CHAPTER XXXVII. Continued). ally true, Lady Ferndale, though scarce
ly substantially so, eh?
Lady Ferndale smiled at this.
"What will he do nett?
"Come . here," he replied, promptly.
"i:•Ie will naturally conclude that she has
taken refuge with you, and. will, I fear,
come on here and demand to see her."
•1 shall be quite prepared for him;"
sok. Lady Ferndale. "You .think I am
able to protect the dear girl, even from,
such tt clever scoundrel as Mr. Guild-
-ford Berton, Mr, Petherick?
"I think you are capable of protecting
her from the whole world, my dear lady,
he responded, looking at the resolute
little face; "and that being so, I'll take
my leave, only assuring you that if I
can be of the slightest service to • dear
Miss Norah or Mr. Cyril Burno or your-
self, you may command me," and he
made bis, .old-fashioned bots. '
"And `you haven't found the young
earl, Mr. Petherick?" she said,. demurely.
The old man almost groaned, and
uttered an exclamation of annoyance.
"My dear countess," he saki, "the
mere mention of that young man Is-er
-er-distressing to me. And when 1

hi -s lap, in addition to the title and the
estates, and that he obstinately refuses
to declare himself, I feel -well, I don't
think I can attempt to express my 'senti-
ments. I only know this: That, not-
withstanding Lady Norah's relinquish-
ment of the money which the earl left to.
her, thinking her to be his daughter, I
mean io make some sort of terms with
the young earl, and if he doesn't act
generously and liberally -well, I shall
make bold to show fight, despite Lady
Norah's instructions. There are times
when a lawyer must consider his client's
Interests, even though he disregard that
client's wishes."
Lady Ferndale still sat and waited,
and presently the footman announced
Mr. Guildford Berton.
The light fell full upon his face as he
entered, and though Lady Ferndale had
been somewhat prepared for the change
in his appearance, she could scarcely
suppress .a start. He was ordinarily
pale, but the whiteness of his face that
morning- Was ghastly in its density;
there were dark hollows under his eyes,
and his mouth had the drawn appear-
ance of a man who has spent long hours
of sleeplessness. and ;harrassment • But
he singled with the old smite as.he made
his bow and took the seat to which Lady
Ferndale motioned him.
He had gone to the Court on the pre-
ceding evening, and had got Norah's
note, and it had deceived him, es she
had intended, until later on, when, as.
he sat in his gloomy room haunted by
the ghost of Becca, the truth flashed
upon him. He seized his hat and dashel
to. the Court, saw Harman, and learned
that Norah had fled -she had escaped
him!
It was too late to start in pursuit that
night; he spent the hours pacing the
silent room, tearing at his nails and
watching the' clock, and had caught the
early train and gone straight to Mr.
Petherick, and failing to get anything
out of the cautious old lawyer, had come
on to Lady Ferndale's, knowing that it
would be to her that Norah would natur-
ally think of hying for refuge.
He had expected to be informed that
Lady Ferndale declined to sec him, and
was surprised' at beingadmitted, and
still more surprised at her apparently
friendly reception of him, but he took
care that his astonishment should not,.be
visible in hid countenance.
"Of course, you know why 1• have
come, Lady Ferndale?" he 'said, still
smiling, his eyes downcast. "Lady:
Norah has been Here?" -
"Oh, yes,"-she'said, blandly.
She saw him covertly draw a breath of
relief, an& listen intently for the sound
of Norieh'svoice or. footstep.
"I am so•'glad!" he said. "Alii has she
told you why -why she so suddenly left
Then Lady Ferndale sat herself down
An • the drawing -room and waited for
something she expected,
Half an hour afterward Mr. Petherick
was announced. He was not the visitor
-she had been expecting,. but she was et
3zoni:e to film, and the old lawyer, in a
state of suppressed excitement, began at
,once on the all -engrossing topic.
"Lady Norali-I mean Miss Norah," he
•sc<d, "of course she has fold you what
:has occurred, Lady • Ferndale?" he• sold:
'"You know everything?"
"Yes,".• she responded, adding, men-

