--
" Yee, ma'am ; please to walk in."
Upetairs to Mrs. Malcolm's spacious
drawing room Enid marched, astonished at
her wn temerity. It was a relief to find it
unt nanted ; the few minutes she was kept
wai ing gave her time to collect her thoughts
and frame a: fieting explanation of her
call.
Itio, mildly curious, but in no way chs-
oonclerted, entered presently,with Miss Law;
rence's card in her hand. The two young
women, bowing, eyed each other keenly,
both favorably impressed. Kate looked
very winsome and approachable, albeit she
lacked style. • But her face indicated
strerigth and firmness. Enid divined that
here something could be done.
"I must apologize," she began in her
sweetest voice, which wasivery sweet indeed.
" Poesibly you may have heard my name
from three different pereons—h1r. Macleod,
Mr. racier, or some member of the Mackin-
non amily."
" 'es,' answered Katie, with a frank
smil "1 have often heard of you; and
and ry aunt, I think, has met you at Mrs.
Mak i anon s.
" tery likely. I wished to know you,
Miss Forbes, and I could find no intermedi.
ary, so I ventured to act on my own eespon-
sibilitv," said Enid, as frankly. " If Mrs.
Malcolm does not leave her room till five
o'clock, will you come out with me - for an
hour
Katie looked surprised.
"1 am going to.a club tea in Fleet street,
where a relative of mine is entertaining
this afternoon. It might ainuse you, if
you are interested in that sort of thing."
- " 1 am interested in everything," Katie
answered. "Is it the Quill Pen Cub you
are talking of ?"
The smile. I suppose Mr. Macleod has
told you about it. Well, will you come?
The carriage is at the door, and I promise to •
bring you back in an hour."
"You are very kind. I should like it, if
you will kindly wait till I dress. I will
not keep you many minutes. I can tell my
aunt; she does not sleep in the afternoon,
but the doctor obliges her to lie down for
two hours, a great trial to her."
• "I have always'heard that if women
would follow that advice earlier in life they
would last longer and suffer less," observed
Enid, and Katie, smiling somewhat -sadly,
•left the • room. She kept her word, drees-
•inge in a space of ttne which surprised
Enid, though she was o sluggard herself.
et there was nothing slovenly about
Katie. Enid eyed her keenly as they de-
scended the stairs together, and the careful
details of the c.0 try girl's toilet pleased
her. Yes, a worna of whom much could '
be made. Enid felt less and less patient
with Neil Macleod.
"1 had the pleas re of residing under the
same roof with Mr. Macleod during the
Easter recess," she said, as they settled
themselves comfort bly in the carriage.
- "Yes, at Lady Edward Grantham's;
Neil told Ka le answered, wondering
that she felt so entirely at home with this
girl whom she had never before seen. There
is a kinship', which is independent of time
or distance or space. Soul leaps to soul in
a moment of meeting, and all these are
bridged or forgotten. So it was with theae
two ; thus began a friendship- destined to
bless them both. - Perfect naturalness was
the secret of their 'intimate 'frankness the
first day of their meeting; each felt entirely
convinced of the other's sincerity.
Enid saw that regarding Lady Edward
rantham Katie suspected nothing. Her's
Was n difficult task, and might , be a painful
one, but something had to be done. Such
was her reasoning, which subsequent events
proved correct.
" Mr. Macleod may be there," said Enid,
cautiously. •
" Yes, he said he should go, but that I
would not care for it."
" Oh; he might at least have given you a
thence to form your ow opinion," said
Enid, drily. "1)0 you all.w him to guide
and direct you in everythi • g ?"
• At_this Katie blushed sli Mier, but with.
out reseotment.
"He knows what he W uld wish me to
see in London," she said, n answer which
caused Emid's pellucid eyes to flash.
He may be very angr with me, then,
but I will take the risk. I" you are to be
his wife, Miss Forbes it is surely right that
you should share some of his experiences.
In a word, what is sauce for the gander,
eta. Do you think me a dreadful. kiiid of,
.person
She bent slightly forward, the face under
the drooping plumes very soft and tender.
" No ; I was only thinking how delight
ful you were, and marvelling that yo
should be so kind to me."
"I have been interested in 'you forsom
time for Mr. Macleod's sake. - We ar
always interested in the wives of gent
USOS.
•
"Bht ram not his wife yet," eaid Katie,
with a sigh.
, " No ; but you will be soon, I hope very
Soon." Enid could not help emphasing
these words, and Kate .noticed it.
"Do you really ?think Mr: Macleod a
genius ?" she asked, with a wistful eager.
nese. "Is it the general verdict?"
" Yes, dear, the verdict of allwho have
understandingly read his book.. But he is
in danger, mod he must, be saved."
" In danger of what?" asked Katie, in'
sudden alarm. " 1 sec a great change in
him, of course; but what can you mean?"
" Perhaps you will understand what I
mean after we leave the place -weare going,
to. He has been much run after in London,
and—and—well, it is not given to every
one to withstand such flaetery as has been
poured on him. You remember your own
Burns:"
"It dta not spoil him," said Katie,
quickly." He estimated it at its true
worth. There is no sign in his life or writ-.
ing that Edinburgh opoiled him. He was
above it all ; but with Neil, I fear it is dif-
ferent ; indeed, I see
„" You meat marry him soon, Katie. May:
I call you Katie ? We cannot afford to
lose him or to have his fine gifts run to seed.
Marry him new and take all risks. It will
repay you, and we shall be thegainers."
Katie's eyes filled with tearo. No one
had ever spoken to her in a like fashion,
and to think that half an hour ago she
had known Enid Lawrence only byname !
" Perhaps:I take an unwarrantable lib-
erty," said Enid, humbly. "But I -.seem
goaded to do -things which would make
most people stand aghast. I think I am
right this time. You are not angry with
me ?" •
"Oh, no," cried Retie. "If only I might
tell you all I have suffered, all that is in my
heart."
By the time the carriage brought them to
their destination they understood each
other, and confidence was complete.
CHAPTER XV.
• • A LITERNRY TEA.
The habitation of the Quill Pena was
in a basement flat near the Embankment, a
pleasant place enough, albeit it seldom saw
the light of day. Its modest accommoda-
tion sufficed for the ordinary uees of
the club frequentere, chiefly women journ-
alists and country members, who 'found' it ,
a convenient meeting and resting place,
where current periodicals could be studied,
and even a piece of quiet work done when
opportunity offe ed. But it was quite in-
adequate for the,weekly crush of the house
teas, which were held ' under conditions
which it wits impossible any human being
could enjoy. .
When one of the aristocratic pat- •
rons of the club consented to act as hostess
the throng became a tightly wedged mass,
in which it was hardly possible to move.
So dense was the crush that particular af-
ternoon, among which Lady Edward Grant-
ham's men servants moved painfully, with
teapots in their hands andtheir noses in
the air, that Enid and Katie weze quite
ten minutes before they got into the outer
room.
" We must just stand, dear, until we get
equeezed forward," said Enid, grasping her
companion by the arm. So they stood a
few moments, Enid listening with much in-
ward amusement to a young man and
maiden 'behind discussing Lady Edwar 's
• appearance and embroidering the details of
• her life. But presently they became rater'
pp to date in their remarks.
' You can't see !Neil Macleod, I suppo e,

