"'You will receive a wire saying when I siltali retarn," and leaving the dry 'little woman, open-mouthed at this sudden depart- ure, the young moan hastened away. Instead oaf ,going straight to the 'vil- lage, 'lie took a roundabout road to the camp on the verge of Abbot's Wood. Here the+found the vagrants in a state of great excitement, as Lord Garvington had that 'afternoon sent notice by a ,gamek'e'eper that they mere to leave his land the next day, Taken up :with his owat :private troub- les, Lambert did not 'pay midi+ -atten- tion to those of the tribe, and looked about for Chaldea. He finally saw her sitting by one .of the ifires, in a 'dejec- ted attitude, and touched her on the shoulder. At kon'ce, like a disturbed an- imal, he leaped to Iher'feet. "The ryel" said Chaldea, with a •gash, and a !hopeful hook on her face, "Give rte three days !before you say anything to Pune," said Lambert in a low voice, and a 'furtive look round. "Yoe understand." ".No," said the girl lbo'ldly. ''°Unless you mean*" "Never mind what I mean," inter- rupted the man hastily, 'for the was de- termined not to 'commit himself, "'Will von 'hold your tongue for three 'days?". Chaldea looked 'hard at his face, up- on -which the red firelight ;played +bri't;htly, but 'could not read what was in his mind. However, she thought that the request (hawed a sign of yielding, and was a mat't'e .confession that he knew rile was. in 'her power. "1 give coat three days," she 'tnrntured•.

But she well knew, and con- fessed it 'to herself with a sigh, that there would be no spurning on her part, since her wayward love was ,stringer than her 'pride, "Did the gentile !hiring the 'grid, my -i,ter." asked a harsh voice and she raised her head to see tiara's hairy face bent to her ear. "No, .brother. He goes to Lumina to get the 'gold. Did I not play may fish in fine style?" "1 molt it for truth, sister!" said Kern, looking at her searchin•g?ly. Chaldea nodded wearily. "I 'ant a great witch, as you ran see." "Yost twill he my rotni -when the gold .chinks in our pockets?" "Yes, for ,certain. 'brother. It's a true fortaute!" "Before .our camp is changed, 'sis- ter?" persisted- the man greedily. "No; for to -morrow we may take Ste road, since the great lord .orders nos off his land. And yet---" 'C-'hakelea stood up, suddenly recollecting what had 'heat said thy -Pine's wife. "Why sip -gild we leave?' "Thr rabbit can't kick dust in the foe's fit sister" said Tiara, mean- ing that Garvington was too strong for the gypsies, "There are ra'hihits and ralnbit," aid Cd +,plea sententiously. "Where 1 - Hearne. brother??" "In 'Gentilla's tent with a Gorgious gentleman, He's trading a horse with the swell rye, and wants stn meddling with his Cline, sister." "I Meddle now," sna'p'ped Chaldea, and walked away in her usual ,free and graceful manner. 'Kara shrugged his shoulders and theft took refuge in talking to his violin, to which he re- lated his ,doubts lof the 'girl's truth. And he smiled 'grimly, as he thought of the recovered knife wthich ;WAS again enu(ily +hidden under 'hisewcath- er-worn green coat.

"Does the 'camp' travel to -morrow, brother?" "Perhaps, yes," retorted Pine ab- ruptly. "And perhapsno, brother, if you use your ;power." Silm'er raised 'bis 'faint 'eye'brow"s .and 'looked questioningly at his employer, els if to tastk what Phis cryptic sentence meant. Pine knew only too well, since Ohaldea had impressed ;him thorough- ly with -the fact that she had over- heard kmany di his secrets. Therefore he 'did not waste time in argument. Unit nodded quietly. "Sleep in peace, sister. The .camp shall stay, if you wish it." "I do .tvfsh .it!" She ;glanced at Sil- ver ,and changed her speech to Rom- any.

"Put ,ince I am your ,secretary*" "You are secretary to Herbert Pine, not to Ishmael i -Hearin," 'broke in the anter man "And when Romany is spoken it tconcer-n.s the last."

"Toes a •olever moan like you go itt that emancipated woman for -exper- ience?" "Emancipated women are usually very clever," said Pine dirylly, "as- they combine ,the togir of the nnale ;with nate intuition of the-fe.ma'le. And I 'have observed myself, itt many cases, that kindness 'brings ,ret ingratitude." Silver 'looked; 'sullen and uneasy.

"You'll kill yourself 'i'f yon five this 'damp 'colonial sort .of tent -life," was ,his 'olbs'ervation, "Here, take a drink of 'wafter, Pine did so, and 'wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his rough coat.

"Garvington—as I knew he would —has ordered us off the land, As the wood is readily arsine, since I hold it as secu:riay, (having paid tiff the. mortgage I 'don't choose that he, should deal with it as thonigh it were his own.
