Thoro was tho nino .' gossip, rn.l thou tho Fraser mnmage became a thing of tho past, although thoro wore svne of Constance's women friends who trill ilieus'd tho subject. "There h.is hivn something mystorious nlotit tho girl for tho last two years:" cried Mrs. Fanfare, tho biggest scandal monger of tho time, "auil 1 'or ono al vays thought thnt young Frank Anstni thor's sudden death hail a groat iloal to do with it. Constance was tomlly in love with him. pwr girl I Well, sS has done very well in one sense. This Fraser man i-i rolling iu money positively rolling, luy d -ar '." In a vague, jot uncertain, way Sheila f.-!t th.it it was only through Iut step mother's popularity nn I undoubted social position that sh- was received and wel comed as the friend of the county fami lies around the neighborhood, and os-s- sseil the entree of the ;est houses in I.omlm wheu they stayed there for the fnison : and. bearing this in mind, it w,i -. only natural she should W very care ful to keep on good terms w;th one who was so vory indisjiensaMe to her. poop ch.wn in the girl's shallow intense of a heart there lurked a rankling jealousy for the delicate, aristocratic, still beau tiful woman who had been her father's wife. Sheila had never quire understood Constance Fraser. and she was just a lit tle l;it afraid of her: she know how bit ter the sweet, refined voice could rinj sometimes, and how contemptuously the pile lips could curve when occasion mer itej it. She felt vaguely that Mrs. Fra ser knew her at her exact worth; and yet the young stepmother bad never, by word or sign, been anything l.ut kind and affectionately consi lerate r j the girl whose guardian she was. Sheila turned away from the mirror with a frown, and throwing herself on her lace-trimmed pillow, again --ok up her letters. The frown vanish ?d .ss she read t'.ie warm and pr-ssing invitations from two or three of the best houses around to I ;n ; heon, dinner, tea. and the like. "Dab. .' I am a fool she aid to her self, and she laughed shortly. "I was ly half awake j'ist now, and what if tills ine? and girl is pretty, how di's that affect I a:n Miss Fraser. of i linglewood. heiress to a g o 1 luml'd thousand founds. I don't think I reed trouble my head about a s-rvant maid's face !" She read through the rest of her letters, and then rang her bell sharply. "Why doesn't the girl come back? I must get tip. or Jack will be oSf before I have Lin If dres.SHil I" The bell rang sharply in 'he corridor cutside, but Audrey neither understood inr heeded its purpose. Sh was very frightened, and very full of pity at that particular moment. She had gone direct, as Miss Fraser had commanded her, to Mrs. Fraser's loom : she knew it, because Ilircham had pointed it out to her the evening before; she had knocked gently, and on receiving nn answer, hhe had gone timidly in. The room was large, airy and pretty; it was hung with dainty chintz, ind was. com pared to Sheila's magnificent apartment, bi.nple beyond description ; vet Audrey T It, in a sudden and indescribable way, that she liked it much better; it was so Iresh and dainty looking, nl there was plenty of room to move aiout. A tire was burning brightly, and a large bowl of daffodils and tulips made a upot of color in the window. A woman, in a whiie mob cap and large apnn, was just placing a tray by the bedside, and Au drey, raising her eyes very nerioiisly. s'iw a delicate, lovely face lying oil the pillow. "Who is it, .Marshall'.'" inquired Mrs. Fraser iu u low, but siugilurly sweet voice. "If you please, I I am come from Miss Fraser." Aud:ey stammered out the message as easily as she could. She as not exact ly frightened, and yet her heart was flut tering, for she felt rather chin saw that Mrs. Fraser' eyes were fixed upon her. Marshall was replying in a brisk yet re spectful way when her misrivss stopped her. She stretched out a fragile hand, white as snow, toward the girl. "Who are you?" she asked In eager, hurried tones. "Where do you come from? Come nearer! Come close! I want to see your face. I " "If you please, ma'am, th'n Is Miss Fraser' new maid us Mr. Thorngato 'as got for her," said Maruha'l. Mrs. Fraser had pushed herself up In bed ; her deep blue eye were thming like Blurs, and a rush of color luid come Into her white cheeks. Involuntarily Audrey had drawn nearer, and had !ut her small, woik-stuined fingers into those other del icate ones. Mrs. Fraser pusned the girl round with her fuce to the light, paused for nn Instant, and then gave one broken, vohhing cry : "Merciful heavens! It It is " She struggled with her ointh. at retch ed out her two bunds a though to some I'nscen yet preelou protect. if, and then gave an inarticulate aioau and dropped ROWLANDS 