"I know some people who are poor, but very, very nice," said the girl, with a de- cided air. "I am glad to hear you say so. I am very poor myself. I have been thinking that the reason you have snubbed me so unmercifully of late is because I so fool- ishly gave myself away when I first met you," Gave yourself away?" uncomprehend- ingly. T mean I told you I was poor. I beg your pardon for the slang phrase I used just new. One falls unconsciously into such habits in the army. But tell me, did you?" "Did I do what?" -Diel you srub me becauee I am poor?" "I have not snubbed you at all," indig- nantly. You have ignored me. That ie even won- e, ' he said, "Indeed I have not ignored you at all," she protested. "Well, then, you forgot me. That le the unkindest cut of all. I could bear to be snubbed,but T hate to be annihilated," said he, with a grieved air. She pursed her pretty lips and remained silent. "Now you want mo to go away, T see," he remarked. "This is the first time you have let me talk to you since -we came aboard. and already you are weary." "Yes, I am already weary," she echoed. She. put her little hand 'over her lips and yawned daintily but deliberately, Burning with chagrin, he lifted his hat to her and walked away, "Irian never speak to her but she makes me repent," he said to himself, and -went and leaned moodily against the side, while ire continued to himself: "What a little thorn she ie, and how sharply she can 'wound." Leonora watched the retreating figure a momentthen leisurely opened her book again and settled herself to rend. But she was not very deeply interested, it seemed, for now and then she glanced up under her long lashes at the tall, move- leee figure of the soldier. At length she put down the book- and went acroee to him. Gazing intently cut to sea, he started when a band soft and white as a snow- flake fluttered down upon his coat•eleeve, Ile glanced quickly around,. Mies West!" he exclaimed, in surprise.

