“All the same a charabanc came along Just. now. Reporters, I sup- pose, golng to have a look at Sitta- ford House."

“Did you know Captain Trevelyan well?" asked Emily.

She was of opinion that the inci- dent of the bull terrier had been a mere subterfuge on captain ‘Wyatt's part dictated by a very natural cur- losity. She was. she was well aware, the principal object of attention in Slttaford at present, and it was only natural that Captain Wyatt should wish to have a look at her as well as everyone else.

"I don't know about well." said Captain Wyatt. "l-le sold inc this cottage."

"Yes." said Emily encouragingly.

"A skinfllnt, that's what he was." said Captain Wyatt. "The arrange- ment was Just that he was t0 filo the place up to suit the purchaser's tastemnd lust because 1 had the window sashes in chocolate picked out in lemon. he wanted me to pay half. Said the arrangement was for a uniform color."

The results of this exalted idea of living were not too hopeful, Emily reflected. Anything more like a bat- tered wrcck of a man than Captain Wyatt she had never seen. l-Ier cur- iosity sufficiently satisfied. she mentioned her appointment again and went on her way.
