Day after day, Charles', her groom., had smuggled this excellent journal into her ' room, "It is for the tennis, Charles; you know these Sporting- papers give so much more detail." "Yes, miss," said the innocent 'Charles. She read and re -read the account. Her• ideas albout the "market" were league. And what was the ring? She pictured a white -railed enclosure in which was penned a sinful body of men who shouted "Four to one!" or "A hundred and eight!" or whatever their outlandish cries 'were. ,But the mmys'teries of market flue- tu'ation, the 'money that came "tum- bling into ,the ring," all 'this was .be- yond her. Did the money actually tumilble into the ring and would not dishonestpeople pick it up! She recognized that the "paygate turn" was a piece of local toipography, but who was the co'mmissi'oner? And how did Brian (benefit? And if he took 1,000 to 140, why did he do it twice, why not do it all at •oncee?'. All these natters puzzled her and she detezlmined to seek elucidation. She ,made a careless pilgrimage to the stables and found 'Charlee hiss ing at a governess -ear without any particular 'provocation. She stood watching him for a long time, then: "Charles," 'she said: - The man straightened 'his back and touched his hat. "Charles, do• -ado you ever bet?" Charles grinned and wiped his fore- head with the !back o8 his hand. "Well, miss, I has a bet off an' "D'oyou ever bet a hundred and eight?" she ventured learuedly. "No, I don't say as I do;, miss," said the staggered Charles. "Have you been to the races?" "Yes, miss, often. 'I' !used to drive a gentleman before I drove your father," said Charles. She eyed 'him severely, but. saw no offence in his face. "You mean you used to drive a leisured gentleman, Charles," she corrected. "Did you ever see • the ring?" "Yes, miss." "And the money tuinblinlg about in the ring?" "Yes, !miss." "Wlho gets it, Charles?" "The bookmakers, miss," Charles sadly. 'Gladys was as wise as ever. She had the paper folded small behind her and now she produced it., "I was reading albout the cricket, Charles,'" she said. "You know how awfully interested I am in cricket -e:'," "I thought it wa's tennis, miss," said Charles. "I mean tennis," she said hastily. "Well, I was, reading• albout the ten- nis and I saw this, and I can't under- stand it a bit, 'Charles." ,She: painted out the' paragraph and Charles, wiping his moist hands on his breeches, took it from her. "Do you understand it?" she asked anxiously. • "Oh, yes, •miss," responded Charles con'fi•dently. "It • means miss, that this here •geriibdeman, Mr. Pallard, slipped' a horse in an overnight seller an' be., waited till the ring. found something hot, 'then he dropped in his commissioners to back it. You see, 'miss, they are in all the rings; an' the tick -tack Men got the wheeze and 'sent it back to Tatts, and then Mr. Pallard hung on for the horse to go out a 'bit; then he a,popped in again and laid the stuff on., Why, it's as -'plain as print!" he added proud- ly.' "Of course it is," said the poor girl and walked' back to th hourte, her head wfhirlin•g. n Since the night of -Brian's abrupt departure, and the scene which • had' followed the reappearance of Lord' Pinl•ow,•a •d'usby figure„dazed and wild' of speech, 'Brian, Pallard was a per- son who neither figured in the con- versations of Hill View, nor, as Mr. Callander had 'hopedin the most em- phatic •termus, occupied the thoughts, of his household. What control Mr. Callander exer- cised over 'hits children was in -the:. main 'confined to a sphere outside mental influence, and it may be ad- mitted that Gladys thought a great deal of her `courtesy" cousin --!for he was no more, sihe learnt, being the son of "`Grey 'brother-in-law's second wife."' This, her father had been at pains to inform her, d'eeming it nec- essary that she should not be afflict- ed with a sense of too close relation- s,hiip. It was very wrong 4f Brian to strike Lord Pinlow so brutally. said "I wentt after him to apologize•, for any unintentional.