"With an empty pistol? Fie on you,

"Ye may not," ,

O'Hara shook hi6 head with an air
of finality she knew full well. How-

'husband might be, there were times
when he ,was impervious to all bland-
ishments.. So after darkly hinting
that she would be near than he imag-

headlong down. But in the flash of
an eyelid Carstares had sprung for-
ward and received her in his arms.

Molly took it with a smile.

I •fear I should have injured myself
quite considerably had you not been
so swift le.atching me. 'Twas most
kind of you, I -am sure!" She ex-
tended' her ,small hand, and her eyes
devoured 'him.

he said in his own cultivated voice.

cisively, and throwing away her luck-

and entered the house through a long
wind**.

O'Hara wrote it down with a skept-

not quite like.
"Perhaps 'ye will have •the goodness
to unmask?"
There was a momentary silence.

leaning half across the table, his eyes
fixed on Jack's face.
With a quaint little laugh that made
O'Hara's brows contract swiftly, my
lord shrugged his shoulders French
fashion and obeyed. The mask and
bat were tossed lightly on to the
table, and Miles found himself gazing,
into a pair of blue eyes that met his
half' defiantly, half imploringly-. He
drew In his breath sharply and the
thin ivory rule he held snapped sud-

The ,two gaolers and her .husband

that and a night in gaol to see your
face when I unmasked!"
O'hara shook .him slightly, laagh-
itig, and tiarned to the two amazed
gaolers. The senior • gaoler met his
humorous glance with a, cold and in-
dignant stare, and 'gave a prodigious
snit" e good fellows," drawled Miles,
"I'm mighty sorry ye've been worried
over me young cousin here. He's fool-
ed us all it, appears, but now there's
nought to be done in the matter,

a guinea into each curiously ready
palm, and replied to the head gaoler's
haughty bow with a pleasant nod: In
silence he watched' them leave the
'room shaking their heads' over the
incomprehensible ways of the gentry.
•Then he turned and looked across at
Ca rs tares.
CHAPTER X '
• Lady O'Hara Retires
For a long minute silence reigned,
all three actors in flun little comedy
listening kkitateps re-
treating down the passage, Carstares
with one 'arm still around my lady's
waist and a rather strained look on
his face. Melly instinctively felt that
something beyond her ken was in the
air, and glanced fearfully up at the
white face above her. The expres-
sion in the blue eyes' fixed on her
husband made • her turn sharply to
look at him. • he found that he was,
staring at inq lord as though he saw
a ghost. She wanted to • speak,. to
relieve the tension, but all words,
stuck in •her 'threat, and she could
,only watch the denouement breath-
lessly. At Iasi O'Hara moved, com-
ing slowly towards them, reading
John's countenance. Some ofthe won-
der went out of bis face, and, ae if
he tented the other's agony of mind,
•he smiled suddenly and laid his hands
once more on the straight, stiff shoul-
der.
"Jack, ye rascal, what do- ye mean
by hugging and kissing me wife under
me very eyes?"
Molly all at once remembered the
position of her "Cousin HarTy's" arm
and gave a little gasp, whisking her-
self awaY.
MY lord put out his hands and
strove to thrust his friend' off.
"Miles, don't forget -don't forget -
what I am!"
The words' were forced out, but his
head was held high.
'Tare an' ouns, man! And is it
meself that'll •be caring what ye may
or may not be? Oh, Jack, Jack, I'm
so pleased to see ye, that I Can scarce
realize 'tis yourself I am looking at!
When did ye come to, England, and
what -a -plague • are you doing in that
cost-ume?" He jerked his bead to
where John's mask lay, and 'wrung
the hand he held as though he would
never st5p.
"I've been in England a year. As
to the mask-!" He shrugged and
laughed.
Lady O'Hara pushed in :between
them.
"Ilk please I do not understand!".
she said plaintively.
Carstares bowed over her hand.
"May I be permitted to thank yon
for yOur kindly intervention, My lady?
And to congratillate Mileon his mar-
riage?"
She climpled charmingly and curt-
sied. Her husband eatight her round
the waist.
"AY, the saucy minx! Ob,' me cou-
sin Harry, forsooth! If it bad been
anyone but Jack I 'should be angry
with ye, asthore, for 'twas a wicked
thriek to' Way. entirely!"
She patted his hand and sinned
across' at Jack.

smiled graciously upon hinz;biew, an

quickly out of the room.

her and came back to O'Hara, who
had flung himself ,back into his chair,

ment he, was feeling.
"Come, sit ye down, Jack, and let
