"I am not going to lose sight of
you again like this," he said in a
hurried understone. "Promise you
will at least always keep nye inform-
ed of where you are? I don't ask
more than this.”
She looked at hint a little hesitat-
ingly.
"I promise," she half whispered.
When the two ladies were gone
IIaddis and Jack went out into the
street together. For a few minutes
they walked in silence. Jack was
asking himself what possessed him
to assume thus a semblance of
friendship for a man who was act-
ively his enemy. Haddis was reflect-
ing that it was rather mean to ex -
pec,; a man whose wishes he had op-
posed, and would continue to op-
pose so energetically, to help him.
But his desire to know more of
Lilith's life was too strong to be
combated by any consideration. He
began—
"Miss Mansfield tells me you;
have become secretary to her moth-
er?"
"Yes," said Jack,' and then some-
thing prompted him to add, "And
Mrs. Mansfield would like me to be-
come her son-in-law."
"Ahl" cried Haddis sharply. "It
would be a very good marriage for
you," he added.
"You have no right to say that
to ate!" exclaimed Jack. "I am en-
gaged to your sister, bu'c, if I were
not, certainly you have no right to
object to my failling in with Mrs.
Mansfield's wishes."
Haddis considered a moment; then
he said suddenly—
"Look here! Let us speak frank-
ly. I love Miss Mansfield, and you
might suppose that if I,could win her
heart I should have no difficulty in
winning the mother's consent. But
it is the other way round. I— I
think—well, I think I could in time
win Miss Mansfield; but it is Mrs.
Mansfield's consent I am doubtful
of." •
"You may well ,be," observed Jack
dryly. "I suppose Miss Mansefild has
given you 'their addrese 'tonight, but
I am prepared to assert that to-inor-
TOW will find them at the other end
of London, if not out of London al-
together."
"But why?" asked Haddis.
"Alb, that I canoe tell you! But
it is so. Mrs. Mansfield objects as
strongly to your marrying her step-
daughter as—as you object to my
marrying your sister, and I confess
with apparently less treason,"
Haddis did not speak for a minute.

At length he said—
"As you are always wich them,
you could—you could at least—"
"I could help you to woo the young
lady," finished Jack, "I could not
doubt, but why should I? Why
should 1 help you?"
"Your reproach is just," said
Haddis. "Perhaps—" }Ie stopped;
he could not quite bring himself to
use Ceeily as a means to his end.
"Perhaps you could give up oppos-
ing mine," said Jack. He laughed
rather sardonically, btic went on in a
somewhat graved tone, "I cannot
live in Mrs, Mansfield's house, and
be in ,her employ, and scheme behind
her back to bring about what I know
she desires to avoid. No, you must
win the lady for yourself; and re-
member that Miss Mansfield is of dif-
ferent stuff from Lady Cecily. She
will never have the courage to defy
her stepmother. You will have to
clo it all."
They had now reached the door of
Jack's lodging, and he paused to 'say
"Good night." But when the two
young men parted eaoh felt that the
other would do all he honourably
could to help him,
The following morning when Jack
entered Mrs. Mansfield's sitting room
that lady greeted him with the in-
formation that he expected—that sho
meant to leave this hotel and go to
another.
"I don't mean to have Lord Had-
dis coming to see Lilith!" she said de-
cidedly. "I would go today, but the
child has contrived to catch cold, and
I don't like 'co move her till she has
got rid of it, However, if Lord Had-
dis calls today he won't see her, as
she is in bed."
"Tell me," said Jack boldic—"why
are you so set against Lord Haddis?"
Mrs. Mansfield looked at the young
man in silence for some moments.
She was, as usual, sitting at her
writing -table, and she played with a
paper -knife that was lying close to
her hand before answering, At length
she said—
"Would you be pleased to see Lord
Haddis married to Lilibh?"
"Yes," he said resolutely, though
he felt himself colouring a little,
knowing what was in her mind. "I
think Lord Haddis would make her
an excellent husband."
"I would prefer that she married
you," said Mrs. Mansfield.
Jack was rather dismayed by the
boldness of this attack, but he re -
Plied with great gravity—
"Miss Mansfield would not marry
ore if I asked her. She knows, and'
you know, that I never shall ask her.
My heart is irrevocably given to an-
other woman."
Mrs, Mansfield sighed.
"Well," she said, "I can't of course
control your affections. 'In regard to
Lilith, you understand I am not
throwing her at your head. There is
no need to do that—she has' plenty
of admirer's; but, though I will never
force her inclinations, I shall certain-
ly do my best to prevent her from
having the chance of :falling in love
with Lord Haddis,"
`'Are you surd it is not too late
to prevent that?" suggested Jack.
Mrs. Mansfield treated this sug-
gestion with scorn. She contented
herself with laying her commands on
Jack not to help. Lord Haddis to trace
'chem to their next resting place,
Iladelis called that afternoon, and
Mrs. Mansfield received him with

