"Yes, I will do that at once."
"I am very Much obliged to you,"
he said gravely. There was a mom-
ent's silence, and then he added,
rather less easily than he was in the
habit of speaking, "I think, in return
for your kindness, it is my duty to
tell you—but indeed I should have
told you had you given me a differ-
ent answer—that my son is despera-
tely in love with your daughter!"
"Yes," replied Mrs. Mansfield, "he
told me so."
"And you told him that you would
not hear of his proposal. But, in
spite of that—young people, you
know, are not easily turned aside
from their purposes — he is using
every opportunity to make himself
agreeable to Miss Mansfield. I have
no authority over him at his age. A
plan cannot control his son in such
matters—"
"Nor a woman her daughter ap-
parently," interposed Mrs. Mansfield
rather sadly. "I presume you mean
me to understand that Lilith is not
discouraging him as she knows ,I
wish her to do."
"Nay, my dear lady!" replied Lord
Lochfinnan smiling. 'Tc is not for
me to say what encouragement or
discouragement she gives him, but of
course she is young, and Haddis is
handsome and, I understand, very at-
tractive to your sex. Therefore it
would not be surprising if she found
it difficult to discourage him very
severely"
"Well, well, said Mrs, Mansfield,
"I hope is won't be very long before
I shall be able to take her away,"
"But, while we are on the subject,
will you tell me why you object so
strongly to my son as a suitor for
Miss Lilith's (land? He loves her
very sincerely, and I am ready to
pledge myself that he would make
her an excellent husband!"
"I do not doubt it," replied Mrs.
Mansfield coldly. "But for one thing,
I disapprove of these 'international'
marriages."
"If she marries Jack 'Greendison,
what would that be but an 'internal=
tional' marriage?" asked Lord Loch-
finnan.
"I fear," replied Mrs. Mansfield;
"she will never marry Jack Grandi-
son! But, if she ever does he will of
course have to be naturalised as an
American citizen. I am 'sorry to seem
rude, but I am very tired. I Must
exercise the privilege of an invalid
and send you away."
Lord Lochfinnan could not but ac-
cept his dismissal. When he was
gone Mrs. Mansfield called Lilith to
her.

Lilith came rather tremblingly.
She was not without fears that her
name might have been mentioned in
the interview which was just conclud-
ed. She quickly learnt that she was
right.
"Do you know what Lord Loch -
finnan has been saying to me?" began
Mrs. Mansfield, looking at her step-
daughter with the piercing eyes
which, despite Lilith's ,love for her,
so frightened her.
"No!" she faltered,
"He has been giving me to under-
stand bhat you have been taking the
opportunity of my being unable to
exercise any supervision over you by
flirting rather conspicuously with,
Lord Haddis. Is he right?"
The girl dropped on her knees be-
side Mrs. Mansfield's sofa and, bury-
ing her face in the gray teagown.
sobbed.
"Oh, Mrs, Masie, why won't you Iet
Inc marry him? I love him so!"
"You will love somebody else just
as much six months hence!" said her
stepmother, with gentle raillery.
"Let us have no more of this non-
sencel I hope that, in a fortnight
at the latest, we shall leave this place,
and then you will forget all about
him."
Lilith rose and went into the house
without another word. Mrs. Mans-
field lay with her hands folded, deep
in thought, while a variety of ex-
pressions crossed her face. Presently
she rang the handbell that summon-
ed her maid.
"Find out, please," she said to Til -
let, when she appeared, "if Mr.
Grandison is in the house, and, if he
is, toll him I should be muds obliged
to him if he would come here and
speak to ole for a moment."
Jacic was in the house and appear-
ed a few minutes later in answer to
her message.
She received him with a kind
smile.
"Sit down there," she said, indica.
ting the chair that had been placed
:for Lord Lochfinnan. " I have some
thing to say to you that you won't
like; but I have promised to say it.
Lord Lochfinnan has just been here.
"Well, what of that?" asked Jack.
"IIe has been to complain that his
daughter can never go anywhere in
Alessi° without meeting you."
"Alassio does not belong to him,"
replied Jacic. "I suppose lie does not
expect nee to refuse invitations to
every house where I ams likely to
meet her?" •
"No, I think he knows that you
could not be persuaded to do that.
The long and the short of it is I —
I have promised to send you away.",
"Send me away!" cried Jack. ris-
ing to his feet in great agitation
"Do you mean that you dismiss inc
from my post?"
"No, no, you foolish boy! Sit
down. I only mean that I want you
to go away from Alaisso for a time.
The work you do for me can be as
well done elsewhere—at least a great
deal of it can."
"I won't go!" said Jack doggedly,
"Oh, yes, you will 1" said Mrs,
Mansfield.
But for a time Jack stuck to his
refusal. In vain she represented to
him that, as he was in her employ,
he should do what she asked him, He
replied that in that: ease he would
leave her employ, but he would not
leave Alassio. Then she pointed out

