Then Griselda gave him a frank hand in good-bye and she went back to the other room, where Jack patiently waited her commands. "What does Grisley say?" "Nothing." She gave her foot a little stamp. "But be has got some bowels of compassion, and he will help it he can. Harty won't come back here, Mr. Jack." "Oh, come, wily do you say that?' "1 feel it here," said Griselda with a sharp little breath as she laid her hand on her heart. CHAPTER XX The Durk Hour ,Griselda. left Biaildfield House, promising to meet Bentley earring- ton at Victoria, so that they might go down together by the six o'clock train. She declined to say how she intended to occupy herself during the two intervening Hours, but, as she seemed to be in doubt or hesita- tion as to her procedure, they suffer- ed her to go. She simply hailed the first hansom that she saw in Corn - hill, and instructed the man to drive hear to Ryder Street. Unfamiliar with the byways of London, Grisel- da had no way of getting from place to place except by cab, and she was in a reckless mood. In about half an hour's time the hansom deposit- ed,her at the door of Mrs. Briscoe's house in Ryder Street. and Grisel- da rang the bel]. She was not at all troubled by the unconventionality of the step she had taken. Griselda at no time was a conventional person. She was seriously concerned about • Harry Kerr, and she was inwardly convinc- ed that something had gone far wrong with him. She was not in the least surprised, therefore, when the German waiter who answered the door informed her that Mr. Kerr was not .at home. • "But you expect him back to some meal, perhaps?' said Griselda, eager- ly', and then, observing that the • 'man's stock of English was limited, she addressed 11ini in his own tongue —an expedient which wrought an immediate change in his demeanour. Instead of looking solid, he now be- came voluble, and explained at some length and With much gesticulation, that Harry Kerr had been in the house all the afternoon, packing up his belongings, and that he had left for good about half an hour before. "I's the lady of the house in, and can 1 speak with herd" asked Gris- elda, and at the very moment of her o 411-1117-1111 off Whatever your plans the future, the 3tto est foundation up which to build is syste, atic saving in the ban ► THE Bank of Montreal of: fers safety, convenience and o coo u.nd interest for those p . who build up their savings accounts here.

Mrs. Briscoe knew a lady when she saw one, and she was most re- spectful to the; tall, well-bred, some- what imperious visitor at the door. "If you'll please to walk in, ma- dam, I will explain to you as well as 1 can about Mr. Kerr." Griselda, followed the good lady itt- to the small back-sitting-rtbotn, and stood by the table while Mrs. Bris- coe spoke in her precise way. ",lir. Kerr has left Iny house on a moment's notice, paying, I may say, a week's rent in lieu of warning. He seemed flurried and even angry, but of course, it is not my business to. question gentlemen, or to .pry into their affairs. I hope to know niy place better than that." "He gave you no explanation then?" "None, except that he .bad to leave hurriedly." "Did 11e say where he was going? I don't suppose that he mentioned Scotland?" said Griselda, catching at a faint straw of hope. Mrs. Briscoe book her admirably coiffured head. 4 "No, madam, and, as I have said, it was not my business to ask, Gen- tlemen must have their freedom in my house. They do have it, and that's why I'1n always full up. I'm rattler upset myself about Mr. Kerr's leaving. I haven't had such a thing happen here for years. Has—has the young gentleman had trouble at home?"" "He has some trouble," said Gris- aicla vaguely and disappointedly. He seemed upset, you say?" "Very much so, but Mr. Maurice will be home for dinner, and I'm in hopes that he'll be able, to throw some light on it." 'Griselda thanked the woman and left the house. - Her visit to London, undertaken with the very best intentions, had proved utterly futile. Atter the door of Mrs. Briscoe's house closed upon her, she stood for a moment irreso- lute on the step, looking vaguely at the cabman, still waiting at the kerb. "If I knew where that creature lived, I should go and see her now i I wonder If the cabman would know.' But, contemplating his unpromis- ing visage, she decided that to make any inquiry of him would be a wast- ed effort. There was nothing to be done now 'brit to return to the., station, and wait there till Bentley Carrington carne to take her back to -Brighton. So full was her mind of Harry Kerr that: Jack was pushed out of it for the time being. Griselda. 'was very single -hearted; . she gave herself 'holly to one thing at a tithe. She was bitterly disappointed, and she would have been still further 'cha- grined had' she known how narrow- ly she had missed Harry Ker on two 'occasions that day. She had done &ter best, but she hated to think of Blanche's questioning eyes, and she hated still ,more to think of Essen - don and the dear mother Waiting and hoping there, all unconscious of these bitter undercurrents threatening to engulf her darling's life. 'Gi;iselda felt that, perhaps, after all, it might be a. storm in a teacup. Her strong common-sense inclined her to take such a view, and'she had sufficient knowledge of the world and fearlessness of its censure, to be able to face the facts. Harry had been indiscreet, guilty of much fool- ishness, perhaps, but he could be forgiven, and now was the time to catch him in the rebound, when he was feeling hurt and sore and tempt- ed to crown his folly by some irre- trievable act of rashness, As she sat in the dreary waiting -room at Victoria, Griselda casually wondered why Providence was so slow to in- tervene, why He permitted so many' of the untoward happenings In lite, and allowed people 'to much such foolish mistakes. - • Of the actors in this'little drama, which out of email beginnings marched on relentlessly to great is- sues, the person who had passed the most uncomfortable day was un- doubtedly Lionel Maurice. He had not expected these complications, and though yesterday had done much to forward his particulate machinations, he was not wholly prepared for the consequences. IIe felt relieved rather than otherwise when he heard that Kerr had not returned to business after lunch. He was in no particul- lar haste to encounter 'him. Ile fish- ed tor an invitation to go down: to Brighton again with his uncle, but his hints were drily received. Bentley Carrington was seriously. disconcerted by the Herr incident, and .for the first tine he was inclin- ed to be 'a trifle suspicious of Itis nephew in connection with it, But it was not his Way to take action or even to speak until he .was sure of his ground. Since he had seen Gris- elda he had regretted his Curt dis- missal of th8 young man "in the morning, and he waited at Cornhill until the last moment In the hope that IJarny might put in an appear. twee.

But that note only left Maurice's possession to be deposited, in the flames at his hand. "I suppose you will be seeing young Kerr to -night at Ryder Street? Carrington remarked as he and Mau- rice left the office together. "I expect so. We generally dine together." "Give him that note, will you? See that he has it as soon as possible. Maurice took the note and put it in his breast pocket, promising to deliver it at the earliest possible moment. "I'll have to take the best hansom I can find," said Carrington. "I haven't left myself much time to catch the train, and Miss Hunte will be waiting for me, Good -night, Lion- el. I hope that we may yet be able to lick that young cub into shape for his mother's sake. I was a bit too severe on him this morning, but his is the particular brand of folly that I have never had. any patience with and it seems to be commoner amoung our young men nowadays than it used to be." "He'll pan out all right yet. He's a bit of a fool at present," said Lionel, in the indolent, nonchalant" way which put so many people off the true scent. "Good -night, Uuncle Bentley. I shouldn't hurry up from Brighton if I were you. Take all tete good of it you can." Carrington nodded, jumped in, and drove off (to be continued) MR.
