He took the only course thnt was open to lilin; he took IiIh hut. Sydney turned uwny to lenve the room. IJnley opened the door for lier. "Don't he discouraged," he whispered ns she pass ed him; "jou hIiiiII henr from me." Hav ing Hold thin, he nutde his parting how to the Hchool iiiImUi'hx. Leaving the house, Llnley slipped it hrlhe Into the servant's huiid. "I inn going to write to MIhh Wos terlleld," he wild, "will you nee that she gett my letter?" "Thnt I will!" At the first Htutloner'H Hhnp thnt he pnns ed, he stopped the ciirrliigc mid wrote IiIh letter. "I shall he Kind Indeed If I enn offer you ii huppler life tluili the life you lire lending now.

In those niiiI words, Sydney Wcstcrllold niiiioiineed that she had completed her I'diicntlou. ClIAl'TKIt VII. Not far from tlie source, of the famoux river, whleh rises In the immiitnliis be tweeu Loch Katrine mid Loch Lomond, iiml divides tin Highlands mid the Low ImiiiIs of tSi'otlaud, travelers arrive at the venerahle gray walls of Mount Morven; ami, after consulting their guide hooks, nxk permission to xee the house. If these strangers on their travels had heen permitted to ascend to the llrst Iloor, mid had heen Invited to xay Kod night to Mrs. Llnley's pretty little daiiKhter, they would have xeeu the stone walls of Kitty's bid I'hamher snugly covered with velvet hangings, they would have trod on a doubly laid carpet; they would have looked at n bright little hed, of the Inst new pattern, worthy of a child's deeply delicious sleep; mid they would only have discovered that the room was three hun dred years old when they had drawn aside the window curtains mid had revealed the iidaiiiantlue Nolldlty of the outer walls. Or, If they had found their way ue.t Into Mrs. Llnley's sitting room, here again a transformation scene would have reveal ed more modern luxury, presented In the perfection which Implies restraint within the limits of good taste. Hut on this occa Mini, Instead of seeing the head of a lovely little child on the pillow, side hy side with the head of her doll, they would have en countered mi elderly lady of considerable sire, fast asleep, and snoring In a vast nriuchalr, with a hook on her lap. The lady, composed under the soporific Inlliteiico of lltcratuie, was a person of Im portance In the house holding rank as Mrs. I.luley' mother; mid being other wise noticeable for IiiivIiik married two husbands mid survived them both. The first of these Kciitlemeu the lCltit Honorable .losepli Oruiond had been a member of Parliament. Mrs. I.luley was Ids one surviving child. He died at mi advanced ugo, lenliiK his widow well pro vided for. After hesitating for some lit tle time, Mrs, Oruiond accepted the pro posal of the ugliest mid dullest man niniing the ranks of her admirers. Why she became (lie wife of Mr. Presty, a inerchmil enriched b) the sale of vinegar, she was never able to explain. ltctutiilug to the sitting room after bid ding Kitty good night, firs, I.luley discov ered (lie old liuly asleep, mid saw that the hook on her mother's hip was sliding off. llefoie she could check the downward movement, the book fell on the Iloor, mid Mis. Plenty woke. "Oh, inauima, I am so sorry, 1 was Just too late to catch It." "It doesn't matter, my dear. I dare say I should go to bleep again If I went on villi my noel." Mrs. Prcsty consulted her watch. "Your husband Is no longer In Loudon," (.lie auiiouiiccd; "he lias begun his journey home. I!w me a railway guide, and I'll tell )ou when he will be here to-morrow." Hut before this could be done a servant entered with a telegram for Mrs. I.luley. Her mother, however, took It and lend It. Her fnce assumed an expression of utern distrust. She shook her head. "Head It yourself," she (hen suld, "and lenieniber what I tohl jou, when )ou triifteil )our husband to liud u governess for in) grandchild. 1 said; You don't know men as 1 do. I hope ou may not live to icpeiit It." ' Mrs. I.luloy was too fond of her hus band to let this pass, "Why shouldn't 1 ttust him?" t-lie asked. "He was going to London on business and it was an excel lent opportuuil)." "Head )our telegram," Mrs. Prcsty re peated, with dignity, "and Judge forjour elf." Mrs, I.luley read; "I have engaged u goeruess. She will travel In the same train with me. I think I ought to prepare )ou to iceclve a per Hit) whom you may be surprised to cc. She I very young mid very inexperienced; unite unlike the ordinary run of gov eruesses. When you hear how cruelly the poor girl has been Hed, I am mre )ou will s)inpathlte with her as 1 do." Mrs, I.luley laid down the message with n mil lie. "Poor, dear IlerbertT she said tender Igr, "After we have been vlsut years lutir- corapr- rled, In he really nfrnld thnt I shall ho Jenloux? Mammal Why are you looking so serloux?" Mi'H. Prcsty took the telegram from her daughter and read extracts from It with Indignant emphasis of voice and