Net inch a bad looking cbep, the
rrilrction told him: and in soitc of
Norman's curls and clinical note,
I. any registered a vow ta tit hit

out with this little Hael girl and

CMAPTKR IV.
The tall iii.vi in the bron leggings
luoKfd Harry Wiiklow up and down
wi:h humoru'u rt.
"How f.ir to liedmund?" he said
il'ouKhldilly. He (.poke with a alight
country hurr in his voice, which wa
rather pleasing.
"Well, it' a tlirpc-milc walk from
here across the liclds; further round
ly the road
Harry swore, lie dropped the suit
case he carri-d and mopped his face.
"Tliry told nic at the station it
wa only thrre miles, and I've walked
about a dozen already, he said irri.
tably. He looked up at his com
panion with a scowl. "Is it utterly
impossible :o Ket a conveyance in
this corner of the world?" he do
tranded. The man n the brown leggings
rubbed hi chin; he had a firm, strong
hand, a little work and weather
roiiKbrned.
"Well," he said at last slowly, "I've
Rot a trap. What part of Bedmund
do you want to get to?"
Harry hadn't the remotest idea, and
said so frankly.
The eyes of the two men met, and
suddenly Harry laughed.
"The fact if." he said more cheer
fully, "I've never been here before,
and I don't know my bearings. I
beard that the country was fairly de
cent round Bedmund, so thought I'd
make it mv headquarters and do a
hit of walking." lie stopped. The
man in the brown leggings was look
ins down at Harry's boots.
"You won't get far in those boots,"
l:c said bluntly.
Barry colored. "I know. I've got
some others in by bag," he explained
in a hurry. "But, I say, if you really
could give me a lift? ..."
He glanced eagerly towards the
small dogcart drawn to the side of
the roadway.
"I suppose you're a farmer?" he
submitted.
"I suppose I am." The answer
sounded fairly ironical. "And if you
care about a lift you'd better come
along I'm in a hurry.".
Harry did not particularly care for
the blunt way in which he spoke,
but lie was tired and cross, and any
thing was hotter than a further tramp
across plowed fields and down dusty
roads; so he picked up his bag and
followed the man in the brown leg
gings to the (Jogcart.
"I suppose there's a hotel or an
inn place where I can put up?" he
asked more cheerfully when they
were jogging along down the road.
The mare between the shafts was
evidently not particularly young; her
feet clop-clopped languidly at each
step, and the lightly-built trap jolted
-.1 . .t.i... i,. . r
Harry was not disposed to be criti
cal. He was only thankful for the
lift.
The man beside him glanced down
with a sort of pitying scorn.
"There's the Load of Hay," he
said laconically. "It's a beer house,
but I never heard that they had any
looms to let."
Barry said "Oh!" rather blankly.
"I dare say I can get fixed up some
where," he added. "Perhaps you can
put me on the right track."
The man seemed to be consider
ing; once or twice he looked at
Barry with a sort of suspicion in
his eyes.
"My sister lets rooms in the sum
mer time," he said after a moment.
"They're only plain, but if you're not
too particular "
Barry assured him that he should
be only too delighted, that he did
not care where he put up as long as
the place was clean.
"Oh, it's clean enough," his com
panion assured him dryly. "I'm not
sure that we can take you, mind; it
was only an idea of mine. If you
care to come up to the farm and
see "
Barry said again that he would be
only too delighted, that the sugges
tion was most kind.
"It's just business," he was in
formed unemotionally.
He relapsed into silence after that;
it was uphill work trying to talk
to this farmer; Barry looked at him
rather resentfully. He was not a
young man, he might have been any
thing between 40 and SO, and his face
was tanned to the color of mahogany
by wind and sun.
His hair was slightly grizzled at
the temples, and there was a fine
network of lines round eyes which
were startlingly blue against his sun
burnt face. He wore a rough tweed
coat and a woolwork waistcoat, and
there was a horseshoe pin stuck in
his tie.
He turned his head abruptly, and
met Barry's interested eyes.
"Well." he faid, "and what do you
make of me?"
There was a sort of blunt humor
in the words, and Barry colored. "I
beg vour pardon," he said awkward
ly. "I didn't know I was staring so
hard."
He sat up and looked out over the
country. The day was drawing to a
close; there was a faint haze rising
from the land; the sky was streaked
purple and yellow with the sunset;
away in the distance the sloping roof
of a farmhouse was turned to red in
the glow, and beyond it were hills
grav hills.
The man beside him followed his
gaze. "That's my farm," he said. He
turned the horse towards an open
gate; the trap rocked and rumbled
for a few yards over rough ground
before it reached a made road again.
There was a sloping lawn in front
of the house and a pond with ducks
scratching ar.d cackling round its
margin. The farmer got down and
hitched the mare's bridle to a post;
then he came back ajid took Barry's
suitcase.
"You'd better come and ask about
the rooms," lie caid stoically, "I don't
know if anvbodv's in."
Barry followed silently. It was a
rather picturesque spot, he admitted,
but dull deadly dull! Somehow he
Cid not think he would be staying
here for lone.
.The front door of the farmhouse
Brief City Xeica
stood open. The floor iniidt was
stained and polished a bright warm,
ing pan nun directly oppon'te the
door, and somewhere a grandfather
clork was ticking solemnly.
The farmer set Harry's bag down
in the narrow hall. He went to the
loot of the rather neep stairs and
called up: "Is any one at home?"
A girl's voice answered him in
stantly. "Coming. I'ncle Joe."
'lite farmer turned back and push
ed open the door of a sitting-room
on the right. "Walk in," he said
bluntly.
Harry obeyed. He had to stoop
to enter, as the door frame was so
low. The room was long and nar
row, and a long black beam of oak
ran lengthways acrobs the low ceil
ing. A black cat lay asleep on the wide
window ledge. There was a big bowl
of late roses on the table.
Harry stood twisting his hat. He
should rather like to stay in this
house, he thought; there was some
thing about it that made a fellow
feel at home, in spite of the farmer's
bluntm-M. He thought it would be
rather ripping to wake up in the
morning in such a place. He looked
at ins companion.
"May I ask your name?" he be
an, and then stopped. Some one had
come into the room behind him. A
voire said:
"Here I am, I'ncle Joe," and then
broke off sharply as Barry swung
round.
A girl stood in the doorway, a girl
in a pink cotton frock, with loose
sleeves rolled up to the elbow; a girl
whose eyes,' after the first quick
glance, met Carry Wicklow's with an
incredulous amazement and delight
in their grayness; the girl who a week
ago had shared his box at the theater

