This ass ranee did not tend to ease Neil's
anxiety, b t as they were immediately ad-
mitted b a footman, no further remark
was possi ale. Neil was surprised to find
himself in spacious hall as big as Kilravock
sohoolroo , panelled with oak, and furn-
ished quai tly with many a medaeval touch;
a wide stai case, painted white and carpeted
in vivid c imson, led up to the reception
rooms. A Ibuzz ot talk greeted them on the

ting. NeiI followed Merrick through the
Wide fettling deorki into a long, narrow,
panelled moil], where many people were
gathered. As the man uttered Merrick's
name, several rooked round in recognition.
Lady Edward herself took no notice till
Merrick had made his way to her side.
"Ah, how do you do? I hardly expected
you," she said. "To what happy circum-
stance arn I indebted for the honor ?"
The tone was a bantering one, the smile
which accompanied it marked by a touch of
coquetry. Neil stood back, regarding her

a
cuitemed eyes shOiseemed the most beauti-
ful thing he had ever seen. Lady Edward
was beautiful; no one disputed it, herself
leaet of all. She wail a woman in her early
prime, over thirty, but preserving the com-
plexion and the Look of extreme youth.
Her dress of soft white, made in the Greek
style, and loosely confined by a silver girdle,
could not conceal 'the enchanting grace of
her figure, and the cunningly devised dreg).
ery showed a bare arm, ouch as sculptors
dream of but seldom see, The -rich dark
hair, also dressed in Grecian style, had a
silver arrow through it. It curled naturally
on her low white forehead and made an ex-
quisitely becoming frame to a piquant and
lovely face. But it was not loveliness alone
which distinguished it; it was the faceof a
clever woman, and one of strong character.
But the face of a good woman—no. •
"I have some one to present to you, Lady
Edward," said Merrick'as he bent, over
ber extended hand. "His name is Neil
Macleod, and here is his credential."
Neil, standing nervously apart, heard
every word. Lady Edward took the {book
and glanced at its outer cover first, thr at
the title -page.
" Kailyard ?" she asked, showing her
dazzling teeth in a wicked little smile.
" No 'Isaid Merrick. "Come here, _Neil;
Lady Edward is pleased to make your ac-
quaintance."
"He has taken the words out of my
• mouth, Mr. Macleod. Nevertheless they
are true," she said, turning her eyes full on
Neil's face as he stood modestly by. :Her
look approved his outward appearance and
Merrick, observing, quietly, saw, too,
his unassuming manner in no way displeased
her.
"1 bid you welcome to Lenclon. Mr.
Merrick has told me something of Your
career. I trustit will be successful and
happy." •
It was a kind speech which, falling font
some lips would have meant much. Lady
Edward, however, meant nothing. She
made prettyespeeches the one moment and
cancelled them the next. No one could be
more daringly rade, yet to some women and
most men her rudeness w(13 more bewitch-
ing than the gracious courtesy of othere.'
"You maystay by me if you like," she
said, flashing her rOyal smile upon him.
"And I shall introduce you to some who
may be useful. Mr. Merrick, you know
everybody. I daresay you will find some,
one to talk to."
Merrick smiled as he turned away. He
knew that he was diamissed, and Why.
"Not your first 'isit to London, Mr.
Macleod, I think," said Lady Edward's
rich voice, "Did I not meet you last sea-
son at the Nemadio or some other club?"
"1 think not, Lady Edward. Had that
honor ever been mine, I should never have
forgotten it."
The words had a flattering ring, but ihe
said them simply and ,sincerely. She suffe ed
er eyes to meet his seriously for a mome t,
nd inwardly admired his strong, fine f ce
nd noble head. There was sornethi
Ise, too, which appealed to her—a si
Hefty, a freshness, a straight sincerity
hich she seldom encountered in her world.
"You must come to me another after-
oon, when I do not receive; then we can
alk," she said gracieusly. "Do yoti see
hat tall man coming in now? That is
eslie Bingham, the critic; you must know
im. He can do wonders with a review—
most as much as our friend Merriok—only
e is dreadfully honest. I have suffered at
s hands, I can tell you."
"'Von write ?" queried Neil eagerly.
She made a little grimace behind her
athery fan.
" What a question 1 It does not de-
rve an answer. Ask somebody else ; Bing -
m, if you like. He will give you the
uth."
Neil colored, consciolus of his great mis-
ke. While he was pursing his stupidity
not being ready with an apology, she en-
yed his silence, his honest, straight look,
s nervousness in her presence. They
ere fresh tributes, and Lady Edward loved
new sensation.
"If Merrick would only dress him," she
as saying to herself, "he would be the
ndsomest man in the room."
Presently some new arrivals claimed her
tention, a,nd Neil found himself adrift in
e crowd. He was not sorry to step back -
rd to a quiet corner, where he could
udy her unobserved.- His artistic eye de-
hted in her beauty, which he had never
n equalled or excelled. The whole scene
s a revelation to WM, and he felt like
e in a dream. Presently he saw come
ding through one of the smaller doors the
ure of a girl child. She wore a white
ek, which touched her ankles ; her fair
ir was swept back from her sweet, serious
e, in which two large, lustrous eyes

