CHAPTER XX.
• DUCHESS OF 1VESj1AM.
Lady Edward Grant ham's schoolroom
was in charge of a well meaning and fairly -
equipped person, who given ordinary ma-
terial to work upon, m ght have acquitted
herself with credit. SI e came to Lady Ed-
ward with unexception 1 references from a
kinswoman of her own in.a northern coun-
ty, one of the oldfashiened sort, who con-
eidered It a duty to supervise her own
nursery and schoolroom, The mother of
Dolly and Duke, however, recognized no
such 'duty, and it was only when there was
•any superlative din in t4he school room that
she swooped down upor Miss Lasoelles with
words of sharp rebuke hich were nervous-
ly dreaded. Peace at any price was Miss
Lascellea' motto, and as Lady Edward was
always in her study during schoolroom
hours, Dolly was mistress of the situation.
•Considering the conditions of her life, it is
not marvellous that he wee well Wormed
on a great variety of subjects not usually
found in the .schoolroom curriculum. She
tookethe keenest possible interest in her
mother's pursuits and in her friends, especi-
ally the mysterious inteeviewing • and other
persons who came between breakfast an
lunch. There was a well staircase in th

never forgot, Dolly leaped to his armee
There was the unspeakable love of a child's

womanly yearning too, which was,not with-

man, for whom life held but little that was

some sweetness stirred the bitter waters- of

"1 s all not leave you again, my dar-

Lord Edward drew her closely to his
side. "God does not always allover I in

Dolly nodded and pointed up the stair-
lled, but he wouldn't see him. It sh we h

but without turning her heart
"It lel, Betty," he replied, and She
sprang up from her lounging chair and faced
him, perceptibly reddening. In a second
she recovered herself.
"You, Ted ! How you startle me I It

unannounced. Pray explain yourself,

" Ah, I thought from the Times yester-
day and to -day that the situation in Vagos
was less desperate," she said, with a non-
chalence which was partly assumed. "Per-
haps it has improved sine your hold on the
reins relaxed.
There was something ijnusual and discom
certing in her husband's flook ; she expect-
ed she knew not what.
"1 am very glad to e e you, of course,
on any pretext," she s id. "But what is
wrong, Ted? Why n't you kiss me?

"Yes, I have just eft them. You may

deal to say to you. eorge told me you
were splendidly well, and you look it." 1
The beauty which had fooled him in hie
sober middle age; was at its zenith. She
was the most peerless creature his eyes had
ever beheld, but he had proved that a man
may make a lovely face his own. at the
cost of other things he holds more dear.
"Now the Duke has been telling tales as
usual, Ted, and you are going to lecture
me," she said with a delicious vrimance'as
she threw herself back in her chair. Won't
you sit down and do your duty comfortably,
since you undertake everything in that
painful spirit? I suppose you have seen
George this morning, since you arrive at
this odd time."
"Yes, I have seen him. I found him
rather better than I expected. Fane says
it is even possible he may recover." -
" I never expected anything else, Ted.
George fusses tremendously when he ails a
-little. It is not delicate men who die in
their prime'but strong ones. Well, I'm
waiting. What's the indictment this
time ? •
"It is a long one, Betty ; firat, you have
token money from Kilravock repeatedly.
Don't trouble to deny it. You promised
me that you would break wi h him "
- "If I have taken money ftjorn Kilravock,
Ted, what of it ?"
"He is my cousin, almor4 my brother.
He has never been in love witth me, and you
know it. Besides, goodness knows he has
plenty. It is cherity to help him to spend
it, since Enid won't. • She has . always
knoIven when I had some fro ' him, which
shows how perfectly innocen it is. Well,
whet next ? '
";You have got yourself •n toriously talk-
ed elf with that young Scot h author. I
met him on the doorstep as 3ame in. I
have seen veiled references t it in some of
the society journals sent out to me ; and,
in site of all your promises o me before I
went out last year, you have 60t even drop-
ped one of the acquaintances I forbade you
to keep. My patience is at an end, Betty."'
" You have set your spies on me," she said
'coldly, and her eyes gleamed with anger.
"If you choose to say so, you may, he
answered as coldly. "I know everything
that has gone oh in my absence—everything
you have done and have not done. The
• sum of the one about balances- the other.
But it is at an end. I shall :put the house
in Lumley's hands next week, and you will
go to Vagos with me in October."
She rose to her feet. It was war now,
she saw, and her heart beat quick and fast.
He stoodbefore her, give, calm, imper-
turbable. • She saw in him for the first time
the indomitable determination of his race,
the strong will which he had exercised in
every re ation of life, save that of marriage.
She had fooled him long, tried him far; but
she saw that it had come to an end.
Yo
" have said all this before, Ted,"
she saidj with a touch of sullenness. "1
am of the same mind I was then, I will
not go t Vagos."
"Thethere must be a separation," he
answered calmly. "If -you refuse to ac-
company me in October, I shall not live
with you again. In any case, after to-daY
I shall keep the children entirely in my own
care. God help them, they have been