tnnuner. "Travels In the Hiuiie tialii with him. Very young, and very Inexperienced. Ami he sympathizes with her. Hal I know the men, Catherine I know the men I" CIIAPTKK VIII. Mr. Herbert Llnley arrived nt his own houxe in the forenoon of the next day. Mrs. Llnley running out to the hend of the stairs to meet her huslmnd, snw him approaching her without a traveling companion. "Where Is j,ho governess?" xhe linked when the first salutes allowed her mi opportunity to speak. "On her way to bed, poor soul, under the care of the housekeeper," Llnley nn Hwered. "Anything Infectious, my dear Her bert?" Mrs. Prcsty Inquired, nppcarltiB nt the breakfast room door. I.luley addrexxed his reply to his wife: "Nothing more serious, Catherine, than want of strength. She wns In such a state of fatigue, after our long night journey, that I had to lift her out of the carriage." Mrs. Prcsty listened with nn appearance of the deepest Interest. "Quite a novelty In the way of n governess," she suld. I.luley drew a deep breath of relief when he was left alone with his wife. "What makes your mother so particularly disagreeable this morning?" he Inquired. "She doesn't approve, denr, of my leov lug It to you to choose n governess for Kitty." I.luley mentioned the odvortlxcmcnt, mid described Ills Interview with the school mistress. Having next acknowl edged that he hnd received n visit from Miss Westerlleld herself, he repented nil thnt she hud been able to tell him of her father's wasted life mid inclnneholy end. Keully Interested by tills time, Mrs. I.lu ley wns enger for more Inforiniition. Her husband hesllntcd. "I would rather you heard the rest of It from Miss Wester lleld," he said "In my nbsence." "Why, In your nbsence?" "Hecnuse she enn xpenk to you more freely, when I mn not present. Henr her tell her own story, mid then let me know whether you think I hnve miidc n mis take. 1 submit to your decision before hand, whichever way It may Incline." Mrs. I.luley re warded him with a kiss. If a married stranger had seen them, nt that moment, he would have been remind ed of forgotten days the days of his honeymoon. "And now," I.luley resumed, "suppose we talk u little about ourselves. I haven't seen my brother yet. Where Is Itundnl?" "Staying nt the fnrni to look nfter your Interests. We expect lilin to come back to-day. Ah! Herbert, what do we not all owe to that dear good brother of yours! There Is reully no end to his kindness. The last of our poor Highland families, who hnve emigrated to America, have hud their expenses privately paid by Itandal. The wife has written to me, mid has let out the secret. There Is mi American newspaper among the letters thnt are waiting your brother's return, scut to him us u little mark of attention by these good, grateful people." Having alluded to the neighbors who had left Scotland, Mrs. I.luley was reminded of other neighbors who had remained. She ws still relating events of local Interest, when the clock In terrupted her hy striking the hour of the nursery dinner. What had become of Kitty? Mrs. I.luley roue mid rang the bell to make Inquiries, On the point of answering, the servant looked t mi ml nt the ocn door behind him. He drew aside, mid revealed Kitty, In the corridor, hand In hand with Syd ney Westerlleld who timidly hesitated nt entering the room. "Here she Is, iiiainma," cried the child. "I think she's afraid of you; help me to pull her In." Mrs. I.luley advanced to receive the new member of her household, with the Irre sistible grace and kludiies swiilch charm i'd every stranger who approached her. "Oil, it's all right," said Kitty. "Syd likes me, mid I like Syd. What do you think? She lived lu London with a cruel woman who never gave her enough to cat. See what u good girl I am! I'm be ginning to feed her nlrendy." Kitty pull ed ii box of sweetmeats out of her pocket mid handed it to the governess with u tup on the lid, suggestive of an old gentleman ottering u pinch of snuff to a friend. "My dear child, you mustn't speak to Miss Westerlleld In that wny! Pray ex cuse her," said Mrs. Llnley, turning to Sjiluey, with n smile; "I am nfrnld she has been disturbing you In )our room." S.wluey's silent answer touched the mother's heart; she kissed her little friend. "I hope you will let her call mo Syd," she said gently; "It reminds me of u happier time." Her voice faltered; she could say no more. Kitty explained, with the air of a grown person encouraging u child: "I know nil about, it, mamiiin. She means when her pupa was alive. She lost her papa when she wns a little girl like me, I didn't disturb her. I only said: '.My name's Kitty; may I get up on the bed?" And she wns quite willing; and we talked. And 1 helped her to dress," Mrs. Llnley KM Sydney to the sofn, ami stopped the How of her daughter's narra tive. The look, the voice, the maimer of the governess had already made their simple appeal