Gladys sat moving her chessmen mechanically, feeling as if she were in some dreadful dream. What did it all mean? Why was he going away'? Had he guessed her secreti bad she betrayed herself? No, Ore thought not, for he looked so per- fectly natural, and even tia she fin. ishod her game, he crossed the rooeu and took the vacant chair beside her, asking, in the naost ordinaty way; "Did you finish stoning your peaches I' And then he told her about his talk with Trevsthau, amcl made her describe Jaok to Inni so that in a very little while he4heeks cooled, and her relief would have been al- most happiness, if there had not been the haunting consciousness that this was the last talk she would have with Donovan for a year. Her heart was very heavy. They made her sing, too, which seemed hard; but Admiral Smith was fond of music -she could not refuse. Don- ovan lighted the candles for her, and opened the piano. She turned over her portfolio, but every song seemed to bear some reference to t he subject thatwas tilling her heart. However, • Admiral Smith decided the question for her. • "Now, 'Miss Gladys, let us haVe the 'Flowers of the Forest.' That's the prettiest song ever written, to my mind." She got through it somehow, but. there was more pathos than she visited in the mournful refrain - "The flowers of the foreta wede away I" Donovan never heard that song in after years without a serrement de mut-. As be held the portfolio open for her to put it away, her band touched his for a minute; he felt that it was icy cold, and a sud- den longing to take it in his al- most overmastered hint. The old admiral was disappearing with the doctor into the adjoining room; the boys had gone to bed; Mrs Tremain had just gone into the dining room to ring the first bell for prayers; -these two were quite alone. Why might he not take that poor little cold band into his and tell her the truth -tell her that he loved her with his whole heart'? After all, it was a mere shadow which stood between them! why should he sac- rifice his own happiness and 'hers, because what to her was a convic- tion was to him a vague unceitritn- ly? He loved her so dearly, why must he be so crusl? It was a moment of terrible temptation. But it was Only a moment. With lips firmly pressed together he bent down over her music, turned over the pieces, -and not in the least knowing what he had taken up, said, rather hurriedly: !`Willyou not play something? There will be time for this, I think." She sat down again at the piano, and He moved away to the fire place; owaiting there with his head propped between his hands, and •steeling himself to endure. Quite unknowingly he had given her a, tranecription of "Oh, met in the Lord." He scarcely heard it; but to her the beautiful air brought infinite comfort. When she had ended it she was quite herself again and could speak naturally and composedly, and before many minu- tes the prayer bell rang, and she went away, leaving Donovan alone. That wretched evening ended at length; the last good nights were said, the house settled ,down into quiet. But lights burned long in two of the rooms. In one Done - van with 4 rigid face bent over his dryest medical book, in a vain en- deavor to banish thought; in the other Gladys knelt and prayed. CHAPTER XXVII. 'OOOD-BYE.

