so strange in. one so young, and which,
byits strangeness fascinated . him.

'Oh, no,' she reeponded. She glanced
up at the toky. 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-

She laughed with girlish amusement,
"Umbrella? X don't think I have such
a thing; and this eloth.ls nearly water-

It came -with a vengeance; It was as
if. the heavens had opened and let down

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

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

As Sir Stephen and Stafford strolled

launch would be ready in a moment's
notice, or the sailing boat either, for
the matter of that, if he should require
them.
"I've another launch, a steamer, 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

At each turn of their way Stafford

lished appearance of the creme:Ida and
;buildings waa increased by everything
he saw.
It is extraordinary!" he said, "The
place looks as if it had been made and
Inhabited for' years." •
Sir Stephen .sralled.
"Oh, I stipulated that there should-
n't be any newness -,--any 'smell of
paint,' so to spealc. Here are the
stables; I had than put as far from the
house as possible,' and yet get -at -able.

said at last. "And, above all, the situ-

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.

"Yes, I fanny it is" replied sir Ste-

some hitch at first; but he must have
got over it in some way or other. He

then Stafford asked: "Do you know any

"No; I was never here until yester-
