CHAPTER XVIII. (Continued.)
A moment's silence followed, broken by
the sound of Tom's, hearty laugh, with
Aiincs' somewhat shrill treble minitleil
Lady Neril's thoughts were abruptly
ehniiKvd. Now she wanted to lie on shore
to interrupt that tete-a-tete. Hire bated
nothing; so much as to see Tmn ami
Agues toKcther; it waa a certainty that
her cousin was infusing some poisonous
drop into her husband'a mind.
"l.et us land," she said to Dallas; but
he had no deaire to leave his. charming
hosteaa Jimt as ther were discussing such
lutereatilig subjects.
"Oh, nut yet." he iuiplori-d; "don't go
In yet Do you really want to?" And
June, who always felt It diffleult to op
pose any one who asked anything urgent
ly of her, forced a smile, and said:
"I will stay here if you like. It is very
plenaant here."
Two or three minutes later ner uiinu
waa iininenecly relieved by hearing
Madge'B voice Join Tom's, and presently
she ntw that young lady bringing on
Tom's arm. while Mr. Caraluke and
Agnes walked at some distance behind.
The change of companionship had la-en
brought about in this way: When Dal
le and June betook thenimdve to the
boat, Madge and Mr. Carxluke had made
their way to the avenue the place par
eiwllence at the Hall for lover and love-
uiakliig, the place to which In former
dnvs Tom had always trnil to inveigii
June a being private and cut off from
the ret of the company.
Madire had talked away in her usual
bright fashion, and her companion had
listened to her w ith that senae of plcatted
amusement which he always felt at her
quips and prauka. His own disposition
was grave, though the reverse of morbid,
but he bad a strong sense of humor and
a keen sympathy with bright and happy
young people. His greatest drawback to
the enjoyment of their society was bis
extreme diffidence in himself, his fear
lent he should be a kill joy and spoil
their fun. On Madge, however, he pro
duced anything but this effect; his
gravity, leavened aa it was with an evi
dent appreciation of her salliisi and high
spirits, rather atiuiulatcd than soberej
her love of fun.
They had begun by laughing, and were
Inclining to a more sentimental niood un
der the influence of moonlight, aud the
charm of the evening, wheu Mr. Cars
lake, with the very beat intentions, made
a singularly unfortunate remark:
"What a very aweet woman that sinter
of your Is!"
It acted on Madge like a douche of
Iced water. The moment liefore ehe had
been full of gayety, slightly tempered by
a nuwt agreeable sentimentality, for she
was undeniably In love with her com
panion; now she w as froinsee, piqued, an
tioyed, ahe felt angry indeed with her
friend for not having more discernment.
Rhe stopped short; the color came to
her face, and she said, with extreme de
cision: "She ia not at all a sweet woman, and
I should not have thought you were the
sort of mun to be so easily taken in."
Mr. Carxlake was astonished; he was
rnther shocked, too, and he looked It".
"t)h, yes.", exclaimed Madge, "yon are"
horrified. 1 see, You think the mere fact
of a person being one's. sister ought to
ninkc one adore her; but. I assure you
the theory won't hold water. You ar
much more apt to dislike people who lie
long to you than any one else, because
you are obliged to see so much of them
and they have such immenee opportuni
ties of aggravating you."
The pair were standing face to face,
Madge talking herself aiigry, Mr. Cars
lake presavviug his scandalised expres
sion. '
'Tray, why do you think she is a sweet
woman?" asked the young lady, slightly
raising her voice and looking at him with
rather an aggressive flash In her eyes.
Mr. Carslnke'a face relaxed into a
smile.
"Well, really," he remarked,, "she
aeetned to Hie very sweet and kind anl
anxious to please every one. I caught
some of her remarks to our host 'during
dinner, and I eoufesa they ga-ve uie the
Idea that she waa a very -charitable, good
person;- and then I thought she, behaved
so nicely lu offering to remain wiih him
afterward aud to go and' see the child up
stairs." " ; '
"That ahowa, then," reWr'ted Madge,
"how little any oue uot Uddod .the-. scenes
Is able to Judge. She ouly stopped with
Tom and tulked about going up to Bee
little Tom to aggravute June,"
"Really T" with evident incredulity. "I
thought Lady Nevil seemed quite dis
posed for a tete-a-tete with Hroke, and
your sister good-naturedly offered to stay
and amuse Sir Thomns."
"Ohl" exclaimed Madge, growing still
angrier, "that ia Just the delightful way
A unes haa of giving people wmng im
pressions. Do you suppose,', with aome
vehemence, "that June carva two struwa
about Dallas.? She Is simply wrapped up
lu Tom and the child."
"I am sorry I htive offended you by.
saying what I thought would naturally
plcrt.se a sister," remarked Mr. Carslnkc,
gravely,
"You have offended me very much," re
torted Mndge, with unwonted petulance.
I "I thought you hud more discernment. All
our lives June and I have Buffered from
I Agnes' sweetness which had the delight
1 ful knack of milking us look in the wrong.