If only the drama of life would go on without her! If only she might give up her part -her bald difficult part ! It was no MO wishing, however. She got up and went etraight to the looking glass to see what sort of face she could brieg to that day's work, Somehow her reflection tende her angry --the wide, weatied ey es, with their datk circles, the grave lips, the unueual palenesa of the whole foe. "I will ceetainly not look like this," she determined; and though as a rule she thought scarcely at all of her appearance, this day she took great pains with herself, put on a pink priut dress, which made her look much less ghostly, fastened a rose in her belt, and ran down to breakfast with an air of assumed cheerfubaess little in accordance with heroheavy heart. Donovan was already seated at the table; be was to start in half an hour's time, and the doctor had ar- ranged his rounds so as to drive him first to St. Kerrana station. Thete was nothing the lease unusual in his voice or manner; he talked on steadily about the Isle of Wight, geological books, fossils, all the most ordinary topics. No oue could have guessed in the least that all the time he was bearing the keenest pain, doing the hardest of deeds. It was not easy to speak quite naturally to Gladys, but silence be- tween them would have been so 'narked that he was all the more anxious to overcome the difficulty. "1 am afraid the Euclid will come to a standstill," he eaid, as they stood at the open dour waiting for the carriage. "You are safely over the Pees Asinorum, though, which is some consolation.", He had spoken lightly and with a sroile; his tone jarred a little on Gladys. What did it all mean Did he really care for her If so, why did he speak like that 1" - Her father had answered the re- mark. "She must wait till the next long vacation before she becomes a thor- ough 'bluestocking.What will you attempt then? Conic sections, I suppose." Donovan did [tot answer, but al- lowed himself to be monopolized by Jackie and Neste; and Gladys stood leaning against the door way, sick atireart as she watched their noisy noisy rorap, while the sound of wheels drew nearer, Waif came up to her with low whines of delight and wagging tail. She bent down to pat him with a full hearted re- proach. "What, you, too, Waif! Are you so glad to go ?" Waif comforted her a little, however, in spite of his eagerness to start; happy Waif, who had saved his , master's life who would always be his friend and companion. A few minutes more ancl.,'the end had come. She felt her hand taken in a strong firm grasp, and, looking up, met Donovan s eyes; there was an almost hard look in them which dazzled her, but his voice was plea- sant and natural. "Good bye," he said. "And if you are seeing Treyethan, please tell him that I will do my best to find Jack." "I will," said Gladys, • softly.- "(ood bye." "Dood bye, Mr Dono, dood bye," shouted Neata as the carriage drove away. "Please lift we up, sissy." Gladys took the little girl up in her arms, and Neste threw innumer- able kisses after the departing guest. Donovan kedback,smiled, and waved his ha d, and a turn in the road soon hid the pony oat riage from sight. "I am very sorry he has had to go like this," said Mrs Tremain, re- entering the house. "1 think, Gladys dear, you might give the children their lessons early; I shall be glad of your help at the clothing club this morning.' "Peri' well, mother,"ssaid Gladys, obediently, and she went at once With her two little pupils into the school room, giving all her attention to "Reading without tears." It was not till night that she had time fairly to face her trouble, and when the work of the day was over she was too weary to think. She shut herself into her litle room and threw herself on the bed just as she was, only conscious of relief that at last she might let her face relax, -that at last she might be miserable alone. It was bad enough that Donovan should be gone, that for a *hole year she should not see him but the real sting waa that he •had, gone in teach a strage way. *Could it be that she had miataken 'there friendehip tor love?

He knowing all the misery of such differences as had existed betweet hirritelf and Dot, taking, too, the (larked view of his own future, had felt hitt agnosticism to be an in- surtnountable barrier. But Gladys could not feel this.

