He had only miesed them by a few hours, but it was too late, He must Wait until Baughman kept hie word and wrote him. He eipped the whey and went to his room. He heard the houee- keeper as she passed his rooms on her way to the tower -garret with the unof- fending clothes. When all the house was quiet, he took a candle end groped his way there. When he had lighted the eandle the first thing that met his view Wite the portrait. What a etrange thing there was about that resemblance! 'Inee lib.eneee.s was truly striking,. It was a pretty face all crowned with a halo of golden hair, for all the world like Doro- thy. His Dorothy. He took up the little ragged bundle and went again to his room, and locked them uP carefully. Ills heart went out in pity to Dorothy. Ile did zeot love her. That thoteghtelever entered hbe mind. He pitied Dorothy, and had. meant to do something for her, and now she was beyond his help, Re could not remain quiet. He waedered aimlessly about until he felt ill. "-He could not rest. He would go batik to town and perchanoe eonld ,hear aome- thing. He found his rooms too cheer- less to remain in, hence he wandered from place to place, until he .wies nearly ill with despair. When John, Bougherma and Dorothy had left the ca.stle, they walked to the etation. Having no luggage, they at- tracted but little attention. They trav- elled third class, and at Ruston station took a cab for Madame Brown's school for young ladies. This was a school that paid speceal attention to fitting young ladies for eociety. Everything about it was ,superficial, but it ,eujoyed the repu- tation of being patronized almost sive- elusively by the daughters of the nobil- ity. Why it had been. chosen by Dame Wynter no one could ever know. When he left Dorothy, John Boughman paid for a half -term in advance, and left a very small aum for her clothing. Be intended to arrange matters all right in a few days—in fact, as eroon as he returned from a flying visit out of town to a little village where he had passed his early childhood. While there he met with the misfortune of finding no one he knew or any one that had known him. It was a little fishing village on the coast, and fishermen are transient, always coming and going with wind and wave. That evening, finding himself alone (and he had to wait for hie train to return to London), he thought he could best employ the time fulfilling Dame Wynter's dying, wishes. He sat 'there and wrote a letter to Miller, Wig- gins & Naylor, solicitors, London, that "it Wee generally supposed that Lord Robert Home left no helm nearer than hie nephew the Present Lord Reginald Home, and' had willed him the large estates. Now the writer could prove that Lord Ito"bert Home Was married and left an only child, a daughter and a later -will. The writer would we'll on them in a few days and bring ponvineing proof of his assertions." The train wee now due, and in his great haste John Tioughtnan signed his name with a great scrawl that no one could read. He thrust the letter into the post and. boarded the train as it moved off. He would thus save time by having appointment with these eolieltors immediately On )113 arrival. He would mil on Dorothy and get the old papere he had given her for eafe keeping, but those old papers had seemed of so little use to Dorothy that she had bundled them in with the old ragged clothes and left them at the castle. Why not? Of what possible value were one or two. little, old, age - yellowed serape of paper or her old clothes? She had left telsem behind with- out a regret. John Boughman was whirling along, his thoughts were on Dorothy. Who would have thought Dorothy, the waif, Wee Lady Wedderburn and an heiress How many etrange things do hapPen in this life! And he was all unconscious of the etrange thing that was to happen him. At that moment there watt a great shock. He was thrown violently for- ward and stunned. There had. been a terrible eollielon, and the dead and dying were seattered. about in every direction. John Boughman Waa not killed, but the severe blow he had received on, the head. hod reedered him unconscious, and he had not reeovered when he was taken to the 'hospital, where he lingered for many days between life and death, When he did reeover he had. not re. gained his seneee—he was an idiot. From the hospital he was Seat to the Home of the Priendleee. He had no papers about his Pereon to identify hint There was nothing but the ticket from "Lyin- w iek to London." If he had died he could. not have been more completely buried. He and all his intentiores had been cut shott by fate, but she would work out all destinies es she had done since time began. What does it matter that note is one actor,reore lett, on the stage of life? There ate thousands of aetons weiting for every part of the play. Dorothy found herself deserted.

