He had read only too correctly her inâ€" tentions with regard to Hearn. *~"Shall I see you toâ€"morrow, Jenny?" he asked, a wistfulness creeping into the manly Cornish voice. _ Meantime Jenny had taken herself to her room, feeling angry and humiliâ€" ated. Bhe flushed with chagrin as she stood in the darkness of the clean and shining bedroom, realizing how flagrant her attempts must have been for Tom. the most uncritical of men, to have read into them so serious an intention towards Harry Hearn. With that Tom had to be content. He made his way miserably across the road to the little house in the yard of Thos. Gray and Son, the little house where he had been born, and his father before him. "I‘ve no wish to quarrel," she retorted, "but you shan‘t shame me again as you have toâ€"night, Tom Gray." With which she whisked away from him. He caught her hand, a pretty, plump little hand, which lay softly, yet unâ€" yileldingly, in his great workâ€"hardened "Come, Jenny," he pleaded, "let‘s not quarrel over Harry Hearn." "That‘s as may be," she answered tartly, not unmindful of the fact that she had no other plans.

He closed the conversition in a bantering fashion and went to his "Why should he mind? He‘s not my husband, you know. We‘re not even enâ€" gaged really. Besides," mischievously, "he needn‘t know." mind. . Instead his thoughts swiftly turned to Momentarily, Harry felt a fool. He had not reckoned on the remark being taken seriously. "Wihat would Tom say? T don‘t want to upset him. Can‘t have trouble between business partners, you know." He tried to keep the talk in a light vein.> Jenny Marlowe gave him no opporâ€" tunity to retract. Would you really? T‘d just adore it." : He spoke jestingly. It was the gipsy recklessness in him which prompted a speech that his Cornish wariness would have shied at. "Well, why don‘t you get Tom to take you along?" <‘Tom doesn‘t dance.‘" She sooke with exasperation. "Well, you must teach himâ€"or else T‘ll have take you along myself." "What about Polsands?" he suggestâ€" ed. "They have a dance there every week, don‘t they?" Jenny‘s violet eyes sparkled. "Oh, yes, and I do so love dancing, butâ€"â€"" the eyes lost their gaeity. "No, it‘s pretty quiet her, I must say," said Harry sympathetically." Cullwyn was all right when you‘d knocked about a bit, and he was genuinely happy in the prospect ‘of settling down in the old placeâ€"in between trips to the States, of course. But for a lively young girl with all her life before her it must be pretty dull. He was in an expansive mood and felt Sorry for Jenny. "A bit of fun?" That sounded good to Jenny in her present mood. "Oh, ves, you‘re right, Mr. Hearn. But there‘s mowhere to go in this deadâ€"andâ€"alive place." They have quarrelled thought. Harry. Aloud, he said, "Come, Jenny, what you want is to go out for a little fun. It‘d do you no end of good.‘" "Sure, that‘s no compliment, Jenny, It‘s just the truth. You‘re not going to tell me that Tom has forgotten to tell you you‘re pretty!" ‘"Pretty girl, indeed! ‘You and your conpliments, Mr. Hearn! You know you don‘t mean a word!" 6 "Oh, Tom." Jenny‘s tone was peevish. "He takes too much for granted. Jenny pretended not to understand. But she seized quickly on the opening he had given her. ~ "Why, surely, when a pretty girl looks down in the dumps it‘s a case of find the man." Jenny madd no pretence of resenting such familiarity. Indeed it gave her the opportunity she was seeking. "Why, Jenny,‘" he chaffed her one morning, as he was leaving the hotel for his beloved House on the Hill, "you‘re not your old self these days. Not, quarrelled with Tom, have you?" ‘"Whatever makes you think that, Mr. Hearn?‘"‘ shae retorted. Hearn, himself unaware of the trend things were taking, was nevertheless constrained to notice that Jenny‘s manâ€" ner had lost something of. 1ts sprightâ€" liness. in him, and ha found a pretty face an iiresistibld lure. But the acquisition of the trawling business, and his eager planning for the House on the Hill had left little time for any sentimental diâ€" version. But he was also conscious of the unwisdom of poaching on Tom Gray‘s preserves. He knew that the business could only continue to make money as long as he could have the use of Tom‘s experience, and a quarrel With Tom would be fatal; Still, Harry Hearn would not have been the man he was if Jenny‘s overâ€" tureg had been, unable to rouse in him an ‘answering interest. For although she had avoided an actual break with Tom, Jenny now set herself seriously to capturing Harry Hearn for a husband. | As for ~Hearn, the indifference he showed to the attentions and attracâ€" tiveness of Jenny was more feigned than real. The gipsy blood ran warm Indeed, he dismissed it from his "Sorry, Sarah," he apoligized, "I exâ€" pect I ‘ve been boring â€"you. But I thought you might perhaps be interâ€" eted now that you are contemplat.mg reâ€" modelling the Hall!" Sarah laughed in spite of herself "Of course, I‘m interested, Stuart,‘" she said earnestly. ‘"Do you think Mr. Graffham could spare me an hour or two in between his arduous work on the House on the Hill, as I believe it 1s to be called?" "I‘m sure he could, my dear Sarah. Would you like me to speak to him about it. Or perhaps you would prefer to make the appointment yourselfâ€"â€"" Always the diffident Stuart! . Sarah almost loved him for his everâ€"ready willingness to efface himself. Almost! At the moment they both chanced to look across to the bordering hedgerow which separated them from the acquired lands of Harry Hearn. And there, on a slight eminence on: his side of the hedge, his handsome dark gipsy head thrown slightly back at what seemâ€" ed to Sarah a distinctly arrogant angle stood the