West -" he was beginning to eay, when a sudden step sounded beside them. Lieutenant De Vere'hael come up to them. There was a sudden glitter in his brown eyes -a jealous gleam. "I beg your pardon. Are you anti Miee West rehearsing for private . theatricals?" he asked, with a slight sarcastic inflec- tion, Lancaster looked intensely annoyed; Leonora. only laughed. "Yee," she said. "Do you not think that I should make a good actress, Lieu- tenant De Vero e" "Yes,' he replied, 'and Lancaster would make a good actor. 'One man in his time plays many parts.' " Lancaster looked at him with a light- ning gleam in his blue eyee. There was a superb seem in them,. "Thank you," be replied. "And to carry out your idea, I will now make my exit." He bowed royally and wanted away. De Vere laughed uneasily; Leonora, had cool- ly gone back to her back. Hie eyes flesh- ed. If anyone had told Die this, I should not have believed it," he muttered. "Alt! it was well to lecture me and get the game into his own hand's. Beggar; what could he give her, even if she endowed her matchless self upon him --what s bar- ren honor, an empty title? ?b, well! false friend, I know ail now," he hissedangrily to himeelf. CHAPTER XV, Leonora, apparently absorbed in her book, watched her exasperated admirer curiously under her long shady lashes. She 'divined intuitively that lie was bit- terly jealous of hie handsome friend. "Have I stirred up strife .between them?" she asked herself, uneasily. "That will never do- I must carry the olive branch to the distrustful friend." She glanced around, and seeing that Lancaster was not in eight, called gently: "Lieutenant De Verel" He hurried toward her, and stood in grim silence awaiting her pleasure. "I -I want to speak to you," she said. There wars a vacant chair near at hand. He brought 1teand••eat down by her side: I am at your service, Miss West,' ho said, stiffly. He thought he had never seen anything half so enchanting as the face she raised to hie. The big black hat was a moat be- coming foil to her fresh young beauty. There was a, smile on the rosy Sips --- half arch, half wistful. Tho full light of the sunny day shone on her, but her beauty was so flawless that the severe test only enhanced its perfection. Hua ltoart gave a fierce throb, half pain, half eleaeure. "You are vexed with ane?" waln Leonora, in a soft, inquiring voice. "Oh, no, no," he replied, quickly. "No?" site said, "But, then, you cer- tainly are vexed with some one. If it le not with nee, then it must be with Captain Lancaster, To this liropoeation, that wart made with en air of corvictiein, he remained grave- ly silent, "Silence givte conaont," said the girl, after waiting vainly for Slim to speak, and then he bowed coldly, "Then it is he," elle said, "Alt, dear mel What hie' Captain Le.noaster donee" "That le between him and me," said tbe Soldier' with a sulky air.. The red lips dimpled. Leonora rather enjoyed the situation. "You will not tell me?" she said. "I beg your pardon -no," he answered, resolutely. "Then I will tell you," she said: "you think he has treated you unfairly, that he has taken advantage of you." De Vere stared. "How can you possibly know, Miss West?" he asked, pulling sulkily at the ends of hie dark moustache. •I am very good at guessing," demure- ly. "You did not guess this. He told you, I presume," bitterly. "He -if you mean Captain Lancastez- told me nothing.. I was telling him some- thing. Why should you be vexed at him becauee I went and stood there and talk- ed to him?" indignantly. "I was not," rather feebly, "Do you really deny it?" she asked him, incredulon sly, "Well, since you put it so seriously, yes, 1 was vexed about it; but I don't un- derstand how you could now it," he an- swered, flushing a dark red. "I will tell you how I knew," she --aid, coloring crimson also. "I heard all that you and Captain Lancaster said about me that first night we came aboard." "Oh, by Jove, you didn't though?" he exclaimed, radiant, and trying to meet the glance of the beeutitnl eyes. But with her shy avowal she had lot the white lide drop bashfully over them, De Vere was not one bit disconcerted by what she bad told him: He knew that all she bad heard that night had been to his advantage. "And so all this while you knew that I thought-" he began, boldly, "');hat you thought me rather pretty - yes, " she replied, modestly. "I knew also that I was a mesallianoe for you, and that. Captain Lancaster's future was 'out and dried,' " bitterly. He gazed at her in wonder. "And you have kept it to yourself all this while, Mies Weet?" "Yes because I was ashamed to confess the truth. I did not want to be thought an eavesdropper, for I did not really wish to hear. It was an accident, but it has weighed -on my mind ever since, and at last I made up my mind to fees, as the. children say," He gazed at her with ever-increasing admiration, "So," she went on, slowly, "thie even- ing I told Captain Lancaster all about it," She blushed at the remembrance of some other things she had told him -things she had not meant to tell, but which had slipped out, as it were, in her compute• tion at her rudeneee to him, "And --'rash was a11P Was he not max ing love to you, really?" cried the lieu- tenant still uneasy at the remembrance of That impulsive hand -clasp that had so amazed him. She flashed her great eyes at him In su- perb anger. "Love to nue-he would not dare!" breathlessly. "I'm nothing to him, no- thing to you -never shall bet Please re- member that, Once I reach my aunt, neither of you need ever expect to sec me again, 1--1-" astrangling sob; she broke down and wept out her anger in a tperfut:ed ,, quare ofrlaok•bardered cam• brio. "Oh, xray, don't cry!" cried he, in dis- tress. I did not, mean to ,make you an- gry, Wee West:" and: then Leonora haste fly dried her eyes and looked up et him. I'm not angry -really," she said. "Only -only, I want you to understand that you need not bo angry with Captain Lancas- ter onmy account. There's no use in your liking me and having a quarrel over ane --no use at all." "No ono has quarreled," he answered, in a torso of chagrin and bitter disappoint; poin tm ant, "Not yot, of coerce," she .replied, shak- ing her stead gravely. 'But you know you spoke to him very aggravatingly just no'•t. } "1 merely m,,cd a quotation from Shake- speare," he retorted. The bright eyes looked him through and through with their clear gaze. "Yes, but there was a double meaning an it, I am sure he understood all that whtenyout meet zhios again willtlkno k You down for it.' "You are charmingly frank, but you are right. I do not doubt but that ire will if he can," he replied bitterly. Leonora measured, the medium-sized fig- ure critically with her eyes. "I should think there could be no doubt on' the subject, she observed. 'fie is twice' as big as you are." "Why do women all admire big, awk- ward giants?" asked he, warmly, "We do not," sharply. "Oh, Miss Weet, 'there's no use denying iL Thei'e ars a dozen men in the Guards better looking than Lancaster, • yet not one so much run after by the women; all because he is a browny -fisted Hercules," crossly. "Captain Lancaster is your friend, isn't he?" with a curling lip. "Ho was before 1 eaw you. He is not my friend if he is my rival," said De Vere, with frankness equalto her 'own. The round cheeks grew crimeon again. Put me out of the question. I am no- thing to either of you -never can be," she said. "You have been friends, haven't volt?' 'Yes curtly "For L ton.; time q" pereisted she. "Ever since I went into the Guards - that is five years ago," he replied, 'The fellows used to call us Damon and Pythias." Then don't -don't lot me make a quar- rel between you!" exclaimed Leonora, pleadingly. "It to already made, Isn't it?" with a half regret In hie voice, "No; only begun -and you mustn't let any go it further "No? But what isa fellow to do. T should like to know?" "Yon mustgo andapologize to your friend for your hasty, ill-timed words,"" she said.

"I'm not taking up for him," warmly. T only don't want you to make a fool of Yourself about out me!" "Ah!" -shortly. 'Ye., that is what I mean, exactly; I don't want my aunt to think I've set you two at odds. She will be prejudiced against me in the beginning. Come now," dropping her vexed tone and falling into a coaxing one, "go and make it up with your injured Pythias." He regarded her in silence for a mo- ment. "Should you like me any better if I did'?" he inquired, after this thoughtful pause. "0f course I should," she answered, in an animated tone. "And it would really please you for me to tell Lancaster I was mistaken and am sorry?" "Yes, I ehonld like that, certainly." Ile tried to look into the sparkling eyes, but they had wandered away from him.

