nuSdently familiar to ask if Mis
Deamond would be so good as to aa-ilst
blm In his work, wheaerer his mother
could spare her.
i """I will do so with "pleasure, Mr. S
flte," she returned. In her frank, fear
'leas way. "But you mast ask your
Bother's permission, and before me.
She Is a person not to be trlSedwlth."
-I know that." he said, hastily, "and
I will do so on the first opportunity"
"Which he did. In a nervous, hesitating
' way. t
"Who care for-Saxon phrase?" re
plied Mrs. Sarllle. contemptuously
"Miss Desmond would be more useful-
ly employed making flannel petticoats
for my poor old women. Howerer, If
aha chooses to bestow some of her

of such a dust-heap, I am sure she has
my consent,"
Hope Desmond's time was pretty
well occupied, for she bad come to be
-- svecretary as well as companion to her
active employer, still, she gave Rich
ard Bavll!fwbat parings of time she
could, aad. If occasionally bored, was
.aot a little amused at the profound Im
portance be attached to his work.
Dut Richard Savltle's presence en
tailed other changes, Captain Lumley
found It salted hlxa to ride over rery
often to luncheon, aad sometimes to
dinner, staying the night, almost with
out a distinct Invitation from the bos
teas, who seemed to think two such
fledglings beneath her notice, Toung
Lumley did bis best to attract Hope's
notice, and flattered himself that she
smiled upon him.
"Bo yon bare really managed to sur
vivebow JongT five weeka under my
aunt's Jurisdiction?" be said, having
. discovered Hope with a book In her
band In one of the shady nooks of the
garden one day after luncheon.
"I'have, and without any difficulty,"
be returned, making room for blm on
the seat beside her as she greeted blm
with a kjndly smile. He readily ac
cepted the place, thinking be had al
ready made an Impression. "Mrs. Se
ville has been ytry nice and pleasant.
If she were not I would not stay."
"Pleasant! Come, that's a little too
saucb. Bbe is an uncommon bright
woman, I know, but It's in the flaab-of-lightning
style, and lightning some
time kills, you know,"
"Well, she hasn't killed em."
"No, I fancy you take a great deal
ef killing. Perhaps that's because you
are so killing yourself."
"Ofe, Captain Lumley! that. Is a style
et emplteeat yo4 sight o'er to a

what are you haasarr said Hope,
teaching good -bBBseredir.
"Ton have takea a leaf oat et Mr.
Savtll s book." cried Loraley. while he
thought. "What teeth she has regular
pearls'" "If you are as hard e me
as she Is." he eo tinned, aloud. "I shall
not be able to Mve here."
"I suppooe you are not ootlged to
suyr
"Welt, no; but I do not like to go
away"
"Then you mast strike a balance."
said Hope, aad roe up as If to return
to the nous.
"What! Are you gelag tat It la

"OX ye. If you Mke."
"So rou are colag to help my cons

"I really do cot know what Its aame

will do some writing for hla."
"Richard has more sense that I
thought."
"At all evrats he Is desperately la
earnest, aad that Is always repet
aMe" "Kxaotly; that is Jus what he Is.
Mlas Dacre (m coming to dinner, aad
the vicar and vlearesa."
"Oa. Indeed!" said Hope.
"MUs Dacre Is rather pretty fer aa
helret. and rather a Jolly girl Yeuli
like her"
"Yery probable, were I to meet her.
Lbut I shall net dine with you."
"No? What a shame!"
"1 do not see that It Is. It weald
give me no particular pleasure to Join
your company, aad I shall have that
precious time to myself.
"WeH the dinner will be all the dull
er. My aunt will be aa black as thun
der. You know she wanted to marry
Hash, her second son. to Mary Dacre.
Yoa never met Hugh?"
"Why. I am not yet two months In
Mra. Savtlle's service."
"What a rery unraralahed way of
putting It!" said Lumley, laughing.
"I nerer object to the truth." re
turned Miss Desmond. "Why should
I not srre Mrs. Savllle for the time
belngT
"I am sure I don't kaow. Well.
Hugh is a capital fellow, but awfully
headstrong: so, after he was sent
ashore last time, he weat wandering
about the Continent, aad fell In love
with a charming glr", or a girl be
thought charming, without asking
leave. Rather Imprudent, eh?"
"It was more." said Hope, looking
dreamily far away "It was wrong. A
good mother has a right to be consult
ed." "Perhaps so: but If a fellow Is very
much In love be Is apt to forgK these
things. Anyhow, Hugh has been
chivied away from the maternal roof.
It seems my uacle Lord Evertoa la
trod need Hugh to the fair oae aad her
father, so be baa bees tabooed, too;
but be Is a remarkably plucky old boy.
so be came down here to plead Hugh's
cause, and caught It pretty hard, I
fancy "
"Yes, I saw blm, and I imagine ht
bad a trying time of It. Pray do you
I mean your special family talk of
each other to erery one In this candid
fashion?"
"I do; and why should I not? I say
nothing that every one doesn't know
and talk about"
"Poor Lord Everton!" said Hope,
with a laugh, as Jf she enjoyed the
recollection. "He did look aa If he
were being led to execution when be
was leaving the room."
"Oh, be did, did be? He's so end of
fun."
"I can imagine be la. Good morn
lag. Captain Lumley."
"Must you go?" '
"I mast I do not know whether
Mrs. SavlH may want me, and I bare
no business to wander about the
grounds with you."
"Perhaps you may be at dinner,
after all."
"It Is not probable. If Lord Everton
were to bo of the party I might wish
to intrude myself. As It Is good-bj
for the present"
With a pleasant nod and smile. Mis
Desmond turned into a path which led
directly to the bouse, and left the gal
lant hussar lamenting.
"She Is handsomer than I thought,"
be meed. "What eyes! and such a
smile! Bbe has rather taken to ms, I

"She Is a strong woman, but there is

"Yes, aad I fancy one must be pretty

Dacre, and she gave a knowing little
nod to ber companlou. "Then she is
so awfully put out about Hugh, You
came after he bad gone."
Hope bent her bead as aa affirma

so different from Richard though I
like Richard, too; but Hugh bad a sort
of rough good breeding, If you can un
derstand such a thing; be was so gen
erous and bright and natural, I knew
both the brothers since I was quit a

Savllle. To think of bis having mar

Horrible." echoed Hope. "I trust
she Is conscious of all he has sacrificed
for her."
"Not she." returned Miss Dacre with
decision. "These sort of people haven't
an Idea what family and position, and
all that mean. Do you think Mrs. Sa
vllle would mind If 1 plucked some of

"I am sure she would not; but you
