" Did not Mr. Claton—did not your
brother wish me to know ?" stammered
Queenie, soniewhatnervously. Had she
intruded herself where she was not
wanted? would they. think herofficious, -

La.ngley's calmness was baffling.
Cathy, indeed, looked as if she had been
crying, but she kept .her face averted
and did not speak: '
"1 will go back if I am not wanted, if
I am not tb know," faltered the girl,
growing red and. conused., .
"Nonsense, Queen! as though the

you think it is a secret when people are

"Ohi
, it s not so bad as that," shrink-

vague : she Said he had lost money,that
something had happened to the bank ; '
you know her way. It ,WaS irnpoSsible
to understand, and. then I said I must go
to Langley."
" Things are as bad asthey can be,"
replied Langley, sorrowfully, while
Cathy shivered a little and drew closer
to the fire. I " The shock has been so
bad for Garth.; nothing Could have been

more sudden and unexpected. We were
all as cheerful as possible esteiday
morning, and then the letter cabe from
Garth's solicitor, and w,hen Ga tit went
over to A [ to investigate th matter,
it was all Wei true. There had • been a
panic, and a run on the local benk ; the
thoroughfarewasquite blocked up with
people, farmers and trades-peo e, want-
ing to draw out their money. f course,
with such a rim there was only one re!
suit ; the batik broke, and al I Garth's
hard-earned .saving S are lost: It was
between two and three theusan4l pounds
that he had ihvested ; not muc1 of a for-

Queenie pondered a little ov

ened.

"Langley, don't you think Mr. Ches-

thin and husky with emotion; "promise

"Dear Langley, of course I will prom-

" Yes, and you Wiligo home now, and

between her own. "Von must not take

Cathy says, that will do no one any

see our way -a little clearer."
I will °pill you wish it,' repl ed.
Queenie, gently. And indeed what m re
could she find to say to this -pati nt
ereature who was looking at her `th
such tired eyes? "Dear, dear Langl y,
if you only knew how sorry I am for ou
all," he said, kissing her, --and then' he
