" 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, - interfering? La.ngley's calmness was baffling.

"Nonsense, Queen! as though the whole world Won't know it by to -mor- row !" exclaimed Cathy, sharPly. "DO you think it is a secret when people are ruined ?" .,„. "Ohi , it s not so bad as that," shrink- ing at the idea. "Miss Cosie was so 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.

Then they had almott a civar- sore and owed a rel over it. Poor Garth was so, unhappy ; he says he has never. penny in his life to any man."

"Dear Langley, of course I will prom- ise, if you wish it," shocked at the agi- tation she had caused. " Yes, and you Wiligo home now, and sleep quietly," folding the girl's band between her own. "Von must not take our -troubles too much to heart. AS Cathy says, that will do no one any good. Perhaps in a few days we may 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 went away.. But she was not able to leave he house unobserved.; the door of Gar 'a study was open as she passed. !As he caught sight of her he came fo-k-w rd slowly and, as it -seemed to Que i a little reluctantly.
