Only a single homestead, at least four mileés away and even then perhaps they would have no means of towing the car out of the stream. she had left her father and mother sheltered under a willow, her mother refused to allow her father to go to find help. Myrle had settled i% by walking off herselif. Now she lsoked dubiousily round the towsring heights of the chaotic hills, hal! hidden behind shifting veils of rain. The town of Christchurch, through which they had driven on their way fr2m the boat, promised little in ‘the way of distraction, even if one could get to it over theseo frightful roads. "It‘s going to be ghasitly," said Myrle aloud, to the towering quiet of the landâ€" scape. "We shall be bored to extinction." She had walked fully another mile when she met a truck. She had the presence of mind to wave to it as it dashed past her, spattering her with mud. It stopped, and she walked back to itâ€"an upâ€"toâ€"date American affair with a<coupe front. "Helo! Something wrong?" The driver leaned acros;s to look out as Myrle came up. He saw a sight quite unexpected in that Icnely countryside. An imperiously lovely face, a pair of proud grey eyes gazing at him with ineffable boredom under a draggled‘but stylish hatâ€"an expensive suit, a lily hand with ruby nails, holding the collar of the coat +ogether. Her voice ssemed to drop from some remote height of superiority : The rain rapidly completed the ruin of her expensive hat. She turned the heet of her shce in a rut in the road, and wrenched her ankle. To have travelled twelve thousand miles to get to such a place! "What madness!" thought Myrle. They were on their way to a siheep fairm her father had bought in the back country. ‘Poverty, not inclination, had driven them to give up all they cared about in Engzland. Her father had spent two years as a "cade*" on a New Zeaâ€" land sheep station in his youth, and pretended that he was longing to get back to the open spaces. But the truth was that when her father‘s money was los in a company fraud they could none cf them face the prospect of genâ€" teel povertry in London. Even Myrle had encouraged her father to sink the last of his capital in ‘this overseas venâ€" teol had last ture "Our car has broken down in the river. Can you tell me where to go for assistance?" Why did his face wear that amused expression as he looked her up and down? Myrle‘s attention was arrested. It was a handsome face with its clean tan, it‘s rather stern jaw, and its arroâ€" gant, redâ€"brown eyes. Annoying eyes. "River?" he repeated. "Oh, you mean the creex further up. Stuck in it, are you? It must be in flood." "I imagine so." "What kind of a car is it?" "An English light car," said Myrle patiently. ‘"Maybe I can tow you out, I‘ve got a repe in the back. Hop in!" He threw open the door for her. A HANDSOME STRANGER Myrle concealed a tendency ‘to hesiâ€" tate, and with a distant ‘"Thank you" got in besidse him. He leaned a musâ€" cular brown arm across her to shut the dcor. His negligent khaki shir‘ and slacks spemed to proclaim him a memâ€" tker of what Myrle would have called "the working classes."

Myrie was surprised enough to look at him inquiringly. HMe kept his gaze on the road ahead, but his lip twitched at the corner as) he concluded: ; "The cars are built too low, and the womin are too high hat!" Completely taken aback, Myrle turned pink. Did he guess she was from "Home," as he called it? Evidently. A less calculated importinence would not have annoyed her. But that was too much! _ Horible man! FProzenâ€"{aced, she gazed out of the window. To her relief he said nc hing more until they came *to the creek.

Myrle was forced to admit that he was remarkably efficient. road on the o‘her side. He got and explained his intentions to Capt Daintry. He went back io the truck, attached the rope to it and sitarted the engine. Three minutes later the car stood dripping on the read. Myrle prepared to cpen the bonnet. "Let me," said the truckâ€"owner. "Thank you, bu‘ I canâ€"â€"" "No, you can‘t!" Myrle stood aside with knitted brows and heightened colour. "Where are you bound for?" their assistant asked with easy curiosity, as he looked under the bonnet. He wadsd ruthlessly into the stream, shoes, slacks and all, and tied the tow repe to the car‘s axle. "A place called Petersdown," said Captain Daintry. "They tell meâ€"ah â€"that it‘s on this road.‘"‘ "Oh!" the other straightened up in surpi;». "Are you Captain Daintry?" "I amâ€"ah? You know Petersdown?" "I own the run next to it. My name is Tellforth. See something of you in the future, I hope. You‘re going up to Petersdown nowâ€"to stay?" H2 looked from Daintry to the ‘two rainâ€"sodden women, with an expresison of quizzical doubt. "Do you think you‘ll be comfortable? The homestead is in a bit of a mess up there," Tellforth said. Captain Daintry looked uneasy. "I haven‘t seen it yet myself; but a friend of mine, Mr. Callan, of Wellingâ€" tion, acted as my agent in buying the place. I understand from him that it‘s â€"ahsâ€"quite simple , but comfortable enough. S poke to the manager, Mills, on the ‘phone this morning, and he‘s â€"â€"ahâ€"expecting us." He didn‘t want to admit that it had been a matter of necessity to go sitraight up to the place; it would have been awkward to have to raise the cash to keep his wife and daughter in an hotel in Christchurch. "As sson as| we can get this stupid car to go!‘" Mrs. Daintry assured him fretfully. "Yes, but it‘s more than five months since Callan was up ‘there," siaid Tellâ€" forth. "Nc one has lived in the homeâ€" stead for six months, and there aren‘t any women up there. I don‘t know how you people will get on." Sorhething in the way in which he said "you people"â€"his glance strayed to the knifeâ€"edge crease down Captain Daintry‘s trousersâ€"made Myrle say coldly : "I‘m perfectly certain that we shall manage quite well!" TROUBLES INCREASE Tellforth, remembering what the comâ€" municative Callan had told him about the Daintrys‘ financial condition, guessed the probable truth of the matâ€" ter. He checked his objections and said cheerfully: "Well, Callan has got you some firs‘â€" class land up there. And you have a good shepherd in Joe Mills, even if he hasn‘t much idea of the comforts ladies require." He shot a faintly ironical glance Myrle, who ignored it. Tellforth, worked rapidly, and five minutes later he had the car ready for the road. They started off ahead of him but he overtook them after they had gone halfâ€"aâ€"mile. He stopped the truck and leaned out: "We‘re on the same party line ‘phone. If you want any help ring me upâ€"LWO long rings and a short one. If Mrs. Daintry wants anything, Mrs. Kane, at ‘Greystoke‘, will do all she can. T‘ll lock in on you toâ€"morrow." He waved and drove on. "Help!"® Evidently a friendly neighâ€" "Help!" Evidently a friendly neighâ€" bourhood. But he had definitely disâ€" turbed them. Was it going to be even rougher and more uncomfortable than they had feared? Chilled and weary, they drove on into exile, into fading daylight, further into the rainâ€"swept hills. Some seven miles on they came into the open. Before them lay a vast river valey, a grey bed of shingle, walled by brocmâ€"covered cliffs. Beyond it the hills rose tier on tier to the ramparts of five thousand foot mountains, with heads fantastically veiled in rain. "It‘s all so appallingly large!" Myrle commented. ‘The road wound on along the nearer slopes. A mile or two along the valley ‘hey came to a gate inscribed with the one wordâ€"*"Petersdown." Nervously, Daintry wondored unâ€" happily whether he had done the right thing in bringing his wife and Myrle on this venture, after all. He got out io open the gate.
