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 house, and Dolly had a vantage ground 0 the n rsery landing from which she coul behol1 the asceot of every privileged caller, The sharp birr of the electric bell in th hall vas the signal for he to, escape to th landi g, from which she Aid not usually re turn ntil she bad satisfied her curiosity She s w Neil Macleod waiting in the lowe hall, vstched Fritz come up and down, an was j4ist about to run down to tell Macleo her mother warein a veryeerose mood whe het° k a swift departure.- Then she heard some one else come in, and at that critical moment Duke joined her, the harassed Mies Lasce les bringisg up the rear. Suddenly the c ild grew white and red, and her boson- heaved, as the tones of a voice, dear- er to hor than any earthly sound, fell uPon her atitoniehed ars. "Dike," shesaid in a solemn and falter- ing w japer, " i 'e our darling dad, or, --or ' er his ghost." Then the pair tumbled down the stairs, and, with a cry which her father never forgot, Dolly leaped to his armee There was the unspeakable love of a child's trustiihg heart in that cry, but a touch of womanly yearning too, which was,not with- out it pang to the father's heart. It be- trayed something, -though Attie, after all, cif the uetold and never satisfied .hunger of Dolly'soul. Edward Glrantham had enter- ed his Own house that Jiine morning a sad man, for whom life held but little that was worth the winning, but when he saw the faces of his own children glorified with the love which can neither be bought nor sold, some sweetness stirred the bitter waters- of his soul. " My precious ones !

And so they were, silent or some minutes, and Fritz discretely with- rew. • "Oh, daddy !" said Dol,ly at last, "1 eally think if you had not come to -day, uke end I should not have got through it. Vo made up our minds last night that, if ou did not come soon, We could not really ive." l)olly was given to strong language and xagge ated forms of speech, but she spoke hese ords with a convincing earnestness hich frought the unaccustomed tears to er fat er's eyes. "1 s all not leave you again, my dar- iligs, " he said huskily. "When I go back o \--egos I shall take youeall with me." • "Mummy too ?" Dolly „disengaged her rin and stood up expectant and terribly ager. i She was only a child, but she saw her fat er s face harden. " Ye , dear, your ineeher too." Doll clasped her hands. She had on a loose frjoek of white muslin hanging straight rom hr throat.— It was- not Whiter than he exquisite skin it touched ; her wide, onderful blue eyes, her golden hair brush - d back from her broad, serious brow, gave er a Madonna -like look which struck her ether *ith a eud en awe. "Noy I know here is a God," she said uite solemnly, a A d without a touch of ir- verence. "I t ld Him last night that if 1 ,11 ,h a f re THE ITITRON EXPOSITOR Smog.. He did not bring you home soon, I' shonid not believe anything about Him, nor *ay another prayer." Lord Edward drew her closely to his side. "God does not always allover I in the way we like best, Dolly, but he altveys hears. Is your mother at home this morn- ing ?" , Dolly nodded and pointed up the stair- lled, but he wouldn't see him. It sh we h case. "She is in the study. Mr. Maol;od ca ste is very cross, daddy, because she al- ways sees him." "So it was Macleod," said Lord Edward thoughtfully. "Well, dears, I have COMO home a fortnight earlier than I expeoted, to see your -poor Uncle George, who is so "Oh yes, we went to ask for him yestler- day, and Enid was there!' " Yes,he told me!' " Did you go and see hter first, daddy ?" asked Dolly, with reproach in her voice. "It was hardly out of my way, love; and I found him very ill indeed, but able to talk to me. Now I must go up and see your mother." — "May we come' dad ?" asked Dolly, clinging so his handas if feerful to let iiiin go. • "Not now, dear ; in a few minutes1 I shall send for you," he replied ; and Dilly did not insist, He went up with therrito the *cheek°, in door, spoke a few kind words to the apcjlo. getio -Mies Laseelles, and then left th m.

On this nocasion he did not Oen knock, but he took great paints to close 4he 'door carefully, and even turned the k For he had a long acceent to settle with wife,'and expected nothing but that struggle would be severe. " Who is there ?".she called out sharp 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 is so unlike you to arrive unexpectedly and unannounced. Pray explain yourself, "1 came on account of a letter I had from Spencer Fano about George, and I managed. to get away without any delay." " 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? Have you deen Duke nd Dolly ?" "Yes, I have just eft them. You may as *ell sit down, Betty. I have a good 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 fatherless and motherless too long." She flushed again, and her eyes smarted with angry tears. She dared not say much; the quiet passion with which he spoke was y. is he YI Singers and Speakers During the cold weather singers and speakers almost invariably carry in their grips a bottle of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Line seed and Turpentine as a cure for hoarse- ness, sore throat and throat irritation.

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.

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 IPrzaal'ke yiPouP9weihilegwe reverse the position, and whether you care a little still, if indeed, you have ever oared." 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 were family friends. "To Scotland? Impossible 1 Did they 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. "Good evening, Dugald. Is Mrs. Mac- kinnon at home?" body in the house but Miss Lawrence who No, sir, they're dining out. There' no - came over to -night to stay." " 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.

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- gus, andiEnid a swered gravely: "1 sincerely ipe so."

"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 has had enoug of London, literary and otherwise, in th meantime at least. Ile has gone back to ,Kilravock to—recover." "Oh, I hope they will be happy.

And he is good; his undoubted powers will develop now, if I may use a slang phrase since he has had eis fling. Even -that will not be without ite uses." 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."

"Do you drink ?" asked the millionaire. "Once in a while." "Stop it .1. Stop it for a year and then cotne and see me." The young man broke off the habit at once, and at the end of the year came to see the millionaire again. "Do you smoke ?" asked the successful man. "Now and then." " Stop it !

It took him some time, but he finally worried through the - year and presented himself again. "Do you sehew ?" asked the philanthrops ist. "Yee, I do," was the desperate reply. "Stop it•I Stop it for a year, and then; come and see me again." The young man stopped chewing, but he never came back again.

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.
