Aunt Amelia actually kid shed team and Lady Rookwell kept her grin scarcely euppreesed. But there wars a sudden thrill of expectation when Hector, Lord Delamere, rose to return thanks for the health of the bride, pro-. pceed by the duke, Tall and distinguisbed- with his handsome. face so full- of happiness thitt tile haggard, lines seem to have disappeared and lett hini ten years younger; with hi( broad blue ribbo:t across his white waistcoat ---he looked 4 worthy successor to tate long Dee of ancestors who had made the name of Delamere famous in the annals their country.

As for Signe. she sits half amazed and bewildered by the occasion: it is all so wonderful that she can scarcely realize that he who stands beside her is her hisband, and that the solemn words at reverent deeoted love are her tribute. Et is an awkward moment, but for- tunately Archie steps in te the rescue. "Aren't you going to cut the cake, Signe?" he says, abruptly, and with a took that tells how hard it has been to keep the question back.
