CHAPTERIV.
Allan and his friend were alone in the
breakfast -room one morning discussing plans
for the day, after the rest of the party had left
it. Allan was leaning against the wall close
-to the conservatory-doon, but with his back
to the conservatory ; his friend, pacing the.
room with a sharp, jerky step, betraying
an excessive irritability either of mood or of
temperament, stopped before him now and
again.
"Miss Watermeyr refuses to go on the
water with us ?" he asked.
"She thinks it will be 'too hot."
"With such a breeze and a cloudy sky !
Stuff! I wonder a lady of her talent could
not invent a more veritable seeming inver-
acity ; but she did not care to trouble her-
self to do so, that is the insolence of it -the
intolerable insolence of it." (The last
words were spoken too low to be heard
by Allan, who was absorbed in his own
thoughts.)
Making one of his abrupt pollees before
putting his tawny face to his, and his
hands on his Loulders, Mr. !Smith said,- .
"1 am afraid, my poor boy, you do not
speed in your wooing.
"11 at all, with a very ill speed," Allan
answered; looking up into the dark face
with one of his peculiansmiles, womanishly
tender and 'melancholy for so resolutely-
noulded a mouth.
" I have no experience of the malady from
which you suffer," John Smith said.; " I
love you, 'my boy, more than I have loved
any woman -more than I could love any
woman; still I am obliged to believe in the
existence of that malady. Men were creat -
d a little lower than the angels; it is the
emporary subjection to an inferior being
which seems for most men, thank Heaven,
ot for all, to be a phase nature ordains that
hey should pass through) Which keeps them
ower. I think I can give no stronger proof
Df my love for you than by waiting to see
he issue of your malady, in spite of the
sospitable reception -the most hospitable en-
ertainment-of my gracious hostess."
" Clare's position is a most cruel one. If
he has not been perfectly courteous to you,
John, you certainly have not been coneilia-
ory in manner to her; you started with a
harsh pre -judgment."-
" Founded only on my conviction that no
-omen lives -worthy to be worshipped as
you worship your cousin -that she being, by
our own admission, proud, was specially
mworthy. As to her manner towards me,
hat is nothing ; I ani too ineffably gifted
ith self-esteem to be troubled or ruffled by
girl's small insolences."
"If you can be lenient in your judgment
f a woman, be so of Clare ;. or, rather, do
ot judge her at all. There -is no need you
:hould, and you zee her under the most un-
favorable circumstances."
"Oh, I will be most lenient -pay her
ack courtesy for scorn. But if she is going
o play the shrew to you, I shall be sorely
empted to play Petruehio to her,"
" John !"-there wan a dangerous light in
Ulan's eyes as he spoke-" if! we are to
ontinue friends, this must be. a closed
ubjeca I cannot hear it touched as you
ouch it."
" I understand. I can be silent and pa --
tient with my sick boy. But I muststand by
and watch the game for you."
Mr. Smith's eyes at this moment Wander-
ed from Allan's face to the shrubs and flow-
ers behind it. A misehievous gleam came
into them as they lighted- on something from
which they were quickly averted. Speak-
ing a little more loudly than he had spoken
before, and with elaborate distinctness, he
said :
" I must just observe this before I leb the
subject drop. I have always thought that
women have a wondrous power of tyrannous
insolence ; but I do think that Miss Clare
Watermeyr is in this way supremely 'gifted.
1 -but I know that I only harass you by inv
snarling and carping -I have no wish to do
that; your fair cousin is a sufficient irri-
tant. Come, let -us go on the river. What
is the matter, my dear fellow'?"
At a slight noise behind -him Allan ,had
turned sharply round. The door at the
other end of -the conservatory shut softly is
he did so; his eyes fell on a garden -glove
and a freshly -gathered rose dropped mid-
way between that door and the one opening
on the terrace.
Allan turned upon Smith fiercely.
"You raised your voice on purpose -you
saw her there! Do you call that manly?
It was cowardly to strike at a woman so;
cowardly, I say, and cruel and treacher-
ous."
Mr. Smith looked steadily into tke young
man's agitated face; there was a reddish
glow in his eyes,. otherwise his face said
little, his tongue nothing. His silence was
well calculated. After a few moments: -

"1 do believe so," Smith answered, "and

"1 can only repeat," Allan rejoined,
"that if we are to continue frien s, this
-subject nsust be avoided, and such oonduct
as yours to -day not repeOted."
" We are to continue friends," Mr. Smith
said, evasively. "Now, let us work off our
wrath and vexation of srit in the b t pos-
sible way, by making that mode of a
boat of yours fly up the Willow Cree in no

" To kiss a glove, for instance," he said,
" it must be a curious ceremony ; 14t me re-

