"Welt," replied Haddis. "Lilith was
not courageous enough to defy Mrs.
Mansfield and refuse to be taken a-
way to America, and I could not let
her go to America without me. So I
decided that the best way was to be
married at once. I did not wish to
make you any party to my proceed-
ings and, though I wished to confess
the Matter as soon as the deed was
done, Lilith was afraid of agitating
her stepmother too much. We decided
to wait till the date of departure for
America was actually decided on to
make confession, but I must say I am
thankful 'chat fate has taken the mat-
ter out of our hands—for you will
insist on immediate confession!"
"I certainly shall!" said Lord Loch -
finnan. "I must repeat, Haddis, that
1 blame you very much."
"Blame ine as much as you like,"
said Haddis, "but don't hold Lilith
guilty for my sins. I had hard work
to persuade her into it. Come, fath-
er, the thing is done and can't be un-
done. Will you not say a kind word
to my Wife?"
Lord Lochfinnan sighed.
"Well," he said, "it cannot be un-
done. "Nor is it the doing I object
to,.but the manner of the doing.
However—" Ho laid his hand kind-
ly, on Lilith's arm and, drawing her
away from Haddis, kissed her with
fatherly tenderness. "Bu'c (.,here
must be no concealment, my daugh-
ter," he said. "Mrs. Mansfield must
hear of this at once!"
"I know," murmured Lilith. "But
—oh, Idon't know how I can tell her!
What shall I do?"
Lord Lochfinnan looked at her for
a nionten'c with indulgent pity,
"I suppose," he said, "I shall have
to tell her for you, but it strikes me
she will want an explanation of your
being out so late this evening, won't
she?"
Lilith blushed.
"She thinks," she murmured, "that
I am at Mrs, Soane's musical party.
It is never over till late. I was there
for a short tine," she added, with a
desperate attempt at excusing the
deceit.
Lord Lochfinnan smiled rather
grimly..
"You see, my clear, the maze of
deceit one false step has led you into!
But there must be no more of it.
Tell Mrs. Mansfield I particulalry
wish to see 'her tomorrow at the
earliest hour she can appoint, And
now let us hurry Home."
Lord Lochfinnan considerately led
the way, and left the young couple to
follow some yards behind, until they
reached the railway which brought

them to a more frequented road.
Then he waited for them, and tha
three walked abreast in silence to the
hotel, where Lilith, withou'c waiting
even 'co say "Good Night" to either
her husband or father-in-law, hurried
indoors at once.
When Lord Lochfinnan told Cocily
of the events of the day she exclaim-
ed at once—
"I wonder I never thought of that!
I have been expecting for some time
past to hear that Lilith and Haddis
had disappeared together, but I con-
fess it did not occur to me that they
were married already."
Then she sighed. For a moment
she could have found it in her heart
to wish 'chat her lover would insist
in the same ]sigh -handed way on her
immediate marriage to him; but she
knew that she was different from
Lilith. She could never stoop to the
deceit involved in a clandestine mar-
riage.
"Lord Lochfinnan wan'cs to see me
again on important business?" said
Mrs. Mansfield, when her stepdaugh-
ter rather tremblingly delivered the
message. "How did you come to see
him? Was he at Mrs. Soane's party?"
"No" faltered Lilith. "I met hint
coining home."
Though she had not the courage to
make her con:fiession herself to her
stepmother, there was mingled with
all her fear a sense of relief that this
life of deceit would now be over,
Mrs. Mansfield sent a message to
ask Lord Lochfinnan to come at
eleven o'clock the next day. She was
now always moved to the balcony
early in the morning, and had an out
ing in a Bath -chair in the afternoon.
Haddis accompanied his father to
the hotel the next day. Lilith Fame
down to the drawing -room to receive
them and take Lord Lochfinnan up.
There was no one else in the room,
and Lord Lochfinnan greeted her with
a fatherly kiss, and kindly looked out
of the window while Haddis caught
her in his arms with the whispered
exclamation—
"My wife! And today 1 shall be
able to claim you before the world!"
Lord Lochfinnan turned round with
a twinkle in his eyes.
"She shall conte down again to
you," he said, "while T ani making
the tremendous disclosure upstairs.
You may prepare yourselves for a
bad gtearter of an hour after tha':,—
and you richly deserve it. Cone,
child, I had better go up at once and
get it over!"
Lilith obediently led hint up the
stairs. As shd paused at the door
of her step -mother's room Lord Loch -
finnan saw that she was trembling.
"Courage, my dear child, oour-
age N" ho said, patting her shoulder.
, "You deserve a scolding, and you will
assuredly get onel But it can't last
for ever. You are Haddis's wife,
!No one can take you from him. At
the worst, you can run away with
him from scoldings if they become
unbearable."
But in reality Lord Lochfinnan
quaked a litle himself when he was
left with Mrs Mansfield. His ner-
vousness was quite patent to her, and
she looked at him rather curiously.
Was he going to propose to her a-
gain? After a few casual observa-
tions on the weather, Lord Lochfire,
nen carne to the subject in hand.
"You will remember," he said
"that the last time I requested an

