Nelson got no further. 'The colonel
threw something at him. He wasn't
sure what it was, he said ; but it
hit the wall an awful whack just
behind his head.
"Vetch the constant° 1" he cried.
And Nelson hastened to give Rod-
way, the constable, his chance,
But even When - all the police of
the district were enlisted in the
search nothing came of it. Gwen
had disappeared, and that was all
about it. For weeks they dragged
ponds and tramped coppices in dis-
mal quest of a girl's dead body.
TI/nr the colonel himself seemed re-
signed to the worst. On the whole,
Soutitehurch thought, he had less
difficulty in bearing this particular
trouble than was quite seemly in a
father. Sir Angus Mackay express-
ed the same opinion, he gave up
calling at the Hall. He had been
very much in love, and reckoned the
colonel's emotions half-hearted com-
pared wine his own.
"It leiree rne, man," he said fin-
ally, "to see the rooms here with-
out her ; and so, Savage, you'll
miderstand me when I say I'd rather
not come here again just yet. Hap-
py to See you in Green Street any
time you're in tows ; and there's al-
ways a gun and a mount for you at
fllack Lodge„ Ross -shire."
After this the colonel settled down
to his loneliness, and didn't improve
under the discipline.
Fifteen months passed, and the
only important • change in South -
church „ wrought by these months
was in Mrs. Alice Parsons, of the
Pirs Coteage, where the Soutlichurch
Moor begins at the cross-roads.
Mrs. Alice Parsons bad for years
been considered "not all •. there."

she murmured, with, another of her

The other occurrence happened at
six o'clock that evening. It WaS

guffawing coarsely over their cigars,

Where is he?" she asked at
length.
"He's very-, very ill," said Gweri.
"he's in a hospital, mid has been
for weeks. And I've -we've hOthing t
left, and so P-ve put my pride on one
side and have come to see my
father. It will be hard; but it. must
be done, for all our sakes."
"You just make yourselver coney"
said Mrs. Parsons, "while I see to
the tea. Things are a -coming to
pass. And tbe colonel paid me a
visit this morning -that he did.
He's as hard as a nut ; but, gra-
cious me !"-she shouted the Words
-"I'm forgetting myself. I've got
him under my thumb !"
"What do you mean ?" asked
Gwen wearily.
"Mean !" cried 'Muddled Alice,
clapping her hands. "You'll soon
see. get iny hat on the mo-
ment you've had a cup. Didn't my
poor mistress always say that
Southchurch Hall and everything
was yours when she died ? She'd
made it youre."
"It's no use thinking about that,"
said Gwen.
Muddled Alice peered elfishly at
the girl.
"Isn't it now ?" she asked. -"Well,
we'll see. But I do hope he don't
beat.you, or anytItiog-Tom Brash,
I mean."
"Beat me !" said Gwen, with a
smile. "It's not likely."
"And you love him still, Miss
Gwen ?"
"Of course 1 But we' won't talk
about it. I'll sleep here to -night, if
you'll let me ; and to -morrow I'll
see my father."
"No, Miss Gwen -to -night."
"Well," said Gwen, "I don't sup-
pose it matters."
And so, at eight o'clock, they set
out for the hall, Gwen still with her
baby.
The colonel had dined, and was
alone with the port when the ser-
vant came to say that Mrs. Brash
wished to see them. The servant
was a new one, and took tbe 113CS--
room. And there the servant was

clerkly hand.
"I came with her, sir," replied
Muddied Alice; "and rve found It

had long troubled bin.
"This, father," seideGwen simply,
"Is what she nneaus."
She gave him the envelope.
The three stpod silent while the
Colonel opened and glanced at the
paper. But there was a fourth who
could not keep silent. Gwenes baby
began to cry,
"Bush, dear! Hush, my Am-
brose" Gwen whispered to it.
And then the Colonel looked up,
and at the child. He, too, was Am-
brose; and, whether it was this
mark of Gwen's affection for him, or
his own conscience's urging, or just
a mail 'of the world's realisation of

Muddled Alice saw what was com-
ing. She held out her mans for the
child.
"I'll take it," she said, "the poor
little precious!"
Gwen laid herself in her father's
arras, and her tears this time flowed
freely.
"We've all got to look at things
