woods, all the morning. He did not
go back to lunch. He lay on hit
back on a mossy bank under tome
oak treet and tried to sleep.
Presently he doied off, hit rap
palled well over hii eyet to (hade the
llM.kfring sunlight that lifted throiiRh
the gentle moving leavei of the

He woke late In the afternoon to
tns consciousness that some one was
standing near him. He darted up,

She shook her head. She had very

dressed.
"Oh, to I only want to know
the way- to a place called the Cleave

ran't find it anywhere. If you know
it '
"I know it very well," Barry said.
,1 am staying there: its about
mile and a half on. If you "will al
low me to show you the way '
She hesitated, aid glanced toward
. the road, which was some little dis-
way among the trees like a dusty
ribbon.
"Welt. I've got the car in the road,'
she said. "But if I may give you a
' lift home I shall be delighted.
Barry said he would be delighted,
too; the girl was not at all pretty, he
decided, but there was something
' taking about her, in spite of her
undoubted makeup and rather theat
rical style,
He followed-her down the narrow
footpath, hastily trying to tidy his
run lea nair as ne went. ne( won
dircd who she was, and what she
wanted at Cleave Farm.
The car, waiting in the.'road. was
a very handsome one. The attend
ant rhauffeur was in smart livery.
. 4 Barry gave him a, few directions;
'Keep straight on, and then turn to
the right; then I'll tell you again."
. He followed the girl into the car.
"It's rather dusty,"!, she said. "But
we've come from London, and it's a
" longer run than I thought it would
be."
"Yon live in London?" Barry
asked. - . "

little pucker between her brows.
"Have you ever seen me before?"
she asked. , "Because somehow I am
sure I have seen you, but I .can't
.remember -where."
? He shook his head. "No, I don't
"think so. I think I should have re
membered you if we had ever met
before." v
v She looked pleased at the inferred
compliment. "So , you are staying at
Cleave Farm?" she said presently.
"How strange that I should have
"Very. ; . . You know Mrs. Bent
' ley, I suppose?"
She hesitated. "Wei, no," she said
at last. "J. can't say that I dot I've
never met her, but well, as a matter
of fact, her daughter Hazel and I
are first . cousins."
' 1 . Barry stared. "
"Her father and my father were
brothers," she explained. "But her
" father married beneath him, or they
chose to think so, and somehow he
drifted away from his family. I don't
live with mv people now, you see, so
I do as I like, and I "wanted to se"e

"I've heard a lot about Hazel, and

promptly. "You'll like her mother,
too; they're charming people." ,

she supplemented.
He colored. "There it very little
company here. We go to bed with

sometimes."
"How uninteresting. , Oh, is that

"Yes." Barry rose. Turn to the

"Any go slowly; its a thundering

They turned in at the same gate

noon in the company of this' girl ,
He led the wav into thes house
Mrs. Bentley was in the kitchen. She
called, out to hint cheerily.
"Where have you been? We were
beginning to get quite anxious about
you, Mr. Ashton "
The girl beside Barry looked up
at him. "Is your name Ashton?" she
asked. -.-
"Yes", said Barry. She looked
faintly disappointed. "Then I- haven't

Mrs. Bentley came out into the
passage. ' , '
"Have, you tiad your dinner? . I
kept it hot for you till 3 .o'clock.
Oh" she broke off, looking at
Barry'a companion.
Barry began some sort of an awk
ward explanation, but the girl stopped

I can do all that mvself. thanks f
she said, with a little laugh. "Is this
Mrs. Bentley?'.
Barry nodded, and she went uo to
Hazel's mother and took her hand.
You don t know me.", she said. "But
I'm your niece ' My name is Delia
Bentley. Your husband and my fath
er were brothers."
There was a little cause. Mrs.
Bentley had flushed painfully. She
tried to draw her hand away, but
Delia held it fast.
Now. it s no use being stand-offish
with me," she said cheerily. "It's
not my fault that we haven't met
before. I've heard lots about you
and Hazel, and I'm very pleased to
meet you at last I've driven all the
way down from London to-find you,
and I'm just dying for a cud of tea.
Can we have one? I've got a car.
outside, and a man. I dare say he's
thirsty, too. And where is Hazel?"
' She gave Mrs. Bentley no time to
speak. There was something so un
affected about her that it was impos
sible to stand on one's dignity-for
long.
-, Mrs. Bentley recovered herself
with an effort..; She said they should
have tea in a minute. She . called
tremulously to Hazel, and retired
into the kitchen again. V
Delia had thrown off the long,
loose coat she wore, and untied the
motor veil from her hat. "Have you
got a cigaret?" she asked.
- Barry had. He produced his case.
He wondered what on earth Joe Uan
iels would say' if he came in and
found this girl smoking.
He struck a match and lit the
cigaref for her. - She gave two long
puffs and leaned back in her chair
with a little sigh of relief.
She looked at Barry with a twinkl-
m her ' eyes. ' It s , an unexpected
pleasure to find a ,man like you in
this sleepy hollow," she added.
''Hullol" She rose. to her feet. ''I
Suppose you're Hazel?" she said, in
a change of tone.V ,
Hazel bad just come into the room.
She was all in white, and there was
an excited flush on her pretty face.
She had heard from her mother who
their visitor was. , ' 'lv
The two girls shook hands. Delia's
cool hands scanned her cousin cnti
cally.
' "Well, you look just the country
rose part," she said in her downright
fashion. - "I. wish they could put
complexions like, yours in a box for
us to buy.
Hazel flushed.
Barrv felt very , tender, as he
looked at Hazel. She was so differ
ent to every' other women he had
ever known. She looked younger
and' prettier than . ever" now beside
the carefully made-up smartness of
Mr COUSM1
When Hazel went off to help her
mother with the tea, Delia looked at
Barry and laughed. "Is she the rea
son why you like the, country?" she
asked him,- teasinjgly. "Goodness,
don't blush so," she added. "Iad
mire your taste. What a hit she'd
make in LondonJ"
She blew another cloud of smoke
into the air and chuckled. "Wonder
what she thought of me for smokr
ing?" she said. Barry did not answer.-

Hazel reappeared with-the tea tray.
She looked at Delia a great deal as
she moved about the room: ? She was

ing little pang of envy.
"Where did you two meet?" she
asked presently,
Delia answered at once. "Mr. Ash

wood," she said. "And I woke him
though not in the story-hook way.
I aked him where Cleave Farm was,
and he laid he was staying there, so
we came along together."
She threw the dead end of her
cigaret towards the fire. "Will you
come and stay with me in London,
Haiel?" she asked impulsively. "I'll
give you the time ot your liter
Hazel colored excitedly. "Oh, I
should love it I adore London.' '
Barry. scowled. "You'd soon get to
hate it, he said, with sort ol
Mvarery.
"You be quiet I" Delia told him
sharply. "Leave Hazel alone. She
will love London as I shall show it
to her. Why, I don't suppose she's
hardly becu to a theater, or a night
club
Barrv bit his lip. The thought of
Hazel in a night club made him teel
sick.' He changed the conversation
as quickly as he could. Hazel went
off to cut bread and butter.
Delia looked at Barry teasmgly.
"You don't like the idea of her com.
ing to town," she said, with a little
Inugh. "You want to keep your ross
all to yourself-eh?"

Barry had never been so - taken
aback, in his life. .He stared at the
girl for' a moment with blank eyes,
the color rising guiltily in his face.