"My little Lilith! I did not think she
would have clone such a thing. Per-
haps I tried her too far."
"I can assure you I regret it deep-
ly," said Lord Lochfinnan, relieved to
find '!tis disagreeable task so well
performed.
Mrs. Mansfield looked at him.
"J really believe you do," she said.
"And the only excuse I can find fora
my son," he wen's on, "is that he was
very desperately in love, and feared
through Lilith's timidity to lose her
altogether; and also I am sure if he
had not known that she lost her
money in marrying him thus without
your consent he would never have
brought himself to do it. You must
admit that mercenary motives have
played no part, and they are very
young—and they loved each other—
we must forgive them."
Mrs. Mansfield was silent for a
long time. Lord Loehfinnan, glanc-
ing at her, saw to his surprise that
the tears were rolling down her
cheeks.
"Yes," she said at length, "I think
he does sincerely love her, and net
for her money. I would have pre-
ferred to test them a little longer,
but the natter has passed beyond my
control. There is nothing left for me
to do brie to forgive them; and as for
the money—if I am to forgive them
at all I may as well do it thoroughly

that my stepdaughter's marriage has

added contemplatively, "now it is

fully approve."
Lord Lochfinnan rose. Ile took
her hand and with a sudden impulse
kissed it.
"Our children have not trusted us
as they ough'c," he said,"but we have
always to forgive our children."
She drew her band gently away
from him.
"Send them up to me," was her on-
ly answer. But when he was gone
she lay musing. "He certainly is a
gentleman," she said to herself.
Then the culprits appeared, hand
in hand. Lilith ran forward and,

Mrs. Mansfield ever made to her step-
daughter, nor would she hear of her
remaining to nurse her any longer.
"No," she answered, "you must go
away with your husband tomorrow.
I dare say you long ago made your
plans where you would go for your
honeymoon."
Lilith blushed and confessed that
they had.
Accordingly the following day the
pair were seen off at the railway -
station by Lord Lochfinnan and Ceci-
ly; and the Alassio Gazette of that
week contained the anounncement
that Lord Haddis ,only son of the
Earl of Lochfinnan, had been married
on the eighteenth of February to
Lilith, daughter of the late George
Mansfield, Esquire, of New York.
The marriage, it was added, had been
private, in consequence of the state
of health of the bride's stepmother.
Mrs. Manseld postponed her jour-
ney to America till after the newly -
married couple mad returned from
their honeymoon. As she said, with
rather grim humour, there was no
longer any reason to hurry back now.

"Good morning!" he cried cheerily.
"I suppose I couldn't induce you to
come for a sail?"
She shook her dead, smiling, as
she hold out her hand to him.
"Not today; but one day I want
you very much 'co take me to the
island,"
"Yes, Coolly is crazy also to ;;o to
the island. I believe there is very
little 'co see wbon you get there—the
ruins of an old castle and a modern
villa, which is also more or less in
ruins. But we will go certainly, only

quite calm."
"We wilt make up a party when

"My dear Lord Locllflnnan, if 1
ever could bring myself to .lose my
money for the sake of any man it
would be for your sake, but I confess
frankly I don't feel like bringing
myself to that. I have known what it
is to be poor—struggling to keep up
appearance on an insufficient income,
and latterly I have known what fc is
never to have to think of money, and
I confess it le a position I prefer."
"But," he argued, "you really
would not be so poor as my wife. It
is true that I have found it necessary
to retrench a good deal lately, but
Haddis's marriage to a rich woman
has relieved me from many embar-
rassments.
"No, thank you, Lord Loehfinnan!
I value your friendship very much,
and I hope we shall always be the
best of friends; but how would Cecily
like a stepmother?"
"Oh, Cecily will marry one day!"
he replied easily.
"She will not marry unless you
give her leave to marry Jack
Grandison," said Mrs. 14ianeeld.
"Though, as I wanted Jack once for
Lilith, I did not encourage the idea
of his marrying Cecily, yet now—"
"My dear lady," he said irritably,
"if the man had anything to keep her
on I would give my consent; but how
can a girl brought up in the lap of
luxury marry a pauper?"
Mrs. Manseld was about to -answer
when she looked up and saw Cecily
approaching them. She rose and
went towards the girl.
"I thought father had gone out
sailing." said Ceeily, "and I was com-
ing to ask if you would come with
me to Andora. I thought we might
take our lunch and spend the day
there. I have bespoken a carriage."
"I was going Cut sailing," said
Lord Lochfinnan, "but Mrs. Mansfield
beguiled nee into conversation."
"I like that!" cried the widow,
!laughing. "You bad better go and

the hill to see the old ruined castle.
and as Cecily had seen it before, they
contented themselves with strolling
about on the level ground of the val-
ley, picking bunches of white and
yellow narcissi, little pink anemones,
and the pretty red -and -white Roman
tulips.
Suddenly, as they sat down to rest
by the side of the stream, Mrs. Mans-
field said—
"Cecily, I don't wane to pry into

Ceeily coloured deeply, and for
some moments made no reply, She
sat playing with the flowers in her
lap, and on her face was as expres-
sion of deep thought.
"Oh, of course, my dear. if you
would rather not tell me, I apologize
for asking!" said Mrs. Mansfield.

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 and
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section
realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre.
What °lel aintains 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 ms,titutions in such towns are in the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly andin-
directly connected thevewith.• Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public instttu
tioree and undertakings no town could thrive,
ho is t Iy Affected?
Every citizen either 10 or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good
cause which niay be promoted, ehther by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
I*'u lbl icity is Required
Ir, promotion work your local paper takes the 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
