The little incident , which was probably not the slightest consequence , and might have the most siniple explanation , nevertheless re- mained in Charteris's mind . He was too in- terested in Sylvia van Annan not to remark the smallest thing which had to do with her . He was surprised to find how much his inter- t had been quickened , his admiration and appreciation evolved on such slight acquain- tance . was be seen at various stages , with caddies in attendance . He directed attention to the course with his whip . " I had that made about ten years go , when I first succeeded to the property ; it belonged to my mother . Lady Denster . " He lowered his voice as he spoke the last sentences . Sylvia understood that even now he had a diffi.culty in referring to his loss . She looked out over the scene without saying anything , in sympathetic silence , which he appreciated . When they came to the end of the links he said : " Of course you play , Miss van Annan ? " " Yes , my friend , Rose , was talking of a round to - morrow . " Charteris jumped at the idea eagerly . " I should like to play with you the first time ; you see , as I made it , I am proud of my child . like a father of his first - born . If my friend , Captain Grennan , is free , we might have a foursome . " Then she Yet , with it all , he confessed that he more at a loss , more puzzled , than he had ever been in connection with people he had " That would be charming . " met . Sylvia seemed a contradiction ; her atti- added in another tone , which had a shade of tude at times suggested absolute frankness , xiety in it " Is Captain Grennan likely to her eyes clear and true , her glance met his be very much occupied " " " without reserve . Then this phase appeared to pass : she seemed under the domination of something which held her back , which compli- cated an otherwise -simple and direct nature . Here was an instance - a physical , visible instance - which fitted into the problem already his mind . Sylvia had no doubt been , taken by Mrs. Mason into the large spare bedroom , and left to adjust herself , after the housekeeper had en that all her wants had been supplied . This done , Sylvia had , looked out , noticed the Lalcony , which she had probably seen before when they approached the Hall , a touch had opened the French window , and she had gone out to admire the view . This was all quite natural , all in accordance with what any girl with the impulse of girl hood might be expected to do . Then came the complication . The corner from which his workshop could be seen was not im- mediately in front of the spare bedroom ; Sylvia must have gone to it with apparent in tention . All the scene came back to Charteris ; the first sight of the laboratory , and shed ; the extraordinary agitation she had displayed , which he had set down to a wrong cause ; the conversation which passed between them . Through his curious and somewhat bewi ! dered brain there flitted the image of that perfect figure , seen in the full sunlight , the red - gold hair gathered up into a . coronet above her brew . this Other things might be doubtful , but was certain , he would never forget the picture he had seen that morning ; he could never get limpse of the balcony from any point of view without picturing that figure standing upon it . He followed the broad path leading round the conservatory until he came to three short side- the top of which was entrance which let upon a passage , the near- st way to the smaller dining - room , where he had ordered the refreshments to be put . steps , at As he turned the handle Miss van Annan came towards him ; Mrs. Mason had been escorting her , but " the master " on seeing turned round and retired . Charteris ushered his visitor into the room . set her down in a comfortable chair , placed a little table by her side , then offered the plate of sandwiches and poured out a hálf- glass of champagne . Thank you , " she said ; " that is very nice . It seems a long time since I had break fast . I think a fall must be beneficial to the appetite . I don't know when I felt so hungry . I hope you mean to have something as well . Mr. Charteris . I shall enjoy it twice as much if you do . " toast . ture . " Thank you . " He poured himself out a glass of champagne and , slightly raising it , bowed , pledging her , as it were , with a silent pretty ges- She held up her glass with a " In Holland , " she said , we touch glasses when we wish well to one another . " Then she added , after a little pause , " We keep that for our intimate friends . " . Chartreris looked down at the tout ensemble before him - the small figure in the great chair . She seemed more petite , more irrespon- sible , than she had done at any period before . He felt she needed protection - not present , She suggested an imper- but problematical . sonal appeal to his manhood to afford her strength , to stand by her in some emergency undefined , which might never take place , and yet was more than possible . " You have not told me the verdict with regard to Lulu . She is not damaged , I am sure , or you would have said so . " " Well , he has his duties to perform , " barteris answered , carelessly , not choosing to notice the interest Sylvia again displayed . " I thought he was the captain of a ship . Is he not his own master ? " " In the services we are none of us our own masters , still leso in these days , when messages come in all kinds of ways - telephone , telegraph , and now by wireless . It is an ex- citing age , but I do not think any of us would care