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

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

"You had better say exactly

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? Cecily
resolved she • would makt herself a-

smote her for thus acting without

making her communication in the

simply these lines—
"We are going to Bordighera for

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? When the
da
dawned, Y and the rosy sunlight
lit up the snow tipped mountain
peaks amidst which the train was
running 1 Lilith had come to no con-
clusion. 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.

ready to aeeampany her to the buf

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? You see,at theat

I shall be at liberty to speak, ar-
rives. Let us make it fifty!"
"Let us split the difference and say
seventy-five!" said Lilith joyously.
"Dear me, what nonsense yo udo
talk!"!
"It is not nonsense at all!" he re-
plied. "It is very serious. This is
now fourteen. I shall see you at
Turin. That will be fifteen. Then
Mrs. Mansfield will take care that I
seeyou no more. I hal
shall sleepat
Turin, as you are doing so, on the
chance of another glimpse of you, 1
which if I get it will make sixteen
'times. To -morrow I get out at Alas-
sio, where my people are, and you go
on to Bordighera."

What Makes a Town ?
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
