In the morning, when bar maid brought her tea and lettera, abe eagerly opened the one from her lord. Hariug fiuiahed it. ahe laid it dowu. and a cold chill eauie over her. She atared blankly into apare for a minute or two, then took it up aud re-read: "Iiarling Wifej.I got down here all right, and found the hoy all right except a little bit fluahed, and" (here two lettera eaaily deciphertl to be "Ag" were aerati-hed out "we thought be might hare nut her tooth coining, but, anyhow. we thought it better to wait a day and ce.

She nna nothing to loin; he could dia- pciiae ierfiH-tly with her aoeiety, aa long he had the haby, mid thi country, and hia old ahmiting cont, and with a tierce apaxni Agnea. June glanced at the clock; the hands w ere juxt on the hour of niue-iniHisilile to cnlcli the ten train; hut there wax an ile went out oB the lawn, where Agnea waa playing with Tom junior and exhib iting increased fervor and devotion to ward him. "I'oor. darling June," aaya Agnea, xweetly. "How unlucky! But what made her come? AVaa it becanae ahe waa ao anxJou about thia treasure? Oh, Tom, I begged you to be careful not to frighten her." Tom haa taken hia heir from her arms and ia proceeding toward the houae. JJIU. haa recovered beraelf. She baa lunched, baa bad ber aay out and now fei-ia beraelf quite capable of behaving with the dignity and aweetneaa on wbieb ahe baa reaolved in the train. To the immeiiae relief of Bir Tbouiaa, who haa tx-en longing but not daring to beg an audience for hia couxin, abe aaka in quite an amiable tone if Ague ia atill there, aud volunteera to go dow n and aee her. Sir Thoma and Ijidy Xevil have dined, and are aitting at the open window in her ladyxhip'a boudoir. June ia on hia knee, with one arm round hia neck, and a little w hite band priaooer lu hia. "Kiwi me, darling," ahe aaya, and he, nothing loath, obeya. "I waa naughty to-day," ahe proceeda, with a charniitig. contrite little air, "and now I am aorry." Kir Thomaa givea a aqueexe to her alim waist to intimate that whatever abe baa done ia condoned, aud that no more need be aaid abont it. "Io yon think I have a bad temper?" eoaxingiy. ".No. my pet, certainly not. But." .liffl deutly. fancying, good, houeat will, that he ia apenking a werd in aeaaon. when he ia doing exactly the reverse, "I think you were a little hard on poor Aggie. .

"Kicopt tbe boy, of eourae." aaya June, amiliiig. "Let ua go and look at him ahall we; And aa. a minute later.

If there were only no auch place Indou! he waa holding ber reaponsible for thia awful calamity. When ahe waa alone for a moment with the doctor ahe aoked him in Imploring tonea whether London waa the eatixe of the olilld'a illneaa, and he anawered dis tinctly In the negative. It might have happened anywhere. Hut June did not dure even to aay thia to Tom; ahe knew It would tie waxte of time and energy to attempt to convince turn, ao tirmly wna hia niind fixed on thia one idea. Oh, pleaae Owl, they ahoiild get the hoy over thia, anil never, never again ahoiild he net foot in the accuraed city! i oting Tom got over the crisia, and, with hia father and mother, returned to the Hall on tbe fifth day after hia at tack. Though moat of Hie aerranta were left behind in Karon Square it waa alinoat an understood thing that neither Sir Thomaa nor her ladyahip would go back there. Hir 'Jliomaa waa perfectly certain ; that he would not, and her loilyahio did I not feet a though, after the iniaery of inoae lew naya, ahe ahoiild ever care to aee London again. It waa only by Mra. Klleamere'a perauaxion that they decided not to give up the houae and move the whole eatabliahmeut back at onee t the Hall. In a week'a time Tom junior wna re stored to hia usual robnat health, and Tom senior to happiness and hia wonted level spirits. He felt like a prisoner let loose; it waa. a linoat worth while to have suf fered the discomfort to enjoy tais blt-saed freedom, June, her mind being reassured about her child, began to feel somewhat dull, and to think with a certain regret of the pleasant thing she bad left la-hind; and a for Madge, her eye were red with crying, and ahe wore a woeuego.u look quite Unusual to.hcr lirlfht race. . "1 know I am very silly and very .self ish," he said to June one dily, "but it haa been such an awful disappointment to me.' And with this she burat into tears, Tom came in at the same moment. "Why, Mndgy!" he cried, with sincere concern, "what's the matter, my dear?" "Poor child," answered June, "she is ao disappointed about her visit to London." The aame evening at dinner Sir Thomas observed to her Indyahip: "I've been thinking it over, .Tuny, and It scenis rather a shame to disappoint S ' other at eleven, which stopped at a ataliou u' six miles from the Hull.

