Was it not his\nduty to bring them together? The\nman hat. boon startled when he had\nheard that she was alive, had seemed as if he eared. I'he struggle raged within Sutcombe's mind for a\nminute or two; then he said, hoarse-\nly: I\n\"Stop! I\u2014I can't let you go like\nthis. 1 wish to heaven you hud not I\ncome here, thut we hndn't met; but\nwe have und\u2014I told jou an untruth\nJust now when I said Misa Wood\nwas huppy, She is not.\"\nVanu looked at him gravely, intently.\n\"She is fretting over something\nthat has happened in the past, something in which you wero concerned.\nI think it would be as well if you\nwere to meet her. She is hero on this\nisland.\"\nVano started and went white.\nThere was silence for a full minute,\nthen he said, hoarsely:\n\"It would do no good; a meeting\nwith me would only cause the ludy\npain\u2014\"        .   \"\n\"In a word,\" cut in Sutcombe,\nhotly, \"you are alraid to meet her.\nYou hnve behuved so badly that you\nshrink from facing her. It is as I\nsuspected. You are a coward, Mr.\nMortimer.\"\nVane's face went white, but he bit\nhis lip and, breathing hard, restrained himself.\n\"Yes,\" he said, quietly, \"I am a\ncoward\u2014but not quite the same\nkind you think me, Lord Sut-\ncombo.\"\n\"I'm not good at making nice distinctions ol that sort,\" retorted\nSutcombe, fiercely. \"A man who\nslinks off as you are doing is a common or garden coward who deserves\nhorsewhipping. I'vo no whip, but\u2014\"\nHalf mad with anger and the bitterness borne of the eltuation, he\ncaught up a bit of a branch of a\ntree which he had been using, and\nmade to striko Vane across the face,\nbut Vane, dropping his gun, caught\nSutcombe's arm and averted the\nblow. Sutcombo endeavored to\nwrench himself from the steel-liko\ngrasp: and almost before they know\nit the two men were struggling.\nThey wore equally matched in\nstrength ancl skill, but the gun,\nwhich they had disregarded, played\na third hand.

Ho was disappointed. Painful, indeed, seeing\nthat she had never mentioned his\nname, for if sho had done so Lord\nSutcombe would have known that\n\"Richard Mortimer\" was a false\none. It was ovident that she still disliked him, still regarded her forced\nmarriage with regret and resentment. He stifled a sigh.\n\"Thank you,\" ho said. \"I wish I\ncould be ns candid as you have been,\nLord Sutcombe, but my lips are\nclosed. I will go on board and set\nsail presently, and, as I told you, I\nshall not return to the island \" He\npaused a moment, then he said: \"We\nboth rather plnyod the giddy goat\njust now.

Just as\nwoll, perhaps, if wc confined the\nknowledge of that absurd little scene\nto ourselves?\" Sutcombe regarded\nhim silently and Vane wont on: \"lf\nyou think you got the hotter of the\nbusiness you can equalize matters by\npromising that you will not toll\u2014\nthe ladies anything of the affair, or\nof my presence on the island.\"\nSutcombe considered for a moment\nor two.\n\"I will\u2014on one condition,\" he\nsaid. \"That you give me your word\nof honor that the lady I call Miss\nWood has no cause of complaint\nagainst you.\"\nVano looked surprised. \"I assent\nto your condition, Lord Sutcombe.\nShe has none. I have not willingly\ninjured the lady in word or thought\nor deed.   There Is my hand on it!\"\nSutcombo took it and nodded\ngravely.\n\"There is some mystery which I\ncannot solve,\" he said in a low\nvoice. \"But I believe you and trust\nyou.

This man, with the frank blue\neyes and pleasnnt manner, was evidently in love with Nina, and she\u2014\nof course she returned his love. Why\nnot? Was he not the sort of young\nfellow any girl might love? And he,\nVane, stood between them; in short,\nburred their happiness and wrecked\ntheir lives. It was the irony of\nInto thut he should be doomed to be\nthe marplot, the obstacle to other\npersons' happiness. He had stood between Julian and the Lesborough\npeerage; he had stood between Julian and Judith, nut he had, by the\naid of Chance, effaced himself in\ntheir case. Could he not efface himself is this one? Why not? He pondered, with an increasing bitterness,\nfor hours, and at last he arrived al\nsomething like a decision. He still\nfelt faint with the loss of blood, and\nvery tired, and, lying down, with\nhis arm for a pillow, he fell uslccp.\n.Sutcombe had promised to return\nby five, but he did not arrive, and\nas the half hours dragged on with\nno sight of him, the girls, Vivienne\nespecially,  grew  uneasy.\n\"lio you think anything could have\nhappened to him?\" she snid anxiously, \"lie is usually so careful not\nto he late, knowing that we should\nbe alarmed. Think of him all alone\nthere, denr!\"\n\"I don't think anything has happened to him,\" said Nina; but I will\nsoon  find  out.\"\n\"Decimal You wouldn't go out\nthere nlone!\" exclaimed Vivicnne\nfearfully and yet half wistfully.\n\"Why not?\" said Nina, with a\nsnillc. \"1 have often boen as far on\nthe Island alone, nnd 1 am not\nafraid; indeed, there ts nothing to\nbe afraid of.

