"I am delighted to hear it. an:l
now, as I am 'extremely buay and
worried, I shall be glad if you will
go to your tea and reflect on what I
have said to you. A little calm con-
sideration will, I am sure, suffice to
convince you that I should not be
doing my duty t awards you if I con-
sent to your engaging yourself to
this—”
"3Ir. Grnndieon!” said the butler,
aptly finisher.;;• the sentence for hint,
as he threw open the door and stood
aside to let the visitor thus inopport-
unely announced enter. The visitor
was a fail' -haired young man, of
medium height and prepossessing ap-
pearance, though without any claim
to good looks.
Father and daughter rose hurried-
ly to their feet. Lord Lochfinnan
greeted the new comer with a cold
dignity which was somewhat marred
by the ridiculous effect produced by
his disordered hair, and effect of
which he was happily unconscious.
"This is an unexpected pleasure
—" he began.
The young man looked involuntar-
ily at the top of his hosts 'he'ad,
where the thin locks were standing
up at every angle. His face express
ed bewilderment, mingled with a
strong desire to Laugh. Cecily, from
behind her father's back, cast a
glance, half hunlourous, half implor-
ing, at her lover, and then gave way
to giggles. Upon this he took cour-
age. Cecily would not giggle were
her father determined to be obdur-
ate. He said with a tolerable assum-
ption of ease—
"Cecily, Lady 'Cecily—asked me
to call today. She told me that —
that she would tell you—that she
would prepare you—"
"She has told me some nonsense
about your wanting to marry her,"
broke in Lord Lochfinnan, impatient
.of the young man's incoherent be-
ginning, "and I have told her to
thing no more about it. Do you sup-
pose, my dear sir, that you are the
first man who has wanted to mal'ry
her?"
Mr, Grandison murmured some-
thing to the effect that he did not
.suppose anybody who had ever seen
Lady Cecily could possibly not want
to harry her, but Lord Lochfinnan
,cut him short.
"Of course you think so!" he said
good-humouredly. "I don't want to
make too much ofl'this absurd affair.
.And I happen also to be very busy.
Go out and have tea with my daugh-
ter, and remember I can see you

to attempt any philandering. I trust
to your honour that whether your
are under my eyes or not there shall
be no more of that."
Jack Grandison was for a moment
nonplussed.
"I have surely at least a right to
ad:. that you will hear me," he said.
—"not perhaps today if you are
basy, but another day. Any day you
may like to appoint I can come."
Lord Lochfinnan looked at him for
0 moment without speaking.
The young man's face flushed un-
der the scrutiny. It was an attract-
ive face, the face of a man born to
be loved by women, though not nec-
essarily to make the happiness of
women. The mouth was thin lipped
and wide, the chin fine and square.
There was a shadow in the gray eyes
which seemed to brood there always,
even when he smiled, though his
smile brought a look of tenderness
into his face. He smiled now. Then
as the elder man was still silent, he
said—
"I should not be worthy of Lady
Cecily if I were content to take a dis-
missal so lightly. You will at least
give me a serious hearing?"
Lord Lochfinnan sighed and frown
ed. He fingered the papers on his
writing -table for a few moments;
but then, in a more serious tone than
be had yet used, he said—
"I will of course hear what you
have to say if you insist upon it, but
I hope that after a little conversa-
tion with my daughter you will. give
un your claim to go through the
useless ceremony of being heard.
Cecily," 11e added, turning to his
daughter, "the kettle must by this
time have nearly boiled dry! Take
Mr. Grandison out, give him tea; and
acquaint him with the arguments
which I have already presented for
your consideration."
He turned ostentatiously to his
writing -table, and sat down with an
ail of dismissal.
• The two young people left the
room, and a moment afterwards
could be seen crossing the lawn to-
wards the tea -table.
When he was left alone, Lord
Lochfinnan's face lost •the slightly
mocking expression it had worn dur-
ing the last quarter of an Hour. In-
stead of setting himself t othe busi-
ness which he had declared claimed
his attention so urgently, he oat
watching his daughter and Mr.
Grandison cross the lawn. They made
a good-looking couple. The young
lean was well -knit, walked with
something of a soldier's air, and was
easy and graceful in all his move-
ments, showing to the practised ob-
server• that he was accustomed 4'o
athletic exercises. Lord Lochfinnan
was not exactly a practised observer,
but he realised that Jack Grandison
had qualities which would be likely
to attract a girl's 'fancy. Ho asked
himself if they were great enough to
keep a girl's fancy? From his eon-
templation of the man 11e turned to
1:is daughter.
Cecily was very pretty; she was in
fact pretty enough to be called bea-
utiful by persons who were not ptur-
ists in the -use of words. She was
tell and slim, with a delicate creamy
complexion which only showed rose
tints when she was agitated. Her
eyes were large and dark, and her
halt was soft, dark, and enveloped
her email graceful head like, a cloud.
She wore a chess of soft cotton Ma-
terial •of a palet pink hue which foll