• rudeness," exclaim- ed the aggrieved peer, "and whilst I was talking he gave .me.a most un- expected blow; as a matter of fact, my head viras'turned at the time." Men, who know teen !best, believed him; Gladys was certain that he lied. To 'believe sudh a story would have meant the surrender of faith in her own judg•,ment. With the paper in her hand she made 'her way to her room, there to carefully cut out the paragraph re• lating to this strange relative of hers and to as carefully destroy the •re- matin'der &if the journal. !It 'wee evident, she 'thought, that one can only und'ers'tand :racing -'by experience, and by bitter experience, too. She looked at the paper again. There was row 'after row of neat ad- vertise't4t'en.ts, and they were headed: "Commission 'Agents.' She made a note of these' these were evidently the rnen who had, •done the extraord- inary thiitigs she had read albout, She was . sitting at Ther' solitary lunch, reading a ,book, when the fam- iliar. "humnlp-humlip" of her father's car valved !her. pille'gdt, up hastily, stuffing the book away under some •cushions -tor Mr. 'Oadl'an'71er held' very •strong views on malnutrition and literature. It was. unlike her father to return home so soon. Be- fore she could reach the door her rather was in the hall. "IH,a, Gladys'!" he said- .cheerfully, almost jov'i•ally• "has.'Glad'ys had her lunch, 'm? Gladys is surprised to see her father? Well, well!" He was indeed most cordial, and following her to the morning room wnere she had been taking her fru- gal nfeal, 'humming a little tune. "I've come home to speak to you," he said, "on •a little matter which af- fects us both very nearly." - He put on his ipince-nez and cart - fully took out his (pocket -hook. Front this he remnolved a slip of paper, carefully fielded in twee as carefully written. "I have sent this to the Morning fust," he said. She took the slip from his hand and read: "A marriage has been arranged 'between Miss GladyiEditih Callander, the only daughter of Mr. Peter Cal- lander, of Hill View Park, Seven- oaks, -and Lord Pinlow of Brickleton." She read it again, her brows knit. 'Then she looked up,•a little pa!e, and asked quietly: "Who has arranged•this?" Her father smiled. He was in- tensely satisfied with himself; his' attitude, as he leant •back in the big arm• -chair into which he had sunk, spoke of that satisfaction. "I arranged it, of course." "Of courser," she repeated, and nodded her head. . "He' has a very old title," he went on, "and at heart he is a very worthy and adlniralble Aman -!the ideal com- panion and protector for a young girl who knows very little of Life. A man of the world-" "I suppose he asked you?"' she said. All the ,'brightness of the day had gone at the sight of that slip of paper. Life had 'undergone a most revolutionary change. "Yes," he said ,complacently, "he asked me. Of course, he is not in a position to 'marry, but it is ,Bart of the-er-" "Bargain," she suggested. 'M,r. Callander frowned. "Arrangement is a better word," he solid; "it is !part of the arrange- ment -^or, let me put at • this way, I intend to .m'ak'e provision for you both." She handed the slip back tie him. "Father," she .said quietly, "you have 'Mistaken they, age in which we live ; in these enlightened years a girl usually chooses her own hus- band." " "Gladys will take the hu'sban,1 I want her to, take," said Mr. Callen- der icily, "and there is an end to it." "Very well," she replied, and left hien with no other' word. . Slie went Upstairs to her room, pr.t on•.her hat and coat, and left the house 'without his realizing the- fact that she had gone out. She was back again in a quarfer of an .hour, more cheerful. He did not return to the City that day, but saw nothing of Gladys till Horace ' returned from town. They were taking tea on the lawn before he spoke to his daughter again. "Pinlow is coming to. dinner to- night," he said•; "he will want to speak 'to you." "If .he had spoken to me before," she said, "he would have saved him= self a great deal of trouble, and you a, great humiliation. I would no more think of !marrying Lord Pin - low than I should think of marrying your, valet." He stared at • her dulrrnb'founded, speechless.. ":Bitt, but!" he splattered angily; "I have passed my word -it will be announced to-'miorrovw.'le "I have telograp,hed •oto bhp pap to cancel the announcement," she sal( simply. He was purple with rage.' There was nobody present save the three, for Horace was a silent, if interest- ed, spectator. ' "Gladys," said, Mr. Callander;, get- ting his temper under control with an e#prt, "I am used to being obey- ed. You shall mary Pinlow, or you shall not remain under my roof..1-- 1 will put you -in a convent or some- thing, ---I will, ,he God! I will not be --lbgirl!