CHAPTER 111.
"Stuart, where are you going?"
The'4luestion was put in a cold, sharp
voice, and saute from a lad /sitting at
her writing -desk in a spacious window -
recess overlooking extensive grounds.
She was a handsome woman. with rather
massive features and a profusion of
dark -brown hair artistically arranged.
1.ler eyes, of a light green•gray shade,
were fixed at this moment on ft young
gran standing in an easy, graceful atti-
tude outside the French window.
"'doing, mother?" he responded. "No.
where in purl:hiler. Do you want me?"
Mrs. Crosbie examined her firm white
bands for one brief second,
"Have you forgotten what to -day iso"
she asked, quietly.
The young man pondered, puckered hie
11,1ndeonre brows, and pretended to be
Iot;t in doubt.
'':e really forget," he answered, after
a while, looking up with u, mischievous
twinkle in his brown eyes. "" Thursday, I
believe; but you have your alumnae
close to your hand, mother."
'Phis is ]'hursaay, the 3,')r(1 of July,
Stuart," observed Mrs, Crosbie, putting
down her pen and looking fixedly at ber
Bon. "And this afternoon your Aunt
(flare, and Cousin Vane ne will arrive, and
you are expected to meet them at C''hes-
cerbann. Station."
"'13y Jove!" exclaimed Stuart, with a
soft whistle, "1 had cleat: forgotten
them!" He pushed his hands Into his
t'nnis-moat pockets and regarded his
shoes with almost 5 real pucker on his
brow, "What time are they due?" 'he

Mrs. Oroebie took ftp a letter and read
aloud:
