"It was never less teen � ire` hun- dred a year, and there were only you two; living in the country, you should have saved something." Ar- thur Delarey gave such a pros} to the dandelion root that it came up bod- ily." "Any way, he ought to have insured his life." He flung the root from him. Pen thought wearily that Arthur could never understand all the calls which were made on the purse of a country rector. "I cannot bear to think of you working," he said; and he turner} to look at her with bold eyes. They .Vere handsome eyes, as was every- thing about Arthur Delisu'cy, from the crown of her perfect hat to the tip of his well -kitting brown boots. She returned his glance with the look of a faithful dog from such beautiful brown deep-set eyes that Arthur Delarey wished more heart• i1y than usual that he had twenty - houancl a year. 'If we were not beggars, Pen!" het said, with a sigh, possessing himself of her hand. "You have seven hundred a year." she said, looking away. "That is beggary. I am afraid to think how much I owe. Seven huu- tirerl a year! It scarcely keeps Inc in clothes." "You buy so much, Arthur dear!" "Don't preach, Pen; I can't have you preaching!" "I was not preaching,' she said quietly. "0f, course I know that. you must have things going out so much as you do and seeing so many people." efI have six invitations to balls and 'At Homes' for next week," he said complacently, "I gave up a (!inner tonight to run down to see you, darl- ing," "That was good o1 ,you," said Pen .imply. "If we could only be married!" ho said, with another sigh." "I cannot bear to think of you working lint !low could we marry on seven hun- dred a year?" "1 should want very little," said Pen, "ane} I would be very econom- ical, Arthur. We might live in lodg- ings, and "Lodgings! Good heavens What a simple little darling you are, Pen Seven hundred a year: is (absolute beggary for a elan in my position with a wife. It would be better to be without a penny" Pen wondered how that could be. A tinge of colour had come into her sunburnt cheeks. She looked at the blue smoke, and calculated how many homes seven hundred a year 'would keep like those in the cottages form which that snake was ascending. Arthur Delany turned and gazed at her. He mentally patted hdntself 011 the 1)aeh fol' his strength of mind in resisting .her. Ho had never seen any woman with such a beautifully modelled head and figure' In a year or two, when she had overgrown her eirl>oh angularity, she would be s1'len rl1,1. Arthur Delarey wondered at his own prudence in being firen that there, ;Mould be no marriage. Had he but the money-, what n sensation this little country girl would make in London society! He thought of ,some of the women who were called beau- ties. None of them could hold a can- dle to Penelope Herringham, "Pen, how fend I am of yon!" he (hawing her to !tint. "' wish you had something—a hundred or two a year --and I would chance it (.ma be married." "I wish I had!" said Pen. "flow happy 8V0 should be!" It never occurred to her that he might have given up his little pleas- ures and settled down to a life i11 the country with her on seven hun- dred a year. She would not allow such a thought to cross her ,hind, "When you have a Government appointment it will be all right," she said happily; "but until then"—she gloved the paper with the toe of her shabby she—" until then I must work," "Don't let us talk of work new," he said, "(Put I must decide. I have been reading the advertisements. There is a nursery -governess wanted for four children, and to. do the mending tie well." (`That is out of the question!" he said decisively. "I cannot have you turned into a drudge." "Then there is an old lady who wants a lady nurse." "Also out of the question!" "There is only one more, and I do not think that will do. It is to go to South America as companion to a • girl." "That sounds more likely." (`Arthur, I could never !cave—" "You" had been on her lips, but she altered it to England.' "Why not? You would enjoy see- ing the world. Of 0001180 I should , miss you, but wherever you were I could not see much of you. Lot ale see this advertisement." Pen pointed to the peace, 1 "Wanted, lady, young, to be com- panion to a young lady travelling to South America, Good Salary.—Apply Ferguson, Hotel Carlon, London." (`Good hotel. They would pav you well, and you would not have to stay !anger than you wished. You could come back in a ,year, Pen," "It is leaving you," whispered Pen. He felt that his heart was softening to a dengerous degree. If Pen look- ed at him with ayes like that he might make a fool of himself. He should feel parting with her, but it would be wiser for them both. "It would only be for a little while," he said, "I shall call and see this Ferguson -Miss or Mrs.— as your only relative, and, if satis- factory, 18111111 wire for you to cons up tomorrow to see her. I will take you to lunch somewhere, and after- wards we might go to a theatre." "Isn't it too soon?" faltered Pen, looking at her black dress. "What? The theatre? Pen, I can- not have you growing into a provin- cial person. Life is too 8110rt to shut ourselves up and draw long faces for ever, Besides, no one knows you ht London." Pen thought that two months was not very long to mourn :for a father, but she was in love and young. She agreed to the lunch and the theatre, and even hoped that this Mrs. or Miss Ferguson might be Lound a '4uitablo person, and thus that she might not lose her afternoon, "You will stay the evening?" she said when Arthur Delarey gracefully he (,e s WEDNESDAY, JLINH 115th, 1)(21, a �.�•.�a•a•ro�•�•:•a•ra•ra.r♦.ro.r4•r�.1• 6 I� bi r..,• O •4i• WANTED .r 'daHE industrial Mortgage anti ' Savings Company, of Sarnia 01111111 0, )+1•111..1.1.11 11 ilia( rli coy 01' li o f t, , s.••. 1( t 1 1t11,1.', 13111.« )•(flog avow,' ms bola 11,118(8''Iw 1>> x o- apply to Jame. covvan, v,, 11, nut wlu, will ' 1 1 ed•,h rate4 a,.,! nth,•w 110' I It,' !III, Tho indsc-st; ir:1 aloe bend n anti Ff,Vt1(11(1 Company i, J.
