THE CMAI2ITY GIRL f I By EFFIE A. ROWLANDS I CHAPTER XII. (Continued.) Next day. about lunch time, the in trss, her children and attendants, arrived, with much clatter anil importance. .Sheila by accident, of wuw. just coming down tho stairs a l.ady lales water was ascending thorn. There was a mutual start, and then a rordial greeting. Sheila was liking won d. rfully pretty in her Ions sealskin man tle, her ruddy, golden hair making a bit of bright color beneath her neat hat to match. Iady Daleswater was pleased to approve of hor probable future slster-in- "Tou here. Miss Eraser:" she exclaim ed. "This is quite a delightful surprise. 1 picture,! you in Mountherry, enjoying yourself." "I wan compelled to come to London on buainess matters, and," Sheila added, with a tiny sigh that did not escape Idy Hales water's keen ears, "Mountberry is iot particularly lively just now." "Can you give me any news of my brother is he really so dangerously hurt ? Mamma is such an alarmist, you know." Sheila assumed .1 sad. anxious look, although in reality she was not aware exactly how Jack was at thnt particu lar moment, and had never been very much frightened even at the verdict of the London ditctors, "I am afraid he is very 111." she said In a low voice. Lady laleswater did not seem much Impressed. "I hope you are not returning home Immediately"? No? Oh. that is delight ful, and still more delightful that you liculd be staying here. You mnst come In and dine with me to-night. Mrs. Fra--r is with jou?" Sheila explained that her chaperone was her cousin. Mrs. Watson. "We shall remain in Iondon for a little while," she said, "and I hope to see a great deal of you. Perhaps I may be able to prevail on you to come down to Daleswater House when I go ba-k there. It will be very dull, my dear Sheila ; bct- - But "my dear Sheila" would have glad ly welcomed months of dullness to get such an invitation as this. Her spirits rose brilliantly, and she laid herself out to please Lady Daleswater. Three days later the Earl of Dales water arrived In London, and immedi ately, at his wife's instigation, went j..wn to Mountberry to see how matters were, and the very same afternoon, as Sheila sat yawning over a novel by the Gre, the door opened and Reverley Roeh fort was announced. She started up eag erly to greet him. "Where have you been? I thought you were never coming back." she declared. "I have been busy," be said. "I have not been wasting time, I assure you. You wonder what took me out of London? "Well, I will tell you. I went down to -soothe the last momenta of Roderick Ans truther. Yes, it sounds curious, doesn't it? But Fate for some strange reason trought this man to our rescue just when ne needed him." " "How can he help us?" asked Sheila, incredulously, although her face was flushing with excitement. "More espe cially if, as I understand you to infer, he is now dead." "You shall see. Miss Fraser. Ans truther met me out in Africa; he then went under another name. I always liked the man, there was something grim yet wonderful about bim. When he found 'I was coming to England he gave me a jmcket of papers to bring to his law yers; before delivering them I took the precaution of sounding these lawyers first, and as easily as possible I soon discovered my companion's real name. Needless to say, I did not deliver the papers, more especially when I found that Anstruther was in England, and supposed to be dying he had evidently found his end coming, and rushed over to see Mrs. Fraser before he died. I at once traveled off to aeek him, and, of course, had to tell a few dozen lies or so to explain why I had done bo. Fortu nately, the man was too ill to protest or question much ; all he asked, all he wanted, was to see Constance Fraser, and confess the truth of his treachery toward ber and his bother." "And you call this helping us, Mr. ftoebfortr "As Roderick is dead, and did not con fess to Mrs. Fraser, I certainly do. To please him I drew up a sort of written statement, to which he managed to scrawl liis name just at the very last. Here is the document. Shall I tell you what it contains. Miss Fraser?" Sheila nodded her hpad. "This is the last dying confession of Roderick Anstruther, in which he owns to having separated his brother from his wife for sheer malice. In which he also confesses that his brother! child did really die, and that the girl now living Is the offspring of a secret marriage be tween himself and some country woman." "And she la that really?" Sheila asked 'No, certainly not. Audrey, according to her uncles dying confession, Is the child of Frank and Constance Anstruther. "You forget, I am reading what I wrote, not what Roderick Anstruther told nie to v. rite." "Well?" the &lrl said after this, aa her lirow cleared. "This document then goea on to will the whole of the dead man's fortune and nossesslons to this aforesaid child of Lia on one condition, viz., that she be come my wife before six months elapse; If she refuses, she is to be placed once more In the Female Orphan Asylum till ome definite and equally disagreeable abode is found for her. You will see thnt I have been very careful and very XDlicit. Miss Fraser. I have left noth ing undone that can possibly help us." "You forget, she may always refuse," Fbeila said, gloomily. "This is not what 1 had expected. r "I am not so nervous of failure," Rov rlev returned. "Audrey will be a rich woman If ahe becomes my wife, and her tot will as bo aa eu viable one If aha "There la Mrs Eraser to be faced." "Mrs. Fraser will cease to have any guardianship over the girl when this doc ument la read.!" "Who will he hor guardian?" asked Sheila. "I am loft the one sole and entire guardian of Misa Audrey Anstruther. To deceive him was easy, to explain to the lawyers a trifle more difficult ; but it was soon done. When you peruse this paper carefully you will see that the rea son Roderick Anstruther reposes such trust in me la because few years ago I saved his life at the risk of my own, and because we were firm and never part el friends out In Africa together. 