the first. He felt 1111 Unac;ouittebie
shyness in alluding to it, !est he
should betray his too deep int n',,st in
it to his son. Now however he could
contain himself no longer.
"You are sure that Mrs. Mansfield
is not seriously injured?"
"Very nearly sure," te;pnnrted
Haddis, somewhat carelessly.
In truth he hoped that Mrs. Mans-
field was sufficiently injured to en-
sure her remaining at Alamo for
some time.
"You saw a good deal of her. -ef-
them in London," pursued Lord
Lochfinnan. "I suppose she is quite
the lively widow likely to marry a-
gain?"
"I don't know whether her marry-
ing again would benefit me," said
Haddis, who took it for granted that
his father was considering his. inter-
est in the question, "though of course
if she were going to be married again
she might wane to get rid of het step-
daughter. As a matter of fact, as I
told you, I only saw her twice in
London. She did not give me the
idea on either of those occasions of
a lively widow anxious to marry a-
gain 1"
The following morning the three
went down 'co the hotel, as in duty
bound, to inquire about Mrs. Mans-
field. They asked to see Lilith, as
was natural in the circumstances.
Their cards were taken to Lilith
as she was sitting in her stepmother's
room. The invalid of course insist-
ed on seeing the cards. She looked
at them for a moment with an ex-
pression in her eyes.
Lord Lochfinnan moved to meet
her with his kindliest old-world air.
He took her hand and looked as if he
would have like to give her a father-
ly kiss. He refrained however, and
contented himself by addressing her
as "My dear!" and expressing in his
most charming manner his great
pleasure at seeing her again and his
regret for the cause which had given
him that pleasure:
Cecily then came forward and
kissed her, and expressed her pleas -
nee and regrets; then I1addis gravely
took her hand and met her timid eyes
for a moment as be too said the con-
ventional things in a conventional
voice.
Then they all sat down, and the ex-
pected offers of every sort of help

were made; but Lil th obeyed her
stepmother's behests to the letter.
She declined everything, assuring her
kind friends 'chat she and Mrs. Mans-
field had all they could possibly
want.
But, when Lord Lochfinnan asked
if she would come up and see them
at Villa Diamante any day her step-
mother could spare her, she faltered
a little.
! "I—I—should like to come," she
said. "Perhaps in a few days—"
She left the sentence unfinished, „nd
involun'carily looked at Haddis.
Lord Lochfinnan and his daughter
could scarcely repress their smiles;
but Haddis said gravely—
"Mrs. Mansfield will have to spare
you sometimes for a little fresh air
and exercise, and then Cecily will
come and fetch you."
As the trio passed out of the hotel
they came face 'co face with Jack
Grandison coming in. He stood aside
and raised his hat. Lord Lockfinntm
could not but stop and shake hands
with him, and so Cecily did the same,
her eyes smiling into his.
For the first time Haddis, who bad
just gone through a somewhat similar
experience, had a fellow -feeling for
'chis pair of lovers whose path ran
so roughly, At that moment, had :1e
been alone with them, he would have
gone on and left them tete-a-tete, but
Lord Lochfinnan had no such inclina-
tion. The few words he spoke to
Jack were of the coldest, and he pass-
ed on with a "Come, Cecilyl" which
in so public a place she could not dis-
pute. Haddis however lingered.
"I am sorry for you," Haddis said
impulsively, "but wouldn't it be kind-
er to her to go away from here?"
"No," cried Jack angrriy, "I won't
got You don't think it necessary to
go away from here because Miss
Mansfield is here. And there might
be some sense in that, because she
has no chaperon now that her mother
is laid up."
Haddis made no answer. After a
monent's silence he grasped the
other's hand.
"I can't help you," he said quick-
ly, "hut I promise you that for tie
future I will at least not hinder you."
How indeed could he have the ef-
frontery to hinder Jack's wooing,
he asked: himself, as he slowly follow-
ed his father and sister up towards
the villa, when he had every intention
of pursuing his wooing undeterred by
any consideration of Mrs. Mansfield's
displeasure?
In fact, no sooner had he reached
the villa than he sat down to write a
letter to Lilith, which he despatched
at once by a messenger with instruct-
ions that it was to be scat direct to
Miss Mansfield's room,
There Lilith found it when she
went to her room after luncheon,
!raving been bidden by her stepmother
'co go out for a little while.
,She tore it open wtih a fast -beating
heart. Her first love -letter!
After a good dear of irrelevant
matter---irrolevane to all bntehar to
whom it wasaddressed—Haddis went
on—
"Nly darling, I don't want to create
scandal by inducing you to come and
meet me surreptitiously anywhere,
but neither can I exist without seeing
you every day. You must therefore
Come to see Cosily. Toll me what

you, and I will bring you home my-
self. Foe this afternool however, if
you should go opt, ask the way to the

