CHAPTER XXXII,--•C'ont'd,)
Something queer in ` the tone of
Ardington's voice—something quite
apart from the odd dragging in of a
Scriptural quotation—made Merring-
ton glance sharply at Ardington's
face. And curiously enough, Herring-
ton saw Ardington smiling pleasantly.
The Ardington of the portrait had
given place to a gentle, sorrowful
Ardington.
"He's thinking about that ghost,"
said Merrington to himself. "He
thinks he is going to die," and sud-
denly he felt very sorry for Arding-
Ton.
"Yes," we will make the most of the
daylight," he replied. "It will be a
jolly drive. But are you sure you
feel up to it?"
"Of course. Why not?"
"Oh, I thought you looked rather.
tired, Ardington. I don't want you to
tire yourselfin order to give me
pleasure,"
"My dear old -chap ,we haven't been
thirty miles yet, and we shan't have
been seventy by the time we get home.
What are you talking about?"
Certainly Ardington did not seem
at all tired nor even odd in his speech
as they proceeded on their journey.
On the contrary, Ardington seemed
to be in tt to
Again and eagain he slowed downthecar and pointed out some bit of seen
ery or some effect of light on hill and
field and tree, or some glimpse of the
Channel and the distant white cliffs
of France. And when at last they
reached Canterbury he suggested that
they should look at the cathedral and
some of the old houses in the town.
Ardington seemed to be intensely in-
terested in every detail of architec-
ture. He took Merrington to see some
of his (Ardington's) work in one of
the churches. And then he suggested
that they should have dinner at a
beautiful old inn and drive back in
the dark.
"It'1I be a change for us," he said,
"and I can phone to the house and
tell them not' to keep dinner for us."
Merrington offered no opposition to
this scheme. He had no desire to re-
turn to Dedbury at all. Now that he
had overcome his fear of motor -cars,
he found keen delight, in the swift'
movement. He would have liked to.

rt off •there and then on a tour
through England and Wales. His de-
sire for peace and solitude had left
him. This little trip had whetted his
appetite for fresh scenery and build-
ings and faces.
Theyhad an excellent dinner and
shared a bottle of champagne between
them. A.rdington was as normal as
any man could hope to be. It was
not until the waiter had brought the
coffee that anything happened to dis-
turb the pleasant atmosphere.
"Have you any pink noyeau?" Ard-
ington asked the old waiter, f
"No, sir—I'm sure we haven't, sir. b
There used to be some, but no one s
ever asks for it now." a
"Well, you might ask the good land- h
Iord if there's any left in the cellar.",
"Yes, sir, but I'rn sure—1 haven't F
seen such a thing for years." !d
The waiter departed, and the two h'
men Iooked at each other across the so
table. Merrington's eyes were alight;
fierce resentment and his face' eh
we very pale. 11r
- "Isn't this—rather cruel?" he' said 1•
in c�`Jlow Voice.

"I'll leave that to my doctor, A
ington."
"Ah, but the health of your
and soul."
Merrington was silent and lit
cigarette. The waiter returned wi
a bottle in his hand.
"There is just this one, sir," he sa
"but there's no call for it. And
afraid, sir, that if we open the bot
you'll have to buy it."
"How much?"
"Two pounds, sir. It's very scarce
indeed."
"I'll buy it. And you needn't open
it. I'll take it away with me as it is.
Bring me the bill, please."
The waiter left the room, and Ard-
ington said, "I'm sorry, Merrington.
I don't want to hurt you, But I do
want you to put all the past behind
Merrington was silent. He had
glanced at Ardington's face, and once
more it was the face of the portrait.
—grotesque and horrible. He was
sorry now that he had come on this
expedition. For a few moments he
even thought that he would stay the
night in Canterbury and let Arding-
ton return to Dedbury alone. But
was afraid of Ardington's annoyan
and of rousing Ardington's suspicio
Whatever happened he must not let
Ardington know that he was afraid
of him.
Ten minutes later the car had left
the town, and Ardington stopped it
and rose in his seat, and pointed at
the great towers of the cathedral
rising black against a moonlit sky.
"Look at that, Merrington," he
cried.
"Yes, it is very beautiful," Merring-
ton replied.
"It is not only beautiful, but it is
strong," said Arding�ttoon, and then,
after a pause,"1 wish I had been one
of those four knights who killed
Thomas a Becket."
"Why?„
"Because they were not afraid to
kill when they thought it was their
duty."�•
Herrington ni.ade no ,reply; .For a
few 'moments Ardington remained
standin with his gaze fixed on those
great Macre towers. Then he seated
himself at the wheel again, and
laughed, as he let in the' clutch.
"I've been talking nonsense," he
aid, "but I should like to have lived
n those days."
escape by the ex ly treed that he could
see, and Br dnevsie el from her . bed
and rang the bell, No one answered
it, and when she looked at the clock
she saw that it was barely helf-past
six. She went to her heebanere room,
where Fletcher 'was Sleeping, and
knocked at the door. She roused Met-
cher from her sleep, in a few min.:
Utes the house was astir.
13y eight o'clock the car was at the
doors and a few minutes later Ruth
was on her wayto Dedbery. She told
Fletcher that se was going to Brigh-
ton for the day, and it was not until
the e n, -uthr-
ton thatearwas shea tmilold PhilfrgliipsSoto go Batg
Trehorn's house at Dedbury, It seem-
ed to her that it would be getter for
her to call and see Trehgrn,; and find..
out if he knew anything about the
matter, Besides, she did not want to
meet Ardin ton again,
thought thatgTreho wuld wouldgoover
to the Priory and fetch Merrington, if
it was decided to warn Merrington
against Arlington's enmity and take
him away from Arlington's house.
And as the car, travelled north-
wards she was more and more certain
that Ardington was mad. If he had
been sane he would certainly have told
her the story in a very different fa-
shion. And, having told its he would
tart not have left her lying unconscious
on the sofa without saying a word to
Fletcher, She, Ruth;' had told Flet
rd_ cher that she had fainted after; Ard-
ington had left the room. . But that
had been only a lie to explain,are ex-
mind traordinary act of .brutality. Her
last memory had been that of Arding-
a ton's evil face looking down at her as
th he caught her in . his arms. Of . course
the man must have been mad. And
id, the terrible thing was that he had
I'm made no attempt to behave like an
tie ordinary human being. " It was as
though he did not care—as though the
hideous 'story had . been the beginning
of the end of everything, so far as
Ardington was concerned.
The car passed through Dedbury
and turned up the by -road that led to
Trehorn's house. And a few moments
later Ruth.,saw the entrance to the
drive. It seemed to her that the gate
was open, but as they passed between
the gate posts she saw that one of
them was leaning at on odd angle and
that the wooden gate itself had been
splintered into fragments, and that
the fragments had been heaped up on
a flower -bed.
And then a little farther on she saw
a queer thing that she did not: at first
recognize as a motor -car. It was ly-
ing close against the .wall; of the
he house, a yard to the left of the front
ce' door. Above it the bricks were smash -
n.' ed and loosened and black,- as though
they had been scorched with fire. '