•
•which ',Mr. Petherick was yet ignorant
,of, "and more than you know." • • -
"T-er--I'ni glad to be able to discuss
.the matter with you without reserve,"
(he went on. "Of course you know that
:she Is engaged to Mr., Burne?"
"And that they are to be married im-
.mediately," said Lady Ferndale
"Yes, yes. Dear mel" he said. "Well,
I can't say I disapprove Of course, I've
:no voice in the matter, no right to ex-
tpress an opinion; the young lady is no
longer the Iate earl's daughter, and-
.they are to be 'married immediately?"
"It is to be kept a profound secret; I
.mean really a secret, not an open one
•which every one may know."
"Yes, yes," he nodded; "and 1-er--
•think it is es well. I've a high opinion
•of Mr. Bur:ie, and I've been making
.some inquiries.. Of course, if she had
,k4 been Lady NoPah still he would not be

"As she is absolutely penniless, poor

tYes, yes,.I understand, and I hope-

• "You are right, and -ahem -I must

"Oh, I do !rope you didn't tell him," she
exclaimed, with dismay -

But Jack, who appeared' to find a sin-

affair, hit upon a plan for disposing of
the old lawyer, and two days before that
fixed for the wedding had persuaded him
to go down to Santleigh.
"It seems to me, sir," he said, gravely,
"that the place ought not, to bo left en-
tirely to the caro -of servants. Suppos-
ing the young earl were to turn up there
suddenly.. Some one ought to be there
to receive him; besides, you can't tell
what may be going on there, or what
mischief that very nice young man, Mr.
Guildford Berton, may be up to."
"Good gracious me, yesl" said Mr.
Petherick; "but -but I wanted to be at

"Yes, no doubt, but Miss Norah has

know,' that I fancy she would rather miss

And after a little more persuasion the
old .gentleman'came and explained mat-
ters to Norah, presented her with a re-
markably handsome • bracelet, and
started for Santleigh.
"We mustn't- disappoint hien, Cyril,"
said Jack, with a smile, as they watched
the train off. "Suppose you write him a
line as from the earl, you know, request-
ing him to kindly remain at Santleigh
until you return.'"
Cyril caught at the idea at once, and
nnthing could describe Mr. Petherick's
astonishment when, on the morning
after his arrival, ho received . the follow-

he was on MS head or his heels, and
spent the time whichwas not passed In
the company of his bride -elect wanting
round, and round Regent street and Boni
street buying presents for her and Lady
Ferndale. '
"I don't like to make the really too
dreadful remark `Happy is the bride the

they stood at'.'ihe window " tugging on
their lavender gloves, and waiting for
the handsom which was to convey them
to St. Cuthbert's, "but I must say I'm
very glad the sun does shine. A wedding
is only one degree less mournful. than a
funeral at the beat of times, and if it had
rained to -day I should have been re-
duced to tears. As it is, the spectacle of

havoc with my own nervous system,
and, much as I love you both, I shall
not be at all sorry when you drive off

Cyril laughed nervously as he flung the,

they are about to be married," he said.

How Its Appearance Became . Familiar
'to the Public.
The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America- 1,e -
came known to the people is rather in-
teresting.
As the story goes, the possessor of the
hand was with some friends -in a pho-
tographer's one day - and while talking,
held but a piece of candy. .The pose '1f
the hand with its perfect contour. and
feultless shape attracted the attention of
the artist who proposed.to photograph
it. The result was a beautiful picture
kept in the family until one day, after
reading a letter [rem someone Inquir-
ing as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape -Nuts advertisements, Mr. Post
said to his wife, "We -receive so many
inquiries _ of this kind, that it is evident
some people are curious to know, sup-
pose we let the advertising department
have that picture `of your hand to print
and name it 'A hielpirtg Hand: " (Mrs.
Post has assisted him in preparation of
some 'of the most famous advertise-
ments).
There was a natural shrinking from.
the publicity, but"with an agreement
that no name would, accompany the
picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light of
iixtending a welcoming hand to tile
friends of Postum and Grape -Nuts, so the
picture appeared on the back covers of
many of the January and February
magazines and became known to mil-
lions of people.
Many ,artists have commented, upon it
as probably the most perfect hand in the
world.
