"Ayo! fool myself almost re-

must mato: what atonement I can by

And thus the woman, whom Sir
Rupert had vowed that ho would
neyet• receive, Waa comfortably in-
stalled at Glynno Hall, and it took
hor a very few hours to lot every-
body below thot she did not intend
that her position should be sub-
orainate ono,
"It's Limo I had some componsa-
thin after Lhe life Pre bad during
the last two years. l'm sick and
tired of looking alter that child, so
you'd bel.ter get a couplo of nursos
to look after him. And, by the way,
you must let me havo some monoy—
I must really get some dresses; I
haven't got a rag flt to be seen in.
Now that I have got a. position to
keop up I most be dressocl decently.
Oh! a hundred pounds will clo to
start with, and I will take a run up
to London to -morrow."
This was ono of many little speech-
es that seeved to set Sir Rupert's
teeth on Nose, but he bore it all pa-
tiontly, and acquieeced in all her
wishes. The littlo heir soon made
himself a prime favorite with all the
how:A.101d, and Sir Rupert end John.
Brown did their best to spoil him.
And as 111,3 dnys paseed, Mrs. Har-
ry, as she Was called, became more
aasertive and made horself mom ob-
noximia, Fier innate vulgarity pro-
truded itself in varioty of Way's;
and, now that hoe position was as-
sured, she took no paths, to rancor
her plebinn tostee, or subdue the
paroxysms- of auger to which she was
subjoct.
"Ono thing can't -understand,
Glynne," said John 13vown. "The 111 -
tie kiddy is constantly crying for
mamma, and yet when tho mother
comps mar him he seems terrified of
her,"
'Yes, I've noticed that mysolf,
supposo she was fond of the child as