\re ,Iles, to sty, Lilith, in spite of
qualms of 000,46,014.e did find her
way to Santa Croce, and there she
found Haddis awaiting her. They
spent a blissful Stour looking down en
the sea, talking of themselves and
their love and their future. Lilith
told Iiaddis that she would be free
every day for two hours tt1'ter luttch-
vr 1, as then her stepmother liked to

greed that eerily should come to

Cecily, "chat by this arrangement 1

Huddle blushed.
"I had forgotten all about 'chat,"
he replied. "Olt, well," he added
magnanimously, "I don't see that it
will do much 'harm if you do see him
occasionally in the hall of the hotel!"
"Thank you!" said Cecily, a little
bitterly.
Lilith had gone back to the hotel,
to mbling lest her stepmother should
ask her where she had been, but Mr;.
Manse fild only said carelessly—.
"Did you have a nice walk, darl-
nd Lilith replied simply—
"Yes, very nice." Then she added,
"Lord Lochfinnan asked me to go

"Humph!" ejaculated Mrs. Mans-
field rather grimly. "You know that,

Lilith ded'lared she should have no
sort of objection; but this little
scheme was frustrated. When Cecily
who scorned to do anything that was
the least underhand, told her father she
that she was going to walk down to
the Grand Hotel to fetch Lilith Mans-
field up, he replied at once than he
would accompany her. Thus, when
Jack established himself on the ver-

saw Lord Loehflnnan.

seized the opportunity to say quick-

CHAPTER XVIII
In one of the prettiest villas of the
many pretty villas in Alassio one of
the Leading Engilsh residents was giv-
ing a tea-party. The tea was sot out
in a big upper room which, after the
Italian fashion, had been a loggia --
a room at the top of the house—open
on three skies to the wind and wea-
ther, a delightful cool place on hot
summer days, with a view over the
bay on one side and the olive -clad
hills on the other.
But the English owners had put
in windows. so that it could he
equally well usedin winter. Today,
though it was not considered desir-
able to have tea out of doors, the day
was warm enough for the guests to
stroll in the terraced gardens among
the mimosas, whcih were just con-
ing into flower, and 'the palms and
orange -trees.
Jack, in obedience to the hint given
Mina by Cecily, had assiduously culti-
vated all the old ladies in Alassio,
and was much in request for their
tea-par'cies—a form of entertainment
whish he loathed as most young men
do, but which. for the sake of occas-
ionionally seeing Cosily, he gladly
endured. He thus saw Cecily fre-
quently. She came to tea-parties
without her father, who could not be
brought 'co attend such functions.
She was generally accompanied by
Hacicnis, and Lord Lochfinnan, una-
ware that his son liad gone over to
the enemy, thought he could safely
go out sailing, and leave his daugh-
ter to her brother's vigiland chaper-
onage. Haddis, needless to say, had
affairs of his own to attend 'to, and
no longer troubled himself to notice
how long his sister lingered in the
garden with Jack Grandison or how
often at picnics she disappeared with
him up enticing glens and was lost
for the rest of the afternoon. He was
generally wandering up enticing
glens himself in company with Lilith
Mansfield.
Mrs, Mansfield had, with considel•-
ieible reluctance, been compelled to
allow Lilith to tape some share in
the gaieties of Alassio. The clergy-
man's wife ]lad called upon her and
come up to see her in her bedroom,
and asked if she might net 'cake the
young girl about with her a little.
"It is so dull for her to be always
walking about the roads alone," said
the good lady; and Mrs. Mansfield did
not well see how she could rofusse to
let lu•r stepdaugh'cer have the appiu•-
ently mild amusement that was this
offered her. To Lilith's surprise she
!never asked a single question Abut
Huddle. but she reiterated at fre-
quent intervals her intention of leav-
ing Alassio for America as soon ne
'the doctor allowed her to move.
I Ce e ily and Jack sat at the far encs
of
the Garden away from the rest of
the guests, and looked up a little glen
down 'which a small watercourse
made its way, fed later in the year,
by the melting snows of the moun-
tains, which from the top of the
nearest hill would be plainly visible.
They had been talking of those
lovely snow mountains which they
had seen two days before on an ex-
pedition which they had made with
another party.
"Get up early one morning and
come for a walk with me," said
Jack, "and we will climb up that
ravine and see them again."
But Cecily shook her head.
"You knew very well I will not
do that. I promised my father I
would never meet you without his
knowledge."
"Is not this without his knowled-
ge?" asked Jack, a little slyly.

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 ar.d
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that secti.an
realize and appreciate the value to them of suoh a centre.
What Maintains it ?
The 'towns are largely maintained by the surs'ounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
ap-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-
tiorea, and undertakings no town could thrive.
Who is al
y 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.

support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
