"How on earth did you get up there?" And the speaker put his.. glass in his eye, and coolly surveyed the dainty figure perched on one of the branches of the huge calm, under which he was standing. "That is the last place I exepeeted to find you." "I suipose so," she answered com- posedly; for Lady Gwendolyn was never flustered or ill at ease' under the most trying circumstances. "The. fact is, I have had an unpleasant ad- venture." "Indeed; l alri very sorry. • . But hadn't you better let elle help you down before we talk it over; unless you like your quarters so well that you are inclined to stay there, and, in that case, I ivi11 loin you." "Nonsense, Colonel Dacre! but she laughed, too. "What would Mrs. Grundy say to such an extraordinary tete-a-tete?" "She .would' say that it had the morin of novelty; and, considering how tired one is of everything that has happened, and how bored at the thought of prospective repetitions, 'I consider that any one who strikes out a new line for himself, and refuses tb lag along in the old groove, deserves to be canonized." "Well, ft is very nice: when people will be a little original. certainly; but get am not sure that a woman dare out of the old groove. Moreover, you men like pretty nonentities." "The deuce we dol" •exclaimed Colonel Deere. "Who told you that?" "Nobody. One does not -need tell- ing things when one has eyes and. ears. I have seen you dance as often as four times in one evening with Mrs. O'Hara." "Well?" "Well," echoed Lady Gwendolyn, with . a superb sort of insolence, ':is she clever?" "No."' "Refined?" "No,s' answered Colonel Dacre again. "Or particularly good?" "I ani afraid not." "Then ` what is it that makes her the most popular woman in London?" "Upon my word, I can't tell you. I like her because I knew poor O'Hara."` "Andis it so pleasant to talk to her of yourdead friend?" insinuated Lady Gwendolyn slyly. "I never heard her mention her husband's name in my life;" "No? Really, you quite astonish me! Then you can't like her for his sake -you must like her for her own. And I will tell you why, shall I?" "I' am all attention." "Well, she natters you so skilfully. that .you don't even know she is doing it, at the same time that you feel infinitely satisfied with yourself. I don't mean you, individually, Colonel Dacre; but her acquaintances generally," "At any rate, noone can accuse you of a like fault, Lady Gwendolyn," he :said,with a faint smile, that showed pain as well as amusement. "No: I am perfectly downright— too much so, Lady Teignmouth says; but then there Ea one thing I would scornd t o do." ",:lea is that?" And there was a certain eagerness in his gray eyes. "X would scorn to trouble the peace a a happy menage foe the sake of gratifying my poor vianity.'f "And who does this thine" "You rang a Very poor memory, Colonel Dacre. Don't you remember how well, poor foolish Percy Gray got on with his wife, until " "Go on," he urged. "Well, until Mrs. O'Hara paid them a long visit in town, and the Percy began gradually to discover that Lady Maria was unsympathetic and dull, and could not satisfy, a man of intellectual tastes,- Perhaps Mrs. O'Hara meant no worse than to make herself agreeable to a convenient ac- quaintanee; but the result was to separate the twos" "1 don't 'think you are just, Lady Gwendolyn•.

There was a minute's, silence, Lady Gwendolyn was almost ashamed at the warmth she had shown, lest ;ler motives should Iyer miseonstruedl and Colonel Dacre was meditating deeply. At last he looked tip and said: "Why do you tell me all this, Lady wendolyn?

