Betty drew back without a word and
wr.lked away. Carson, with a triumph
ant smile, hurried after her.
"You won't want to stay. I reckon. \
Betty." he said, as he overtook her. j
81ie did not raise her eyes, but nodded.

An hour later motor was speedlnc
swiftly toward Whitehaven In it sat i
Betty with pale, drawn face and Mr j
Monte Carson, on whose' vindictive ■
and greedy features was a grin of grat
ified triumph
It was near the dinner hour wiien i
I<" r d Cecil returned from Catitlehnry j
where the matter of the poached game!
had been finally concluded, and with |
an eager light in his eyes hurried into
the manor house As he moved toward
the stair James came quietly forward
and stopped him with a how.
"Her ladyship has gone out. my ■
lord." he said, and ill the man's voice [
Cecil caught a troubled note. "She left j
a note in the library, my lord."
With a vague sensation of impending ;
disaster Cecil hurried to the dim old \
room and ripped open the-envelope ly !
Ing upon his writing table His face j
grew white as his eyes flashed over the i
tear blotted page
"Beloved." he read and seemed to
hear the soft, caressing voice that was I
used to whisper the endearment In hi ;
ear. "I have gone away, and you will I
never see me again I know that yon '
' love another and that ymi are ashamed j

And then at the end the little scrawl !

Slowly Lord Cecil placed the note In i

"1 will find you. my own. though It '

CHAPTER XII.
Fate's Tangled Threads.
SGPUENLY. as the sunshine of a :
day iu June may be blotted out
by the thundercloud that rolls
inward from - the sea. the Joy- I
1 ounness that bad lighted up the an I
cient halls of Croftlalgh was smother-!
Ed tieneath a pall of sorrow and mys
terious fear.
The servants, who bad quickly come
to love the young mistress who
brought to the old manor happiness
| and prosperity, when'both had long
been absent, moved about silently and
questioned each other with frightened
eyes
None knew or could guess the na-1
ture of the calamity that bad befallen
i and not e'ven James dared to mention'
to the haggard master tiie name of the
| vanished mistress.
All dny long Lord Cecil, with blank
and drawn lace, sat in his library, and
i telegraph messengers came ami went
ceaselessly, as well as men whose brtak
steps and sharp, cold gHtnes were evi
dence to the obawrtnc ef their trade, i
Bnt one order had been issued to the
domestics—that absointe silence con
cerning the affairs at Croftlalgh ahonid
be preserved, and so well bad the veil j
of secrecy been maintained that uo
hint had reached the world that Lady
Betty Cecil had disappeared.
Almost beartbrafcen. tormented by
fear ot what might have befallen the j
girt, absolutely without clew to her I
intentions or whereabants, knowing;
only through the confession af the j
maid that Betty had been the victim
of a Aiallgnant conspiracy engineered
by the Countess Lnrovich. Lord Cecil
was forced to an agonizing inactivity,
j while a score of the best private de
[ tectivee in England maintained a re
j lent less but fruitless search.
• e • • e e e
Since the hour of her flight from
: Croftlalgh. following what she bellev-,
ed to be the discovery of the fact that
Cedl not only did not love her. but re
garded her as a cause for shame, to be
hidden from his world. Betty bad
been sank la the apathy of utter mis 1
ory
Her fate waa to her a matter of
complete indifference, and wit hoot In
terest or qoeation she allowed beraelf
to be borne away by the gloating Mr.
Carsoa, whose satisfaction at the
thought that be would soon have in
hie control the "Golden Hope" waa
scarcely less th*n that he would wreak
i a deadly revenge opon Lord Cecil and
that Betty, whom he regarded as a
I traitor and Ingrate and hated with all
j the malice of which his mean soul was
! capable, was now completely in his
| (tower
It was big full Intention, use* the
mine waa safely and tinully In his pos
session. to abandon her to the moat ter
rible fate he could provide.
Meanwhile he played to perfection
the part of the faithful ami forgiving)
protector
He played it so well that Bettv.j
Iter mind dulled by grief, accepted him
as ahe bad when a child, as u kind fos ;
ter father, and reproached herself that 1
she had ever doubted him She took I
no note of the country tbrough which |
the speeding t-ar passed, nor did shej
trouble to ask the name of the city j
which they presently entered—White j
haven
Neither did she concern herself that
the mean little hotel to which Carson
proceeded directly, a nil where they j
were erldetitly expected was situated j
in a section along the waterfront which j
even a stranger would have recognized |
as a region of sordid poverty and a|
breeding place of crime.
Once within this house Betty was j
though unaware of the fact, a closely j
guarded prisoner
Believing that all regular transpor j
tation routes would be watched by de i
tectives. it waa Carson's Intention t"
remain in hiding for awhile and then
with Kett.v stem away on some trUmp |
vessel of such character Hint motives
and methods of passengers would not
tie questioned
Such H one. ne had been informed
was almost ready to put to sea. and lie
knew tie could easily buy passagi

Useful Gifts
Christum* is for children hut frown |
folks like being remembered ton, I'von
thoujili their remembrances arc in the ,
form of useful things.
A kitchen kit is a useful collection j
of implements needed every day by ev- |
erv housekeeper and it is something |
anyone can select. A starch, or soap
bo\. nicely enameled, with the li'l
hinged to form a door, and a shell fitted
in makes the beginning. The corners of
the box may be finished with little j;
brass ornaments and a brass knob on
the door, and brass binges will give
quite an air to the case.
What one puts into the kit depends
upon whom it is for. Of course there
must be a can-opener, a cork screw, a
screw driver and a small hammer. Hut <
whether you add a tack puller and a j
small saw depends very much on the
character of the housewife you intend j.
the gift for. Some women like to do
bits of carpentry and others leave it all
to ".lohn Henry."
A little file for sharpening knives, a i
roll of sand paper and a long, thin spat- i
ula* or mixing knife will be turuishingfl i
anv woman will enjoy having. If you
are sure the kitchen docs not yet eon !
tain a good mixer for cake batter in
the .shape of a slotted spoon, an egg !
beater, and a measuring cup, stock the j
little cabinet with these and similar
things for baking day. Add some strong j:
nails or screws for fastening the box
to the wall and you may be sure it will j
be welcomed. 1
Another "home-made" gift is in the 1
nature of scent bags for use in the linen I'
closet and in drawers. These may be.

lavender flowers or with a sachet mix
tore. A few drops of rose geranium oi
or oil of mignonette or any essentia
oil will scent a whole sheet of cottoi
batting and this is a very good fillin;
for the pads arttl bags.
Other useful gifts that anyone car
make are fancy, small cake*. Thcsi

basket decorated with a bit of scarle
ribbon and a twig of mistletoe or holb
are all sufficient to show the Christina:
spirit.