talked to her it -was noticeable that he laid

him e'at that particular moment she wel-

, "isn't thisawful ? We want to get up
to Lady Edward, but I fear it is impossible.
May I introduce Mr. Merrick to you, Miss

, " Miss Forbes ! repeatul Merrick, in sur-

• "The heat is too -much for Miss Forbes,
Cordd you take her out to a quiet seat in the
writing -room ?" said Enid, quickly . "And
I'll go hp and find Lady Edward."
She meant Macleod, and Merrick knew
it. A vast pity for the girl beside him
stirred his heart, and showed ittelf in his
face. Katie, forgetful of her past distrust,
laid her fingers gratefully on his arm, and
suffered him to lead her back to a cooler,
quieter place. Familiar with his surround--
ings, he managed to get her a cup of tea
from the little kitchen, and as she sipped
it the color gradually returned to her face.
"1 must not keep you here, Mr. Merrick.
I can sit quietly until Mr. Lawrence c-omes

to be found on the outekirta of the aristo-
cracy. She is Mrs. Gorman, one of the
most brilliant women we have in literary
society. And that little elf -like creature
just coming in is the anthor of Mono-
tones.' There's a strong muster here to-
day."
" What is it for, this sort of thing ?"
asked Katie, wonderingly. "Does it serve
any end ?"
"Faith, you've given me a poser, Miss
Forbes. Aek somebody elite. Some must
find' enjoyirient in it, for the crush never
fails. The successful writers evidently
• come to show off, the unsuooessful to com-
pare notes and button -hole any unhappy
editor who happens to look in. How could
anything clean and wholesome come out of,
a seething mass like this—any high thought,
I mean? say Miss Forbes,' it was a
mistake after all, and I'm the first one to
OWLI it."
What ?" lurked Katie, wondering at his
diejointed remarks.
" Macleod's comingetO London. I wish to
God I had let him alone."
Now,
these wend:it were spoken gravely
enoughto raise in Katie coniderablee alarm.
But she kept her colintenance well—she be-
longed to a race that bears anguish without
a sign. She did not like Merrick, but for
the first time she discerned in him a quality
which had found no place in her first esti-
mate of him. She felt that he had eympa-
thy with her, and sympathy was the last
attribute with which she would have cred-
ited him. So we jump to conclusions re-
garding one another, forgetting that the,
heart of man isknown only to his Maker.
"Tell me why you think it a mistake,"
she managed to say in a low voice, which
only supreme effort steadied. —
"He hasn't balance ; -it has swept him
clean off his feet. I seldom give advice,
because it is never welcome, Miss Forbes, so
I have said nothing to Macleod. But you,
who have his beet interests at heart, will do
well to marry him soon and take hirte away
before!.t is too late."
Thee was a certain mercilessness in this
plain epeech which almost savored of cruel-
ity, bilt-Merriek was not mistaken in Katie
Ferber!.
"1 ,know—at least I can guess—what
you mean," she said, in a low voice. "But
what you suggest is impossible. The prob-
ability is that before I return to Scotland
our engagement will be at an end."
" Will you break it, Miss Forbes ?"
"If I do not, he will," she answered,
quite simply; and Mereick bit his lip.
e" It is a matter with which, Lord knows,
I have small business to meddle," he said,
gruffly, • "But at least you will acquit me
daily baser motive, and believe that I do
feel it deeply. Macleod has powers of the
highest order, but his temperament, like
`that of many geniuses who have gone before
him, is fraught with the keenest peril to
himself. I thought London would make a
man of him, and gave him full scope. Un-
fortunately he has fallen into the hands of
an unscrupulous woman, my fault again,
since I introduced them. I don't know
what he may have said to you—the truth is
he has never done an honest hour's work
since the day he entered her house. He
imagines himself in love with her ; so he is,
after a fashion, but it will pass. If it is
possible to you, don't give him up; he will
return heart-wholeone day, and it is a life
worth saving."
Enid Lawrence's view precisely—he even
Iliad her very words.