„'be 'ow.beaterl by a fooletrof a "Don't be silly, Gladys," murmur- ed Horace. She caught a quick little' sob in her throat. "I would not marry Lord Pinlow to save my life," she sai'd desperately. "Go to your room!" said the ex- asperated IMr. Callander. CHAPTER VI THE IRIAiCE AT WINDSOR 'Pinlow, calling that night, skid not see her, guesaed from the lame apol- ogies offered by his• prospective father-in-law the reason for her ab- sence,' and was amused. "I like 'elm with a little fire," he laughed; "don't ' (bother, 'Callender. She's a bit annoyed; I ought to have asked her first." "If she 'does not marry you," said Mr..Callander, "she is no daughter of Mine." It might have been an emnlbarreae- ing meal but for Pinlow's good spir- its. end, to employ Mr, Clalland'er's words; "his generous magnanimity." Half -way through dinner Pinkest in'terrupte'd a learned forecast as to the future of Penang Rubbers. his host 'had been buying these shares -- with an inconeequent''pie'ce of infor- enlati'on. "By the way, Callender, I've ar- ranged to worry that nephew of yours -thio was Pinlow's heavy form of pleasantry --"he's mining a horse at Windsor on !Saturday. I've got a man down at his training quarters and 'I've found out the- strength of the trial." "And you will p•Whlish the facts, of course," said Mr. Callander, who had the haziest ideas about racing, and only imagined that his nephew had. been detected in some aet of gross dishonesty. "Not exactly," laughed Pinlow, and condescended to explain. ,Pallard's horse was entered in a .sprint race. The horse had been gal- loped at the training quarters with another which was a well known pub- lic ;performer, and in this gallop Fix- ture ---such was the horse's name - had beater; the known performer eas- ily. "M.y tout had a deuce of a job to witness the trial," said ,Pinlow, "Pal - lard has taken a big park at Wick- ham; it is sur ended by a high wall and there i$, no way of seeing what goes on except by climbing over the wall. But he saw .the triad all right." "Well, what does all this mean?" asked Callander a trifle ` impatiently. "It means, that Pallard will. take 'his horse to Windsor, and, adopti,nl; the !tactics he employed yesterday e -'oh, I forget you aren't a regular reader of racing news! Well, to put it briefly he will wait till a market is printed for something else, then he will step in and back hi ; own horse at a good price," "I see,'" said Callander,, whose Stock Exchange experience enablers him to grasp the significance of the manoeuvre. "But, exa.otly, how can you worry this man Pallard? - and please do not refer to him a:'' my nephew." "I can worry him by stealing his market," ,replied Pindow, ; "whilst he is waiting for the psy- chological moin'ent my commissioner, will step in and ,balk it. By the way, you have . never been on a race- course ?" "Never," said Mr. Callander em- phatically. "It is a sport of which' I cannot say I approve: I•t has per; harps ruined ni:ore homes than drink; it attracts, the most disreputable*" "Ease your arm'," said Pinlow coarsely; "there's no creed for us 4o talk that sort' of.., rot -'we're all friends here." Mr. Callander was ruffled by the rudeness of the interruption, and showed it. "After all," Pinlow went on, "we are men of the world: Est modus in rebus, as dear old Horace said, eh? You' needn't apprare of everything -you witness. Come down to 'Windsor on Saturday and' approve of that in- fernal brute's discomfiture;" Pinlow left Hill View that night, having -extracted a half -promise that the immaculate Mr. Callander would, for the first time in his life; visit a racecourse. "And bring Gladys," he said,, as a brilliant afterthought.. He left Mr. 'Callander, shaking his head doubtfully. !Gladys was in disgrace for two days. She sat under the shadow of. her father's displeasure, and,• what was harder to bear, her amiable bro- ther's pity. There was something very annoying in- the sorrow of Hor- ace.

