"Yes, sir; Sir Stephen sent down last
night to say that You Might crime down."
Stafford nodded. His father forgot
nothing! The boatman rowed ilim out
into the lake, and Stafford had a delight-,
ful swim. It reminded him Of Geneva,

as clear and as vivid in coloring; and

by Its strangeness, fascinated him, -
'I—spoke to my father about the

As Stafford went up to the house 10
the exquisite "after -bath" frame of
mind, he met his father. The expres-
sion of Sir Stephen's face, which a mo-
ment earlier, before he had turned the
corner of the winding 'path. had been
grave and keen, and somewhat hard,
softened, and lils eyes lit tin With a
emile which had no little of the boat-
man's admiration in it
"Had a SWini, InY bOY? Pound every-
thing right, / hope? I was just going
down to see."
"Yes, everything'," replied Stefforr3.
"I can't think how you lutve managed
to' getit done in so short a time," he
added, glancing round at the well -grown
shrubs, the smooth petite and the plush -
like lawns, which all looked as if they
had been in cultivation for years. Sir
Stephen shrugged his shoulders.
"It is all a question of money --and
the right men," he said, "I always work
on the plan, and ask the question: .'How
130011, how much?".Phen I add ten per
cent, to the contract price ,on condition
that the time is kept. I find 'time' pen-
alties are no use: it break's the con-
tractor's back; but the extra .teh per
tient to gain makes them hustlek, as they
say on the 'other side,' IlaVe you seen

haven't,. or I should have seen yeti there,
I go down there every morning; not be-
cause I understand muck about horses,
but beeauSe I'm fond of them. That
Will be your department, my dear Staf-
ford"
At each turn of their way Stafford
found 'something to admire, and hls
-Xianderment at the settled and estab-
lished appearance of the grounds and
.buildings was increctifed by everything
he Saw.
"It is extraordinary!. he said. "The
place looks as if it had been made and
Inhabited for years." •
Sir Stephen smiled.
"Oh, I stipulated that there should-
n't be any newness—any 'smell of
paint'. so to. speak. Here are the
Stables; I had them put as far from the
hotise as possible, and yet get -at -able.
Most men like to stroll about them. I
nee You'll like them. Mr. Pa,wson, the

As Sir .Stephen and Stafford strolled
back to the house the former paneled
now and again to point out something
he Wished Stafford to see, always ap-
pealing for his approval.'
"Everything is perfect, sir'" Stafford
said at last. "And, above all, the situ-
ation," he, added as he looked at the
magnificent view, the opal lake mirror-
ing the distant mountains, flecked
Use sunlight and the drifting clouds.
"Yea 3. waS fortunate in getting it,"
remarked Sir Stephen. .
Instantly there flashed across Staf-
forcrs mind—and not for the first time
that mornine—the words Ida Heron had
spoken respecting the way in which Sir
Stephen had obtained the land. Looking
straight before him, he asked:
"How did you get it, sir? L have
heard that it was difficult to buy land
here for building purposes."
"Yes, I fancy ft Is," replied Sir Stb-
phen, quite easily. "Now you speak tlf

a breath of relief. 'This is the Italia,

to Ileason, sir," he said; "he's the re-
sponsible person and deserves the cre-
dit, if there is any." He looked at his
father's upright, Well-dressed and grace-
ful figure. "But he would hand It back
to you, I think, sir." There was a pause.
then Stafford asked: "Do you know anY
of your neighbors—any of the people
round about?"

day, excepting for an hour or two, But

"And YOU have no umbrella, water-

She laughed with giram

It came .with a vengeance; it was as

There's a shed round the corner: ride

Stafford stared at her, then bprst into
a laugh which echoed hers. -
"And leave yott here! Is it liicely?"
"Well, let us both go." she said, as if
amused by his obstinacy.
''Is it far?" he asked. "See if you can

She glanced at the horse.
"I couldn't get up—I could if he -were

"You al, lkning—ot standing," she
reminded smilingly.
Perhaps tit, 'Mille gave him courage;
he just took sm. below the shoulders
and lifted her on to the saddle. saying
as he did so, and in as matter-of-fact a
voice as he could:
"7f you'll just put your hand on my
shoulder, you'll find that you can ride
quite safely—though I expect you
could do 11 without that—I've seen YOU
ride, you know."
He kept his eyes from her. so that he
did not see the hot lush which mantled
in the clear ivory of her face, Or the
sudden tightening of the lips, as if she
were struggling ;against some feeling,
and fighting fee her usual self-posses-
sion. She succeeded in,a moment or twe.
and when he looked ' up the blush had
gone and something like annisement
was sharing the sweet girlish confusion
In her grey eyes.
"This is absurd!" she said. "ft is to

"I see it—just across the road. Plettso
keep a tight hold of my shoulder; I
should never forgive myself if you slip-
ped."
"I am not in the least likely to slip,"
she said.
Then suddenly, Just as they were on
the edge of the road, she uttered an ex-
clamation of surprise rather than em-
barrassment, for a carriage and pair
came round the corner and almost UP -
011 them.
Stafford stopped Adonis to let the
carriage )7:tee but the coachman pulled
up in response to 0signal from some-
one inside, and a man thrust his head
out of the window and regarded them
at first .with surprise and then with
keen scrutiny,
He Was an elderly man, with a face
which would have been coarse but for
Its expression Of acuteness and a cer-
tain -strength which revealed Itself in

"Can you tell Me the way to Sir
Stephen ovule's place?" he naked in a
rough, harsh voice.
Ida was about to slip down. but she
reflected that the mischief, if there were
any, was done now; and to Stafford's
admiration, she sat quite still under the
gaze of the man'e keen, sarcaiitie eyes.
"Yes; keep straight on and relind by
The Woodman.; you will see the house
by that time," said Stafford.
"Thanics!—DriVe on, coachman," said
the man; and he drew in his head with
a grim_ smile, and something like a
sneer on his thick lips that made Stat--
ford's eyes flash.

at the horse. It.was a magnificent,

"I' ehould say that there'are not two

People were fond of thinking of
Mies Asquith as the enfant terrible
of the Liberal pairty, and the le-
gend persists. They look joyfully to
her epeeehes for the indiecretions
that -will suffuse the Cabinet with
fiery blushes. They like to picture
the entleserasement of Mr. Lloyd
George and MT. 134'Tell when she
said 6.74, it was "aro uee blimking

unpopular," ancl.when alhe deplored
the imprisionment of Mr, Larkin.
But it is not, in reality, for those
who kno-av the Premier's household

Asquith haa been .set the worst ex-
ample in the world. Her step-
mother knows not the meaning of
t,he word. Mrs. Asquith heel always
had the courage of her own csain-
ions, and, even as the wife of the
Prime Minister, eli.e peatervee that
virtue. Her mots, when emit
things were fashioarable, were fa-
mous for destructive ,batilliance; end

Violet Asquith, is not unlike her
step-rnother, 'either 'physically or
mentally. The notable differences
between them cere differences of a
slightly different period; the