with angry tears. She dared not say much;

terrible to her. And it raised in her e
secret wonder, a thrill of pride whioh anger-
ed her most of all. It was her master who
stood before her, revealing his strength for
the first time.
" You insult me, Ted," she cried ; but
the tone and manner did not command re -
spent, being those of a petulant child.
"I speak the truth," he answered oold-
ly. "You have belittled and befooled me
long enough, Betty. If you will drag an
hcitiourable; name in the mire, at least the
world shall know you act on your own re-
sponsibility. I blame ; myself for having
been lenient so long. I have been culpable
indeed." ,
"You are in a terrible temper, Ted. It
Is all your brother's fault. He has poison-
ed your mind against me. Yet I am sure
I have been most atteneive, quite servile to
him. I have never missed 'sending to ask
twice for him every day since he lsas been
ill, and one day I went myself, but he
;would not see me.' Could I do more?"
1" Perhaps not. I must go back to him
now, Betty, I !rive to meet Fane there at
luncheon. There is a great deal to hear."
• " And when shall I see you again?" she
asked rebelliously.
t Later in the day. I shall dine here if I
May. I feel myself a- stranger in this house,
Betty. It is notenine—my money has not
paid for its splendour. I am not reproach-
ing you. It is only myself I blame. Prob.
ably I shall -return between six and seven.
In the interval perhaps you will give my
wises your beat consideration. I assure
• yoi they are unalterable."
Ie left her there as abruptly as he had
oo e. Enraged, baffled, almost frightened,
she huddled herself up in her chair. She,
wits a self-willed and a determined woman;
but she knew that she need not pib her
strength agsinst his. His heart was as a
stone towards he. She had Worn him out.
No one saw Lady Edward that day until
shelwent to her own room to dress at six
o'clock. The children were then at tea in
the ;schoolroom she knew, and she ascended
the !stairs, surprising them in the middle of
a very hearty meal. Miss Lascelles rose
confusedly. Her employer's visite to the
schoolroom were associated with rebuke.
But none came. Dolly surveyed her mother
critically, saw that she was white and har-
assed -looking, and promptly guessed that
Vagos was at the bottom of it.
"Isn't dad lovely, mother ?" she asked
cheerfully. "Did you ever see him look so
splendid and so handsome? Perhaps we
think so because_ we haven't seen him for
Ong. Duke will never be so good-look-
ing, ; do you think he will?
Her mother smiled, and her hand fell
with a light cadressing touch on the boy's
golden head.
" Wait fifteen years, Dolly, before you
pass such an authorative opinion. Has
daddy told you we are -all going to Vagos ?"
"Von, mummy." Dolly's eyes suddenly
overflowed. "Will you go 1"
• "1 shall have to, since daddy decrees it.
I daresay I shall like it very much."
Then she,kissed them both, and went
away. She was fastidious in her dressing
that night. Ottilie brought out many new
gowne, but failed to please. She chose a
white one at last, a simple thing for which
the Frenchwoman had some 'contempt. But
her mistress knew why she chose it. She
was dressed before seven, and on the stroke
of the hour she heard a hansom drive up to
the door.
." Tell Frith to ask his lordship to come
to me here," she said quickly. " You need
not Wait, Ottilie."
He came up at once. He was very pale,
she saw, when he entered .the room, and her
heart went out to him ; almost she could
have knelt at his feet. But humility was
hard upon ber, and the struggle was aharp.
" Jt seems long sinde youdeft; Ted. Will
.you say a kind word to me -now?".
"Yes, Betty, I have no wish to be too
hard on you, God knave, but you know as
well as I that something had to be done. I
haveloved you, not wisely, but too well."
"And do you care a little still, Ted ?"
"What do you think ?"
He; took her by the arms and held , her
before him, and she saw in his grave eyes
the light none could bring there but her—
the li, ht which until to -day she had never