Both brother and sister 'had mon bequeathed from their mother. "Yes," said Horace reluctantly. " had mine, but it was swal'lawect up could you lend me fifty pounds?" She Book her head. "1 could -let you have twenty,". sh said, "and really, Horace, I can't un derstand ethy you want :1Lon ,y.' He was. silent for awhile.

'We11, we sold, at a ha'penny a pound loss and were lucky, for big supplies came on the market from Canada, and it nearly crippled us." "But I• don't understand," she. said, bewildered. "How much did you buy?" "About a hundred tons;" said Hor- ace ruefully. "We lost about five hundred pounds between us." ,"But isn't it gambling?" "Don't talk rot!" he answered, roughly for him. "It is (business. All businesses are speculative, You buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest. If you Make ,a mistake and buy in the dearest and' sell in the c.hear:e§t, you lose money. That is a law of commerce."." He •was so glib in his explanation that she suspected him of having us• ed the argument ;before. "Anyway;. 4'11 borrow the twenty pounds for a week or so," he said. "I can fix up,.:the people I owe the difference to; they're pretty accom- modating." - Gladys Callander was no 'bus'iness woman, but she understood that her brother had been venturing in realms with which she had only the faintesfaintestaceptain tance. "Now what •abo?t Saturday?" he dem'ande'd. "Are tout, going to make a fuss, or are yNoti going to be a sensible girl?" "I am going to be a sensible girl,'' shP said meekly. Mr. 'Callander accepted her agree- ment to -accompany him to 'Windsor as a sign pf grace. "I am pleased to see that Gladys is recovering her reason," he said to her. "Very glad, very g:.atified She has distressed me greatly, given me many bad'nights; robbing me of sleep which .I can ill afford to lose." It was a confirmed !belief in his m mind that he was a artyr to in- somnia, though in •truth, he slept very well. Gladys said nothing. She was en- gageyl in the elucidation of a prob- lem which will appeal to every wo- n -Jan. She' was de'cidin'g the knotty .question summed up in the words, "What shall I wear?" ><lVat to. a6 0 e y s eJ'' e e It was in a costume- of dove -grey and pearl -pink that she found herself in her father's car on the Saturday morning, and Mr. Callander ventured the opinion that Are looked very charming. Even to the artistic eye of Horaci. "Gladys," he said on the Friday s'he.was pleasinga to Pinlow, who, a- mmiornin!g, after her father had gone, i waited his guests on the little menr- "the go'vernor is taking you to the hers' lawn, she was a vision of love races tomiorrow." "What!" She stared at him in open-eyed wonder, amazement and incredulity stamped on her beautiful face. "Now, don't kick up a row about it," he said crossly. "Father is only going to oblige Pinlow-w'ewe had enougliu scenes ehere durin.c,�'„ithe , pas t arilonth to fast a lifetime. It tprhts ire off my work, •Gladys; really, you are most awfully selfish. Willock was saying yesterday that, m}' work has gone all to pieces lately, and it's all your fault." linens. Neither of the .men, exagger- ated her beauty, for, she added to the. symmetrical beauty of her face the buoyant carriage of a healthy !body. "I have ordered lunch," said Pin- low. The 'bruise on his face had al- most disappeared, she observed. The meeehers' luncheon room was crowded, far it 'was the Windsor meeting which follows Ascot, and' the' greater portion of the Ascot crow,/ had core in preparation for Ascot Sunday 'on the river, ..

' She hoped, or feared, to see Brian Pallard, but she was disappointed -or relieved -to fine he was absent. As if guessing her thoughts, Pin- lqw turned to her. • "You won't see Pallard here; he doesn't come racing for the fun of it, . you know. With him 'it's your money we want." " He had hardly spoken the words when theobject of his sneer came in' through the door. 'She felt the color go to her face, for she liked the'~"young man -in a sense.

He ,could do no more than what he had done at dinner that night. She did not believe Pinlow's account of the meeting. She wanted very badly to hear from an independent source the true story of that encounter in the dark, He was dressed in grey; ano wore the lightest of grey 'Terni hats. The broadebrimmed headgear suited him; he hail time to notice that i>'fore his 'hat came off. Horace had seen him too. "Who is the lady, I wonder?" he raid, sotto voce.
