(Ali rights Reserved) !iiifr, z. a� • � Moreover, though he was no long- er a young man, and told himself that is was absurd to indulge in senti- ment over any woman, it was an un- deniable fact that the .American wid- ow had made a deep impression on him and that her rejection of his suit had cut rather deeply. ' Altogether Lord Lochfinnan was in a mood to seek "fresh fresh woods and pastures new," Pernaps in totally different surroundings both he and his daughter ht mi er ht 1 g g ern to forget. a g t. The question was where to go. In other circumstances he would have t consulted Cecily; but Cecily gave him no encouragement to consult her nowadays. When he suggested the y project to her she merely said in- h differently that she did not care. e One place was as good as another. c . What she thought was that, parted from Jack, she did not care two straws where she was, and that ec- onomy could be practised as well on p the Riviera as at Haddis Castle. b Repulsed by his daughter, Lord d Lochfinnan went, as usual, to the family counsellor, Mrs. Scott, who t gave all her mind do helping. She b too thought it would be a good thing c for them to go abroad. d "Though," she added' rather wist- h fully, "it is against my interests to say so. I miss you and Cecily so n much when you are away." S Mr. Scott also thought the project m a wise one, and so, after writing to 0 Haddis and receiving from. him a d cordial assent to anything that his a father chose to think for the family benefit, Lord Lochfinnan proceeded d to make all the necessary arrange- e men'cs. It was decided to let Had- w dis Castle for two leers. A tenant sp would be easily found, for the shoot- d ing and fishing were very good. di Thus, one morning at the begin- si Hing of December Lord Loohfinnan said to his daughter as they sat at so breakfast k "There is, I hear, a charming, quiet it little place on the Italian Riviera called 'Alassio,' where I propose we fr should migrate to as soon as you can pack up your trunks." as Cecily was absorbed in the cal- ou culation of how many days in the fi week she ought to allow - herself an bu egg for breakfast, and merely glans- lu ed up from her plate of porridge er when her father spoke. re "I can be ready in two days if you at wish it," she replied indifferently. "You will scarcely get all the G things put away and the house pre- ou pared for a two years' tenancy by th strangers in such a short time as two th th wi w ed ati days," answerer! her father rather ritably. "You had better say exactly day you wish to start," replied Cec "and then I will make arrangeme accordingly." "Then we will say the fifteenth December," said Lord Lochfinn and Cecily acquiesced. mesce q d. Though the girl had expressed much indifference, and had ind believed herself to feel it, she fou herself growing very sad when begun in earnest to prepare for le ng her beloved home for two year Would she ever come back to She wondered. If within those t ears she married Jack, and he to er away to the Colonies which se d to be the only places where mon o'uld be made, should she ever s Haddis Castle again? But she p a 11 'chose thoughts resolutely asi and went through her adieux with a arent calmness. Only when s ade her friend Mrs. Scott good -b id she for a moment brdak down.

After Christmas they received letter from Haddis giving them notice of his intention of coming ou to Alassio almost immediately. He e did not think it necessary to mentio that he was coming because Mrs Mansfield and her stepdaughter wer going to Bordighera, which was no much more than two hours by train from Alassio. At another time Cecily would have welcomed her brother's coming, but things were changed now. Since he had taken up such a disapproving at- titude with regard to Jack Grandi- son she could no longer feel that he was 'her friend. She felt constrained in his society, and would almost have preferred that he should stay away. On the other hand, she knew him well enough to be sure that he had continued to prosecute his acquaint- ance with the Mansfields, and if he saw anything of the IVDansfield's he must also know something of Jack. Would it be possible to induce him to tell her anything of Jack?

Afterwards rw rd 14.1 h s 1 three eofthepar'cy id were wont to reflect with wonder on ch the difference that it might have ut made in the lives of each if they had chosen to go by the quicker and more n_ usual route. nt Lilith was sorry to leave London. ° She was leaving Haddis behind, as m she supposed, pposed, and though she had never seen him since the night of the d ball, and knew she would never see him with her step -mother's permis- rs sion, still there was always the it chance of their meeting without Mrs. Mansfield's permission. est True to the promise she had made it him, she sent a note to tell him of g their destination. Her conscience smote her for thus acting without her s'tepmother's knowledge and a- n gainst her known wishes, but she compounded with her conscience by making her communication in the a baldest terms. Her note contained simply these lines— "We are going to Bordighera for n the rest of the winter on January 8'ch.—L. M." She did not for a moment suppose aughter when they had finally turn d their backs on their home an ere speeding southwards. They onl ent,, one night in London.

The journey to Paris was accom- polished without adventure, and e- ater a night's rest and a day spent in buying clothes they started once more on their travels, taking the night train to Turin. Mrs. Mansfield was an experienced and accomplished traveller. She had engaged two wagon -lits for herself and .her daughter, and as soon as they arrived at the station set to work to make all her arrangements for the night. Lilith, who was accustomed to let her mother and the maid do every- thing for her, stood at the door of the carriage looking out upon the crowded platfornm, Languidly interest- ed.,in the gay scene. Here a brown frocicocl friar with sandals on his feet hurried along seeking as comfortable a place as might be in a third-class compartment.

We must meet at Modane, In the mean- time this is the thirteenth meeting. - He smiled into her eyes, took her hand and pressed it fervently for a moment, and passed on. Lilith went back into the carriage very happy, rather frightened, and decidedly conscience-stricken. "Where have you been, Lilith? asked Mrs. Mansfield. "I have been standing on the plac- for m, replied Lilith, truly ul enough, h Y g, but she felt as if she were lying. Mrs. Mansfield however took no notice of her embarrassment. There was no sleep for Lilith that night. As the train sped on through the darkness her thoughts ran riot. What would come of it? Was he going to Bordighera? Surely when Mrs. Maisie understood how she loved him she would not keep them apart? And if she did? Fearfully Lilith con- sidered her own capacity for rebell- ion. She surely Iliad a right to marry t whom she leased. But Mrs. p s Maisie had always been so good to her? Could she ever bear to act against her expressed wishes?

At any - rate, Mrs. Maisie could not prevent her from seeing Haddis at Modane! Mrs. Mansfield all unconsciously tried to prevent it. She awoke when they were nearing Modane. "Don't get up and dress, my child!" she said. "Tillett can bring use our coffee in here." "But, oh," cried Lilith in dismay, "I am so tired of lying in this berth! I would really sooner go out and get my coffee in the buffet. Couldn't I go with Tillett?" "Oh, certainly, if you wish it so much!" responded her stepmother. "How was it you could not sleep, my darling?" "I—it was so hot!" stammered Lilith.

The moment they stepped out up on the platform Haddis and Jae came up to them. Tillett did no think it behoved her to exercise an, further chaperonage, and left th. young girl to go into the refreshme room with the two young men. Jack considerately left Haddis to look af- ter Miss Mansfield, and took his own seat some distance away at the long table, where the hungry passengers were hastily seating themselves. They therefore practically enjoyed a tete- a-tete. "This is an unpected piece of good fortune," said Haddis, as he supplied his companion with rolls and better which she was too excited to eat. "We aro getting on. This makes the four- teenth meeting. Don't you think, by -the -bye, that we might lesson the number?

A prosperous rural population which demands a community centre where may be established business, educational, relig- ious and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish ard are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that secti,rn realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre. What Maintains It ? The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up -keep. of the inutitutions 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 suliervise and govern these public institu- tions and endertalcings no town could thrive. Who is Mainly Affected? Every citizen either in or about a town should bo concerned in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good cause which may be promoted, ether by financial or active support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it should: -4 Publicity Required 111 promotion work your local paper takes the leading part.
