CHAPTER XXV.
It was the long arm of Coincidence -
guided by Morgan Thorpe'e cunning-
• which had led Laura to Prince's Mansions
that night of all nights.
Three days before there had been a lit.
tie dinner at Cardigan Terrace. It was
like all the other dinners, perfect of menu
and cosy of character, and, as usual, Tre-
vor, and Bobby were the only guests,
. Now Bobby had come back from Leaf'
more with a good resolution. He would
see 110 More of Morgan 'Phonies and Laura

homily thought of her, and not seldom
addressed her, so fee had 'poor Bobby

surely, that grins road to the infernal
regione, which is constructed of good re.
eoletione,, must be the inset endurable
ever imagined, more endurable than stoue,

meant to stick to it. But the morning
after his resolve, behold! Mr. 'Morgan

ed Gaunt'e rooms, and greeted Baby on

. returned.
"My deer boy," he exclaimed, "where,
a have you been? I called the other night,
and was filled with alarm when they told
me that, you had left London. X feared
-that You had fled --from 116 forgood."
Whiolz, though he did not intend, was a
particularly accurate way of putting it,
Of was Quite Out up, I 263111.0 you, end
as to. Laura-" 'He palmed and smiled at
Bobby. l'Wail, perhaps I'd better not say
how any news affected her. Mustn't toll'
tales out'of school, eh, Deane?"
Ito leaned forward and touched Bobby
on the knee, and Bellaby grew red and hot,
"/".4 had a wire from home, and had to'
run down suddenly."
Morgan Thorpe, glanoed at hire sharply:
-"No bad 'news, 1 truot ?" he said. •
• "N-0," replied Bobby, after a moment's
heeltatioa. "At least -well, , „something
had gone 'wrong -some nufauese; but it's
all right now,"
,"I'm glad to hear it. I woe afraid, one
of your people was ill," said. Mr. Mangan
Thorne, with charming sympathy. "And
I'm glad YOU are back. We missed you,
my dear Deane, though you were sway for
so, shirt a time. Trevor canto and dined

"trit dull.-- You really must come
round soon. What tha you say to dining
with us tomorrow night?"
Bobby's good resolution rose and looked
at him sternly, and, still more red and
uncomfortable, he stammered, an excuse.
'Engaged! IM sorry, and'%, I'm sure
Laura will be. • Well, we'll hope for an-
other night What are you going to do
this afternoon? Drop in at the club and
have a quiet shell 'out with Trevor and
What could. Bobby say? It would have
been extremely difficult for him to remark:
"Look here, Thorpe, I've made •a mental
vow to out you, therefore -get out!" What
young man of Bobby's age and tempera
moat could have done that? Oh, parents
and guardians, when you are inclined to
be hard on your erring sone and wards,
enaY you remember your own youth ani
the temptations thereof!
"All right," he said; but there was an-
other pause of hesitation, which, be sure,
did not escape the wily tempter's notice.
"Half a moment," said Bobby, a;51 his
visitor rose to leave. ."I'll -I'll take up
those X.O.U.'s, Thorpe. I've got some oof."
He went to the bureau of inlaid stabil-wood
and took out his checlabook; but Morgan
Thorpe waved his hand With delightful
indifference.
"No need to bother about that, just
now, my dear Deane," he said. "Besides,
I haven't the I.O.U.'s with me." They were
JO his ,pooket at that liniment. of course.
"And dashed if I remember what did
with them. They're at home somewhere
I dare say. Bring the cheek next time
von come and dine with son,"
Again, What could Bobby do? Ile could
scarcely force the check upon Mr. Thorpe.
"Al! right," he said again. "But -but,
Thorpe, I wanted to tell you-" lie color-
ed again, but the old Bobby 'aeeerted It-
self, and he looked Thorpe in the face
squarely, and se lie did so, there was an
expression in his face which was singular-
ly like that of Decline's.
"What is it, my dear boy?"
"Oh!' only this; that I've made up my
mind to out cards for Um future. The fact
1e -well, my governor has lost some money,
and I can't afford-"
Morgan Thorpe seized his hand. -
"My dear Deane, I'm delighted to hear
You say that -not that your father has
lost money, but that you are going to out
cards, It's strange, but I was just going
to ask you if you'd mind my giving you
a word, of advice, of 'warning. 'I wee go-
ing to ask you if you'd deep gambling.
I wet indeed! It was on the tip of ray
tongue. To toll you the truth, Laura and
I have been -now, you won't 'mind, you
‚won't think us intrusive and impertinent,
I hope Deane-"
"No, no." said Bobby. "Go on."
• -"Well, 'we've been thinking about you
-she is always ready to talk about you,
YOU. know. You must know that she -Well,
take.s a great interest in you, and she
begged one to ask you not. to play."
Bobby' felt so grateful, so touched by
the beautiful worean'e goodneeo and care
for him that lie could. not speak.
"And I promised her that I would. If I
had not done so, she would have spoken
to you herself. I'm convinced she would.
Ali, I assure you, the dear girl hos plenty
of pluck when she hes resolved. upon do-
ing the right thing, when she is convineed
that a duty lies before her."
'I -X am very grateful; it is very good
of Mrs. Dalton to think of me, to care,"
stammered Bobby.
"She does care, I assure you; caret very
much," Mr, Morgan Thorpe nodded grave-
ly, almost solemnly. "She takes a great
interest in you. As a rule, Laura is very
chary of making !Mende. She has euffer-
ed a great deal, poor girl! and suffering
hardens us -hardens 116, any dear Deane.
And I have never known her to come but
of her shell, no to speak, as she has done
with you. But about the cards, mY dear
fellow. You are not offended?"
"Not a bit," Said BohbY, cheerfully.
"The fact le, I Might not to have gone in
for lay, and -well I'm going to cut it
now,'."I can't tell you how delighted foam to
hear you say so," Raid Mr. Morgan Thoepe
again. "I'm a bad liana at preaching,
and I don't set up for a Puritan (dr a mo-
ralist-" •
Bobby grinned.
-"But. X don't mind telling you, Deane,
that if I had rpy time to come over again.
I'd never tooth a card or put a penny on
a horse. They talk of the evils of drink.
By the Lord n Harry! I've seen. more young
fellows go under through carde and bet'
tug than ever were 'downed' by liquor.
Why, I could give you instances by the
ecore. And take my own case. In con.
ildence, any dear Deane, X may tell you
that Morgan Thorpe would, have been in
a very different position from the lowly
one which he now meanies if he had made
the resolution which you have jest. now

