Wait until Baughman kept hie word and

was quiet, he took a candle end groped

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

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

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

terrible eollielon, and the dead and

John Boughman Waa not killed, but

When he did reeover he had. not re.

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.

The two girls were as opposite' in

euliar girl. She held herself aloof from
her schoolmates and they, eonsequently,

Every word spoken by the girla la glad
antieipation of their home -goings made

depression and readily guessed the cause
of it,
"I am sure, my dear, there is sorae-
thing very strange about it all. The Man

am sure that thie man never intended

Dorothy wept bitterly. These had
been her thoughts, What to do she did
not know.

Brown.

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

and mended.
just before the tiehool closed, Elise

would have no ono near her but Dorot

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-

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

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

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.

One Field That I Left for the Auto-
mobile to Conquer and Occupy.
"'Strung along close together on either
eide or the street near my houee this
merning," staid an observing man, "there
were ten business vehicle so4 different
sorts, ten of them, including a moving
van, a coal wagon and an ice wagon, the
rest being deliyery vtagons of various
tterts, Ms:merles, meat, milk, with one
wagon from a depe.rtment *tore.
"What struck me first was the num-
ber of these wagons all together so, giv-
Ing you some idea of the enormous num-
ber of vehicles required for the current
supply of a city population's wants. Here
were ten within. a short space within a
single block. I3ut then what struck me
mote was the fact that of all those wag-
ons only one. the department store wag-
on. was an automobile; the rest were ail
horse drawn. It is making advances in
it. but obviously there is a great field
yet for the automobile to conquer and
occupy.
