'What child is the great hope
and for whom?' said Charles Os
mond, coming into the room wit
a peculiarly soft, slow step. 'Dol
actually hear you, Donovan, dis
cussing such things as men and
children? I thought you were up
to the eyes in work for the exam.?
Donovan told his story.
'You see,' he added at the close,
'from any school or home she would
never be allowed to come and go t)
the hospital.'
'What's the child's name?'
'Gladys.' Then as Brian looked
greatly surprised and Charles Os-
mond made au exclamation, he
continued-`Trevethan comes from
Porth!(:erran, and Miss Tremain is
worshipped down there; she is the
tutelary saint of the place -and he
tiled his child after her.'
4We11, I think Gladys had better
come to this home,' said Charles
Osmond. 'What do you say,
mother -will Mrs Maloney -;matte
the kitchen too hot to hold her?'
'Oh, uo; she is much too good
natured,'
'But you don't realize, I am
afraid,' said Donovan. 'She is the
most neglected looking little thing,
altogether dirty and unkempt, and
too young to be of any use to you.'
'She must be an odd child if we
do not find her of use,' said Charles
Osmond, with a sty .nge smile in
h;s oyes. 'Why, I thought, Dono-
van, you were one who believed in
the influence of children.'
'For those who want it, yes' said
Donovan. 'But-'
'But -we do not want it, and are
to be left to ourselves -is that it?'
-- - -. CSbo-is scarcelyfrt-t'o�o-nTeli r`e,'
said Donovan; 'she is ragged and
dirty to a degree.' .
'Oh, you soul of cleanliness,' said
Charles Osmond, laughing. 'Is
there not water in the land of
Bloothsbury?--oan we not scrub
. this blackamoor white? And as to
raggedness, it will be odd if with
four . women in the house -all of
them longing to be Dorcases-we
cannot clothe one poor little elf. -
Can you get your roan admitted to
St. Thomas's?'
'I think so.'
• 'Very well, then; as soon as Ile is
. —Moved we will be ready to have the
little girl.'
Donovan went house with the
words ringing in bis ears, 'A stranger
and ye took Me in.' And instinct- i
ively his thoughts travelled beiclfto
a certain summer day years ago,
when, with muddy, trayel-stained
clothes, he too had been taken into
t1 ]tome, ill and penniless and utter-
ly ignorant of that strange love
which had Leen revealed to him.—
Ile feared it was against the rules 1
of politi:;al economy, and quite'
against all worldly wisdom; but, I I
however that alight be, such living
Christianity had a strange power of f
touching his heart, 1
It seemed to tend' Trev'ethan's I
heart, too; evidently kindness to the 1
child was the way to get hold of 1
him. For attention to himself he f
wIs not, particularly grateful; grum-
bled at the prospect of losing his
pipe at the hospital, swore fearfully y
if, iia' helping hint to move, Donovan t
caused him aty pain, and wrs so t
su'ly and offhand in manner that, t
hl'd his t,ttendant been a believer in
olt, ;s atel caste, ho could hardly D
have borne it patiently. t
Every evening far the next week w
he went to that dismal room in 0
Westin inater; it was thankless work, 1
and yet Trevothan was very fond of 8
bit, and would hardly have draggeu
ave, trough the wretched days wi�'a)out b
tl~.e ,hope of those nightly v;_51ta. He S
• ,s far too sullen and ".iiserable and
ash2.m ed to let this -appear, however, y
and made it SP',;m father a favor to
admit 11is !, i1itor. At the end of 1
the WW -.AS ho was able to be moved '
to tet• Thomas's, and on the after- r
noon of the same day Donovan took 1
little Gladys to the Osmondc. i
When he got back to his roosts s
he found, to his great surprise, that,
instead of old Rouge's well known
figure sitting over the fire, there was
a lady in the arm cbair,well dressed,
(suite at her ease, apparently en-
grossed in a newspaper. He made
a sort of inarticulate exclamation,
upon which she turne(; round.
It was Adele.
'My dear Augustus Caesar; how
delightful to sen you again!' silo
exclaimed, holding out both her
hands. " Were you very much as-
tonished to e e an unknown female
in possession of your fireside?'
'How go„tl of you to come and
1 ok'D(e lie!' said Donovan, really