he believed it to be neeeesary to a
O'elnan'a happiness to marry in her
(10;11 rank and lead the life to which
she leas brought up.
Lord Lochlinuan was, for his posi-
tion, a poor man. It would be all he
could do to leave his only son with
an unencumbered estate. He could
not leave his daughter a fortune, and.
he had always supposed that he
would never be called upon to do so.
She was surely attractive enough to
marry well.
But, with the inconsistency of
human nature, when suitors came
for her, he resented it. She had
"come out” the previous autumn.
Iie had taken her on a round of
country -house visits, and after her
presentation in the spring he had
given her a -season in London. She
had had several proposals, some of
them, hie sisters and sister-in-law
assured hint, such as he should have
jumped at. But he had not jumped
at them. There was time enough.
None of these suitors had taken the
girl's fancy, and he had dismissed
them all, the eligible and the in-
eligible alike. There was no fear in
the case of a woman so attractive
as she that the right man would not
turn up at the right time. Lord
Lochfinnan secretly considered that
the right time would be when he
himself was about to depart this life.
Ire could not spare his girl before.
Ifut. as he was only fifty years old,
he knew he would have to resign him
self to parting with her before that
is lie was destined to live out the
appointed years of man.
And now Cecily bad suddenly tak-
en it into her head that she .wanted
to marry this penniless unknown man
whom she had met at a second-rate
ball in London—a ball her father
would not have 'taken her to had it
not been that he was under some ob-
ligation to a giver of the ball, and
Lord Lochfinnan was not a man to
repudiate any obligation.
Then, as luck would have it, this
young man had turned up again a
month later as one of the part pro-
prietors of a little shooting -place 4
mils from Haddis Castle. The young
men who owned this shooting be-
tween them were for the most part
lawyers and small business men from
the northern provincial towns, and
did not as a rule conte within the
cognizance of the great houses in
the neighbourhood. But it had hap-
pened this year that one of the party
had been specially recommended to
I,ord Lochfinnan's notice by a friend
and thus Tack Grandison came to be
also one of the Castle guests. Lord
Lochfinnan took a fancy to Jack, He
was a good shot, a good 'fisherman,
and a good billiard -player, all of
which accomplishments were pass-
ports to Lord Lochfinnan's favour.
In ordinary eireutnstances Lord
Lochfinnan and his daughter would
have been away most of the months
of August and September, but this
year Lord Lochfinnan's doctor bad
forbidden him to sit up late, eat good
dinners, drink champagne, or do any
of the things usual in country -house
visiting. bele thenofors determined
to stay quietly at home and devote
himself to getting well,. Cecily was
delighted at the plan. She loved her
home better than any place in the
world, In November there would
come a series of guests for the phea-
sant shooting, but for two months
the father and daughter had been a-
lone, and during those two months
the mischief had been brewing. Any
woman would have seen at once what
was happening, but Lord Lochfinnan
had never suspected it. The idea.
thtit his daughter, who in London
was considered almost the neeessaly
completion of every smart party,
should fall in love with a stray
young man who happened by tho
merest accident to be admitted to
her acquaintance would have struck
him as preposterous,
At this point Lord Lochfinnan's

