NEW SERIAL STORY. (All rights Reserved) "vF
Mrs. Mansfield left her alone. She
knew that these tears would give re-
lief to the overwrought brain.
Presently the girl rose.
"I am sorry for being so foolish,”
elle murmured. "You are very kind
to ale."
"I and sorry for you," said Mrs.
Mansfield. "Why, my child, you are
riot much older than Lilith there! I
have always a soft corner in nay
heart for -young girls. But now you
must go to bed and try to sleep."
eerily answered submissively that
elle would, and Mrs. Mansfield drew
her towards her and kissed her
check.
Cecily went to her room, as she
had promised to do, and even went
to bed, but no sleep visited her eyes
through the long hours,
With the first signs of morning
she rose and, hurriedly dressing her-
self, crept along the passage to Had-
dis's room where Jack was, The
door was shut, and she could hear no
sound within. Could she have been
certain that only Haddis watched by
the young man's bedside she would
have risked her brother's anger and
crept in to ask for news; but she
was ashamed to show herself and her
profound interest in the patient to
the Doctor, though he was an old
friend whom she had known from
childhood.
While she lingered, unable to tear
herself away,' and yet fearing every
moment to be caught by some early
housemaid, the door suddenly open-
ed, and Doctor Meade came out. He
was going to rouse Haddis to take
Iris place having forbidden hire to
come until he was called.
He started back at the sight of
Ceeily:
The girl's pale face flushed crim-
son, but silo stood her ground. She
]aid her sling handl appealingly on
the Rector's arm.
"How is he?" she asked in a whis-
per.
Doctor .Alende knew exactly how
matters stood, for Mr. Scott had
not hesitated to tell him the whole
story in order that when he was ,
questioned by the outside world he
might know how to answer with dis-
cretion. He looked pityingly at the
girl and answered kindly—
"He 18 not verse, Lady Cecily;
and in these cases that is always
so mottling."
Cecily looked wistfully past him
into the darkened room.
"Let me come in for a moment
and see him," she whispered.
Doctor Meade was a little taken
aback.

mered, "I—I don't snow if Lord
Lochfinnan would quite approve!"
"Ile certainly wouldn't approve."
an.;werd Cecily, "But, please, take
100 in.for a minute, all th esame! He
won't know me. It can do no Harm,
Oh, Doctor Meade, do let me see him
fal just one minute!"
Doctor Meade was not proof a-
gainst her pleading, but- he yielded
under protest.
"I oughtn't to do it, you know,"
he said. "Lord Lochfinnan would be
very angry with me. And you must
promise, if I take you in, only to
stay one moment!"
"Oh, yes, 1 promise!" answered
Cecily eagerly, and he moved aside
to let her come into the room, follow-
ing her and carefully closing the
door after her.
The room was so carefully dark-
ened that no ray of the morning
light streamed in, and at first Cecily
could scarcely see in the very dim
light. But she made her way to the
bedside, and as her eyes got accus-
tomed to the dimness she made out
Jack's face on the pillow, deadly
white, with bandages round his head.
She stood quite still and gazed
down at him, the Doctor watching
her the while.
Suddenly Jack stirred. Ile moved
his head upon the pillow and then
opened his eyes, looked straight up
al; the girl who stood, scarcely daring
to breathe, beside him, and murmur-
ed—
"Cecily!"
CHAPTER VII,
When Jack spoke Cecily looked at
the Doctor for direction as to what
to do. He answered her by quietly
drawing het• aside and bidding her
keep out of sight while he bent over
the patient.
But the gleam of recognition had
been but transient. - It was gone a-
gain i11 a minute and Jack lay as
before, motionless and spent.
"Still, it lea good sign," the Doc-
tor murmured in Cocily's ear, and
then he begged her to go away, "You
eau do no good here, and I shall get
into trouble for letting you come in."
So Cecily returned to her :room,
undressed, and went back to bed,
and this time slept till the housemaid
carte in at eight o'clock.
Then she put on her dressing -gown
and wont to inquire how Lilith. was,
She found Mrs. Mansfield very cheer-
ful.ovcr her stepdaughter. ,
"She is going on as well as pos-
sible," she said in answer to CeciIy's
inquiries. "Come in and see her!"
Cecily went in to find the invalid
awake, and, though looking pale and
fragile, alert and interested in her
sutr•onndinge.
She stretched out her uninjured
Hand to Cecily.
"I am so glad to see you," site
said, "Mrs. Maisie says you have
been so kind."
Mrs. Mansfield here interposed to
explain that her stepdaughter had
always called her "Mrs. Maisie" eves'
since she had been her stepdaughter,
"She full into it of her own ac-
cord," explained the stepmother,
"and ,though I think I should have
iked her to call me'mother,' I have
a fooling against any child giving an-
other -woman but her real mother
that sacred name, It seems a kind
of fobbing of the dead --and Lilith
knows I love her as if I were her
nether."

