What eau we do? they cried. ,At that moment a. light step sounded in the hall and a cheery voice said, "I Will go right in, Fenton." it was Dorothy out for her morning walk, She had come in for a few mo- ments and brought a bunch of fragrant white roe es for them. She saw the look an their faces .She did not speak as Lady Agatha handed her the letter which she read. She soon understood it all, She eiew the blanched faces. "What shall we do?" cried .Lady Ag- atha. "Nothing ,of course, but be thankful —that girl was too honorable to de- ceive you longer, How thankful you ehould he to know it now." "But we have lost our darling," said Lady Agatha. "If she was nothing to you, there is no need for you to sorrow for her. It IS your Dorothy's child you want, not stranger." "That ie true," they all said. "Then let's rejoice for another thing. You know there was one fraud prac- ticed on you, when they said your Dor- othy's child was dead. Well, now, you know she did not die—she lives! You have done a good deed. You have tak- en strangers to your hearts and homes and warmed and fed thorn. You ha.ve done a crowning at of lave and char- ity. Now there one thing left to be dove—find your Dorothy's child." All the clouds vanished from their faces, and sweet smiles came instead. They were convinced of the truth of all she said. Dorothy could bring sunshine to their hearts whenever she willed. They loved and trusted Dorothy. "What shall we do?" they asked. "Take me for your Dorothy's child until she is found," she said, with a light laugh. 'We will, for God knows how dearly we love you," they said, and. Dorothy watehed the tears roll from their cheeks. The next day they received a letter which read: "We have, at last, obtained a clue which forces us to believe that the par- ties up at Cliff Towers who represent the young lady to be your niece, is an imposter, and should be dealt with as such. We have now a Clue that will be the right one, but we wish to take more thne, that no more mistakes may occur, for which we humbly beg your pardon. Adam Seaton. detective." "He has another clue! Let us hope he may be right the next time. These disappointment's see so cruel to bear," said Lady Agatha. They rejoiced that they yet had a prospect. He had found that they were impostere, so he would be doubly sure next time, The days went by now more dreary and slow than before. It left them no young footsteps to sound on the marble halls, and no young voice to break the deep gloom that rested 031 everything, and they felt but for Dorothy and her fair face, life would have grown un- bearable, But they had Dorothy, and she was all the world to them, filling their heats with love and their lives with eunehine. CHAPTER XIII. The glorious summer days had long - Coined into autumn. Dorothy had as yet made lea plans for leaving Dunra- von. She liked it better than any other place. It had a quiet charm about it, end reminded her of old Lent/hill. Ah! how her heart longed for a sight of the old place! But it Wile buried in the past and must not be resurreeted. Bur- ied with all the happiness she had, ever known. One evening she went to Cliff Towere, it was now early autumn, but the sea air blew in chill and cold, and fires had been lighted. and blazed bright Iy on the hearth stones, The three lad- ies sat there and Dorothy had, thrown herself with oarelese grace on a stool at their feet, one arm rested lovingly on Ladl Agatha's k.nee. The guitar had fallen on the floor at her side and her voice had died away. She had sung thoee old songs that were filled with a Weird old melody that was eharraing. Ale how they loved the sweet voice a.nd the singer. Tenderly, devotedly, even as life itself. The footman an- nounced a stranger that followed at his heels. Ile saw Dorothy there and. stood for a moment, "I beg pardon if I have interrupted You," he said, The ladle's weltomed him warmly. They were sure he brought them, some tieve, for it was Adam Seaton, the de- tective. "You will excuse me," said Dorothy, eleing to leave the room. "If the ladies have no objections, I would prefer the young lady to stay. Pardon me, but if you do not are to have the young lady hear a sad, sad old story that may eA.USe Seine old wounds to open email." "We have nothing that oar Dorothy may not hear," assented the three lad- ies, and Dorothy sat down again on the stool at Lady .Agatha's feet. "We have taken more tbne, my lady, thet we might be eure now that there is not one. 1 wish to tell a story. that has been buried for years—a sad, sad story it is, too. Yoi,sray ladies, had a slater Dorothy, who lrad an only child a girl named Dorothy. She Was reared from ehildhood to womanhood in this home. She was beautiful and acorn- plished. After her sehooldays were over she Visited one or two of her school- mates. One in Meet, one "Devenshiret" said Lady Agatha. "Yes, in Deveinshire.

