Those who saw him go glanced slgulfIcantly at ono another, end then al. tlie. beanie Po' woman well lIle gule,ead face, who Mul astonished her Intimates by refus- ing him. For they had been such close friends since her hushand's death that all the world had whispered of their coming opiate l'hen suddenly it, had been dee- trifled by the announcement, of ner en- gegement to Lord Ceuse, a man who rarely appeared in noddy being some- what of a bookwom, 11 k property, in Blankshire, adjoined the email portion ber husbances estates that load been meted out to her. 'Therefore all the county, assembled al Um annual Hunt Ball in Nunchester, eympathized with bandsome Ralph Freer, and his rapid disappearance from the scene of pleasure was cootemeuted on by all. Thinking himself unnoticed be slip- ped into the cloak 1.00111 and. donned his en moat. Then passed quickly down the pahneined hall to Oho entrance. .A man- servant pulled the heavy glass doors open respectfully. With a little shiver lie stepped outside. It was a welched night, The rain poured down in torrents and a gusty wind buffeted Min with mischleveue ,glee. For a secoud ha hesitated, looking back at the brilliantly lighted hall. A oilman touched his hat. He shook his head, turned up his collar, and Stepping -out briskly crossed the Market Square, After following the principal streets fee some yards he dived down a wide -alley well a (motive glance behind him es though fearful of detection, and en. loved a small pudic house. lee atmos- phere reeking, of beer and stale tobacco made him pause on the threshold. A man seated close to the door rose and came up to him. Ile was short and thick .set with a low brow and a build shaped heed. His bronzed fare was broad and gcod humored, but the mouth cruel and hued, the little eyes sharp and cun- Jung. Ilo jerked his thumb over lois shoulder towards an Inner room. Ralph followed hire silently. The room was small and diety, but it WM the advantage of priv- acy. A smouldering nee struggled weakly in the grate. Ralph held out Ids chilled fingers to it. Then looked inquir- ingly into his cnompanton's face. • "A' might," muttered the fellow, flop- ping heavily on to a chair . "Aoylime yo e lolke." "To -night," replied Ralph. "In ano- ther hour or so.' 'A' roiled, mister. I don't quite un- ,devstand yer game. Rut I've sed I'd de it, an' so I will. Only. I wish yeed change yer mind.

Ile made his way to a distant room. On the threshholfi he hesitated again. Some maid might still be there. Then with a sneer at the doubt, he entered boldly. The softened light fell on a little child's bed. Her flushed face was tented to him. Her hair gleamed like spun gold. With a hasty morement ho stooped over her and slipped his arms under her little body. She stirred, opening sleePY blue eyes. Recognition sprang lo them. A. smile creased her lips. "Deer Ra—" she murmured, nestling into his arms. A feeling of uneasiness filled his heart. For a second he hesitated, and half withdrew his arms. But the next, in- stant lie hardened himself again, for his eyes had. fallen on the pictured lace of the woman he loved.
