"Thank you, Mr. Hammond," she said. "That was very good of you. Now won't 'you let us go aver these songs again." He stood by the piano, looking at her, and his expression was moody. the chair where his case rested, and brought, the music back. Enid spent an hour over one song, shove in. him his mistakes, and suggesting where he could -nee his voice to the beet advantage. She flung herself into the work with all her heart, and they both felt that the:first lesson had been most successful. "How do you know so much?" enquired Mr. Hammond, as they got up to go. "You seem very young, and yet you are so aw- fully (lever." I have only my music to live for," Enid answered him, hardly conscious of how much was confessed in the words. They left the hall together, and he in- e'sted, against her will, on escorting her back to her very modest lodging.

Mr. Pleydell would have very ,much liked to have met Enid, but he shrank 'a little from coming in contact with Julian Bryant,. This was something that could not be avoided, how- ever, and one evening, about .a week after Julfan's visit to the' Wiltshiree, Mr. Pley- dell found himself walking to keep, a din- ner engagement with big, Bryant in the house to 'which he had - gone so often when liaehael Marnock had been alive. The two area met`ivitle apparent friend- Iiness, though Mr. Pleydell felt a. little awkward, and while the lawyer was still trying. to frame some 'words in which to approach the subject which so .burdened' his heart, Julian Bryant set .him at his ease.

"You have made a great many changes here," Mr. Pieydel said, looking about him; "but it was always a very charming house, and Mrs. Marnock had great knowl- edge of what was good in furniture and such like." • —Yes," said Bryant, with his faint' smile. "I underetand that this house is 'full of treasures. Lady Ellen ()reaper and some other friends were dining with me here a night or two ago, and they 'were full of admiration for the china and the. pictures; for myself, I know very little about these things, and care lees," he added -with a sigh. - Mr. Pleydell looked' at hmi' this time sharply, and 'without a fre,wn.

In that. moment he almost assured— him-self that the man wae playing a part. and he understood that' the part was a painful one to play. The conVereation reverted after -this; and was kept strictly to business topics, and after Mr. Pleydell had gone Julian Bryant stalked restlessly through the many charming rooms of -his house. He was thinking of what Lady Ellen Crooper had said to him just before ehe had left the night of the dinner.; . • "It's a, duck of a houseMr. Bryant!" she .had declared.

"But I am not going to remember," he said to himself. "There is nothing one can't do if one puts one's back into it, and I am going to learn to 'forget, to for- get entirely and absolutely." He had made a stipulation with Mr. Pley- dell .that all his -business should he dealt with by ,the .senior 'partner of the, firm.

What is the white on our flag, boys? The honor of our land, Which burns in our sight like a bee con light, And stands while the hills shall stand. Yes, dearer than fame is our land's great name, And we fight wherever we be, For the mothers and wives that pray for the lives Of the brave hearts over the sea. - What is the red on the flag, boys?