It might be a hard life, in sonic ways it must be lonely, but what was that to her ,The mei `e possi- bility of bringing any real joy -joy worthy the name -into Donovan's life, outweighed to her all thought of the suffering involved. All self. suffering, that is. If she had known that at that very minute she was giving him the keenest suffering possible, she could not have borne it. But of this, naturally,she knew nothing; thought in her ignorance that the present pain was almost entirely hers, that in that possible future, the ache of loneliness would be all for her to bear, and in her unsalfishness rejoiced in the thought. Her mind, however, was too healthy to busy herself unduly over the futnre; the piesent was to' be lived in; she turned back resolutely to make "The best of now and here," by which she meant chiefly ceaseless prayers for Donovan, while the daily mund of home life went on unaltered. Her bright face was still the sunshine of the house, for gradually the self-pity, the vain regrets, and the useless puzzling over Donovan's change of manner passed away; in the constant com- munion with the All -Father her love win; being perfected. With Donovan himself matters went more hardly. Ir could not be otherwise. The parting which had tried Gladys had been to him a fearful effort,while the future,which to her was veiled in uncertainty and lightened by hope; was to him one long blank desert of pain. It wes evening by the time he stood on the deck of the little steamer which plied between Lym- ington and Yarmouth, a dismal evening too, in accordance with hia own feelings. A heavy sea fog shut oat the view, a fine chilling rain fell, the passengers grumbled, two tired children wailed piteously, nurses alternately coaxed and scold- ed them. Al: length in the dreary twlight they reached the little port. Donovan reached his portmanteau from the chaos of leggage and slow- ly made his way up the long wood- en pier, to the old fashioned coach, which with its patient horses and good tempered driver stood waiting outside a cheery little inn. The wailing babies were packed away inside. Donovan mounted to the top, where he was presently joined by two or three men, and by a forlorn little girl who could find no room inside; he held his umbrella over her, mid talked to her a little. She looked tired and sad; he had a kind of fellow feeling for her. Presently all being ready, the driv- er cracked his whip and the horses started off at a brisk pace. They were swinging along through nar- row country lanes and under drip- ping trees, till at' length the lights of Freshwater shone out in the dis- tance, and gradually the passengers were set down at their various destinations. Before long Dono- van's turn came. "S -House, air. Here you are," said the coachman. He tucked Waif under his arm, wished the litt e -girl good evening, and clambered down. The door of the villa was wide open, a flood of light streamed out into the dusky garden, revealing old Mr Hayes in the door way. Donovan had. fan- cied himself hopelessly, irrevocably miserable, but he was considerably cheered by the old man's hearty welcome. It was, after all, some- thing to have your band' grasped by an old friend, to be questioned and fussed over, to be taken into a comfortable, brightly lighted room, to sit down to a well spread supper table, and to end the evening with the long foregone luxury of a cigar. Not so romantic perhaps as to pine away in appetite lees melancholy, but more rational and manly. He made the most of his three weeks' visit, and though the green downs of Freshwater alwaye for him had associations of pain and conflict, he yet managed, to get eome enjoy - merit and much bodily and mental good Oft11111 from his stay there. "And have you got your castle in the air Yet?" Mr 'hares would laughingly ask him. His face world sadden a little, but he wouldalwaya answer, laugh, ingly, that eanitary reform was his darling project, or that hia pet bob- by was the temperance cause. CHAPTER XXVIII.

Ream, The fltlth of Septetoher was a cold blowy,clay,; the wind Retuned to take a special pleasure in bowlipe. and whistling about the dismal lodgings whole loonoveo was working. It was evening; the table was covered with bulky volumes, with papers of notes and manuseript books. He had always had the faculty of doing with a will whatever he undertook, and he was so absorbed in his work that he searcely noticed a violeet peal at the door bell. It was not till the howling wind was eddying through the pasaage, and 'the infirm fastening of his sitting room door had succumbed to the blast and burst open, that be became alive to the fact that Stephen Causton was to come up to town that evening, and that this gust of wind probably announced hi a advent. It was a blustering artival alto- gether; the landlady's welcome was almost lost in the general hubbub. Donovan heard a loud and rather rough voice replying: "Well, Mrs Green, how are you? Here, you. boy, put down the prt- manteau." Then came a slow counting out of coin. "Please, siis, it were awful 'eavy," pleaded a shrill voice; "it was fit to break a chap's arm." "Nonsense,", came the loud voice again, "it is not more than three hundred yards from-" "Good evening," interrupted Donovan, suddenly ernering from the sittisg room, ,and finding him- self in the presence of a light hair. ed, bushy whiskered double of Mrs I Caus too. "Oh, good evening," said Stephen holding out his hand, and hastily alancing at his new companion. "I have all sorts of messages for you from Portlikerree." Donovan's hands clinched and unclinched themselves. It was a little okerd to bear