Mansfield looked much sur- prised, "That is strange," she said. "If he is in 'Alassio, he would surely let you know." "He would not wish my father to know he was here; and if I knew he knows I would tell my father. Mrs. Mansfield," added the girl, turning her clear eyes on the elder woman, "you don't 'chink I ought to tell my father nay vague suspicion? I don't see anything of him or even speak to him. I am not even sure that the man I think is he is really he, though in my heart I believe he is, but 1 don't think I am bound to tell my father what I only suspect." "No, my dear, I don't think you are," answered Mrs. Mansfield. "Da you mind telling me who you think is Jack?" "I think that Antonio, one of my father's boatmen, is he," replied Ce- cily, without hesitation. "Ahl" cried Mrs. Mansfield. "I am sure you are right, though I don't suppose I should ever have connected the vague sensation that I bad seen the man before with Jack Grandi- son if you had not told me." She sat in silence for some mom- ents; at length she rose. "I ant very glad you told me, my dear. I think it is possible I may be able to help you, No," she added, smiling, seeing' a look of dismay on Cecily's face, "I shall not betray him to your father. As he does not mol- est you I don't think that would be fair." They drove home, and no more was said between them of Joel: Grandison; but for ' several days Cecily anxiously watched Mrs. Mans- field's face to discover, if she could, by its expression, whether site had brought Jack to book, Mrs. Mans- field's face however was inscrutable, and Antonio continued to bo Lord Lord Lochfinnan's boatman, When the bride and bridegroom came back a few days later no one would have known the sparlclhig Lady Haddis for the little, white-faced scared -looking maiden who had been going about Alessio.

Cecily regarded her joyous little sister-in-law with some envy. It seemed to her that virtue was not al- ways rewarded in this world. Ilere were these two who hati taken their own way and deceived everybody, happy and made much of, while she, who obeyed her father and would not write or receive a line clandes- tinely front her lover, saw no likeli- listed of her. love -story ever coating to a happy conclusion. One decision however Cecily had been slowly com- ing to, and that was that, though she would never deceive her father, the time would come when she would openly defy shim and nary Jack. In the meantime she showed but languid interest in what was going on around her. It was not till the project of a picnic to the island was mooted 'chat she awoke to lively in- terest. If they went to the island they would go in Lord Lochfinnan's yacht, and Jack would be of the party. She would see hifn all the day; she would touch his hand per- haps. 1n ge'cting into the boat; she would at least be near him. Every- thing was arranged for the first per- fectly smooth day, and a perfectly smooth day came a very short time after the arrival of Haddis and hilfch. "They tell me," said Lord Lochfin- nan rather doubtfully, "that it is not really a very' satisfactory day. Though it is quite calm now, there are symptoms of wind ge'cting up later, and if lihe wind gat up we might not be able to return tonight or even for several days." "Oh, that would be fun?" cried Lilith. "We would camp in the villa." "It would not be fun to have noth- ing to eatl" said Lord Lochfinnan; but finally he allowed himself to be overruled. "We must take plenty of provisions," he added, laughing, "in case we are weather-bound there for (several days." They all laughed at this idea of this and started in high spirits. Antonio was at the steps of the little pier, and with a perfectly grave face handed the ladies in one after another, Cecily's hand trembled as she laid it in this, but she did not venture to look at his face, or did lie by the slightest unnecessary touch seek to draw her attention to him- self. Cecily looked at Mrs. Mans- field, who showed not the least con- t5elousness that the attentive boat - num was other than he seemed. When they were all seated Cecily found herself Left out in the cold. Lord Lochfinnan, who, despite Mrs. Mansfield's decided rejection of his suit, seemed still to entertain some hopes of inducing her to change her hind, devoted himself to her amuse- ment, and sitting beside her talked to her continuously, rather to the detriment of his steering, Haddis and Lilith, who sat on his other side, wore frankly' absorbed in each other, and Cecily, seated by Mrs, Mansfield, was left' to entertain herself, Gorily did not resent this treat - milt, which was indeed inevitable, nor did she find it difficult to muse herself with her own thoughts; but she felt rather lonely, It was hard with love -making going on all around her—for her lather's sentiments to - THE BRUSSELS POST WEDINESIDAY, SEPT. 12th, 1121.

Mansfield had for amme time since been patent to her—that her own lover, sitting not five feet from her, dared not speak to her. Though he dared not speak to her, he now began for the first time to give himself the privilege of looking at her. Involuntarily his eyes, as he sat holding the cord of the sail ready to tack at any moment, drew hers. She loot guard over herself, and a certain wistfulness and appeal crept into her eyes as she gazed for longer and longer periods at his face. Ho screened by the shelter of the sail, looked boldly back at her, self -reveal- ed as Jack. It wits well that the two other couples were so 'taken up with theinselves that they noticed nothing. Once or twice indeed Mrs. Mans- field graecod at Cecily's fare, and something like a smile crept over her own. Presently, under pretence of doing something to the sail, Jack moved his seat and came quite close to Cecily. As he bent to fasten a rope he, unse- en by the others or by his colleague, who was at the other end of the boat, caught her hand and pressed it. For an instant Cecily yielded her fingers to the touch of his. Then, crimsoning deeply, she snatched her hand away. Jack finish- ed fastening the rope quite cooly and went back to his place. For the rest of the sail Cecily strove to keep her face averted from ]rim, When they reaclhed,the island they .found that even on a calm day the landing was sufficiently difficult. It took all the efforts of Lord Lochfin- nan and Haddis, with the ever -ready Antonio, to get 'the ladies to land safe and dry, and for one blissful moment Cosily found herself actually in Jack's arms. "We must not linger here too long," Lord Lochfinnan said, when they had found a spot for lunch. "I can well understand that if it became the least rough it would be quite im- possible to get off," The island was little more than a wooded hill, rising steeply out of th.e sea, its summit crowned with an old ruined castle. Close to the castle, indeed forming part of it,.was a villa which had been built by some eccen- tric mean many years before and beautifully furnished,1buc he Thad got tired of being so completely shut off from the mainland and abandoned his villa. It was always for sale, but SO far no one had ever ventured to buy it. Of course the young people wanted to see the castle. As Mrs. Mansfield could not easily get up there, Lord Locthfinntin declared he also thought the climb too arduous, and remained at the bottom of the hill to keep her company. fleetly and her brother and his wife started to make the ascent. The two boatmen discreetly went on a ramble by 'ohemselves, so as not to interfere with the amusement of the gentle- folkIt, took the 'three half an hour to get to the top. But when they got there they found themselves well re- paid.

