The last four years of Roosevelt's term cost more than twice as much as the first 76 years of the republic. To be exact, the appropriation bills of those years called for $3,522,982,810,87.

She hoped that he, too, would remember that there was 110 time to lose, and would follow the old man, but instead tho earl began to pace up and clown, then he stopped within a few 'itches of her hiding-place'and, leaning against the merved lion, took out another cigar. Prinently, to her immense relief, with a sigh, the earl fastened itia ulster, and etraighteuisig himself, marched slowly away. Joan waited ontil his tall !men had disappeared round the coiner, then sprang from her ambush, and fled down the steps. She had scarcely reached the bottom when she heard a voice behind her call out firmly and gravely, "Stop, please!" and turning round saw the earl standing. in the middle of the terrace, looking at her with a strange smile, For a moment Joan's lieare stood still, and She looked first in one direction and then the other, like a frightened lawmas if trying to decide which way to fly. Then, with the sudden impulse of maid- enly dignity, she drew herself up, and stood perfectly still. The earl came toward her slowly, and raised his bat. "I beg your pardon," he said, in Ids grave. musical tones. "I am afritid 1. startled you." Joan, keeping her face turned from the* moonlight, shook her head. "No," she said, in a low voice, It nd prepared to go on; but the earl bowed. "Will you be so good as to tell me where 1 shall find the caretaker of this place?" he asked. Joan, still with averted face, pointed te a small building at the end of the house. "There!" elle replied. "Thanks!" he said, gravely. "Probably you are her daughter?" "No, I am opt," said Joan. As she spoke he moved slightly, so as to see her face, and a moraentary expres- sinn of aurprise and interest shone in Ws eye e as they rested upon hers. "I beg your pardon again," he said, elowly. "I thought that the fact of your behig here at this time in the eveniag warranted my,eonjeeture. Please forgive Inc." "There is nothing to forgive:* said Jotn. wIlhose are the caretaker's rooms!" and, with an inclination of the head, she was going to take flight again, but, womanlike, Ace stopped to add, "1— often come here. The place is usually deserted, and I did not know anyone would be here to -night.' "I quite understand," he said, his eyes fixed on hers. "You were coming to see tbe. view, and my 'presence has alarmed you. D.o not let we drive you away. I tun a stranger here and am aow going. Please remain!" and he turned as if to leave' her. Josue paused. She abhorred a hese- hood. and to let him go under the im- pression that she had only just arrived was more than her conscience would per- mit. She opened her lips to make a full confession of her eavesdropping, when he spoke first and interrupted her, "Perhaps it is 1 who ought to give some explanation of my presence Imre," he said, courteously. "My name is Vil- liers, and I have inherited the plate. Not having seen it for many years, 1 catne down to take a look et it and try and decide whether I liked it sufficiently well to live in it." "I know," said Joan, nerving herseit. 'I --I have been here some time, my lord. 1 was on the terrace when the old gen. tie/ram—Mr. Craddock, he ealled himself —came out of the house.

Joao would have given much to have shaken her head and fled homewards but there was something, an indefinable tone Of conaliand hi the masterful voice, gen- tle as it was, that made her stop againse her will. "'You spoke of gratitude," he mid. "I do tot ackuoerledge that there 'should be any. Will you repay nee for my—lalutt *hall I say—eonsideration?" and he laugbed grimly. josat turned tier eyes upon him guts- tionnigly, and talthig her silence and her look as consent, be said: "You heard me tell.

