Tile best proof' of that is' my candor
for if I did not look upon you as a
friend, I should not dare to give you
good advice."`
"Never mind," she said, holding,
out to him the hand with which she
had just dashed away, her tears. "I
couldn't be angry with you, if I
would, for the sake of old times. I
hope you will be happy, Lawrence,
with all my heart, though your iixar-
riage with Lady Gwendolyn will rob
me of a friend." ( .
She stepped into the cab, and, as
ee .had •come to the "Langl•-env' to
meet Mrs. O'Hara, and sancta. sed the
other's accusations by his silenee:
When the room was, as she believed,
efear, she flung herself into the near-
est chair, with the passioii.ate, indig-
nant air of a woman who feels that
she has been insulted as well as in-
jured.
She had no idea Colonel Dacre had
remained in the room until he touch-
ed' her arm, 'half -deprecatingly, and
said:
"Gwendolyn, I want to speak to
you."
She turned upon him almost fierce-
ly then.
"You can have nothing to say that.
should care to listen to, Colonel
Dacre. You came here to meet Mrs.
O'Hara, and therefore I should be
extremely sorry . to keep you from
her."
'-As you know, Mrs. O'Hara and
myself are old friends," be answered
iuietly. "And when she asked' me to
-neet her upon business, I had no
excuse for declining, especially as I
vas much interested in Mr. Belmont's
fate on her account. All this past
week I have been searching for you
most anxiously, and have ;had no sat-
isfaction excepting a passing: glimpse
of your face at Preston station."
"When -you were ...escorting Mrs.
O'Hara somewhere, and flirting with
tier publicly," put in Lady Gwen-
dolyn.
"1 was simply bidding her good -by
when you saw me, and that is a cere-
mony which niay very well take place
'n public."
"Under ordinary circumstances."
"The circumstances were by no
means extraordinary in our. case.
Gwendolyn. I met her by chance;
we travelled together for a couple of
hours; what more natural and com-
monplace? I have known Mrs. O'llara
for the last ten years, her husband
was the best friend I ever had in the
world. Would you have had me treat
ter' like a stranger?"
"I have no right to dictate to you,"
she answered coldly.
"Indeed, you have every right,
Gwendolyn, since I have asked you
to be my wife."
"You forget that I declined the
onor."
r`I did not understand yott>so. You
oquetted' with my impatience as wo-
men are fond of doing, and finally
left me in suspense; but you never
absolutely refused me."
"Then I will repair my omission. I
heg to thank yon for,, the honor you
have done me in asking me to be
'our wife," she. said, with great for-
reality; "but I have no wish to marry,
uid have not the confidence in or of
fection for you that would induce me
to change my resolution,"
Although there was a certain inso-
ence in her manner most men would
lave resented bitterly under the eir
enmstances. he felt too sorry for her,
nd for himself, to • resent what she
raid, Slie was casting away not only
ler happiness,; but her safety, and he
I why. In his heart he felt sure
that Lady Gwendolyn would have ac-
•epted'him but for his unfortunate
endezvous with Mrs. O'Hara, He
Forgot that ``trifles light as air are to
he jealous confirmations strong as.
'r roofs of holy. writ"; and she had
seen hint at Preston station making,
D would seem, a very public display
of his regard for. the handsome
Mow,
And Lady Gwendolyn was one of
Hose women who would forgive a
flow better than she would forgive
he least shadow of unfaithfulness, It
was useless to make excuses. Colonel
Dacre knew, for she would believe
rer own eyes .better than his words;
int he could not help saying, depre-
atingly:
'I have done nothing to forfeit
our confidence, Lady Gwendolyn, -
hut if you, do not like me, you are
ieht to deny ine. I had hoped dif-
rent, for---for"—hls'voice breaking

"01 course it .bas not. The said.
'There is nothing to prevent your

"Pardon•nle, there is one insur
mountable impediment.
She turned and looked at him with
sort of suPer'essed eagerness in her
es; but she was too proud to ques-
on him outright. However, he saw
at she wished hila to tell her, and
went on
"The, thing that stands in the way
Stich a consummation, and makes
impossible, is the disinclination on
aelr side. Noah O'its,r'tt, as I told
you oitee before. Could AsVer be anvr

