"When Hearts Cahn and"
By Elizabeth York Miller
CHAPTER. XLII.—(Contd)
The touch of the dogs tongue, both
comforting and repugnant, brought
eats. back to herself. She pushed him
away, laughing hysterically, Both
Hector- and Hugo were safe.
Gaunt hacl reached the bottom and
was staggering towards her•in a half-
-drunken fashion, Hugo lying across
his shoulder as inert as a dead man,
with head and anus and feet d'rang-
1ing,
"Something's the matter with him,'
Gaunt gasped out, as they subsided
40n to the rough. grass, "Perhaps it's
only a faint."
Carlo brought the lantern and they
lighted it, Bright as; the moonlight
was, . its radiance had an unnatural
gsraiity,'and it seemed impossible to
tell just what had happened to Hugo.
Thelantern, flashed upon his dead -
fade revealed little or nothing
beyond.alae obvious fact that he was
' tnconscious,

"Can't you make him swallow a lit-

Gaunt shook his head, . "I don't
think' I'd .better try; if it's what I
imagine.
rlWhat ?"
"A: clot on the brain I think."
Jean sat beside Hugo holding one
of his unresponsive , hands, Gaunt
washed his 'blood -'caked face, lit his
pipe and sat down on a rock to wait
for the dawn and the doctor. Tito
was a little bored, He yawned and
went to sleep at Httgo's feet.

long before a telegram. was despatch-
ed. Her mother's voice had reached her
in some mysterious way. How ow thank-
ful' she was to have obeyed the sum'

her. She took off her hat and jacket
and travel -stained gloves. Had the
glanced into one of the Venetian 'u mir-
rors it 'would have told her tlaat she
was not looking her best; that, for
one thing, she needed a wash. But
this ,was not a moment when mirrors

It seemed .that Clementine was
gone a long time. Pattering footsteps
sounded in the quiet house, a bell
rang, liadcleliine looked out inquisi-
tively from a swing door, leading to
the kitchen quarters,and withdrew af-
ter a somewhat prolonged scrutiny of
the visitor.
Then Hector Gaunt cane up the
stairs from the little library-roomnin
the basement, and he, too, was sur-
prised that Alice had arrived so soon,
She did not explain to him how it had
happened., : but questioned' him anxi-
ously about the situation in the house-

and there was a crit on his forehead
which had been bandaged with piaster,
He took her into the drawing -room
and told her as best he could; refer•

to be her father, as Hugo. They had
gone on a picnic to Castle d'Appio,

There had been tronblein getting him

remained unconscious ever since: He