She freed herself from hia grasp, and for
the first time for years laid her head on hie
breast. To his amazement he felt her
trembling, her bosom heaving with the
soba be could not repress.
"Take me away, Ted," she cried_ "1
have never realized it all . until to -day.
Take me away, and teaoh me to be good !"
His arms tightened round her, but his
lips uttered no sound.
Don't wait until October, Ted. The
children are dying to go, and I am willing.
Let WI go to Vagoe—soon."
He raised her egain and held her at
arm's length; so that he could see her face.
"It is not possible now, Betty, though I
thank God I have heard these words from
your lips. There will be no Vagos for you
now. Destiny calla you to a different
sphere. George died suddenly at half -past
five."
CHAPTER XXL
'TIS LOVE THAT MAKES TIII1 WORLD 00
ROUND.
There was only Katie left,' I only Katie !
But be would not fail him. 4 great rush
of remorseful tenderness swept over Mac-
leod like a flood; and he hated himself
fiercely for the suffering he had inflicted on
her gehtle heart. Her patience, her sym-
pathy, her sweet common sense, all return-
ed to him ; in a inornenthe saw her as she
was, it pearl among women—worth a thous-
and of the fine London ladies Who had flat-
tered and made much of him, playing with
him as, they might have played with a new
toy, soon to be oast aside. Ii that hour,
one of awful -bitterness to the an's awak-
ened soul, he saw himself as he was, a poor
thing, eaten up with pride of intellectt and
silly personal cenceit, but a nobody after
411. The preeions gift which had once been
e, pure joy to him he had belittled and
soorned until it had hidden its head in
shame. He lashed himself in hie scorn,
/laying hie career Was over; that, like a
meteor, he had Robed across the eky in
momentary brilliance, and that now he
• must disappear into darkness, return into
the obecurity from whence he had sprung.
Back to Kilravook and to Katie. So bon
as she was left, he needed no man's pity;
he could hold up his head with the best o
them. All these conflicting thoughts dash-
ed in quick suoceesion through his throb-
bing brain as he was borne across _London
to Porohester Terrace. When he arrived
there, the maid, who knew him well, met
him at the door, and he saw by her attire
that things were not as usual in the house.
"Mrs. Malcolm and Miss Forbes left for
Scotland this morning, sir, at ten o'clock,"
she said, and she showed a demure enjoy-
ment of elle consternation she created,
Family affairs were of deep interest in Mrs.
'Malcolm's kitchen'the inmates of which