When she rouched the working\numl found that he was not there,\nshe felt rather aliirmed. .She stood\nlooking round her anxiously, nud snw\nthe fool murks leading in the direction of the Beach, Still more anxious, she followed them for some ilis-\ntiiiice, and presently, to her ninu\/e-\nineiil. caught sight of the yawl.

(Laughter.)\nIn anticipation of a large number of\nvisitors being attracted who would desire to become acquainted with tho other notable people of Stratford-on-Avon,\ntho defendants produced sets of picture postcards, entitled \"The Distinguished Authors Series, No. 1.\"\nMiss Corelll nt once took objection to\nthe cards, and if his lordship would look\nat them and at a recent photograph of\nthe lady he would seo what a gross libel had been perpetrated on her features. (Laughter.)\nOne of the cards was called \"Shakespeare and his contemporaries,\" which\nlooked as lf the defendants wished to\nsuggest that Shakespeare was a contemporary of Miss Corelll. (Laughter.) The publication of the cards had\ncaused Miss Corelll tjjpch annoyance.\nOne of tho cards complained of rep\nresented Miss Corelll presenting a cup\nto the Stratford-on-Avon Boat Club,\nand t'ho defendant said he was present\non the occasion and lt was the best\nrepresentation he could give from mem\nory of the features of the lady who was\nso gracefully presenting the cup. An\nother card showed Miss Corelll ln a\ngondola, and tho defendant said lt depleted what had occurred last summer\non tho Avon. A card styled \"Sweets to\ntho Sweet\" displayed a pony carriage\noutside Miss Corelh's house, and a further picture depleted the lady playing\nwith a pet dog on a lawn. The latter\nwas admitted to be purely imaginary.\nMiss Corelll had no dog.\nCounsel said he thought thero was aj\ncase here which would have to be trled*|\nas to tho right of a person not only to\nher own features, but to features which\ndid not belong to her.   (Laughter.)\nMr. Scott Thompson (with Mr. Eve)\ncontended that the cards were libellous.\nHis Lordship\u2014Because\" the portraits\nare unlike must they necessarily be II\nbellous?   (Laughter.)\nMr. Thompson thought thero could be\nno doubt about lt In this caso. The\ngondola picture was ridiculous as a\nwork of art.\nHis Lordship\u2014The work of art la sold\nat a halfpenny, I suppose?   (Laughter.)\nMr. Percy Wheeler submitted that\nthe only question was whether Miss Corelll had suffered any legal Injury. It\nmust be a very sensitive age lf lt was\nto hold a person up to ridicule and contempt to say that sho played with a\ndog on a lawn.  (Laughtor.)\nHIS \"Lordship said tho inference was\nthat tho picture was taken ln tho lady's\ngarden, and that she was a person who\nliked to bo advertised In this way.\nMr. Wheeler\u2014It might have been taken over the garden wall. (Laughter.)\nThe affidavit was read by Miss Corelll, who Btated that sho went to\nStratfiird-on-Avon for tho purpose of\nobtaining privacy, and that the cards\nwero calculated to expose her to unjust\ncontempt ln relation to her private life,\nand prejudice her In hor profession as\nan authoress.\nThe second defendant, Miss Edith\nWall, ln reply, retorted ln her affidavit\nthat so far from seeking privacy during\nher seven years' residence at Stratford,\nMiss Corelll had courted publicity ln\nevery way.\nMr. Wheeler followed this up with\na declaration that had the portraits of\nMiss Corelll been flattering nothing\nwould havo been heard of this action.\nFew ladles, he said, would admit that\na portrait did them Justice and he assumed that Miss Oorelll was no exception to the nils'.\nIf these cards were a libel, every exhibition of the Royal Academy would\nbe a collection of libels. (Laughter.)\nPhotogrnpliers, too, would bo liable\nto be sued, for It was common knowledge that most people when they had\ntheir photographs taken looked positively hideous. (Laughter.)\nMr. Eve: Speak for yourself, Mr.\nWheeler.
