CHAPTER XXX.—Continued

She made no pretence at mourning
the man who had turned her life into

_ @ living hell for nearly three years

and who had stood like gaoler be-

_ twixt her and the happiness which

might have been hers had she been
‘free. But the conventions, as well as
her own feelings, dictated that a de-
cent interval must elapse before she
and Nick could be married, and this

thing of Burke since the day she had
fled from him on the Moor, although
indirectly she had discovered that he
had quitted the bungalow the day
following that of her flight from it
and had gone to London.

Judith sent her @ brief, rather for-
mal letter of congratulation upon her
engagement, but in it she made no
reference to him nor did she endeay-
our to explain away or palliate her
own share in his scheme to force
Jean’s hand. Probably an odd kind of
loyalty to her brother prevented her
from clearing herself at his expense,
added to a certain dogged pride which
refused to let her extenuate any ac-
tion of hers to the daughter of Glyn
Peterson. \

But none of these things had any
power to hurt Jean now. In her new-
born happiness she felt that she could

| steel with a graver’s tool. |
| Although the mellow sunlight of |
| September flooded the lawns and ter-
| races, that indescribable change which
heralds autumn had already begun
to manifest itself. Not that any hint
of chill as yet edged the balmy at-
mosphere or tint of russet Ree
the gently waving foliage of the trees. |
It was something less definite—a sug- |
gestion of maturity, of completed rip- |
ening, conveyed by the deep, rich|
green of the grass, the strong, woody |
growth of the trees, the full-blown |
glory of the roses nodding on their
stems. ‘
To the left, in the shade of a state-
ly cedar, Lady Anne and Jean were |
encampeil with their sewing and writ-
ing materials at hand, and the rays
of sunshihe, filtering between the}
widespread branches above them,
woke fugitive gold and silver lights in
the downbent auburn and white-
crowned heads. Further away, in
the valley below, the brown smudge
of a wide-bottomed boat broke the
smooth expanse of the lake whence }
the mingled laughter of Nick and |
Claire came floating up on the breeze. }
It was a peaceful scene, full of inti-
mate happiness and tender promises,
and Blaise watched it with contented
eyes. The voice of Baines, formal
and urbane, roused him from a pleas-
ant reverie.

“Tt isn’t in the least because I feel

3 owe it to Adrian,” the said in ans-

wer to Nick’s protest. “I don’t con-
‘sider that I owe him anything at all.
But I feel so battered, Nick, so utter-
ly tired and weary after the per-
petual struggle of the last three years
that I don’t want to plunge suddenly
into the new duties of a new life—
not even into new happiness. It’s diffi-
‘cult to make you understand, but I
feel just like a sponge which has
soaked up all it can and simply can’t
absorb any more of anything. You
must let me have time for the past to
evaporate a bit.”

But it required the addition of a
few commonsense observations on the
part of Lady Anne to drive the nail
home. :

“Claire is quite right, Nick,” she
told him. “She is temporarily worn
out—mentally, physically and spirit-
wally spent. Her nerves have been
kept at their utmost stretch off and
on for years, and now that release
has come they've collapsed like a
fiddle-string when the peg that holds
it taut is loosened. You must give

_ her time to recover, to key herself up
to normal pitch again. At present
she isn't fit to face even the demands
that big happiness brings in its train.”

So Nick had perforce to bow to
Claire's decision and it was settled
that the first month or two, at least,
of her widowhood Jean should remove
herself and her belongings from Sta-
ple and bear her company at Charn-
wood, And meanwhile Nick and Claire
would spend many peaceful hours to-
gether of quiet happiness and com-
panionship, while Claire, as she her-
self expressed it, “rebuilt her soul.”

To Jean the issue of events had
brought her nothing but pure joy. Her
belief had been justified, and the grim

_ gateway of death had become for
these two friends of hers the gate- provoking epistle two days previously, | sleepiness, has been found to succumb | Many were college girls. |

way of happiness.
_ She had neither seen nor heard any-

itive man” methods his temperament
dictated in his effort to win the wo-
man he wanted for his wife. And he
had failed. Just now, Jean could not
help sympathizing with anybody who
had failed to find the happiness that
love bestows. .

