By
chapter xxvt.
The weeks slipped by, nn.l the young
r-pring began to send out its forerun
ners. It had been a mild winter, and
the big horse chestnut in tlu Mnllinc
ford woods sent forth their round fnle
bu 1 unite a f .rttiliht earlier than usual.
A young fellow tinned Farringdon, the
noil of a friend of" Sir tieoffrey'a youth,
had been among the Christmas visitor
fit Msllingf or I. and it soon npp.ir
nit that he hail fallen desperately in
love with sweet-faced Kthel. lie was
a most estimable young man, with n
substantial rent roll, ami he went to Sir
lieoffrey an.l asked bis consent, feeling
ijuite satisfied as to what wouM be the
result.
Then Sir CieoiTrey spoke to Kthel,
nnd was astonished on receiving an fin
lhatio refusal, coupled with the deelara
tion that lier heart was not her own t
bestow. So, Sir tie fl'rey. bearing in
mind the g rl's happy excitement over
Felling's letter, which contained noth
ing but accounts of Dornton s industry,
talent and success, put two and two to
(Tether and decided that she was still true
to her first love. He was a little dis
appointed that it should be so: but he
bad married for love himself, an.l he was
not point: to attempt to influence his
daughter i:i t'.ie selection of her husband.
So a warm invitation was sent to the
roaming artists, and Kthel settled down
into a beatific state of anticipation: and
one soft spring day toward the end of
April they arrived.
Sir Geoffrey actually drove over him
felf to meet them, and Kthel put on her
prettiest hat and accompanied him. She
did not go on the platform with her
father, but sat there watching the few
passengers pass by ones and twos
through the little station door. She won
dered w hat could be keeping them.
At last her father came out, and with
Mm a handsome sun-burnt, broad-shouldered,
bearded plant, whom Kthel re
praded with no little surprise. Gould
this self-possessed, courteous creature be
Jack her Jack, whom she used to chide
Fotuetiiues for his little mistakes, who
had often confessed that he owed what
little polish lie had to his intercourse
xvith her and her father? Sle was so
astonished at the change in the man
and his maimers that some of her feeling
found its way into her face.
"Hot changed you are!" she had al
most said 'improved." "You look as if
3 oti had enjoyed your winter very much."
"I hare; but I hope to enjoy my
spring better."
Something in the words jarred Ethel's
nic ser.se of tact. She glanced quick
ly at him, blushed agaiu, and changed
the subject.
"Where's Captain Telling, papa?"
That gentleman stepped forward from
behind the pillar of the portico, where,
vith a strange longing, he had stood
watching the eloquent little pantomime
of blushes and glances that had just
taken place. The girl looked at him for
a moment in even greater surprise than
r-he had at Jack. She grew very pale,
then extended both hands quickly.
"I am so glad to see you again." she
aid, "though I am sorry to see you look
ing so tired. I don't think traveling
egrees with you. You must stay at Mall
ingford, and be nursed until you are
iuite well."
A dusky red called up perhaps by
the warmth of her greeting suddenly
upread over his face, then left it again
os colorless as before.
"I am all right." he' returned, smiling
nt the anxious look in her eyes. '"I'm
os hard as nails; nothing ever ails me."
"We won't argue the question now,"
she said, with her usual brightness. "Are
nil your belongings right? Let us get
home. then, and have some luncheon; I
Oin absolutely famished. Come, papa."
The three men took their seats in the
roomy barouche, and the talk became
general. Ethel, leaning back In her cor
I:er, and taking mental note of the trou
ble and suffering written so unmistaka
bly on Felling's face, did not notice that
die in turn was being watched as closely
by some one else, who, by the end of the
fire-mile drive, had come to the conclu
sion that he had been decoyed to Mall
lngton under false pretenses, and had
made up his mind to take the first op
portunity of ascertaining the truth from
lier own Hp. Hut the opportunity did
not present itself so readily as he hail
boped, and three days passed without
a chance of a tete-a-tete. On the fourth,
however, things changed. It was the
day of the private view at the Academy.
Of course Sir Geoffrey, by the right of
bis old associations, had the entree; so
equally, of course, ha Jack as an ex
hibitor. The rooms were, as usual, crowded to
excess. Jack and Sir Geoffrey were in
front, and Kthel was with Telling. Jack
turned suddenly, with his face aglow and
his eye-i shining, und said, iu a proud
whisper:
"Polling, It's on the line!"
Pelling pressed forward and shook
liim stealthily by the hand. Kthel saw
the movement and for a moment wished
tdie was a man to Inspire such a friend
ship as existed between these two; then
she off ere 1 her congratulations warmly
and sincerely.
The other two pussed on, leaving Kthel
xvith Jack to take note of the points of
the picture. Jack, seizing the opportu
nity bent bis head and whispered:
"Do you remember my wuter-color of
last year'"
"To be sure," she answered, without
liny sign beyoud a slight Increase of color
that the memory was a disquieting one.
"How much liua happened since then
(hat I could wish undone!"
"And I, also."
"Do you mean that?"
"Why tthould I say it unless I did?"
Jack looked excited. It was an awk
ward place to make an avowal of love,
certainly, but he would not lose the op
portunity she bad given blm. He leaned
forward and pointed out some flaw In
a picture before them, without iu the
least knowing what be was saying, tbeu

