ROWLANDS CHAPTER XVIII.—(Continued.) Aixiiey fortututely knew nothing of the dislike and anger tbe was esasing. By and by ah* found tbe atm«>eplMre v«ry rloee, tor an awning had been raised oa d»«k that formed an impromptu ball room ; and bidding the few around brr a hasty "goodnight," she slipped away, heedleas that Bev erley lUxhfort was watching her and was following close be hind her. Once outside the awning Audrey draw a deep breath. A few couples wars stroll Ing to and fro, but she passed them and went swiftly aft. Had she been leas dazed and weary abe might have wondered at tbe sound of a slight cry quite close, but ehe was think ing of Jack, and all alee was lost upon her. "1 will just breathe some air and then go below," she said to herself. “It was stifling In there!" Hhe stood looking over the moonlit waters for a moment, and then turned to go. Aa she did so, she was suddenly blind'il, a sense of horrible fear and belp- leaanes came over her. a strong, sickly smell penetrated to her brain. Rhe tried to «-mini, to struggle—In vein. Her limbo loot their etrangth, her brain reeled - »he knew no more. There wu great commotion on board tbe Mona that night. By some mis chance L-ady John Glendurwood had lost her footing, and had fallen orerboard into the stilt deep waters below, and. by a miracle of mercy, Beverley Roch- fort had been near at hand, bad plunged Into the water, and. at risk of hie own life, had encreeded in saving here. Thia waa tbe neirs that waa telegraph ed to John Glsodarwood up In Scotland, and which caused hie cheek« to turn ashen gray, and then made him rush wildly to the etatioo. en route for the sooth, while Audrey lay still and white on her luxurious cabin bed. carefully watched by Mrs. Hungerford and Mdy Dalaewater, whose usually Impassive countenance was pal« and perturbed. “The shock to the nerves has been very great.'" said the doctor, who wi. sum moned hastily: "but for Mr. Rochfort'a bravery, my dear Taidy Dalrawater, her ladyship would not be alive now." In a dim. far-off way Audrey heard all thia and pondered over It. She tried to nnaact her brain to a«x-ount for th« ac cident. but In rain. Even when Jack came, and abe felt hie arms holding her close to hie beating heart, her memory did not clear: she could tell him nothing, for she knew nothing herself; It only trou bled her to think about It. So Jack took the doctor's ad rice and refused to allow any more quest ions. “She is saved, thank heaven, and that Is all I care!’’ he said, rather brokenly, to his sister, and then, when he found himself face to face with Rorbfort. he went straight up to him. "Roohfort," he said, quietly, "hitherto I have Judged you harshly ; henceforth I will try and amend for that Judgment. I owe my wife's life to you. Here Is my hand. I only hope, some day. I may he able to show my grat itude to you and, to repay you for what you have done.“ Beverley replied by some graceful words, but as he was alone, he walked to tbe edge of the yacht and looked across the «raters. “Here endeth the prologue," he said to hlmaelf; "now the drama is about to begin. CHAPTER XIX. Tbe party on board the Mona waa broken up. Andrey's nerves were shat tered tor th* time, so that Jack ws« not happy until he could remove her from the yacht to tbe land. “What do you say to a short hotiey- tnoon all alone with me before we go back to Cralglande?" he whispered to her per suasively. and his heart rejoiced at the amile and blush with which she received this idea. And so. despite all Lady Daleswster could say, he carried his point, and three daya after her accident Audrey left tbe Mona and went to the quietest and moat solitary part of the island that was to be found. She had one brief Interview with Bev erley Hoch fort, and her voice trembled aa she tried to speak her thanks. Willie Fullerton was standing by. and somehow It pained and angered him to hear her doing this. "Had I been on board I'll stake my existence it would never have happened.” he murmured to himself, not understand ing why so curious and strung a doubt of Rochfort'a hrarery and honesty should cross his mind, but perfectly assured of Its existence all the same. The day they left th» Isle of Wight Jack seemed full of mystery. "Now. I wonder If yon have the least Idea where yon are going to. my lady?” be observed, merrily, as they reached London and changed trains. "Hom* to Craiglands, of course." "No, not to Craiglands jnst yet.” “1 really cannot imagine, then, but." with a shy little blush, "I—I don't care where It la as long as you an with ■e." n They smiled and chatted on, happy and serene, till they reached their Journey's end. | "Now do you know when you are?” Jack asked as they drove through some dingy streets in a cab, leaving Murray at the station confiding her disgust to her fellow servant, the successor to Hen ry Downs. "No,” abe said In bewilderment. “I have never been here before." "And yet you lived here all your life. This is Broadborough.

