NEW SEILIAL STORY.
An American
But his father, unheeding the in-
terruption, went on—
' • "If Cecily is going to be trouble-
some about this young man, it might
be no bad thing to take her away al-
together for a bit. They have got
this shooting on a seven years' lease,
and I can't insist on the fellow's not
coming up every year to his own
shooting."
"Well, don't do anything in a
hurry," said his son. "An now I
must go and give orders about Dobb's
old boneshaker being sent back to
him."
`That reminds me," said his fath-
er. "I have promised Cecily that
she shall 'have a bicycle. I thought
that you might get her one. You
would know how to choose a good
machine."
"Pll see about it when I get back,"
said Haddis. "There were two lad-
ies riding bicycles just in front of
me as I came from the station for a-
bout a mile. I kept behind for the
pleasure of looking at them."
"Some of those dreadful tourists,
I suppose." said Lord Lochfinnan.
"The whole place is swarming with
them."
"Yes, I suppose they were touri'te.
But they were very smart -looking
ones. Ono was quite a young girl,
very pretty; the other—"
"You seem to 'have taken good
stock of •them," observed his father,
with a smile.
But Haddis, quite unabashed, re-
plied—
"I did. I let them ride in front of
me for some tine and then passed
thein. But then my ramshackle old
thing went to pieces, and so they
passed me again. This happened '
three times, so I hacl plenty of op-
portunities of looking at them, They
finally stopped at Miss Martin's
'Cyclists'.1i:st'—for tea, I suppose
--and I saw 110 more of them." I
"I wonder you dithrt stop et the 1
`Cycli.tr," Rest' for tea too!" said his
father sarca..tically.
"I diel think of doing so," L"e.ddS
admitted, with a rather shamefaced
smile, "but, after all, I didn't,"
' "It is a, well you didn't," said
Iced Lockftnetan. "If you go want-
ing to marry a strange woman you
have picked up in the road, as Cosily
wants to marry a strange man she -
has, picked up from no one knows
whore, it will be the last straw! I ,
shall tern you both out of doors —
and marry the cook myself!"
Haddis laughed.
"You needn't be afraid, dad. I -
sha'n't want to marry anybody for

a long time.. When I do I promise
you she shall be of irreproachabl
manners."
"Oh, manners!" exclaimed Lor
Lochfinnan. "There is no fault t
be found with Grandison's manners
I wish there were."
"I shall go out and inspect him
when I have given orders about the
bicycle," said Haddis. "And, as I
didn't have tea at the `Cyclists' Rest'
I may as well have some now."
He left the room whistling and
Lord Lochfinnan sat down for the
third time to his papers.
The private sitting -room of the
master of Haddis Castle was, for
some inscrutable reason, one of the
smallest rooms -in the house. When
Haddis emerged from it he was fn a
narrow passage whie'h led to a fine
old hall of noble proportions, with
oak -wainscoted walls and a carved
chimney -piece. A gallery ran along
one side of this hall; on the other an
archway led to a wing of the Castle
which contained the chief rooms,
But Haddis did not pass through this
archway. He rang the bell beside
the wide, fireplace, on the hearth of
i which Iay huge logs ready for kind-
' ling should the evening prove chilly
It waft answered by Quiller, the old
butler, who had been in the family
service before Haddis was born.
The old man gave an exclamation
of joy when he saw 'hie young mas-
ter.
„WhY, my lord!" he exclaimed.
"When did you come, and how did
you slip in so quitely that no one
knows you are here?"
"I came up from the station on a
bicycle borrowed from the etation-
nmasten," replied Haddis. "You look
as fit as a fiddle, 'Quiller. And, see
1'er, I want to have it sent back to
tho station at once 1 The old fallow
may watt it, I suppose my man and
luggage have not come yet?"
"No, my lord."
"All right. The thing that takes
the bicycle back can bring them it
conveyance has not been found
se
,re now."
The butler retired, and Haddis,
1,.., !ng through the archway, wont
nt
out tlu'ough a glass door which op-
ened of to the garden. But when
he turned the corner of the horse
and cline within sight of the cedar
Celily and Grandison were not to be
seen.
With a little exclamation of an-
noyance, Haddis crossed the lawn
and sat down in one of the wicker
chairs. Ile supposed they would
cone back, so he poured himself out
a cup of tea and waited. The tea was
overdrawn an'd cold, a fact which
tended to increase his irritation, Hewas unreasonably inclined to think
that it was Cecily's being in love
with the wrong man that caused the
tea to be bad. However, it was not
worth . while to send for more; he
would have to go back to the house
to ring for it, So ho drank a cup
al' mills instead and finished the
bread-and-butter.
Then he began to wonder if
Grandison and Cecily were coining
back, and where they could have
gone, The footman came out to
take away the tea -things. Haddis
lay back in his chair and watched him
and when ho was gone it occurred
to him that he would go and look
for the truants.
Fie went first into the garden. It
w
was a beautiful old place with a ro
of Irish yews along one side, against