to her generous nature. When her husband took Kitty's hand to lead her with him out of the room, she whispered its he passed: "You have done quite right: I luiveii't a doubt about It." The two ladles were alone, Widely ns the lot in life of one differed from the lot In life of the other, they presented a contrast In personal nppenrnuee, which wns more remarkable still, InMhe prime of life, lull and fair the beauty of her delicate complexion and her brilliant blue c)cs, rivaled by the churm of a figure which hnd nrrlved nt Its mature perfec tion of development Mrs. Llnley sat side by side with n frail little dark-eyed crea ture, thin and pule, whoe wasted face Intro patient witness to the three crudest privations under which youth can suffer: wuut of fresh air, wuut of nourishment and want of kindness. The gentle mis tress of the house wondered sadly, If this lost child of misfortune was capable of seeing the brighter prospect before her that promised enjoyment of a happier life to come. Sydney told nil the details of the sad history of her young life. When she hnd finished she looked round, nnd stnrted to her feet. "Oh, here's a lady! Shall I go nwny?" The cttrtnlns hnnglng over the entrance to the library were opened for the second time. With composure and dignity, the Indy who hnd startled Sydney entered the room. "Hnve you been rending In the library ?" Mrs. Llnley asked. And Mrs. Prcsty an swered: "No. Catherine; I hnve been listening. Introduce mo to Miss Westerlleld," Mrs. Prcsty proceeded coolly. Mrs. Llnley showed some hesltnilon. Wlut would the governess thing of her mother? Perfectly careless of what the governess might think, Mrs. Prcsty cross ed the room nnd Introduced herself. "Miss Westerlleld, I ntn Mrs. Llnley's mother. And I am, In one respect, n re mnrknble person. When I form nn opin ion, nnd find It's the opinion of n fool, I nm not In the least nsham6d to change my mind. I have chnnged my mind about you. Shako hands." Sydney respectfully obeyed. "I hnd the worst possible opinion of you," Mrs. Presty resumed, "before I hnd the pleasure of listening on the other side of the curtain. If I hnd been mOmmed to listen behind those curtnlns, there Is no Injury thnt my stupid prejudices might not have Inflicted on this unfortunate girl. As It is, I hnve henrd Iter story, nnd 1 do her Justice. Count on me, Sydney, ns your friend." "Now we nre nlone, Catherine," she ndd ed, when the door hnd cl6scd on the gov erness, "I hnve a word of ndvlce for your prlvnte ear. Wo have much to nntlclpntc from Miss Westerficld thnt is plensnnt nnd encouraging. Hut I don't concenl It from myself or from yon, we huve nlso something to fear." "To fenr?" Mrs. I.luley repented. "I don't understand you." "First obstacle In the wny of her moral development, her father tried, found guilty, and dying lu prison. Second ob stacle, her mother nn unnnturnl wretch, who neglected nnd deserted her own flesh and blood. Third obstacle, her mother's sister being her mother over again In nn aggravated form. People who only look nt the stirfnee of things might nsk what we gain by Investigating Miss Wester field's past life. We gnln this: We know what to expect of Miss Westerlleld In the future." "Oh, mnmnin, I never knew you so un just before. You enn't hnve henrd all that Miss Westerlleld snld to me. You don't know her, ns I know her. So pa tient, so forgiving, so grateful to Her bert." "So grateful to Herbert." Mrs. Presty looked at her daughter in silent surprise. There could be no doubt nbdut it; Mrs. Llnley fulled entirely to see nny possibil ities of future danger In the grateful feel ing of her sensitive governess townrd her handsome husband. At this exhibition of simplicity, the old lady's last reserves of endurance gave wny; she rose to go. "You hnve nn excellent henrt, Catherine," she remarked; "but as for your hend " "Well, nnd what of myhcatll" "It's always beautifully' dressed, my denr, by your muld." With that parting shot, Mrs. Presty took her departure by way of the library. Almost nt the snme moment, the door of the brenkfnst room wns opened. A young man ndvnnccd nnd shook hands cordially with Mrs. Llnley. CIIAPTKIt IX. Self-revealed by the family likeness ns Herbert's brother, Itaudnl I.luley wns nevertheless greatly Herbert's Inferior In personal nppenrnuee. His features were lu no wny remarkable for manly beauty. In stature, he hnrdly reached the middle height; mid, young ns he wns, either bud habit or physical weakness had bo affect ed the tipper part of his figure thnt lie stooped. "Have you seen n new face ninong tix since you returned?" were his slstcr-lu-law's first words. Itandal answered that he had seen Miss Vt esterllcld. The In evitable question fallowed. What did he. think of her? "I'll tell you in a week or two more," he replied. "No! tell mo nt once." "I don't like trusting my first Impres sions; I hnve a bad habit