"You are speaking f Lady Edward,"
said Katie, rising to 1 er feet, her face
now very white. " Wil you take me to
her ?"
Merrick hesitated onl a moment, then
dismissed from his mind the fear that she
'would make a scene. He took her hand on
his arm without deznur.
" There's a lull. 1 1 daresay we'll manage
it if you don't miid a little jostling," he
said, and they camel by elow degrees to the
other end of the long room within sight of
the tea -table, which the horde had com-
pletely cleared. Lady Edward still stood
behind it, talking to several men, an ex-
quisite figure in pink muslin, and a won-
derful rose garden on her head ; the only
perfectly cool and unruffled person among
the heated throng. Macleod stood a little
•apart, ting to Enid, but his eyes were on
Lady Edward's face. Dolly stood not afar
off, munching a piece of cake she had man-
aged to rescue from the marauders. She
was enjoying herself immensely. People
were here delight, and the bigger the crush
the more delightful in Dcilly's eyes. In
these six months Macleod had changed, not
only in .style of dress, but his whole de-
meanour and look. Not a trace of the
modest, slightly shrinking- country lad re-
mained. He was a finished dandy down to
his finger tiPs. The resemblance which had
struck both" Enid and . Lady Edward, but
which had never again been mentioned be-
tween theme grew more pronounced day by
day. More than onee, ite a fashionable
rout, Macleod had encountered a somewhat
wondering glance which had irritated him,

Weapons of Destru tion,
. Jus as war teaches geograph and
famili rises the public with places a$1 place
names that otherwise might • neveij have
been heard of, so the terrible) exigere ies of
the campaign beget a fresh interest in the
soldier's armoury and the weaponslpf de-
structiore with which men in these • latter
days kill one another. It takes six light,
quicklfiring field guns to make a h ttery,
and -each is served by thirty artillerymen.
There are six horses to each gun; 1 and as
the weight of gun, carriage and liniber is
not more than 38 cwt., it is dragged from
one place to another with great celerity.
The barrel of the gun is rifled, and a shell
rotates at the "nuzzle 244 times a Hecond.
.A pound of cordite, the explosive of the
"pale green flashes," giVe a greater , initial
velocity to a projectile than three pounds of
gunpowder. The Lee-Metford rifle is
sighted up to a mile and a -half, and the
bullet leaves the muzzle at the rate of 2,000
feet a second. In the flight of the bullet
in the case of the old Martini -Henry, the
rise was eight feet, seven inches in five hun-
dred yards ;with the Lee-Metford this has
been brought down to five feet. Toe in-

range is leas by nearly 3'50 - yards,. The -
dreaded Maxim literally putnps out lead in

with deadly tertamty. It lets off 600 shots

it has to be encased in a water jacket, and

Out of His Latitude.
It would be hard to say w.hich a "funny
man" likes best, a listener to whom all his
jokes are new and " aide -splitting," or one
of those ,dull souls who take everything
seriously. An ex governor of Wisconsin,.
famous ae a story teller, is reported' by the
Chicago Tribune as having related an anec-
dote of his own experience with a man of
the latter class. The governor was at a -
clam -bake in New Jersey, and after dinner
was called upon for a epeech.
I started off by saying that I had eaten so
many of their low -neck clams that I wasn't
in the least sort of condition for speech-
making. At that moment a long -faced old
man directly across the table scowled at me
and said in a stage whisper:
Little -neck clams, little neeks—not
low necks."
I paid no attention to him and went on.
with my remarks. After dinner he followed
me out of the hall.
" You are from Wisconsin, ain't you 1"
he asked.
"Yea," I answered.
"Von don't have any clams out there, I
reckon ?"
Well," said I, tie have some, but it's
a good way to water, and in driving them
across the country their feet get sore and
they don't thrive very well."
He gave me a look that was worth a dol-
lar and a half.
" Why, man alive !" said he, " clams
ain't got no feet."
He turned away, and shortly afterward
approached one of my friends.