The girl rebelled, and refused to com- ply with it, but the preparations ter the approaching xnarriage went On. Thfo much, memory must recall." The three l'idiee drew their chaire closer together and Dorothy nestled closer at their feet. There were tear- drops in their eyes, quivars arouud their mounths, "It Smite that while at Kent, Dor- othy, Roslyn met there Robert lime, Lord Wedderburn," Wheu the game fell on Dorothy's ear, she elutelied lady Agathats knee for support. :tier winos aluaost left her, but she eat there, white and etill, "Lord Wedderburn was ready to sail for India where he had estates, and though the couple had plighted their* troth, it was deemed better that they await his return from India for the marriage to be celebrated. In a few days before the time fixed for the wed- ding of Dorothy Roslyn and Sir .Alex- ander March, the girl seeing no way out of the hateful contreet but re- bellion, heard that her lover, Lord Wedderburn, would be at the Swan }In- tel in Duns, on a certain night. It ems the night before the wedding was to take place between her and Sir Alex- ander March. Dorothy Roslyn §:tole out and. by some means found her way to Swan Hotel, Duns ,and. burst into Lord Wed•derburn's room, orying. It Is said that her white dress Was soiled and torn, and that her beautiful, golden hair fell -unfettered down her back. She cried to Lord Wedderburn, "Marry me now, Robert, save me if you love me." HE ordered. a earriage and, drove to 13er. wiek on Tweed, and there the ceremoay was performed by one Anthony Law- less, a minister, and there were only two witnesees • to the atrange cere- mony. "When her flight was deecovered, eon -- fusion reigned, here at Cliff Towers. It had been planned to have kept the cere- mony a secret 'until the return of Lord Wedderburn from India, but the harsh Paeans used to marry her to Sir Alex- ander March rendered this irapeeeible. Lord, Wedderbura's ship lay at anchor In the North sea, awaiting his coming, and he left his bride of a week or two return, sailed to India, leaving her with friends in North Berwick. There WA.A smile unciersifending that ahe should, not disclose the name of her husband until his return ,not knowing that he lay ill and near dying in India, having one of those malignant fevers. Dorothy Home waited hie return in vain. She wrote lettere to the people at Cliff Towers saying she was legally married te a good, and honorable man, . and that he would soon come to claim her. The reply to those letters were the peeking slf her boxes—a blue, yellow and black one, which were sent to her." Dorothy had been listening a,s in a dreaan, but when she heard of three large colored boxes, she gave a great start. The detective saw it, but he went on. "These boxes were sent in reply to her most piteous appeal. At Cliff Tow. ere dier name could not be called and every picture of her was turned. face to the wall as if to hide shame. When Dor- othy Home received such reply, she took a house in a village and. with a servant girl lived alone, waiting the coming of her husband. Then her child was born, a little daughter, very like the mother. This servant girl had been employed one as a housemaid at Cliff Towere and was greatly in love with your brother, the late Lord Somerville, before his death. Shall I tell you that servant girl's name? Sallie Boughman." Sobs burst from the three women, and Dorothy, too stunned to realize, hid her face in Lady Agatha's lap. "Dorothy Home died, and the dead. girl was taken once more among her ancestors, for her body lies in the Somerville vault. The child being repudiated by the family, was taken by the nurse, with the mon- ey left by the dead Dorothy, to a dis- tant village where she lived under an A m ssumed ane. Lord Robert Home returned and found his wile dead, and he was told. that the child died, &leo. He did not epeak of his marriage. He lived a very short time. Withdrew in sullen silence to his own apartments, and received no one. The day he died, a woman forced her way into his saiertments, Pied had a long conversation with )thil. The result was, lie made another will, and it was eign- ed by three witneseee. .In a short time he was dead, and the property was tak- en by the preaumptive heir, hie broth- er's eon, Lord Reginald Home." Dorothy lay stunned a,xi4 motioniess. She could not speak, yet she had heard It plainly. She .gasped, and tried, but the word e would not come. Nothing but Sobs were heard. "Shall I tell you of that child now? Well, the woman Sallie Boughatan took the child, and after changing her name removed to an old place on Lord Hoene% estalte. Thi a old plaza was Lenthill. Here she lived with the child named Dorothy, abusing and mistreat- ing it, most brutally. She found the child was a great strain on her mental- ly and phygloally, and she etarved, beat It and made it •almost go naked. When the cold sleet fell she vent through the moors bare-armed and leare-legged. She had no more care than the leettsts that inhabit the wilds of India. Often when she had starved and beaten the ehild, she drove her out on the moors to sleep in a, ranhie or under a small rift in the hillside, with Meth* for covering but God's blue oky, and nothing under her but cold, danap earth. She led this life until about fourteen years of age, she WAS as wild, and untamed and manized as you eould imagine, until one right she had been beaten she Tan off sled lay down ou the moor to sleep: The wind WaS piercing cold, and she was go illy elothed tbat the cruel winds blew most unmercifully on her delieete white flesh, Lord.

