Oifiar, by the „window his Grace, his
,breath;'recovered, was eyeing •Andrew
through his quizzing -glass..
."May I inquire" what brings you
here?" he asked sweetly. "And why
you saw fit to bring the saintly Rich-
ard?"
"I came because it suited. me to do
so. I never dreamed you were 'here
- 'Pon my soul, I did not!"
"Where then did you think I was?"
"Never thought" about you' at all,
my dear fellow. I'm not your. squire."
"'Why id Richard, here?"
"Lord, what 'a catechism! He is
here because 'he brought me with him,
on his way to. Wy ieham. Have you
any objection?" •
"It would be ' useless," shrugged
Tracy. "Have. I killed 'that,. -Young
fool?":..
Andrew looked him over in disgust:
"No, you have 'p.ot/`You have. bare-
ly touched• him; thanks be,'
`.`Dear me! Why this sudden affec-
tion for- Carstares?"
Andrew swung round ;on his heed
remarking over his shoulder:
"He may be a cheat, but he's a
damned fine fellow. By Gadt he near-
ly pinked you aa •I entered!" He
_chuckled at the memory of that glor-
ious moment.
"He nearly pinked me a dozen
times;" replied Tracy, 'binding his ai m
round more tightly. "He fights like
ten devils.,, But he .was fatigued."
He followed ' Andrew- -across the
room and stood looking • down -at his
unconscious foe. •
. Diana's eyes challenged him.
' "Stand back, your Grace! You have
no more to do here!"
He drew out his snuff-box and took
a pinch.
"So that is how' the;r..n atter lies,
my dear. I 'disci; not kap*`that."
"You pretend that it would have
made a difference in your treatment
of me?" . •
• "Not the. slightest, child," he re-
plied, shutting the box, with a snap.
"It. has -merely come as a slight sur-
prise to me. It seems he has the luck
this round." He walked away again
as another great bell -peal sounded
through the house.
Andrews pouring. cognac into. a
glass, paused with bottle held in mid-
air.,
'`Thunder and turf! We are like to
be a party! Who now?" He set the
glass down and lounged out of the
room bottle in hand. They heard him'
give an astonished _cry and ,a loud
laugh, and the next morning O'Hara
strode into the room, booted and
spurred and enveloped in a heavy
surcoat. He carie swiftly upon the lit-
tle group about my lord and went
down on one knee beside him. His
eyes seemed to take in'ederyone at a
glance. Then he looked across at
Richard.
"Is• hg' alive?"
' Richard nodded,
hard, anxious gaze.
O'Hara bent over his ,friend.
"He has been wounded?" .
Dii ha answered this. • •
"Only slightly, Sir Miles, but 'twas
his shoulder again. He was tired af-
ter the ride -Mr. Carstares thinks he

O'Hara very gently slipped one arm
beneath my lord's shoulders and the
other under his knees, rising with him
as easily as if 'he were carrying' a
baby. ,He walked over to the couch,
lowering his 'bur.d.en On to the 'Cush-
ions that Diana placed to receive him.

and looked across at her.

bed openly at her eyes. "I -I love

was full of a great joy:
Richard went quickly to him, trying
to"put ,him back on the cushions. ,
"My dear Jack --no, no -;-fie still!" f
''Lie still?" cried my lord, swinging
his feet to the ground. "Not a bit, of

"But why' do. you want. to get up?" -
pleaded a soft voice in his ear..
"So that I can take you in any arms,

Then his stance, wandering round
the room, alighted. �`•on ..the , heated_
group by the table; Andrew vocifer-

"Oho! Ye are up, are ye." He cross-
ed to. his 'side. "Theri sit down!"
"Since you are all SG. insistent, I
will. How did. you _coma here?"
O'Hara went round to.the back of
the couch to arrange a cushion be-
neath the hurt shoulder,' and leaned
his arms upon the back, looking down
with a laugh in- his eyes.
"Faith, I rode!"
"But -how did you know? Where-"
"'Twas all on account of that young

find an opening in the hedge for Jen-
ny to get through. She is now stalled
in a shed at the bottom of the lawn
with my cloak. over her. I'll swear
she's• thirsty, too."
"I'll see to that," promised O'Hara.
Andrew came across the room and
bowed awkwardly to my lord, stam-
mering a little. Carstares, held out
his hand.
"Lord, Andy! I scarce knew you!
After a moment's hesitation, An-
drew took the outstretched hand and
answered, laughingly. But my lord
had not failed to notice the hesita-
tion, short though it had been.
"I -beg your pardon. I • had for-

Andrew sat down beside him, ra-
ther red about the ears. •
"Oh, stuff, Jack! I'm a clumsy fool,
but'I•did not•nean that!"
Richard stepped forward into the
full light of the candles.
"If you will all listen to me one

he said steadily.

With a furious oath Jack wrenched
himself free and rounded on his

"You take too mueh upon yourself,

ed menacingly as they swept the,
company, and rested for an instant
on O'Hara's unyielding countenance.
Then he turned and held out his hand
to his brother with his own peculiar-
ly' wistful smile.
"Can you bear to speak to me?"
muttered Richard; with face 'averted.
"Gad, Dick; don't° be ridiculous!