p
first of hit Iarnily whom he had
met for \ t • . pital.'
h
I : 'There, I was right then. You
_ I havo actually renounced it all and
become a philanthropist. To tell
you the truth, the immediate cause
, of ruy visit was this: I happened to
be in the Underground this after-
noon, and imagine my feelings
when, on the platform at Gower
street, I caught sight of my arisan-
thropical cousin, pioneering a little
city arab through the crowd. My
curiosity was so iutense that I was
really obliged to come and solve
the proulem at one'. Besides, it wra
tantalizing to see you so near, and
to have my frantic signals disre-
garded. You are immensely alter-
ed, Donovan; I almost wonder now
that I knew you.'
She Looked at him aft futilely
for a minute, as if trying to find
out in what the great chenge con-
sisted.
'It is long siuce we met,' said
Donovan; �1 should think it rather
odd if I were not changed.'
'You have had a hard life, I am
afraid,' said Adele. 'You know, Lf
course, how vexed I am about El-
lis's conduct; he ought to have made
you a proper allowance. I said all
I could to him,, but that brother of
mine is terribly like a mule,; when
once he has made up his mind to
dislike a person, nothing will change
his opinion.'
'We won't discuss him,' said
Donovan, afraid that inadvertently
he might reveal to Adele the real
depth of her brother's treachery.

but he makes it unbearably uncom-
fortable for me. .I ought not to say
it to you, 1 suppose, but I must
confess that that marriage seems to
me to have been a fearful mistake.
Ellis is not half as jolly as in bis
poor bachelor days; he has all that
'heart can wish or money buy, and
yet every time I go to stay with
them he seems to me more depressed
and irritable anti dissatisfied with
things.'
'Does he manage the estate well?'
'Uh, he leaves it all to the bailiff.

'We are very prosaic here,' said
onovan, smiling; 'nothing, I foar,

'You dreadful boy, what made

`Take care how you speak of my
reofessiou, said Donovan, laughing.
I will prescribe the most horrible
emedies for your ennui if you are
lot respectful. I chose it because
t is to my mind the only really
atisfactory profession.'
'If you bad any interest ih the
medical world, and were likely to
get a good •West End pracl'ce; but
otherwise, just think of the sort of
people it will throw you among.
You will have to go among poverty
and dirt, and everything,that is dis-
agreeable. Besides, you will lose
caste.'
'You forget that I do not believe
I havo any to lose,' said Donovan,
smiling. 'You should turn repub-
lican, it saves so many small an-
noyances.'
'What were you doing this after-
noon with that beggar child?'
'Taking her to some friends of
mine who have promised to house

gland tour; but ss to getting a day

Donovan,
an, a good deal amused
by this characteristic apt,cb,
brought a footstool for his cousin,
poked the fire, rang the bell for tea,
and finally settled himself on the
opposite side of the fireplace.
'We will be comfortable, and you
shall talk just as you did in the
old times,' he said. 'I dec'a a it