'.'And do you really love me still? And
may I try to redeem my past folly by
loving you more than ever?"
CHAPTKK XXVII.
Ethel's answer completely staggered
Jack.
"There are two questions, and they
require two answers." she replied. In a
low. steady voice. "I do not love you
still not as 1 did then. And. in my
opinion, nothing could repair your past
folly. Weakness and faithlessness are
just the two failings 1 colli I never ex
cuse in a man. They are so supremely
ft miniiie!"
"I have been misled." he said, shortly.
"Not by me, directly or indirectly."
"Was it not in deference to your w :ti
that Sir Geoffrey invited me to Mailing
ford?" "Certainly. Hut may not a young
woman wish to see a young man i
whom she takes a very warm friendly
interest, without the young man repaying
her by an offer of marriage? Come let
us be friends. You are not madly iti
love with me, you know. It was as
much pity for my supposed love-lorn
state as anything that led you to make
this declaration. Now that you see I am
not love-lorn, and you have done your
duty by me iu giving me the chance you
thought 1 was pining for. there is an end
of it."
"I don't understand you one bit."
"Of course not. We women pride our
selves on not being understood. It is the
only defense we have, the power of hid
ing our feelings. Come let us find papa,
and we will forget all about this foolish
talk, and be just as comfortable togeth
er as we were before."
Jack obeyed rather suriily. It was a
change for him to be treated in this light,
off-hand way by Kthel. after he had been
taught to believe that it was his bouudeu
duty to res ale her fr on the slough of
slighted affeeti uis. Hut. though he was
really very fond of her. and would doubt
less have made her an excellent husband,
his pride was more deeply touched than
his feelings by her refusal, so there was
plenty of room for hope that he would
quickly recover from the blow.
Peliing looked at tl.eui when they at
last met. guessed that something had
taken place. He could see their evident
flurry, but he could not tell how matters
had fared with Jack. He believed them
to be favorable. If it should prove so.
his task would be finished: he would
have reunited Ethel to the only man she
could ever care for. and he would drown
his own heart griefs in the excitement
of foreign travel.
The men lingered longer than usual in
the dining room that evening, and Ethel
found the time hang heavily on her
hands. Presently she heard the footsteps
of the three cross the hall In the direc
tion of the billiard room, and she was
surprised that they hail not asked her
to mark for them. She felt nervous and
anxious, and was tired of being alone.
With this feeling upon her. she decided
to get a book and for a time -at least
forget the thoughts which oppress.. ,1 her.
She went to the library and wheeled
the steps to a certain shelf that he
the works of her favorite authors. There
was only one lamp in the large room,
but there was a fire burning in the grate.
She was wearing a ruby-colored velvet
dress, buttoned up to the throat with
large cut steel buttons that glimmered
and sparkled coldly from their warm
i-etting. It was made, in defiance of
fashion's stern rule, without frill of
pmllng and fell gracefully and softly
about her shapely figure. When she had
reached the top of the library steps, the
room door opened and Captain Pelling
entered. He began to pace in decided
agitation up and down the dimly lighted
room. Ethel turning round hastily and
seeing who it was, uttered a little ex
clamation of dismay.
"Miss Ethel! I did not see you. Look
ing for a book? Aren't you afraid of
falling? Come down and let me get it
for you." He was at the foot of the
steps, his hand outstretched to help her.
"I'm not at all afraid, thank you; ami
I have not decided onj book yet."
"W. n't yo'i do without your novel
reading to-night and let me tell you a
tale instead?"
Her heart went out to him as she de
tected a quiver of painful anxiety in his
voice.
"If it is a nice tale and ends happily,"
she answered. "I like all tale to end
happily. Does yours?"
"It depends on what you consider hap
piness; what to you may seem happi
ness may to me be the depth of despair.
Will you come down and listen?"
Ethel descended from her perch ami
took the chair he had set for her, he
seating himself opposite.
"It is a very short story," he began,
as he turned up the lamp and stirred the
fire. Then he went on: "Once on a time
two men loved one woman, They both
loved her dearly, but, of course, they
could n t both marry her. Now it hap
pened that the one she loved offende 1
her very grievously, and the one she did
not love tried to ingratiate lions -If
through the favored one's offense. Hut
the cause of offense was suddenly remov
ed, am then the unloved one said to
himself, 'Her heart Is hound up in this
man; she will never know happiness, but
as his wife; she does not love me. 1 w;ll
devote my life to making her happy by
bringing them together.' Well, he did.
He helped the favored man to make him
more worthy of her. It was the one
dream, the one ambition of his life, to
see them united. Of course there ere
times when he felt still that he could
never know happiness without her him
self. He was a selfish beggar at the
best; but he really did do ull he could
for the man she loved. Imagine then
hi ustoiiishmeiit when the mail whom
he had thought she loved came to him
one day and said, 'It has been all a
mistake on your part; she does not care
for me at all.' Think what a disappoint
ment It was to the poor wretch who had
been working to bring them together at
the tacrine of bit own feelings! When
he had recovered from the first pang of
disappointment, he began lo wonder
what her refusal meant, and a n. leu
in. id thought eaiue into his head. It
was a wild. Improbable, iture I son. !!.
thought. There were no grounds for it
in fact, all things seemed to point In
an opposite dlie.t on. St;ll the thought
was in his mud. Shall I tell yon what
that thought was';" lie paused for i
moment nt ths point, and then, moving
nearer to hcr,wcnt on. "lie thought
that, perhaps, Iu the great tenderness of
her heart, this woman had at first pitiel
him for ii certain iiuha ppinoss that cloud
ed li s l.fe for a time, th it possibly she
had overrated his ctTor:s on lier behalf,
and that, between her feelings and pity
and gratitude, she was carried it httls
out of herself and Imagined she ought,
as a matter of duty, you know, to marry
the mail lu' .lid not really love. Then
he said, 'This must not be; I will go and
set her mind at lest, and tell her pot to
worry about me. I shall be all right by
and by, and learn la time to be content
t.l without her.' "
"And did he go?"
"Yes, he went."
"And what did the woman say?"
"Ah. that is more than I can tell nt
pres. nt. I have come to ask you to
finish the story for me."
"1 see." with a smile. "This is how I
should tin sh it. The humble minded
man. who .lid not think It possible that
he eoul I be I ive.l for himself alone, went
to the w. man and to', I her he !i..ul I