and atll her sympathies were o

"Olt, 1 do hope," she cried, "that

Lochfinnan will lot her marry him!"
Mrs. Mansfield was silent. She to

she sympathised with the father too,

and admired a middle aged rich wid-

tr ache` had long since ceased to he

rbc had been sincerely fond of her
millionaire husband. Nevertheless,
there were times when she knew that
life had good things to give and that
that she had missed them. She had
never allowed herself regret, but she
told herself she would not stand in
I.ilith's wary should she ever love a
Winn who was, from a wordly point
of view, ineligible, so long as he was
worthy of her child In other ways.
She did not reflect that in her an-
xiety for Lilith's happiness she might
not judge fairly as to the worthin-
ere of an aspirant for Lilith's hand.
She spoke at length in answer to
Lilith's last words.
"1 think Lord Lochfinnan will have
to allow the marriage," she said, "if
the young man recovers. But it is a
pity—I mean a pity he should be
forced into allowing what he so
slrongly disapproves!"
When Mrs. Mansfield went down
to the dining -room she found no one
there but Lord Lochfinnan, who
greeted her cordially.
"You have one of the first of
v irtues—punctuality 1" he said.
Mrs. Mansfield laughed and re-
plied that she could be very unpunct-
lnil On occasion.
Lord Lochfinnan uncovered the
hot dishes on the side -table and en-
umeratocl them for 1122.s. Mansfield's
benefit.
"I will have some omelet," she
said, in answer to his inquiry which
of them she would eat. "I hear that
your other guest—I don't know his
name yet—„
"Grandison is his name," iNter-
polated Lord Lochfinnan as he set
her plate • down before her, for he
would not have the servants In at
breakfast.
"Grandison!" repeated Mrs. Mans-
field, with a note of surprise in her
nice. i
Lord Lochfinnan looked at her in
surprise.
"Ye,. Do you know slim?" Ise
asked.
"Oh, no!" replied Mrs. Mansfield
hastily. "I don't know him at all."
"You spoke tn. if you dict --at Leat:`
ns if the name struck you !"
"Yee, es, .1:—I have hoard the name!"
said Mrs. Mansfield. There was cb-
vdous confusion in her manner.- nner.- "But
as a matter of .fact, I don't know any
one of the name."
Lord Lochfinnan glanced at leer
for an instant with a slight •eche" of
discomfort. Her manner cesitainly
seemed a little odd, but she looked
up from her omelet and met his
glance quite unconcernedly.
Ceeily presently appeared; soon
after her came Haddis, and finally
the Doctor.
"Yes," said the latter, in reply to
Lord Lochfinnan's questions, "it ap-
pears to me that he is a shade better
—that le to say, there is a shade
more hopethan there was last
night."
"But wily do you think so?" asked
Lord, Lochfinnan. "Ilas 110 shown
any signs of recovering conscious-
ness?"
Coolly bent over her plate to ]side
her rising colour, but no one noticed
her except Mrs. Mansfield, who never
let anything escape her observation.
It did not escape her that Doctor
Meade gave a half -mischievous, hetif-
voluntary loots at Cecily's bowed
head before he replied --

