he must 'go away at once. His first
Move was to Mr. Beauleigh, 'to tell
him of his decision. On being asked
why he must so suddenly leave Hon.
'ton House, be explained that he loved
• Diana and could nbt in honor speak
of love to her." At which Beauleigh
gasped and demanded to know the
reason. Carstares told him that he
was by profession a highwayman, and
watched him bridle angrily. Before so
agreeable and so smiling, Mr. Beau-
leigh now 'became frigidly polite. He
quite understood Mr. Caries position,
and -er--yes, he honored him for
the course on. which he 'had 'decided.
But Mr. Beauleigh was very, very
cold. Carstares gave Jim orders to
pack immediately, that he might de-
part next day, and reluctantly inform-
ed, Miss Betty of his going. She was
startled and bewildered. She had im-
agined that he would spend all June

cried, and ran into the house.

gers from Mistress Di, with whom he

CHAPTER XIV
Mistress Diana is Unmaidenly
The idyllic summer days passed'
quickly by, and every time °that my
lord spoke of leaving, the outcry was
so indignant an so firm that he has-
tily subsided and told himself he
would stay' just another few days. His
shoulder, having mended up to .a cer-
tain point, refused quite to heal, and
exertion brought the pain back very
swiftly. §o his time was for the most
Part spent with Mistress Di out of
.doors, helping her with her gardening
and 'her chickens -for Diana was an
enthusiastic poultry farmer on a small
scale -and ministering to her various
pets. If' Fido had, a splinter in his
paw, it was to Mr. Carr that he was
taken; if Nellie, the Spaniel, caught
a live rabbit, Mr. Carr would assur-
edly know what to do with it, and,
the same with all the other animals.
The young pair grew closer and clos-
er together, while Miss Betty and
O'Hara Watched from afar, the form-
er filled with pride of her darling, and
satisfaction, and the latter with ap
prehension. O'Hara knew that his
friend was falling Unconsciously in
love, and he feared the time when
John should realize it. He confided
these fears to his Wife, who, with..
young Dad, was 'Staying at , hei