My friend was a noble fellow, and kept leis counsel bravely to the end; but :here was one thing that would al- ways prevent me from falling in love with his widow." "What is that?" "Because I should l like d not 1 ke to stand in a dead man's shoes, especially his. So, you see, I am safe, although Airs. O'Hara bas the double advantages of being a nonentity and a flatterer. Now will you let me help you down from your perch?" "Wait just one minute. I want to ask you a very impertinent question first, if I may." "I grant you absolution before- hand," he said, smiling, "on condition that you do not keep me in suspense." "I want to know," she began hesi- .atingly, "whether if—supposing Mrs. O'Hara had not been your friend's widow " i should have cared for her?" put in the colonel, to help out her halt- ing speech. "Is that what you mean ?" "Yes; I- am so absurdly curious, and I have always wondered if— Here she came to a full stop in dire confusion, for she #lad been go- ing to add, "if that is the sort of woman you would care for;" and sud- denly .' perceived that this -would not do at all. "I'11 answer your question when you are on terra firma." replied Colonel Dacre. dodging to catcli a glimpse of the pigoant fare among the leaves; "this is what I call a con- versation under difficulties. By the by, you forgot to tell me why you rot up there at all." "Bates' bull put its head over the railing, and looked at my red cloak so viciously I dared not pass him. I had often climbed this tree with Reggie when I was a little girl, ani had managed to give Fraulein von Linder the slip; and so I tbought I would try it again to -day; but a gown with a train ie embarrassing." "I expect it is," he answered, with a droll Iook in his handsome eyes, "I should be sorry to go about the world crippled by my clothes as you women dp " 1"(lh, we don't mind it, as a rule, One would rather suffer anything, You know, than be quite out of the fashion." "Would one, indeed?" he returned, in a tone of grave commiseration."It. semis to me that fashion is tire -great- est despot the world ever knew; but I am thankful to say it is only women who yield so servilely to its exac- tious." "Of course, One never hears, for instance, of inen putting their necks into a vise, and having to turn their heads painfully for fear of accidents' to the machinery. Still, if we did hear of such things, we should know it was only done for comfort, and respect themvastly far consulting their own ease before appearances," "I can't argue with a lady so, high above me," retorted Colonel Dacre: and then he added,more seriously: "Indeed, Lady Gwendolyn you ought to come down, 'I can see the Handley drag in the distance,and you know Sir Charles would tease your life out of you if lie caught you in such a pre- dicament as this." "I suppose he would, and therefore I must return to conventional 'life again. u have But you no idea, how pleasantit is up hero, the alr is 80 pure, and the leaves smell so sweet. I'll gr:t Tcigninouth to arrange me a little .place in one of. his big trees, a la Itclbinson, so that'' I play retire there for contemplation and self-ex- amination occasionally." "Or, rather, say to read your bil- lets doux, and keep a close calcula- tion as to the number of hearts you have broken," said Colonel Dacre, with a sternness in hie voice that showed this 'trilling, butterfly nature —as he believed it to be—angered es wog n sIhu.r med him. "I Taney that mould be hearer the truth," Without answering him, Lady w xwendotyn began to work her 'way slowly along the bough on which she had been seated. She found it a very different performance in cold blood from what it had heft under the ex- eltemeut of fear, and felt herself tremble nervously, She was terribly ineomntoded by ber dress int° the bargain. If Colonel Dacre had hot,beeii there she would leave gathered her train corer her arm, and let her amities take their chance; hut under tho;circum- stances this would not bave done, and she had to proceed etreumspectly, as became the daughter of a hundred earls. Knowing nothing of her difficulties, and .seeing :the Handley drag draw nearer and Wearier, Colonel Dacre kept urging her on eagerly, Sir Charles was a great gossip, and It was ,quite well he slioild not have an opportunity of making mischief out of Lady Gwendolyn's escapade. "You really must be quick," he urged; "the horses are turning Bar- ton corner," "But don't you think I should p ass unobserved if you were to get away from the tree?" observed Lady Gwen- dolyn timidly, "Impossible. Your red cloak must have been a feature in the landscape for some time past. You had better leave it where it is, to account for what they have seen, and if you are very quick, we shall be able to hide ourselves before they get on high ground again." "That's all very well, but----", "Shall I give you a little help?" "Not for worlds! I would rather stay here all night." "Why?