'girls and no money!'$ia1kthasset was there, he says. the Friths' boy 18 dawn with measlee, and pretty bad, ,poor little chap'." "I am glad, Juliet Dawson is en- gaged," said Jean. Her own ex- perience of matrimony had in no way shaken her faith in the ac- cepted traditions of her class. Qf course, girls must marry. What else could they do? "I think we had better send the little boy some grapes. The Friths have no hot- houses, Was Lady Lister 'there?" :Ivor flashed a look at Thea but she sat unmoved. "Er—yes," he said awkwardly, and hastened to change the sub- ject, After dinner she strolled out on to the terrace, and her father fol- lowed, smoking his cigar. He put his arm round the girl. "You're looking a bit better, 2ld lady," he said affectionately. Her eyes were bright, a touch of color flushed her cheeks. She turn- ed her head, and again that look of sly amusement flashed across her face. "Yes, I shall soon be quite well. You needn't bother about me, Dad- dy." She laughed as she spoke. Ivor gave a sigh of relief. Per- haps things weren't so bad as Net- tie had feared. When Thea said good night, Jean looked up. "Thea, please don't take Jou- Jou up to your room. I do so dis- like dogs in the bedrooms. Put him in the gun -room, dear." "Very well, Mother," "I'11 put him to bed," volunteer- ed Ivor. "Come along, you oldfel- low; no, you're not going up. Come on, Paddy." He strode down the passage, the dogs following him, and again he wondered if perhaps Nettie had misjudged the depth of Thea's grief. W,heu Nurse had gone Thea set- tled herself comfortably in bed, and again she smiled that sly, fleeting smile. The clock on the landing struck two and Thea- woke. Her heart beat so that it deafened her, She strained her ears to listen. It was coming, that Fear which dragged itself along so slowly — yet so strongly. There was the scraping noise of dry scaly skin drawn over the sharp edges of the stairs. The door was opening slowly. Frantically she groped for the light and sat peering over the side of the bed. There was nothing there. The terror .on her face died, changing to a look of cunning. Very quietly she stole out of bed. Cautiously she tiptoed to the door and peeped round it. Throughthe windows of the landing and of the hall the moon shone bright as stealthily she made her way crouch- ing and peering. In the gun -room she switched on the light. Paddy, waking, gave a sharp bark, and Jou-Jou fussed forward affection- ately. She shut the, door quickly and jerked the key. "I'm safe now," she muttered. "I'm safe, I'm safe." She crossed the room to the gun cupboard and unlocked it. For a moment she hesitated, then took from its niche a rook -rifle. In the drawer below were cartridges. Raising the bolt of the rifle, she slid back the block and pushed in a cartridge, then closed the breech with a snap. Paddy sat up and Whined excitedly, while Jou-Jou jumped upon a chair to watch these unusual proceedings with This habitual air of absurd wisdom. Carrying the rifle, the girl mov- ed towards the great arm -chair. Sitting in the chair, she placed the •rifle between her feet, steady- ing the muzzle against her left breast. Again she smiled that odd, sly smile. Then bending down, with the other, hand she pressed the trigger. Ivor awoke, in his mind the con- fused idea that some sharp, sud- den noise bad roused him. He lay listening, and then became aware that downstairs in the gun -room the dogs were barking madly. He switched on the light and sprang from his bed, and as he did so the inner door opened and he saw Jean's face, white and frightened. "What is it, Ivor? I thought I heard a shot." Ivor was unlocking a drawer. He took from it a revolver and loaded it quickly. "I'm not sure," he said. "Some- thing woke me suddenly. Don't come down, Jean. I must see what is is. Ring your bell and tell Mary to wake the men. I won- der if Thea's frightened. You'd better go to her," "Don't go, Ivor, don't go alone. I won't let you go alone." Jean followed him. "Go down the back way and get Prosper and James." She caught at hie arm and pulled him back. "Very well, if you wish it. If I do that, will you go to Thea?" The dogs were still barking as Ivor, with Prosper and a frighten, ed James, approached the gun- :QQm. /1t the sound of footsteps Miawii to t1i fh they began :to whine and snuffle at the door, "17V1ho's there?

"It's locked," he Kahl, "James, go to the stables old g8t Everett, and then go round the house and see' if ally of the windows are open." IVnr's face looked haggard,. "Prosper, I don't Bite it, Those dogs weren't harking, at strangerst they Were. afraid.. We must break open the door." 1 After a while the •lo gave vrt y With a Brash.