of jumping to conclusions," "Jump to n conclusion now, to please me." Itaudnl smiled and gnve wny. "Your governess," ho replied, "looks out of health, ami strikes me ns being insignifi cant mid ugly. Let us sec whnt our fine ulr and our easy life will do for her. He went into the library and returned with his letters. "This will nituise Kitty," he snld, bunding to his slster-lu-lnw n New York newspaper, to which she" hnd already referred in speaking to her hus band. Mrs, Llnley examined the engravings mid turned buck again to look once moro nt mi Illustration which had Interested her. A paragraph on the same page caught her attention. She hnd hnrdly glanced nt the first words before a cry of alarm escaped her. "Dreadful news for Miss Westerlleld!" she exclaimed. "Head It. Itandal." He read these words; "The week's list of Insolvent traders Includes nn Englishman mimed James llellbrldge, formerly connected with a dis reputable saloon In this city. llellbrldge is under suspicion of having caused the death of his wife, In n fit of delirium tre mens. The unfortunate woman had been married, for the first time, to one of the English aristocracy the Honorable Rod erick Westerlleld whoe trial for casting nwny n ship under his command excited considerable Interest lu London some yearii since. The melancholy circum stances of the ease nre complicated by the dlsnppcnrniuv, on the day of the mur der, of the woman's ) oung son by her first husbaud. The poor boy is supposed to have run nwny in terror from his misera ble home, nud the police nre endeavoring to discover 60ine trace of him, It Is re ported thnt another child of the first mur rlnge is living lu England. Hut nothing is known about her." "Serious news for Miss Westerfield, ns you say," Itandal resumed. "And, as I think, serious nes for us. Hero Is a mere girl n poor, friendless creature absolutely dependent on our protection," It wus thought uecessary to break the news to Miss Westerlleld, nnd this Miss Llnley did herself ns gently as possible. Itandal awaited his sister-in-law's return from the governess' room. After a much shorter absence than Kuu- dal anticipated, Mrs. Llnley returned "Has It been very distressing?" he asked, seeing the traces of tears In her eyes. "There arc noble qualities," she an swered, "In thnf poor Ill-used gorl. All she nsked wns to be left In her room for the rest of the dny. I feel sure of her resolution to control herself; nnd yet I should like to encourage her If I enn. Her chief sorrow must be not for the mother who lius so shamefully neglected her but for the. poor little brother, a castaway, lost In n strange land. Can we do noth ing to relieve her anxiety?" "I can write," Itandal sald,"to n man whom I know in Now York, a lawyer in large practice." "The very person wo wnnt! Write prny write by to-dny's post!" The letter wns dispatched. It wau de cidedand wisely decided, ns the result showed to sny nothing to Sydney until the answer wns received. Itnndnl's cor respondent wrote bnck with ns little delay as possible. He had made every Inquiry, without success. Not a trace of the boy hnd been found. The one event thnt had happened, since the nppearnnce of the paragraph lu n New York newspaper, was the confinement of James Uellbrldgc In nn asylum ns n madman under restraint, without hope of recovery. (To be continued.) Effect or Crlmo on Trntlo. "The bromo-acltzer trade, Is busted temporarily," remarked n down-town druggist. "I suppose us many people get up with headache, in tho morning as ever, but they don't drown their sorrows in bromo-seltzcr, since the Cornish pols oning case came out. 'Guess I'll get n bottle of seltzer,' remarked a man lu here yesterday. " 'IJromo-seltzcr?' queried n friend, as If the very idea gave him n cramp. " 'Kr well, no, I guess I won't,' re marked tho llrst man, as If hu recollect ed something. And ho didn't buy It. Curious how peoplo are Influenced by Imagination. I'll bet there Isn't an anonymous box of candy sent once 11 tiny lu Chicago now. The Bodkin casu knocked Unit. Peoplo who send candy sign their names to it.

The prevalent Idea has been for somo time that tho typical Kugllsh woman Is, above nil tiling, domestic, aiftl It has been mentioned that the pushing, bust ling, flue du sleclo American girl might profitably study tho shrinking, cringing femininity of her Kugllsh cousins. Tho American woman lias also proudly claimed that shu was the pioneer lu women's occupations, and that tboro nro moro trades and professions open to women In America than anywhere else on the globe. A book just pub lished In England, upon perusal, will soon tako this conceit out of her. Among the numerous occupations may be noted the following: Feminine archi tects, fanners, plumpers, bankers, chemists, contractors nud gardeners. Women drivers, cab drivers, pilots ami letter carriers figure conspicuously. Tho llprpnf Itrlun Horn.
