Iet vi find a geed one for the next race, le said. .... l j i Uut Audrev had lest n great deal of br enthusiasm. She was shocked by the Idea that Hnrkncss might have de liberately run his horse te lee, know ing n he must, that thousands of pco pce ple'hnd staked their money en It. She thought of Leis of herself. Thb man did net cure for anybody! He train tiled ruthlessly through life, seeking only llen ends! Everybody seemed afraid "He's n bully!" She repented it te herself. It was prebnblu that nobody lid ever confronted him nnd given him candid opinion of himself. lie had ihamcfully used her. nnd eenped un scathed. He hnd deluded the public. He was betraying the confidence of l.eI. And still it seemed that he could win through without chance of punish ment. Audrey possessed nil the reurnje and itfngth of the Conningtens, nnd the trait emphasized itself as thine thoughts flashed through, her mind. It was time Hnrkncss was 'stepped. At least. I.eis should he spared the humiliation he had Inflicted en her. She told herself thnt she would go te him, cost what it might. The numbers went up after the last race, nnd Picslew drove Audrey uwny from the course. They turned te the rljht en the Kdenhrldge reed, and missed the great volume of traffic which urged toward Croyden nnd Londen. "Shnll we have tea somewhere?" isled Preslew; "and go for u long ride round? Or are you tired?" "I should like a ride," said Audrey, "which way would you go?" "Out through Penshurst, Tiinhrldge Wells, through Tunhrldge te the Mnld Mnld itene read, and Imcle round Ighthnin and Scvenenks. It's the most glorious country you could ever wlh te see." They hud ten. nnd the yellow car iwung off en her long run. Audrey felt itransely restful. The country was n fairyland in the softening light, and the went In the air the nectar of the gods. In Ightham they spent half nn hour. Audrey thought it the most delightful place she had ever Fcen. The twilight had settled when they topped Pelhill. The read was deserted, and Preslew fwung the yellow car in te the right land hedge nnd pulled up. With the topping of the engine's bent n great lljnce came down en them.

It had never occurred te hcr te regard him ns anything but a friend with whom It was always possible te spend a pleasant day. She eyed him stendlly, nnd it needed nil IiIh training, nil his sunvc skill In difficult situations, te maintain his sang freld before the unintentional nccusatlen which lurked in hcr eyes. He thought she might be rending him as he read himself. It wns only after ward that he realized hew Impossible that was. "Audrey!" Audrey's lips moved. She did net knew whnt te say. She only knew that she crnved for strong arms about her, nnd love laid unstinting at her feet, even ns hcr own love had been laid. And this man wns offering it. "I hnrdly knew." Prcslew followed het en his advan tage. "Yeu must, dear," he urged. "Don't tell me I have hoped in vain." His fnce wns very close te hers. Audrey felt her decision swaying. "One dny I will answer," she faltered. "I cannot de se new." A little nnln showed in Prcslew's eyes. She added: "Hut I think I shnll trv. I think thnt I shall love you one dny." "My dear I" whispered Prcslew. He drew hcr te him nnd she sub mitted te his embrace, unresisting nnd silent. Yet when he kissed her hcr lips wcre cold like Ice. The yellow car thrummed onward up the hill, and the darkness crept up from the eastern skies. "Mamma, I have something te tell you." It wns the morning after Audrey- had been te Llngtleld Knees with' Prcslew, and she nnd her mother were break fasting nlene. Aunt Ella was taking her menl In bed. , VY?S?.! Aulrey thought Constance loeKed old, and in her voice wns a great weariness. "Mr. Prcslew proposed te me last evening." Censtnnce broke n piece of toast with methodical precision, nnd then left It ou hcr plate. "Propebed te you?" she echoed, dully. "Yes." said Audrey, with some doubt In her tone. She had sufficient vanity te hope that hcr mother would net nppenr Incredulous of her statement. Censtnnce sipped nt her coffee. She wanted n few seconds in which te think. Preidew had proposed te Audrey. She knew Prcslew well enough te realize thnt he could net love Audrey. He was tee much In love with himself. She told herself that his reason for the pro pre poa was obvious. He must knew the intentions of his uncle in regard te Audrey. ThU effort nt marriage wns worthy of his tortuous mind. It wns a sure way out of any diffi culty which might confront him If Audrey )v(,r rctilr,u.,i te her father. whnt did you say te him, Audrew?" she nsked. Audrey hesitated. "I nm verv un Jinppy, mamma." she nnswered quietly. 