up Mi which the woman r..se up mil! held
out her hands, saying. 'Hut 1 can never
learn to be contented without oii. Alee,
for I love v.. ii very, very dearly!'"
A faint little wlrsper that sounded
like "My own. own love!" floated throi;'i
the room, and Captain Peliing and Kilnl
Mailing were locked iu a close embrace.

"Io you think so?" Pel 111 g asked,

Of course Sir Geoffrey was d -'iglit - I.
As a man. he thought highly of aj.tai'i
Pelling. P. -s d.-s. he had undoubted a 1
vantages of birth and position, and
would make an excellent master of the
household when the present possessor
should have gone to rest.
Jack was inclined to be displease 1 nt
first; but it was characteristic of tho
facile nature of tne man that bo con
sented to be conciliated, mid stayed ou
right into tho summer, making Malllng
ford his headquarters during his tr.ps
into the surrounding country to touch up
from nature Lord Summers' six pictures.
And, as the days lengthened to their

day some one ventured to ssy sui.o
ihlng of the kind to her. Her eyes
flashed a little, as she answerel:
"You d-i n't know him as he really is .
it' ymi did. you Would not be s irprise 1."
Alee took her to Purls ..n their wel
ding trip, and amid the gaieties i f tho
city they did not forget one day to pay
a visit to Pauline's grave. Ethvl placed
a large wreath of immortelles on the
resting pi. we of her unfortunate cousin
and turned away with u lump rising iu
her throat. Husband and wife were
both very silent ou the way back to their
hotel.
They received one visitor before they
passed on toward Italy it was llab. tte,
now Mine. Coiiroiine. of the P.oiilevard
des Itnliens. She had Invested her five
thousand pounds judiciously, and was
already becoming rather celebrated ns
one of the leading modistes of the city.
She wished one pie. of news to be con
vened to Sir Geoffrey. Messrs. Daws :
Haven had made "n (lash in tin- pan"
with their two thousand five hundred
pounds; they had speculated through a
man who was "hammered" the very next
settling day, and so lo-t every penny,
and were Iu a worse plight than ever.
"They wanted me to join in the same
speculation," added Mine. Coiironne,
"with ro money your father had been
so so generous us to insist upon my ac
cepting; but you have a proverb. 'A bird

and I kept my money under my own

never hj happy as when lie is walking

name, by and by. Captain Pelling is
everyth'ng that a country gentleman
should be; and, iii spile of the many calls
'in him, he is always able to spend plenty
of time in his wife's society. The pleas

at a recent meeting the application of
