"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, for the lake this morning was almost as clear and as vivid in coloring; and that is Paying a great.deal.

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?

"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 the stables yet?

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.

"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.

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?" 7 was never here until yester- day, excepting for an hour or two, But we shall know them, I suppose; they'll call In a. little while, and we will ask them to dinner, and so on.

"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. .