which a long mixed border of Howe
Phnwed up brillinatly. But the t
he was seeking were not in the ga
den. Ho paused for a moment
admire his surroundings; he. 1!
Cr oily, loved his home, Then he w
delayed by the necessity of greeti
the gardener, who happened to ere
hie path. Haddis was adored by
the servants; he was always so cheo
and courteous.
When he left the garden he we
retold to the other side of the haus
where there: was a croquet law
Cechy was an adept at croquet; pos
ibly she and Grandison were p(ayin
But no sound of the click of bal
(tame to hien, and the lawn was u
tenanted, There were not even an
halls and mallets about to testify to
recent play.
"S'he must have gone down to the
river with him," he said to himself.
"Now, in the circumstances,, she
really ought not to have done that."
It was clear to Haddis that it was
ills duty to go after his 'sister. Ile
would also show thi fellow, Grandi-
son, by his manner what he thought
of his pretensions.
Accordingly he once more crossed
the lawn where stood the cedar -tree,
and entered a shrubbery walk on the
;tar side of it, which led by devious
turns to the river. Haddis distrusted
Itis father's ,powers of long denying
anything to 'Cecily if she once really
set her 'heart on it. Ile therefore
determined to exercise his own in-
fluence as her elder brother, and to
use a little more than influence in
hie dealings with the young man
should he not prove amenable to
reason.
But a good many things occurred
to delay Haddis on his way to the
river. First, he remembered that
he had not let out his favourite dog,
a big mastiff. which was so fierce
when he was away that no one dared
be responsible for leaving him at lib-
erty, but which was gentle as a lamb
in th epresence of his master. So he
wont back to the stables to fetch
him. And of course once in the
stables he found a number of things
to do and see. He had to examine
the new cob bis father had bought,
to give his opinion on a swelling on
the frock of Cecily's pony, and finally
to have a romp with the coachman's
childrens, who always appeared on
the scene when he came within a
guile o £their cottage. Half an hour
hacl therefore gone by when he once
more started on his way to the river.
When he reached the little stone
bridge that spanned the river and
also formed the boundary of Lord
Loc'hfinnan's private grounds on
that side of the house, the pair, if
they had been there, were gone.
Haddis looked across the field to the
right of the bridge, through which a
footpath led to the village, and saw
a matt walking leisurely along it.
The man was not a labourer or a
gamekeeper. Haddis decided that it
was the objectionable Grandison, but
he was too far off to lac overtaken.
Ifo thought he had better turn his at-
tention to finding his sister. •
There was another footpath
through the field to the left, which
presently entered a small wood of
firs and larches and wound round to
the pleasure -ground. Suro enough
there was Cecily taking this path.
Haddis lightly leaped the stile and