"Why don't you chuck 'em now?" asked
Bobby, 'with all the verdant innocence of
Mr. Morgan Thorpe did not smile -which
proves under what perfect control he held
his facial expression.
"Ahs my dear boy, it is too late for me,
alas! Some of us are born gamblers. It'e
In my blood, in any blood, mralear Deane.

Deane ?" •
"Yes," mad Bobby, stifling a sigh as his
good xeeolution went up the chimney with
a moan of reproacher
and farewell.-
"That's all right. $o long!"
Mr. Morgan Thorpe paused at the door
and looked round.
"Delightful rooms, these of yours. Al-
ways strike me whenever I eonm into
them. Lord -what ie lois name -still et

°No," said Bobby. "Ile lies gone."
Morgan Thorpe stopped, with his hand

"Gone, eh ? Where? Gone for good?'
Bobby shook Ids head` rather sadly.
"I don't know. He loft Leafmore sud-

"To Africa?" A faint expreeeion of re-

....Three days ,afterward Bobby received a.
dainty little note -emitting the peculiar
scent -from Mrs. Dalton.
Why did, he not come to see her? Bad
she Offended him? If no, why did he not
tell her what she had said or done amiss?
And would he comp to dinner on Monday
.and give,her an oPportunity Of explaining
and, begging his pardon?
• So ran the note, prettily worded, and
written in a thin Italian hand,
There was only one answer possible.
Bobby wrote and said that 'lit' ‚would come
and tell her that in no way had she of-
fended' him, and that she had always been'
all that was kind and.gracious.
And he went,. She was alone when he
entered the drawing -Toone, and she receiv-