'I hardly knew what te suy. Last night I thought I might grew te love him. He seemed te offer all thnt I wanted, nil I had missed since since that dreadful time. Hut new I just feel cold nbeut it. I hardly think I should miss him if I never saw him ngain. And yet I find myself wondering I nm afraid I de net understand." Incomplete Surrender Censtnnce studied hcr. She could realize something of Audrey's feelings. "Whnt did you say te him?" she repeated. "I told him te wnlt. That one dny I might core for him. He kissed me." Censtnnce bit her lip. She knew better thnii Audrey hew far the sur render hnd gene. Alse she knew ex actly hew en.sy it would be for Prcslew te mnke that surrender complete. She spoke very slowly. "Audrey before you finally say yes, come and see me. Will you premise te de thnt?" "Yes, mamma." They were silent for some time. Audrey was vainly endeavoring te pierce the fog of her own thoughts nnd de sires. ('Anstnnce wuh wondering dumbly whither nil this was leading; striving desperately te smother and kill nn im pulse which, ns the dajs passed, was growing stronger und stronger within hcr. At lust Audrey said: "Can you tell me Mr. Hnrkness' address?" "Why de ou want it?" Censtnncc's tone was cold and her eyes suddenly very nlert. "I wunt te call en him." Audrey's mnnner hnd none of Its previous hesi tation, but was sure and steady. "Yeu want te call en hlin? Have you taken leave of your senses?" There was the slightest suspicion of anger . the questions. Audrey shook her hend. "Ne. But there are one or two things I wish te snv te him which I think should be said te him by some one." Censtnnce wns about te ask for de tails, but checked herself. She was realizing hew llke her father Audrey wns, both in features nnd the directness of her methods. About her chin, deli cately feminine though it was, was nil the latent strength which lurked in Conningteu's face. "Yeu are net going te de anything foolish, Audrey?" she asked. Audrey blushed, nnd Constance has tened te apologize. "I am serrj, dear. I should net have said thnt. Hnrkncss has n Hat In Arlington Mansions, just behind St. .lames'. But I should net call en him without first notifying hint of the fact, or you will find your journey wasted. He Is hui'dly ever there." "I will write him today," snJd Audrey. She posted the letter immediately after breakfast, nnd in It told Hark ncss she would call en him the follow ing morning nt 11 o'clock. She did net trouble te give him time te reply. Arlington Mansions were a great block of Hats of the highest class, and Audrey found Hnrkncss living en the first fleer. He was waiting for her. The room in which lie received her wns evidently his favorite ap.trtnient. The walls were paneled and relieved by only three pictures, One of these pic tures wns a photograph of the Cen turion. Anether was an exquisite little water-color of an English country lnnc. The third was a picture of an exciting finish te n big ir.oter race en n tre mendous track which Audrey did nor recegnh'e. Audrey felt that hoc wanted te take the water-color down. Under the picture of the Centurion was a len rack filled with blackened pipes. The furniture wns heavy end .Tnrebenn In design. Twe enormous dlvan chairs fronted (he (ircpluce, nnd the table was Uttered with newspapers and journals. The untidiness was nppnlllug. and Its masculinity almost made Audrey like uu Intruder. She was uwnre that Hnrkncss searching her face anxiously ns hesitated In the deem ay, and smiled up lit hlm. "1 hope I haven't upset your rnugemeuts for this morning," bul (I. "I never have any arrangements," answered Ilarkucss. "I am mere than pleased te see you. Will jnu sit down? Your mother knows about this?"
