Unnoticed by him a eloud had drifted over the,Langdale Pikes, as the range of high mountains is, called. "It is going to rain, and heavily," "And you have no umbrella, water- proof!" exclaimed Stafford. She laughed with girlish amusement, "Umbrella?

Here it comes!" ; • It came -with a vengeance; It was as if. the heavens had opened and let down the bottom Of a reserveir. Stafford me- chanically took off his coat. "Put this on," he said. "That jacket is quite light; you'll get wet through." Her face crimsoned, a.nd she laughed a little constrainedly. • - "Please put your coat on!" she said, gravely and earnestly, You will be wet through, and YOU are not used to it. There's a shed round the corner; ride there as quiekly as you can." . Stafford stared at her, then burst into a laugh which echoed hers. "And leave you here! Is it likely?" "Well, let us both go," she 501111 as if amused by his obstinitess ' "Is it far?" he asked. "See if you can (manage to 'balance on the eaddle—I would run beside you.

"I've another launch, a steamer, and larger than this, corning to -morrow; and Sir Stephen told me to get some Cana- dian caeoes, in case you, or any of the cOmpany that's coming, should fancy then, sir." As Stafford went UP to the house in the exquisite "after -bath" frame of • mind, he met his father. The expres- sion of Sly Stephen's facie, which ci. mo- ment earlier, bef ore he hacl turned the corner of the winding path, had been grave and keen, and somewhat bard, softened, and his eyes lit up with a smile which had no little of the boat- man's admiration in it "Mad a swine my boy? Found every- thing right, I 'hope? I was just going down to see." "Yes, everything," replied Stafford. "I caret think how you have managed to' get it done in so short a time," he ; added, glancing round at the well -grown ehrules, the smooth paths and the pbush- Ilise which an looked as if they had been in enItivation for years. sir Stephen shrugged his shoulders. "It is all a question of money—and. the right men," he eaid. "I always work on the plan, and ask the question: 'How soon, how much?' Then 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 tett per cent, to gain makes them hustle, as they say on the 'other side.' Have you seen the stables yet?

"And, above all, the situ- ation," lie, added as he looked at the magnificent -view, the opal lake mirror- ing the distant mountains, flecked by the sunlight and the drifting clouds. "Yes, 1 was fortunate in getting it." remarked Sir Stephen. Instantly there flashed across Ste- fora's mind—and not for the first time that morhime—the words Ida Heron had Spoken respetting the way in which Sir Stephen bad Obtained the land. Looking straight befove hint, he asked: . "How did you get it, sir? X, have heard that it was difficult to buy land here for building purposes." "Yes, I fanny it is" replied sir Ste- phen, quite ecisily. "Now you speak of it, Y remember MY agent said there was some hitch at first; but he must have got over it in some way or other. He bought It of a fernier." Stafford drew O breath of relief. "This is the Italian. garden; the tennis and croquet lawns are below this terrace—there's not Ulna to ;go down.

He looked at Ills father's upright, well-dressed and grace- ful figure. "But he would hand it back to you, I thinlc, sir." There was a pause. then Stafford asked: "Do you know any of your neighbors --any ot the people round about?" "No; I was never here until yester- day, excepting for an hour or two.

"Can you tell me the way to Sir Stephen Orme's place?" he flaked in a rough, harsh voice.

It is good with a lettuce and tom.aito •salaid, some chopped green peppee being added perhaps. If a meat chopper is used the first onion must be thrown away. Cold Glazed Onlons—Peepare small onions and cook in a wide bottomed, covered earthen dish in the oven. Add to the onions a ta- blespoon of butter for each half dozen small ones, and an even ta- lelespoon of powdered sugar. Cook with a moderate flee, otherwise the outside layer of the onion will be like paper. This amount of segar mey make them too sweet for some tastes, and one-half as much can he need. These are excellent cold for 'luncheons or picnics.. They are as good as prunes for it child's luneb box, and quite generally lik- ed by ohildren.
