The rintiug was in a language ahe did not understand; but she gnenxed It iniiNt be Spauixh.

She wiped the perspiration from her white, quivering face, placed the photo- grapa lu tier dress, and locked the desk. CIIAITKU XI. Jack was by no means heartless, and Ms conscience pricked him more often than was pleasant with regard to Kthel Mallett. lie wondered a little If she had really censed to care for him, if she had jet found a successor to him, or if plijue alone had led her to offer him his free dom. She had sent him back the littlt ring he put on her tinger when they were so happy together, and, with strange inconsistency, he carried it about with bim continually. Just about this time Jack began to think that be ought to call in liucking tiain street. If only to show his gratitude for Mr. Mallett'a many past kindnesses, for lie old gentleman had often beeu able ami always willing to do Jack a good turn in past days. Once convinced that lie ought to do thing, Jack did It. The morrow would lie the first of Sep tember, and the house was full of peo ple who hud been Invited to enjoy tlie abundant sport Mallingford offered. A number of amiable young men were lounging about the corridors and billiard room all day, who talked of nothing but tlie probable weather ou the morrow, the chances for and against good sport, and the respective merits of their own and other men's guns. Jack obtained a few words with 1'auline before breukfast, and carried his point. "I must have severnl things for to morrow," he aaid. "I know you would not wish me to be different from ethers, and I cannot get what I want without going to town myself." I'sullne would have dearly liked to go with U i in. for she had a horrible fesr that he would find out something If he should call ou the Mallotts. She was not supposed to know of the existence of such people for Jack had never spoken of them to her so he could f";t well as li i 1 11 not to call on them; and she could not leuve her guests without some very serious reason; consequently she was forced to feign a complacency she was far from feeling aa she an swered: "Of coiirsp, if you must go, there Is nothing more to be said; but you will nor stay one half hour longer than Is abso lutely necessary' If I dou't know where you are, 1 have arch a feeling of unrest and suiiety that life becomes a sorrow for the time being." There was honest truth In these words, and Jack was llattered and grateful for her love, lie kissed the beautiful lips, and promised to be back at the Very earliest moment possible. When Jack was In the train, with a quiet half hour before him for thought, be felt curiously cloyed with the sweets of love, and was ungrateful enough to wish that 1'auline would leave tlie love making a little more in his hands, and that her affection was of a less assertive character. Two or three hours later, when he had rushed through the business of the day and stood in the Malleus' sitting room, shaking hands with both father and daughter and exchanging cordial greet ings, he felt us if he had been living lu a hot bouse of alTections for the past weeks, and had Just regained Ui invig orating o" o "r where the hardier, healthier class of feelings flourish. He wondered a little at Mr. .Mnllett'a geniality, knowing nothing of label's generosity In taking the entire responsi bility of their separation upon herself, and still less of her father's hope that she had got rid of a nameless nobody fust In time to leave the road clear for a suitor more worthy of her in every way; and Jack felt somewhat phjued that Mr. Mallett should make so light of the whole business. Hut he did not let bis annoyance ap pear upon the surfaoe. He told of the success of the painting for I xiril Sum mer, of his hope for the future, of the gay life st Mallingford, and impressed his hearers with tlie fact Ihst he was brimming over with good fortune and bappines. Kthel did not say much; but she ap peared to be quietly, kindly interested; and, though she wit paler than she used to be, she did not give one the Idea of lovelorn damsel. She sat listening to the conversstlon, and wondering If her father would touch on the subject of their identity during Jacks visit; but Mr. Mallett did not wish to be made ths topic cf gossip among Mis Mailing's guests, and therefor kept his own coun sel. When Jack was about to leave, Mr. Mallett decided to walk part of the wsy with him, and accordingly went down staif first. Jack turned, with the door lisndl In hi hand, to thank Kthel for what ah had done yet hardly to thank her. either. "I can't go without thanking you for fcelng so candid with me, Kthel." he said. "Of course I ws very surprised when I received your letter breaking off XL W. The flifc's Secret, OR A BITTEN RECKONING MARLOITB M BRAEMB the engagement ; but equally of course there was nothing for ui to do but ac quiesce in your wish." Kthel felt how ungenerous this remark was, seeing that his neglect bad led to what had happened; but she would not be driven Into reproaching him, and ao giv him cause to Justify himself. Her feelings wer too real to besr dissec tion, and she Voided the discussion. "That is all passed," she said, grave ly; "better let it rest." Though she did not say one word In self-defense, there was a world of re proach in the subdued tone of her ad vice; though her speech wa so Indif ferent, her whole manner ssserted her right to be considered more than blame less throughout the affair. Jack felt miserably small under her calm gaze, ami his respect for her was vastly Increiisiel by this little passage at arms; and, as he wua carried by the af ternoon express back to Mallingford l'urk, he could not shake from his uiind the fable of