CHAPTER XXL -Continued.
I can't get you to see,' she said, that I
am rich. When I say that I will marry a'
man he need not wait to provide it home, for.
1 have abundance of money.'
That may be the case,' said Smith, but
your money, Phyllis, has nothing to do
with me. I Would not ask the richeet girl
in the universe to come to me unleas I had
sufficient means of my own to support her in
comfort. I am a very proud man, Phyllis,
I don't think there is a prouder in the
'world. I don't think I care ;a penny -piece
for rank or grandeur, but it would kill me
if any one were to say of me, his wife _sup-
ports him.' I am not rich enough to marry
you yet, darling, bu t soon, very soon, the
home will be ready.'
1 They walked on through the pleasant gar-
dens and talked a good deal. They were
lovers in reality for the time being. Phyl-
'lis forgot her ambitions and her importanee.
She was nothing for the time but a young
girl walking beside the man who interested
her more than any other man. She was not
'naturally affectionate, but she was impul-
:sive, and there were moments when it would
have been possible even to her to $ orifice
all for love. Had John Smith presse home
his advantage on the occasion of that first
meeting, Phyllis might almost have o neent-
ed to be openly engaged -to him. He ad no
idea, however, of doing this. It w no
more possible to him just then to elieve
that Phyllis Martindale would pia him
false than it would have been for him o be-
lieve that the Ban would stop shining n the
sky. He was perfectly contented wit the
present et4e of things, and asked for noth-
ing more y t.
• Well, ohn, I must go,' she said, at
last. 'l'v had a happy morning. It was
nice to me t you again. I feel at home
with you.'
Nature, ly,' said John, with a smile.
I am g ing back to all the grandeur and
the state,' said Phyllis, with a sigh. 'It
isn't half, half as nice as being with you.'
' Never mind,' be replied, tenderly, it
won't be for long. I have been working
frightfully hard eince last October. Now
that I have seen you I won't leave a sto e,
no, not one Stone unturned to win that fame
which means money. •Phyllis, I want to
whisper a secret to you. I know I an a
very insignificant sort of fellow, but iti is
posetble, more than possible, that I may be
famous some day.'
'That would be nice,' she replied. To
be talked about, and made much of, and
considered very clever, would be delightful.
Sometimes I, she paused and
blushed. 'How are you going to be fam-
ous John ?' she continued.
`I'am writing a book, my darling.'
She pouted.
• Is that alt? So many people do that.'
There are books and books,' he replied.
Mine shall set the world talking. I am
not at all ashamed of saying this, for my
idea is not my own.'
And the book will really make yeu fem.
one, John? You must tell me more about
it presently. You must come and read it -to
me some day. Will you"
Of course. I hope to see you constantly
in the future.'
But, please, you are not to tell any one
that we are engaged.'
If you really wish it I won't, but that
state of things cannot contintie long.'
But for the present, please,John, Prom-
ise you won't breathe it to' mortal kg the
preeent.'
`If you really wish it, Phyllis. After all,
our secret will be the more precious if we
keep it. to ourselves, Yes, I will respect
your wishes, dear ; I won't tell a soul what
makes my life almost too ,happy until you
give me leave.'
'That is settled then,said Phyllis,gayly ;
and you will come to us to -night ; Miss
Prettyman is giving one of her large At
Homes. Aunt Lucy will be there,and she'll
glare at us and be furious, and we'll talk to
one another and appear great friends. What
fun -what fan it will be ! By the way,
John, I have just one question t� ask before
we part for a few hours. Why didn't you
come to see me yesterday at twelve o'olock ?
I felt very angry with you when you failed
to keep your appointment. I almost re-
solved never to see you or to speak to you
again:'.
Butyou couldn't keep to that, could
you, sweetheart? I could not keep the en-
gagement which Daintree had made for me,
because I had made another for the same
hour myself.'
And you wouldn't throw it over?'
I couldn't, Phyllis; it meant a great
deal.'
More than me?' She pouted again, and
her face grew angry.
It was not more than you; you are
more to me than all else in the universe,'
replied the young man,' but it was a bus -
nen engagement, which I coul4 only defer
by making another suffer. aintree did
not tell me of his meeting you ntil just be-
fore I was o see the persod ith whorn I
had made t e appointment. I ad not eyem
time to tel graph.'
I wond r you didn't throw! the person
over,' said hyllis. Of course: if we were
really open y engaged you'd leg nothing in-
terfere wit your seeitig me?'
Smith ga ,ed at her in astonishment.
After a b 'ef pause,' he said :
Let us forget about yesterday. In fu-
ture you will have nothing to complain of,'
I will put you to the test,' she said at
once. Is twelve o'clock your busiest
hour ?'
Yes ; I am en aged then with Daintree.'
4 Come and see Ime to -morrow at twelve ;
we can be alone. 1 We can have a good time
all by ourselves,'
'Bub, Phyllis, ny darling, that is Dein-
tree's time. I arr employed by Daintree.
Any other hour, darling; but just then my
time is not my on.'
It shall be to -morrow ; and you shall
spend it with me. I insist.'
But what will Daintree say ?'
Nothing, when I insist, Besides, he is
coming to us to -night, and I shall aperde to
him myself.'
If you arrange it with him I suppose for