Hadclis 'cook the hint, and bade her
good-bye without further argument.
During the next two or three days,
though he wrote several notes to
Lilith, he received no answers to any
of them. He suspected that Mrs.
Mansfield intercepted them. And
this indeed was the case. But during
those two or three days Lilith was
somewhat seriously ill. Her cold had
developed into a rather acute attack
of bronchitis. Jack true to his prin-
ciples, refused to convey messages
from Haddis tb Lilith, but he kept
Haddis informed of the girl's health,
and endeavoured to comfort him in
his uncertainty and anxiety.
When Lilith recovered sufficiently
to come downstairs Mrs. Mansfield
kept Haddis away by the simple ex-
pedient of saying "Not at home" to
all but a small number of persons
whose names she supplied the waiter.
Jack came and went; but though
he saw how Lilith's pulses fluttered
every time a visitor was announced
and her disappointment every time
the visitor proved to be not Lord
Haddis, he said nothing. He would
not ac's the part of a go-between be-
hind Mrs. Mansfield's back,
One day however pity for the girl
prompted him to say in Mrs. Mans-
field's presence—
"Hasn't Lord' Haddis been to see
you yet?"
Mrs. Mansfield gave him a look of
reproach which he would not meet,
and Lilith said—
"No. Is he still in London?"
"Dear me, yes!" replied Jack, with
an admirable assumption of in-
nocence. "He is always coming here
to inquire, and asking me when I
meet hien how you are."
"1 do not think it is good for Lilith
to see too many visitors," said Mrs.
Mansfield coldly. "And Lord Haddis
is such a stere acquaintance,"
"Poor fellow!" said Jack. "It is
rather cruel to exclude him. He
does not seen to look upon himself
in the light of a mere acquaintance."
Then, rather frightened at his own
temerity, Jack took his leave.
When he was gone Lilith lay silent
on her sofa. Mrs. Mansfield glanced
at her once or twice, and noticed that
her face was turned away and that
she was surreptitiously putting her
pocket -handkerchief 'co her eyes.

Lilith .said nothing. 1n truth, by
this time she was crying so bitterly
that she could not speak withou'c be-

Mrs. Mansfield rose and gently laid
her hand on her head,
"You are a little over -tired, darl-

Iiut in her heart she; resolved to
start for the Riviera as soon as it
was safe for the girl to travel. The
doctors haul told her that Lilith re-
quired care, -though there was noth-
ing organically wrong with her.
Therefore, with her usual energy,
she arranged to rent a villa at lior-
dighe a and take her stepdaughter
turd secretary thither a, soon as pas-
sible.
Chaisturas had come and game• how-
ever before the start could be made.
and during those days she had hard
work to prevent Lilith from pouring
nut her heart to her on the subject
of Lord Haddis. Lilith was accus-
tomed to confide in her stepmother,
and even the suspicion that her step-
mother was plotting against her hap-
pine.es in this instance was scarcely
enough to prevent her from -telling
her the whole story as far as it had
gone. But Mrs. Mansfield would not
hear story. She did not want to
know Lilith loved Lord Haddis.