"ITow are you, dad?" cried the
nety-comer simultaneously with Lord
Lochfinnan's delighted cry. ---
"Why, my boy, where did you
drop from?"
The father and son clasped hands
warmly.
"I have come this minute from
Chester. The Mandertons put me
off. They have got scarlet fever or
something in the house.• So, as I
had already got my week's leave, I
thought I might as well spend it
In re."
"I am glad," said his father. "But
why on earth slid you not telegraph
to have something sent to meet you
at the station?"
"Oh, I thought I'd like to sur-
prise you! I came from the station
on old Dobb's bicycle—a ramshackle
old thing it is to. I nearly broke my
neck coming• down the lart 11i11."
"Then what have you done about
your luggage?"
"Oil, I told my man to find some
sort of conveyance for it; it will
turn up all right!" replied Lord
Haddis carelessly,
Iris father looked at him with
warm, affection. Nor would his par-
ental partiality have seemed surpris-
ing to any onlooker. Lord Hacldis
was a son of whom any father might
be proud. He was very like his sis-.
ter, with the same dark hair and
eyes, and the same creaminess of
skin, though the creaminess was be-
comingly obscured by a healthy sun-
burn, He was as tall for a man as
Cecily was for a woman. In one
or two respects however. there was a
marked difference between the bro-
ther and sister. While both had the
same determined chin, Haddis's
mouth was cut in sterner lines, and
his expression was habitually grave,
as of one who thought a good deal.
"It is good to see you again, my
boy!" Lord Lochfinnan said.
"It is good to be here again!" re-
sponded his son heartily. "Where
is Cecily?"
Lord Lochfinnan's face clouded a-
gain.
"Cecily is out there on the lawn
with a young man," he replied lugub-
riously.
"There generally is a young man
about where Cecily is," observed
Haddis, with a smile.
"Yes, but this particular young
Man wants to marry iter," explained
Lord Lochfinnan, still more lugub-
riously.
Haddis laughed.
"It seems to rte that they general-
ly do want to marry her," he said.
"Yes, but this time she wants to
marry brim!" cried Lord Lochfinnan.
Haddis did not laugh now; he
knitted his blows,
"Oh, does she?" 11e said. "That
is quite a different thing. She is a
great deal too young to marry."
Haddis from the height of his five
years' seniority professed to look
upon his sister as a child.
"Of course she is!" assented his
father. "Besides, this man is im-
possible,"
"Who is 11e?"
"A fellow called- Grandison." re-
plied Lord Lochfinnan. Then, in an-
swer to the look of inquiry in his
son's eyes, ho went on to explain.

"You never gave her any encour-

asked Haddis slyly.
"I never gave her any encourage-
ment to look at this one!" replied
Lord Lochfinnan testily.
"But, my dear dad, why are you
allowing flim to sit on the lawn with
her?"
"Well, as he was here I couldn't
very well send him away without _lis
tea," explained Lord Lochfinnan ap-
ologetically.
"Yon might at least be out there
with them," said his son inexorably.
"I am not allowed to drink tea,
replied Lord Lochfinnan, "and 1
should drink it if I were out there."
"You are looking much better,
though," said his sari, forgetting ill,
sister's love alTairs for a moment and
gazing at his father critically.
"Oh. yes, I am nearly all right
:again! But I am rather worried just
at present."
"What are you worried about?"
asked his son sympathetically.
"Money, my dear boy, money!" re-
plied Lord Lochfinnan. "Scott was
up here this morning with a face as
long as your arms. He says the cot-
tages in the Lake Road all want re-
pairing, and that several of the
farms are too highly rented, and that
there is something wrong with the
new bullock -yard."
He paused as if endeavoring to ref
collect more of Mr. Scott's grievan-
ces. Mr. Scott was his agent.
"The Lake Cottages are in a dis-
graceful state certainly," replied
Haddis thoughtfully. "I passed them
just now and noticed it."
"But where am I to get the money
with which to repair them?" .cried
Lord Lochfinnan fretfully. "I can't

What Makes a T° r.wn ?
A prosperous rural population which demands a conununt.ty
centre where may be establiohed business, educational, relig-
ious and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish and
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section
realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre.
What aintag l s it ?
The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
op -keep. of the institutions in such towns are in the elands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith, Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tion,; and undertakings no town could thrive,
ho is Mainly Affected?
Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good
Cause which may be promoted, oilther by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it sh.orld.