the dog and the shadow. ciiaptkk xn. The rain was coming down In torrents, and there was a general expression of disappointment on the men's faces round the breukfast tnble at Mallingford I'ark. "Hut you know it is really too bad," Cecil Hauesford observed to Miss Mail ing. "Your head man had fixed to-day for the north end covers, and he says they are the best on the whole estate; and now this rsin conies and spoils the whole thing. It is. annoying, you must allow." "I'oor creatures men!" said the Hon. Miss Collins, reflectively. "The comfort of their lives depends upon the one amusement of the hour. Heprive them of that and they are stranded helplessly. Clad I'm a woman! "Well, I hope you will have got over the first rush of slaughter by the 17th," Pauline Interposed, bringing the conver sation back to tue original object. "Why by the 17th?" several asked. "Iters use I shall then attain my long- deferred majority, and dear old Lord Summers insist that there will be a big affair ou the happy occasion." A ball? Delightful!" exclaimed the ladiea. 'And I shan't be here!" niutfered Ce cil. Ilia attention was suddenly arrested by ao advertisement In the Times, which he held in his band. 'Ky all that's mysterious!" he exclaim ed; and then lis aat gazing at the news paper In mute astonishment. llertha Collins leaned across, and look ed at the place he was pointing at. llow extraordinary! she exclaimed. "Kor pity's sake, let us into the mys tery! 1'auliue said; and Hertha read out the following advertisement: 'i ain.,.,f... i ii... i. i i . .. ... ufeiiji ii iniH, ii una annum meet the eye of Sir U. M.. he will hear of something to his decided advantage by applying to Messrs. Daws & Itsveu, 10 I. email street, K. C " There wos general astonishment and various were the surmises as to what it could mean. Jack, glancing at I'au line, was surprised to see her agitated and white to the lip. She niotioued to him not to notice it, and fought deter minedly with her emotion. The others were too much absorbed bv their pllrinsit v to take much heed, and she bore herself us usual until breakfast was finished. "Will you help Mrs. Sefton and me to finish filling In the cards tor the sev enteenth?" she asked Jack, aa she left the breakfast room. Jack promised to Join them In the boudoir in a quarter of an hour. He die) not like to think of Pauline's look. He was a poor struggling artist, who had hitherto lived by tlie exercise of his un aided talent, and Pauline was a rich, high-born woman, his superior in most tiling that count in this world; yet he would not make her his wife if he did not believe her life to be spotless and with out flaw. Tliia was the idea that haunt ed him as he recalled her look at the breakfast table. If ever a woman's face expressed suddenly arouse. 1 fear, nls fiancee's had don so when Iter t ha Col lins read that advertisement in the Times. He went back to the breakfast room be fore he Joined Pauline, read the adver tisement again, and copied c e.Mress into his note book. "If I am In the neighborhood with a few moments to spare. I in ly look them up and see what it means," he decided. Then he followed the ladies to the boudoir. Pauline, still looking unlike her self, was siiing with Mrs. Sefton. Jack said nothing to Ihem, but went straight to his work of filling n the invitations from the list of names given him. Mrs. Sefton left the room after a time; and Pauline, turning to Jack, put her hand entreatingly on his arm. "I know what you are going to ask me; but I can't talk about it just now not to-day. I will tell you to-morrow, or the day after; but don't speak of it now. I ask it a a favor." Jack felt perplexed. He had expected the moment they were alone together that she would tell bim what had caused her disquiet. He felt unhappy and wor ried, jet he could hardly force her to speak upon subject that evidently dis tressed her. "Of course, I don't want to worry yon, darling," he answered; "but I must con fess 1 am curious, and I shall be glad when you can tell me all without dis tressing yourself." "Thank you vry much, dear. And now I want to ssk you if there is any one you won!, 1 like me to send curj to for this hall." Jack flushed as he replied: "Yes; there are two people I should like you to Invito Mr. Mallett and his daughter. They are everything desira ble, or I should not suggest it; and the old gentleman wa very kind to in in the day that are gone." "Wa the daughter kind, too, Jack?" playfully. Again Jack flushed little. "I think you are a bit of a witch." he said, with a laugh. "I may aa well tell you, anl then ther will be no secret In my past for you to find out hy and hy. Ye, she was kind to me, and once I thought I l.kel her well enough to msk her my wife; but that wa before I met you. you siren T' "You don't think so now?" "If I did, should I he here?" The rain continued to pour down steadily, and the scratch, scratch of the busy pen went en without interruption Pauline finished her lis first, and st bsck In her chair, with a thoughtful, chastened look on her face which wa strangely unlike her usual Imperious air. Jack noted It. snl thought her more beautiful. If that were possible, although h wondered what bad brought about so; great a change. II felt a forewsrulug that this wa th littl cloud la their sky that would darken the whole heavens. "A last!" be exclaimed, as b threw down bit pen. You hsv been a good boy," Paulin said, with a amil. ,"W could not hav nnisiieo. mem to-day without your help. So I shall los him after all. If I " satisfactorily explain this morning a ht!" sh. reflected. .Ion. in ber dre".