"In some way—some mysterious way -just such a thing es this in- volves me always." He interrupted Ler again by saying, 'The wlsole thing is nonsense, Miss Selves. The plain truth is that I do not have the slightest emotion of any kind about Mist Benham. It was an unfortunate misunderstanding." Brena sat back in her chair with a sigh which appeared to Peter to state, sincerely, relief from a great anxiety. "I would have liked to stay longer," he said, "to see you." "You did not know of ate." "I had seen you." ' "But 0 would not care much for that kind of judgment," she said. "It is man's great delusion to base inclina- tions a.t a glance." Suddenly, with a quick tensity that startled Pete., she looked swiftly abort from fade to face of the per- sons, men and women, who sat at the other tables. He saw in her eyes at that moment the leek which Benham had described so vividly—that expression of fear of seine unknown ,Jeri'.

But at length Brena gave the first hint that their holiday must end. "Perhaps I'd better go back to-mor- row—back to Beeonshire," she said. ' Both knew that this word must fin -ally' be spoken, but Peter had not ex- pected to see quite the quiek pallor which came into Brena's face as she forced out the sentence. DeWolfe felt as one who had been touched suddenly and .unexpectedly upon the elbow' by the dank, bony fin- gers of a corpse.
