NLY A MOTII;
OR, A CURIOUS MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
CHAPTER XXXVIII.—(Cont'd)
The ehildren's faces fell. It
:erred almost as if they instinctie
knew o '
- cit father. They had .always
known that, he would .. some day
come to them; but his name had
been little mentioned. It was dif-
ficult to mention it without running
the risk of the terrible questions
which as children they were so like-
ly to ask. All the gladness and
spirit seemed to have left them.
They• were both shy, and the meet-
ing with this unknown parent was
a terror to them. They clung to
Prithiof as he took them clown=
stairs, and, catching sight of Cecil
leaning back in one of the hall -
chairs, they made a rush for her,
and poured out all their childish
fears .as she clung to them and
kissed them with all the tenderness
of a real another.
"We don't want to go and see fa-
ther," said Lance, stoutly. "We
had much rather not."
"But you must think that he
wants to see you very much," said
Cecil. "He remembers you quite
well, though you have forgotten
him; and_now that he has come to
you, you must both make hint very
happy, and love
"I don't like him at all," said
Gwen, perversely.
"It is silly and wrong to say,
that," said Cecil • - ou- "mill love
e_ hi ,a; S o'u see him."
"I love you," said Gwen, with a.
vehement hug.
"Have you only room for one per-
son in your heart?"
"I rather ' love Herr Frithjof,"
said Gwen, glancing up at hixn
through her eyelashes.
They both smiled, and Cecil; see-
ing
eeing that little would be gained by
discussing the matter, got up and
led them toward the drawing -room,
her pale, brave face contrasting
curiously withGwen's rosy cheeks
and rebellious little air.
Mr. Boniface sat talking to the
new -comer kindly enough. They
both rose as Cecil and the children
entered.
"This is my daughter," said Mr.
Boniface.
And Cecil shook hands with the
ex -prisoner, and looked a little
anxiously into his face.
He 'was rather a pleasant -looking
man of five -and -thirty, .and so much
like Lance that she could not help
feeling kindly toward him. She
hoped that the children would be-
have well, and glanced at Gwen
nervously.
But Gwen, who was a born. flirt,
speedily forgot her dislike, and was
eluite willing to meet the stranger's
advances half -way. In two min-
utes' time she was contentedly sit-
ting on hisrlcnee, while Lance stood
shyly by, studying his father with
a gravity which was, however, in-
clined to be friendly and not criti-
cal. When he had quite satisfied
himself he went softly away, return-
ing before long with a toy pistol
and a boat, which he put into his
father's hands.
"What is this I" said Mr. Grant=
ley.
"It's my favorite toys," said
Lance. "I wanted to show them
you. Quick, Gwen, run and find
your doll for father,"
He seemed touched and pleased ;
and indeed they were such well-
trained children that any parent
must have been proud of them, To
this ex -convict, who for years had
been cut off from all child -life, the
mere sight of them was refreshing.
He seemed quite inclined to sit
there anti play with them for the
rest of the evening. And Cecil eat
by in a sort of dream, hearing of
the new home that was to be made
for the children in British Colum-
bia—where land was to be had for
a • penny an acre, and where one
could live on grapes and peaches,
and al] the most delicious fruits.
Then, presently, with many expres-
sions of gratitude for all that had
been done for the children, Mr.
Grantley took leave, and she; led
the little ones -up to ;bed leaving
Mr, and Mrs. Boniface to go into

"How does Cecil take it 4" askekl
Sigrid, antiously,
"Very quietly," ways the reply;
"but 1 am afraid she feels losingthem. so 500/1,"Frithiof, with an uncomfortable°
recollection of what had passed in
the garden; doubted if Mr.s. Boni-
face fully understood the depth of
Cecil's feelings. He left thein talk
ing-over the drawbacks and advan-
tages of colonial life, and went in
to his translating; but though he
forgot the actual cause, he was
conscious all the time of a :distuxb-
ing influence, and even while ab-
sorbed in his work, had an irritat-
ing sense that something had gone
wrong, ',an t that trouble was: in the
air.
He hent to bed and dreamed all.
night of Cecil. She haunted him
persistently; sometimes he sa\v her
leaning back on the garden -seat,
with the narcissus just falling from
her hand, sometimes he saw ;her
with the children clinging to her
as they had done in the hall.
From that time forward a great
change came over his attitude to-
ward her. , Hitherto his friendship
with her had, it must be owned,
been chiefly selfish. He had always
heartily liked her, had enjoyed be-
ing at Rowan Tree House, had fal-
len into the habit of discussing
many things with hor and valuing
her opinion, but it was always of
himself that he had thought—of
what she could do for him, of what
he could learn from her, or'how
much enjoyment he could get from
her music and her frank friendli-
ness, and her easy way of talking.
It was not that he was more selfish
than most men, but that 'they had
learned really to know each other
at a time when_, his heart was so
paralyzed by Blanche's' faithless-
ness, so crushed by the long series
of misfortunes, that giving had
been out of the question for him;
he could merely take and make the'
most of whatever she could give
him.
But now all this was altered. The
old wounds, though to the end of
his life they must leave a scar, were
really healed.- He had lived
through a great deal, and had lived
in a wey that had developed the
best points in his character. He
had now a growingly keen appreci-
ation for all that was really beau-
tiful—for purity, and. strength, and
tenderness, and for -that quality
which it is the fashion to call Altru-
ism, but which he with his hatred of
.affectation in words, called good-
ess,
As he thought of Cecil during
those _days hee•.began' '•Fisee more.
and more clearly the full forte of
her character. Hitherto he had
quietly takenher for granted; there
was nothingvery striking about
her, nothing in the least obstrusive.
