The rays or the setting sur, ,which dyed the scarcely rippling sea a brilliant crimson, fell upon her face and upon that of a young girl who knelt beside the bed and heli the (lying woman's hand. 'rhe lace of the woman Wes softened by the approaching climax, and but for a ''strange restlessness and uncertainty in her eyes it would have beau wholly at peace. She had been silent sores time, watching the reflection of the son - light on the wall, and the young girl had beeu watching her, silently, too, with tear-dimmod eyes. .At last the woman turned her heard and looked at the lovely face and forced n smile, "What time is it, Miss Noralt?" she asked in a faint voice. "Nearly eight, Catherine, dear,' she replied. "I shall sink with the Bun," she said, not complainingly, but with the listless apathy of one who is waiting and longing Inc peace. The girl's tears fell, but she cried quietly and unobtrusively, and oven endeavored to conceal them from her companion,' who saw them, never- theless. "Don't cry, dear," she said. "Don't t be -unhappy. I should not be 1f -1f I were not leaving you alone -all alone!" "Don't think of are, Catherine, dear," said the girl, forcing back her tears. "Oh, if there were any- thing I could do!" "There is nothing," sho said feeb- ly. "I am quite willing to go, but for the thought of leaving yuu. Norah, I have done my duty—" "Oh, Catherinel" "I have tried, since your mother diol, to be a -a mother to you!" "You have been all that a mother could be to me -all, Catherine!" re- sponded the glrl sobbingly. A strange look came into the dy- ing woman's face and she raised her hand and laid it lovingly, wistfully on the girl's head. "And you have loved me as if -as if I had been your mother, clear':" she naked, with a sucidbn intensity. "Yes, yes, you know that, •tear," assented Nurah fer•velmtly, "Why, I. scarcely remember any other mother[ than you. You have been--- rho) could not got any further, "Yes, I know," she murmured. "It,, has been the only thing that utas macre it possible. If you had not hived me, Norah—" She stopped and was silent for a moment or two. Then she stud: "Norah, have you thought of what you will do when I am gone.? "• "No, dear. How could I think of anything but you'? You must not be unhappy or anxious about lee." "You -you will stay here, Norah," she said, and her voice had grown more feeble, "till -till -for a time. Tho people will look after you as long as you stay. They aro fund of you and kiud, and there is money. Yee have the last quarter's allow auce," "Don't trouble about nue, Cather- ine. deur."

"I1 is all so dark, so troubled!" continued the woman. "if I could only tell you -blit I cannot, I dare not. Not now! It is too late!" "What is it that worries, you, Catherine, clear? Is it anything you want to tell me; anything you wish mo to do?" The woman looked at her long and wistfully, with a tenderness which could not have been deeper in a. mother's eyes; then she sighed again. "No, it is nothing, Nofall-nothing I can tell you:. but there is something you must do." "What is it? T. will do anything, everything, you. tell me." "There is a letter under the pil- low," said the dying woman faintly. Norah prat her hand under the -p11- low and drew out a closed envelope.

"Catherine, dear, dear Catherine, you know I have loved you and that 1 shall always love you, whatever - may happen! What •can happen to make nue so wicked and ungrateful as to forget you or think of you any way but as my second mother?" Catherine IIayes opened her eyes and fixed them on the girl's face with inexpressible tenderness; then, with a sigh, they closed, to open no more on this mystery which we call Life. 1 Norah uttered one cry, and, as if, she had been waiting for it as a' signal, an old lady opened the door and came gently to her side. "Court away, Miss Noah. Come away, dear. The girl kissed the white face acct' stood looking clown at it for a min- ute through her blinding tears, then allowed the old lady to lead Lel' from the room. When the first shock of grief had subsided she became conscious al the letter which she still held in her hand. Sho got up and put on her hat and walked down to the post office in the village, She !night have sent it, but she had promised to post it and sho would obey the ono end last request which bad been made by the woman who, though a servant, had been, as she said, a mother to her. A week later an old gentleman in a frock coat and a white hat climbed; the narrow path that led to 111e cat- tage and knocked at the little green' door. Ile was very warm, for the inonth was Juno and the. son blazing 01 the 'most gallant fashion, and as he took off his white bat and wiped his bald forehead he pulled end gasped, although ho was by no means fat. "Mrs. Jordan, I believe, ma'am," he said to the old lady who answcr- ed rho kock.

