'Then you are willing to: under,

'Quite.'
'Very well, then, that is settled.
Let us cove across and see if any
one has stepped in before us.'
Cecil, in great excitement, flew
up stairs to tell her mother, and re-
appeared in a minute or two in her
hat and jacket. The father and
daughter crossed the quiet subur-
ban road to the opposite house,
where such • a different life story
had been lived. The door was open-
ed to them by the nurse; she had
evidently been crying, and even as
they entered the passage they seem-
ed conscious of the, desolation -of the
whole atmosphere.
`Oh, miss, have you heard the
verdict?' said the servant, who
knew Cecil slightly, and was eager
for sympathy. 'And what's to be-
come of my little ones no one seems
to know.'
'That is just what we came to
enquire about,' said Mr Boniface.
'We heard there were no relations
to take charge of them. Is it true?'
'There is not a creature in the
world to take care of them, sir,
said the nurse. 'There's the law-

After that there followed a de-
lightful evening of akttioipation,
and Airs Boniface entered into the
plan with her whole heart and
talked of nursery furniture put
away in the loft, and arranged the
new nursery in imagination fifty
times over --always with improve-
ments. And this made them $ ilk of
the past, and she began to tell emus -
jog stories of Roy and Cecil when
they were children, and even went
back to rememb ances of her own
nursery life, i which a strong
nurse had ad istered medicine
with a forcing spoon figured largely.
'I believe,' said the gentle old
lady laughing, 'that it was due to
that old nurse of mine that I never
could bear tbeological arguments.
She began them when we were so
young that we took a fatal dislike
to them. I can well remember, as
a little thing of four years old,
sitting on the punishment chair in
the nursery when all the others
were out at play, and wishing that
Adam and Eve hadn't sinned.'
'You all sound very .merry,' said
Roy, opening the door before the
laugh which greeted this story had
died away.
'Why, how nice and early You
are, Roy!' exclaimed Cecil. 'Oh!
mother has been telling us no end
of stories; you ought to have been
here to listen to them. And, Roy,
we are most likely going to have
those little children over the way
to live with us till their father is
out of prison again.'
Roy seemed grave and preoc-
cupied, but Cecil was too happy to
notice that, and chattered on con-
tentedly. He scarcely heard:her,
yet a sense of strong contrast made
the homelikeness of the scene spec-
ially emphasized to him. He look.
ed at his father leaning back in the
great arm chair, with reading lamp
and papers close by him, but with
his eyes fixed on Cecil as she sat on
a rug at his feet, the firelight
brightening her fair hair; he looked
at his mother on the opposite side
of the hearth, in the familiar dress
which she almost always wore -
black silk with soft white lace
about the neck and bodice, and a
pretty white lace cap. She was
busy with her netting, but every
now and then glanced up at him.
'You are tired to night, Roy,'
she said, when Cecil's story had
come to an end.
'Justa little,' he owned. 'Such a
curious thing happened to me. It
was a good thing you caught sight
of me at Hyde Park Corner and
stopped to ask about the trial,
Cecil, for otherwise it would never
have come abont. Who do you
think I met just as you drove on?'
'I can't guess,' said Cecil, rising
from her place e on the hearthrug
as the gong sounded for supper.
'One of our Norwegian friends,'
said Roy, 'Frithiof Falck.'
'What ! is he actually in London,'
said Cecil, taking up the reading
lamp to carry it into the next
room.
'Yee, poor fellow,' [laid Roy.
Something in his tone made Ce-
cil's heart beat quickly; she could
not have accounted for the strength
of the feeling which suddenly
overwhelmed her; she hardly knew
what it was she feared so much, or
why such a sudden panic had seis-
ed upon her; she trembled from
head to foot, • and was glad as they
crossed the hall to hand the lamp
to Roy, glancing up at him as she
did so apprehensively.
'Why do you say poor fellow?'
she asked. 'Oh, Roy, what is the
matter? -what -what has happen-
ed to him?'
CHAPTER VIII. _
'The house seems quiet without
Frithiof,' remarked Herr Feick on
the Monday after his son's depar-
ture.
Fl ithiof at •that very moment
was walking through the streets of
Hull, feeling lonely and desolate
enough. They felt desolate with-
out him at Bergen, and began to
talk much of his return, and to
wonder when the wedding would
be, and to settle what presents they
would give Blanche.
The dining room looked very
pleasant on that October morning.
Sigrid, though never quite happy
when her twin was away, was
looking forward eagerly to his re-
turn, and was so much cheered by
the improvement in her father's
health and spirits that she felt more
at rest than she had done for some
time. Little Swanhild, whose pas-
sion for Blanche increased daily,
was in the seventh heaven of hap.
piness, and though she had not
been told everything, knew quite
well that the general expectation
was that Frithiof would be betroth-
ed to her ideal. As for Herr
Feick he looked eager and hopeful,
and it seemed as if some cloud of
care had dean lifted off him. Ile
talked more 'than he had done of
late, teased Swanhild merrily about
her lessons, and kept both girls
laughing and chattering at the table
till Swanhild had to run off in a
hurry, declaring that she should
be late for school.
'You should not tell such funny
stories in the morning, little father!'
she said laughingly as she stopped
for the customary kiss and 'tak for