She reflected that the old Gypsy
on the Moor had been wonderfully
correct in her prophecy concerning
Nick and Claire. The sun was ‘‘shin-
in’ butivul’” for them at last, just as
she had assured them that it would.

And, with the same, came a sudden
clutch of fear at Jean's heart, like the
touch of a strange hand. The gipsy
had had other words for her—harsh-
er. less sweet-sounding.

“For there’s darkness comin’... .
black darkness.”

She shivered a little. She felt as
though a breath of cold air had
passed over her, chilling the warm
blood that ran so joyously in her
veins.

CHAPTER XXXI.
An Unwelcome Visitor

Blaise was seated at his study ta-
ble regarding somewhat dubiously a
letter which lay open in front of him.

It was written in a flowing, foreign
hand and expressed with a quaintly
stilted, un-English turn of phrase.
The heading of the notepaper upon
which it was inscribed was that of a
hotel in Exeter.

will, without doubt, be surprised to
receive a letter from me, since we
have met only once, But I have some-
thing of the most importance to con-
fide in you, and I therefore beg that
you will accord me an interview.
When I add to this that the matter
approaches very closely the future of
your fiancee, Miss Peterson, I do not
doubt to myself that you will appoint

a time when I may call to see you.”
| The letter was signed M. de
| Varigny.”

Blaise had received this thought-

‘ fortable consciousness that it fore-

“All Her Children Were Troubled

With Diarrhoea

Mr.. J. J. Bickert, RR. 1, Enderby, B.C., writes:—
{Last Summer all+ my children were troubled with

diarrhoea, and

were so bad I did not know what to do.

A friend told me to give them Dr. Fowler’s Extract of
Wild Strawberry, so I got a bottle, and after a couple

of doses you

should have seen the change. ‘The

children were soon well again, and I am very thankful
to your wonderful remedy. I find it the only one that

“Dear Mr. Tormarin,” it ran. “You |

Countess shook her head.

“No, I will not shake hands,” she
said abruptly. “When you know why
I am come, you will not want to
shake hands with me.”

There was something not unattrac-
tive about the outspoken refusal to
sail under false colours, more espe-
cially softened as it was, by the
charm of the faintly foreign accent
and intonation. :

Madame de Varigny had paused a
moment in the middle of the room
and was regarding her host with curi-
ously appraising eyes, and as Blaise
returned her gaze he was conscious,
as once before at the fancy-dress ball
at Montavan, of the strange sense of
familiarity this woman had for him.

“IT am sorry for that,” he said, ans-
wering her refusal to shake hands.
“Won't you, at least, sit down?” pull-
ing forward a chair.

“Yes, I will sit’

She sank into the chair with the
quick, graceful motion of the South,
and continued to regard Blaise watch-
fully between the thick fringes of
her lashes. Had Jean been present,
she would have been struck anew by |
the expression of implacability which
hardened the dark brown eyes. By
that, and by something else as well—
a look of unmistakable triumph.

“J have much —much to say to you,
| Monsieur Tor-ma-rin,” she began at)
last. “T will commence by telling |
you & little about myself. I am’—
| here she looked away for an instant,
| then shot a swift, penetrating glance
i him—‘an Italian by birth.”

LIKE FLOWERS

Women are like flowers:
Jessamine and rose
Through June’s sunny hours
All their charms disclose.
Mignonette and lily,
Larkspur, coral spray,
Under bréezes chilly
Shrink and fade away.
But when Summer gaily
Dances down the lanes,
They wax fairer daily
To her blithe refrains.
Love is sunshine, falling
Wheh morn’s mists depart:
Love is summer, calling
To a woman's heart.
Women are like flowers:
Until life is done
Living for those hours
When they see love’s sun.

To Beat Unemployment

Germany Plans To Put University
Graduates On Farms

Placing university trained young
men on farms is the object of asso-
ciations formed in Berlin and Leipzig,
Germany, among the university peo-
ple themselves. Jobs as agricultural
laborers are being sought for thou-
sands. Because, within a short time)
every third university trained man in
Germany will have t6 join the ranks
of the unemployed, unless something
is done about it, efforts are being
made to get farm work for as many
as possible of the 60,000 academically |
trained men now unemployed.