As he travelled he imagined getting a letter, and of all the future he had plan.. ned. for Dorothy. She was to go to school two or three.years, then he would bring her home to Castle Royal as his wife. His reverie was not broken un.til he reached bonee; aled when he found he Was disappointed again, despair made him siek. He retired at onee to his room, but could not. rest. Then he dress- ed himself and walked the floor for hou ed himself and walked the floor for hours, and when the daylight of the morrow came he vitas too ill to get up. Lady Home had:grown uneasy. She knew there was something wrong, but ehe had somehow got the impression. that it was a lovers' quarrel between himself and Mee Staunton, "Poor boy, how ill he bears lovers' tiffs? I must go and console him," she thought, and that same evening she went to him. She was distressed beyond measure that he looked so ill. She had not dreamed he was so ill as this. "Great God." she exclaimed in her anguish. "Is he going to die?" She was filled evith terror at the bare thought. He was her idol, and to lose him meant to almost lose her life. "My darling boy, I did Aot know you were ill,' she exclaimed. "1 aaa not dangerously ill," „he said, with a, laugh, but the laugh made her nervous, sinee she felt that he was tey- ing to conceal something from her. "We must summon medical assistance at onee," she said. "Not yet, mother, I really am not ill; I feel all tired and fagged out, but will be myself again in a few days. I beg you do not feel alarmed, for there is nothing much the matter with me." Her heart went out in pity for him. She felt angry with Miss Staunton as the cause of his illness. "My boy, I feel sure von the thinking over our last conversation; but there is one thing I must say to you: I spoke harshly to you that day. I had no right to do g0. Marriage should be entered in- to, solemnly, and I believe in sentiment. It soothe down the rugged part of life's pathway. I wished. you to marry that we should have to ourselves dear old Castle Royal. Now, I say no matter what the future has in store for us, we -win face it together." Oh! if we could only have spoken to her, have told her all: but it was such a strange story, she would not believe it. Then what was the good of letting anyone knew it? It would only bring about an unpleasant gossip. So he decided to bury Ms secret, and let old Time unearth it, if he °hone. Never before had Lady Alicia Home spoke with so much affeetion. It eut him deeply. His lovely, proud mother was willing to share any and every fa,te with. him! Lord Wedderburn clasped her in his arms, but his heart emote him that he Was deceiving her. * ''' ''` * Time flew by with startling rapidity. The wiet-er was almoet over. Dorothy had fallen into the new sehool life arid had made wonderful progress in all her studies, her music es. pecially, Among all the girls in the school Dorothy found, time to whom she was devoted. This was Elsie Dunraven, the daughter of the old Earl of Detnraven, who spent most of his time in the Indies. Elsie was his only child and wart her fitthor''s idol, The old Earl was exteedingly rieh, and bad only one avenue to his wordily heart, and that Was through his eitild, Eloie. The two girls were as opposite' in looks as sunlight and darkness. Elsie was sneall and dark, with raven black hair and jetty eyes. She was a most pe. euliar girl. She held herself aloof from her schoolmates and they, eonsequently, dieliked her. Behind her baek they call. ed her the ritven, Ale to Dorothy, they rather feared her. There was something so unapproachable and so haughtily eold about her, they deeed not take no Illaert ties with .her. Elsie Durireven was an exceedingly fatal girl. Her mother hed died young, and the thin, sallow face of the child filled the old earVe mind With alarm. He gratifiimi every lvlara, he laViehed motley on her which. elle did uot. use.