This letter agitated Mrs. Mans-
field considerably. He gave her 110
clue as to where he was going, and
on inquiry she found he had left no
address for letters to be forwarded
to him. Lilith knew nothing of his
destination of intentions, nor, it ap-
peared, did Cecily, who cane down
to the hotel in the afternoon and,
with unusual self -abandonment, im-
plored Lilith 'co tell her if she knew
where he had gone and why.
Cecily too had received a farewell
letter, couched in rather grandilo-
quent terms—
"My own dear one—This is to bid
you good-bye—for how long I do not
know, perhaps for ever. I have been
driven from Alassio on your account,

CHAPTER XX
Lord Lochfinnan and his daughter
did not return from the picnic till
late. They found Haddis already
back from Genoa. He seemed to he
in the wildest spirits and laughed and
talked all dinner -time with unusual
vivacity.
"There were great lamentations
over your absence," Lord Lochflnnan
said. "Indeed one young lady felt
it so much that she would not go at
all."
"I an much flattered," replied
Haddis, "May I ask who the young
lady was?"
"Need you ask?" said :bis sister,
"What young lady is there who would
pay you such a compliment except
that foolish little Lilith Mansfield?"
"Indeedl" replied Haddis; but he
said it rather indistinctly.
"At the sante tinge" said Lord Loch
fine/an, "I should like to know hew
she knew you were not going. You
must have written to tell her so."
"Did she tell you that she knew I
was not going?" asked Haddis lightly.
"Well, no, not exactly, but the in-
ference was obvious. My dear boy,
T wish you would refrain, at least till
her stepmother is up and about a-
gain, from entangling her in clandes-
tine correspondence and that ort 0

lege fallowing morning Cecily an-
nounced her intention of going to
see Mrs. Mansfield.
"If she cam reeeiVe. you, father, she
call receive ore,," she said: " and I
chink I ought to go to ser. her."
certainly think you ought," re-
plied her father warmly; but Haddis
expressed an unexpected oppooition
to the plan.
"I should wait till she asks to see
you," he said.
Cecily looked at him in some sur-
prise.
"What on earth can it matter to
you," she asked, "whether I go to
see Mrs. Mansfield or not?"
"Oh, it doesn't, as you say, matter
to me in the least!" he answered
hastily. "I will walk down with
you," he added. "I suppose you
won't go till after lunch."
Accordingly, about three o'clock,
Cecily and her brother descended the
salita together. His high spirits of
the night before had vanished. Ho
was grave. and seemed preoccupied.
Two or three times he opened his lips
abruptly and seemed about to say
something, and each time he left the
intended speech unuttered. Arrived
at the hotel, he observed, -
f 1 eerily looked at her in grave sur-
prise,
1 "011, all right!" she said i'ci'ng';
and Lilith blushed deeper at, hes tune,
"1t is nr,ly ._.._ ..° she began.
"Pray don't trouble to a Xplain,"
interrupted (."cony, "11 is no dullness
of mine!"
Than her heart sintire her -•-- the

ton,

about you if you are seen about with
him too much."
"I know," faltered Lilith in answ-
er in this gentle admonition. "You
are very kind—I • would like you to
be my friend."
They were already at the door of
Mrs, Mansfield's room, and no further
conversation was possible, Lilith led
her through the bedroom out on to
the balcony, where Mrs. Mansfield
was installed on her sofa. She greet-
ed Cecily warmly—she was fond of
the girl,
"It is nice of you to come to see
me unasked," she said. "I am be-
ginning to pine for society, Lilith is
becoming so dull. I suppose, poor
child, it is the result of too constant
attendance on an invalid! I can't get
any satisfactory account out of her
about the picnic yesterday, so you
must tell me all about it."
Cecily felt her colour rise. Any-
thing in thes hape of deceit was in-
tensely distasteful 'co her. She felt
ashamed for Lilith and ashamed for
'herself. Yet what could she do? She
could not betray the girl.
(Continued Next Week)
The London and Northwesters
railway has instituted in the Middles-
orough and Redcar aret a system of
ayment of holiday railway fares by
nstallments.
"We had better send up for Miss
Mansfield and ask her if Mrs. Mans-
field will see you."
"Mrs. Mansfield is capable of an-
swering for herself whether she will
see me or not," replied Cecily; and
she told the waiter to ask Mrs. Mans-
field if she would see Lady Cecily
Cranston.
In answer to this message Lilith
came down. She appeared to be in
an indescribable flutter of nervous-
ness, and the hand she gave Cecily
was quite cold. To Haddis she
scarcely spoke.
"Mrs. Masie will be very glad to
see you, if you will come up," Lilith
said to Cecily, and the two girls left
Haddis to amuse himself as he best
could while they went upstairs. At
the 'cop of the stairs Lilith suddenly
turned to Cecily and, with a very
pink face, said—
"Would you mind not—not=-tell-
ing—not alluding to the fact. that I
laid not go to the picnic yesterday?"

What Makes a Town ?
A prosperous rural population which demands a community
centre where may be established 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 Maintains It ?
The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
ap-keep, of the inethutions in such towns are in the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith. Without the active business and
profeasional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tione and undertakings no town could thrive.
Who is Mainly Affected?
Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do their part in eairymg 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 sheald.
Publicity is Required
In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part.
It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic
and patr-totie undertakings. But to function properly, and
fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the
financial suppqrt of the community it serves. When needing
advertising orrinted matter always first think of