messages from PortliWn.ran spoken of in such a careless tone. The little street boy who had carried the portmanteau began to plead again for "another copoer or "Nonsense be off, you ueggar!" was Stephen's lordly reply, and he passed into the sitting room, giving a chagrined exclamation at finding no supper ready for him. Donovan left the landlady to pacify hite,,and' partly from dislike to the tone which his companion had used, partly from his horror of underpaying labor, made the little street boy happy with a sixpence. Then be pushed the front door to with a vigerous slam, and slowly returned to the sitting room. Stephen, feeling that he had a somewhat taciturn companion, talk- ed more than usual, and pleasantly enough. However much he re- sembied his mother in fate, he was singularlyiunlike her in every other way, and Donovan was surprised that Mrs Causton should tolerate such very : free and easy manners, or that any one strictly brought up I should sprinkle his conversation so f plentifully with slang and mild oaths. Was this Dick Tremain's specimen of a 'mother's son?" Sure- ly he must have broken loose from his leading strings! The fact was that Stephen at Porthkerran and Stephen in Lon- don were two very different beings. He did not at first intentionally deceive his mother, but inevitably he had struok out into a line a his own widely different from hers. Too weak to care to set up his principles in open defiance, he lived a sort of double life, taking hi fling when alone, and meekly de- ferring to his mother's opinion when at Porthkerran. The result of this falseness was most unhappy. Donovan scrutinized his compan- ion's face keenly that first evening; but after all, in spite of the narrow forehead, and the eyes which rare- ly looked straight into Other eyes, he took rather a liking to Stephen -was he not a friend of the Tre. mains? the one link which might still exist between them. It was not for some days that he found out the truth about his new companion. He knew that his bringing up had been of the narrow- est, and gaessed from the very first that he had shaken of' the old tra- ditions, and was taking his own way, but it was not all at once that he realized what that way was. One October evening, when the day's lectures were over, and the two had just finished dinner, the conyereation drifted somehow to Porthkerran. It was a Very chilly night; Stephen had insisted on hav- ing a fire, and dragging up att twin hair to the hearth, sat crounhed up like any old man, Donovan, with his feet on the mantle.piece, Ame- rican fashion, listened silently to the continuous flow of talk, not talking great note of it until the name of Tremain fell on his ear. "Johnson's a good enough fellow," Stephen was Raying. "Not per- haps, what Doctor Tremain would approve of; but one cannot be 40 straight-laced as he is." "The &mar straight-laced 1" ex- claimed Donovan. "That's the last word you can apply to him.

The reference to the Tre- main, however, brought too many painful thoughis to his mind to admit of his dwelling on his coin, panion's words. He did not apeak, awl Stephen, thrueting his feet al- most under the grate, continued: "One cannot be a slave to an- other man's opinion; but of course I do try to keep in the doctor's good books, not altogether to please him, either. I suppose you saw a good deal of Gladys, didn't you?" "A good deal," replied Donovan, steadily, but as he spoke he swung down his feet from the mantle piece, and pushing back his chair began to pace up and down the room. "She's an awfully jolly little thing, isn't she?" contiuued Stephen. "And she grown uncomfortably pretty, too." Donovan longed to kick him.- Stepheh talked on in easy uncon- sciousness. "Her coloring's rather too high, certainly, but sh-e'ti a very line -girl. I lost my heart to her years ago, and though of course I've had half a dozen flames since, not one of them was fit to be compared with her. I'd a fortnight at Porthkerran before come up here, you know, and jolly enough it was too. Be. tween ourselves, my mother is quite ready to help me to see plenty of Gladys Tremain. Nothing would please her so well as to have Gladys for a daughter-in-law, and, by Jove! she'd make a stunning gookwife. I don't believe she dislikes we neith- er; she was much more ready to be talked to than dsual. We shouldn't be half badly matched. What do you think?" "Discuss your love affairs wiih any one you please, but not with me,'' said Donovan, reining in his voice with difficulty. "You ought to have found out before now that I am made of cast iron, and chosen your confidant better." TO BE CONTINUED. OF COURSE IT'S A WOYIAN. "The hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rocks the world." The mother, sitting beside and rocking the cradle, often singing her sad lullaby, may be thus shaping, as it were, the destinies of nations. But if diOases, con- sequent on motherhood, , have borne her down, and sapped her life, how mournful will be her song.
