"It will stand in the way -of

• "-L'''ean-.:never, ask 'a women to be
my wife," he replied.
Diana wantonly 'stripped a rose of
its petals,. letting each fragrant leaf
flutter slowly to they ground.
"I do not see why you cannot, sir."
"No, woman would .share my dis-
grace."
"Ncr?"
"No.''.
"You seers very certain, Mr. Carr.
Pray have you asked the lady?"
"No, madam." Carstares was as
white as she was red, but, he was
holding himself well in hand.
"Then-" the husky voice was
very low-, then -why don't you?"
The slim hand agaipst the tree
trunk was clenched tightly, she ob-
served. In 'his pate face the blue
eyes burnt dark. -
"Because, madani, 'twere -the ac-
tion of a -of a-"
5., "Of 'a what, MT. Carr?"
"A' t''hr! A scoundrel! A black-

He knew that the brown eyes were
glowing and sparkling with unshed
tears, but he kept bis'own turned in -
11.10 exorably the other way. There was
11.36 no 'doubting now 'that she cared,' and
that she knew that he did also. He

There 'was ono reply ''te- 'k'hls: My

He ,flung, himself down in- a chair
before his dressing table and picked
up a nail -file. •
Salter eyed his reflection :in the
glass dismally, and made no move-

"Aye, sir, I did, but -your pardon,

table.
"I am riding to Harley this after-

":Tis a matter of fifteen• miles or
so, your honour. Hadn't ye bet-

'"Damn you, Jim,- be quiet!"
Salter gave it up. +
"Very well, sir," he said, and un-
earthed the .required dress.' "I'11 see
the baggage goes by coach, and sad-
dle the mare and Peter."
"Not Peter.. You go in the coach."
"No, sir." -
"What?"
My lord stared at him., There had
been a note of finality in the respect-
ful tone. My lord became icy.
"You forget yourself, Salter."
"I ask your pardon, sir."
"You will travel in charge 'of my
things as usual"
ing it in gold and 'happiness; but for
the two in the pleasuance the light
had gone out; and the world was very
black. '
"I see," whispered Diana at last.
"Poor lady!"
"I think it was a cursed day that
saw me come into her life," he groan-
ed.
"Perhaps it was,"• her hurt heart
made answer.
He bowed his head.
"I can only hope that she will not
think too hardly of me," be said, very
low. "And that she will find it in her
heart to be sorry -for me -also."
She ,rose arid .came up to him, her.

fingers, and ;bowing, kissed them.
Then he turned on his heel and strode
. swiftly away between the hedges to-
wards the :quiet woods, with a heart
aflame with -passion, and with rebel -
lien' andimpotent fury.. He would go
somewhere quite alone and fight the
devil that was prompting him to .cry
the truth aloud and to •throw,a-side
his 'burden for love, forgetting duty.

among the scattered . flowers, very
still, very Cold with a look of hope-
less longing in her eyes and a great

O'Hara's Mind is Made„ Up
Jim Salter folded one of my lord's
waistcoats and placed it carefully in
an open valise; then he picked up a
coat, and spread it on the bed..pre-
paratory to folding it in such, wise
that no crease should afterwards mar
its smoothness. All about him my
lord's clothing 'was strewn; Mechlin
riffles and cravats adorned one 'chair,
silk,bose another; gorgeous coats
hung on their backs; shoes of every
description,' red -heeled acid white, rid-
ing boots and slippers, stood in a
row, awaiting"a•ttention; wigs perch-
ed coquettishly on handy projections,
and piles of white cambric shirts peep-
ed out from'^an almost finished bag.
• Jim laid the coat tenderly in the
valise, 'coaxing it into decorous folds,
and wondering at the' -same time
*here his master was. He had been
out • all the morning, and on hie re-
turn had looked so ill that Jim had
been worried and wished that 'they
were not. leaving Horton House •quite
so soon. A, ittle while ago my lord
had been closted with his host; Jim
supposed he must he still there. He
remelted out his hand for another
waistcoat, `but before his fingers had
touched it, he stopped, and lifted his
head, . listening. Hasty, impetuous
footsteps sounded on the stairs, arid
came furiously along the corridor•.
The door was twisted open, '''and 'my
lord, stood on the threshold." Jim
scanned the: tired face anxiously, and,
noted With a, sinking heart that the
l bane eyes were blazing and the • line
1i.gs set in, a hard, uneonpromising
'line. The slender. !hand• gripping the

Jim compressed his lisps and ,stow-
ed a shoe away in one corner of ithe
bag.
"You understand. me?" -
"I understand ye well enough, sir."
• "Then that- is -settled." -
"No, sir."
My.lord dropped his eye -glass.
"What the devil do you mean -'N
sir?' "
"I ask your pardon, sir, and I pre-
sume, but I can't and won't let ye -
ride alone with your wound but just
healed." There was nota hint of de-
fiance of impertinence in the, quiet
voice, but it field 'a great determina-
tion:
"You won't, eh? Do you imagine I
am a child?"'
"No, sir."
"Or unable to take care of myself?"
"I -think ye are- weaker than ye
know, sir.';.
"Oh, you do, do' you?"
Jim came up'te 'him. •
"Yell let me ride with ye, sir? I
won't trouble ye, and I can ride 'be-
hind; but. I can't let ye go alone. Ye
.might faint -sir"
"I can, assure you I- am not like to
be a pleasant, companion!" said Car -
stares,. with a savage little Laugh.
"Why, sir, 1 •understand there's
something • troubling ye. Will ye let
me • come?"
My lord scowled up at h.im, - then
relented suddenly.
."As you please."
"Thank ye, sir." Salter returned'to
his‘'packing, cording one bag and
placing it near the door, and quickly
,filling another. 'The piles of linen
grew steadily smaller until they dis-
appeared, and he retired into a cup-
board to reappear with a great arm-
ful of coats and small -clothes.
For : -a long while my lord sat sil-
ent staring blankly before him. He
walked to the window and stood with
his back to the •room, looking out,
then he turned and came back to his
chair. ,Lim, watching him covertly,
noted that the hard glitter had died
pOut of his eyes, and that he looked
wearier than. ever.
Carstared studied. ,his nails for a