"Jean darling!” The joy of that meeting waa not to be adequately described. All Jean's fren and atlfied longings ware swept away M*. Her Audrey was not changed; she ws. .. .wwt, u u or. snd bow beautiful ! Jack, after cordially greeting hie girl- wife’, friend, left them to tbemaelvso for a moment; and then, after he had «♦al tad with Mr. Lulworth, who gaaed with mingled awe and deference oa Audrey, scarcely believing his eyes, he turned le the two girls. "Now, Audrey, I think. If you make inquiries, you will find that Mias Thwalt's trunks are all packed and that we can take our departure together." "Jack"—Audrey paused for s moment —"Jean Is to come back with me! Oh, Jack ! You darling !"

This visit of Jean's was the crosrning point of Audrey's ha ppi nene. Jean lorad to watch them strolling together, arm in arm. through the grounds. She waa a dreamer, and she transformed those tiro into every hero and heroine of history or romance. Day by day she found some new trait to love and admire. As for Jack, be cordially liked the pale. Intellectual-fared girl; ebe waa by nature a thorough lady, end her mind gave evidence of deep thought, that only required culture to blossom Into great cleverneaa. After they had been at CraiglanAs a fortnight there was a bustle sod a con fusion. Miss Fraser returned to Dingle wood House. She Drought back with her about half a doren guests, among whom were Mrs Fairfax and her daughter, tbe Honorable Lancelot Twist, and Beverley Rochfort. Lady Daleswater waa to join her in a few days, and the earl also prom- iaed the honor of his presence. “I suppose we shall be haring a wed ding at Dinglewood before long." declar ed Jack, one morning at luncheon. Andrey waa silent for a moment. "Gladys will be at Dingleirood next week. Must we ask them ts dinner?" she said at length. "I really don't ace why ire should. If Gladys wants to visit Mount berry ebe ought to come and stay with us; she knows that." "But Sheila asked her first, and we can't quarrel at her for accepting aa in vitation, can we. Jean?" "Why not ask Lady Daleswater to come to Craiglands when her visit ends at Dinglewood House?" Jean suggested, timidly. “Yon may do as you like, Audrey, but I still maintain that Gladys should have come to ns first: there, kiss me. darling. I am going to ride orer to Beigbtoo on business." Andrey ran to the door with him. and saw him mount and ride sway. “Now for our visiting, Jean.” she said, and ordered out tbe barouche, and went to dress herself for the occasion. They called at a number of honsea, at Lady Grace Huntley's, at the Everesta’. and many others, and ended by alighting for a few minutes’ chat with Mrs. Thorn gate, who was rather cold toward Audrey, and then by driving to Dinglewood House. Audrey walked into the drawing room, a slender, graceful form, in her dress of dark green velvet, close-fitting Jacket, and small hat to match. Beverley Roch fort. as be rose to met the regal girl, quickly determined that, beautiful as she always was, she had never looked more beautiful than now. Mrs. Watson was knitting by the fire, grim as a sentinel, and Mrs. Fairfax was dosing orer a novel in the most comfort able chair she could find. “My niece is out. Lady John,” Intoned Mrs. Watson, rising stiffly; “aha la fitt ing.” “Yesi didn't yon know that? How strange!" And Mrs. Fairfax laughed softly and disagreeably to herself. "I don't quite see where the strange ness comes in,” Beverley Rochfort re torted. coolly, as he handed eome tea to Audrey and Jean. "I merely meant It was strange that your husband should not have told you be was going to ride out with Sheila this sfternoon, but. no doubt, he did not think it wss necessary; after all. they are such old friends. Lady John, there la no need for you to be Jealous.” “Of course, had your busband known he was to hare the pleasure of Miso Fraser's company during his rids. Andrey, he would have told you,” Jean said, very quietly, looking Mrs. Fairfax full In |he face with her honest, clear, gray eyes; "I expert It waa a hasty arrangement, waa It not. Mr. Rochfort?” "I think you must be right. Miso Th wait," was his answer. He cared nothing for Mrs. Fairfax's angry glances; be saw that he had made a greet stride in both Audrey's and Jean Thwalt's esti mation. “How are all your animals?” he said, coming up to Andrey, and eon reraing in a soft, low voice. Audrey, feeling grateful to him for his delicate tart, responded more warmly than she had ever addressed him before, while Mrs. Fairfax fixed Tier eyeglass on Jean, and tried to stare down the “Im pertinent young person” who had dared to frost words with her. "Er—you are an old friend of Lady John's I preeume. Mise-er—Th wait?" “Yea," Jean answered, laconically. “You were educated together?" “Tee,” Jean answered a second time. “So yon are a charity girl, too?” she observed, «lowly. "Pardon me.