"1 am looking for Mr. Merrick," she
said, in a very sweet, calm voice. "Do'
you know him?"
" Yes ; shall I find him for you.? I sawe
hini going into the other room it moment'
ago.'
" Oh, never mind. I only wanted him to
take me to the tea-room. He always does,
only I am late coming down, because I was
writing to Daddy. You may take me if you
like. Of course we haven't been introduced,
but it won't matter. If .you tell me your
name I shall tell you mine. It is Dolly.
Lady Edward is my mother."
"Mine is Neil Macleod. I am a friend of
Mr. Merrick. He brought me here."
"Oh, thab's all right then. Mother
won't say a word. Let's go now, or the
foie-gras sandwiches will be all eaten.
They do go for them. Don't you like
them ?"
"1 have never tasted them in my life,"

CHAPTER VII.
DOLLY EXPLAINS,
The tea-room was scarcely less orowded
than the drawing -room; but Dolly, familiar
with the scene, managed to find t small
table in a quiet corner at which she seated
herself, and promptly ordered Neil to bring
her what she wanted.
r' Now tell me about yourself. Do you
write books ?" she asked, when the foie-gras
sandwiches ceased to Charm.,
"I have written one," Neil answered,
smiling down into her serious face. Seri -
omen was Dolly's strong point. She id.
don smiled, differing in this respect from
het mother, who used her smiles as current
coin to obtain the things ohe wanted in the
world, and these were many.
"Oh, have you?" enquired Dolly, in a
distinctly disappointed voice. "Why,
everybody writes books. I sehnin't when r
grow up. I'm determined on it, and I've
told mummy so."
1" Perhaps you'll change your mind,"
stiggested Well, much amused.
" No I won't. Wait till you Nee. There
are too many books and no literature; that's
what Uncle Kilravock says."
Neil gave a decided start. To hear the
familiar name fall so unexpectedly from
Dolly's lips filled him with a natural sur-
•prIleis Lord Kilravock your uncle ?" he asked
quickly.
"Well, not exactly, • He's mamma's
guardian. She doesn't like him in the
least, and they quarrel dreadfully—I've
heard them. But then you see he is much
older than maMma, and seems like her
father. I should never speak. to him at all
only for Enid. She's roll it darling."
"Is she?" said Neil, repressing with an
effort his desire to learn who Enid was.
But Dolly supplied him with the information
without delay.
"She couldn't be such a darling if she
Were Kilravook's real daughter. He adopt-
ed her. Her father was a colonel in the In-
dia!) army, and was kilied on the Afghan
frontier. They made him it V. C. for it.
Enid was born out there, and she was taken
to aee the Queen at Windsor when she
came home. - She cried and tried to scratch
the Queen's face. She told me so herself so
it's quite true. But, of course, she has ap-
• ologized since."
Neil laughed, more at the quaint recital
than the inaident itself. •
" You said you were writing to your
father when we metepetaire " he said
presently. "He is away from home
then ?"
He saw he had made a mistake. The
child's bosom heaved, her lips quivered, her
lovely eyes brimmed with tears. But she
made a successful effort to control himself.
• "Daddy ie always away from home," she
said quietly. "He is the Governor of
Vagos, and has to live there. We live here
beceuse the climate of West Africa does not
suit mamma."
"Nor you," said Neil.
"Nobody asks whether it would suit me
or not. Sometimes in the night I think I'll
get up and run all the way to Vagos, I want
him so dreadfully. But it takes such a lot
of pocket money. Once I began to save it,