He -had just raised her glove t his lips
when Clare came into the cons rvatory.
She had heard her cousin inquiring for My.

moment, an ordinary woman 1 -ould hardly
have denied that Mr. Smith had a face, if
not handsome or beautiful, att active to an
unusual degree,- I say an ordi ary woman,
because at such times it was a. face of the
type most dangerous to such women as, of
neither the highest nor the 1owst order of
moral or spiritual development, go to form
the mass of womankind.
In it there was a suggestion of possible
lawlessness and 'tyranny, wh ch, while it
would have -repelled a nature o the highest
order, through being out of lr rmony with
its knowledge aria love of benuty, would
have inspired one 'of the lowest with unmiti-
gated fear, because such a nature could have
no perception of the redeeming qualities
which:Might render innocuous those it did
perceive.
. Clare, noticing for the first tlme that the
uncared-for locks on which thel blaze of sun-
light fell were pretty freely sp inkled with
grey, was wondering how this- , ame about,
what Mr. Smith's age could be when sud-
denly he rose and came to tie window at

It was more the manner than the 'words
themselves that were offensive •o Clare, and
something in the direct unflin thing glance
that accompanied: them, made her shrink
from entering upon any engage ent of looks
or words.
.
She retreated a few paces fro n the win-
dow - as she anewered-" Ar we. hostile
powers, Mr. Smith? I am un ware either
that this is the case, or why i should be
so." -Her tone was wonderfully gentle, yet
it seemed to have, no softening 1. uence.
" You use a woman's privileg , Miss Wa-
teemeyr---Serou must ask me wh t privilege,

" Consider - the question as ed," Clare
said, making an: attempt to 'ire a light,
bantering tone to the conver ation. But
Mr. Smith choSe to. remain immovably
grave, and to speak with harsh severity of
tone.