'i'JPl ''ack on her pillow inonV. Audrey, remhling in every limb, h is"o iod to obey : Marshall, ns sho dirtvtod her to orlng ionic can do cologne and s i!ts from tho , largo chinti hung dressing tab'o: she did I not know why, but the sunt of Mrs. j Fraser's death like f.iiv ,ivo, her he- , yond description. Marshall evidently ; was not unused to this sign of weakness in her mistress. "She'd one of her hid nights." Audrey heard her mutter; "poor i.tnih ! I know it nli 'ii I first siw her this n,.irnlng. F.nr Miss Cotist.incv ! l'oor, pretty Miss Con stance !" She whisked nwny a tear while she rub oed some of the scent across tho pnl brow, and held the salts to the delicate nostrils. "I've htMMi with her orrr inoo she wore a child," sho said, huskily, to Audrey, who st.vxl with her hands lightly clasp ed together; "and she'll never bo nothing to me but Miss Constance, poor dear I" "Is is she always ill?" Why was It thit Audrey could not conTol her voice? Marshall nodded her hold, and jist then the bell pealed through tho corridor again, and Mm. Fraser opon.-d her thickly fringed eyes with a start and looked blankly around her. Mari'nill motioned Audrey away. Audrey rolue'antly with drew her gaze from that S'vtvt. suffering face, and wi;h the memory o.' those deep blue eyes clinging to her, -he returned to her mistress' rtxim. "Another fainting tit?" observed Sheila, impatiently. "lear mo, now tiresome! I suppose she won't W able to go to the (Jlaston hunt ball to-night. Masse, you seem to me inclined to dawdle. I enn't have lazy jH'ople about mo. I5irchani, my white serge tea gown. I suppose the breakfast gong has sounder?" "Yes, miss, ten minutes ago; and I met his lordship a-goiu' down as I come up. You'll just have trr.ie to run Into Mrs. Fraser's room and " "I shall have nothing of the kind," retorted Sheila stamping lier foot im patiently, as Audrey's cold lingers moved slowly in their task of t'ltronlng her dainty shoe straps. "You must go In and tell Mrs. Fraser I will ci-e her after breakfast. Hircham, this g rl Is simply a clumsy fool ! If you can't teach her to manage better than this sho must go!" Audrey's eyes were blinded with hot tears. She was doing her vtry best, but Sheila had no pity for her awk wsrduoss, and could willingly have kicked her for looking so beautiful. CHAPTER V. "What time do we start?" Sheila Fra ser asked Lord John, as ureakfast drew to an end. She was not alone with the young man; an elderly lady, a j.oor relative of her mother's, was present. Had Sheila been left to her own inclinations. this quiet, grim, and undoubtedly middle-class Mrs. Watson would never have been given a place in her home ; but Constance Fraser had spoken so direct and to the point on this subject that her stepdaughter had given in. aud offered in as gracious a manner ns -.lie could the post of housekeeper to this linKveri.sh'sJ connection. "Io you seriously think of going to day:' he laughed, turning to the girl, who looked very fresh and pmrtv in her picturesipiely draped white .o ye gown. "Why not?" demanded Shiila. "Remember the ball." "Oh. the ball!" with an o'ry laugh. "My dear Lord John, I could follow the hounds for a week at a t and then dance through two balls." "Sheila has excellent health," Mrs. Watson remarked, monotonously. Sheila rose abruptly. How slow their friendship advanced. He wis perfectly aware that it was his mother'j most earn est desire to "-e Sheila Fri.s?r his wife, but he was equally well awa-e that he had no such desire himself. He was in no hurry to be married, and hj certainly would never marry for money. All this, however, he kept in himself, and although he was so intimate with the heiress of Dinglowood, he had never by word or deed given either Sheila or any one else reason to suppose dm', he held any deper feeling for the girl than that of an ordinary friend. Later Sheila bad some dinner In her room, having ascertained that Mrs. Fra ser would be well enough to r.ccompany her to the ball ; and when tne time came she arrayed herself in her magnificent diamonds, and even gave "the charity girl" a smile, as Audrey, overcome with the brilliant spectacle, put tier hands together, and exclaimed aloud with de lighted admiration. "Let Maxse sit up for me, Hircham," she ordered, nnd then she swept away and joined Mrs. t ruser s tall, elegunt figure in the hall below. "My mistress ought not to have gone out to-night! It is enough to kill her!" exclaimed Marshall in indignation. "If I had my way, I'd have told Miss Fra ser pretty plain what I think of her, dragging a poor, sick, suffering creature out a cold night like this, diid all for her selfishness! It' heartless, that's what I call it!" Hircham made no reply, although she