for a minute or two, then took it up aud

When ahe had rend that affectionate if
not well-cxpreaaed eiitle. all plcuaure and
hniitiiieaa tiwk (light from June'x heart.
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

June aita Ixilt upright In a moment,

in a tone of exaapcration. Then, cheek
ing heraelf. and aiukiug back on hia
ahoulder, "I.et ua forget that ahe or any

"Kxrept the boy," amenda Tom.
"Kicopt tbe boy, of eourae." aaya June,

ment preventa hia aecuig tlml lovely pie
lure quite clearly.
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

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

I rilAI'TKit XV.
June haa a nne spirit, and it wna now
roused to the uttermost. 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

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

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.
Once during that long and miserable
night June went and put her arms ruuud
her hushaud'a neck and leaned on bis
breast with stilled sobs, aud he clasied
ber kindly, but she felt instinctively that

Madge, poor little girt Why should not
you go back to town with her for a fort
night or three weeks'; The servants and
horses are there doing nothing, and we
shall have to pay for the house all the

it so much yourself, it seems a pity you
should be done out of it.
"I do red fi-el as if I should care for it
now," June answered.
Tom, however, broached tbe subject to
Madge; implored and entreated so earn
estly l hat her ladyship yielded. It is un
derstood that Tom will not accompany
them, or even go up to l.onili n for a sin
gle day, and this iu June's eyes deprives
the prospect of aiiy pleasure.
Oin-c there, however, Madge is so wild
ly pleased and happy that her spirits are

stripped from her gingerbread, still man

to dine with them and take them to see

Just before dinner a note came by

"Will yon excuse me from dining?"
said. "I will join you at the play. I am
so very sorry, and hoje I am not putting

The niece had begun nmc time before
