St. Ange decided to look first of all
on the home of her youth—Beaulieu
—again; she attracted no attention
as she went through the streets.
Very soon she had lett the town be-
hind her. She was a quick, grace-
ful walker, and the few miles of
country The trees and fid elds, the turns tofo lthre
river, the winding of the green lanes,
were all familiar to her. Presently
she reached Beaulieu. It was occu-
pied by new people, but she deter-
mined to go up to the well-known
door whichand would somesk question

place. There was a fierce pain at
her heart, yet she could not shed a
tear. She recalled her bright, happy
lost life—the time when her gentle,
kindly mother had been so proud and

er. Ah Heaven,
the bitter, terribleldihTerezzic between
then and now!
Once more site trod the 01d famil-
iar paths winding through the
grounds round to the side door. In
her mind's fancy she could see her
mother's face, as site had seen it
hundreds of times, looking out of the
great bay window, with its wreath
of passion -flowers around it, waiting,
with loving words to welcome her.
Could '
rt be that but a few years
ingo she had nocent child?a She could remela beautiful, nbel•
so vividly the day when Dims, Clief-
den came from White Cliffe, bringing
with her Dolores, and how madame
had said they were to. be friends and
to love each other always.
A cruel, bitter smile curled her lip.
"Well," sho said, "if I have suffer-
ed, sho has suffered snore; and that
was all I asked."
Her
heart grew hard and cold
again. She looked into the old hall;
nothing was ehnged. It might have
been only yesterday that she placed
the flowers she had gathered on the
11a11 table, and laughed at her own
Taney for calling herself a red rose.
She was glad to move away; she
had seen her old home, and the sight
of it had been like a searing iron to
her. She felt ill and tired; she
would go back to the hotel and par-
take of refreshment, and then she
would begin to make inquiries. She
would have to exorcise great cau-
tion, but she must know why she
had been sought, and what those ad-
vertisements meant.
She walked back to Deeping. In
the High Street she saw a fruit shop
whore some fine grapes and peaches
were for sale. She was thirsty and
faint from fatigue, and sho thought
that nothing would be more deli-
cious and refreshing than a bunch of
purple grapes, She went in to pur-
chase them, and sat down. There
was some little delay in serving her,
and, while she was thinking that
this would be a good opportunity to
ask a few questions without attract-
ing attention, a smart little pony
carriage stopped at the door, and a
beautiful girl in a blue dress de-
scended from it.

girl's face, and clung to the chair,
as though to prevent herself from
falling, It was Sir Karl's face un-
der another guise; there were Sir
Karl's clear blue eyes. There were
Itis clustering waves of hair, there
was his mouth, at once so gracious
arid proud. For a few moments it
was as though the sight had stricken
her dumb; Then the girl was by her
side, and a sweet silvery voice was
saying—
"I should like some of these nice
grapes, Mrs. Grey, for a sick woman
whorl I am going to see,"
The low voice was Sir Karl's, Tho
soft blue eyes glanced carelessly. but'
kindly at the bent figure in the black
dress. If each could have but known!
If some good spirit could have told
Gertrude that this was the woman
for whom she had sought, the wo-
man with whom rested the know-
ledge of her father's fate, what grief
and trouble might have been spared

She was nearer losing her senses and

She had seen Sir Earl's daughter,
the very apple of his eye, the pride
of his life, the little child whom he
had loved with a great, tender love.
And she was slaying at Lady Field-
en's. Was it this girl who wanted
her? Was that the solution of the
mystery?
She had a a

her inquiries. She had thought
of walking over to Scarsdale. As it
was in charge of servants, she
thought site might go over to the
house and see for herself the rooms
in which her hated rival had spent
the happiest hours of her Ole, and in
which her heart had been broken.
Bute sweet
face of Sir rKarl's ndaugh dauginto hter, had
not the strength. She wanted to
see the girl's face again.
She decided on going home and
resting; and then, when the shades
of evening fell, she.would make her
way to the Fielden Manor. Sho re-
membered the keeper's cottage; she
could call there under pretext of
having keeper's wife—she could inost her way, and that man-
neralk to perhaps learn something of what
was going on.
She lay down to rest, but she
could not sleep. Karl's daughter!
She must see her again. How cruel-
ly she had repulsed her! When the
gentle hands had touched her why
need she have shaken them off? Yet

ITIS GENEROUS EMPLOYER,
It has been said ; "Happy is the
man who has no relations, for he
shall have peace." At any rate, ft
not infrequently occurs that rela-
tives fail to come up to our legiti-
mate expectation in litany ways, and
do not always show their sense of
favors in the spirit one could desire.
A north of England tradesman re-
tired a few years ago, and handed
his business over to a nephew,
whom he naturally supposed would
continuo to carry 'it on and maintain
the continuity of the family in this
particular lino. Two years of the
business, however, seemed to satisfy
the young man, and an opportunity
to soil it to a syndicate was taken
advantage of, $150,000 odd, being
the purchase price.
The uncle was displeased, and did
not hesitate to express his senti-
nlents with regard to the matter.
Ilut the young man was suffering
from a sense of all -importance and
self-sufficiency, and he coolly told