overheard this speech ; hut Audrey felt her heart beating with sympathy, too. How fragile and ill Mrs. Fraser looked! Surely Miss Fraser could not Dave known how weak she was ! "Now, keep up the fire, and you may go to sleep, if you like," Hinham said. "See that Miss Sheila's slipi er are warm, and everything out that she wants. They'll ring the bell when they come, but I don't expect they'll be home till quite morning." Aurrey glunced at the clock nnd sighed weurily; she sut down timid;y on one of the richly covered chairs, und dictated to herself thut she must not and khould not go to sleep. Needless to say, before half an hour had gone, soothed by the warmth, tho luxurious cushions at her buck, and hilled by the silvery ticking of the clock, bho was fast asleep, dreumi.ig of Jean. All at once she was awakened, a boll went pealing through the i) ut house. Bha started from her cozy no k and rub bod her eye. Nearly half past twelve 1 TTir.f wore notn early. She stiixl at At tention, and wont to open i'io door for Miss Fraser. Thorn womed to be some little confusion, and thm A i '. re J heard a I rank, determined voii-e. "I tell j on I'm going to carry you up stairs. I will not leino y.ni till I see j on sife in jour room." There w as some murmured plotost. and then Audrey per.vivod .lack tilondur vool, coming along ns ivisily h possi ble, ciurjing Mrs. Fraser's slight form in his arms, llo saw 'ho g'.d tu nn ln Mllllt "Which Is tho room?" ho ailed, nulct to rtii I and appreciate the sympathy in lo r gleat blue ej i s. I She led tho way and opened the door.' Marshall was doling by t lire "What Is It?" she cried, starting up hurriedly; then, as she grasped tho sit cation, "Ah. Miss Constance, I know it mv il would be; you weren't tit for It, my lamb! Itring her here, uy lord. I'm rich, thankful to you for oaiijlng her up; she's ns weak as an Infant, that's wha she Is." "loti't Nlievo her. Jack," said Con stance Fraser in her sw eet, fi eblo voi.v. She was Iv inc back in a great wide I chair, looking Inexpressibly beautiful, though as white as a ghost, in her long, black velvet dress, with th-' rich Villeli lionnes laco about tho neck. Jack Clctiiliirwond foMd his arms nnd looked down at her gravely. "Promise to go to N'd at once," he said. "I shall not leave l tit il I hear jo'i nrv at rest." "At rest?" A faint, bitter smile flick ered across the pale lips, ail then Mrs. Fraser stretched out her hand, "tlool incht my friend. Heaven I 1. ss you nnd thank you for your loving if re of mo. I-I n:n not worth it. Jack, dear; I inn not worth it." For answer ho bent down and kissed tho white hind, and then Mrs. Fraser taught sight of Audrey standing behind. "It was no dream! It win no mjth! Com.- to mo. child ! Ah, do no bo fright i tied ; I w ill not harm you. I w ill only kiss you. nnd gaze into your fnoe." Jack C.len.lurwood had turned with a start, and made way for A i Irey to piss bin. She move slowly across to that black-robed form nnd knelt down. She was not frightened, only awed and strangely stirred. "Lift up your i yes. Ah!" as Audrey obeyed her. "Child: Child! Who are jon? What are you. with your faii that comes up from the past?" She lient for ward and touched the girl's brow with her lips; she clung to the girl's bunds nnd a moan escaped her. Suddenly she released her hold, and her l.iad dropped on her breast. "Take her nway, my u -d !" cried M ir shall, bending over her mistress. "She has got something on her mnd ! She has d"il ' nothing but talk of this child's face r.ll day. It's only weuknss, I fear. Poor Mi; Constance "' "C. mo," said Jack to Audrey, very gentij. As one in a dream she rose to her feet nnd followed him out of the room, asd then, when she was outside, she burst iiiti a Hood of irrepressible, rervous tears, ieaning against the wall, "less of any one oi anything but the strange, wild tu niul" nn l pain in her breast. Jack stood by in silence, but as her sobs dbsl away he put his hand gently on her shoulder. "Poor child ! Poor little child '." Then, as she lifted her tear-suimed. eloquent loveliness to his face, he Irew both her ; hands in his. "lion't cry, child:" he I said, quickly, "I I hut" to s. e you cry. j o seem very lmndy ; you r.te strnnu-e here. Come; shall we strike a bargain? You lot me help you jester I.. y, you must I let me help you again. Shall we tie friends?" "Friends, my lord?" she faltered. "You and I! Oh, it cannot ik! ! am only u servant, a charity girl, an 1 yen -" "Are henceforth the friend of that char ity girl," was his answer, nnl with that he lnt and kissed her hands ns he had just kissed Constance Fraser's and, with a tet.oer smile and gentle "good-night" wen' slowly down the stairs and out of l lit bouse.