CHAPTER III .. ... .
When Cecily and Jack Grandison
had seated themselves under the
cedar after leaving Lord Lochfinnan
the young ratan lot .he calmness he
h:icl assumed, He jumped up from
the chair to which Cecily had mot-
ioned hint, end began to walk up and
dmvn excitedly declaring flint in
spite of everything and everybody
be would be Cccily's husband.
"£iii there was anything against
me!" he exclaimed. "But there is
nothing, I have never been given to
drinking or gambling, or doing any-
thing which unfits me to be your
husband. I am certainly poor, but
1 will work. I will become rich for
your sake, my darling!"
. "Sit down and don't be a goose!" •
responded Cecily, "Now," she went
on, as he once more threw himself
into a chair by her side., "tell me how
is it that you have never worked be-
fore, that you have no profession?"
"I never wanted to' make money
before," he answered candidly. "I
have five hundred a year of my awn,
and I never wanted more. I lame
tried various things---gold-prospect-
leg in South Africa, sheep -farming;
in Australia, (settle. -ranching in Am-
erica; so you see I can work."
Cecily amilecl.
"It might be as well, -I think, not
to toll father of a111 these things you '
Mee tried —•- stud apparently failed

He jumped up and began his rest-
less walk once more.

The drowsy, fatigued condition that
usually goes with constipation is a serious
handicap. Overcome it. Be healthy by
taking "Fruit-a-tives". Read this letter:
Maxvllle, Ont,—"Tho results are mar-

—Mr. Donald Duperron.
"Fruit -a -ti, es" is the intensified juices
of ripe, fres fruit, blended with stimu-
lating tonics. It is the stoutest natural
foe of constipation. Gentle, natural and
positive in its action, it builds the sys-
tem to function properly without the
constant use of laxatives, 25c and 50c at
all druggists. Try it—to-day. ty
them suited me, and I didn't care to
go on with them. If I had had you
waiting for me Eben I should have
stuck to them fast enough. I assure
you."
"1 believe you would," she an-
Swered soothingly. "But I am not
sure that father would believe it.
So you had better merely say when
you talk to him that, as you never
wanted more money for yourself
than you had, you did not
cure to go in for making it."
"But I believe it is not only, the
money. He doesn't think I am good
enough for you," said Jack.
' "Oh, well, of course he would like
to know who your relatives, are!
You can tell him that, I suppose?"
"My father was a general in the
Indian Army. My mother was a
' clergyman's daughter. Do you think
ho will consider that good enough?"
"I think it quite good enough,"
replied Cosily; "and if you can only
get an income sufficient to keep me
I will take care that he thinks so
too."
"And what do you suppose 'ho will
consider a sufficient income?" asked
Jack gloomily.
"I don't know, but I won't allow
him to be too exacting," said Cecily.
"Now do sit down like a dear boy!"
IIe sat down once more and
stretched out his hand to take hers.
"If you assure me that you love
me and will wait for me," he said,
"I can pat up with anything,"
She drew her hand away with a
smile.
"Remember," she told hint, "there
•
p
ering.,,
"What on earth does your father
mean by philandering?" he cried ir-
ritably. "Does he suppose I ant such
a cad as to kiss you before all the
windows?"
(Smiler laughed.
"He means at any rate that we
are not to sit hand in hand either in
sight of the windows or out of sight
of them. Do you know, Jack, that
I think you ought to go now? You
have finished your tea, and father
will not like it if you stay too long."
"Why, I haven't been here tell
minutes!" he cried in aggrieved ac-
cents. e
"it is ,lust half. an 'hour," she re-
plied. "Come, dearest, there is no
use snaking hint angry to begin with!
Be reasonable."
"Well, walk down to the bridge
with Inc l"
She hesitated; but, as, seeing hue
hesitation, he declared he would not
go away at all if she would not grant
him at least this small favour, she
finally consented, and they entered
the shrubbery walk which led to
;the river, whence he could reach the
village, where he had arranged to
moot one of his friends who was
fishing, so that they might drive
home together.
"I want you to be very quiet and
reasonable, darling," Cosily saki, as
they walked, "when yon do have

