Harry assented willingly enough,
but as he turned his back on Bright-
en, mentally vowing that he would

,again, he was corscious of a sudden
conviction that his lite.. was blight-

when the pure soul and the maiden

could have cursed hiinseif and all
the stupendous folly that had
brought him to this. FOr how could
he ever explain it away? How
could Ile hope to convince her that
his escapade with Dolly V,andom was
designed merely to lass the time,
and that it had no sleeper signific-
:aince either to Dolly or to himself?

He walked in the rain for what
seemed hours, chewing the orad of
his bitter reflection, turning the
thing over and over in his mind,
but approaching no nearer to a solu-
tion of the difficulty. Events must
have trade strides at Essendon in
his .absence, and be wondered that
his mother had not mentioned Gris-
elcla's growing intimacy with the
Car'r•ingtons. It. must have progress-
ed by leaps and bounds, seeing that
it had culminated in her being al-
lowed to pay a visit to them at
Brighton. His astonishment over
that fact was only equalled by his
sick dismay as he thought of the
expression in Blanche's eyes when,
for one brief moment they had rest-
ed ort the woman by his side.
He could' have gnashed his teeth
with bitter vexation, But most of
all he blamed Maurice, first, for hav-
ing introduced hint to the Vandcnts

avis]i Is that I .had never seen the
beastly place.. But I'll get even
with Maurice—you bet I will."
Dolly pondered for a Moment,
looking through the rain -swept win-
dow of tile compartment, tempted to
snake confession, to tell Harry Kerr
of the strange compact that had
been Made between her. and 'Maur-
ice.
"Ha1," she said in a very gentle
voice, "which was the one?"
, He shook -his head 'savagely. "I
don't know what you mean, Dolly,

a way of getting what he wants."

"'Well, don't .get to fisticuffs on
a Sunday night. It isn't worth it,
Bal. Fin sorry that I dragged you
to Brighton to -day, but I couldn't
tell—could 1?—that anything of this
sort would happen. Are you very
angry, dear?"
;She. sat u, close to. hint, and her
eyes searched his face with an ap-
pealing glance, which quickly melt-
ed Harry's too susceptible heart.Ile
put his arm round her and gave
the kiss from which 11e had turned
away only last night. •
"Never mind, •olcl grl. I'm not
angry with you. How could I be
since you're my very best pal and as
true as steel?"
To his..surprise her eyes filled
with tears, the color rose high in her
cheeks, and,• suddenly turning away
from him, she pressed her Cheek to
the window -pane andspoke no more.
They parted at Victoria, Harry
.tutting her into a hansom and tell-
ing her that lie wanted a long walk
before he should return to Ryder
Street. She made no demur, and
:ere was haunted by the expression of
her eyes as she drove away.
• "Sire's a ripping good sort, -Dolly
Is," lie muttered as he left the shel-
ter of the station. "But Maurice

Carrington is disengaged I should
like to speak to him."
Gresley looked surprised. "I'm
afraid that he will 'be busy for an
hour or so. Hadn't you better send
in and ask when he will be disengag-
ed?"
Harry did so, and in a minute
came back the message—"Mr. *Car-
ri•ngton will see Mr. Kerr in twenty
minutes' time,."
The young man's face was slightly
set when presently he went along
the corridor to his principal's room.
He knocked lightly; and he was bid-
den enter, but Carrington did not
at once lco.k around. Harry slid not
know that the moment was as awk-
ward for Carrington as for himself.
"Good -morning, sir," said Harry
In a quiet, restrained voice. •
Carrington wheeled rouiul in 111;
chair, his face wearing the sphinx -
like look which Harry bad never
before encountered. It made a mask
over the usually handsome and kind-
ly,. features.
"Good -morning. Well, what is it?
The tone was distant, the whole
personality of the man hostile, the
eyes cold.
"I came to speak to you 'about the
incident yesterday, sir—to explain,"
he blurted out, and then came to a.
standstill, miserably conscious that
indeed there was nothing to explain,
that the facts were too obvious to he
explained anyway.
"It was unfortunate that you
chose Brighton for your day's outing
yesterday, herr, but otherwise 'there
does not seem to be anything to ex-
plain," he said coldly.
The lad's colour rose. "Ch, but,
sir, I can't let it rest at this. It was
beastly for n1e—"
"And for us!" interpolated CAt'-
rington coldly. "It spoiled the day
for Miss Hunte. She was -not like
herself for the' rest of the day."
"Mr. Carrington, don't you • think
that I might have been told she was
coming—that it would have be n
very kind had you let me know? I
Might have seen her and—and Miss
Carrington at Brighton."
Instantly Carrington's face became
set as steel. "We will • leave my
daughter's name out, if you please,"
he said quite pointedly." But since
you have broached the subject of
your own free will, 1 may tell you
that it was sirnply because of my
being aware that you had paid no
heed to lily former warning that I