"Miss Froth is out at present, but I am expecting her every! moment." Mr. Pelhericrlk walked In and look-' ed round the small room with ]cern but not unkindly glance. It was the best room in tho cottage, and it was not without a certain rellnement.l Two or three volumes of modern poets lay on the table and soino etchings of the best masters hung on 111e walls. There was something about the room that was not only cozy but tasteful. and with that inrlofinable tone which is felt, though it cannot be des- cribed. (To be Continued.) CITAP'1'111Ii INTI, Bell's professional enthusiasm got Lilo -better of his curiosity for the moment. It was a nice psyehologt- cal problem.

"1 daresay I shall feel pretty siege about it later on, but the thing has to be done, Cut those wires for ale, nod let those creepers dawn as tenderly es possi- ble. We can't get to the little pots until we have moved the big ones," Ball coolly declined to do anything of the !dud. Ile surveyed the two graceful banks of flowers there, the carefully trained creepers trailing so naturally and yet so artistically from the roof to the ground, and the eight pleased ilium. 'My dear cheap," he said, "I ala 1 not going to sit here and allow you. to destroy the !cork of so many hours. Thyro is not the slightest reason to disturb anything. Unless 1 am greatly mistaken, 'Von Sneck' will lay his hand upon the ring for us without so much as the sacrifice Of a blossom." "I dont fancy so," Van Snack replied. "1 can't remember." "Well, you aro going to," hell said, cheerfully, "Did you ever hear of artificial memory?' "Tho sort of thing you get In law courts and political speeches?" David suggested. All the same, if you have some patent way of getting at the facts I shall be only too glad to spare my poor flower's. Their training has been a labor of love with me." hell smoked on quietly for some time. Ile toyed with the red Laos-, souls which had so stimulated Van Snock's recollection, then tossed a spray over to Van Suede and sug- gested that the latter should put 0 in his button -hole. "So as to have the fragrance with you all the tine," he said. Van Sneck obeyed quietly, remark- ing that the NMI:, was very pungent. The Dutchman was restless and ill at ease; he seemed to bo dissatisfied with himself -he had the air of a mal who 11as set out arch ttwo or three extremely important matters of business and who has completely forgotten what one of them is. "You needn't distress yourself," rvid said, kindly "I beg your pardon," Bell said tartly. 'He is to do that very same thing. Mental excretes: never hurts anybody. Van .`!neck is anther to worry till ho puzzles it out, Will you describe the ring to us?" Tho Dutchman complied at con- siderable length. ire dwelt on the beauty of the workmanship and the exceeding fineness of the black pearls; he talked with the freedom and expression of the expert. Boll permitted him to ramble o1 about historic rings in general. lint all the same he could see that Aim Sneck was Inc frons easy hl his mind. Now and then a sudden gleam came into his eyes: memory played for the fragment of a second o1 a cer- tain elusive chord and was gone. "!Vere you smoking the night you came here?" Bell asked, suddenly, "Yes," Van Sneck replied; "a cig- arette, Henson handed it over to roe. I don't deny that I was terrt- Lly frightened. T. smolked tb0 Cigar- ette out of bravado." "You went into the conservatory yonder and admired the flowers," Bell observed, Van Sneck looked up with aston- ishment and admiration. "T did," he confessed. "But I don't see how you know that. "1 guessed it. It takes , -aha brain some little time to get level to the Imagination. And as soon as you came face to face with lienson you lcuew what was going to happen.

"I rather believe I was," Van Sneck said, thoughtfully, i:'ou smocked a cigarette there, Rhere,ciid you put the end?"