your Interview with my father."
"Good heavens! Wasi't I quiet
end reasonable, toclay?" he demand-
ed.
"Yes, indeed you wore. But you
were not given 1110011 time to lase
your temper! And when father be-
gins to subject you to a erose-exam-
Ma,t!ar and perhaps flnriily tells you
that 110 will never consent why—"
"You seem to have so poor an
opinion of me," Jack cried petulant-
ly, "that I think perhaps I had bet-
ter not demand an interview at all,
but go straight away and never come
back!"
"Don't be foolish, dear Jack!"
she said soothingly. She slipped her
hand within his arm, and did not re-
bt'ke him when he stooped and kiss-
ed it. "But of course I am very anx-
ious that you should make as good
an impression as possible. And, you
know, when you let yourself get ex-
isted you might not always make
quite as good an impression on those
who do not know you as well as I
do."
Lord Lochfinnan would have won-
dered how his daughter came to
know this young man's character so
well. He might also have reflected
that it was an augury for the
strength and endurance of her love
fur him that she was so little blind
to hie failings.
"'You are an angel!" cried the
young man, and kissed her eyes this
time,
"Conte now, dearest, no more of
that!" she said, and withdrew her
hand from his arm; whereupon he
sulked a little and declined to speak
except in monosyllables until they
came within sight of the river.
Then he recovered and apologised
for his childish humour with such
childlike sweetness :the Cecily said to
herself that no one who knew him
as well as she did could help loving
him. Then she bade him say "Good -
'
bye" and go. But, though he said
"Good-bye," he did not go, and
nearly half an hour elapsed before
!she finally braced herself to leaving
him, since he would not leave her.
She blew him a kiss from the tips
of her fingers, climbed over the stile,
and walked away without looking
back.
Left alone, Jack grumbled a little,
a
rid then with a sigh went his way to
the village.
Cecily walked briskly until she
thought her lover would have start-
ed; glancing back and seeing that he
had done so, she slackened her pace.
Though only nineteen years old, she
was endowed with considerable com-
mon sense and self-reliance. She
knew very well that her father would

(would contrive somehow or another
to auguntent his income, but she un-
derstood him well enough to le,alieo
that it was extremely improbable.
She saw a long perioa or waituee be-
fore her, but wait she was reeeneel

would not marry Jaek without her
father's (torment, but she would hold
herself engaged to him, no (natter
what anybody might say. As she
came to this resolution the tears be-
gan to steal down her cheeks. She
knew it was very difficult and Jack
would suffer so. Her tears were for
Jack rather than for herself.
She stopped to wipe her tears a-
way, and as she did so Boris, Haddis's
big mastiff, bounded up and put his
paws on her shoulder from behind.
A more timid woman would pro-
bably have screamed, but Cecily was
not given to nerves, and she instant-
'ly knew what it was. She was not
afraid of Boris.
"Oh, Boris! Who let you out?"
she said as she fearlessly caressed
him.
The dog. as if he understood the
question, bounded back towards his
master, and Cecily recognized her
brother. A gleam of pleasure came
into her face. She ran back to meet
him and exclaimed, as every one
else at home had done, at his unex-
pected appearance, He explained as
he kissed her, and they walked on
together. But, glancing at her face,
he saw the signs of recent tears.
They gave him the opening he desir-
ed, while at the same time they made
him 'very angry. He was very fond
of hes sister, and felt furious with
the man who had come to disturb her
peace.
"Why, Cecily," Ire said gently,
"you have been crying?"
;Cecily blushed hotly.
"Oh, it's nothing!" she answered
quickly.
"It must be something that makes
you cry!" he insisted. "You are
not given to idle tears."
"Well, never mind what it 1s1"
said Cecily. Then a thought struck
hes. "You have seen father?" she
asked.