Mrs. Vincent's hawk -like eye ir had failed to

is the age for women -women have every-
thing their 1 own way now, and who can ,
wonder whim they have to deal with such
pigmies as the men of the present day -but,

' Nothin ,' said Mrs, Vincent. '1 Flee
now whom ou mean. I happen to know,
that young man. I shall go and speak to
him.'
'But wh is he, my dear friend -can he
possibly be young Lord Rousborough ? Do
do, tell me is name before pen leave me,
and do liksga dear 'mil bring bim up and
introduce him -he is 'exactly after Annie'si

i
said Mrs. Vincent, with a ce tain vicious
toss of her hend. '1 have no doubt you and
your dattfh er will be immensely enamored
of him, Mrs.Fortescue, His name is John'
Smith, of Eugland. 'Good-bye. I must

speak to hi at once.'
Fat Mrs. Forteacue leant', back in her
chair with sigh. She begen to fan herself
vigorously, ad to wonder if her rather pe-
culiar Hen , Mrs. Vincent, had suddenly
teken lefty° of her senses.
' John .8 ith,of England,' ahe murmured.
'One woul really suppose there was only
one John 5 ith in the nation. I fail to un-
deretand he -she must have been making
fun of me. I don't believe such a nice -look-
ing man could be called John' Smith.'
Meanwhile, Mrs. Vincent was making
her way step by step across the crowded
drawing -room, to the place near the door,
where the square shoulders and well -formed
head had placed themselves'. 16 the crowd
she could see 'nothing more, but the bead
and shoulders towered above most other
heads, snd made themselves visible by
their easy absence of all self-consciousness.
'1 will, Il must speak to him' murmured
the angry woman: 'Has he dared to come
after Phyllte again l Well, there is only
one thing forme to do, and that is to watch
them both th-night, and then to acquaint
Phyllis's guardian with -the state of affairs
in the morning. If Phyllis marries that
fellow allis lost -I know his' kind -no get-
ting round them -no making a harvest out
of them. They can't be terrified, and they
oan't be tratnpled on. If there are people I
dread, it is the 'John Smiths of England.'

11.She had almost reached the entrance door
when he suddenly stood still, and gaud
about her with a keen sense of disappoi t-
ment and altnost alarm.
'Letitia,' she said, going up to Mies
Prettyman and touching her richly -em-
broidered :leave, 'where is Phy1lis-1 w ut

'1 don't think you oan just now.' said
Miss Prettyinan. '1 saw her g? into the

e
Miss Prettyman. '1 never saw him until
to -night. His name is Mr. Smith -he seems
a very nice fellow.'
' Thst is all ydti know. Mr. Smith-na
total stranger,comes to talk to Phyllise-to
Phyllis the heiress, and you are perfectly
satisfied to let her etay alone with him.'
' Certainly,' said Mis. Prettyman. 1 I
can abundantly trust Phyllis to take care ,of
herself, and at any rate if I did wish to in-
terfere it wctuld be useless, . as she would
not permit hi for e moment. 1 Phyllis is; a
very determined character, I can assure yo -n#
Mrs. Vincent, and will not be led like: a
lambmwith a silken cord.'
Some fresh guests were coming up the
stairs. Miss rrettyrnan was obliged to at-
tend to them, and Mrs. Vincent, pale with
anger, had toi emother her feelings as beet
she could. . I ,
'Letitia Prettyman is a fool,' she inur- -
mired. 'If it were not absolutely necee-
sary that I should have her completely in
my control.' would certainly get some other
guardian for ,Phyllis. As it is, I must have
Mr.Marshall nn my side without a moment's
delay. Phyllis shall ngt marry that dread-
ful Mr. Smith if I can prevent it.'
Mns. Vincent made her way back to the
crowded drawing -room, and sat in such a
position that he could Rea what was goireg
on without being partioularly noticed her-

She felt dreadfully cross and worried, for
i
hitherto her p ans had 'succeeded marvel-
lously. Letit a.Prettyman was as wax in
her dexterous and ornel hands. All those
comforts, those luxuries, those advantages
which she had hoped would come to her
when Phyllis's fortune arrived, were now
practically her own. She had indeed the
advantage of e double income, and by a
careful use of poor Miss PrettOman's dire
secret, she con d nee that lady's I money as
well as Pholliels. It mattered nothing at

sat now looking round her, and Was pleased
to observe that Daintree still talked to