but Enid's hirthday-eame, and of couree I
had to give her something; and other things
kept turning up till I gave it up. But next
time papa comes Duke and I are going to
make him take us. We do so hate living
here without him."
" Is Duke your brother?"
"Yes; his name is Marmaduke Lawrence;
that was Enid's father's name. Duke is
eight, I am thirteen. Mamma does not
allow him to come down on Sundays, but I
muggle things up to him, and imitate the
people to amuse him. Do you see that
unny old lady with the pink cheeks and
ellow curls? Mamma- says she mot be a
undred. I can make up just like her; even
Mamma laughs."
I " Shall you imitate me after I am gone?"
sked Neil.
She raised her small, fair head and eyed
im critically.
"You'd be difficult to !do; you're just an
rdinary man. You're Scotch, aren't, you ?
nid has a Scotch maid who talks like you,
nd she is fond of her. Her name is Jessie
nmsden. She calls me Miss Doley ; it is so
unny to hear her. Enid is very fond of
be Scotch. She says they are so true, and
sieelieve she would like to marry a Scotch -
"Is she here to -day?"
"Ob dear no! Enid does' not 05 into so-
iety on Sunday. It's one of her fads. She
ays there are six days in the week to do it
n, and Sunday is not really ours. It be-
ngs to God."
Again Neil was startled to hear such sen-
ment in such a place, and his interest in
ysterious Enid increased.
'"Yes, Enid is like that," said Dolly,
odding significantly to emphasize the im-
ression she had made. "She is perfect,
ut not goody-goody. Oh, no, she is as
lly as possible always. When Duke and
play at Heaven, we make everybody there
ke Daddy and Enid."
For a moment Neil did nett speak. The
ethos of the child's speech went ta his
art. In those few wors she revealed
ore of herself and her innerlife, its sorrows
d deprivations, than she knew. But it
as eafe with him.
"Shall we go upstairs now ?" Mamma
11 go on at me if I talk to you too long.
have never seen Mr. Merrick' yet. He
uses me dreadfully. He thinks himself
• clever, but 1 can read between the
es."
She swept her soft silken skirts from the
air, and laid her slender' white fingers on
✓ companion's arm with all the grace of a
Weed woman of the world. Thirteen
e was a new study in childhood for Neil
acleod.
On the stairs they encountered Merrick
th Lady Edward on his arm.
"Oh, there you are Dolly. I hope my
all daughter has not'been boring you, Mr.
acleod, she said.
Quite the reverse, Lady Edward," an-
me than at 'any moment since he ha
sted from the school bairns on the road b
oh Dorlick.
Dolly looked profoundly -surprised.
"How very odd I" she said quaintly
t's make haste to get down before the
d swered Neil, truly enough. "1 have sel-
y dom been more entertained."
1 "You are usurping my prerogatives at
every turn, Macleod, ' said Merrick, laugh-
ingly. "Usually I have the honor of taking
y Misa Dolly into tea."
"1 couldn't find you, and I asked him
myself, so you needn't find fault with him,"
said Dolly, with dignity. "Oh,.there s

She was off in a moment, Neil following
her as best he might.
He looks an ingenuous boy," observed
Lady Edward, carelessly, as she passed on.
"Have you read the book? Is there any-
thing in it?"
"A good deal. 1 ehould like to *hear
what you think of it."
"1 did not think you had so high an
opinion of my critical faculty, said Lady
Edward with a slight curl of the lip.
"1 should say you were about the best
judge of modern fiction in London at the
present moment," he replied, candidly
enough.
She fltished slightly; she had so seldom in
the cOurse of their acquaintance won from

