along with a heat of others, in the
same category as many a one she
-lied heard :talk of after the night of
a dance: Yet this was the young man,
no doubt, and Patricia: wasthe one
he wanted to . see. Her little eyes
swept his face With's shrewder glance
and when, even for her -Patricia; she
could discover nothing but of What
she approved, there was a pain at her
heart with the thought of the 'disap-
Pointment In etre for him. •
Petricia had chosen for herself the
life of the cenverit,. and her •meeling
with this young man -had in no way
served tO alter her mind. There was
a moment's agitation in Mrss Slat-
tery's conscience,when she wondered
.weeld it not bebetter to tell him
then and there, to turnhim from the
door and send him back about his bine
iness, for that there was nothing
short' of clisillitsionment . for his epor-
tion. What dissuaded her from that,
it would be impossible to say. There
is some ,occult vision in a woman,

her eyes and ignores elide the most

into the future through the strongest
obstruction of all the moat insur-
mountable barriers of life, and sets a
course which' many a mai would
tremble to pursue.
Such e vision as this may have
come that moment to Mrs. Slattery,
for she hung open the door and bid
Charles Stuart step in. He was not.

lie -feeling that now atlast he was
in the house where she lived, that he
caught his feet in one of the' holes
in the mat, that had been brought
back from the outhouse, and fell pro-
strate into the hall.
"Didn't 'I say 'Wes no good liavinh
that mat put back again!" exclaimed
Mrs_ Slittery as she helped him to his
feet. "There's 'the drawing 'mein in
there," she added, and he ,walked in-
to the vast chamber which, since the
death of Mrs..' Desmond, was 'never
used . by any - one member, of that
household, unless 'on those exception-
al oecasiens. when ceremony was -to
be observed. .But here was one of

would be proper. for him. to leave...
During that period of his waiting
he looked about him, not as one train-
ed to observe, yet being made aware
at every turn of the fallen fortunes
of that house of Desniend. From va-
rious rusty curtain -poles hung cur-
tains the sun had faded to -a dull and
negative tone. - A three-legged . table
as he touched it fell with a guilty.

have been for the sixtletime—a china

from the window, when his eye fell

on that peat inthe garden at Strad -

Imany said, the 'heshloohing ot the
whole of..that family. It ,was in the
.natere of a perqUisite, due to her age,
that all such visitors were assumed,
at least:lentil proved to the contrarY,
to have' cattle to the house in her in-
terest.
' It had, been necessary while up-
stairs, acrubbing their hair -with tow-
els .during-fliat'huarter of an hoar, to
'remind Josephine of this., •
"Ye can come downstairissinhalf an

and there's no need to be dresein'
yeerself up. Antret I gain° down 'to
him- in this old jacket of a thing, with
the hair half done tin me and I look -
in' a fright -the -world. Ye can put on
the green linen thing ye have."
With these injhnctions, Sophie had
left her, having taken such .precau-
tions 'against invidiCeis comparison as
most ceeher women ' would have done
under the circu-mstances.
As a matter of fact, the pink dress-
ingeacket was no source of envy to
her. One and all of them, those girls
were prepared to be take g as men
found them. She marched into the
drawing -room that afternoon with this
incongruous garment on her back, far
less concerned, about its inappropri-
aeeness. than if she lied been wearing
a. frock in the height of sfaslitme
"I've been..wishing.aneeheir-e--said
she when she saw that .look of aston-

she shook herhair down, over her
shoulders, which is permissible en-
ough when a women has hair to . be
proud of. Hers was beautiful enough
but as he touched it timidly with his
hand, Charles Stuart thought Of the
ectal -blackness of Patricia's, and the
moment left, him unmoved.
In a lively fashicin she entertained

with griddlecakes of. her especial
making, always ordered on.. these
days when hair was Washed and dried

" Mrs. Slattery turned her back—am-
ple concealment for the .a.rnilethat
agreed with increasing breadth across
herface—and walked to the doer:
. "And whereh Miss—Miss Patricia?"
asked Charles.
•
At the door Mrs. Slattery stopped.
There: was dust on the side. of the
piano—indeed; there w -as dust all .ov-
er it—and, lifting her apron, she took
no little trouble in wiping it off.
"That child!" Said. Sophie.
Mrs. Slattery expended the burst of
her anger upon a' spot of grease on.
the surface of the piano and rubbed
it viciously off with her apron,
"Oh, shure, she's playin' about in
the fields. Anything will please that

•, "Next month," said Sophie. "Shure,
she came back from the dance the
other night, she sayin' the world. was
a geese 'place., and the eooner she was
out of it the better."
Much •as she_„would have liked to
bear the' rest of that conversation,
there fell a sound on Mrs, Slattery's
ears that brought her quickly to the
'door and filled the eyes of Sophie
'with a- swift apprebensioe. T.he hall
door had banged heavily in the warm
stillness of that Aprii afternoon, and
there followed the s. sound of heavy
footsteps 'outside. Ina, moment Mrs.
Slattery had gone, the- drawing -room
door had elosed softly behind her, for
a moment there was -a noise of voic-
es, and then all was silent once more.
With a note less confident in her
voice, Sophie swept hurriedly into •the
conversation again, and when a mom-
ent later 'Josephine entered the room,
beckoning to her sister. to come and
speak to .hee, Charles was aware that
something of a troublesome nature
was in the air.
Their sister Margaret smiglit be
orse. It was the first ready sup-
position that came to his mind, arid
he stood looking out of the window
while they talked in whispers by the
door• Whatever it was, nothing ap-
parently was going to be done -about
it then, for Josephine caine forward a
moment later and shook hands with
him as though nothing had happen-
ed, .and they all sat down. again to
the consumption of the griddle -cakes.
But something undoubtedly was to
be for now all the liveliness
had vanisbeel, from the heart of So-
ph'ie's mapner„ and every moment
Josephine rose from her seat, went
to the door and opened it, listening
a while to sounds in the house, and
when apparently satisfied came back
again.
.Charles ventured his fear that Mar-
garet was no '-better, but they both
assured, hint she was so well the doc-
tor had said she Might get up the
nod' day. That evidently was not it
their concern, but it was not long be-
fore he was enlightened, •
There came the sound of those
heavy footsteps again across the hall,
Charles could not fail to see the
glances' of apprehension, flying like
frightened birds in a 'summer storm,

not used to a, and had been trembling

whom he was prepared to accept in
that capacity! •
• "Good -day to ye,". Said he thickly.
"How do you do," said Charles, and
rose uncertainly to his feet.
- The nextemoment Sophie had come
to her father's side and was begging
him to leave the room. It was the
most natural action in the world, but
under the circumstances the worst

definite answer to that: He elosed
the door with a resounding noise and
came down to the table, looking first.
at that uneacustomed sight of tea -
things laid out as daintily •as 'Mrs.
Slattery could' arrange them, and then
at Charles Stuart, as though the one

the second thne that afternoon, clat-
tered -with a fine rattle to the ground,.
This merciful interruption went far
to saving the painful delicacy Of the
situation. Charles hastened to set
the table- on its feet again, knowing
by now the use of the book that sup-
ported it. 'But the two wretched girls
seated there, went hot to their cheeks
with shame. ,John Desmond looked

ed.- ThesBOard deeided inteet the
ehbi 'petehanerttly, and devote the
lecome from it to the payment of
premiums offered for such objects as

tageous by the Board. ' The records
of the Association, through which the

tario,. to be paid into the coesolidatS
