Jim took Jane's arm. and drew her to tahe door. The mystified frown upon her forehead was laughable in a way; she looked like a puppy trying to work out how a clock- work mouse ran. As Wm l! U" door was well closed behind them ahe asked: "What on earth WM all that about?"

"I'll tell you afterwards, when I've proved lit really is-wliat I think it ls. COme on, let's get Hughie home."

"You're always going to tell nae everything afterwards," said Jane rather peevishly; but she climbed obedientiy into the car and asked no more questions.

They took Hughle home. It was s somewhat difficult task to explain to his mother what had happen- ed, but seeing her son apparently not much the worse physically, and mentally, if anything, rather bet- ter, she was not unduly suspicious. They drove away again in Austin Hart's oar, and left her to her prob- lems, which were for ever with- out cure.

“Poor Hughisl" said Jane gloom- ily. "He hasn't helped us much, has he?"

“Yes," said Jim, "I rather think he has."

"That's one of the things you're going to explain to me later, I Iudnlose." she said bitterly.

Jim turned his head and smiled at her, “You feel badly about that, don't you?"

She stiffened, and her chin went 11D- "No. of course not. Your theories are entirely your own. But it occ to me that -as it hap- pens to be my brother Who's sup- posed to-to have—-. Biit per- haps it's not really my brother you're interested in."

‘Not ,_ first and foremost," Jim thoughtfully, "though I intend he shall come to grief if I an help it, of course." -

"I see, said Jane, chilled. "Well, I don't blame you. She is lovely- Yes, and she's sweet, too." She was determined to be fair to Thea, for‘ it was most clearly not Theirs fault that she happened to have been born with the face of a new Helen.

"Gifted. too," said Jim with m- thusiasm.

"Ohi" said Jane blankiy.

They sat facing each other, in two brown hide easy chairs sot one on either side of the fireplace. The air between them was shadowy. all the vibrant reflected light splashed over the farthest wail cf the room.

"Well." said Di‘. Wayland, sel- tling himself well back, his glass poised in one hand, "well, you wanted to talk to me about some _ matter or other. By the way, iiow does the boy seem?"

He smiled. Wayland was watch- ing him closely with his heavy, deep~set eyes across the rim of the glass. "Was it about the boy you wank ed to see me?" he asked abruptly. “Not directly, no—-if you mean about his health. No, it's rather about his significance than his health, You see, I can't help feel- ing that Charles Sievier is being left holding the baby over this Austin Hart case."

"I think it quite possible, of course. but not probable. You were here at the time. and you know how damning the circumstances wore.”