"Fruit -a -trues" the sure
way to regular health
4k,
MRS. A. PARENT.
Daily tasks rob many women of the
priceless boon of good health, because
constipation, biliousness, headaches, in-
digestion, backaches and kindred alle
meets, undermine their constitutions.
Read this sincere Iatter:
Driscol Lake, Sask.—"I have taken
many kinds of medicine, but none proved
as good as 'Fruit -a -Lives' for me. It is
the only medicine I take—I use it regu-
larly and do not feel right if I do not."
—Mrs. A. Parent.
"Fruit-a-tives" is universally successful
because it is a natural medicine—made
from the intensified juices of fresh fruits,
combined with tonics. It will help you,

her, •'1 will go up and see the young
lady immediately atter breakfast,
and teen 1 must be off on my
rounds,"
"Very well," said Mrs. Mansfield.
"1 will go up and see if she has had
her breakfast,"
She rose and left the room as she
spoke. In the hall she met Mr, Scott,
"A'i1," she exclaimed, unheeding,
nes request for news of the d:rvalids,
"I am glad to see you! I want to
say a word or two to you in private.
te mem in here!" She led the way in-
to the drawing -roma. "Tell me," she
went on, "if it is true that Lord
Lochfinnan is poor. Last night,
when he said that about the carpet I
thought it was a joke, but something
Lady Cecily let fall, and one or two
other little things, have made me
think that perhaps it is true."
The agent looked at her rattler
coldly.
"If you will excuse my saying so,"
he replied, "I don't know that it is
exactly my business to answer ques-
tions concerning my employer!"
"Oh, bless me!" exclaimed the
lady impatiently. "Haw particular
you eve! Since Lord Lochfinnan
said so himself, I don't know why
you should not say so too, if it is
true!"
"I should like to know first why
you want to know," said Mr. Scott
cautiously.
Mrs. Mansfield looked at him
steadily as she asked—
"Do you think that I am consider-
ing Lord Lochfinnan as a possible

an American will do anything to
merry a lord!"
111r. Scott thought he could not do
better then imitate her frankness, $0
he replied coolly—
"t have thought it possible— or
that you would like to marry your
daughter to Lord Haddis l"
"Then I can tell you you are mis-
taken!" she said; and, though she
had provoked the statement, she was
furiously angry. "There is nothing
in the world I dash) less than that
my stepdaughter should buy, with
her large fortune, a titled husband
who would care only for her money
ilial despise her nationality. In fact,
I don't think anything would induce
me to let her marry an English

Mr. Scott was a little sorry he had
been beguiled into such frankness,
"You asiked rho," he said, a little
apologetically. "Let us return to
your first question. Lord .Lochfinnan
is very poor for 0 man in his posi-
tion."
"Why could you not have said that
at first?" she exclaimed. "Then what
1 want to say is that. I shall -get out

said—
"There is no use my talking any

added, "But I like you for being so

"Thank you. I have a wife al-

"That is a good thing," said she,

She turned from him, laughing,

She went back to Lilith and told
her that she was going downstairs
for a short time, and the maid wa.;
to remain with her for the present.
Then she went in search of Cecs'y.
She did not find her, but she saw
Lord Lochfinnan walking outside on
the lawn, so she promptly took a par-
asol which she had found in the hall
and went out to him.
He greeted her with pleasure and
asked if she would accompaly him
round the garden which she at once
consented to do. -
But she was somewhat dis`,ra:t,
and at length she said—

"Doctor Meade will be up here in

which she always spoke to her step-

Doctor Meade almost immediately
followed upon this announcement.

In promotion wort: your local paper takes the leading part.