No doubt," a little quiver coming into her
j voice, "when you have wen a little more
of ber sweetness, you will come to the
conclusiou that I am not ut nil a nice
( ci noil.
That I ahull uot," he answered, aud
made as though lie would take Madge's
hand, but she eluded him.
CHAPTER XIX.
Madge, who meant to atone for her mis
conduct by iK'haviiig very prettily to him.
Was much disconcerted at not being given
the opportunity. She felt rather crest
fallen, but worked herself into a fit of
anger Irefore she finally went to sleep,
and resolved to punish him for being
vexed, although she bad done her utmost
to provoke him.
A picnic bad been arranged for the fol
lowing day; It waa to be held In the same
spot aa the oue recorded moch earlier
in this story the picnic which, as far a
June was concerned, bad been such a
dismal failure. Two girl from the neigh
borhood and two soldiers were to swell
the Hnll party. Tom could not possibly
leave his harvesting operations, and Ag
nes hail declined to Join them a circum
stance for which June would have been
devoutly thankful but for the uncom
fortable suspicion that ber cousin would
find ber way up to the Hall in quest of
Tom senior under pretense of a visit to
his son. However, she did not allow the
thought to trouble her seriously.
It was as lovely a day as that former
one, and the party was very cheery, to
nil npft-aranc. Hefore starting I-ady
Nevil had taken Madge aside and said to
her:
"My dear child, do not carry this any
further, t am sure It is not wise. Leave
Dallas alone and keep with Mr. Carslake.
He is not a man to be trilled with, I feel
convinced."
Rut Madge tossed her head willwully.
saying:
"I mean to punish him. What businesa
had he to go off last night without wish
ing nie good-night?"
"You would be very sorry if you lost
him."
"I don't mean to lose him," answered
Madge. "Now, Juny darling, you let me
manage my lover my own way; you know
I am rather successful in these little af
fairs," with an arch glance.
"One may sometimes lie a trifle too
clever," answered June. "I dare say your
system might answer with some men, but
I doubt its success in the present case.'
"We shall see," smiled Madge. "Be
sides, darling, I am not going to let any
one think that Dallas la making up to
you."
"You are very kind," returned June.
"Hut I fancy I can take care of myself."
"1 don't know, returned Madge. "La
dl-da Is very seductive. I can't help rath
er feeling the influence of his fascinations
myself."
Here their conversation waa Interrupt
ed .and five minutes later they were en
route.
Madge, having arranged her plan of
battle, proceeded to carry It out. Nothing
would please ber but that Dallas should
tw her squire, and she would not allow
him to leave her side or to speak to any
one else.
Though it was against Mr. Brake's
principlea ever to reiel the advance of a
pretty woman, he yet, being actuated by
gentlemanlike feelings, thought it not the
proper thing to interfere with a friend in
a genuine love affair, aud, though he did
not at all object to the fact of being made
a cat's-paw of by a lady who was willing
to divert aud be agreeable to him, he
thought it very hard lines on Carslake to
be pnnished for an apparently Imaginary
offense.
Madge, while she flirted ostentatiously
with the Ouardsman, gave an occasional
sidelong glance at the real object of her
affections, and was exhilarated by observ
ing that she was making him unhappy.
Luncheon over, Madge Insisted on a
stroll in the wood, which ouly meant that
she took Dallas a little away from the
rest of the party and sat with him under
s big tree while he smoked cigarette, in
which, for the sake of bravado and with
a wicked hope that Mr. Carslake might
see her, she joined him. She was not al
together very happy, ao she talked volubly
and feigned higher spirits than usual.
"Here you are!", cried Lady Neril's
voice gsyly, as she appeared eloee at hand
with Mr. Carslake. "Come with us for
a-stroll."
Her ladyship tried to maneuver to leave
Madge and her lover together, and Dal
1ns waa fain to second her, but Madge
was willful and linked her arm in June s,
and Mr. Carslake made no effort to over
come her perversity.
Before the plcuic party started for
home Madge had partially come to her
senses, and If Mr. Carslake had made the
smallest overture to her would have kind
ly consented to forgive and restore him to
favor. But he made no such overture,
and again the young lady'a ire was kin
dled. They had to- pass the rectory on
the way back, and Madge Insisted on
wlshiug them good-by and going home.
June, being exceedingly vexed with her,
did not press her very eagerly to retnrn
to the Hull. - -:
Mr. Carslake uttered not a word. Dal
las was the only one who made any ef
fort to shake her resolve.
The willful young lady passed a very
unpleasant evening and uight with her
own reflections. She hud overacted her
part had vexed aud hurt the kindest,
dearest, best man that ever lived; she
would like to throw herself at his feet
and beg his furgivenew; she began to
despise her own cleverness, and felt quite
spiteful against Dallaa for having lent
himself to lie her tool. Never mind! all
should be changed on the morrow. She
would make the handsomest of amende,
and wonld never, uever behave so badly
again.
