Father aoareel a put the remark in the

face of a difficulty for which he was not
prepared. Yet he made haste to answer,
for Dorothy's vouutn was emphatically a
young woman who could not be ignored.

Esther, quietly.commendable.
"Dorothy, my dear,'"the remarked ossa-

Dorothy heard acme tone of her cousin's
voice which ret her nerves quivering.
"Bather, dear, it will be cleared up."
"Yee, yen, dear," said Eetker,eoobhing1y,
But, all the same, she had little faith 1,1
that, She had set herself to try. and find
Richard Harrah out,and'sha had found that
there was not an officer of that name
quartered at Madras.. Dorothy had spoken
of a good appointment and of Dick as a
soldier; but there was no•trace of him to be
found. Out of a desire to spare her cousin
until the was stronger, Esther kept this to
herself, but her faith in a happy ending to
all this mystery was very, very small.