His lip curled as he spoke'and Lady Ed-
ward laughed. She new his measureless
contempt for the restless fever, the perpet-
ual desire for parade, which held a tection
of the Bohemian world in thrall. She rather
deepised it herself, but was seldom absent
from its public gatheringe, partily because
the people attracted her, and partly because
she was iniatible for the homage which
never failed her. She was clever eno gh to
know that it was not a homage paid to her
genius, whose limitations none knew better
than herself, but a vulgar tribute to her
striking gowns' to the coronet sparkling on
her brow, andher position as the wife of
of one of the Queen'a representatives in a
foreign dependency, where, if she willed,
she could hold a little court of her own.
All these things set Lady Edward apart,
and her literary proclivities made her
doubly interesting to the great crowd iof un-
distinguished persona whose names appear-
ed on the Nomadic Club list.
"1 have great trouble with Doll," she
said by-and-by. "1 quite expect that one
day she will be off to Vagos to her father."
"Oh, that will pass ; when she is a few
years older she will find the climate of
Vagos impossible too," he said, with One of
the veiled impertinences which- were always
edged with truth,
"Yea, but how to manage her in the in-
terval. Kilravock says I anght to send her
to school, but she helps to amuse the Duke,
and—I can't afford it."
" What ate Lord Edward's Views?'
asked Merrick, with interest. Her face in-
etantly clouded, and she rose with some-
thing of childish petulence in her air.
"Lord Edward, as I have tried to ex-
plain to you before is a man of one idea.
He thinks Vagos is the proper place for
Dolly's mother; but so far I have defied
him, and I mean to do so. Shall we go ,up
upstairs ?"
Merrick bowed, and followed her, think.
ing with some compassion of the absent
peer fulfilling her Majesty's commands at
such cost. He had once tried to tell Lady
Edward where her duty lay, but . had not
repeated the experiment. It was now After
aix o'clock, and Merrick, rememberingan
evening engagement, sought out Macleod
and asked whether he would like to go.
" Presently ; I should like to say.good-
bye to my friend Mies Dolly, if I might,"
said Macled ; and after some difficulty he
found her out.
" Oh, are you going? Shall we see you
next Sunday ?"
"If Lady Edward is so good as to invite
"If you have not bored her she will, but I
ask you," said Miss Dolly, with the strange
mixture of childish franknesa and Worldly
wisdom which was at once fascinat-
ing and repelling. "Pll tell Enid about
you too. If you want very badly to
see her, I'll tell you how you can. She
comes to tea on Saturdays always, at half -
past four, because Duke and I have a half -
holiday; and mamma allows us to come
OWD.
Macleod thanked her,
but he inwardly
thought that, were that the only chance of
meeting Dolly's idol, it was small indeed.
Merrick was waiting for him in the hall,
looking a trifle impatient.
"I've to dine at the Cafe Verrey at seven
with two Parisian journalists. Interesting
enough in their way. Will you come ?"
"I think not, if you will excuse me,"
said Neil, remembering his promise to An-
gus. "It's very kind of you to take so
much trouble about me."
"Trouble, my dear fellow • Pm taking
none. Lady Edward is part of tny Sunday
programme. Not that it is of any use, but
I've got into the habit of it, and Dolly
amuses me. How do you like her ?"
" The child, do you mean?"
"Oh, no; it will be time enough to ask
rou that five years hence. It's her mother

"Any number of distingushed people

Merrick laughed, and paused at a shel-

had now lifted, and a fresh, keen wind was
blowing from the North.

That Baby.
There was it baby in the railway tar the
other day. It was not an unusual child,
but it had a decidedly bright face and
pretty ways. For the first few miles she
was very quiet, and her blue eyes looked
around in wonderment, for evidently it was
the little one's first ride on the cars. Then
she became used to the rear and rumble,
the baby proclivites asserted themselves,
.and she began to play with her father's
mustache. At first the father and .mother
were the only parties interested, but soon a
young lady in an adjacent seat nudged her
escort and directed his attention to the
laughing child. He looked- up, remarked
that it was a pretty baby and tried to look
unconcerned, but it was noticed that his
eyes wandered back to the spot occupied ley
the happy family, and he commenced to
smile. The baby pulled the hair of an old
lady in front, who turned around savagely
and glared at the father with it look that
plainly said, "Nuisances should be left at
home. But she caught sight of the laugh-
ing eyes of the baby and when she turned
back she seemed pleased about something.
Several others had become interested in the
ehild by this time—business men -and young
clerks, old ladies and girls—and when the
baby hands grasped the large silk hat of her
father and placed it on her own head, it