Carrington made no reply, blit
only gave his shoulders a slight
Shrug.
• "May I ask whether Miss i•Iume
is living at Brighton or in London,
and whether I have your permission
to call upon her while sine is your
visitor?"
"No," replied Carrington, unex-
pectedly—"you havo not."
,Harry's face flushed,
"She is one of my oldest friends,
Mr. Carrington, and unless she her-
self forbids tne, I have still tate right
to call updn her if 1 feel disposed.
She. at least, would bo fair and juet
enough to give a man a chance to
expinin."
The choice of words was nnforun-
ate, and they seemed to exasperate
Bent1e Carrington strangely. Harry
was, of course, unaware that It was
the keen and painful anxiety of yes-
terday, which gave the acrimonious
edge to his usually fine temper.
Carrington p.einted to the door.

CHAPTER XI>
(xriscldn. Intervenes
Maurice avoided Harry Kerr all
next day. In -premises so spacious as
those of Blandfieid House there was
no difficulty in doing so and he
managed to have a good deal of
business with outsiders. Along With
other members of tile .firm he at-
tended a Board meeting at Cannon
Street Hotel and lunched there,
He knew perfectly well that he
was bound to have it out with Harry
Kerr, but he was not anxious to has -
ton the event. His scheming hail
succeeded far beyond itis eN.peetat
ions. A. fete skilful words dropped
at Brighton with a well -feigned
senl,blence of reluctance and regret.
had confirmed tete impression left
by Harry Kerr's .appearance in such
company, and bad destroyed his.
reputation.
Griselda was at once furious and
miserably disappointed. Harry's up -
parent deterioration tools the joy
out of her life and even Jack ,
Car-
rington could not console her, Be
was sttrprised indeed at the evident
depth of her feeling for Ilarry Kerr
whom the regarded as an .overgrown
and rather conceited boy who would
not be harmed by a little adversity.
Even the new love could not dim -
Wish Griselda's loyalty for an old
friend, and she spent an almost
sleepless .night, making plans for
getting into touch with Harry Kerr
for the purpose of talking straight-
ly to him. ?
A woman prompt in action—giv-
en to deeds rather than to words -
She went up to London by a midday
train and took a hansom to the city:
Unacquainted with the part of
London where the business of the
world is chiefly carried on, Griselda
was astonished with its bustle and
stir, She arrived at Biandfield
House at half past •three, and, nn_
aware that her action was unusual
walked in and asked for Mr. Kerr.
The lift boy took her up to the
first floor and left her in the wait-
ing room while lie went to inquire.
Jack Carrington, returning at the
moment from the Board meeting,
caught a glimpse of a women'a skirt
through the half -open door, and im-
mediately went in. •
"You here, Miss ,Hume! Why,
what has happened?"
Griselda's face was flushed and
her eyes rebellious. She was desir-
ous of redressing •witat she felt to
be wrong. She would not dismiss
her old comrade out of her lire un-
beard.
