blossoms, lilac, and laburnums, some
mix or seven month afterwards.
Mr. Savllle had spent a very tran
lull winter She had rarely been free
from Irritation for so long a period.
For a week or two at Christmas she

It
If. six months before Mr. Savllle
Tnad missed her companion when she
was absent for a couple of days, the
Idea of parting with her now would
fcare struck her with dismay She bad
aoftened gradually but nntlderabl
'no gradually that Hope Desmond had
to look back, and recall her first Im
pressions to measure the change.
The weather was fine, the sky blue,
and sunshine beautified all things. It
eemed ImpoMlble not to partake of
the general exhilaration which perrad
d the atmosphere Yet Mrs. Savllle's
expression. If less hard, was Infinitely
udder than former! and. though
Hiss Desmond's eye were calm, nnd
ljer air composed, t'lere were shadows
beneath the former and a somewhat
worn look In iter exirea've face She
was thinner, too as If she bad borne
some mental strain.
It was afternoon, and the Champv
Elysees were crowded with stream. of
rqulpage pouring out to the Hols.
Stemming this current. Mrs. Sarllle
nnd Hope returned from tbelr earlier
drive, and on arriving at the hotel
found another open carriage drawn up
at the entrance, from which a gor-geousty-dressetl
lady was leaning while
she spoke to the porter He made a
gesture towards the new arrival,
thereupon the lady looked round and
displayed the well-known features of
fcllss Dacre.
! "How fortunate'' she cried "Here,
open the door, le't me out!" And she
.sprang upon the ground.
"Hy dear Mr. Savllle. I only Just
Heard by the merest accident that you
were In Paris We have been at Pan
for two months, and are on our way
home."
"Oh, Indeed." returned Mrs. Savllle.

by her young friend. "I ant sorry for

"Quite fast enough fur me; but eome

"She Is as cross as ever." whispered

room, which was sseet with (loner
and flooded with soft light, the strong
aunsblne filtering through the outer
Winds.
"Well, dear Mrs. Savllle. and how
are you after burying ourelf alive In
Germany all the winter? It Is such a
queer place to go to,"
"I like Germany, and I am remark'
ably -ell"
"Well, you don't bale so. We had a
Wild time at Herondyke. I was there
for nearly a month Lady Olivia Is
quite too good-natured Then she and
the girls rame over to Castleton, but
your son eniuaded George Lumley to
CO with him to Dresden. A great mis
take! Captain Lumley was quite cross
hen he returnedsaid It was a Ood
forgotten hole! I met Mr VlgnoJIe
at Pau" etc.. etc. And Miss Dacre
turned on a rapid flow of gossip. As
aoou air she made a pause for breath.
Mrs. Savllle said, wearily:
"MIm Desmond, the tea Is ready.
Gle me a eup"
Uy all means. The Parisian hare
Improved Immensely, but they have
not arrlvetl at the height of good af

Silence on .the part of Mrs. Saxllle.
while Miss Dacre sipped her tea
"When do you come back to Lon
don. .Mrs, Savllle?"
"Kot this year I may go to Ingle
field In the autumn "
"I aupnoe you know Richard Is
bringing out a work on The Romans
In Lincolnshire.' Illustrated, with
notes and appendixes? It will cost a
small fortune, they say.'
"They say ? Who say?"
"Ob. the literary world. I am think
ing of publishing extracts from the
Archives of Castleton Forest. There
are Iota of old deeds and letters In the
muntment-room especially about the
Long Parliament times. One must
really write something now"
"Indeed Can't you compile a time

"Dear Mrs. Savllle. what an Idea!

saM Ititpe smiling.
"Xow. do not be disagreeable I
want oa to come with me"
Hope did not answer and It was ar
ranged that Miss Dacre should call for
her favorite confidante that ermine
en route for the theater.
"I have a hundred and one tb'.ngj
to say lo you." mhlspered Mis Dacre
when Hope Desmond escorted her to
the stair after she had taken lea of
Mrs. Savllle. "The same mysterious
fate still dogs me. I do not know what
spell binds George Lumley to silence.
Poor fellow! I am so forty for hint!
I rather Imagined he thought I was
going to Dresden last wlnter-r-hraven

at 7:30, will you not?"
"Yes. certainly."
CHAPTER XIII.
When Hope returned to Mrs. Sa
vllle she found that lady's maid re
moving her out-door garb and arrang
ing her mistress on the sofa as If for
a siesta.
"I would have saved ou from this
Infliction If I could." she said, pres
ently, when Hope thought she was go
ing to sleep. "Mary Dacre was always
roh: she Is now absolutely Idiotic.
1 am not surprised that Hugh had no
patience with her. Hugh was always
Instinctive. He Is like me In many
things."
Hope listened with nervous atten
tion, growing alternately red and
hlte. Never before had Mrs. Savllle
named her offending son. and Hope
feared to utter a word that might of
fend or divert the current of her
thoughts
"I mil always doomed to dlappolnt
ment." she went on. as If speaking out
her thought 'There Is Richard: he
will be a dilettante and a nobody all
the days of his life I never wasted
any anticipations on him Rut Hugh
might be anything a statesman, a
leader of men. I would have done
anything to push bis fortunes. All
my hopes, all my ambitions, centered
In him: and you know you must have
heard how he repaid me."
"Yes. I have heard," returned Hope,
In such tremulous accents that Mrs.
Savllle looked up, as If surprised and
touched by her keen sympathy, "It
eems very cruel."
"Seems! It Is. To be forgotten,
thrown over, for the sake of a pretty
face, a whim of passion, after years
of devotion! It I Intolerable; It Is
not to be forgiven An unsuitable
wife Is a millstone round a man's neck
that will drag him to perdition; but
I leave her punishment to him. He
will tire of her. and he wl)l curse the
day lie eer saw her, and sacrificed
his mother and his career everything
to a passing fancy."
"It was a terrible mistake, a "
She stopped suddenly.
"Are you HIT You look wblta in

to attention by the sudden ceMtlea ot
bsr voice.
"Only a Itttto giddy nnd dated; the
sun was so strong to-day," returned
Hope, steadying her voice by i strong
effort. "I felt faint when we were
driving round the lake. Hut dear
Mrs. Savllle, may I say that greater
blame attaches to the girl who allowed
your son to sacrifice himself for her.

pressed her hand on her bosom,
"Oh. yes. It was wrong terribly
wrong," cried Hope, and there was a
sound of tears In her voire, "but you
know your son's nature Rightly or

heart and she was singularly desolate,
friendless, penniless. How could he
desert her being the man he Is? how
could he help her effectually save a

The calendar year l'Ju3 will show n
smaller exportation of wheat than any
year In the last deeade, and an In
creuted home consumption, both In
amount and per capita average, says
a reiiort ot the Rureau of Statistics on
wheat production, exportation and con
sumption of the United State
The continued decline In exports' of
breadstuff lend Interest to the slato
ment. The exportation of wheat for
the nine months ending with Septem
ber amounted fo only 27,768,001 bush
els, against C8,178,9SC bushels In the
same month of 1908; flour exports were
6,288,283 barrels, against ,i28.3t7.
This reduction In exports of wheat
seems to be due to Increased consump
tion at home rather than at any de
cline In production. The average an
nual production, for the last five years
has exceeded any earlier five-year
period,