Howick Council Holds Their October Meeting • The Council met in the clerk's P.C. of Wingham to have two addi- office, with Reeve E. J. Parrish in the chair. All members were pre- sent. The minutes of the lastlregu- lar meeting were read and on mo- tion of Zurbrigg and Haskins were adopted as read. Carried. Moved by McMichael and Zur- brigg: That we petition the H.E. drew himself together with a jerk. "My God!" His voice rang sharp and high. It fell on the ears -.of Jean. "Ivor!" she called, and in her voice was panic -fear. "Ivor! The light was on in Thea's room, it is empty, she isn't there." Before she could enter the room Prosper caught her by the arm. His face was grey and he made gibbering movements with his lips. "Go back, ma'am, go back!" But in spite of the old man she pressed forward. • Hour by hour the dreadful night wore on. By ten o'clock the next morning the specialist from Lon- don had come and gone. He gave no hope. Two nurses in rustling print d tresses were in charge. Thea had been carried into one of the spare bedrooms: She lay upon the large bedstead with its rich furn- ishings of fine linen and lace. The windows were wide open, and through them came the sleepy ris- ing and falling hum of a threshing machine. Ivor sat by the window, his head in his hands. Jean, utterly pro- strated by the shock, was in bed in charge of Nurse and the recov- ered Mary. Presently the stable bell rang. It was twelve o'clock. Thea opened her eyes. "What day is it?" Ivor started up. "Saturday, darling," he said. "A little louder," whispered the nurse. "Saturday, Thea, dear. Why, is there anything you want me to do? And then again came the hor- rible gasping coughing. The nurses did ther work, and the girl lay still save that now her long white hand plucked nervous- ly at the sheet. Thea was murmuring something once more, the voice was broken and indistinct; her father moved and bent over her. "Oh, 'Other Me,' I am thinking of you." "I can't quite hear, darling." • The nurse shook her head gent- ly. "I don't think she is conscious." Later again. Thea'" lips moved. "I think — she would have loved me," she muttered. And then be- gan again that aimless plucking of the sheet. The gong boomed, and the nurse persuaded Ivor to go downstairs and eat. At -the sight of his master's face the poor shaken old butler broke down sobbing and hurried from the room. James, white and nervous, fidgeted by the sideboard. "You sari go, James." Ivor sat atthe head of his table. Presently, pushing away the plate and dishes, he laid his arms upon the cloth and his head upon -his arms. He did not notice that the door opened, but suddenly he felt a hand upon his shoulder. There, old, fra- gile, shaken., was his little Aunt, and to Ivor it seemed that he had become a child again, weeping in the loving arms which had never failed him in all .the joys and sor- rows -of his life. When it was afternoon Mr. Blankhasset knelt by Thea's bed. In the great .chair by the fireplace sat Aunt Anthea. Jean and Ivor knelt on either side of her, their hands laid across her knees and held together in her soft, tremb- ling clasp. The voice of the old MUIWO()- as lie prayred, ttO l :Min(ghty Gad . .. we humb- ly commend the 80111 of this thy servant, our dear sister, into thy hands, as into the hands of a faith- ful Creator, and most merciful Saviour . . , it May he presented pure and Without spat before thee.

She looked at him for a space unseeingly; then suddenly through the grey, chill indifference of her dying face there broke a last flicker of vitality. And then Death, that opener of prison doors, lifted the latch. At 500 Sloane Street the guests were gathered in the hall and on the doorstep. Gladys, in her plain blue travelling dress, paused to re- ceive a resounding kiss from jov- i7,1 Mr. Warren, red-faced, a little emotional. "God bless you both. God bless you both." He thumped Frank up- on the back and then turned to put his arm round his wife. "Pity we can't have our time over again, Mother." Mr. Elwood, in patent shoes that shone and ,the most elegant emer- ald -green socks, accompanied by Miss Minette, looking more like the bridesmaids of her own fashion plates than any bridesmaid ever looked before, stood ready -armed with bags of confetti. Alice, al- most hysterical with excitement, cried to Gladys to hasten. The servants and workgirls craned from upper windows to see the last of the happy pair. Mrs. Smith, in' a cap with streamers and an en- ormous white satin rosette, threw an old shoe with deadly aim at the stout chauffeur's head. Gladys' pretty, suede -clad foot was on the step of the car, when suddenly she turned and ran back. Her mother, her hand in that of Henry Burns, was standing in the doorway. Impulsively the girl threw her arms round her mother's aeck. "Oh, Mumsie, Mumsie," she whispered, "in all my happiness I can't forget that other poor girl— crying alone in the night."