„ "Because I know you are Iaugleing at me in your sleeve. You did not see tite bull's great glaring eyes." "1n you had made him 'a present of your cloak he would have .been so taken up with his toy that you would have been, able to make your escape in a legitimate way." "That's all very well, but I really can't afford to throw my clothes away in that fashion. I have come down. to. Teignmouth g mouth on purpose to econo- mize,. because I exceeded my allow- ance last year, and mybrother had to help me through. Now he is mar- ried he has to pay his wife's debts, and, of course, I am left out in the cold; so I am obliged to be horribly careful, you see. Teignmouth says I ought to make three hundred pounds a year do; but then you men never understand what heaps of things a woman wants." "Exactly," groaned her listener. "A man must have ten thousand pounds nowadays before he can afford the luxury of a wife; and then he's ruined half the time. But pray look where you are going, Lady Gwen- dolyn. I am sure that branch on which you are -stepping is rotten and unsafe." "It bore me before." "And, therefore, is less likely to do so again. I can hear it crack now —for mercy's sake step back!" he shouted, in a frightened tone. She, seemed to enjoy his alarm, and laughed defiantly. She desired noth- ing better than to make him suffer a little; and she saw, by his . anxious face, that he was suffering now-- from ow—from a nervous dread of witnessing some catastrophe, no doubt. She put her other foot onto the rotten branch. He was watching her with his heart in eyes; but he saw that his warning had been a mistake, and was silent now, hoping she would try to redeem her error if she were left to herself. And so she did; but it was too late. The bough gave a loud creak, then broke off suddenly, and Lady Gwen- dolyn fell in abrilliant heap at Colonel Deere's feet. The red cloak, her pretty summer hat, and her, long black hair, were all in such a tangle together that he could not find her face at first and even when he did he was afraid to look, lest the fatal beauty, which had been the curseof so many, was all spoiled and disfigured. An unholy thought sped through him, that, if it were so, there would be none to dispute with him the treasure he coveted. Rut he chased this- away with contumely. . With a gtiick but reluctant hand he swept away the shining masses of her hair, and looked ether anxiously. She was as white as a lily; but if there was no more harm done that what he saw, she would break many more hearts yet—his own maybe among the rest. He bent his lips almost to her ear; inhaling, with passionate delight, the taint perfume that pervaded her dress. So far it had been a wonderful privilege to hold her hand for a few seconds in his; and now he might have touched her creamy cheek with his lips had he been so minded, and no one would have been the wiser, for the Handley wagonette had gone by, and there was not a living soul in sight. ,• It was a great temptation, for ne had loved the girl secretly, madly, entirely, for two long years, and had suffered tortures of jealousy and hopelessness meanwhile. If she would only come to herself! He did hot think site could be much injured, as she had not fallen from any great .height, but still she did not open her eyes, and he was so totally inexperienced in fainting -fits, that her perfect immovability fright- ened him. m Ile almost wished now that he had hailed the Handley peolple as . they went by, although he.was so jealously glad tohave her all to himself. He wondered what he ought to do. Ire had heardof eau de Cologne being an lin i exec e t thing under the circum- stance, hut then he did not carry it aboutwith him. He put his hand in his pocket mechanically as the idea oeeurred to him, and came upon his silver Bunting -flask. Ills face bright- ened at once. He was sure he had also heard of brandy as a .remedy, and what a merciful thing he .bed some by him. He supposed it was to be applied externally, like the eau de Cologne. Going down cm his kuees beside the insensible figure, he moistened his band kerchief with .the spirit, and then bathed Lady Gwen- dolyn's forehead and nostrils; and whether it was that brandy so applied really was it good thing, or that the fainting -fits was ending naturally, the glrl's white eyelids began to twinkle, and suddenly she looked up at him With a languidly mysterious smile. He etooped over her tenderly. "Are you better, Lady Gwen- dolyn ?" "Have I been ill, Hien?" she asked, "Oh, dear, no!" he answered cheer- fully, having alwa#'s made/Wood that yoit must keep youi 'patient's eplrits up, "Just a little faintness, that was all, Nothing of the smallest conso, quence," ""How do you know that?" she re- t turned. "I believe I have broken my ',pg., -"Oh! pray, .don't say that.