a long, ,

sake of old times; but as to marrying
her— •'However, I ought not to
speak in this way," he -.added quickly.
"Assuredly Mrs. O'Hara would not
marry 'me if I wished it ever eo
much.,,
Flow do you know that?"
In spite of the ' confidence with.
which he had spoken this question
staggered him. It had never occur-
ued to him as. possible that Mrs.
O'Hara could care for him otherwise
than he had said, and yet the sugges-
tion made hire uneasy. No man was
ever less of a coxcomb, but he was
not a fool, either, and this hint had;
opened his eyes. He began to recall
things Mrs. O'Hara had said and
{one, her .evident animus against
Lady; Gwendolyn, and a,sudden, pain-
ful instinct of the truth began to
dawn upon hifn.
A scarlet flush mounted to hit
brows, and he lowered his head un-
der Lady •.Gwendolyn's search+inr.
glance: Pie was so chivalrous natur'•
ally that it pained him to think. Mrs
O'Hara bad betrayed her secret, since
re 17aved a Iast greeting, he little
hought how and when they should
meet again.
The next six days were passed he
hardly knew how. He wandered from
station to station on the Great North
ern line trying ato obtain some trace
of Lady Gwendolyn; but without the
least success. On the whole, he
{night as well have looked for a
needle in a haystack; but the con
stant movement did him good, and
kept him from absolute despair.
it seemed to him that the very
force of his longing must bring them
together at last. And so, perhaps, it
did; but not as he had pictured and
hoped.
r It was the seventh day after his
Parting from Lady Gwendolyn, and,
mindful of his appointment with Mrs,
O'Hara, Colonel Dacre slept in town
overnight, and proceeded to the
-Langham" at eleven o'clock the next
morning. After making due in-
quiries, he found that thewidow was
not there, neither had the manager
any letter from her.
As that was the case, he left the
hotel, saying he would call again
later; and in the evening he pre-
sented himself again. This time he
obtained more satisfaction- A young
lady had just arrived, who had given
lids name, one of the waiters told
and had a sitting -room and bed
room adjoining, on the first floor,
'cs. 5 and 6,
With the aid of an obliging and
comely chambermaid, Colonel Dacre
Found himself at No. 5 presently, and
upping lightly with his knuckles on
the door, received a soft summons to
enter. It was nearly dusk now, and
he could not see very plainly, still it
struckhim that the outline of 11rs.
O'Hara figure had grown very slender'
in the past week to anything he could
r .member it these last ten years.
- vertheless, he said, with assur-
micee:
"1 was quite afraid I should mise
you, after all, Norah. .`This is the
second time I nave been to the 'Lang -
ham' to -day."
"I am sorry you should be disap-
pointed a second time also," answer-
ed a voice as cold as ice.
"Mrs. O'Hara?" said Colonel
Dacre; half inquiringly, half apolo-
getically. "I am afraid I must have
made Borne mistake."
And he peered forward to obtain -a
glimpse of the face that was purpose-
ly concealed from him. At this mo-
ment a hand touched his shoulder
from behind. .
Here 1 am, Lawrence. Have you
been waiting(ong?"
"But surely there must be some
mistake. They told me this was the
room Mrs. O'Hara had ordered."
She turned to the waiter, who had
followed her -and was about to light
the gas.
"Didn't you tell me this , was the.
sitting -room Mrs. O'Hara had or-
dered?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"But it is already occupied,"
He stared stupidl3> at the shrinking
figure near the fireplace, and then a
bright idea seemed to strike him,
"Perhaps there's two Mrs.
O'Hara's, Ma'am?"
"1 never thought of that; butit
isn'ta common name," neplied the\
widow, with suppressed impatience,
"Go'and inquire about it, will you?"
'Shall I light the gas first,
"Certainly," Interposed Colonel°
Dacre, for, although he had not re-
cognized the, voice, it had left a
strange feeling .of expectancy behind,
and he longed to see the face to which
her namesake, seeing, no doubt, that
escape was impossible, faced her tor-
mentors boldly, like a hunted animal
brought to bay.
Somehow, Colonel Deere was not
nearly so surprised as aright have
been expected, whoa the sudden light
displayed the stately head and beauti-
ful features of Lady Gwendolyn St.
Maur. But he was surprised„,vhen
Mrs. O'Hara, .waiting for the door to
close upon the waiter, advanced to
the table, and said, in a tone of pas-
sionate repulsion:
"So it is you, nay lady? I wonder
you care to be here, although I do
not wonder 'at your sheltering your-
self behind an honest' narne. Von

Trey d is
Scientifically
Designed
When Firestone engineers were
developing the Baboon Tire they,
found it necessary to design a tread
altogether different from that re-
quired by 1-iigh Pressure Tires,
The Firestone tread was not de-
signed with large, massive projec�
tions for , appearance or to make
plausible sales argument. On the
contrary, the projections of the
cross -and -square tread are small
and the rider strips narrow, permit-
ting the tread to yield to irregulari-
ties and cling to the road, giving the
greatest non-skid surface. This,
tough, pliable tread has the wear -
resisting quelititas that give thou-
sands of extra miles of service and
save you money.
Your nearest, Firestone Dealer
will gladly supply your needs and
give you the better service that goes
with these better tires.