"My reason for Baking you to return to the terrace is a tWOkliti one," he said; "one vett oee the view from there, And la oneltereil Irma the 'wind." Joan moved forward, but did, net avail herself of the hand which he extended to help ber up the Steps. "You are, very good," he said, "leo you mire my molting?" Joan shook her head. "Thanks; but first will you, please, let me give you my coat. It is cold, up tient" and he took off his ulster. "No, not" said. Joan, a quick flush wising to her face. "I am quite warm." "And it is right that yon should keep soO* he said, firmly, and he held out the Coat to put it around her. Joan put up her liana hurriedly to take it from tutu, but in his quiet, self- possessed manner he wrapped it round her, and indicating the wooden bench, waited until Joan had seated berself; then he half sat, half lounged ondbe bal- ustrade above her, and looked down at her for IV moment in silence. The moonlight fell full upon her fates and lit up every line of it. In that' mo- ment there flashed upon Lora Villiers the conselowsness that he had never seen a more beautiful girl; in the next, that this girl with the face of an Aphroaite must be one far and away beyond the common run of women, to be sitting there so calmly and quietly, so self-pos. sessed, so confidant in her innocence and maidenly dignity, The thought "gave him pause," and he found himself dwelling upon her face in a deep study, until, warned by a sudden upward glance of the lovely gray eyes, he roused Willson and said; "ee how much you have spared your- self and me by the neeident which coin. pelted you to hear it part of my Ettory. Miss—I beg your pardon, I do not know . your name." • "My mono is Joan*" she mur- mured, with a calm innocence, which smote him so that he stopped her. "Stop!" he Bald quickly; "I have no right to ask you that question! You shall not tell met You ma.y with when you come to eonsider the eircumstances, that we should remain strangers until we are properly introdueed. You shall not tell me your name!" "As you please, my lord!" He glanced down at her tnoughtfully. "You have heard me tell Mr, Crad- dock how I came to own this," and he waved his hand toward the Wold, "and that I am now a rich man. Most per- sons, like Mr, Craddock, Would imagine that I should be only too anxious to enter into possession and enjoyment of the good things which fortune, in the shape of the late Earl of Arrowfield, had given me. But posseseion and en- joyment, Miss Joan—I may call you ao, may I not?" Joan nodded, without taking her eyes from the distant sea. "Thanks. Popsession and enjoyment do not always go together. I have been it very poor man, for one in my posh tion! I have led a life--" He stop. ped, as if he hed suddenly remembered that he was speaking to a young girl— "it life of change anemovement.

There was silence for a monaent, then he went on: • "If I am right in my conjecture, why disturb the place? —why produce the fuss and bustle to no good purpose? On the other hand, one owes a duty to one's position—you were going to tell me, Miss Joao?" Joan looked up with a slight start. "And ono should consider the happiness of others before one's own, The people here—they are my people now, I suppose—tell me what are they like? You live here, you know them?" "Yes," said Joan softly. She felt be- wildered, like a person in a mesmeric trance. "Yea, I live here, I know them all. They would be glad if you stayed —I think—I do not keoeve she said, putting her hand to her brow.' "Why you should not be happy here?" "Mat" he said, with a strange smile. "It is easy for you to ask! You have iforiveends, a !ether and mother whom you Joan's face paled. "I have no father nor mother," she said, without lookiog at him, "and few friends, save these fisher people," Ile looked down at her with a, warmer tight in his eyes. "Forgive suet I ought not to nave said that! You, too, are alone in the world, 111158 Joan?" Joan forced a smite. "Very nearly, my lord," she said. He watched her thoughtfully. "And you are happy?" Joan was silent for a moment, "Yes, I am happy," she said. "Or nearly so," she added with it faint laugh. "Why shoeld I not be? But we are speaking of myself now, and that is wasting time. You have not deeined yet." Ile started; the speeeli conveyed to his mind In an instant her intense loneliness and uneeInsintese. "Yes, yes," he said, quickly. "I beg your pardon. No!

"That is not at ail likely," joan said. "1 am quite well," Emmeline was about to speak again, when the colonel outered. There was no trace of the smile upon his countenance, and his eyo gleamed viciously all round, "Why, papa!" began Julia, when lie stopped her with a snarl. "If there is anything I hate, it is that eternal 'Why, papa l' and I can't stand it this Morning. I have had quite enough to upset me already! Lord Vit. liars isn*.t coming!"