leave no message ?"
"No sir; they have gone to Kilravock.
We are left to shut up the house and go to
Strathyre next week."
Macleod turned from the door, sick at
heart. More chaos—one blow the more,
what mattered it? Saving for Angus, he
was now desolate indeed. Perhaps he
would fail him too. Well,. he would see.
It was about two o'clock When he returned
to the house in Russell Sigiaare. Angus had
just finished lunol and watt preparing to go
out. They now knew nothing of each
other's plans for the day. The one roof
sheltered them; but for that, they were as
strangers to eacli other.
Angus was brushing his hat in the hall
when Macleod -burst in. He saw he was
excited, but was not prepared to be gripped
by the arrna and pushed into the dining.
room.
You're net going out, •Angus. You've
got to stop and in and save me from dam-
nation."
"What's up now ?" asked Angus; but
even as he uttered the question an inkling
of the truth came tb him. •
"Everything. The heavens have fallen,
Angus. On your honor as a gentleman,
have you known all along who Lord Kil-
ravock is—his relation to me, I mean ?"
"1 have known nothing, Neil—believe
me. I may have had my suspicions ; but I
have never heard it even hinted at."
"He sent for me to -day to tell me—what
do you think ?—that he had deoided to pro-
claim our relationship to the World. I
threw his offer in his _teeth, I did, and
he won't forget it in a burry. And to
think it is his money I have been spending
all along. never get my fingers, clean of
that stain. Then I went to Bruton Street,
expecting—as I had a right to eepect—a
word of sympathy at her hands. instead,
her lacquey was bidden kick me out of the
house. From there 1 went to Mrs. Mal-
colm's, to find them gone to Scotland, with-
out a message or a word; so I am 1 a done
man, Angus. If you want to say I have on.
ly got my deserts, say it. A little More or
less will make no difference to me to -day."
He threw himself into a chair and buried
his face in his hands. Angus contemplated
him for a moment in silence, his fine ece
full of strong feeling. He was not snrprie d
that the erisis was reached, though perha
he had not expected it so soon.
"You won't speak, Angus. I told ni
self as I came out that it only needed y
to go back on me to clap the whole affair.'
Angus let his hand fall on Made° 'a
shoulder, and when he spoke the old aff c-
tionate ring was not &brume from his voi e.
"Lift up your head, old man. A doe
man, are you? why, this will be the m k-
ing of you. You are only beginning."
The high, courageous oheerfulnees of tie
voice fell like balm, more sweetly than a y
mere words of sympathy, on Made° s
sore heart. He had thought himself so prior
a c:eature an hour ago, it amazed hini that
another should take it different view. ,
"1 don't know what you mean, Angus;
only I knowyou put heart into me some-
how. Gad 1 what a fool I have been, and
blind. Can you forgile me for—for all ?"
"Rush 1 it is not a question of forgive.
nese. I knew your eyes would be °timed
one day. So Katie has gone! What a pity
she did not wait another day. There is on-
ly one thing you can do, Neil. You mrist
go after her to -day."
"Go after her, to Kilravock, you mean ?"
he said breathlessly.
• " Yes ; by to -night's train. Nothing is
to be gained by staying here."
Macleod sprang to his feet. A new life
• opened up to him at the word.
" Yes, I will, back to Kilravook, and
throw myself at her feet. I otight never to
have let it. If only she will treat me half
as well pe you, Angus, I may begin again."
A somewhat aad smile touched Angus
Fraser'st mouth.
" Half so well 1 You know Retie yet of
a woinap's heart, Neil, though you have
often mitten eloquently of it. When you
know someting more of its divine nature,
you will write better still. God bless you,
and here -for ever."
They were together for the remainder of
the day, and at eight o'cloek Angus saw him
off at Euston. The moment of parting was
painful, because the emotion of whioh they
were partly ashamed was like to master
both. When the train steamed out of the
station, Angus went to the telegraph office
and sent a inessage to Katie, using guarded
words, but such as would help her to under,
stand the situation. The rest . he must
leave, as we have to leave se much, nay all,
to a higher hand. What is it.' that human
hands can fashion or finish, after all? only
what is material; the spiritual and immor-
tal is beyond our control. Yet Angus was
not without hope for his friend. He be-
lieved, as he had said, that his life was only
beginning, and that even the past six
months, full of folly an they had been, would
not be without their useful and sharp les -
8013. Angus felt singularly alone inelsendon
that night. Physically weary, he could not
combat the iinspeakable depression of soul
whioh weighed him down. When he got
back to his rooms, though his pulpit work
was pressing, he could not compose himself
at his desk. At last he left the house once
more ; under the starlit sky, it seemed, he
had room to breathe. He did not often
walk without an object or a goal; it seem-
ed natural to him to turn his steps to Sus-
sex Place. He wanted to be among kindly
folk of his own country, so that he could be
comforted. Mrs. Maokinnon's butler,
Dugald Bain, a native of Braasay, and a
servant such as few possess in these days,
had the most unbounded faith in and rever-
ence for the minister of Trinity. He be-
lieved that he was one of the few whose
spiritual efforts saved the great and evil city
from the swift judgment of the Lord.

kinnon at home?"

" Miss Lawrence !" The color thished
Angus' high, white brow, a sign not unob-
served by the discreet Dugald, to whom it
was a great enlightenment. "Wilt you
take my compliments to MissLawrence, and
ask her if she will see me ?"
"Yes, sir; just step into the library.
She's in the mistress's boudoir, I think. I
will not be a minute."
He was as good tea his word.
"Mies Lawrence will be delighted, sir;
please to step this way."
"1 am not it wise man, Dugald," said
Angus impulsively, and - afterwards could
never recall without a smile these words, or
the solemn shake of the head with which
Dugald received them.