Perhaps' if it had not been for that
strange little scene in the garden
he would never have taken the trou-
ble to think of her actual charac-
ter.
Through. the week that followed
he watched her with keen interest
and sympathy. That she should be
in trouble—at any rate, i'n trouble
that was patent to all the world—
was something entirely new. Their
positions seemed to be reversed;
and he found himself spontaneous-
Iy• doing everything he could think
of to please and help her. Her
trouble seemed to' draw Ahem to-
gether'; and to his mind there was
something -very beautiful in her pas-
sionate devotion to the children—
for it was devotion -that never in
the least bordered on sentineental-
ity. She went through everything
very naturally, having a good cry
'now and thea, but taking care not
to make the children unhappy at
the prospect o1~ the parting; .and ar-
ranging everything that they could
possibly want, notonly on ,the voy-
age, but for some time to tonne in
their new home.
"She is so plucky !" thought Fri-
thiof to himself with aa, thrill of ad-
rniration, For he was not all the
sort of man to admire helplessness,
or languor, or cowardice; they
seemed to him as unlovely in a wo-
man as in a man.
At last the actual parting came.
Cecil would have liked to go down
to the steamer and see the children
start, but on thinking it over she
decided that it would be better not,
"They will feel saying good-bye,"
she said, "and it had better be here.
Then they will have the long drive
with you to the docks, and by that
time they will be all right again,
and will be able to enjoy the steam-
er and all the novelty."
Mr. Boniface was obliged to own
that there was sound common sense
in this plan; so in their own nur-
sery, where for nearly five years
she had taken such care of them,
Cecil dressed the two »little ones
for the last time, brushed out
Gwen's, bright curls, coaxed Lance
into his reefer, and then, no longer
able to keep back her tears, clung
to them in the last terrible part-
ing.
"Oh, Cecil, dear, darling Cecil,"
sobbed Lance, "I don't want to go
away; I'don't care for the steamer
one bit."
She, was on the hearth -rug, with
both children nestled 'close to her,
the thought of the unknown world
that they were going out into, and
the difficult future awaiting them,
came sweeping over her; jest as
they were then, innocent, and un-
conscious, and happy, she could
never see them again.
"Be good, Lance," she said,
through her tears. '«."Promise me
always to "try to be good."
"I promise," said the little fel-
low, hugging her with all his might.
"And we shall come back as soon
as ever we're grown,,,up—we shall
both conte back."
"Yes, yes," said Cecil, Iryou
DMA come back."
But in her heart she knew that
however pleasant the meeting in
future years might be, -it could not
be like the present; as children, and
as her own spedial charge, she was
parting with them forever.
The carriage drove up to the
door, there •came sounds of . hurry-
ing feet and fetching and car>:'yjng
of luggage; 'C•elil took'rhein down-
stairs, • and—then, with a Fast long
embrace from Lance, and kisses in-
terspersed with sobs from Gwen,
she gave `them up totheir father and
turned to take leave of their nurse.
"I will take great Dare of them,
miss," said the maid, herself cry-
ing,. "and you shall ;hear from me
regularly!'
In another minute the carriage
had driven way, and Ceti'wasleft
to make the best she might of what
she could not but feel, at first, a
desolate' life.
CHAPTER XXXIX.
Hardly had the bustle of depar-
ture quieted down at Rowan Tree
House when a fresh anxiety arose.
Herr Sivertsen, who had for some
time been out of health, was seized.
with 'a fatal illness, and for • three
days and nights Frithjof was un-
able to leave him; on the third
night the old Norseman passed
quietly away, conscious to the last
minute, and with his latest breath
inveighing against the degeneracy
of the age.

BRITAIN'S NAVY ANDRM!.
Both are. Strong, Says First Lord
L.
of the Admiralty.
In a .recent speech ori; Dundee
'Winston Churchill, the First Lord
of the Admiralty, spoke with great
confidence of the British naval and
military forces,, He said "When
J. have an opportunity of addressing
the House of Commons in March,
1 shall be called upon to do so on,.
the naval estimates for the year.,
I ani confident I shall be able to
show that' the , navy i"s not only
strong, but is 'getting strone4er ac-
tually and relatively, and that
there is no danger whatever to the
great position we have acquired,
and which we have set ourselves to
maintain from being diminished or
undermined by the progress of time
or by the changes in naval science.
We have also to oo-operate with our`
sister servioe by land, and during
the passage of the last few years,
the Admiralty have .been working in
ever closer accord with the Wary
Once to secure the defence of these
islands from ,all possible danger or?
menace. The furtherance of Bri-`
tish policy, necessarily "wo•rld-widel
in its responsibilities, the guar.)
dianship of our empire, spread over,
the surface of the globe, require'
the joint action both of the land and
Goa foroesof the Crown:' The Army
does not play so large a part in our,
farces, offensive or defensive, as'
the navy; does not eoanpare with
-the standard of other Powers fax,
anything' like the same immense
proportion of power; but I believe
it to be perfectly true to say that
the British army, although a small
army—very small, indeed, compar-
ed to the forces of Continental nee.-
tions—yet nourishes a military
science, a ;knowledge and an origi-
nality of professional experience
which ' place its ablest officers on a
level with those even of the 'greatest
armiee on the Continent of Eu-
rope." .
