On this foundation her vivid imagination built , up' a little- romance. Dan was unhappy because Westerby had-robbed him of the love of some girl w-ho had attrac­ ted him in Australia. ■ 7 Tha.t would account for everything!

Those are a-.bit-, unusual,“you know, Prescott.”! Well, what’s going to happen How?” asked Dan. ‘I expect I shall hear from the lady’s solicitor,” Cairns ’said; “‘If- he’s a man-of good repute we can probably arrange matters without any unpleas­ antness or publicity.. The girl had a ■genuine" grievance, yod know.’’ ■ “She has been badly treated,” Dan agreed.' “I made a mistake; but it wd-uld be a hundred times -worse mis­ take to marry her.”,. . “That’s out . of the question, of course,” Cairs said. “She’ll not break her heart, though, she took to you very easily, I should say.