you were a more eligible subject
than that little beggar girl -more

'Much you know about it !' said
Donovan, with a sad smile, and
again Adele realized that the tive
yeara.,which had passed so unevent-
fully with her had brought to her
cousin a knowledge both of evil
and good quite beyond her under-
standing.
'I tried my misanthropical creed
for some time,' he continued, after
a minute's pause, 'and found it a
dead failure. And then I h' : the
good fortune to come across souse
people who lived exactly on the
opposite system.'
'From extreme to extreme, of
course,' added Adele; 'that is
always the way. I suppose you
have become a Wesleyan or a
M ethodist.'
He could not help smiliog a littl
at her tone, and at her fashionabl
horror of Dissent, but his gray
answer brought back to her th
remembrance that even . in the o1
days be never r )rid endure to bay
matters of religious belief or un
belief lightly touched upon.
'I do not rse my way to Christianity at all as yet.'
'And you don't go to church?
s'tid Adele, regretfully. It had al-
ways been the one great thing eh
had urged upon him.
'Not quite in the way you would
approve of,' replied Donovan, smil
ing; but I do go in fot the sermon
now and then at my friend's church.
I am afraid you would think his
teaching of the "extravagant and
romantic” order. He has a habit
of.btinging Christianity to bear on
everyday life in rather a difficult
and inconvenient way.'
Adele looked thoughtful.corms,''He is right, of corms,' she said,
sadly; 'but I do not think people
k -low how hard it is when one is a
good deal in society. I cannot
adopt beggar children or teach in
Sunday School; it ifs not . in my
line,'
She spoke so much more serious-
ly than usual that- D eseve l;, heart
went out to her.
'1 sometimes think,' he said, 'that
in its way Dot's life was about the
most perfect one can fancy. It
seemed such a matter of course that
she should be the patient, loving
little thing she was, that at the
time it did • not strike one. But
just think of it now; with every-
thing td make her selfish, she was
always the first to think of other
people; with scarcely a day of her
life free from pain, she was always
the one bit of sunshine in the house.
And yet she was as unconacious of
it as if she had been a baby. De-
pend upon it; it is not the teaching
in Sunday schools or the adopting
of children that snakes the differ-
ence, the spirit of love can be
brought into any kind of life.—
What had Dot to do with phitan
throl)y and good works? Yet if it
had not been for that little child's
life, I should have been a clown) ight
fiend long ago. 1 don't believe you
women know how 11111011 yocan do
for us, not by your district visitings
and conventionalities, hat by just
being the pure beings you were
meant to be,'
Adele was silent. She knew she
had talked a great deal of nonsense
in her life, had flirted with innu-
merable men, had flattered dozens
of foolish young fellows who in her
heart she had all the time despised.
She felt tl my enough that her in-
fluence must have all gone in the
wrong scale, and that, while mean-
ing harmlessly . to amuso herself,
she bad all the time been lowering
the standard of womanhood of which.
Donovan seemed to think so much.
'And yet you know,' she said
piteously, 'if you subtracted the,
vein of fun and banter and chaff
from me there would bo nothing left
but a dull old spinster beginning to
turn gray, whom you would all
wish to get rid of: I am like poor
little Miss Voucher—volatile I was
born; and volatile I shall die.'
'We can ill afford to lose any of
the real fun in the world,' said Do-
novan, 'I hope you will not turn
puritanical. I do not think I could I
like a person who had no sense of
humor, so please do not talk of sub-
tracting yours.'
'I suppose the real fun, as you
call it, is good,' said Adele. 'And
the artificial nonsense is bad. :\ t
the same time it is hard to get up
anything but forced fun when life is
a long bit of ennui.'
'But you have the secret of mak-
ing life something very different,'
said Donovan.
'I believe you envy me,!' said
Adele; 'but, oh, my dear Donolinn,
it is quite possible to have pre ICI ip-
tions, and medicine, and a doctor
within reach, and yet to be very ill
and miserable.'
'It seems then that we are both
in a bad way,' said Donova,,, smil-
ing. -k