murmured. "Come and. sit beside me and

end Bobby dropped into it, feeling no if
he had been the cruelest and most hard-
hearted of young men.
"Morgan has told me that you are go-
ing to give up cards, I am so glad!" she
said, after Bobby had assured her that
there was nothing the matter and that he
had not been able to come because Ise had
been "busy." "011, pray, pray, keep to
that! I °hey° seen so much =leery
through gambling, and I do hate it so!
Besides," she added, with an air of inno-
cence which would have done credit to a
first -ohms actress, "YOU will be able to sit
arid talk to me while they are playing,
for, of course, Morgan and Mr. Trevor will
play."
Amid in this way she talked to him, sing-
ing Conscience to rest, and the beautiful,
bewitobing face blotted out all remem-
brance of hie reso/ve not to see her again.
Then Trevor came in. ;
He ecowled at Bobby as be nodded to
him.
"Thought you'd gone into the country
or abroad," he said, sullenly, "Domed
cold." He gave a little shudder as he drew
nearemthe fire. His face V.012 pale -it had
the pallor of the rod -headed 711011—and
eyelids were swollen and .intlemed. It
struck Bobby that Trevor had been drink-
ing heavily, and Laura shot -a glance at
hum as he stood gazing moodily at the
fire.
Presently Rforgan Thorpe came in.
"My dear Deane, Trevor, forgive Me! I
sin late," he said, with his cherming
"Trevor, how well and fit you look!"
Trevor glowered at him sullenly.
"Do I? Then any looks bsu
elie e, for I
feel anything but fit. It's thin beastly
cold weather coming in so suddenly.."
"Your dinner will put You, night, Said
Morgan Thorpe, brightly; "end there's the
bell."
As Laura rose, Trevor bent over her.
"Let that cub go first to -night," he said.
"I'll stay after hini; I waiit to speak to
You."
. She made a motion of assent, and smil-
ed up at him„ sweetly, confidingly.
Thorpe was in the beat and brightest of
humors, and once or twice Bobby thought
what that resolution would have cost him
if he had stuck to it. TIM' were such
pleasant people, the Thorpns; und Laura
-Wile all angel. '
Trevor .drank a great deal -as usual-
thromgh his -dinner, and Thorpe plied hire
assiduously with "the earl's wine:" and
after 'a time his face got flushed, and the
sombre fire burned in his eyes.
They went into the drawing -room, where
-as usual -Laura was playing softly on
the piano, and Bobby went and sat down
'beside her and turned . over the^ -music.
Morgan •Thorpe opened. out the card'
table, .
"Do you play to -night, Deane?" he wilted.
Bobby shook his head.
"Not to -night," lie said, eleddenine,.
Laura'a left hand stole out toward him
enconraging, empathetically.
"Why not?" demanded Teevor, looking
across at him with surprise.
"Can't afford it," said Bobby, with a
touch of his old spirit.
Trevor sneered,
"That's a reation no one can meet," he
said, with a sneer, "Go on, Thorpe."
a Bobby Rushed still more hotly; but the
small hand sought, and found, and press.

The play went on; Bobby remained be-
side the piano, or eat in a 'chair chose -
very close -beside Laura's near the fire.

them fiercely, and demanded:
"What on earth are you two whispering
and mumbling about?",
Laura laughed softly,
"Mn', Deane is telling mo shout his
coadeb, his crammer; he must be such a
funny. man! Are you winning or losing,
Mr. Trevor? The former, I hope, Why
don't you give -up cards, and come and

'He swore under his breath.

fectionately:

-instance, there is nothing so no-
iceptable as a fresh piece of manila
japer. It is ad excellent plan to
keep in the pantry a box of papers
cut to fit the various pans. These
may be kept together with clips or
rubber bands. Then a lining is al-
ways ready, and it is never neces-
sary to leave the cake at a critical
moment to prepare one. It takes
no more' time to cut a dozen linings
than it does one if the kitchen scis-
sors are used. Another little help
tonsists of small squares of paper
cut for oiling tins. The pasery
brush has a mission, but most wo-
men prefer to oil their pans with
the traditionary bit of paper. Many
a 'precious moment is lost in search-
ing, the paper finally being torn
'from any near -by bag or package.

'piece of paper comes to her aid. In
baking, it is usually customary to
sift the flour and measure out the

of manila paper is used instead, it

HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
Agreeable CoMpanionships Made in
Man's Daily Work.
Should a man look upon his bread
earning as an unwelcome task, to
be hurried and clone with confusion
and at -the risk of his health, with
the hope of reaching an early per-
iod of retirement when he may do
what he will and really. "enjoy
life'?" But suppose a man can hope
to retire at an early peviod and
live thereafter -without gaining
work, is he justified in regarding
whatever respectable occupation he
has as it bore or as merely a method
of earning enough money to retire
on I And, if he so regards it, is he
likely'toenjoy his retirement'? Ho
will make a very doubtful experi-
ment. Whatever a mall does dur-
ing his active period he Olin -let to
do with such orderliness and thor-
oughness as to get from lois daily
and monthly 'and yearly labor the
pleasure that comes from doing his
task well and the additional plea-
sure of so doing it that he performs
a real service. To do anything
wholly for the money it brings is
not to do it well enough. And
those men who contract the habit •
of working wholly for the money
are likely thereby to unfit them-
selves for the enjoyment of a period
of retirement; for the right-minded
man makes agreeable companion-
ships in his daily work, he finds
problems that call for all his brain
and character—for endurance, for
fair judgment, for just dealing, for
doing as hewould he done by; and
all these are the very warp and
woof of successful living. The kind
of Man to retire from money earn-
ing labor with the hope of really
enjoying life is the man who has
really enjoyed life during his period
of hardest work. And you will de-
ceive yourself if you imagine that
in idleness you will develop virtues
or a capacity for sensible enjoyment
that you did not have during your
working days—World's Work.
