Thee little innovation would mean a tre-

and Bryant suddenly zc'r,i'ved to put
Ketch's d,er.:very to a practical experi-
ment.
"I'll e::tarr. him ort one of my own ma-

"It , all right,' he said to the ervant.
"Mr heath has come here to see me 00

Ketch grinned.
"I'd like to eee the rave as would try
to run away w:th it."i
He took off his cap and smoothed hie'
very smooth hair with his band roughen.;
ed with work and blaekened with grease
"Had your breakfast?" asked Bryant, as
he emoted into the dining -room,
"I'd a cup of cawfee at seven. Was out
on an early job this morning: had to tool
a gent from Hampstead to Waterloo; lote j
of baggage. Think he was doing a scoot;
r
but that amt nos of my business, and
he paid me well."
'S1 down," mid Julian Bryant.
Ile felt a thrill of pleasure pale through ;
his vein,. This was life, rough, common, e
illiterate, but life all the same; nothing
> ulfifying, nothing noesterioue, nothing
capinesstve in the daily' attucephere which
surrounded such a man at! ill Retell
"Do you mean that?" asked Ketch, a
little dubious v.
He wee °deb sting within himself whether 1
he aught eo ay "sir." There wae each a i
change in Julian Bryant. Ile really hard-
ly .recognized We former pal in this good- J
looking rn-ell-dreesed man.
"Of court:. I mean it. Sit down and
have something to eat. I've just finished
br eakf et; but they shall make you some ,
trash coffee, and you can have anything
you like."
Ketch said something pretty strong un-
der
his breath; but he sat down a little
c:un:.sily and then Iocked at Julian,
-I've often wondered what had oomo to
you," he said; "but Mime if I ever teuppoe-
cd anything of this sort. It don't take
much gue:sin' to see as you've evidently
come into a fortune."
"res, said Bryant, -that le why I sent
for you. Have you done anything about
that little invention of yours?"
"No,"eaid Ketcth "rye been waitin'."
A footman came in and took Mr Bry.
attire orders for some breakfast to be
brought at once,
"Yes, I've been waxen'," continued
Reich. "I believe in keeping one's tongue
between one'e .teeth,'Bryant, till one gets
things shoved along a bit into shape. It
don't do, you know, to take too many pet•
pie into your confidence. There's such a
balmy ;lot of rf thieves cutting round."
"Weil
I'm not
a thief," Julian Bryant
said with a laugh, and suddenly he was
silent. What else wae he but a thief? A
man 'who stood in a false position, a man
• who' had stolen 'tlte best out of a woman's
heart and life, and then left her to fight,
perhaps even to go under?
He shivered, and, turning, he walked to
the window.
Ketch was looking at him curiously. He
. had always realized that Bryant :was a
cut above -the rest of the men in the yard,
and unconsciously he had tempered hie
friendship with a certain_ amount of re-
spect. Now he felt just a, little awkward.
'I wasn't thinking of. you," he said
clumsily, when he spoke. I know you to
be a straight chap, and now you have
come into luck—well, I'm glad, very
geed!"
The footman brought in fresh coffee and
several silver diihee and placed them in
front of Mr. I{etch.

innumerable tried to draw him,
but the only information Which they
got from him was that he considered
that both sides were showing self-
restraint. Nevertheless the Ulster-
men undoubtedly came to the con-
clusion that he was not on their
side, but whim reason had they for
saying so, goodness only knows. On

CHAPTER XI.
It was strange but a very charming ex-
perience for Enid to wake the next morn-
ing and look about her. The window was
widely open, and the early morning sun-
shine :was Reeding the room.
It was a dainty little room, all white
paint and pretty flowered chintz—the sort
of room she had vaguely longed for.
On the walls were hung some water col-
ors; the nearest` one hes a view of the
Do er Palace and the Piazza San Marco.
Enid did not look at it twice. She turn-
ed round on her pillow instead, resting
herself on her elbow, and the looked at
the garden.
Ecom :th_s corner of the house she had
an uninterrupted view of the country be-
yond the Rectory grounds; and her eyes
filled with tears as she watched the ,S11.11 -
light glinting the trees, and felt the warm
soft air fragrant with ficwers steal
through the window.,
hire. Gresham, her hostess, bad escorted
her up to her ream the night before; in
fact, she had insisted on Mete Sinclair go-
ing to bed early.
You look so tired, my dear," she said
"Naw won't you promise ma to etay in
bed to -morrow morning and -have a thor-
ough rest? Then if you' feel equal to it,
we will go over to Colonel Dawney's farm
in the afternoon I'm so glad you had
no concert to-day.It iv

rt? And the
quiet
here
will do you good; because," added. :hiss.
Gresham, with a faint smile, owe are very
quiet here, especially on .Sundays. I'm
afraid that is why Desmond soca not come
to me as often as I [should like."
Enid had promised to rest and have her
breakfastsent up, but the morning sun-
ehine tempted her, and the felt so mach
'better that she got up, took her bath, and
dressed, and then finding that she could
reach the garden by some iron steps from
the terrace outside her •window, she des-
cended them.
Her unhappiness and her oppression
slipped away from her almost entirely as
she wandered through the old-fashioned
Rectory garden.
The silence, the freedom, the profusiou
of flowers, took her back to early enema
les, although the garden in Canada had
ever been so beautifully arranged or eo
ultivated as title one.
After a while she sat down on a rustic
eat and watched a little brook that
ivkle•d through the grounds. It danced
and shone in the sunlight, and it made a
asked and gurgling sound as it fell over
me loose pieces of stone. .And ae she
at there, someone leaped over the low
oundary wall and came towards 1100.
Again just for a moment Enid Bryant
acted and shivered az she looked at this
man; though he was older he certainly
wae very, very like Julian.
Colonel Dawney saw that almost fright-
ened look in her eyes, and expressed re-.
'at for etartiing her,
"I'm so sorry, Mies Sindlair," he said. "I
ei not suppose I should find any of the
ectory party up, although Mrs. Greshann

