faith and the future were the se-

shiver.
More than once he looked furtively

slipped into the dim shadow of the

Half-past 6. Still no sign of Mar-
fin, as the three men waited by the
estuary at the foot of the garden
at Manorways.
The tide was running swiftly out
to sea, deep in shadow between its
wide banks, with the light of a young
moon breaking only occasionally out
of an overcast sky of. ragged drifting
clouds, to gleam on the turbid eddy-
ing waters.
“Half past 6. I wonder if he’s com-
ing?" said Haste impatiently. Then
suddenly, a minute later: “My God!
What's that? Did you see it?”
Out in the stream a dark object
was being carried down by the tide
that a momentary gleam of moon-
light had picked out from die shad-
ows. F<r a startled instant Haste
could almost have persuaded him-
self that it was a white drowned
face . . . then almost with his cry the
moonlight faded out and the shad-
ows closed in again, as the drifting
indistinguishable object was swept
past.
“Just a trick of the moonlight, of
course. Queer how one can imagine
things!” said Haste with a laugh
that was half a shiver. “Hang Mar-
tin! 1 wish he’d come, if lie’s com-
ing”
But already Martin had come—
come by water, as he had said he
would—come and passed on into the
darkness, with cold lips sealed for-
ever, as they waited all unknow-
ing. . .
It was a little more than two hour?