- not fright lug room, "lie will not allow a secret be tween us. What csq 1 do? If I con coct a Ii to account for It, ther may b an advertisement lu t j-morrow's pa per that will expose it. Who can want to find Geoffrey Mailing after allowing m undisputed possession for th last six yesrs? If they find him, they will tell all, and h will claim hi inheritance; they cannot want bim for anything else. I must discover how much they know, or bow csn I fight them? I can't trust another; I must do It myself;" aud, with these thoughts riming through ber mind, she crossed to the bell, which Hahett promptly answered. "Habette, 1 want to run up to Loudon this afternoon, and I dou't want th whole bouse to kuow about It." Itabette's eyes flashed with a quick glance of intelligence; but her li.bi droop ed instantly, and she answered, meekly; "Certainly, mademoiselle." "If the people see the brougham leav ing th house, It will set theiu wonder ing; so I want you to run dowu to th village during luncheon and bring buck one of the public flies from the inn there. Tell the man to drive to the stable yard in fact, you can com buck lu It; aud let it b ther by a quarter past three. " "Very good, mademoiselle." Ilubette'a face gleamed with mruel de light behind Pauline' back as she left the room. So you think yon hav only to go to Messieurs Daws & ltayen and show your pretty face, and maybe a ten-pound not or ao, and they will tell you all about th person who sent tbem that advertise ment! Kut you do not nitwit a French woman so simply, my good friend! Mr. Daws Is quite prepared to receive you with politeness, ami to tell you that he really knows nothing more than that his client, whom be is not at liberty to name, is anxious to obtain the address of th present Sir Geoffrey;" and the girl chuckled grimly a she went along. "That old Daws will hardly risk losing hi share of the plunder, even to oblige a sweet, so handsome, so soft-voiced a lady as you, nia.iaine!" aud she laughed again as she pictured the meeting between her mistress and the lawyer. "1 wish I could be there to see!" . Pauline stopped to speak to Jack a they cross the hall after luncheon. I shall lie down for the whole after noon; my head Is aching so dreadfully. What will you do with yourself. Jack? A wet day Is such a terrible infliction in a country house!" I shall work. It's a week to-day since I touched a brush; It will be a grand opportunity. I should advise your taking a good rest while you can get It," Jack responded, in a matter-of-fact tone. Pauline set her 4ccth in heri nuderlip and left him, her mind racked with anx iety and fenr. "At all cost I must b In a position to tell him something that will not be con tradicted. I must find out how much those people know before to-night." (To be continued.)

"Now It's all very fine for you to have these plans for making John over If he iict'ds It," sahl the old lady. "He may have some Ideas about reforming; ft few little habits of yours, my dear but you don't want to go too far, either of you, ntnl you want to be pretty careful what you sny. "When I was a girl, somebody toltl me the story of a young woman who iiui.lo the young iiinii she married promise her lie would have nothing to do with smoking.

Merelv for Illustration. A school teacher w ho has not a very good memory, says that she sometimes forgets, from Friday to Monday, what some delinquent, whose punishment holds over, has actually done. It may be that the child's mother has been sent for, to talk about the matter, and then the way Is plain. The teacher summons the little culprit, and says to her severely, "Now, tell yonr mother exactly what happened." The chilu, fearful of correction, tells, nnd the teacher's memory Is refreshed. A certain officer, when his men were nt rifle practice, became exasperated nt their clumsiness. "Here," he said to one of them, "give me your gsin." He shot nt the target, but the ball went wide. The men grinned. "There," said the officer to the man who had lent him the gun, "that's the way you shoot. " Then he tried again, with the same 111 result. Put he was undaunted.

The full working out of the merit system In civil service can never be accomplished. I believe, until we recognize the prlnclpnl of a civil pen sion for superannuated government employes. There la no other impor tant nation which has not recognized that principle. "In an Inquiry reaching nearly 2.000 corporations replies show that 70 have adopted some plan for retiring and providing for employes during old age. Without a single exception these cor porations which have adopted such a plan expressed the opinion, after hav ing had an opportunity to note Its ef fects, that It wns a wise business prac tice. Aa a rule those American cor porations which have adopted the old age pensions system have treated the matter In the light of deferred wages, the corporation bearing the entire ex pense of the pension requirements. "If I were to attempt to summarize the reasons why Institutions In the United States are beginning to adopt old nge pension schemes I would say that they embrace such considerations as these: The pension nttnehes the employe to the service nnd thus de creases the liability to strike. It makes more certain a continuance of efficient men In the lines of work with which they are perfectly familiar. Of quite as much Importance Is the fact that-a pension system enables employers to dispense with the elderly and Ineffi cient and thus give constant encour agement to good effort on the part of younger men hoping for promotion. It operates especially as nn Incentive to hold men between the nges of 40 and HO when they have acquired the ex erlence nnd skill which makes them especially valuable and prevents their being tempted away by slightly In creased wages for a temporary period.
