That afternoon, wheg Mr. Hesketh
Carton called, in accordAnce with eti-
quette, at Grafton etreet, he Was in-
fornied that Lady Mervyn had re-
turned to the Towers and that th
young ladies had. gone to Rose Cot-
tage, eiVeybridge: He permitted the
surprise to slam itself in hie pale face
for a moment, teen handed in ials
card, and walked away. Jack, who was
passing the end of the street, saw him
leave the liouee, and notice& the ex-
pression of disappointment and uncer-
tainty on Hesketh :Oarton'e face.
A few minutes later he saw the
blinds pulled down and a footman
come out and air himself on the steps,
as if he had just bought the place,
and was quite satisfied with les bar-
gain; and Jack, by thee() unmistakable•
signe, kuew that the ladies had gone.
Ha ti they gone back to Devonshire?
He felt he must know, at any risk, at
any toot; and he went up to the house
and. inquired of the footman -whose
manner underwent an electric change
at Jack's distinguished appearance -
whether Lady Mervyn was at home.
The man repeated, parrotlike, the re-
lay be had given Hesketch Carton.
Jack pretended to funeble for a card -
case; then muttered:
"No card; no matter," and walked
away, the footman resuming his
loungiiig attitude against the doorway
and eying Jack's stalwart figure with
languid approval.
Maniere prates- of their temporary
retreat had not been extravagant As
she had. said, the cottage stood ac-
tually in one of the small pine -woods
for which Weybridge is so justly fam-
ous. and the air was not only soft anti
warm, but full of terebene, that Wane
exhilaration of the eirs, in search of
which so many thousaads of misguid-
ed person across the troublesome
Channel and undergo innumerable
discomforts in foreign places, regard -
lees .of the feet that the health -giving
air may be breathed within. thirty
Miles of London.
"We might be in South Devon or
°miliaria, for that matter," remaelied
Mollie, ata• the two girls were eating
under the little veranda after dinner,
with their tea -cups in their laps "Isn't
it ,almost inapoeeible to believe that
we are so neer London; and that ev-
ery meriting men rush up to the city
with little black bags and coals down
again in the evening in time for din-
ner? And whet a lovely place it is!
Lady Mervyn ought to bring Lord
Stanton here when he is well enough
to be moved. This ale will do you good,

"It must, itideed, .be a wonderful

"Quito so," Assented Mollie clmer-
fully. "That being the -nee, You 'will

"You are 'feeling tired to -night,

could.

was fluslied as et with indignation,
and she said:
"Dear Lady Mervyn, what a .ery Of

He had been with them in London,

in hilarious spirits himself, until. two

to have had the measleo long ago.

"I am not unduly alarmed, my

I'm taking them already. It is a

"And I shall not notice it in a few
days," retorted ielytio, almost irritably,
"Porgive me, Mollie, clear, but I am
really quite well; only a little tired;
and the best place .for tired persons is

Lady Mervyn and 'Vieille had a long
talk about Clytie when 'she had gone;
but they both felt that they were hope-
less; for it was not caey to drag a girl,
with Cartie's strength Of will, to a phy-

PUNISHMENT.
• (Washington Star.)
"Are the Germans to have no Punish'
meat?"
"Their eituation is what I ahould call
Puniehment," replied Miss Cayenne, "They
are obliged, to live all their lives under
some kind of a German Government."
The General's Drop,
I have been told the story of a
"flying" general, who has had expert,
ence as a parachutist, says a writer
in the London Evening News. .A, few
days ago he was a passenger in an
airplane going north. After a while
he 'aided up a village where he in.
tended to Stop for a day or two, and
informed the pilot, who at once signi-

The German authorities, distressed,
noe to say outraged beyond expression,
at tlae harshneea of tbe Allied peace
terms, and seeking for the German
People some adequate meansoof ex --
pressing their feelings on the Matter
have, according to recent despatches
from Copenhagen, sent out a telegram
to the German states of which theeteol-
lowing is a paragraph: "By a de-
: elision of the Imperial Government, the
Free States are requested to have all
public temusemente suspended for a
week, and to allow in the theatres
only such productions as correspond
with the seriousntss of these grievous
dare" No one would wish to be un-
khul, about the matter, but such a re-
quest as tbis latter surely places a ter-
rible, responsibility on theatre maa-
agere. It is not easy to think of suit-
able plays, but "All's Well That Ends