There eves an expression on the servant's s
face which did not escape the guest. He tr
chuckled to himself as he poured out
some -coffee. xn
"Ain't too pleased to be standin' round so
doing things for a chap like me," he said, e
"Aim T to help myself?" b
"Yes," said Julian Bryant, leaving the
window st
"Well tb°s is a bit of all right,' said
Ketch, as he promptly obeyed.
White he ate he looked about him.
"It don't seem human," he said, after
a panne "I've read a bit in my time, and
I know that there'e palaces andbig
places where kings and such like live, but- di
thio beats me: A little bit of a change R
for you, what? How'd you like to go back
again `to the old life, gestin' up at six,
workin' in mud and grease and wet, and
p're.po get'in' arshiiling or tea at
the end
of the day." ._
"Yost won't believe me, Ketch," eaid
Bryant 'but I'd give all thee, all I've
got, and it's a great deal, to be baok liv-
ing under those very same conditions."
Mr. Ketch ewa.ilowed the coffee with a
relitth and -wiped hie mouth with the [back
of his hand,
T done think there 10, but if I can do
that, Bryant went on quickly, "1 want ,o
do something am near it as I can. T'm an
idle man, Ketch, and I've too much time
on my hands. I want to be busy. Can
you leave your job and come and 'work

You try me," eaid Ketch, "I suppes°
you've got a Johnny what drives for you?"
'Yes, and I must keep him on. He's a
decent chap, and lie's got a wife and two
c'hi'ldren. It wouldn't be fair to shunt
him, especially as he hats been looking af-
ter the cars 'before I cameere?'
"Iut what's the idea, guv not, Me and
him won't quarrel?" said Ketch, gently
and generously,
"I'm going to let you experimentalize,
and if your invention worke out all right,

"'u you mean that?" asked the man

Bryant noddedhie head,
"Yes. There is my hand on it," •
(they shook hands across the table, and
Retch went on eating.
Suddenly he pat down his knife and
fork; and he looked at Julian,
le'an't hardly believe it," he said; and
his voice was not itteady.'0fcourse, I've

Enid said: "Yes. it is very good of her
to have me. T'm really •a stranger •to Mrs.
Gresham's nephew, Mr. Hammond."
"I don't think he thinks so," said Colonel
Dawney 'May I it down?"
"Please do." said Enid, Then she smil-
ed : 'I have 'a sort of idea that you would
liketo smoke, tvould•n't you?"
He nodded his dead.
'Yes. You really don't mind?"
"No; I am used to smoking."
She colored thotity after she had -eaid

FROM IRELA.NID TO BELGIUM.
Ltent.-General Maer'eaily Preserved
Peace in Ulster.
Six months ago he was the most -
talked -of man in the British army.
The annoying thing about hint and
what made him so tremendously un-
popular with the press at any rate
was
that
he
refusedto-
talk -
back.
This1
w"King" at the time King Car-
son was installed in his place at
Craigavon and when battleships
cruised off Arran; when Larne was
regarded as 'being much more inter-
esting than Calais, and a siege of
Belfast infinitely more probable
than a siege of Antwerp; Ulster
volunteers in their tens of thou-
sands were drilling, marching and
counter-marching•and f'spoiling for
a fight." This all seems So long,
so very long,ago, that there is no
harm in recalling it, more especial-
ly as we now better realize what a
hideous, unspeakable thing warfare
is, and it has become certain that
never again will anyone dream of
conniving at that most criminal
form of warfare, namely, Civil war.
Only .a few months ago we seemed
on the brink of it. Gun -running
went merrily on, and tthe flower
and pride of Ulster's manhood were
preparing themselves with burning
zeal for battle. In the midst of it
all' Macready very gaiety and un-
ostentatiously arrived in Belfast.
No one knew exactly why he had
come or what position he held ex-
cept that he was a resident magis-
trate. Some said that he was the

ready, E.C.B.
doing.. He abo
ut,ly refused to be,
a conspirator of a theatrical type,
and this is ratherto he :wondered •at
because he -was the . son of William'
Charles Macready (by his second
wife, Miss Spencer), who was one
of the most famous actors the Eng-
lish stage has ever known and whose
representations of Macbeth, King
Lear, King John, and Iago, are
still remembered for their extreme
brilliance. Macready, the actor,
though a. man devoted to his family.
and children, as his wonderful
diary shows, was a• stern ddseipli-
narian, so very likely in his early
childhood General Macready had
the seeds of obedience and disci-
pline strongly implanted in him.
Still a Ir ming Man. ,
He was born in May, 1862, so it
will be seen that for his present
position he is a young man. He was
educated at Marlborough and Chel-
tenham, afterwards going to the
Royal Military College. In 1881 he
became alieutenant in the Gordon
Highlanders. Before he had been
a year with the regiment he made
the famous night march across the
Egyptian rebels' lines at Tel-el-Ke-
bir.