from the larger room. Enid, in a high
blaek frock, was reading by the shade of a
solitary lamp. Angus thought as she rose
to greet him that she looked most unumuilly
pale.
"1 must apologise," he began hastily, but
her swift smile stopped him.
"Pray don't. I could so easily have ex-
cused myself. I am very glad to see you
Sit down. So much has happened of late,J.
feel as if I lived in an unnatural world."
Angus seated himself, and for the mo-
ment could find no words wherewith to ante
wer her. She was so fair, so sweet, so alto-
gether desirable, his heart cried out for her
hungrily, and yet he knew—oh yes, none
better—that this great love of hie life could
only be in vain.
She resumed her seat also, and looked at
him gravely, apparently all unconscious o
what was passing in his mind. Presently
she spoke half -dreamily. "Have you eve
known days which seemed to hold so much
that one has felt, living through them, tha
they represent an immense amount of ex
perience ? This has been one."
" Howie it you are here • to -night, and
alone !" be asked abruptly,
" I am here because my guardian took it
into his head to -day to start on a voyage
round the world. He went to Paris by the
club train, and will join a steamer at Brin-
disi in the course of a few days. I wonder
if you Can explain anything? This morning
Lord Kilravock had an interview with M.
Maoleod. What ite substance was I don't
know, and I was.forbidden to ask. But it
was it stormy interview, and I have no
doubt in my own mind that Lady Edward
was the subject they discussed and dis-
agreed on. .Anyhow, I have never/ seen
Uncle Archibald so upset."
"Macleod told me all that passed be-
tween him and Lord Kilravock, Miss -Law-
rence, but I am not at liberty to reveal it."
"No, of course not. Don't imagine I ex-
pect it. I am not that kind orwoman. Be-
sides, it does not interest me so vitally.
Well, that was happening nuntber one. Then
I heard that Miss Forbes had gone off sud-
denly to Sootland. I had expected to see
her this afternoon. Then no doubt you
have heard that the Duke of Evesham died
this evening ?"
"No 1" exclaimed Angus, in much sur-
prise. " I have not seen an evening paper.
Surely it was quite unexpected ?"
"Not ;quite, lthink," answered Enid,and
he saw her eyes grow tenderly sad. " Lord
Edward Grantham arrived from Vagos in
the morning, in ample time to see hie
brother rd iiettle everything."
" Tha will make many changes."
"Yes ; the chief one occupying tny
thoughts is that Lady Edward is now
Duchess of Evesham. Somehow, we have
never thought of that possibility. The
Duke was, comparatively speaking, your*,
and we expected him to be long-lived. •I
have been thinking of her all the evening,
wondering how she will use her great ;Ire-
sponsibilities."
"She may rig to them," suggested 'An-

" Has he ?" er look and tone betrayed
the liveliest inte st. "That sounds hope-
ful. 1 Did Mies orbes leave him without
letting him kno ? I looks like it!' -
" Yes ; he did not keep his appointment
last night, and I suppose it was the last
straw."
"And in wha mood has he gone, may I
ask, twithout fee ing impertinent ?"
Angus rose te his feet and took a turn
across the roo , pondering in his mind
whether he shou • tell her all.
"1 think the will -be happy yet. Ile

otherwise, in th meantime at least. Ile

"Oh, I hope they will be happy. She is

and an indescribable aweetness stole into
her face—" oh, surely I am the happiest of
women !"
Angus looked at her steadily, and his
own face flushed hotly as she realized that
her words could have but one meaning. He
took a step nearer, and before his eager gaze
hers fell.
"I love you, far above me as you are, as
a man loves the woman he would call wife.
If I have too much presumed, bid me go. If
not—but how dare I ? It is too much haps
piness."

was the wistfulness of a child in her
voice. ',,But—take tne or leave me, as you
will."

The Economy of Generosity:
It was it maxim of Lord Bacon that, when
it was necessary to economize, it was better
to look after petty savings thanto descend
to. petty gettings. The loose cash that
many person. throw away timelessly and
worse would often form a basis of fortune
and independence for life. These waistere
are their own worst enemies'though gener-
erally found among the ranks of those who.
rail at the injustice of "the world." But if
a Man will not be Ida own friend, how out
he expect that others will? Orderly
men of moderato means have always some-
thing left in their pockets to help- others;
whereas your prodigal and careless- fellows
who spend all and never find an opportune
ity for helping anybody. It is poor econo-
my, however, to be a ecrule. Narroweinind-
nese in living and in dealing is generally
short-sighted and leads to failure. The
penny soul, it is said never came to two-
pence. Generosity and liberality, prove the
beet policy after all.—From Samuel
