Then ' hg, ealletT", to solne one within : , "Here, Weasel, tyll Crf and Doro thy Mr. Karnsford has come." . - r $ome things come to one by Instinct ; I 'knew that "Weasel" could be no other than one of the - small Jans, and my Instinct proved correct. i Presently there appeared the delicate, fragllc- looking lady I assisted at the opera, and at her tde the Japanese boy, bis sallow complexion and black hair and eyes looking more dismal than ever beside her Oower-uke ral mess. r -, . K This I my 'daughter, Lady Dinsniore." said Ur. Kendall: "and this is my grandson.' , ' i thought the old man's happy face clouded Somewhat as be acknowledged the last relation- ship: and 1 experienced a horrible sensation of the Inevitable creep over me as 1 found, here at the threshold of her own home, evidence of Doro thv's being the mother of these children. La Mvsteremust of necessity be Dorothy, for had I not heard them all address Lady Dinsniore aa Cora, and then, too, had she not lust the face of a Dorothy, not beautiful, but bright, and fair, and - -proud 7 The day waned and no Dorothy appeared. It . was pot until dinner-time that I saw her. She ' came into the drawing-room last of . all, wearing ' pome kind of a thin black gown that showed her white arms and neck, with a bunch of roses at her waist-band. Mr. Kendall sjmnljrsald: "You and Dorothy are old companions: no ,-. need to Introduce you. What makes you so late, Dolly r' r - "Angel would.not go to sleep," sheanswered, in ;t a low tone. "I had to sing to her until she did." The same look of annoyance passed over his face that I had 'noticed when lie spoke of , WeaseLJle - said a little sharply: r . .- v "You take too much care of those children, DmHiVr Icave them more to the nurses "I cannot, nana.

A most aereeable dinner followed, and' one I fhtntM ravr-Ttter enjoyed had-tTTOrt)ceRTiauh h! bv.the all-nervadinir presence of the twoabsent Japs, and by the half-sad expression on Dorothy's face, that had settled there afterlier mention of him.

" anlwell, hal truly kukHhIi ring and could not be Orrentallzedrhhortly, lioweverrhat faint consolation was destroy ed by-my servant, who, a worse gossip than any femme tie chambre, poured -out to me the facts -that he had taken the name of Hand well iroto an old aunt whose property she - Inherited, the name being part of the legacy. - - ,Thirl inv lilr " nnntinniwl Iiitmn 'al linlp it ij r j , i M .v.......'. . . . m . . . . , . w . own name was a monstrous queer-sounding one. She's always called Mistress Dorothy through the house, and has only been home a short time only since my lady's marriage and -when she did come she brought them fearful blacks with her.. j(;s -shocking to hear them a-calling her mamma, and it don't seem natural as they should be hers." - ' Alas I my fears and surmises were rapidly be coming certainties. I felt that, ere long, I must look the matter squarely In the face, and make up my mind that' in loving Dorothy,! must love the Japs as well. - In choosing her for my wife, I must jecet her past, and her little one with it. ' T"A' week, t wo weekw, were gie,J aliit" stlll'T'Trff-7gen-l at the Priory. My pafion for Dorothy had become the prominent part of my being. Day by day, hour by hour, it became more obvious to me h unhand or-hadlv-woundel. unsuccessful suitor. . Yet during these two weeks not one word hadf ever come to my ears regarding her past life,' Hhe was still young too young for her to have been anything more than a slip of . a. girl when the heavy cares of life apparently became hers. She '. spoke seldom of herself, never of her life In the States. Yet ahe waaopen-heart'el as the day, and talked well and earnestly on all subjects; was .4 most affectionate to 'Mr. Kendall, and devoted to the little ones. The latter, by a lucky accident, werercoTinntHjto the"Tiursenp with some hltdlsh Mlroentr 8h w8-never addressed save a" Dolly or Mistress Dorothy. 1 adopted, naturally, the latter; there was a fitness In It that pleased me ; was she-not my mistress, and I tier humblest serv itor? . -...'r'- . ;WTell,-to cut It short," we were" walking home one evening from a lawn party tennis had not comejnto fashion In those days given at one of the neighboring houses; I.ad.v Dinsmore, her hus band and Mr. Kendall In frout; Dolly and I loitering behind them. It was a lovely moonlight -night ; the little river rippled like a silver thread at our feet; the trees cast deep shadows before us : the air was sweet with the iwrfume of a thousand flowers. The Influence of tne night was not to be resisted. Another moment. and she knew It all : knew how I loved her. how I had fought off; that love, and how It would not be conquered, but grew stronger and stronger until It held me captive and made me sue for her love In self-defense. No Lovelace could have pleaded more warmly, and no Clarissa listened more coyly. The beauti ful color stole over her face, her slender hands held each other in sweet confusion, and the prouL handsome eyes were lowered Jbeneath the ardor of 'mine. At last she spoke, The rhlldrenr' ... ..r '"Ah, Dolly. Dolly I" I answered f" do yon sup pose I would separate them from you? I must love them for y6ur sweet sake I confesa," I added, Impatiently. "I would rather, they were not yours, and not Japanese. Of course, I have - no doubt your husband w no end of a good fellow, but that's neither heretior there; they are yours, and that's enough.

"Of course, there was no end of a scene, and my poor mother, long a -sufferer of heart trouble, died in consequence of the shock, Mr. Kendall was thus rendered totally unfit for traveling, even If my step-sister's health would have permitted his leaving her.
