CHAPTIiR XII. (('uwtinviod)
A YTarrar,
to a few moments Gerald was laid up-
on a hod in the room that had been hie
pen when he was a bel. It was tea the
ground floor ; one of the moats in the
west wing, but separated from the cor-
ridor by • guvd-stwd Bute -room. Hero

"He is awing ; W is here." said Bea -

of aslief. Then, ins low to to her
euesin, "You may trust him, I am sure.
I will blare you now. Mr. Lockhart,
may I show you the way to more co.t-
ftntable gsart.rs 1"
Mr. Lskhart bowed gravely. He
r.rvelled at her ..U-pusesstou.
"We are math obliged to Mr. Lesk-
IINNI int his assistance," Bald Lord . Mor -
wee SS.rteously.
And thee the doctor entered and Mise
ifeailnont signed imperatively to An-
thony to follow her from the room.
The wilt pennies left behind beside the
patient were Lord Moreton, Dr. Airlie,
sod Martin, ea old and trusted ear-
va.t.
Loekbtart iasessred the doctor with
nee of hi. 'harped 'levities es the two
wet in the doorway. A flash of recog-
nition peeled ever the tease of both mea,
bet it vanished as quickly as it had eons*
and left no trees behind. Lockhart
looked • little mere than usually forbid-
ding ; the doctor glanced at him with e
smile of simple and childlike geniality,
as if his heart wen en full cf the silk .f
human kindness that he most needs die-
t pews 1t to all comer'.
Nevertheless, if anything mold be
gathered fr.m the of Look -

"Yee knew Dr. Airlie," she said, with
tie accent of conviction, not of tnterrog-
atieo.
For the tenth part of a minute An-
thosy hesitated. Theo ke answered with
his deliberation,

• "Perrctiy. " He hesitated, still with
his .yrs upon the ground. "I newt hard•
1y say," he added at last, with an abrupt-
ness which sounded almost harsh, and
took away (row the somewhat ouuciiatory
n ature of his words, "that I ask for no
oil my own account. It is
only fur Bertin'. sake."
"Oh, yes," she answered, with a curl
of her lip, "of course I know that. Only
for Bertie's sake."
He turned W go. She leaned back in
hey chair and begsn drawing off the long
tan g'oom which she had not yet remov-

her feet. He glauoed st it as Le placed
hie hand upon the dour, but she din not
Turn her eyes upon him. She was tired
of his presence, she wished only that he
would go.
Antaw►y suddenly felt ooactoua of all
the disadvantages of which he had once

his akwardnos, his ignorance cf women's
ways, casco with • rush into hie miud and
arrested his steps. In the last hour or
two be had almost forgotten that Beatrice
£s.iltnont was • woman ; she had shown
herself strong, brave, golf -reliant ; she
was a woman who oosld be .o thoroughly

old scruples at dealing with the feminine
element, r,f which he professed to be pro
foetidly ign. rant. But fist! as she sat
silently in the greet armchair by the
table, smoothing out her lung gloves on
het knee, and spewing her weariness to
swear in languid posture and hall • cluued
eyes, be knew that o. -had be.D rude and
harsh. H. longed for a moment to make
some apology, to set himself aright in her
estimation and prove to her that he
would gladly ooteede.11 that she might
wash, were it not against Bertie's inter-
ests that he should du so. But he did
not know how to frame an apology in
fitting words, and while he hesitated,
Beatrice looked op and spoke again.