privilege of your sex. Men and women al-
ways meet on unequal terms; from men is
exacted the strictest truth and honor, while
the haw of long use allows to women the
weapons of cunning and falsehood." Clare
flushed that she usheed in an almost intoler-
able way, partly from anger, partly from a
sense of detected guilt.
M
his advantage and continuedr,Smith marked
-
"Then, again, a woman may with im-
punity treat a man with the most deliberate
insolence, even under circumstances that
make it doubly hard for him to endure it -
when, for instance, their relations are those
of hostess and guest; but any deviation
from courtesy, ordinary and extraordinary,
on the part of the man, is considered a
crime against all the,most sacred supersti-
tions of man the individual, and of that criri-
ous compound of amalgamated mankind
known as society."
"You, at -least, are free from such sacred
superstitions !" cried Clare, in uncontroll-
able passion.
"True. I am at daggers -drawn with su-
perstition, and wage war against those
empty conventionalities."
"Sir ! I do not think you will find it
possible to carry on.,such a warfare under
this roof." •
"Madam ! how -am I to understand you?"
Mr. Smith scowled at Clare formidably from
under his brows as he asked the question.
" in any way you please, sir," she an-
swered, too angryto be intimidated.
Mr. Smith bowed profoundly. Clare
swept away.
Poor Clare! yet she deserved no pity.
Mr. Smith wrote a letter that day to a
friend abroad. This is an extract from it :
"You ask me how I intend to amuse my-
self. In a novel manner -in breaking in a
woman, taming a shrew, not for my own
use, but for a friend. I am the guest of
this `schone Teufelinn.' This morning she
gave me notice to quit; before to -morrow
at this time she shall have asked me eto stay
-nay, more, she shall have asked iny par-
don. If I describe this fair shrew to -you,
you will fall in love with my description;
80 1 forbear, only saying that though she
had the most beautiful foot in the world, as
you might inclineto maintain, I could not
tolerate seeing it set on a man's neck, that
man my friend S though she had the most
beautiful hand in the world, as white as a
lily, as smooth as sculptored marble, as soft
as • a mole's skin' (a new simile that), I
would not let itplay with a man's heart
strings as with the strings of a harp -to
make mimic or disport" at its pleasure,. It is
well you are not in my place; you would
fall a victim at once; you would rave of her
wonderful eyes, her sunshine -spun hair, her
teeth, lips, chin ; her brow would dazzle
your blind by its whiteness, and the chang-
ing rose of her cheek would-. Are you
.not dying with longing and envy? I hope
so."
Clare had a miserable day. From her
window up -stab's, in her usual sitting -room,
she (lid not feel safe from the observations
of her audacious guest; she noted all the
proceedings of -her cousin and his friend.
Again that morning they were upon the
river. Mr. Smith seemed to have a passion
for rowing. 'In the afternoon they rode over
to the neighboring town. She was not ask-
ed to join them in either expedition. '
As she dressed for dinner she saw thetwo
young men leaning against the balustrade of
the terrace partly in the shadow of the
cedar, talking earnestly. It seemed to Clare
that Allan was pleading or remonstratkng
with his companion, who presently tnrsied
sharply round -his face had been half avent-
ed-put both hands upon Allan's ehoulders,
and looked into bis face with an expression
which made -Clare think-" If I loved that
Mr. Smith, and Allan were a woman,; this
little scene would have :killed me with
jealousy."
- Then she laughed to herself, and looked
in the glass; she had an exquisite taste- in
dress; to -day she had not been careless. As
the light laugh- rippled over her face, and
chased the lines of glocim and sullenness' be-
fore it, she was not ill -pleased with the re-
sult of her efforts.
'What is thsuse, if I cannot keep iy
temper?" she said. "1 will keep it." _n
When she went into the drawing -room,
she found all the little party assembled.
there.
Mr. Stanner was saying, "'Leave us so
so! on, Mr. -Smith ! indeed you -must not. You
have seen nothing, done nothing yet. We
are Very proud of the beauty of anus' neigh-
borhood, and must show it to you, who can
so well appreciate it."
"For many reasons I shall ;be serry to
leave so suddenly, but," -and he looked full
at Clare,-" unless O most improbable event
happens, I shall be forced to do so. Under
ordinary circumstances, it would have af-
forded me great pleasure to be Miss Water-
meyr's guest; but the circumstances which
depide me no longer to avail myself of her
hospitality are not_ordinary."
Clare pretended to be absorbed in Mrs.
Andrews' embroidery. She commented upon.
her progress, stooping so as partially to hide
her face; then diluter was announced.
Mr. Smith was grave and subdued in his
manner all that evening; warmly affection-
ate towards Allan, he Was also scrupulously,
though icily, courteous to Clare -thus, ats
she felt, placing her still more in the worse -
position; if he had been angry and insolent, .
she would have been- much more at her ease;
of course he knew this.
Allan and Clare, chancing to be alone
on the terrace for a few minutes, Clare
said,
Y-ou are very sorry that your friend
leaves you so soon ?"
" I confess I am very sorry."
"Why do you not persuade him to stay?),
"1 cannot. I have tried."
" If you have failed, no one, I am sure, is
likely to succeed."
" No one but yourself. He has determin-
ed to 'leave because, for some reason he will
not explain, he is sure that his presence here
is, to use his own words, offensive to you,
the 'mistress of the house,' -and so, in that
way, injurious to me."
" He leaves, then, after all, on your ac-
count -out of consideration to you ?" Clare
sail:His friendship for me is very strong,
and very disinterested. I assure you that
he has a heart as loving:as it is noble, though
you would. not think so." .
" I certainly should not think so, Allan.
Well, I do not wish to scare away your
friend ; I have no right to do so. This
morning, stung by some of his cynicisms, I
lost my temper and offended Mr. Smith.
Shall 1 apologise and ask him to remain?
will if you wish it."
" Apologise ! No, eertainly. I should
not choose you to apologise to any man,"
Allan answered, proudly.
Clare winced, but let the expression pass
for wide. She had spoken with an affectation
of carelessness ; of course, Allan could not
guess her complex motives for this conces-
sion -a concession Which delighted him, for
his friend's sake and his own. It was too
dusk outdoors now for him to see the ex-
