"And I'm sure If don't know what
I should do 'without you if you did
get married, ," said Mrs. Boniface,
driving back the tears which had
started to her eyes, "so X don't
know why I atm so anxious that it
should cornu about, except that 1.
shoiild so like to see you happy."'.
"And so 1 aro happy, perfectly
happy," said Cecil, and as she spoke
she suddenly bent forward and
kissed her mother. "A girl would
have to be very wicked not to be
happy with you, and father and Roy
to live with,"
Mrs. Boniface was -a Devonshire
woinau, and, notwithstanding her
five -and -twenty years of London
life, she still preserved something
of her western accent and intona-
tion;

daughters in the days of her youth,
but she was well aware that it did
not come up to modern require-
ments, and had taken good care'
that Cecil should be brought up'
very differently.
The opportunity for suggesting,
Cecil's plan to Mr. Boniface came,
soon after they reached home.
Cecil was in the drawing -room,
playing one of Chopin's Ballades,
when her father came into the room.
He stood by the fire till she had
finished, watching her thoughtful-
ly. He was an elderly man, tall
and spare, with a. small, shapely
faeact, ' white hair and trim;
beaid. His gray eyes were
and kindly, like his son's, and the
face was a good as well as refined
face,:

every one should see from one point

sun, and that is the great thing."
"Yes, yes; I have seen those chil-
dren in all aspects, and they are ra-
ther spoiled.. But I can't bear to
think that they will be sent to some
great institution, with no one to
care for them properly "
"Then you are willing to under-
take your share of the bargain?"'
"Quite.",
"Very well, then that is settled.
Let us come across and see if any
one has stepped in before us,"
Cecil, in great excitement, dew
upstairs to tell her mother, and re-
appeared ill a minute or two in her
hat and, jacket,, Then the father
and daughter cressed the quiet su-
burban road to the opposite house,
where such a different life -story had
been. Lived. The door was opened
to thein by the nurse; she had evi-
dently been crying, .and -even as
they entered the passage they seem-
ed conscious of the desolation of
the whole atmosphere.
"Oh, miss, have you heard' the
verdiett" said the servant, who
knew Cecil slightly, and was eager
for sympathy. "And what's to he -
tome of my little ones no one seems
to know."
"That is just what we came to in-
quire about," said 'Mfr. Boniface,
"We heard there were no relations
to take barge of them. Is that
true I"
"There's not a creature in the
world to care for them, sir," said
the nurse. "'There's the lawyer
looldng through master's papers

out of this by next week; and that

"If Mr. Grantley's eolieitor is j

in some respects the two were alike.
They were still talking about the
matter when Mr. Boniface rejoined
them, the lawyer also came in, and,
to the nurse's surprise, even looked
at the sleeping children, "Quite hu-
manlike,” as she remarked after-
ward to the cook.
"Don't you distress nrself
about the children," he sa, , kind-
ly. "It will be all right for thein.
We shall know definitely about ;t
to -morrow, but this gentleman has
very generously offered to take care
of them."
The nurse's tearful gratitude was
interrupted by a sound from one of
the cribs. Lance, disturbed per-
haps by the voices, was talking in
his sleep,'
"Gee -up !" he shouted in exact
imitation of a carter, as he waved
the toy horse in the air.
Mr. Boniface ' and Cecil, after a
with parting words w th the happy
servant, recrossed the road to Ro-
wan Tree House.
"Oh, father, it is so very good of
you," said Cecil, slipping her arm.
into his; "1 haven's been so happy
for an age!"
"And :1 am happy," he replied,
"that it such a thing az this which
pleases my daughter."
After that there followed a de-
lightful evening of anticipation,
and 'Mrs. Boniface entered into the
plan with her whole heart and talk-
ed of nursery furniture put away in
the loft, and arranged the new nur-.
sery in imagination fifty timesover
-always with improvements.
"I believe," said the gentle old
lady, laughing, "that it was due to
that old nurse olmine that never
could bear theological arguments.
She began them when we were so
young that we took a fatal dislike
to them. 1 can well remember, as
a little thing of four years old, sit-
ting on the punishment chair in the
nursery when all the others were
out at play, and wishing that Adam
and Eve hadn't sinned."
"You all sound very merry," said
Roy, opening the door before the
laugh which greeted this story had
died away. _.
"Why, how nice _ and early you
are, Roy ! exclaimed Cecil, "Oh !
mother has been telling us no end
of stories you ought to have been
here to listen to them. And, Roy,
we are most likely going to have
those little children over the way
to live with us till , their father - is
out of prison again."
Roy seemed grave and preoceu
pied, - but Cecil was too happy to
notice that; and chattered on eon-
tentedly.
"You are tired to -night, Roy,"
she said, when Cecil's story had
conie to an end.'
'Just a little," -he owned. "Steh
a curious thing happened to me-. It
was a good thing you caught sight
of me at Hyde Park Corner and
stopped to •ask about the trial, Ce-
cil for otherwise it would never
have come about. Who do you think
I met just as you drove on 2"
"I can't guess," said Cecil, ris-
ing from her place on the hearth -
rug as the gong sounded for sup-
per,
`‘'One of our Norwegianfriends,''
said Roy, "Frithiof Flack."
"What ! is he actually in Eng-
land ?" said Cecil.
"Yes, poor fellow !" said Roy.
Something in his tone made Ce-
cil's heartebeat quickly. •
"Why do you say poor fellow?"
she asked. "Oh, Roy ! what is the
matter 9—what—what has happen-
ed to him?"
CHAPTER VIII.
"The house seems quiet without
Frithiof," remarked Herr Falek on
the' Monday after his son's depar-
ture.
Frithiof at that very moment was
walking through the streets'of 'Hall,
feeling lonely and desolate enough.
The dining -room looked very
pleasant on that October morning.
Sigrid was looking forward .eager-
ly to his return, and was so much
cheered by the improvement in her
father's health and spirits that she
felt more at rest than she had done
for some time. - Little Swanhild
knew quite well that the general
expectation was that Frithiof would
be betrothed to her ideal. As for
Herr Flack he looked eager and
Hopeful, and it 'seemed as if some
cloud of are had been lifted off
him. . He talked, more than he had
done of late, teased Swanhild mer-
rily about her lessons, and kept
both girls ,laughing and :chattering
at the table till Swanhild had to
run off in a hurry, declaring that
she should be late for school.
"You should not tell such, funny
stories in the morning, ' little 'fa-
1laughingly.

"Ah, but to laugh is so good for w.
the digestion;" said Herr I{alc?t
"You will read Eiglisli all, the 'bet-
ter in conseouence. See if you