Lady Gwopdolyb shook leer dark, disheveled head in a despondent wan "That is. what 1 do feel, and I stn sure I could not walk home." "I never dreamed of your doing such a thing. If you don't mind wait- ing here—" She interrupted him with a cry of dismay. "So close to Bates' bull?" "I beg your pardon," he said peni- tently, and then stood pulling at his mustache -a way be had when pus - sled or annoyed, 1 At last he added hesitatingly; "My house it close here, and if you would not mind my carrying you there, Mrs. Whittaker, the house- keeper, would be able to attend to you until the doctor came. I cannot think of any better plan at this mot ment; and, of course, I shall not en- ter the Hall until I have fetched Lady Teignmouth, It is ridiculous to trouble about conventionalities at such a time, Lady Gwendolyn, when the least neglect or delay might cause you to be a cripple for life. Are you not of my opinion?" "Quite," she replied, with a strange gleam as of suppressed triumph in her beautiful eyes. "Only that I am afraido will find that u the burden laid upon you is heavier; than you can bear .'• "We shall see," he said, lifting her in his stalwart arms as easily as if she had been na child. "Would you mind pntting your arm round my shoulder, just to steady yourself?" Lady Gwendolyn obeyed him with the simplicity that is always such per- fect breeding; and when Colonel Dacre looked down at the creamy cheek resting on his shoulder, and felt the warm coil of her arm round his neck, he could hardly resist the mad temptation to press her against his heart, and tell her again' and again how he loved her—so passion- ately that he would have deemed the world well lost for her sweet sake. CHAPTER II. Adieu. "Are you not a long tune getting to the Hall?" inquired Lady Gwen-' dolyn innocently. It looked so very near when I was at the top of the tree. I am afraid I must be dread- fully heavy, after all. Do let me, try to walk." "Not for the world; you might in- jure yourself for life," he replied. `.'I could have hurried a little` more, only that I was afraid of shaking you." Of course he could. Lady Gwen- dolyn knew that as well as he did, and smiled to herself. Surely he de- served that she should play with him a little, when for two long years. he had kept her in suspense as to the state of his feelings, and had only be- trayed them by accident now. be - " You earn- me bee, j1fully," she Made only from hard Western Wheats, Purity Flour is rich in glutell --- the energy siling and body- buildllig food.

"You must be wonderfully strong." "I used to be; but I have seen my best days, you know." "I don't knew. What age are you?" she asked, in her usual downright way. "Nearly thirty-four.'' "Say thirty-three; there is no need to anticipate. I shall be twenty next Week; but I mean to call myself nineteen until twelve o'clock on Mon- day night. When I reach twenty-five, I shall pause there for four or five years, and then go on as .slowly as possible, counting every other year, until I am awfully old, and then I sha'n't mind." "Would you really mind now If you were --thirty, say?" "Yes --I should," she replied, with great decision. "Then how dreadfully you must feel for me, Lady Gwendolyn." "I don't think it signifies about a man's age", unless he is beginning to get infirm. But you have plenty of good years before you yet, Colonel Dacre." "I hopeyou are a true prophet, Lady Gwendolyn. I can assure you that, so far I have onlyseen the dark side of life." "And yet to outsiders you always seem such a very fortunate person." " Do I? Why?" You have plenty of money, a fine old property, health to enjoy your advantages; and, therefore, as the. world argues, you are an 'exceedingly fortunate person." "Of course, I forgot," he said bit- terly; "money is everything in this world; and yet how little it can buy —of :what one values' most, I mean." "Why, it buys diamonds!" exclaim- ed Lady Gwendolyn naively. "And you value them more than anything?" "Well, they are property," said her ladyship, with a provoking • laugh. "I get tired of an ornament so soon; it Is nice to know I can dispose of it to advantage, and buy something that pleases me better with the money." "Lady Gwendolyn, I give you no- tice that I don't believe a word you are saying." ,,No "No, I do not believe' you to be so bad as you make yourself out," he pursued, with indignant emphasis, for he was trying to convince himself as well as to shame her. "But I can- not understand the pleasure of shock ing people." "Because you are not sensational." "Heaven forbid!" he ejaculated fervonily, 'IZ- "\Vlay eaveu 1'c,i'bitl?'
