"It was only that I did not want to blame the wrong person.

Their thoughts before the actual meeting were not dissimilar. To Mark, here came the man who had caused all the trouble, for, as Mark worked it out, Barbour had not only stolen Jill from him, but had some mysteriâ€" ous finger in some -m& which had led to the murder. George had said as much, and old George did not say empty things, To Barbour, Mark was anathema, because he had shown so clearly his dislike of him. Further, Mark enjoyâ€" ed Jill‘s confifidence, called her by her Christian name and was the onâ€" ly other man about whom Jill seemed to trouble. Some intuition told him that Mark was behind J!ll‘s attitude to him today. Perhaps, in a way, he was right, for Jill had not gone through her experience with Mark that morting without appreciating the strength of Mark‘s character, without failing to admire the manner in which he spoke to her for her own derstand. Still, as Mark cogitated upon these things, he was not pleased to have his thoughts broken by the apDearance of the man who, he considered, had dore him more harm than any man living. We had his own views of the engagement between Jil and Barbour, but his sensitive nature made hbim visualise himself in th elight, Indirectâ€" ly, of an employee of Barbour‘s. It was intolerable, and was made more so by Barbour‘s greeting. "Goodâ€"day, Manson." " ‘*ay‘‘ said Mark as, with native politeness, he stood aside to allow Phillip to cross the stile which the two men had reached almost simulâ€" tancously.