CHAPTER XXXIII.
When Ruth's mind came out of the
darkness and she opened her eyes she
saw Fletcher bending over her, and
was first conscious of Fletcher as
something enormous against the light
o the lamp. There was a taste of
randy in her mouth and the strong
mell of ammonia and lavender front
battle of salts that Fletcher was
olding close to her face.
"I felt giddy," she explained to
letcher a minute later, `suite sull-
enly, directly after Mr. Ardington
ad left the room I sat down on the
fa and must have fainted."
Fletcher asked no questions. Piet-
er was capable and kindly and
Tactical. She insisted on her mis-
ees going to bed and Ituth offered
opposition.
Ruth did not wake until the next
orning and then she was able to

A Simple Explanation.
Why does sodawater rise In a straw
on which one sucks? This is clue to
the fact that when one sucks on -a
straw or tube a vacuum is produced
and the air pressure (about fifteen
pounds to the square inch) on the sur-
face of the soda -water forces it Up lin-
mediately into the straw.

TROUBLESOME WEEDS AS
QREEENS.
"If these ,country • men and, women
would learn that there are better
-spring: tonics in their meadows and
fields than can be found in any drug
storethey would be better 'off," a:
physician once: told me. Many house-
wives , would consider:: some of our
"noxious weeds" delieious if they were
sold on the market as early gree

succulent foods. But when these sa
plants maybe had for' -the Pickin

in low, marshy land.
Of all greens, wild mustard is the
favorite in our fancily. It is fine cook-
ed with other greens or by itself..It
is easy tvo.pick and easy to clean, and
makes a good substitute for Lettuce.
The young tender sprouts of milk-
weed make an excellent substitute for
asparagus. It is cooked the same and
served the same. When the leaves are
larger they make good greens.
me, Greens, are ready to use before the

ready to be canned, and as the house-!

she is later4n the season, it is a good
plan to can some for winter.—N. P.
they are seemed. These early greens
are wonderful blood purifiers and
should make a large part of our
spring diet.
There are many elaborate salads,
etc., fixe. which dandelions and other
spring greens play an important part,
but to: most of us the old-fashioned
"boiled greens" are the best. A simple
and reliable way to cook them is to
boil till tender in salted water, with
a good ham bone, or lacking this,
slices of bacon or salt pork may be
used. When tender,.. drain and cut
across several times. with a very sharp
knife. Pour ham, bacon or pork fry -
lugs, or melted butter, over them and
serve hot. If any are left, they may
be reserved by molding in tiny cups
and French dressing added just be-
fore serving.
Never be careless in cleaning the
greens. Each leaf should be washed
separately, and on each side.
Purslane may .be cooked alone or
with: other greens It makes a deli -
clone addition to stews and soups,
and is a member of the Portulace
family. It is one of the few greens
that is good when served either hot or
cold.
,Long before our garden greens are
ready for use—and sometimes before
they are planted—the sour dock is
ready for use. We consider it super-
ior to either kale or spinach, and al-
though some people object to using it
because of the acid contents, there is
in reality net enough acid in the plant
to be in the least injurious. These
.same people eat rhubarb without a
thought of danger from the acid, and
yet there is more acid in •a single stalls
of rhubarb than in enough sour dock
ter an entire meal. This plant will
furnish greens until there are plenty
of others to take its place.
Iambs' quarter is not liked by some
people because of its flat taste, .bat
when used with mustard, or some
other leaf with a sharp taste, is deli-
elous.
Wild sorrel is good as greens, and
also makes a delicious and unusual
soup when boiled very gently in rich
beef stock, Be very careful that it
does not boil to pieces. When tender,
serve with buttered toast.
Of course, everyone is familiar with
dandelions, but some people do not
know that it is the best plant known
for the liver,
Cowslips are one of the best greens
AN EFFECTIVE WINDOW
CLEANER.
Quite by accident I discovered a
very simple way to clean windows
that far surpasses anything I have
ever tried, and I have tried various
methods and .preparations.
Crumple a sheet of newspaper to
make a pad, moisten the surface
lightly with kerosene—it requires
very little—and when it has been ab-
sorbed by the paper, simply rub the,
pad over the window and your work
is done. The glass is clear as crystal
and has a brilliant polish. Windows
