In from a short stroll with her conn

ed from her own room. wire she hsd
enjoyed a couple of hours' solitude.
' Thrs tonnds were followed by the ap-
' pesratic ot Miss Caere, Savllle. Lum-
ley and Lord Evertoa.
-So sorry you wers not able to come
to church this morning, dear Mrs. S.v
vlllI" said Miss Dacre, cffutlveiy, and
with the unconcerned assurance of the
ehm which does not hesitate to rush
. In where the sharper-sighted fear to
r tread; "so we hare all come over to
Inquire for you. You are looking quite
' pale. You see I have brought poor
1 Lord Ererton, who Is so distressed at
being expelled from this, paradise.
You really mutt make friends. He
could not foresee that things would go
i wrong, and he Is so sorry. Now, .for
"' ray sake, dear Mrs. Savllle, yon must
forgive htm, you sre such near rela
tions." j, "Connections, you nun," corrected
i Mrs. SaTllle, a bitter smile curling bei
L lln. "It Lord Ererton chooses to come.
,i i can only admire bis rorgiTing nature
and accept the olive-branch."
'"You are, as ever. Just and gener
ous," returned the -Impecunious peer,
with a delightful bow and smile. "I
am quite charmed with the vision of
myself as a dove, which you kindly
suggest."
Mrs. Savllle turned from htm with
undisguised contempt, and addressed
herself to George Lumley.
"80 you are staying at the Court?
How does your regiment, or - your
troop, get on without your valuable as
sistance r
"Disagreeable old cat!" thought
Lumley, while he said, "Ob, I ride over
very other day. and the Intermediate
ones they stumble on as best they can
without me."
"I thought you were going dawn to
llerondyket"
"Here's metal more attractive." said
Lumley. melodramatically, with a wave
of his band towards Miss Dacre. who
was deep In conversation with Mr.
Rawson, on whom she was smiling
with her habitual belief In her own
power to fascinate all male creatures.
''Metal! Yes, I dare say. I some
times wonder If you are as foollth ni
you teein, George."
"Ob, a good deal more so," said the
handsome hussar, showing his white
teeth In a pleasant smile. "You know
I haven't many Ideas."
"Yet I dare say you would be less
easily taken In than men who have,"
scornfully,
"Very probably, my dear aunt."
-What Is the matter with youT"
'asked Miss Dacre, In a low tone, draw
Ing a chair to the tea-table, wbere
Ifope Desmond presided. "You look
pale and 111, and aa It you bad been
crying. Pray forgive roe," she added,
seeing the quick color rise In her vic
tim's cheek, "but I knew quite well you
could not stand Mrs. Savllle for long,'
In a low tone,
"Ob, yes, I can," said Hope, smiling
a brave defiance. "Don't you think I
am likely to have worries and bad
news apart from poor Mr. Savlller
"Well, I suppose so; but It did not
occur to me. She Is not popular, you
know, though I always get on with
her. I am going to play a bold stroke
Just now; It will astonish you all.
'Nothing venture nothing have,' you
know."
'"Jockey of Norfolk, be not too
bold,'" quoted Miss Desmond, with a
somewhat tremulous smile.
"She has been crying I am certain
he has; though she is braving It out.
At any rate, she Is going to stick to
Mrs. Savllle. I wonder what she Is
saying to George Lumley. Nothing
amiable, I am sure,"
Here Lord Everton, who had been
sneaking to Savllle. and of whom the
aatetreM of the bouse bad not taken I
tA
the slightest notice, approached and
begged for a cup of tea.
"It Is a beverage of which I am ex
tremely fond." he said, "and I think a
decided liking for tea ought to be a
patent ot respectability to any man.
You have been a good deal on the Con
tinent. I believe. Miss Desmond!"
"i have traveled occasionally In my
aunt's lifetime."
"Ahl and enjoyed It. 1 dare sayt"
"Yes; but I also enjoy returning to
England."
"Indeed! Well. 1 do not. The mo
ment I set toot on my native soil, I
cease to be a free man; Invisible detec
tives put me In social Irons: cruel
warders Imprison me with adamantine
barriers, where I am obliged to eat
and drink and speak and have my be
ing according to rigid rules. I mutt
give my money for what satlsQsth
not, and go to the funereal hotttlrle
frequented by my peers. I mutt don
evening dress, and wear unlimited pur
pie and fine linen. Then my exasperat
ing relatives will pester me with Invi
tations, tocaut they think they mutt
not neglect 'that poor old beggar Ev

Channel my only habitation Is an airy
bedroom, outside which a whole world

wonderful the clearness of Judgment
and general enlightenment of those
who are not weighed down by this
world's goods."
"I dare say you are right. Lord Er
erton. Still, a few of them are advan
tageous; though I do not see that
money can purchase any essential of
life."
"That depends very much on what
you consider essentials."
"That Is true Dut Miss Dacre
Is going to make a speech," for that
young lady had said. In An audible
tone. "I am going to tell you a story.'
"1 know," whispered Lord Everton,
"If her pockets had alwaya been emp
ty, ahe would have known better bow
to hold her tongue." ,
"This story came to me In a letter
from the wife of a cousin of mine
whose cousin was eye-witness ot the
adventure," Miss Dacre was saying, at
she posed herself on an ottoman and
every one turned towards her. "Scene

"Most dramatic," said Lord Everton.
"Worthy of Drandram," added
George Lumley.
"I don't exactly see " began
Richard Savllle.
"No, ot course you do not; there la
nothing to see exactly," Interrupted
Miss Dacre, quickly.
"I have heard the tale before. The
only difference Is that the weather was
not quite so stormy as your correspond
ent represents it," said Mr. Rawson,
playing with his double glasses.
"It was really mum worse than I
represent," exclaimed Miss Dacre,
with an air of profound conviction.
"Now, does no one want the name ol

There was a moment's pause. Mrs.
Savllle sat silent In her armchair.