She was urged and at last eoniseated, and there by the dying bedside they were married by a minister and a brother of the dy- ing woman's, John 13ougmentn, In an hour Lord Wedderburn left 'for Lon- don to obey a telegram he had received that day. Re gave john Boughmaa a large sum of money to defray expenses, etc., and left intending to return at once—whieh he did not do, and when he did not come, the child Dorothy was taken to Castle Royal by the house. keeper, a woman named Parkinei, who made her clothee to weer inatead of rags. In a day or two, the man Bough - tram called for the girl, Dorothy, and, taking her to London, placed her in Madam Brown's isehool for young ladies, where she met the inivaltd daughter of the Earl of Dunraven, and they formed et strong attachment for ea& other, The Earl nutde a great mistake in hie inerriage. Many unpleaent incidents followed, and the Eitel decided to luxe the eare of his loved child to Dorothy, removing her to the cheap lodgings of lter friond, where she died after leaving her a vast fortune, "Shortly filter the Earl died broken. hearted, and having been deserted in his sieknese and death by hia wife, he made a will in favor of this Dorothy andthen died in her arms." "Spare ane! Spare tne!" cried Doro. thy. "You have with ruthlees aands raked up iny dead," she cried bitterly. Her eyes flashed and the tear -drops glietened in them. The ladies were aghast. They could not realiee it then. "A. few Ilion things and I am done. Lord Niredderburn (has never forgotten that marriage and. has eought his bride far find near, without suece.ss. He has grown ten years older and his heir is I strewn with, eilver 'threads, To -night he does not know where his wife is, and .12888 not for one moment forgotten her," "Spare me! Spare me!" She cried, "spare me," and fell forward on the 1 floor at their feet. "There is your sister's child, Doro- thy!" The ladies were aghast. They choked back the sobs that rent their bosoms, and, gaited upon the prostrate girl at their feet, In a moment now, they understood and they knelt beside tier, end restored her to consciousness., They caressed her tenderly. "Our love and. our life—our Dorothy," they kept re- peating. The detective stole from the. room tmobeerved. He had only remain- ed long enough to premise not to re- veal all he had told to them. The sub- ject was one that should be buried, No idle speculation, no cruel relentices world should know the shadow tint had, fallen over their darling's youtie We. There was the same stubborn pride of the mother in Dorothy. She could crush out the love in her heart just RA easily as he eould. She would forget her. The heold had?, iteeforgotitme him, es never seen such happiness as it saw that night. Those three hearts rejoiced that they now bad a claim on Dorothy. It was no longer strange to them that she had. so closely resembled their sister's daughter. No longer did it seem strange that she had battled so bravely for the wilful girl. It had been plain enough from the first that Dorothy was some- thing to them, but time had to solve the problem as be does all others, CHAPTER XIV. The gay party had not left Castle Royal yet. Life there is one round of pleasure. It was deemed a privilege to receive an invitation to Cestle Royal. Miss McRay wets among. the guests. In her heart she loved Lord Wedderburn very dearly, but her woman's pride for- bade her admittiug it, even in her own mind. She had schooled herself to be pleased to see him happy. Lord. Wedderburn had received a letter from his solicitors that called him to town at once, but he had been too late for the train that day, and must wait another. He was restless and ill at ease. He leaped an trusted it was setnething more about Dorothy, yet he dreaded to hear it. His mother called hitn into lier room. Ile told her he was going to town the next morning. "I am sure it is impossible, Reginald. They have all planned to go to Paxton House, and dine there iend return late in the evening. I have nrranged that gou take Miss MeRay, It is really emus. mg, Reginald, how I have managed to separate her and Sir Peter. I have ar- ranged that he take some one °lee, and he frequently looks like a thunder- storm, but I am sure she understands it," "Mother, I hope you will not do any- thing to estrange that couple. am sure Miss McRa,y means to marry Sir Peter Pirley at some future time." Lady Home was astonished. "Reginald, you are surely not going to break your work with me, when I have so couuted on it? Then it is all over. You have trifled with me long enough." She was very angry, "Tell me one thing," she said. "Do you love someone else?" "I do," he said, earnestly, and his face lighted up with pleasure. "You intend this other person to be pares me to succeed," he yowife."Goa , s u, d. 5ttike saw that in his face which con- vinced her of the truth of his words. "You are sure it is no messalliance— no one that I should be ashamed to call daughter!' "If she is my choice, mother, you should. like her. She did not notice the equivocation, but could see the strange gleam ril .his eyes, "When do you think • of matriage?" Rheaskas possible," he answered. t ; Aasoon 'Phis sathefied her. If he was going to marry some one else she would have to undo all she had dohe. She must repair the mistake. She arranged it se that it looked like an accident, but Sir Peter Pirley led Mies Money to dinner, and he rode and da.need with her, and altogether was agreeably happy. Lady Home soon repaired the error. They were thrown together incessantly, and Sir Peter was happy, for he thought it had simply been a mistake. Lord Wedderburn left home the next Morning early for London. He felt Imre that there Was something of importance Waiting for him, "Home, Baughman is dead," :said Me. Miller, the solicitor.

The Master once eata that He came to send not peace, but a sword, end leis fol- lowers will always need a. valiant right only pe d andaesehould always carry a sword es well ae a stout heart. If there isn't a Church militant here now, there will never be a Church triumphant,. and the that will be worth anything either in earth or in heaven will be the peace won through conflict . 4.444•111.4104.....

Few people know the original mean- ing of the word "picnic." It is to be found set out in the London. Timea Of a hundred years ago: "A picnic supper consists of a, variety of dishes. The subiscrihers to this entertainment have a bill of fare presented to them, with a num- ber against each d1sh. Th,e lot which, he draws obliges him to furnishthe dish marked against it, which he either takes with. hint 1.n his car- riage or sends by a servant. The proper variety is preserved by the talents of the maitre d'hotel, who forms the bill of fare. As the cook- ery is furnished by so many people of fashion, each strives to excel, and thus a picnic supper not only gives rise to much, pleasant mirth, but generally can boast of the refinement of the art."
