CHAPTER IX.
When the valet had gone Haddis,
after looking at Grandison to see if
are wanted anything, went and sat
down with his book near the win-
dow.
Jack was lying, as he had lain all
these days, in a stupor. Once or
twice he had shown some symptoms
of aotive consciousness, but for the
outside our house; we took you n,
and have been looking after you.
You are in Haddis Castle—and I am
Haddis."
He was a little nervous as to the
effect of this announcement, but
Jack was too weak to excite himself
mnue'h. Ho lay still for a moment af-
ter it had been remade, and then he
said—
most part be seemed wholly insen-. ':1 begin to remombek something
sible to all that was passing around
him.
Though Hacldis disposed himself
to read, he gave very litle attention
to his book. His thoughts were full
of the interview that had just taken
place in Cecily's sitting -room. Lilith's
sweet childlike face and blue eyes
Caine between him and the page a.id
distracted his thoughts.
He gave up the attempt to read
and, leaning back in his chair, aband-
oned How himself to reverie.w l ong long
lie had been dreaming he knew not
when a sound from the bed attracted
his attention, In an instant he was
beside Jack.
The invalid's eyes were open with
the clear light of reason in them. He
was feebly but deliberately looking
about the room. As Haddis ap-
proached he turned his eyes on him.
It must be remembered that his en-
counter with Cecily's brother had
taken place in the dark, and that he
had never seen him before that. He
looked into his face now with a
puzzled air.
I don't quite know where I. am,"
he said, "but it scents to me that I
have been here a long time."
"You are all right," responded
Haddis. "1 wouldn't trouble myself
to do much thinking at present, if I
about it. It has been bothering me
as I lay here not able to rouse my-
self. What was the accident?" he
added suddenly.
"It was my fault," answered Had-
dis. "I had no intention of knock-
ing you down—but it seems that I
did."
"Ah!" murmured Jack. "Yes, I
am beginnnig to remember all about
it. Anil you are looking after me
now? That is rather good of you in
the curcumstances,"
"There is not much goodness a-
bout it," said Haddis coldly. "You
are not a personal enemy of mine."
"But certainly not a friend," said
Jack, a little slyly. Then a faint -
flush mounted to his face. "Cecily"
—he began wistfully.
"If you don't mnid," replied Had-
dis quickly, "we won't talk about my
sister. Site is all right," he added
unwillingly.
Jack closed his eyes, exhausted by
the efttort he had already made.
Haddis sat down close to the bed
and watched him rather anxiously.
This man was an obect of scorn and
dislike to him, but the instinct to
care for one who has become de-
pendent on him which is latent in
every man was roused in hila. He

Ilacldis was not sorry to be reliove
ed. He did not desire any more
conversation with Jack at present.
Mrs, Mansfield tools the chair he
had vacated, and sat looking intent-
ly at the face of the sick man. His
eyes had closed again, and he had
fallen into a natural sleep. '
"I wonder," she murmured to her-
self, "if this is he?"
But, whatever might be the mean-
ing of her enigmatical words, s'he
;was not destined to have them an-
swered at present. Jack slept pro-
foundly until Haddis returned at five
o'clock to lot Mrs. Mansfield do down
to tea, and when a quarter of an
hour later he joined the party in the
1 drawing -room, having left his ser-
vant in charge, ho reported that the
patient was still sleeping.

under the tea table and stooped to

gone by next Thursday."
Lilith said nothing.
Mrs. Mansfield had made all her
arrangement, to leave Haddis Castle
the next Thursday, but she had not
yet announced the fact more than
vaguely to the household. She did
near to do that till two days before,
so as to avoid all remonstrances.
She ]cnew, in fact. that it would be
better for Lilith to remain where
she was a little longer.
"But," reflected the stepmother,
"it is better to risk her being thrown
backs little in her bodily health than
that her heart should be broken."
The following day, which was Sat-
urday, the Doctor ordered Lilith to
be taken down to the drawing -room.
Haddis made his sister's life a bur-
den to her all the morning in ]fns
anxiety to arrange the room com-
fortably.
Did she not think it as well to
move the sofa a little nearer the fire-
place? Might they not bring an-
other screen in for fear of draught:?
Were there enough flowers in th',
room? It scarcely looked cheerful
enough for an invalid.
Cecily, who by this time had seen
whither her brother's thoughts were
tending, went away, telling him he
had better settle the drawing -room
as he thought fit. In other circum -
"You are very good," she replied,
"but, you see, I ata aeficustomed to
do most things for myself."
Haddis ate his breakfast and said
nothing. ITe was reflecting that it
was unfortunate that he and his sis-
ter were not on the confidential
terms they once were.
Mrs. Mansfield finished her break-
fast first and rose to leave the room.
When site was gone the three who
were left maintained a complete sil-
ence. None of them desired to con-
fide in either of the other two, and
they very soon separated.

The' towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
ap-keep. of the institutions in such towns are in the h•ruds
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith, Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern those public institu-
tions and undertakings no town could thrive,
Who is Mainly Affected
Every citizen either ho 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, either by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
Publicity is Reauired

and patriotic undertakings. But to function properly, and