owner himself. ; ‘ Was it Sarah‘s imagination of threat in his It seemed to explain why he"had chosen this land, so close to her property for his home "Well, he is wrong, if that‘s his idea,” Sandy â€" "So you had dinner with anewgirllastplght Whatsahenke" "Well, as a matter of fact, have. I met him in Polsands the other day. He seems quite taken up with Hearn‘s house. For Hearn‘s house it undoubtâ€" edly is, as Graffham himself admitted to me. â€"He says Hearn‘s quite an artist in his way, though a very practicaly artist, I gather! â€" Anyway, young Graffâ€" ham seems full of admiration for his ideas." Kndeed." Sarah‘s tone was irritatingly frigid, but Stuart laughed with the kindly conâ€" descension of a man who ftels he has been talking over aâ€" women‘s head. ‘"Yes,. of course. We were . talking of him, weren‘t we?" She snapped the little white lie at him, quite unable to carry her nonchalance beyond the acâ€" tval denail of any interest in Harry Hearn. j Stuart was surprised at her tone but as always, gave the soft answer. "Have you seen anything of him lately?" Sarah ‘felt the question was pumped out of her. She was sure she had not intended to make it. "Who? Graffham?" iWas it possible men could be so obâ€" tuse? ‘Or was Stuart just being delibâ€" erately tantalizing? If that were, the case, she‘d show him! "Yes, I believe so," Stuart agreed inâ€" nocently. Sarah‘s tone was elaborately casual. No man could be expected to compreâ€" hend the strange mixture of scorn, cuâ€" riosity, resentment, and yes, heartâ€"ache, with which that prosaic statement was charged. "Yes, I suppose that will be necessary. I hear he‘s doing the planning for that man Hearn, who has decided to perch himself on Amerley Hill." ‘"My dear Sarah," laughed Stuart, gratified but anxious to bolster up Sarah‘s evident satisfaction with herself. "I have done nothing. Aunt Aggie is absolutely charmed with you. I have never known her take to anybody so warmly before. And your ideas on reâ€" construction and modernizing have won her heart. I must say they have amazed me. I suppose you Wlll consult young Graffham before get.tmg the builders ln 99 "Of course L owe it all to you, really, Stuart she admitted generously, as they ambled their horses along the hedgeâ€" rows bordering the Cullwyn â€" Hall estate; but to herself she reserved a certain amount of smug satisfaction in which Stuart had no part. After all, it had been her idea, it was her Hall, and It was her talent for organizing and gift for "hostessing" ~that had made the thing possible. But as she rode along that morning in company with Stuart Benson she was feeling well satisfied with the sucâ€" cess which she had achieved in so short a time. With such recommendation, Sarah Gifford felt she would soon be justified in launching the Hall open as an hotel, though of course, a certain amount of expense was entailed in necessary alâ€" terations and improvements to bring the building in line with the requirements of a modern private guest house. CHAPTER VI SARAH IN A NEW ROLE Aunt Aggie, as referred to in smart society papers Lady Agatha Crowsâ€" worth, had, to use Stuart Benson‘s exâ€" pression "turned up trumps." She had installed herself as a paying guest at Cullwyn‘Hall. From three weeks she had extended her visit to an indefinite period, and; had induced several of her friends to come and join her there. that this was the hour when every morning she was out riding across the meadows which bordered his own newâ€" lyâ€"acquired estate. Sometimes he had passed her, but she had given no sign of recognition. He had persisted in his walks, however, feeling that sometime she would have at least to acknowâ€" ledge his presence. He was resolved not to miss her. "Why not?" he laughed cheerfully. "But, mind, not a word to Tom!" Winkâ€" ing gaily at the girl he let in the clutch and the car slid gently and effortlessly awayâ€"towards Sarah Gifford. As he was about to drive off Jenny appeared at the side of the car. "Did you mean this Saturday, Mr. Hearn?" she asked breathlessly. The recklessness which was at times a blessing to him, and at others a bane, seized him now. â€" "Everything on the menu." â€" country.. After they were fastened in their cells, the two fighters decided to renew the combat. Accordingly one of them managed to get out of his cell and he released the other, the two then making use of the space in front of A ‘fight in the police cells twenty years ago was referred to in The Adâ€" vance at that time as follows:â€" "Last week two men were arrested as a result of a drunken brawl.

Newton suggested the "advisability ‘of sidewalks to conâ€" ‘nect the two new schools with the town. In a note on the front page, The Adâ€" vance commented on the fact that after Oct. Ist, 1923, only inland revenue. stamps were to be used‘ on cheques, etc. It had been the custom to use postage stamps for cheques, but this was being stopped by the Government, as the revâ€" enue of the two departments was being confused in the use of postage stamps for other ‘than postal use. The Adâ€" vance pointed out that in either case the Government received the same revâ€" enue (in fact they might get more from postage stamp use, because they were so much more convenient) and so the convenience of the public should be the only consideration. The use of postage stamps for this nuisarnce tax was acâ€" cordingly urged as a convenience to the public. Twenty years ago The Advance warnâ€" ed hunters that the«law forbade shootâ€" ing. after sundown. The law in this n'eg»ard was called to a.ttention in view of the fact that many were carrying their shooting on into the evening hours, and this was going to get someâ€" ‘body into trouble sooner or later.
