "Come in where I can see you," Jane Landor ordered, and struggled to draw herself up for a closer look at her visitor. Autumn stepped into the light and stood for a moment smiling down at the frail woman. "Don't you remember me?" she asked in a soft voice that was none too steady. Jane Landor's face twisted suddenly as if in spasm. She lifted her thin hands to her wasted cheeks and drew her breath in a quick gasp "You! You!" she cried. "Millicent Odell! What brings you back here? Take ber away, Bruce! Take her away!" Her voice was hysterical shriek now. She covered her eyes with ber hands as she lay back sobbing among the pillows. Bruce was beside her instantly, his arms about ber shoulders. "Mother mother, it's Autumn Dean," he tried to reassure ber. "Don't you remember Autumn? She has come back." His face under the light was shocked and bewildered. "Take her away, I say!" Jane Landor Insisted vehemently. "Noth ing but death follows in the way of r the Odells!" She clung to Bruce, who tried In vain to soothe her, and Autumn stole in a trembling daze from the room and out of the house. thelilood Help I hfm Clean of Harmful lUny Wate Your k.dnr are wtsint1y But mutter fmm the blood fllti-rf- wte kidnrys itrwm. somUmps lag in their work do Dot art aa Nkure lntrtHd fail to remove trfttnritia that, ii retained, may Cointi thm irnteia and npect to wbv machinery bymptome may ba fiarrlnf harfcarha, fHrS?nt hna(iarhi( tarkii of dizxinpftfl. uit:nee gott ng tip tiinhis, awrlUfiK a fliitf of nmrmum unrlr the y of and l(s sr,rnt;ih. anxifty pp orandbladtW die Other airne nf kidney ord f are hobip imra burning scanty of too frr(U"nt nr nai ton. 1 t"ttr should bm no doubt tfrst promnt than nipct. l ee tratm!t Is wt have tn 'oi'f I'tll. ftan'$ fronds tttr mora pw 7 hy have a Are rvo'nTTindM by m inning .hurt forty ynra, reputation. people tat) fis'lnn-wi- d irrnn-ft- i! tended to, and later Hannah was so much one of the family that it was unthinkable that she should eat alone. Hannah had seen to it that the paper streamers and other decorations that had festooned the din ing room for the dance of the night before had been cleared away and the place restored to its wonted homely austerity.- - She would give her attention to the drawing room and the rest of the house as soon as the meal was over. Here in this room, however, life had returned to its accustomed way. To Autumn, it seemed that some perverse fate had ordered the quiet scene so that she might find it impossible to seek an answer to the questions that had assailed her mind throughout an almost sleepless night. She had ridden home from the Landor place and had returned to her father's guests with a feel ing that some curse had been laid upon her. She had moved about under a black spell that was as unreal to her as a delirious dream. And when it was all over and the last guest had gone, she had hurried to her room and lain awake until dawn. Her father turned his eyes search-inglupon her as she seated herself at the breakfast table.

She bad permitted her father to know only that she had indulged an impulse last night to get away alone for a ride in the moonlight; it bad been impossible to tell him of ber frightening visit to the Landors. "I don't know what's wrong with the women nowadays," Jarvis continued. "In my time a young woman could dance all night and go to work the next day and be none the worse for it But the women today have gone to pot." Old Hannah sniffed. "I don't see that your men nowadays show mucb to brag about" The Laird smiled. "Aye, they're a feckless lot and have a mighty high opinion of themselves." "It's hard to Judge the present by the past Da," Autumn ventured. "Aye, my girl, there's something In that too. It's the times that make the difference. It was a hard life we lived when I was a youngand it made hard men of us." And hard women, too. Autumn thought her mind upon Jane Lan- ster dor. "It'd take more than a hard life to make anything o' the like o' that Parr lad, I'm thinking," Hannah suggested. "There's no way ol telling that" Jarvis countered. "There's good blood In the boy. His father comes of a good line." "The world's full of fools who can boast of good fathers before them, then." said Hannah stoutly. "Right enough." declared Jarvis, chuckling to himself. "It takes two to breed even a flock of culls." "Will you be using the car today. Da?" Autumn asked abruptly. "No. I'll be down at the pens till supper. Haven't you done enough traveling to be content for a while?" "I have some things to do in town, she said "I'll leave right away and be back early." "There'll be no call lor haste, ' the Laird cautioned her. "You drive that car like something that had lost her wits " .Autumn smiled at him.

"Hector," she said, glancing up at him with sudden directness, "I came to have a talk with you. Do you mind?" Hector smiled at her. "We used to get on very well with our talks, if I remember." "I was a child, then. Hector." "Yes that's so, that's so. I really hadn't considered that aspect of our our friendship, may I say?" "I am no longer a child. Hector." "Very true, my dear. I recognize the fact and I am forced to confess that I have never been a spectacular success in conversations with women." "You don't have to be on this occasion. Hector. I am not here for small talk." "Hm-m-well, of course " "I want to ask you some questions." "I cannot promise ah, definitely, you know to answer any question a young woman might put to me. Can L now?" Autumn could not tell whether his manner was becoming evasive or merely apologetic. "You can answer the questions 1 have in mind. Hector.

In his busiest season Jarvil Dean nevertheless attended his table of a morning with the leisurely grace of country gentleman. If man could not begin the day becomingly, the Laird maintained, he had better remain tn bed.

Autumn listened eagerly and would have ventured a question here and there but that ber father's brows grew darker and his countenance clouded the more as the garrulous old housekeeper proceeded.

"I went over to visit Jane Landor last night," she began. "I thought you were giving a dance." "I left it for an hour or so and rode over to the Landor place. I met Bruce and he took me to the house to see his mother." "I see. Rather singular conduct-t-or a hostess. I should say." "I'll admit it was for the time being. In any case. I saw Jane Landor." "You spoke to her?" "I'm not sure. Perhaps a word. I forget. It was what she said to me that I have come to ask you about." Hector moved uneasily. "Poor Jane Landor is not to be held to ac count for anything she says these days, my dear. I understand she is no longer coherent." "I am not going to hold her re sponsible for what she said. Hector. I want to know the meaning of it that's alL" "Hm-m- , well, my dear what did she say?" "When I stepped Into the room with Bruce, she became hysterical. She declared to Bruce that I was Millicent Odell and pleaded with him to put me out." "Was that all?" "Not quite. As I turned to leave, 1 heard her say that death followed In the way of the Odells." "Anything else?" "Nothing. I hurried out and rode back home as fast as I could." For several seconds Hector re mained standing with his back to the fireplace, his hands folded behind him. his eyes at gaze across the room. "Well, now," he said at last "It was a somewhat curious greeting you received. I confess, and one likely to give you pause, but as I said before, the poor woman" "The poor woman.
