"Aunt Martha's the soul .of hos, �idallty, ,She'd just love it. Ylou know she would,", k A moment later and Tony found himself sitting in the libtEe parlour round the old gate-legged table with its. yellow-and+white .check cloth, There was, a bowl of yellow honey, suckle in the mlhtdie of . the table, and the crockery was yellow and white, and altogether it was per- fection, He sat bad)c iu his choir, declaring that the omelette was the most toothsome one he had ever tasted, the chocolate drink for the gods, Aunt Martha liked his modest al" considering he was going•ta be the owner of the Smedley thousands and enjoy all the magn'lflcance of The Hall, why he might have just been Robin, the way he 'stopped t'Irer praising her cooking, his eyes going every now and again to the flower-like beauty of her darling's dazzling face. Then, just as they were finishing, Robin breezed in, 'Come and 'rave a cup of 'choco- late, and there's a slice of ham and an egg going begging,'' Aunt Martha said. Robin sat downy obediently, His eyes: went to the sweet face of the girl he, loved, and there was a sudden look of jealousy in them. Why did Flower look so enchant- ingly sweet? Why were her eyes stars, and her cheeks pink roses She had never looked like that be- fore in, all her life. Lovely enough always,—yes, for Flower .couldn't look anything else, but to -day trans- figured. Only for a moment did Rabin -sat there quiet and silent. The next moment Flower had brought him into the conversation, talking about his farm, and the products for the tea-garden. "Robin and Aunt Martha axe the business heads of the establish- ment." " 'Flower's• just the ornament part of it," said Robin, "All ,the same, she works very hard, doesn't she, Aunt Martha." ':She's a splendid worker," said Aunt Martha. When they had both gone Aunt Martha was rather quiet, dreaming dream's, feeling a little ,sad, too, ;;e - cause she was fond of Robin, but it was easy to see that, for the first time in her life. Flower was taken up by another young man, Flower had never loved Robin with the deep, passionate warmth -of a lover; as a friend, as a sister aright love a brother—why, yes, but not with that wild, marl, intoxicat- ing rapture that Martha Watkinson knew only came once she had felt it for Harold Garden. He, whom she had been, so sure loved her, had married ,another woman! She Loved him still, thought so often of him. He had been brought up in the little village, and had left for London. Ho had been coming back to her. Per- haps he hadn't known that she loved ham, only living here in Ro- syth one went om caring for the old. One day she had heard that he was married, Married! The bitter pale of it, Only a year later he had turned up again with the little helpless baby in his, arms. She had thought that Harold Garden would go mad that night. He had' burled his wile; leaving her there in hondon, alone, Distraught, almost demented, he had brought the child to his old love. "Martha, you've always been, good to me. Youlve been like a sister.?' A. sister! That told her all she had ever wanted to know. A sister! "I've'ibrought the• baby. I can't bear bhe sight of ' cher, My parr little Grans!" Cruel to blame the poor little baby! i rt pirr r not "I'll look after her for you."

She ,counted 11010 as one who was dead indeed, sbe was quite sure be was dead. Weil, there had been no repining, no envy in her life, .She had forgiven Harold for not knc•wung that she loved Irina, for that was what it amounted, to, There only had been ams moment of fierce, sharp envy, and that was when he had put Flower into her arms. How she would have loved the child had she been her own! Then' she had chided herself, Who could, envy a woman }vara had passed aavay, leaving her tittle baby (laugh-' ter rnotl>;erless---leaving her hus- band alone! • Harold had gone a sick man i:: mind if not In body, leaving in a lonely grave all that'he had loved, mating the little daughter, who had cost her mother her life, unjustly blaming Flower for everything. Well, Martha WatkinsonA had gut something out of life, the lovely little' girl who had been daughter, everything .to her, Sometimes, looking at her, Martha realised wiry 11 was Harold had forgotten all he had left behind for the girl he had met in London, for Flower was not like Harold, Then she must be the mother Martha had never seen. 'Could any man resist that - flower dike beauty, the charm that emanat- ed from Flower? Rightly had she named' filer, the sweetest blossom .in her garden. Well, if she never saw him again, .she had got his child Indeed, she had done the very hest she possibly could for Flower. Had. n't Flower made life blossom for her, too .Once Flower asked her why ,she had been so good to her, and Martha told her that she once dreamed a love dream. "I loved your father, Flower. Love him now --.shall do till I die. I'nr forty, but alas, not too old to be in love, though he's dead." Floyer had caught her in her arms, had given her a fierce hug. `SOh, darling, if only he'd come back you and he night be happy ta- gether." "No, any dear, Your father was a man who would love once. Your mother.has his heart, and will du until the day he ddes. Well, I've got ,you You've made up to me for everything. Daily now, Aunt Martha watched Flower, dreamed for her. Was it possible that such a thing could come true, that Flower would bo mistress of the New Hall? Would Lady ,Smedley think Flower suitable wife for her nephew? She lass --she was—thought Aant Martina, • passionately. No one could be so- wholesome and sweet as Plower; she was so different from that frivulous .crowd up at The Hall A girl with a heart, that was Flower. , When Tony dropped in, which lie add very often, she watched Flower unnoticed. Instantly it was as though a lamp were lit, and the girl expanded, How gay the laugktsr that came from her lips! Harp bright were those speedwell blue eyes! It seemed as though a *new beauty had come to her. 'Sometimes she asked herself, was it possible than Tony could miss this ,perfect bloom? Of course, he mush have met many women during his twentyg;ye years. Attractive, good-looking, with the possibility of all that money coming to hire. it was not likely that Tony Lorrimer should escape, She was night in thinking that, Scarcely a woman he ever met bur was willing to be kind to the good- l-ooking man who was going to be Lady ,Smedley'. het?•, !He had been at The Hall for a fortnight when it dawned on Tony that he was always trying to escape the panty he had brought down, and talk to Flower. Ina flash he knew that the bourse party meant less) than nothing to him. Ole, Oleo, Not a girl counted besides .Flower. No, not even Janice: The night the truth dawned on him he could not, Sleep, .He got up early end paced up and down the lawn, lrands thrust into his pockets, eyes fixed on. the blue heavens, and it came to Tony that he had melt to be thanktil for, that he had been saved a very humiliating exper. tonne. If die had proposed to Saniice, and ft .had been very neat' once or twice, he would be engaged to her now, and not known, how to get out of it. He'd got to face It.
