talked out of the room. Ho pushed Grey-

Grtyson followed at his fieeU. They
went to ihe ttatlon and made Inquiries,
but nobody who In the least ar.swored
to either Tranter's description or Lallle's
hid left the vlllrse.
"I know the lady well I should have
leer her If the'd gone," the master of
the snail station assured him He was
looklns at Fnvershain's white- face.
"Nothing wrong. I hope, sir?"
, "v snld itlles hoarsely. "There Is.
Mrs. Dundas hasn't been homo all nlKht."
It was getting dusk very quickly now,
and If there was to ba a ncarcli mndn,
Miles know that ovcry one in -the vltlaqti
must soon hear of It.
Ajouth who had been hanging around
listening came up to them.
"If it's the lady from the cottage
you're asking about," ho volunteered
rather awkwardly, "I see her last ovo

There was a moment's silence.

A gleam of hopo sprang Into Faver

only a small boulder covered with dark,
slimy reaweed, and for a moment Faver
sham stopped and turned his face to
the sea, fighting for breath. Tho dread
of what might have been almost buuu

the other two rejoined him, and his voiue

".Vlgh on a quarter of a mile," the

A sudden weakness seized Faversham.
SSin'-i' as lf h,. would tM- For an
Instant he could not move forward.
All power seemed to have deserted his
limbs. The other two men had gono on,
not noticing. '
S06"?1 ,r' slant effort, he
pulled hlmselC together and followed.
His body felt ns It wero out In loe.
Each step cost him an actual physical
pain.
Then, ahead of his, through the) dark
ness, came suddenly the spurt of a
match.
Faversham caught his breath so hard
that It was almost a cry. Ho tried to
run, but his feet seemed chained. Qrey
son cams back to him. Even through
tho darkness tho pallor of his face was
apparent.
He tried to speak, but no words would
come. Faversham gripped his arm In
Iron fingers.
"What !s it? What Is It?" Hui
though ho asked he did not wait for
a reply. He staggered forward to
whero that little spur of light had spli
tho dnrltnesH. Tho fisherman who had
led them was on Ills knees beside some
dark, stiil object, which lay some dis
tance from tho edgo of tho sea and closo
to the cliff's foot.
Ho struck another match Just an
Faversham and Qreyron reached hiiu.
and tho sudden flickering light rovealed
the huddled body of a man, lying on his
back, with outllung arms, face turneu
to the windy sky,
Greyson bent down, only to start back
with a smothered cry. but Miles Faver
sham stood Immovable, Ilka a iuu
turned to stone, for the man was Philip
Tranter, and It needed no words to tell
ho was dead.
'Tli hii awkward thing tn play with emils,
And matter enoush to aav ono'i own.
Vet think of my friends, and tho burning
coals
He played with, for blto of atone.
Faversham always felt that It wab
from tho moment when he stood on the
windswept shore, looking down at the
dead face of hts friend, that he began
to grow old.
It was his fault! He alone wns to
blame for this tragedy; something
within him seemed to wither and die Ow,
he knelt down on the loose sand and
mechanically laid a hand on his friend's
body.
"Philip " Hef was unconscious of
tho wild appeal In hln voice, but the
other men heard It, and Qreyson an
awtied It with a tremble of vet; itsai
emotion In his voice.
"Mr. Tranter Is dead, sir."
Oreyson himself was terribly
tated. His life with Faversham
hitherto been uneventful and undla
turbed. and the last twenty-four hours
had plunged htm deeply Into a tragedy
which he did not understand.
Faversham stnggcred to his feet; his
faco woo gray. The folks from the vil
lage who had volunteered to assist Ip
the search hod Joined them now; they
clustered round the silent figure at lie
foot of the fllff, all talking together. It
was a rare oxeftement for them.
Favorsham walked blindly away, fol
lowed by tho faithful Oreyson. "And
Mm Dundas, sir?" the man ventured
nervously.
All his life he remembered his mas
ter's faco and voice as he answered
him.
"I can't I enn't bear It Besides
what's the good? She's gone, too oh,
my Clod I It's all my fault. What shall
I tell his mother?"
