"Andwhat do you mean to do with

Sooner or later -I knew It would come,:
that inevitable question, wherever
Lilith Saxon's name cropped un, and l
:was only waiting for Nicholas Wray to
ask lt. £
The child had gone away at'last, in
Wrenshaw's care, 'after startling me,
scandalizing him, and hugely amusing
Wray, by bestowing a frantic hug up-
on me as a parting salutation.:.We had
drawn out- chairs • forward on - the
hearth -rug before the flower -filled, grate,
and settled down to pipes and 'a talk.
At least, Wray wanted to talle-I did
not. Never had the fellow appeared,
less congenial to me than that night;
and although, as it happened, his acci-
dental presence in my studio had re-
lieved me from the embarrassment of a
false position with regard to .Lilith, i

11 Is seat aria planting himself before me
on the hearth -rug, "that I would give
tenyears of my worthless life to have
such a girl as. Lilith Saxon look at me
as she looks at you! 'Why, you must
be made of wood and stone not to feel
it when those sky -blue -eyes, with the

it, instead' of giving just tire' touch -of

He sighed -hea}'ily, and sank down hi
his armchair again, 'burying his long
fingers in his wavy hair His enthu-
siasm concerning Lilith's charms an-
noyed me; but the subject had so evi-
dently carried him array that it was
impossible for me toresent it.
"Well, I inquired, after a pause, "if
you were in my place, what would you.
do?"
He looked up suddenly.
"Need you ask?" he said scornfully.
"What would any man with one ounce
of feeling do? Any man, I mean, not
tied down to conventions, hidebound by
social bandages, decorous, and Jew -
abiding, and popular among his own set,
such as you. I should not dream of
Spoiling. the girl's unique charm by hav-
ing her educated out of her delicious
frankness and originality; but I should
take her abroad with me, and let travel-
ing give her what polish might be ne-
cessary.
ecessary: Think of the pictures such a
personality would inspire one to paint!
'And she sems a docile little soul, too,
though even a virago ]night, be pardon-
ed with such a face and figure."
"You would malty her, then?"
"My dear Hervey, why should I? Men
dont marry girls like Lilith, They
keep them until mutual boredom sets
in, and then. the pretty little birds fly
off to seek some more congenial mate."
"Look here, Wray," . 1 exclaimed en-
ergetically, "I can't insult a man in my
own house. But, on my soul, 'your' way
of talking sickens Inc. If you cannot
speak decently about a modest and in-
nocent girl, I must ask you not to dis-
cuss her at all, Lilith Saxon is my
friend and ward. Her childlike purity
is veryfar above your comprehension,
but at least. you: might curb your loose
tongue for the salve of her youth and
her unprotected position."
"Do you mean to inai't'y her yourself,
that you take it so meet to Heart?" 'he
asked staring' at hie' cur tiusly,
"No!" I almost shouted. 'I do not
mean to marry herr You. are quite

Then 7 grossed the room m to theic-

case, being wearied and disgusted by
the man's cheap cynicism, and some-
what vexed that he had provoked life
into losing my temper.
After 'a few minutes'' pause,' during
'Which my basic was tattled f&vatcl fii11r.

"Thank you, I mad, ,'I should like
to see the portrait." ' '
Wray rummaged among the slcetelles
and letters which filled anuntidy parcel
behind a sofa in one corner of the
studio, over which, with characteristic
slovenliness, he had thong a . tapestry
cover from a table near. Presently he
found the photograph, and brought it to
me. ' it was inscribed, "Prom your.
Cousin I£ate," in ,large feminine hand-
writing, and it represented tt comely,
young woman, attired ill the height of
the fashion of ten yeal'S ago, with a.
rounds, pleasant face end a somewhat
evernlump figure. Thane was an air of
nlinr'led good nature and good breeding
about -her which suggested all amiable
personality, and as a studied the picture
I' decided that such a woman would •pro-
bably be kind and eatiknt with Lilith,
and ready to matte allowances for the
gli'l':s deiiciences in 1110011tiori.
"Would you like ale to write to her?"
asked Wray.
"11f you will give me your cousin's ad-
dress, I will go down and see her to-
morrow," I: answered, 'From what you
say, it seems just the sort of thing 1
ala looking: for."
"Much better to see the school for
}ourself, and have a chat with Mrs
Morland. Her address is Morland
House, Clifton Downs if ,''pu' can tell
111e what train you'll travel by, I'll send
her a line to keep her in to receive you.
1 shall be •telad to do Kate a good turn."
So it was settled, after a consultation
of. time tables, that I should go down
by an early ofternooli train on the fol-
lowing day; and a, sense of relief stole
over me at the thought -that the 1n•o-
blem'of Liiith's education was nearing
its solution.
For not among the least' of niy anx-
ieties concerning her was the know-
ledge ofthe'passionate delight her pre-
sence in "the studio afforded me. It was
clear 1 had better see as little as pos-
sible of the girl, and I hardly knew
whether I oughtto feel pleased or angry
•
when, before I had. finished my break-
'fast on the following morning, a hurried
tapping at the front door, followed by
a spirited, altercation and a scuffle in
the hall, preluded Lilith's tempestuous
entrance into my studio.
This work -place of mine, which o'cou-
pied, the whole of the first floor, served
for such meals as I. took In the house—
seldom more than breakfast, which was
supplied by the landlady, who, with her
family, ocupied the basement and a room
on the'top floor, where also-Wrenshaw's
room and that of another lodger were
situated. My _bedroom and dressing -
room were on the ground floor, and in
the latter 'Wray had made himself quite
at -alio -me, and had speedily 'reduced the
place to ohaos with his constitutiofal
untidiness. He was a man addicted to
late. hours and interminable gossip over
pipes and whisky; and long after 1 had
my bath and breakfast, and often a
morning stroll as 'well, and Glad got. to

"Isn't that splendid!" she exclaimed.
"I'nt just in, time to have my b1'eakfast,

stuffed her up with a lot of lies.." I told
her 1 was a granddaughter to an earl,
and that all my affairs had been left in
your hands, and that you were: going to
prove my claim. to the family' estates
and the family diamonds. It all turned
on a will, 1 said, which was believed to
be in,a0 iron safe under the castle moat
—I 'read something like that in an 11-
lustrated supplement last Christmas,
And she took it all in at. first, and n21
she did . stare!' 33ut presently, when I
began to lay it on a bit too thick, she
get cross, and told me not to talk non-
sense; and this morning she wanted me
to give the children their breakfasts.
But if I''m going . to be an educated
young lady, it don't do to go in for
nurse -maid's work. So, while her back
was turned, off I slips and jumps in a
cab and away here. I hadn't any money
left, so I told Mr. 'Crenshaw when he
opened the door. and: asked him to pay
the cabman, awl he got that cross he
made me nearly cry with laughing. Be-
cause, you see, the cabman had to have
his money,. and. if I hadn't any, what
was to be done?"
She seated herself at table facing me,
after she had thrown her hat across the
room. Prettier than ever she looked le
the clear mdrning light, her blue ;eyes
dancing with excitement and gaiety, as,
like a little hungry bird, she poised her-
self overthe dishes, lifting covers and
eeamining them critically with her head
on one side. •
