But though he tried to give her his

wandered unceaeingly to Sunbeam, his

Soon, be -told himself, he mimed look
Into her eyes. What would he read

eyes had once told him in falteringly

And Yet his lips were doomed to silence,
He dared not tell his love.
With a smotherea sigh he turned to
Eileen. She was laughing gaily. A feel-
ing, of disappointment evembeimed him
as he looked. If only she would not care
fee him!
"I am so glad Uncle Ralph left his
inciney to you," said Lady Larldn, meet-
ing les eyes. "Pop Uncle I Lae was a
sad thing for him; doubtless death was
welcome. But 1 was not surprised to
hear of your good fortune. Ho was very
tend of you, And now 1 must say it is a
good thing that—" She paused mid

The girl laughed.
"I know what you mean, Adele. Don't
mind in. You are glad for Duncan's
sake that he is no longer poor. And so
am I. Although what I have would have
been his. Yet -now -no one can say
that he is marrying me for my wealth.
Ah money Is a woman's curse! With

self, counts in her friendships and her
loves. And theugh I know that you are

luck that places ycu *eve the suspicion

He smiled his thanks. Ile could not
trust himself to speak. For how could
he say that he was no longer glad. His
good fortune but tightenect the chains
-that hound him to her. Though his in-
ner self beat tumultuously at his heart,
crying, "Have done with it -put her
from you al once," pride and ealuctance
closed the door of escape.
Ile glanced al her inquiringly as the
carriage stopped at Lady Larkins door.
She smiled, reading his unspoken
thought.

"Yes," he replied, reluctantly. For he
saw how impossible would be the longed-

Or two, with Sunbeam. For, of course,
Adele would not take her .also. That
was out of the question.
"You do not seem overwhelmed with

pma.
"ely dearest ,I was thinking how good
it was of Adele to -to keep you here for

wered in a voice full of self-reproach.

Disappointment, however, lurked in

But when Eileen had gone to her room
te dress and Adele was about to follow,
she said carelessly-
"Sembearn Ls in the schoolreom, Dun-

ascribed to the educated elute; of Ben -
gulfs and to the Coegvess piety, tie

'The Congress party is insidiously do-

Ile deplores the effete of English
party polities on public opinion in India,
but praises the thinness shown by Mr.
Morley. He deneuncils the policy of
making concieesions to the educated dis-
contented clese of Bengalis. Ile says:
"Instead of trying vainly to coneillete
by political concessions which do not
touch the real people, the English would
be much better aevised in looking into
the condition of tho masses, and in try-
ing lo find out whd it really is that

benefits, unpopular with them. They

ing BriUsh rule highly unpopular?"
KEEP POWDER DRY.
Finally, he says: "However that may
be, theillInglish sbould always in this
countey quietly keep their powder dry
and thelr rifles ready. Let them go on

science dictates, without 1001011 heed to
