For Tansy bad told Dora that she was s. nursery -governess. and that 'ter employers were away on holi- day. She had no parents and no home, no relations, in fact, except Mrs. whitfleld, who had always of- fered her a home in such an emerg- eacy as the present. "And she isn't my aunt', really, though I eall her so," said Tansy Pathetically. "She's only o sort of cousin." To Dora, with relations all round her come to rejoice wth her par eats at her betrothal, this seemed heart-rending. She lett Tansy in MebePs eare, and went to the other side of the room to speak to another group. She got a rather self-constious coin to the piano, and •as she listened with the reef te a song she found Ralph beside her. "I don't know what to do about that poor girl," she confided to him when the hum of conversation had started again.

Such a wretch- ed night for that poor little thing to have been wandering about in, It would he something to and her shelter, and get her •mind at rest as to her immediate difficulties, Mrs. Hildersley, though. some- what displeased at so sudden a re- quest, was willing to take in Mrs. WhItfield's niece, and Ralph hurried back to Roselande. He found Dora in the dining -room where the forlorn stranger was be- ing regaled ,with sapper, and at once he imparted his good news. "Oh, I'm so glad!" Dora cried. "I've been ,explaining to Mis's Clare how full our own house is for to. night." ',1 don't know how to thank you," said Tansy fervently. "I felt so frightened when the maid toll me Aunt, Edith had lett here." "Dora, can you come a minute." it was Harry, one of her brcth- ers. who bad been sent to recall her to the drawing -room. None of them could get on long without her. Ralph was lett to wait on Tansy, which he found a very congenial task, "Isn't it a dreadful dilemma 1.) be in?" she said.

He had, never found it fascinating to watch a gtirl eat before. He had never fount it fascinating to weacti a. girl eat before. He had never seen a girl who could do it so daintily. Her slightest, most commonplace actions, served to dis- play her grace. "Nice!" she said, as it she had been eight years old instead of eghteen, as he would have guessed her to be.
