She looked gravely into Lord Lochfinnan's facu, "1 bullusr. you are sincere," she said slowly. "1 ant sitheure!" said ',aril Loch - thins' eagerly. She shook her heart and began to walk up the p1 atfoon, Lord Loch - finnan keeping pace beside her. "I like you, Lord Lochfinnan," she said quietly. "I won't deny that, if 1 could have you and my money Ino, I would consider your proposal; but I tell you candidly that I am too old to be romantic. .1 have been ac- customed for many years to have every luxury that money can buy, and I have known what it is to pinch and save to keep up appearance. I have become unfitted for pinching and saving. No, I am very grateful to you for the honour you have done me. I shall always think of you as of a very good friend, but I will riot marry you." There was a moment's silence. Lord Lochfinnan could at first find nothing to say in the face of so frank a declaration; but after a pause he said - "I cannot urge you to give up your fortune for my sake if your heart does not bid you do it. But I too shall always think of you as a friend. I trust we shall often meet as such." "I think not," she said quickly. "Our paths in life are likely to lie far apart. It would be best for ns all that I them cross again." He was about to answer when the porter beckoned to them that it was time for Mrs. Mansfield to take her seat, so they hurried back without another word. In the meantime Haddis had been making the most of his opportunities, He did not indeed go as far as his father had done, because he feared to lose all by risking too much, but he produced his pocket -book and show- ed the eight marks which represent- ed the eight times he and Lilith had met, and announced his intention of being in London very soon. Lilith sighed. "I don't know if you will find us there," she said. "Mrs. Maisie never stays long in any hotel." "But I suppose you can lat me know your change of address?" "I don't know," she murmured. "4 think Mrs. Maisie does not much want to -to see any of you again." "But why?" cried Haddis, his van- ity piqued by this atittude of hostil- ity. Lilith made no answer. "But you could send me a line?" he suggested. "I thought American girls always did as they likd." "I don't!" sho answered naively. Then with a sudden flush she added quickly, "Mrs. Maisie is very good to me, and I could not do anything that would displease her." "But you will write to Cechy sometimes?" "She didn't ask me to," replied Lilith. "Well, you can ask her to write to you," in' said. • But she only shook her head. "How can 1 if she doeut't want me to write to her?"

At this moment Cecily joined thein with a magazine in her hand. A. nunnent later Mrs. Mansfield came hurrying up. The last good- hys were spoken hastily, and in an- other minute the train had steamed out of the station, leaving two rather heavy hearts behind and perhaps carrying two rather heavy hearts a- way with it. "I am going to walk home," said Haddis abruptly, when they had watched the train disappear round a curve. Nobody disputed his deteimin a - tion, although it was a long walk, and Haddis like most sportsmen was lazy about walking when he had not O gun in his hand, The father and daughter got into the omnibus Which has convoyed them to the station.

Cecily was startled; she had been so deep in a reverie that she had al- most forgotten where she was. "Father!" she cried. "Why," "Because I think it is better, There fa no woman in th house now to chaperon you properly. I suppose he will have to come downstairs oc- casionally -and it is better. Cecily was silent for a moment; then she said - "Father, you promised to hear what Jack had to say. You cannot break that promise." "Certainly I shall hear him if he insists on being heard," said Lord Lochfinnan, "but nothing he can say • will alter my determination. And it is very inadvisable that you should meet again." Cecily opened her lips as if to speak, but she closed them again and left what she had meant to say un - tittered. Lord Lochfinnan relapsed into sil- ence. He had not once seen Jack Grandison since the accident - he had rather shrunk from' seeing him but now that Mrs. Mansfield, who had paid the invalid so much attention. had gone he felt that in common courtesy he could no longer avoid going to inquire how he felt and to express his own regret that he should have met with such an accident. But he knew well enough that the con- versation between him and his would- be son-in-law could not be confined to such secondary subjects. As soon as the carriage reached the Castle Cicely went out to see Mrs. Scott and tell her what Lord Lochfinnan proposed.. "I am sorry, my dear child," said Mrs. Scott playfully, "that you look upon it ,as such a hardship to stay here for a couple of days," Cechy did not heed the little jest. "Father has no right to do it!" she cried. "If he treats ma as if I were not to be trusted I shall act accordingly. I shall take pleasure in getting the better of him." "No, you will not, my dearest!" said Mrs. Scott soothingly. Cecily sat looking rather like a naughty child. At length she sttql-. "The Mansfields left the Castle this morning. Haddis has fallen in love with Lilith." "Ah!" said Mrs, Scott, to whom this was news. "And has Miss Mans- field fallen in love with him?" "Yes," answered Cecily readily. "I think she has." "What does Lord Loehfinnan say to it?" asked Mrs. Scott. "Oh, father hasn't found it out yet! I don't suppose he will abject. She has money; and money seems to be the only thing necessary to hap- piness in marriage," she added bit- terly. Mrs. Scott lay back on her pillows and looked at her young friend. Evidently Cechy had not made the discovery that she fancied herself to have made the clay Lord Lochfiin- non brought Mrs. Mansfield to see her. Cechy would most certainly have spoken of it had such an idea entered her head. "Do you like the Mensfields?" Mrs. Scott asked at length, "011, yes!" replied Cecily careless- ly.

Mrs, Scott did not think it worth while to contradict this statement. Instead she proeeeded to answer all the questions Cecily put to her as to servants' wagi•s, for a tiny house, ; the cost of washing, and the grocer's bial. She wisely reflected that it was certainly. well Cecily should know these things if she ever were to marry jack Grandison. and that it would not do her any harm to know them even if she were destined to marry a millionaire. And, while Cecily was making pre- parations for managing Jack Grandi- son'S income for him, Lord Lochfin- nan was interviewing Jack and in- forming him sternly end decidedly that he would never give his consent to Cecily's marrying him. CHAPTER XI The interview between Lord Lochs Annan and Jack had been some- what stormy one. Lord Lochfinnan, on his return from the station after seeing the Mansftelds off, had thought it would be a good oppor- tunity to pay his long -deferred visit to his other uninvited guest. He knew that Cecily was safely out of the way. Without delay he therefore mount- ed the stairs to the room which was Haddis's, though Jack still occupied it. On knocking at the door and hearing a rather petulant "Conde in!" he entered. Jack was up today for 'he first Vine, and like most convalescents was rather cross and bored. Ha was already tired and beginning to won- der when he would be 'Permitted to return to bed, but Lord Loehfinnan's entrance completely changed the current of his thoughts. He rose hurriedly from the armchair near the window, and looked at his visitor with an expression of :Minster' sus - prise pleasure, and embarrassment. "I have been a long time coming to see you," said Lord Lochfinnan, 8 advancing to meet him "but I fan - WEDNESDAY, JUNE ifith, 192L vied that you would not be hem., for so many visitora, and Ms,.

"You have no need to thank me," replied Lord Lochfinnan. "Since my son nearly killed you, I could do no less than endeavor to bring you to life again. And that brings me to the point. What were you doing in my grounds at that hour of the night?" Lord Lochfinnan knew very well what Jack had been doing, but he thought this as good a way as any other of approaching his subject. Jack blushed like a girl. "If you remember, Lord Lochfin- nan," he said, "you had promised me that afternoon an interview." "I remember well enough," said Lord Lochfinnan rather grimly. "In fact it is because I remember that I am here. I want to get this foolish affair over and forgotten. It would be better for you if you would waive your right to discuss it with me."