1 give ivy so If great credit for those two lies. Miss Eraser; they come In so neatly, and they carry the day. you see." Sheila looked at him quietly. She was much impressed, yet not quite satisfied. "As you Invented so quickly ami easily, why did you not put In some clause about her being forbidden to marry any one but you?" she asked. "The time was so brief; at any mo ment the lawyers might have come down. Considering all things, I have worked wonders. Remember, I am her sole and entire guardian, and I, for my part, do not fear success." They were suddenly Interrupted by a sharp knock at the door, the handle was turned, and Lady Daleswater swept in. Her face was very white, her lips com pressed and pale ; in her hand was crumpled a telegram. Sheila ran to meet hor quickly. "Iear Lady Daleswater, what is the matter?" she cried. "This la from my husband. My broth er John has disgraced himself and his family. Instead of lying at the point of death, he has married your stepmoth er's supposed daughter. He has tied himself and his honorable name for life to a wretched charity gtrl !" CHAPTER XIII. If she lived to be a hundred years, Audrey would never forget that scene. Her mother had come back from Craig lnnds deeply moved and agitated; and the girl's great, sorrowful eyes had asked the question her frozen lips could not frame. Constance Eraser had drawn the slen der form to her arms without a word at first. Words, Indeed, were not easy. It was a strange thing that had happened; her brain reeled every now and then as it all came back to her. Constance Fra ser kissed the sweet, quivering lips. "Jack wants you; he wants you to stay with him always. Do you under stand me, my darling?" "He wants me to nurse him?" Au drey said simply, her every lim'j quiver ing with eagerness to be gone. "To nurse, comfort and love him !" The mother's hand stroked back the soft locks. "Audrey, he has asked me to give you to him. as his wife." A flood of color burned on each pale cheek, and then the girl paled ashen white again. 'As his wife?" she repeated, slowly; and then, more quickly, "Does he want me now?" "As soon as every arrangement can be made, my own dearest. Does this fright en vou, Audrey?" No," she said, almost inaudibly. "If he wishes it, that is right. I am glad " Then, catching suddenly at the two slen der hands held out to. her, "Mother, can I see him soon?" "You shall go to him to-morrow, my darling. It will not do to excite him too much. The marriage ceremony will take place to-morrow, we hope. You, too, must rest and take care of yourself, my lily flower, my darling." . Audrey sat down as in a itupor. She did not half realize what was going to happen; she only knew that in a few short hours she would see him again, her hero, her beloved ; that was joy enough to daze her ; she could not grasp the full ness of it all at once. It was his hand that clasped hers. and yet how changed. Audrey could not see the pale, weak, clear face for the mist of tears that rose before her eyes. The girl suffered a great shock at sight of him she loved lying prostrate on bis pillow, barely able to speak or to smile The duchess had kissed Audrey tenderly "She is lovely ! Perfectly beautiful !" she had said to Constance Fraser. "No wonder my poor boy loves her so deep ly." Mr. Thorngate read the service, and Mrs. Thorngate stood with the others round the bed. Dr. Sentance was close at hand; he watched his patient narrowly. Certainly it almost looked as if the small flicker of life must suddenly go out. The pulse was very weak, the heart a action uneven, yet the doctor knew that if human will would carry a much-desired point, l-iord John Glendurwood would, with the latest breath, speak the words that made Au drey his wife. In whispers, weak in voice, strong in purpose, John Glendurwood spoke his marriage vows. Audrey repeated the words she was bid to utter in a dim, mechanical fashion, She woke for an instant aa her lover'i feeble hand tried to push the ring over the little finger, but after that she was conscious of nothing save that the face before her grew paler and paler, his hands weaker in their hold. As the rector pronounced the benediction, the duchess gave a cry. "He is gone! He U 'ead ! My Jack! My boy!" The brisk, kind-hearted little doctor read the conditions In a moment. "We must not have you fainting, too, Ludy John," he said, sharply. "Come, hold the bottle to your husband's nose and pass your hand slowly across his brow. I expect you to help me, you know, A (treat deal depends on you now. It Is passing. Complete and utter exhaus tion. Now, Lady John, I want you to kneel down, so that your husband can see you the first thing be opens bis eyes. Audrey obeyed bim Instantly. The faintest flicker of life was visible In th tlmwn. mhlte fii(o. "Rend down and kiss him," command ed Dr. Sentance A flush spn face. She di she pressed In dry, parched Hie sick man. "Audrey.

Don't let him speak, only now nd then incision his lips with a little t tv,i. i;.,,.;.l It Mm s.-e vou and know you are here. You will be the best j ilm.for for him. after all." So saying. Dr. Sentance moved out ot tho room, and beckoned Mrs. Ihorngato to follow him. Well?" she asked, breathlessly, once outside. I do not say for certain, but my be lief Is he will live," win ths doctor reply. CHATTER XIV. All through the night and late into the following day. Audrey sat line a statue beside her husband's bed.