CHAPTER XIV
While these events were taking
place in London Cecily was possess-
ing her soul in patience at Haddis
Castle. She had given her father her
promise .that she would hold no comms
munication with Jack unknown to
him, and, as she was a young lady
given to keeping her promises, she
resisted the temptation to answer the
letters he from 'time to time sent
her. Stili, the fact that she receiv-
ed these letters kept her informed of
where he was and what he was doing.
She knew therefore that he had be-
come secretary 'co Mrs. Mansfield; but
after he had sent that piece of in-
formation his letters ceased.
Cecily was not made anxious by
this. She trusted him utterly, and
took it for granted that he wrote no
more because her silence told him
she did not wish hint to write. She
would not have been human if she
had not secretly wished that he had
been less mindful of her wishes; yet
ili another way she was glad. She
had always felt a sense of deceitful-
ness when she had received one of
these le'ctere.
Though she obeyed her father, she
made hien feel the weight of her dis-
pleasure at his having exacted such
obedience. She spoke to him with
due respectfulness, but she spoke to
him as little as possible. She declin-
ed to take any pleasure in any a-
musement he provided for her. She
,had no intention of letting ]rim think
that site was happy and contented
and likely to forget Jack Grandison.
In truth, she was not likely ever
to forget him. His fpce and voice
haunted her waking hours; her first
thought in the mornnig and her last
at night were of him. She was
strongly convinced that for all his
efforts at phoney -staking he would
never be anything but a poor than,
and' she therefore with great eager-
ness set about preparing herself for
the position of a poor man's wife..
She n'iade her own dresses, much to
the ,astonishlnent and disgust of her
maid. She told ihetself 'chat when
she married Tack she would have to
make her own clothes for economy's
sake, so that it was desirable that
she should learn at once.
Unfortunately site had no 'talent
for dressmaking, ,ttnd the ganments,
when lnado, were of a cut and fit
marvellous to behold. Nevertheless
site persevered, and also insisted on
wearing these productions of her own
s1c!11, oe rother want of it, in spite
of the remonstrances of Mrs, Scott,
who pointed out to her 'chat, though
it was very sensible to learn to make
dresses, it would bo time enough to
wear self-made gowns when she was
Jack's wife and had nothing else to
wear. Cocily replied gravely to this
argument that site wished to accus-
tom herself betimes to the disagree-
able sensation of wearing ill -made
clothes.
But this branch of economy was

Completely ignorant of the value of
money, she was nevertheless convin-
ced that economy was an ort that
could be applied to every hing. She
therefore left off having a tire in
her bedroom at eight in order tr,
'harden herself for the hardships she
believed to be in store for her. She
then took to cold baths, in the belief
that hot water was a luxury and an
cxtravagenrc'. She tried the experi-
fueet of hew little food she could
subsist on, whereat her father be-
came rather uneasy. He wondered
if it were possible that she was pin-
ing away for love of Jack Grandison,
He went to consult !'Its. Scott on the
subject, but 311'O. Scott, who knew all
about it, only laughed.
"Leave her alone, she said. "She.
is trying experiments, I have no !
doubt if you were to ask her she
would tell you what they are."
So Lord l,ochfinnan that night at
dinner when he noticed that his
daughter refused soup, entree and
mutton, and ate only potatoes and a
little rice -pudding, said—
"My dear child, are you trying
the experiment of reducing your
food to a crumb a day?"
eerily looked up at him. She i i

with not much more discretion we.:

He arrived finally at the conclusion
that it would be wise to break up hie
establishment, shut up the house, and
go abroad for a year or two.
Possibly this conclusion was partly
induced by the mental discomfort
that his daughter's attitude inflicted
on him, Life alone with a daugh-
ter who used to be devoted to hint
and now kept him ostentutiously at i
arm's length was very unpleasant to
a man who loved sunshine and affect -

more, but sat looking at his daugh-
ter with an air of examining some-
thing new and interesting. Then he
added, "All I advise you is not to
overdo ic, or you may be dead of in-
anition before the 'poor man' come=
to claim you."
Ceeify received this remark in
scornful silence; but she went on
with her experiments with renewed
vigour. She never sat down to lunch

which were the most inexpensive
dishes and partaking of them in pre-
ference to any others. Her estimate

What Makes a Town ?
A prosperous rural population which demands a community
centre where may be established business, educational, reiig-
tous and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish and
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that secti.in
realize and appreciate the value to then of such a centre.
What Maintains It ?
The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
liut the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
up -keep. of the institutions 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 Mainly 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 may be promoted, either by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
Publicity is ""equired
In promotion work your local paper takes tete leading part.
It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic
and patriotic undertakings, But to' function properly, and
fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the
financial support of the community it serves. When needing