The next morning her eyes unclosed on
a tenr-staiued landscape; the raiu waa
to have gone np to the Hall the instant i
after breakfaat, but the weather mads It
Impossible. At 12 oclock there wss a
slight cessation of the downpour and sh
made a valiant start. Down came the rain
again, hut nothing daunted, ahe pursued
her way and arrived dripping with wtt
at her destination. June met her In the
hall and beckoned her Into Tom's room.
Now," ssid her ladyship, with quite
mincctMtomed severity, "I hope you Br
happy."
m not at all happy answered
Madge, rather flippantly, "I feel like a
drowned rat."
Mr. Carslake," proceeded Jnne, too
much displeased to offer, with her usual
hospitality, to assist her cousin in her nn
comfortable plight "Mr. Carslake" left
twenty minutes ago. And it Is quite cer
tain that you will never see any more of
him."
Madge turned ghastly white. -
"tione!" ahe stammered.
"Yes, gone. He made some bald pre
text shout a letter he bad received, but
I have since ascertained that no letter
came for him this morning."
Madge flung herself into a chair and

CHAPTER XX.
The year was waning, Christmas not a
great way off.
Sir Thomas and Lady Nevil had apent
two month at their northern place in en
tertaining a snccesition of shooting par
ties. June had enjoyed this immensely;
she had, no doubt, a great love of pleas
ure and excitement.
Madge had been a gnest the greater
part of the time. She was not the same
willful, mirthful, mischievous creature
thst we have hitherto known her. No
need to cneck the exuberance of her spit
ita now. She laugha and talks; ontwar Jly
she does not give auy particular impres
sion of wearing the willow; but, as
matter of fact, she is desperately unhap
py-
Three weeks before Christmas, Sir
Thomas and I-ady Nevil, with their beir
and suite, left the north and returned to
the Hall. Tom was rejoiced to get back
to his beloved home. June was almost
equally pleased, and only one thonght
crept iu to dampen her enthusiasm. That
was the thought of Ague.
Several times during the homeward
Jonrney June had hoid she would be
si m red seeing Agues on their arrival; it
was with a feeling of unfeigned vexation
that, aa they drove up to the Hall door,
she saw her cousiu on the step to meet
them, srrayed in her sweetest smiles. Tom
greeted her with amazing heartiness, and,
to behold her reception of his son and
heir, oue might have imagined her
mother parted from her long-lost child.
Tom insisted on her remaining to dinner,
and she accepted this invitation without
the smallest demur or any reference to
June. Her ladyship'a home-coming '
completely spoiled; the shadow which had
disappeared entirely from between her
and her husband loomed ominously over
them once more; she felt angry and im
patient with him.
At dinner Tom was in the highest spir
its. Agnes evinced considerably more
than her wonted chastened gayety, and
it was only June who felt vexed, discon
tented, out of sorts. She could not be
pleasant to her cousin, and she was an
grily conscioua that Agnes infinitely pre
ferred ber displeasure to seeing her in her
usual mood.
At ten o'clock her ladyship hoped, with
some coldness,' that her cousin would ex
cuse her, and Agnes jumped up, exclaim-
ing. with an air of regret:
"Is it really ten o'clock How the even
ing baa flown! I did not think it could
be more than nine. Did yon, Tom?"
"No," answered Sir Thomas, heartily.
only too anxious to make np for her lady
ship a visible coldness. lime nie, you
know, Aggie, when it's spent pleasantly."
"It does indeed, responded Agm. "I
must go home. Of course, Tom, you are
tired after your journey, and I "unit not
be selfish enough to take yon out to
night."
But Tom swore he wss as fresh ss
daisy. Tind that he should like nothing
better than to stretch bis legs a bit '
Then Agnes deposited a bird-like kiss
on June's cheek, which made thaWair
lady grind her teeth with disgust and
repugnance, aud the pair set off gayly to
gether.

Not an Interpreter.
In a disput between the Indians and
the cannery men, according to the Seat
tle lt-lnteJllgenevr, a Mr. March waa
called as a witness, and the way In
which he gave his testimony proYed
puzzling to the lawyers.
"How loug have you been In this part
of the country, Mr. Marc.h?" .
"Forty, forty-five, . fifty, fifty-five
years."
"Fifty-five, years," said the lawyer,
and then, as If he were addressing
Christopher Columbus, he asked: '
"And what did you discover, Mr.
March?"
"A dark-visaged savage."
"Dark-visaged savage, eh? Yea, and
what did you say to him?"
"I said it was a fins day."
"Fine day 1 Yes, and what did he say
to you?" -
Mr. March rattled off a whole yarn
In Chinook, and keipt on. to the mirth of
the whole court room, until ixreniptotrl
ly cut off by the gavel of the Judge.
"I asked you what reply the savage
made to you, Mr. March. Please an
swer the uuestlou," said the Irate cross
examiner. "I was nnswerlng."
"Teill us what rhe savage said."
"That was what he said."
- "Then tell It to us In English."
"Not unless I am commissioned by
the court to act aa an Interpreter and
paid the customary fee."
The lawyer thought a moment. looked
at the Judge, who could not resist a
smile, and said, severely: "Mr. March,
you may stand down."