'You heard good news of them
last month, did you not?' asked Si-
grid.
'No definite news, but everything
was very hopeful. They sent word
by the steamer to Granton, and
telegraphed from there to our sta-
tion in Oifjord.'
'What did they say?'
'That as yet there had been no
catch of herrings, but that every-
thing was most promising, as plenty
of whales were seen every day at
the mouth of the fjord, Oh, I am
perfectly satisfied. I have had no
anxiety about the expedition since
then.' So father and daughter set
out togther. It was a clear frosty
morning, the wintry air was invor-
sting, and Sigrid thought she had
never seen her father look so well
before; his step seemed so light, his
brow so smooth, his eyes so un-
clouded. Beyer's shop had fascina-
tions for them both; she lingered
long in the neighborhood of the
Tauchnitz shelves, while Herr
Falck discussed the news with some
one behind the counter, and admir-
ed the pictures temptingly display-
ed.
'Look here, Sigrid!' he exclaimed.
'Did you ever tree a prettier little
color than that? Bergen in win-
ter, from the harbor. What is the
price of it? A hundred kroner? I
must really have it. It shall be a
present to you in memory of our
walk.'
Sigrid was delighted with the
picture, and Herr Falck himself
seemed as pleased with it as a
new toy. They walked away to-
gether, planning where it should
hang at home, and saying how it
was just the sort of thing Frithiof
would like.
It is quite a pity we did not see
it when he was away in Germany,
he would have liked to have it
when he was suffering from heim
weh,'said Sigrid.
Well, all that sort of thing is
over for him, I hope, ' said Herr
Falck. ' No need he • should be
away from Bergen anymore, except
now and then for a holiday. and
if ever you marry a foreigner, Si-
grid, you will be able to take Ber-
gin with you as a consolation.
They made their way up to a lit-
tle wooded hill above the fortress,
which commanded a wide and beau-
tiful view. •
' Ah !' cried Herr Feick. 'Look
there, Sigrid ! Look, look ! there
is surely a vessel coming.'
She gazed out seawards.
You have better eyes than I
have, father. Whereabouts ? Oh !
yes, now I see, ever so far away.
Do you think it is one of yours ?'
I can't tell yet, ' said Herr
Feick ; and glancing at him she saw
that he was in an agony of impa-
tience, and that the old troubled
look had come back to his face.
Again the nameless fear which
had seized her in the summer took
possession of her. She would not
bother him with questions, but
waited silently beside him, wonder-
ing why he was so unusually excit-
ed, wishing that she understood
business matters, longing for Frithi-
of, who would perhaps have known
all about it and could have reassur-
ed her.
'Yes, yes,' cried Herr Falck at
length. 'I am almost sure it is one
of our Oifjord vessels. Yes! I am
certain it is the Solid, Now the
great question is this -is she loaded
or only ballasted?'
Tho fresh strong wind kept blow-
ing Sigrid's fringe about distract-
ingly; sheltering her eyes with her
band she looked again eagerly at
the appr•oaching;vessel.
I think she is rather low in the
water, don't you?'
'I hope so -I hope so,' said Herr
Falck, and he took off his spec-
tacles and began to wipe the dim
glasses with his fingers that trem-
bled visibly.
The ship was drawing nearer'. and
nearer, and every moment Sigrid
realized more that it was not aa she
had first hoped. Undoubtedly the
vessel wars high in the water. She
glanced apprehensively at her father.
'I can't bear this any longer, Si-
grid,' he exclaimed. e:We will go
down to Tydakebryggen, and take
a boat and row out to her.'
They hurried away, speaking
never a word. Sigrid feared that
her father walk', send her home,
thinking it would be cold for her
on the water, but he allowed her to
get into tlla boat in silence, per-
haps scarcely realizing her presence,
too much taken up with his great
anxiety to think of anything else.
As they threaced their way through
the busy harbor, she began to feel a
little more cheerful. .Perhaps after
all the matter was not so serious.
Pitcher's Castoria.
When her father rejoined her, her
worst fears were realized. He nei-
ther looked at her nor spoke to her,
but, just giving a word of direction
to the boatmen, sat down in his
place with folded arms and bent
head. She knew instantly that
some terrible disaster must have
happened, but she did not dare to
ask what it was, she just sat listen-
ing to th e monotonous stroke of the
oars, and with an uneasy wonder in
her mind as to what would happen
next. They were nearing the shore,
and at last her father spoke,
' Pay the man, Sigrid,' be said,
and with an unsteady hand he gave
her his purse. He got out of. the
boat first and she fancied she saw
him stagger, but the next moment
he recovered himself and turned to
help her. They walked along to-
gether in the direction of the office.
'You must not be tae anxious,
dear child,' he said. ' I will ex-
plain all to you this evening, I have
hada heavy -loss.'
'But, little father, you look so
ill,'pleaded Sigrid. 'Must you in-
deed go to the orrice? Why not
come home and rest;'
'Rest! said Herr Falck dreaming-
ly. 'Rest? No, not j ust yet -not
just lyet. Send the carriage for me
this afternoon, and say nothing
about it to any one -I will explain
it to you later on.'
So the father and daughter part-
ed, and Sigrid went home to bear
as best she could her day of suB-
pence. Herr Feick returned later
on, looking very ill and complain-
ing of headache. She persuaded him
to lie down in his study, and would
not ask him the question which was
trembling on her lips. But in the
evening bespoke to her.