He questioned if he liad acted fairly by her, after all, and the thought gave him pain. The end of the term Wee fast approaching. Elsie Dunraven woes expecting her father from the In- dies. They were to summer in Engladid and Scotlaud. Dorothy had began to be filled with a gre3t fehr lest 114 one eliould come for her; and where would elite got She had not the least idea. Every word spoken by the girla la glad antieipation of their home -goings made her heaat ache. Mile BreWrt noticed her depression and readily guessed the cause of it, "I am sure, my dear, there is sorae- thing very strange about it all. The Man that brought you here naid for care term, ay.d said he would come bank. I am sure that thie man never intended poraing beak, for all his pious Imo." Dorothy wept bitterly. These had been her thoughts, What to do she did not know. "What ella you. dor asked Mrs. Brown. "I do not know. I would do almost aty work to earn eny living," eald Dor. othy. "I will try and. arratep for you," eta Mra. Brown. "There le nothing much to be done during the meaner menithe laut repair the furniture, remake and relay the carpets, and. such little odcle tind ends of work. Now, if you, could make yourself very useful, I can give you a home for these months." This offer seemed Hun to Dorothy, and she was grateful. It was a roof over her head, and that meant every- thing. Her clothes were all threadbare and mended in divers places. She had worn the two black dreeses almost re year, and they were worn goeche when given her. She was aliabby; but she had no one on earth that she eould call friend, hence ehe patched. and. bruebed and mended. just before the tiehool closed, Elise Dunravern grew very ill with a fever. The old. earl had been summoned at onoe, but Elise grew violently ill. She would have no ono near her but Dorot thy, to whom she clung in, desperation. Sho begged. that Dorothy be allowed to stay with her, but Mrs. Brown was loth to grant her request. She needed Dorothyls eerviees and feared shemight become Dorothy begged to be allow. ed to etay with her friend. "I will not have anyone here lent Dor- othy. If papa were only here I am sere he could arrange it," pleaded the sick She had touched. the right chord now. leirs. Brown could not afford to offend the wealthiest girl in sehool. She was obliged to consent. deepite Dorothy's age and inexperience. The girl Elise lay ill for weeke, and Dorothy remained with her night and day. Even when. the earl came, the girl remained constantly with her. The Earl of Dunraven knew how much a debt of obligation he owed the girl Dorothy, and he liked her. When Elise bad so far recovered. as to be able to go out, the school, had closed. The two girls were almost inseparable. Though so near one age, one 'wee serong and seleaelittat; the other, a girl that must always cling to arsother for sup- port. When, the time came to separate, it seemed a hard trial to both. Elise had obtained her father's consent to invite Dorothy to go with them for a short visit, but this she refused. How could ehe them she must work these sum- mer months for a shelter? After that she could form no idea. Her most flat- tering thought or wish was that Mrs. Brown might find her so useful that she might be allowed to gay on whether term, provided ehe eould work between achool hours, When the time for separation did come Dorothy found a rail of bank notes and some beautiful drees goods, as com- pensation for her devatioe to the earl's daughter. The large sehool building seemed de- serted. There was no one there Eave Mrs. Brown, Dorothy and a le'W ser- vants. There was a lawn in front of the hoaute and the grew Vats freeli artd green. 'The great, trees made an invitlng .3hade, and the weather had not been too warm. Altogether, Dorothy was eonifortable and happy. Theee were books tu read, a. piano that she ertight me, and Doro- thy resolved to devote every spare mo- ment. In the moruing the twittering of the sparrows awoke her, and she went to her duties at an early hour. Every carpet in this large house must be taken 013, mended and replaced, or exchanged into otlier rooms. Dorothy kept faithfully at her work. She was young, and kept cheerful enough about her great tasks. As Soon. as evening came, and. she could not see to sew, she went to her books and mu,sic, and made the most wonderful progress iu both. Despite her application to work, Mrs. Brown was arroaling reetiess and uneesy as the time came for echool to open, She had so many applieations that she would be crowded, and it was clearly evident that t3he could not keep Dorothy, until: one day a letter ea,me from Eliee Dunraven saying, "Keep Dorothy Wyn. ter until come.