ment. For once in his life he lost
his tongue and could only stare.
lo meet her here ot an places.
Surely this was a piece of real ro
mance. He realized all over agatn
how very pretty she was. It flashed
thrnncrh hia minrt tViaf lie would like
to see all his women friends in Lon
don wearing cotton frocks like the
one this girl wore, with the sleeves
rolled up to the elbow, showing soft
white arms.
But that was only his man s

lie am not realize mai cuviruuiuciii
s everything.
The eirl recovered her composure
more quickly than he did. She broke
into a little laugh.
"Hnur v-erir fnnnvl Mother and I
were only talking about you last
nicht and wonderinz if we should
ever meet again."
Barry grinned delightedly. "Were
you? By jove! I say, it is ripping to
see you again, 4l1at happened to
you after the show? I looked every
where." "I don't know; we lost you in the
crowd. We were so sorry not to see
vou aeain and thank vou for your
kindness."
The farmer had heen standme bv
looking on stoically. He broke in
now in his rather expressionless
voice.
"This gentleman is looking for a
room. I told him I would ask your
mother if we could put him up."
He asked no questions. He did not
seem particularly surprised at the
mutual recognition.
The girl turned to him at once.
"There is plenty of room. I am
sure mother will be pleased if Mr. "
she paused, looking expectantly at
Barry.
In the excitement of the moment
Barry nearly told her his real name.
He only just stopped in time.
"My name is Ashton," he said.
It was quite true, . his name was
Barry Ashton Wicklow, and he had
decided on the journey down from
town that, for the oresent. he would
adopt his second name.
"If you could put me up ior a
night or two," he said, diffidently.
"I dare say it could be managed,'
the farmer said, gruffly. "Where is
your mother, my dear?"
"She went into the village : she
won't be long, though. Would you
like some tea.'
She looked at Barry; her cheeks
flushed and her eves soarkled:
there was no doubt that she was very ;
pleased to see him again.
Barry said he should love some
t, haH fnrcotten all about the
farmer. His eyes followed the gir
about the room as sne iaia ine cium,
he thought she was just ripping; as
.u ncorl ?in ft renacsed the window
the light of the sunset touched her
hair and the dainty prome 01 ner
face; she chatted away to Barry the
whole time. She seemed quite at her
ease. . ,
"Mother will be so surprised to
see you," she said, pausing at the
,i . an inctant! she had a green

L i. , fr him. "What has
uanc Lv-t v - - - ,
brought you down here? she asked
with sudden interest.
Barry blushed; he knew that the
farmer was looking at him.'
"Well to tell you the truth, I really
don't know," he said. "I like the
country, and my some one told me
it was pretty in this part of the world,
so I thought I'd come down and put
in a week." .
"It's pretty enough." she admitted,
rather doubtfully. "But I .should
have thought you would find it dull.
She went away without waiting for
a reply, and Barry heard her singing
as she crossed the narrow hall and
nent into the kitchen.
"I should have thought you would
find it dull, too," the farmer said
rather abruptly. He was standing
back to the fireplace; a big, rather
clumsy figure in the low-ceilinged
room. He was looking at Barry
rather hard. "We've had gentlemen
like you down here before, but none
of them seem to stay long; they all
find it dull." , , , ,
It was the longest speech he had
made as yet and Barry fidgeted
rather uncomfortably.
There was a moment's silence.
"So you have met my niece before?"
the farmer said again.
"Yes a week ago in town at a
theater."
