"Why?" asked the Colonel ear- nestly. “Women like that can never play a, decent game oi bridge."

“Colonel? protested both o! the women at once, and Tim Horlot grinned .15 the Colonel attempted to hluiulvx‘ lll5 way out.

The following week when Dr. Barnwell next visited Mrs. Fossick she found the gardener and his wife back in the Lodge.

“Has the new tenant arrived yet” she fiSkEd as she rose to no.

“A Scotswcmsn. apparently?"

“You're staying on. o! course?"

"So fut‘. Miss MvKt-rhnie seemed to assume that I was."

"When lr Mr. Brcreton coming?"

"I can't rightly say. There's a lot more furniture coming down from town tomorrow and more from abroad next week. And n lot of valunhlo pit-turns, Miss MuKci-h- nie has; been with him for more than twenty years, she told me."

"It will be good to have some- the doctor said as she turned to the door.

"Isn't there a Mrs. Brereton?" sho it-ent on.

“Can't say. Doesn't look like it, but I didn't ask her. She's not the kind oi’ woman who welcomes questions."

Dr. Bamwell was getting into her

"That's 'im!" he aaid hurriedly. "I'd best get along and see what's to do, doctor."

He turned away and hurried down the drive after his new mn- tea‘.

The second gardener and the boy had both observed their mas- ter's arrivul and were busily at twork. The daffodils and crocuscs which bordered the suave lawn satisfied even Fosslck’: critical eye as he made his way to the seed beds at the side or the house.

He was very busy indeed a iew minutes late;- when w. Brereton (allowed him.

"Hallo. Fossick! I'm here sooner than I said. The gardens veiy attmctlve."

“Though I aayl it as shouldn't, slr. you'll go a long way to tind a hetter. It's a summer garden resi- ly, sir. The roses are fine. The rose gardens through this way."

Master and man walked around together and Fossick smiled in- Wardly nt the almost unnatural industry exhibited by his two coi- leaizties as they passed.

“That's why I bought the house." Paul Brereton said suddenly, in- dicaiing=an immonse cedar tree o! the for end ol tho garden.

"There's not a finer one in the country," Foulck agreed.

"It's sheer beauty." Brenton said quietly.

one of them.”

"I remember that Mr. Herlot-r he's the drawing master at the school, sir-went in for the deep end about the old cedar. There must be something in it for ariis~ lit‘ rzrntlomon."

"It's like a Japanese print. I'm going to like this, Fossick."

"I hope so, sir. I assure you."

"Have you been here long?"

"I came hero as a boy of four- teen. That's thirty-five years ago."

"I shouldn't think you'd gut lll'f‘(l of a lace like this."

Fossick ganced as his employer and said: “Get bored, you mean, sir? Dr. Barnwell told my missus that boredom was the greatest modern disease."

"That's the local doctor?"

“It's a lady. sir."

“So far. I have always gut bored-with places. I've spent the last twelve months in the south oi! France. The hard. brilliant sun-

shine got on my nerves. I wanted