During her journey lu the traiu she made a great ef fort to conquer the auger that waa seeth ing and bubbling up ill her heartanger partly excited by Tom, but chietly by Agnea. Wheu they reached the house Ijidy Nevll slgued to the driver to let her out In-fore be rang the bell. The hall door waa ajar and ahe ran first into the morning-room. A pleasing sight greeted ber through the window. Tom waa sitting on a garden-chair, with the boy in his arms. Ague waa kneeling at their feet, dangling something lu front of the baby's eyes. It waa too much for poor June. She had just time to aay to the footman, who came rushing In great surprise through the ball, "Tell Sir Thoma I have goue to oiy room, and ahe flew upstairs, locked the door to keep her uinld or any in truder but Tom out, and burst Into a passion of tears. She was thoroughly up aet; ahe felt that ahe had made a fool of heraelf, nud that ahe would appear In the Tory worst possible light before the eyes of the man sue loved. She heard Tom flying up tbe stairs, and had just time to unlock the door when he hurst In with au astoulshed hut ben in ing face. Then that happens to her which fre quently happens to high-spirited, impul sive people; ahe does the very thing agulnst which ahe has cautioned herself which she haa reaolved most positively that she will not do. She reproaches Tom for leaving her, for his letter, for his In difference In having remained awny from her, for his untruthfulness in pretending the child was ailing, and, last and crown ing folly, for which ahe is furious with herself even while she Is committing It, he twits him with preferring the society of Ague to her own. Tom stands overwhelmed mil silent, not because he ia convinced of guilt, but be cause he ia allocked at this outburst from his wife. I Tom went gloomily out and doTuatnira, I not forgetting tirat to order luncJieoii to be aent up Immediately. Poor Utile girl! no I doubt she wax overdone; hut Oat did not I quite account for and exctiai the bitter aud unjust things she had ai)d to hlui. rilAITEK XVI. The Ncvil family have lieen established in l.onilun for the space of a fortnight torn junior is in the most robust health and spirits, aud seems vastly amused and interested with all he scee. He is nearly nine mourns old. aud Is not only a beanti fill and good-tempered infant, but has the most Intelligent face In the world. He is. to Tom's intense deligbt, the living image or nis motner: nay, Tom Is almost allrouted If anyone pretends for civility': sake that hia heir resembles himself. Dallas, who is a frequent guest in Katon Square, mischievously asks June if she thinks loin is making love to the nurse, irom wnom tie seems inseparable, and declares to Tom himself that no doubt he is taken for a Life-guardsman in plain clothes. Diillns and June are the best of triends; they have both completely for- ."'n .. .-.i!wie iiiot ji-arii ago. I' or Dallas is alworbed in his hopeless passion for Lady Jane Wyldrooe, daughter of the Earl of Sweethrier; hopeles. not aa far aa the young lady herself is concerned but only aa regards her parents. It wanted two days to the 15th of June when Madge was to join her cousins in Loudon. lJidy evil came in from her drive in radiant spirits; she had spout a delightful day, and waa looking forward to oue of the balls of the season, to be given that uignt. tier maid met her in the ball with a seared face. "Oh, my lady, dim t be alarmed," she said, while her look and manner were enough to terrify nervous and imagina tive person to death, "but Master Tom has been taken 111. Sir Thomaa and the doctor are with him now." Junes heart etood still, her knees knocked together. In one instant the thought traversed her brain that her own selfishness was the cause of thia awful calamity, that the child would die, that she would never forgive herself, that Tom would never forgive her. Then, without waiting for another word, she flew stnlrs to the nursery. Tom stood by the bedside with an agon led face. The doctor was bending over the child, wno waa waxen pale and with closed eye. A sort of paralysis crept over June. Tom did not move forward to greet her; hia eyea, having met hers aa she cutere.1, returned to their agonised watch. She went mechanically toward him. "What Is it?" she whispered. "I knew It from the first,' he muttered. "I always said ao. 1 knew Imdon would be the death of him." A sense of guilt and despair stole over June. Ten minutes ago there had scarce ly tieen happier womau living than she, and now terror and misery ingulfed her, every pleasant thing lu life seemed Irre trievably gone from her forever. All night she and Tom watched by the child's cot. Not satisfied with one opin ion, Tom aent for the first physician lu London. He, too, looked grave, but spoke reassuringly and hoped the boy might take a favorable turn.
