much water had been used to put out

fensive still; but apart from the acrid
odor and the soaked carpet there were
no other signs of the conflagration to
be detected In the darkness: Whatever
had happened here was all over and
done with long ago.
As ElspetTi flitted, ghost-llke,
through the dark corridor a clock
somewhere struck three. Only two
hours and • half since she had left her
room and started out upon the explor
ing expedition which had come so near
to ending In tragedy!
The girl could scarcely believe that
the clock told tha truth, for It seemed
that she had lived through days and
nights of horror since then. "Perhaps

that Elspcth could not make out the
doors on either side, but sbe stretched
out her hand to touch the first one as
she passed. It wns open, and so wan
the next. All down the passage It wns
the same. The doors of the three large
rooms on either side were ajar, and It
wus certain that those who had occu
pied those rooms had been driven out
of their quarters by the lire. Where,
then, were Mr. Kenrlth and Captain
Oxford? Upon finding them before It
was too late the success of Elspeth’s
plan dopended.
Once In the great hall, far from tljo
scene of disaster, tho girl began to feel
sense of security after deadly peril.
Bho was weak and spent after all she
hnd endured, and all that was physical

to escape to her own room, lock the
door, fling herself down on the bed,
and rest there safely till morning,
thanking Hoaren for rescuing her from
terrible fate. But she had work to
do still, and In spirit she was ready,
though her body shrunk from further
ordeals.
There was very little smell of burn

I don’t Just know what tjiey will do
afterward, because the rooms In tho
burnt corridor are damaged with water
and it will be day* before they can be
made right. In what part of the house
are you living, miss. It I might make
bold to ask?" ,
"Tho west wing," Elspeth answered
mechanically, all her hopes dashed.by
what she had Just heard. Her plan had
been to And J. hn Kenrlth, take him
Into her confidence, and ask for hit
advice and help. But he was In the
one room of the house where It seemed
that It would be Impossible for her to
get at him and still catty out the plan
she had proposed to herself.
Besides, It seemed ominous to her
that Mr. Kenrlth and Captain Oxford
should ba In a room offered to them by
Trowbridge. She did not believe that
such an offer would have bean made
except for a reason of which she
trembled to think.
Her brain w orked rapidly. She asked
herself what she could do, and reajlzed
that. If anything at all were to be done
It must be done quickly.
She took from her pocket the purse
which held all she had In the world—a
very modest sum.
"This Is for the trouble I have made
you,” she said, giving the man half a
crown, "and”—holding tip half a sov
ereign—“this will be for you If you
can get a message, which I will give

Elspeth sat down at a small table In

"Thank you, miss, very kindly." said
tha man. “I wish I could earn as
much, only halt as easily, every night.
You can depend on me. Shall I leave
the light turned up?"
"Nn, thank you," said Elspeth hastily.
"I'd rather sit In the dark.”
Her brain had acted quickly, and she
had told herself that. In caae her plans
went wrong, It would be well for her
not to be seen In the hall by any other
eyes than those of Mr. Kenrlth.
Upstairs, Trowbridge tvas lingering
In his own sitting room, chatting with
the two men to whom he had lent It.
He excused himself for remaining by
saying that every one In the house was
far too excited to sleep. They talkod
over various famous flres, and at last
Trowbridge said: "Now when you two
fellows have lmd a parting drink with
me I'll sny good night and go off to
my own bed. By Jove. I nevor thought
these quarters could have been made to
look so comfortable. That cot and the
big sofn are quite Inviting. I only
hope, Mr. Kenrlth, that the pain of
your burns won't keep you awake."
Kenrlth smiled. “If It does, I shan't
lose many hours' sleep. It’s nearly 3."
"By Jove, I've kept you up too long.'
exclaimed Trowbridge. "It's time for
whisky and good-night.'
He went to a small table, where
stood a Tantalus, a couple of syphons
and some glasses.
"Don't trouble, thank you, as far at
I am concern oil” said Kenrlth.
'Nor for me," said Oxford.
"Oh, come. I shall be quite hurt If
you don’t try some of my whisky,"
said Trowbridge. "It Is supposed to be
rather good. Won't you drink and wish
me happiness tn my engagement?"
"Your engagement?” echoed Oxford
looking startled.
“My engagement with Lady Hilary
Vane,” Trowbridge went on. "It will
be announced tomorrow. You two are
the llrst ones who have been told."
As a matter of fact, he was lying.
Hilary's letter had not been given to
hint, und when she had learned this
from Elspeth she had made the most
of a headache and put off the evil
moment by remaining In her room all
day. Lady Lambert, however, had told
Trowbridge that the girl’s consent was
estion of a few hours; on the
strength of this assurance Trowbridge
had paid the sum ot 200 pounds to a
certain man who had arrived during
the morning, armed with a blue paper
for Lady Lambart; and as a reward
for what he had done, h* considered
himself entitled to all the pleasure he
could glean from a somewhat prema
ture announcement of his engagement
to Lady Hilary.
Aa he spoke he poured out the whis
ky which he wished hit guests to
taste, and filled up the long glaasei
with soda water.
Neither ninn answered, and Trow
bridge glanced curloualy at Captain
Oxford.
"Are neither of you going to congrat
ulate me?” he asked.
"You have surprised us both,” said
Kenrlth, throwing a warning glance at
Captain Oxford, who was pale to the
lips. "I know Lady Hilary and her
mother well, yet I heard nothing."
"You must have seen what was go
ing on,” laughed Trowbridge.
"I'm afraid I’ve been rather selfish

Trowbridge laughed. “Thery are
those who Bay—you know what gos
sips there are In hotel*—that we shall
be hearing something of the same sort
about Lady Lambart and yourself,"
said he.
An angry light flashed In Kenrlth'*
clear gray eyes. "Those who say such
things say what they have no right to
say, and what 1* most unfair to Lady
Li’.mbart."
It might saY* her a great deal of
trouble If It were true," remarked
Trowbridge. "I’m afraid th* poor lady
has been a good deal bothered for
money, and If her creditors were
sure—"
I think w* had better not discuss
tlist subject any further. Mr. Trow

heart secretly smote him, and he won

La.ly Lambart't alleged troubles. Had
anything that he bed actually said or

he not In a way pledged to her by the

words and actions to which that half

He thought of Lady Hilary, her love

Doubtless she had seen and known her

a subtle change had crept Into their

gone too far to retreat?
Kenrlth had not asked himself this

til he heard that Hilary Vane

he tried to answer tt mentally, scarce
ly knowing what he did. with his burnt
and bandaged hand he raised a glass
of whisky from the small silver tray
which Trowbridge had placed on the
table beside him.
