had some very unpleasant news. My old friend, Count Kestler, writes tome here, saying that his son Ccnrad has just re turned i.-a his American tour aud is very anxious for some shooting.

Why, don’t you see as clearly as possible that this means a husband for one of your daughters?” “Hold, there, ” said the baron gruffly, flushing dark red from vexation. “If ever 1 believed that any woman could keep her fingers out of tho matchmak ing pie, I took you to be that woman, Miss Wilkins, but I do believe you’re made of the same stuff as the others.

In fact, his one vocation in life seems to be to go about turning heads and break ing hearts, and this is the man who for 10 days is to dwell under the same roof with my gills. Upon my word, it’s letting the wolf into the sheepfold. ” “Very possibly tho wolf is not so black as he is painted,” Miss Wilkins cautiously suggested. “He is blacker, at any rate, far than ho ought to be, and it will require both your vigilance and mine to checkmate tho empty headed lovemaking with which ho is sure to pass his time. I have been turning over the matter in my mind and have come to tho conclusion that during these 10 critical days you must be the constant companion of my two elder girls. It is tho only possibil ity of averting the danger that threat ens. ” “And Elsbeth?” “Let the child liavo a holiday. It will do her no harm to shut up her books and run wild for 10 days. ” Miss Wilkins shook her head, but so entirely were the baron’s thoughts taken up with his elder girls that he never even noticed the disapproving gesture, Elsbeth was a child, still safe in the schoolroom. The day when she took to long skirts would be time enough to be gin worrying about her.
