(All rights Reserved) Amricai Il W When they were halfway up the avenue the Doctor overtook them in his dog -cant, and, throwing the reins to the groom, jumped down and join - the procession. After glancing at T.ilith, and bidding her not trouble herself, as he would not bother her wibh questions or examination till they reached the house, he went on and took the burden of entertaining Mrs. Mansfield off Lord Lochfinnan's shoulders by beginning to ask the .American lady particulars of her stepdaughter's accident. When they reached the house they found Cecily waiting for them on the steps. Doctor Meade now took command of the carrying -chair, its occupant, and its bearers. "Will you lead the way, Lady Cecily?" he said; and Lord Loch - finnan and his son fell back. "I had he blue -room and dressing room and the pink -room prepared," explained .Lady Cecily to Doctor Meade as she led the way upstairs, while Mrs. Mansfield followed behind her stepdaughter. "They all three communicate with each other, and so they would be most suitable." "You have always a good head on your shoulders," replied the Doctor approvingly. The pink -room, into which Lilith was now carried was a pleasant medium-sized room with a pretty e, brass bedstead, a pink wallpaper, and flowered chintzes. It looked more modern than the adjoining blue -roost and dressing -room which Cocily showed her guest and which, though also charming in its way, with its old-fashioned mahogany four -post bed, quaint willow -pattern china chinitz, and old Chippendale presses, looked far more in keep- ing with the old hall downstairs. Having shown Mrs. Mansfield the rooms and summoned the head house maid, to whom she gave directions that she was to set aside all her oth- er work to attend to this set of rooms Cecily retired and sent her own maid to give Doctor Meade weiat further help he might require he his attend- ance on the patient. She went downstairs and found her father waiting in the drawing - room to hear the Doctor's report. Mr. Scott, who had gone home to dress for dinner by another route titan by the main gate, now arrived. He had heard rumours of what had happened, and when the circumstan ces had been explained to him he shook his head as disapprovingly as Quiller had done, and expressed his Letterheads Envelopes Billheads And all kinds of Business Stationery printed at The Post Publishing House, We will do a job that will do credit to your business.

My dear Scott!" said Lord Lochfinnan. "She is a very handsome woman, and undeniably a lady." "I should prefer to hear she was not a lady at all, and very plain," an- swered Mr. Scott, smiling, "I have no faith in these handsome American women who roam about the world with no visible belongings." "She has a daughter, a very pretty daughter," said Haddis, "and a maid whom we have telegraphed for. What more do you want?" "Has she got a husband?" inquir- ed Mr. Scott. "We didn't ask her that," said Cecily, laughing. "She has got a wedding -ring, and, moreover, as she has a stepdaughter, it is clear that she has or must have had at some time a husband. Possibly she is a widow." "I distrust that kind of widow," insisted Mr. Scott; but he spoke half jocosely. Soon afterwards Doctor Meade came down and reported that Miss Mansfield's injuries were in no way serious, but that it would not be ad- visable to move her the next day, as Mrs, Mansfield was anxious to do. "It is a simple fracture," explain- ed the Doctor, "and the ankle is not broken, only severely strained. But she is rather a delicate girl, and more rare is necessary with her than would be the case with her stepmother, for instance." "You need have no fear, Doctor," said Lord Lochfinnan, "We will not let Thor leave this house until you pronounce it desirablethat she should go." "I don't think you will induce Mrs. Mansfield to stay as long as that." replied the Doctor. "Oh, we will see about that!" said Lord Lochfinnan. "You must stay and dirge, Doctor. I am going up to dress now. Cecily, go and find out if Nike. Mansfield will come down to dinner, or if she would prefer to 'nave her dinner sent upstairs." Cecily accordingly went and knocked at the door of the him: - room. On being !bidden to enter she went in and found Mrs. Mansfield occupied with her toilet. She re- plied to Cecily's question without a moment's hesitation. "Of course I will come down! Doctor Meade has given Lilith a com- posing drauglht. She will sleep, and not want me." She paused a mom- ent and then added, "But I wonder if you could lend me something to wear? I have only this dusty gar- ment." "I shall be delighted to lend you anything!" answered Cecily, though she looked rather doubtfully at her guest's fine figure. Cecily was nearl- ly as tall as Mrs. Mansfield, but she was of a more slender build and had the elienness of may youth. Mrs. Mansfield rightly interpreted tine glance and laughed. "You are thinking," she said "that I sihould not find it easy to get into your clothes; but you don't know what a gift I have for adaption, May I come to your room and see?" She followed Cosily to hot bed- room, and Cecily': maid brought out her young mistress's wardrobe for the inspector of the visitor. Mrs. Mansfield chose a wlhite silk skdtt and a white embroidered crepe tto Chine shawl, together with an antique silver belt, ' THE BRUSSELS POST WEDNESDAY, MAY Stlh, 1928. When she appeared in the drawing room twenty minutes later Cecily A$.acked by „av s'hn had certainly made good star Least that elle had a gift for a- dapting other people's clothes to her own purpose. She had so draped the shawl about her shoulders, confining !t. at .the waist with the silver belt, that it formed a very graceful bod- ice, falling in folds over the white skirt and leaving her beautiful arms bare from the shoulder. Lord Lochfinnan rose and advanc- ed to meet his guest with a com- pliment on her punctuality. "My daughter is not clown yet," he said. "Ali!" said Mrs, Mansfield. "That is niy fault, I fear," But even es she spoke Cecily en- tered, and Lord Lochfinnan led Mrs. Mansfield into the dining -room. CHAPTER VI. Mrs. Mansfield admired the dining - room, with its old oak, its tapestry, its family portraits. "I do like the oldness of every- thing in England," she observed, looking around with approving eyes. "But," she added noticing the Tur- key carpet, which had obviously seen its best days though, equally obvious- ly, it had been of superlative quality in those best days, "I think you over- do it in some things.

A moment after she saw two figures cross ;the lawn from the side of the house where the garden door was and walk towards the cedar. She could see in the dim light the glow of their cigarette -ends. She knew it must be Mr. Scott and Haddis, who had gone out to smoke a cigarette before going to bed. I They stopped by the cedar and stood talking. Cecily could just hear the murmur of their voices, but could not distinguish a word. bout her. After dinner she went upstairs to see her stepdaughter, and so bade good night to her hosts, saying tiltat she must let the staid go down to her supper, and that she would not come down again if they would ex- cuse her. Doctor Meade was easily persuad- ed to stay to make a fourth for bridge. and soon atter, when the four men were settled down to this, Cecily too betook herself to bed, with the excuse that she was tired. Before going to her own room she stopped at Mrs. Mansfield to inquire if her guests had all they wanted for the night. The American greeted her cordial- ly. "We want nothing more tonight, I assure you," she said. "I have told your maid and the housemaid, wlho were both kind enough to wait to sit u pwith Lilith, that it is quite unnecessary. I shall lie on the sofa here tonight, I can sleep anywhere and in any circumstances, and can wake in an instant; moreover ,your sofas are as comfortable as most people's beds!"