There Wale no furniture left in it, for no caretaker could be found willing to remain there to look after it. The Walls were beautifully frescoed, and the fireplaces were of carved marble. In the deserted garden too there re- mained many traces of the care with which it had been once laid out. "We could buy this island as it stands—castle, villa, and all—for a mere song, I believe," said Haddis. "What do you say, Lilith? Would is not make a delightful resort to come to when we are tired of the world and want seculsion?" "You would find the seclusion so great that you would soon be tired of each other," said Cecily rather scorn- fully. "She is so unromantice," . said Lilith, with a laugh, looking up into her husband's face with adoring eyes, which plainly said that she did not think is would ever be possible for het to tire of him in any circum- stances. In truth Cecily too felt at that if she were only permitted to retire to this island with Jack for the rest of her life she would ask nothing bet- ter of fate. The other two strolled off to inspect an old well, which was covered with creeping plants, and she stood where they had left her looking across the sea. She was star'cled from her dreams by Jack's voice beside her. "Lord Loeatftnnan says the wind is getting up and we ought to be start- ing for home at once." "Oh, Jack!" cried Cecily, taking no notice of this speech. "How could you do this?" For answer he drew her to him and kissed her. "How could I do anything else?" he cried, "I am not allowed to stay in any place where you are, and I cannot exist without an occasional sight of you." "It is not right," she said, slipping from his mold, "You are placing me in a false position.° "Not at all," be answered cooly. "I don't ask you to take any notice of me or to recognize me in any way." He kissed her again as he spoke. "I don't know if you call this asking for no recognition," whis- pered Cecily, yielding for a moment to This caresses, "That was a momentary aberra- tion," he replied, laughing; "it shall not occur again." CHAPTER XXIII. A moment later Jack cried, as he scanned the horizon— "We really must get away from this place! The wind is rising." Cecily ran towards where she had seen her brother and Lilith disappear. "Comet" she cried, catching sight of them sitting on the edge of the well, nand in hand. "Father has sent up to say the wind is getting up and Hon. Sir George E. Foster, one of the h. t-bi ,w•r, li_114 iu the public life of Canada oe 31welay last rel,., braced his elst birthday at his home. in Ottawa. we must get away as soon as possible..' They rose reluctantly. "I am so sorry," Lilith said. "I suppose we roust go, but I love this place." sack was preceding them, with an air of deference, down the hill. Cecily followed. them. The wind was rising. At every step they took it perceptib- ly increased. "It strikes me you will have your wish of stopping- here for the night" Haddis said. "Hurry, my darling, for it would really be no joke!" Thus adjured, Lilith consented to run, as far as it was possible to run, clown the steep badly -stoned salita. When they reached the place which served for a landing -stage they found that Lord Lochfinnan and Mrs. Mans- field were standing 'there awating then very impatiently. The sea was now washing up In very nasty break- ers against the steep short of the is- land, and the other boatmen had got into the little yacht and was keeping her off the rocks as best he could. "What on earth have you been doing up 'there all this time?" cicd Lord Lochfinnan impatiently, when he saw his son and daughter and dau- ghter-in-law coming down the slope. "It was so delightful up there that we forgot all about the time," Lilith panted. "Besides, the wind has got up so suddenly that we never noticed it till you sent Antonio to fetch .us," "Well, we must be off now with- out delay," said Lord Lochfinnan. "Pietro," he called to the man in the yawl, "bring the boat back at once! We are all ready." It was a more difficult thing to bring the boat back than at first ap- peared. Twice Pietro got her close Dnp to tine rota i. landing -place, and twice .,he danced auay before any n^eeiptiii "ef til o lige. 1 t 1. 111.• time 1 i a.ie l e t ai/et! on 8,e. d of 1,,,..

It was clear that some one must sec the example. She took Pietro's hand to balance her- self on the ledge of rock he indicated, and at the moment he gave the word she jumped. The next instant she was safe on board, and Jack was hurriedly bidding her sit down. Even while he spoke a wave larger than any previous one swept over the yacht and, unshipping the rudder, carried it and some of the gear a- way, -leaving them drifting helplessly on the waves. A cry of horror rose from the is- land when 'chose there saw what had happened. In a moment the boat was swept away. Fortunately, the cur- rent was setting in such a direction that they were swept clear of the rocks, and in a few minutes were tossing on the open sea. For the first few minutes Jack was too busy doing what was possile to repbair the misfortune and 'co pre- vent the boat from being swamped to speak to or to look at his com- panion.

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 then. of such a centre. What Maintai ns it ? The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding 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 amen to supervise and govern these public institu- tior , and undertakings no totvn could thrive, Who is ainly 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 shooed, • Publis euire In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part.