pression of her face, or he might not have
beenso much delighted.
" But though 1 should not wish, or like,
you to apologise to John, feeling sure that
he must have been at least equally in fault,7,
-Allan continued, after a pause-" I should
be deeply gratified, dear Clare., by your ex-
pressing to him a wish that he should post-
pone his departure."
" I will do so, Allan -and you must take
the consequences,"
"They will be that he will remain; a
word from you will be enough. Shall
bring him to you now ?"
"No; I will choose my own time and
place; there is no hurry. You said he
meant to leave to -morrow night-"
"One word more before you go in. Am:
I very selfish in allowing you to ask my
' friend to stay? Is his presence really, dis-
agreeable to you ?"
"1 can tolerate it," Clare answered, with
a laugh Allan did not understand. "Now,
don't keep me out. any longer; it is quite
cool."
" May I venture to thank you thus ?" Al-
lan touched Clare's hand with his lips. She
withdrew her hand, no angrily or hastily -
the truth being that, full of other thoughts,
she hardly noticed the action.
They had approached near enough to the
windows for the here from the room to fall
upon them. Mr. Smith noticed all the
points of this little by -play ---Clare's air of
abstraction, Allan's llushed and eager -eyed
look of happiness. ;
"What is up now ?" thought the cynic.
He' further thought, as he presently looked
at Clare's hand resting on the back of a
crimson velvet chair, as she stood a few
minutes, listening tolerantly to Allan's com-
ments on the beauty of the scene -lawns,
woods, river, and the distant hills -that,
just for the sake of experience, he would not
mind re-enacting the little comedy of the
other morning, substituting the lady's hand
for the lady's glove.
Presently the expression of Clare's face
become more .than tolerant -animated, in-
terested. Mr. Smith stole from the near
neighborhood Of the cousins, but not before
he bad become aware with a curious thrill,
that Allan was talking of his student life,
and of the valuable services rendered him by
his friend during that critical period.
"Poor dear Allan !" soliloquised Clare,
when she was alone for the night. Perhaps
even to herself she aid not explain this sud-
den compassion.
"For All that, even if I believed it, I have
been insulted, insolently treated, and must
have my revenge." And her face flushed
proudly, and she smiled into her own eyes
shining upon her from the glass, dilated
with anticipation of triumph. The expres-
sion of her face changed as she continued :
" Allan is wonderfully good, wonderfully
guileless; he can be firin too, even imperi-
ous, I expect. He would not choose the to
apologise to any- man !" She repeated that,
dwelling on the word 'choose.' "1 hate
myself for making him suffer, yet I take de-
light in it too. If he were not so good I
should be more likely to love him, I think.
He is too good for me."
Then, in strong contrast to hero cousin's
frank, fairlace, she saw the dark inscrrit-
able countenance of Mr. Smith. Clare had
strange dreame.that night.
CHAPTER VI.
Clare's first thought on . waking was ,of
what she had to do that day, and a how- ehe
would do it -whether lightly and jestingly,
or in a way that should make a serious
scene.
"After all, it is not much use deciding lie -
forehand," she said to herself as she went
down -stairs -recognising by these words
that it was not her mood, but Mr. Smith's
that would give its tone to the interview.
Mr. Smith was always up and out early-.
She put on her garden hat and gloves, and
with basket and scissors went down the ter-
race -steps and passed the lawn to the shel-
tered roseey. She filled her basket; stroll-
ing slowly back, through a circuitous well -
screened path, she, as she had anticipated,
met Mr. Smith coming from the direction of
the river. He WAS passing her with a bow,
when she stopped him.
" Are you implacable, Mr. Smith-unfcir-
givingly resentful? Will you leave us to-
day ?" she asked, with a winning smile.
"1 should have done so yesterday, hit
that I hesitated to gis e Allan that pain."
"And you will go to -day ?"
"Most certainly. Having ascertained
this, have you any further commands ?"
"1 command you 'to remain," Clare said,
laughing, but not, for all that, at ease.
Mr. Smith raised his brows, and nave no
other sign. I teach you the proper answer- to
1.,
Make to a lady's command? To hear is to
obey.'"
"1 render no obedience where I owe no
Mr. Smith," Clare began.
"1 am and have been, quite serious, Miss -
W,actwermelea
"am now quite serious. Will
you -reconsider yOur determination? I
promised my cousin that I would ask you
not to go. Will you, for his sake, consent
toyelreA
in_?
"
, Ilan and I -hardly need a. media,
stole You have now, in compliance withi
your promise, asked me to go. I will no
disappoint you by complying with your re-
quest. We understand each other, I think,
and things, of course, remain as they were."
"1 ask you, then, as a personal favor, to
abandon. your intention of leaving us so sud-
denly.'
Clare looked conscious of having made sh.
immense concession, but she saw no mien
ing in Mr. Smith's face, so she continued,JL If I spoke angrily, unbecomingly, yes-
terday -if I forgot that you were my guest
-I ask your pardon for having done so."
The ice so far broken, swayed by the im-
pulse of the moment, she went on to say a
good deal more than she intended, or than
was "fitting.

SPRING-, 1894.
With unqualified pleasure, we beg to announce to the people of Seaforth
and surrounding country that our large, varied and attractive stock is now
complete in almost every line of each department. We have been at unusual
pains this season in selecting our stock. Although we have not made a per-
sonal trip to European countries, we have had the agents *of manufacturers
from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland at our
doors, each one of whom was confined to ourselves for taking orders in thin
vicinity. Of course, we do not pretend to say that we import aii lines of
goods we handle from the older countries. Canada, with the protection afford-
ed her, has come to the front with many lines of goods, notably Staples and
Clothing. In these we have endeavored to select the very best values from
local makers. Our stock of Silks, Dress Goods, Linens, Hosiery and Gloves
will be found exceptionally fine. Prints and Cretonnes, Millinery goods, Car-
pets and Oil Cloths, elegant in designs. Clothing, Tweeds, Worsteds, Hats.
and Caps remarkably good values.
The verdict of our staff of employees is, that never before, since doing
business in Seaforth, have we started a season with a stock so rich, varied,
full, and prices so low.