Late in the afternoon of a sunny
August day two pedestrians might
have been seen skirting the shore
of one of the beautiful little lakes
which lie cradled in the arms of
e the grand old monarch of Welsh
mountains, The elder, gray beard-
ed and somewhat bent, had yet an
eir of alertness, a certain elasticity
of step which bespoke buoyant
temperament; the younger, lacking
entirely this touch of triumph,
walked firmly and sharply, follow-
ing in his companion's wake, and
himself closely followed by a fox
terrier. Very still was the moun-
tain side; for miles round not an•
other living creature was in sight.
Above them to the right towered
the most abrupt side of Snowdon,
rugged and wild and grim looking,
its chaos of gray rocks relieved here
and there by tufts of coarse moun-
tain grass or clumps of fe. t. To
the left, in striking contrast, lay
the little lake, small and insigni-
ficant enough to be sea !Tel yown-
by I'ts name, and yet In the beauty
of its situation and in its majesty
of calmness attracting the eye al-
most as much as its stately bearer.
'There is a stiffish climb before
us,' said Charles Osmond, pausing
as he looked up the mountain path.
'What do you say to an hour's rest
here? we could not have a lovelier
place.'
'Very well, and Waif shall have
a swim,' replied Donovan. 'I will
just give him a stone or two. We
have' plenty of time if we are to
see the sunset from the top.'
Whistling to the dog, he ran
down the slope to the lake, while
Waif, in a tremor of delighted ex-
citement, plunged into the cool
water after the sticks and stones
which his master threw. Charles
Osotci,d, stretched out on the
grans, with one of the gray bowl-
ders 1)v v:ay of a pillow, watched
the two thoughttli!Ir-- the spirited
swimming of the fox terrier, tilts
fine, strongly made figulo of the
man hurling stones into the lake
with a rigor and directness and
force which --albeit there was no
mark—bespoke hire a good marks-
man. After a time he made his
way again up the slope, and threw
himself down at full length beside
his companion with a sigh of com-
fot fable content.
'You old Italian!' 'said Charles
Osmond, with a laugh, `what a
way you have of throwing yourself
in an instant into exactly the most
comfortable position. Now a true
born Britisher fidgets, and wriggles
and grumbles, and in the end does
not look as if le'd found the right.
place.'
'One of t'te bequests of my great -
great -grandmother,' said Donovan.
'By nature I do go straight out on
the hearth rug when other fellows
would crouch up in an arin chair.'
'Oh ! it is four generations back,
is it : I staked reputation as an
observer that you bad a bit of the
Italian in you the very :first time
we met, though Brian scouted the
idea,'
'lt comes ort in that and in the
way 1 owned to you before,' said I
Donovan, 'the endlessness of the
feud when once begun. We have
some blood thirsty proverbs as to
enemies in Italy.'
`l shouldn't havo thought you
revengeful by nature.'
'lc smoulders and does not often
show itself in flame,' said Donovan,
'1 am afraid there have often been
times when 1 could have done some-
thing desperate to Ellis Farrant, if
I'd had a chance. Even now, pro-
fessing to go by very different rules,
[ believe if I saw him fall into that
lake the fiend of revenge in mo
would try hard to hold me on the
shore. Good folk may shudder,
but that is the plain unvarnished
truth. I have shocked even you,

vTo,' said Chcoarles Osmond slow-
ly, 'you've only surprised me a little.

that there is, water in the place,'
'No; but ° it is a proof that the
natural place for man is not in the
said desert, and that the water he
longs for does exist, that it is his
natural means of life, and that with-
out it he will certainly die.'
'It is not much good to talk by
metaphors,' said Donovan, 'and,
since we have broken the ice, I
should very ntuoh like to ask you
one or two questions in plainest
English. It is all very well to
speak of need and thirst and the
rest of it, but there are gigantic
difficulties in the way. I should
very much like to know, for in-
stance, how you get over the evolu-
tion theory-'
'You speak as if it were a wall,'
said Charles Osmond, laughing a
little. 'I never thought of "getting
over it." To my mind it is one of
the most beautiful of the "ladders
set up to heaven from earth," and
if folks hadn't been scared by the
conglomeration of narrow-minded
fearfulneas and atheistical cock-
crowings, the probabilities are that
more would have seen the real
beauty and grandeur of the idea-'
'I noticed Haeckel's "Creation"
and "Evolution of Man" on your
book -shelves the very first night I
came to you,' said Donovan; 'and I
have always wondered bow you did
get over it.'
`There you are again, making my
ladder• a wall' said Charles Osmond,
with a little twinkle in his deep,
bright eyes.
'Well, it is a wall to me,' Laid
Donovan. 'Ha\:ng all come into
existence so exec )(Jingly well with-
out a God-'
'And' interrupted Charles Os-
mond, 'finding it so hard to live
without Him, -being so conscious of
a grave deficiency in our nature,
which yet nature does not give us
.the--reseans, to -supply:- In honesty;=
you must. remember that you have
previously admitted that.'
'Yes; but surely you see the dif-
ficulty,' said Donoyan, with a touch
of impatience in his tone.
'I do,' said Charles Osmond,
gravely, 'that is I think I see where
your difficulty is. For myself, as I
told you, the theory of evolution
seems to be in absolute harmony with
all I know or can conceive of God.
I accept it fully as His plan fo: the
world, or rather, perhaps I should
say, as an imperfect glimpse of the
beauty of His plan—the best and
clearest that present science- can
