She gave a awlft upward glance at

He did not wait for nn answer, but

"No news at all,

"Have you got to got" Lalllo asked,

Tne next three days sped away on
llehtnlng feet The weather seemed, lo
have changed In the most astonishing
fashion, ana was warm and sunny.
Fdvershnm and Mrs. Dundas walked
miles and miles along by the sea and
Inland through the lanes, where already
the trees and lied bob wcro shooting with
llttlo fat spring buds.
Every morning when Faversham ap
pealed at her cottage. Mrs. Dundas
asked htm, half-anxlously, half In run:
"Aro you going to desert me today?
Are you wantea dock in town?
Ana each day
ItAfik his hvart
"Not today." Ilut he was rather con
cerned because there was ho news "f
Tranter, and a letter from Mrs, Tranter,
which had been rent on to him by Orey
eon, Increased his anxiety,
"What has become of rhlllnT" she
asked. "I have not aeon him for mora
than a week, and he never leaves me ilka
this. Come and see me, Miles, and tell
ma how he Is, because, of course, you
will know." . . . .
Faversham read the letter as he waited
outslds In the little porch for Mrs. nun
das to put on her hat
They were going for a long ramble
together that would keep them out to
lunch; the sun was shining and tipping
ths waves with gold. Halt an hour ago
Faversham had felt happy and light
hearted, but this letter from rhfllp's
mother brought a frown to his face and
stirred a faint uneasiness In. his heart.
What had become of PhlllpT Where
could he have gone? It wss so unlike
him to disappear In this fashion. As
he stood there a telegraph boy came up
to the sate: he looked at M'les.and
offered a yellow envelope. "Name Fav-
Araham. hA aniri.
Miles opened the flap hurriedly. The
wire was from dreyson : "Please return
at nni-A. t!r-nL"
Faversham thrust tne paper into n s
flOl
y.
locket "No answer," he said hurried-
Mrs. Dundas came running downstairs
"I'm aults ready. Miles I Isn't It won
derful how punctual I have got. since
you came? What Is the matter?" Her
uiok eyes noticea me gravity oi on
ac.
"I'll tell you as we go along." he
answered. ...
"you mean tnat j-outo going oacx to
town?" she asked, with a little catch
In hr voice.
Tea: tonight." Faversham made the
resolution quicaiy. ureysons -wire ioi-
lowitig 'on Mrs. Tranter s letter, had de
nlded him.
Something had happened to
Phll'p; he was afral
d to speculate as to
what It could oe.
They went out of the gate and down
the road together; Mrs. Dundaa looked
rather. pale. .
"And when will you ..come back,
Miles?" she asked, hesitatingly.
He looked down on her and his face
softened.
"Silly cnnni tou iook as scared as if
I had told you that the end of the world
had come." ......
"I feel more scared," aha totd him,
faintly: "I should not care a bit tf the
end of the world did come, If you were
with me" , . ......
Bhe slipped a nana inio nis. -jhiks,
must you go?" sho asked pleadingly,
"I'm arraia so.-
"And you won't tell me why?"
"Boms day I will."
They walked a little way In alienee.
"t'vn never asked anything of you

said then, rather breathlessly, "I've tried