"For my sake, then," she answered, care- lessly; end then he rose and left her. I.* ♦ N Lancaster had been in his state -room reading two hours, perhaps, when. De Vere knocked at hie door. He tossed back hie fair hair carelessly, and without ris- ing from hie reclining posture, bade the applicant come in. "Ah, it is you, De Vere?" he said, icily. "Yea it is I, Lancaster. What have you been doing? Writing a challenge to me?" laughing. "Well, you may burn it now; I have come to retract my words." "To retract?" the frown on Lancaster's moody brow began to clear away, "Yes, I was mistaken. I thought you were my rival in secret, but Miss Weet has explained all to me. I spoke unjustly. Can you accord me your 'pardon? I'm down -right sorry, old fellow no mistake." Lancaster gave him his hand. "Think before you .speak next time," he said, dryly. I will. But I was terribly cut up at first, seeing you and her together -like that. How sweet she is! She did not want us to quarrel over her. She confessed everything. It was comical, her bearing everything that night -vas it not? But there was no harm done." "No," Lancaster said, constrainedly. "I'm glad we are friends again; but I was so stiff I could never have owned my- rtelf in the wrong, only that I promised to do it for her sake," added De Vero; and then he went away, and left his friend to resume the interrupted perusal of his novel. But Lancaster tossed the folio angrily Sown upon the floor. "Por her sake," he replied. "'She is a little coquette, after all, and I thought for an hour that- Pshaw, I am a fool! She Itos fooled 'him to the top of his bent, tool Why did I speak to her at all? Lit- tle nettle! I might have known how she would sting!

So eho thought that poor men 'were the nicest and handsomest, always? Faugh! Lucky for me that De Vere came upon the scene just then! In another minute I should have told her that I thought just the same about poor girls! So eho confessed all to De Vere, and bade him apologize for her sake, Ah, ah, little flirt!" he re- peated. bitterly, CHAPTER XVI, Things went onsmoothly as usual at Lancaster Park after Mrs. Weet had given her consent to my Lady's clever plan. They put Richard West'e child out of their heads for awhile • and began their preparations for the guests who wore ex - petted to arrive the last of May, to wee come the returning master of Lancaster Park. Mrs. West found time in the hub- bub to fit up a tidy little room next her own for the little American niece who was coming to her from so far away. Then she, too, die -missed the matter from her mind, save now and then when in solitary moments she .'Would wonder, era,, herself Whale Dick West child wouldthe lite; and if eho would be old enough to put to school.

So the day drew near for Leonora's ar- rival, and the great house was now filled with guests -twenty in all -whom Lady Lancaeter had bidden to the feast, pre- pared in honor of her nephew, the Lord of Lancaster, So the day wee come at last, and Lady Lancaster in the drawingn•oom awaited her nephew, :while the housekeeper in the kitchen awaited her niece, It was one of the most beautiful of June days. The air was sweet and warm, the sky was clear and blue, all nature seemed to smile on the homecoming of the mas- ter. Mrs. West, having given her orders in the kitchen, repaired to her own special sitting -room, a small apartment tment on the second floor, with a sunny window look- ing out upon the rear grounds of the house. She had put a bouquet of roses in a vase on the mantel, and some small pots of simple, sweet-smelling flowers on the window -sill, to brighten up the place for the child's eyes. "It will look so cheerful. Children al- ways love flowers," she said. She pulled forward a prettylittle child's rocking -chair that she a rowgatdown from the immense garret. She arranged a pretty little red -and -white tidy over the back. • "In a little while they will be here, for John went to meet them with the carriage a good wbile ago," she said to herself. "Dear -me; how nervone I am getting over that child's coming." And she settled her lace cap again and looked into the small mirror against the wail, wondering how Dick's child would like her aunt's looks. "Dear me, Mrs. West. I did not think you were so vain," said a laughing mum -a- line voice. She turned around quickly. "Oh, my lord, so you're Dome home again!" she cried; "and as full of mis- chief as ever. Welcome, welcome!" "Yes, I ani home again, Mrs. West, and here is what I have brought you," he said, stepping back that she might see the girl who had followed him into the room -the graceful figure in deep 'black, that came up to her with both hands out- stretched, and said, demurely: "How do you do, Aunt West?" For a minute Mrs. Weet did not touch the pretty •white hands held out to her, she was so amazed and eunprised. She managed to stammer out faintly: "Are you Leonora West? 1-I was ex- pecting to see a very young child." The bright face dimpled charmingly. "That was a mistake," she said. I hope you will not be vexed because I am so large!" (To be continued) 'HAIL DRIVING AIDS AUSTRIA. eee Trojan horse Building and Citizens Pay for Helping.
