When they were halfway up the
avenue the Doctor overtook them in
his dog -cant, and, throwing the reins
to the groom, jumped down and join -
the procession. After glancing at
T.ilith, and bidding her not trouble
herself, as he would not bother her
wibh questions or examination till
they reached the house, he went on
and took the burden of entertaining
Mrs. Mansfield off Lord Lochfinnan's
shoulders by beginning to ask the
.American lady particulars of her
stepdaughter's accident.
When they reached the house they
found Cecily waiting for them on
the steps.
Doctor Meade now took command
of the carrying -chair, its occupant,
and its bearers.
"Will you lead the way, Lady
Cecily?" he said; and Lord Loch -
finnan and his son fell back.
"I had he blue -room and dressing
room and the pink -room prepared,"
explained .Lady Cecily to Doctor
Meade as she led the way upstairs,
while Mrs. Mansfield followed behind
her stepdaughter. "They all three
communicate with each other, and
so they would be most suitable."
"You have always a good head on
your shoulders," replied the Doctor
approvingly.
The pink -room, into which Lilith
was now carried was a pleasant
medium-sized room with a pretty
e, brass bedstead, a pink wallpaper,
and flowered chintzes. It looked
more modern than the adjoining
blue -roost and dressing -room which
Cocily showed her guest and which,
though also charming in its way,
with its old-fashioned mahogany
four -post bed, quaint willow -pattern
china chinitz, and old Chippendale
presses, looked far more in keep-
ing with the old hall downstairs.
Having shown Mrs. Mansfield the
rooms and summoned the head house
maid, to whom she gave directions
that she was to set aside all her oth-
er work to attend to this set of rooms
Cecily retired and sent her own maid
to give Doctor Meade weiat further
help he might require he his attend-
ance on the patient.
She went downstairs and found
her father waiting in the drawing -
room to hear the Doctor's report.
Mr. Scott, who had gone home to
dress for dinner by another route
titan by the main gate, now arrived.
He had heard rumours of what had
happened, and when the circumstan
ces had been explained to him he
shook his head as disapprovingly as
Quiller had done, and expressed his

"Pooh, pooh! My dear Scott!" said
Lord Lochfinnan. "She is a very
handsome woman, and undeniably a
lady."
"I should prefer to hear she was
not a lady at all, and very plain," an-
swered Mr. Scott, smiling, "I have
no faith in these handsome American
women who roam about the world
with no visible belongings."
"She has a daughter, a very
pretty daughter," said Haddis, "and
a maid whom we have telegraphed
for. What more do you want?"
"Has she got a husband?" inquir-
ed Mr. Scott.
"We didn't ask her that," said
Cecily, laughing. "She has got a
wedding -ring, and, moreover, as she
has a stepdaughter, it is clear that
she has or must have had at some
time a husband. Possibly she is a
widow."
"I distrust that kind of widow,"
insisted Mr. Scott; but he spoke half
jocosely.
Soon afterwards Doctor Meade
came down and reported that Miss
Mansfield's injuries were in no way
serious, but that it would not be ad-
visable to move her the next day,
as Mrs, Mansfield was anxious to do.
"It is a simple fracture," explain-
ed the Doctor, "and the ankle is not
broken, only severely strained. But
she is rather a delicate girl, and more
rare is necessary with her than would
be the case with her stepmother,
for instance."
"You need have no fear, Doctor,"
said Lord Lochfinnan, "We will not
let Thor leave this house until you
pronounce it desirablethat she
should go."
"I don't think you will induce
Mrs. Mansfield to stay as long as
that." replied the Doctor.
"Oh, we will see about that!" said
Lord Lochfinnan. "You must stay
and dirge, Doctor. I am going up to
dress now. Cecily, go and find out
if Nike. Mansfield will come down to
dinner, or if she would prefer to
'nave her dinner sent upstairs."
Cecily accordingly went and
knocked at the door of the him: -
room. On being !bidden to enter she
went in and found Mrs. Mansfield
occupied with her toilet. She re-
plied to Cecily's question without a
moment's hesitation.
"Of course I will come down!
Doctor Meade has given Lilith a com-
posing drauglht. She will sleep, and
not want me." She paused a mom-
ent and then added, "But I wonder
if you could lend me something to
wear? I have only this dusty gar-
ment."
"I shall be delighted to lend you
anything!" answered Cecily, though
she looked rather doubtfully at her
guest's fine figure. Cecily was nearl-
ly as tall as Mrs. Mansfield, but she
was of a more slender build and had
the elienness of may youth.
Mrs. Mansfield rightly interpreted
tine glance and laughed.
"You are thinking," she said "that
I sihould not find it easy to get into
your clothes; but you don't know
what a gift I have for adaption, May
I come to your room and see?"
She followed Cosily to hot bed-
room, and Cecily': maid brought out
her young mistress's wardrobe for
the inspector of the visitor.
Mrs. Mansfield chose a wlhite silk
skdtt and a white embroidered crepe
tto Chine shawl, together with an
antique silver belt, '

When she appeared in the drawing
room twenty minutes later Cecily A$.acked by
„av s'hn had certainly made good
star Least that elle had a gift for a-
dapting other people's clothes to her
own purpose. She had so draped the
shawl about her shoulders, confining
!t. at .the waist with the silver belt,
that it formed a very graceful bod-
ice, falling in folds over the white
skirt and leaving her beautiful arms
bare from the shoulder.
Lord Lochfinnan rose and advanc-
ed to meet his guest with a com-
pliment on her punctuality.
"My daughter is not clown yet,"
he said.
"Ali!" said Mrs, Mansfield. "That
is niy fault, I fear,"
But even es she spoke Cecily en-
tered, and Lord Lochfinnan led Mrs.
Mansfield into the dining -room.
CHAPTER VI.
Mrs. Mansfield admired the dining -
room, with its old oak, its tapestry,
its family portraits.
"I do like the oldness of every-
thing in England," she observed,
looking around with approving eyes.
"But," she added noticing the Tur-
key carpet, which had obviously seen
its best days though, equally obvious-
ly, it had been of superlative quality
in those best days, "I think you over-
do it in some things. I should cer-

could see in the dim light the glow

stood talking. Cecily could just

After dinner she went upstairs to
see her stepdaughter, and so bade
good night to her hosts, saying tiltat
she must let the staid go down to
her supper, and that she would not
come down again if they would ex-
cuse her.
Doctor Meade was easily persuad-
ed to stay to make a fourth for
bridge. and soon atter, when the
four men were settled down to this,
Cecily too betook herself to bed,
with the excuse that she was tired.
Before going to her own room she
stopped at Mrs. Mansfield to inquire
if her guests had all they wanted
for the night.
The American greeted her cordial-
ly.

The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
upkeep. of the itntitutions in such towns are in the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith. Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tions and undertakings no town could thrive.
Who is °`fainly Affected
Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good
cause which nnay be promoted, either by financial or active
support, Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
P,:s'blicity is Rcquir
In promotion work yon' local paper takes the leading part.

and patriotic amdertakings. But to function properly, and
