Now, Male, fearing that Mark is interested in Lucy, has urged 'Ellen's.. sister, Dorothy, to come and try to get rid of Lucy. Dorothy has inst told Lucy that Valerie's friends will not be permitted to visit her if Lucy stays. Lucy says that she must speak e to Mark first. "Can you honestly tell me you be- .lieve my brother-in-law would let you go if you talked to him about Lucy longed, to say she knew he Would. At last she lifted her eyes and looked into the greenish -yellow ones staring at her. , "No," she said. "He's much too decent. I'm sure he wouldn't." ' "It's something in your favor that 1 you adpeit it. Mark has 'always' been - wax in the hands of attractive wo- Imen. And of :course you milk have a certain kind of charm for men—" Lucy went to the door and opened it. "This is still my room," she said. ,"Will you kindly leave it?" "Why—I want to help you with your plans-----" stammered Dorothy. "Will you kindly leave my room?" repeated Lucy. "I don't know if I shall ever forgive you or not. But Y don't have to listen to •you'- any longer. Or see you—" Dorothy found herself at the door without quite knowing how she ,got there. Sthe fancied she heard a faint foot -fall in the hall, but when •she glanced out there was no one in sight. Lucy allowed herself a storm, of tears. She buried her head in the cushions of the couch, and cried her heart out. When she begau to get her breath once more, she got up and washed her face. Then she began to pack. Plans formed and unformed in her mind' as she worked. And end- nenly she knew what she would do. If she was going, she must go at cn.ce. If she waited to see Mark aga:n. she would :ever find the courage. It took her only a short tune to get her things together. She wrote and tore up a dozen notes. What could she 'Say to Mark? At last she took a fresih sheet and wrote quickly. She couldn't even be- gin it. She only said: : Don't hate me for t oing. And don't think I don't know all you've dale for' me.

Luck was with ber, for Catlet was just running out the big car to go for Mark and Valet.* Lucy blessed' her genius for getting en with ser- vants as she called to him. She had, she said, a sudden longing to take the- Ark out for a little run. Was it in working order? Catlet assured her that it was, as the had run it out only the day before to put it in a differ- ent place. She supposed, she said, that )Catlet had heard. the funny- old thing was hers? Catlet had heard so, and told her gravely. i was a fine old bus. Would he get it out dor her before he started? He- would indeed. He did. The lumbering old hybrid, its new engine humming quietly in, its aged sides; rolled Majestically into the drive. Lucy almost forgot her grief to smile as Catlet steeped out ,of it in his smart uniform; "She runs like a two-year-old;" he said.. "I can hardly wait to try it'inY Thanks a lot," Lucy said. She invented delays, poking in waiting for Catlet to leave. He self, side, evi- dently had no suspicion, for he stood for a second waiting to see if she needed him. Then he got into Mark's car and drove away. Lucy ran the - car quickly to a side door. .• Her heart almost choked her with its pounding:- It was ,so awful to g9 like this. She crept up a back, stairway to her own door unseen. The upper hall was empty, and she carried her lug- gage down. piece by. piece, making three trips; and hiding her things in the back cf the van. At last they were safe. Chiltern, she •was sure, was at the front door. She got quietly into the Ark and started the engine. The van's gay coloring had been painted out, and it was now a dark and shining blue. It looked merely 'Ake a rather smart delivery, car, if no onelooked closely at the driver. Lucy drove silently down the back drive, and out of the, service gates. She hardly knew where she was go- ing, but headed instinctively for Al- lington. She knew; however, as she drove. along the quiet road itt-the late win- ter afternoon, that the wonderful feeling, of seeunity had been. lost even before Dorothy appeared.

She ran with it to Valerie'sbed-, room, and laid it on the dressing table. She opened Mark's sitting - roots door almost timidly. It was the first time she had ever crossed the threshold.

Dinner waseaten practically in si- lence. They seemed driven by some !liner baste, and left the table wilien Dorothy had barely finished, her, dessert. Mark beckoned her into the library, and Valerie followed. She had begun to cry once more, and Mark put his arth around her as he faced Dorothy, "Miss Tredway has gone," he said flatly. "She left a note, but it means nothing." Dorothy drew a . deep breath. "The whole thing is a mys- tery. Totally unlike her. in every way. Of course something happened after we left this. morning. I'm mark- ing it my businese to find out what it was. Can you. tell me anything?" Dorothy lifted innocently injured eyes to his. "I'll do everything I can, of course. 13ut I'm afraid it isn't much. You see, 1 spent most of,the day in my room . I had a lot of let- ters to write. I saw Miss Tredway at, lunch for a fete- moments. I'm afraid that's a]l." "Of course it isn't all!" said Mark. "Naturally, I'm not questioning what you say. But there's something back of it. Have you any idea where she went? Or at what time?" "I told you I didn't even know she was gone," said Dorot14.y. That, at least, was the truth, she thought vir- touously. Valerie laid her head against Mark's arm, sobbing. He had shown her Lucy's littleronote. In all her life, nothing, had ever hurt her so much. "It "must be me—I mean, I—" 'she said. "I'd have done anything for her—father---" :She broke down cone pletely. Mark gave her a gentle shake and spoke alnieset. roughly. "Stop it, Val! Lucy -dome back! You'll have to pull yourself together!" ° "Your father is quite right," said Dorothy. It was probably better to take some part in it than to stand and say nothing. "There was'nothing about the young woman, after all, that is worth your making yourself ill over." Valerie raised her"IfedirShe wiped her eyes and faced her aunt. "Lucy is the most wonderful person, in, the world, next to my father! You could not possibly understand. I'm going upstairs, father. I'll do whatever you want. If You say you'll find her, you will. So everything' will be all right." She turn.ed and ran out of the rocvm. Dorothy gathered lipt-her dignity. "1 shall go to my room, too, if you'll excuse me," she said. "I find I may have to leave quite suddenly. Per- haps in the morning—" -If she expected any opposition to this, . she was disappointed. He nod- ded, as df he hardly knew what she Was talking about. Mark sat down by the fire in a complete daze. He tried to reasonit out. He would, have staked anything on Lucy. Why had she gone? Chiltern brought in fresh -ciga- rettes for the- antique silver box. He filled it, and set.it on the table -with- in reach. Filled Marks Ctip, again. Made ohvions, small excuses to lin- ger in the room. Mark Molted up at him suddenly. Why hadn't he thought of the man before? -Chiltern was' at the doorway when Mark tailed. He came back and stood beside Mark's chair. "Yes, air?" "I want you to forget yourself" Mark said surprisingly. "Yes. All about yeah- station', or position, or whatever you pall it. I'm in a devil of a mess,' and I have a hunch you could help me out." "Quite, sir," said Chiltern. "You mean Miss Lucy, 1 succor." "Cif course 1 mean Miss Lucy. I leave the house this morning with everybody happy, and everything as usual. I come bcfek at night, and the place is disrupted. Miss Tredway has left, and nobody can tell me "She could hardly be eXpected to do anything else, sir—not after what happened this morning.

That's just what I'm trying to find out," Mrs. Summerville went to Miss Lucy's rooms, sir. I went to your rooms to look at that defective light, as you told me.