to go back to the old order of things . " He flicked the bay horse in the shafts with the whip to quicken its pace . They had turned away from the road running parallel to the sea , and were now descending a slight slope , which rose again on the further side to a steeper track , between woods . When they emerged from this , Shale Castle could be seen on a space of rising ground , some quarter of a mile away . It had turrets at both ends , the central block being slightly lower than the extremities ; a comparatively new building , it had taken the place of a mansion dating back to the Tudors , which had been burnt about forty years previously . The father of Mr. Howard - Vance , a success- ful Russian merchant in London , had pur- chased the property and rebuilt the house , retaining the old name . In spite of its castel . lated appearance , the Castle could not vie with Corford Hall either as regards dignity or the general impression of importance it conveyed . One of the side gates of the drive was penned back .. Charteris drove through On one side was when they a belt of rhododendrons ; rounded this corner Sylvia gave a little exclama- tion . Before them , pacing slowly , their horses in close proximity , were Captain Grennan and Rose Howard - Vance . Charteris smiled . " The hunt must have ended early , " Miss van Annan commented . He thought there might be another explanation . There was something suggestive of intimacy about the pose of the two in front of them . The drive up which they were going was not so carefully kept as the broad , gravelled road leading from the central gates to the Castle . Moss and lichen were permitted to bind the stones together ,. and between them served to deaden the sound of the dogcart to the ears of the two riders . no . Suddenly . Miss Howard - Vance became con- scious that she and her companion were longer alone , with only the rabbits scuttling away into their burrows as solitary spectators . With a touch of the rein she moved away , occupying the centre of the road . Then she turned round , and saw Sylvia being driven by Lieutenant Charteris . She wheeled towards them , Captain Grennan also turned at the same time . Her face was flushed ; her whole demeaner suggested excite- ment . " What is the matter ? " she cried . " Why are you two driving ? Where are the horses ? " The dogcart had by this time come up and stopped . Fortu- Lulu pecked , with me on her back , at a She came down hedge , and took it badly . on her knees , and sent me flying . unately , neither of us is hurt ; but as we were near the Hall , Mr. Charteris kindly suggested I should take refuge there to tidy myself . Lulu's knees are slightly swollen . A room is to bring her over here this afternoon . " Charteris listened to the explanation , more with the pleasure of hearing her speak than for any other purpose ; for the story , though new to Sylvia's auditors , was familiar to him . He liked to hear the tones of her voice . He was rather fastidious about voices . However much he might admire a woman , if she had a him . It was now Sylvia's turn to question . " You are back early , Rose . What became of the fox ? " My head groom Myres examined her care - shrill or strident voice she never attracted fully . Her knees are slightly swollen , but there are no abrasions . She will want gentle exercise for a few days , but had better not be ridden . I have instructed Myres to take her to the Castle this afternoon . If you will allow me . I will drive you over . I told them to bring the dog - cart round in half an hour . " It is good of you to take so much trouble . I like being looked after . " " I expect you have had a good deal of it . " She shook her head with a comical rueful- " No such luck ! " She shot him a glance . " You think I have been spoilt ? " " I own it seemed probable . " mess . " How many mistakes men make ! That is about the third wrong judgment , you have pronounced to - day , Mr. Charteris . " " I plead inexperience . " " Must I believe that ? " Every He laid his hand on his heart . word I say is true , on my honour as a man and a soldier . " " Experience is a thing easily attained , is it not ?

" There are many things which time not measure . " can- one . The clock on the mantlepiece struck The announcement was followed by others in the house , including a deep - toned reverbera- tion from a grandfather - ciock in the hall . At the same moment they could hear the wheels of the dog - cart driving up to the door . " This half - hour has gone quickly , " Sylvia commented , at the same time rising from her -too quickly " All pleasant things go chair . quickly . " " Even sandwiches and champagne . " " Yes ; and other things . " Charteris opened the door for her . Mrs. Mason appeared with a wrap . She , too , har heard the sound of wheels at the door . " The fox ? " Rose laughed , and looked some- what consciously at Captain Grennan , who bent over his horse and smoothed its mane . " Yes , the fox ? " Sylvia repeated her ques- tion with a certain malicious pleasure , for the truth had dawned upon ser . Charteris had suspected it all along . " I think the fox is all right , anyway , we lost it , or it lost us . " Grennan struck in , coming gallantly to the assistance of his companion " The fact is , Miss van Annan , we lost the fox ; but Rose and I found each other . " " Were you lost ? " Sylvia inquired , inno cently . " Well , we were not found , as we are now . Rose had drawn her horse close to her friend's side . She leant over to her , and the two girls kissed .
