'For my part, I would trust my liotle girl to you unreservedly. I will not thank you h , ' for the way in which you have act- ed, but,'—he struggled with his P emotion— 'it has made you very g tear to me, Donovan.

I can hardly realize yet—I h ve hardly tried to think ---tlhat-Oa-kdene is -really mine.— VOW am I ever to turn myself into 'the respectable country gentleman?' Charles Osmond laughed. 'I am not much afraid for you,' -he replied quietly. 'It will be a rnbre difficult life than the hard working surgeon life you bad plan- ned for yourself; but I fancy you can make a great deal of it.' 'It would be hard to face,' said Donovan, 'If I had not a hope that the truest of helpers, the sweetest and best woman in the world, may possibly begin the new life at Oak- dene with me. It is nothing but a hope—to-morrow I shall know; but I could not help telling you of it— you who have helped me through these black years.' tt `I wish you good speed,' said Charles Osmond, convoying some- how in tone ar.d look and touch a great deal mere than the mere words. Then the two parted. CHAPTER XLII. "MY HOPES AND THINE ARE ONE." • O we will walk this world Yoked in all exorcise of noble end, And so through those dark gates across the wild That no man knows. Indeed I love ,thee; come, • Yield ti;yself up! My hopes an thine / are on.e: Accomplish jhou my manhood and 'I will take baok Jackie and Nes- ta then,' said the doctor. 'Donovan will see you safely home, I have no doubt.' Donovan, inwardly blessing the doctor, carried off Nesta to the pony carriage, impatient to have them all out of the way. Was not each minute wasted which did not bring that perfect mutual understanding which he so longed for. She might nor care for him; still they would understand eaoh other, make an end of the miserable silence and doubt of These long years. The pony carriage drove off, the last parol was sung; with courtesies and salutes the small singers ran noisily out of the school. Donovan, whose "duteous service" had so long consisted in silence and absence,now made the most of his opportunity; raked out the fire, tidied the school, turned out the lamps, then with, in spite of himself, a certain sweet sense of possession—possession if' only for these few minutes—he turned to Gladys, who for once seemed a little shy and silent. They went out into the market square, closely followed by Waif. 'It is a house down on the shore I want to go to,' said Gladys, wish- ing her heart would not beat so un- comfortably. But somehow, when Donovan next spoke, there was that in his planner which calmed her. 'I am sorglad to have this walk With yon,' he said. 'It was good of your father to give me this time with you at once. I want, Gladys, to know how I am to come back to Porthkerran this time. The first 1 time I came to you it was as a pen- niless outcast; the second as a friend; the next as one who loved you, but dared not speak. I have come this time ready to speak to you, if you will hear me; to ask if you can give me more than friendship—whether you care to take a love which has always been yaurs. May I go on? Will you hear me?' thyself; She seemed to speak an assent •. Lay tthy o eweet helices in mine and trust but her voice trembled; he took her nee PRINCESS. band in his, made her lean on his arm, still holding the little hand in In spite of the inevitable excite- Ms strong grasp. *pent and anixety, Donovan slept 'You see,' he continued, ever aliiiost the whole way from London , since I was a mere boy you have tot Kerrans; be had large arrears been my ideal. In a very strange of sleep to make up, and the doc- I way I had three passing glimpses of you, the first just after my father died, when I was miserable and dis- graced, then again those two meet ings when I was wronged and re- vengeful. Oh, Gladys! you little know what you did for me --what depths you saved me from. I think I am glad you saw me at my worst; without it I should hardly have dared to speak to you like this.— You know all that I was; you were my friend when others shrunk from me jas an atheist; you have taught me what love is, and now that 7 am beginning to learn something of the everlastingness of love, I want your help more and more. Gladys, will you be my wife ?' 'I think I have always loved you,' she answered, quite simply and quietly. 'And I was always sure the Light would come to you.' 'Yes,' said Donovan, holding her hand more closely, 'you could look at things from another point' of view; you believed . in a higher Power; I, you res, only knew my self, and how could I dare to thin's of you as my wife! My darling, even now I half tremble at the thought. Can you trust yourself to one who is at the beginning of everything? I have spent my life in learning what you have always known. Can you put up with such incompleteness? Can you trust me?' 'After trusting in the darkness it is easy to trust in the light,' said Gladys, softly. 'You did believe in me then, though I tried so hard that you should not,' said Donovan, half smiling. 'You are not a good deceiver or concealer,'replied Gladys. 'That day at Z ---on the staircase when you said you could explain nothing, I could see by your face that you had "Pitcher's Castoria. tor was glad enough to see him settle himself in a corner seat and take the rest he so much needed. By the time they reached St Ker- rans be was quite himself again, quiet rather, and not much inclined to talk, but with an unusual light •in his dark eyes. Star and Ajax • were waiting for them at the sta- tion; they drove through the little Cornish town, with its gray houses, and out into the' narrow winding lanes, which Donovan remembered so well. It seemed almost a life- time since the Sunday evening when he bad first spoken unreserv- edly with Dr Tremain—long years ago since their last drive to St Keh- rans, when he thought he had part- ed with Gladys forever. His heart ' beat high with hope; every step was ' bringing hire nearer the woman he loved; the very trees and hedge- rows seemed to welcome him as he passed; even the cross grained old roan at the turnpike had a friendly •'greeting for Lim. It was dark by the time they reached Porthkerran; the stars were shining brightly through the frosty air, the ponies' feet rang sharply .on the hard road; in all the quaint; irregular houses shone friendly lights; he could see them cliinlaing far up the hill, old Admir- al Smith's house forming the apex. She was here in this home like little fishing village;in a few min- .utes be should see her again, every pulse in him beat at double quick . title as he thought of it. They drove on through the quaint mark- et place, with its stone fountain, *surrounded now with rows of boats drawl up from the beach into win - ,. quarters.

'Look here, Blanche,' exclaimed a gray bearded English man ap- proaohing a pretty little brunette who had a most sweet and winsome expression, and who was standing so near to the camp stool on which Cecil had ensconced herself that the conversation was- quite audible to her.

Ob,• Donovan? how glad she will be!' He pressed •her hand, but did j A Hardy Norsema m not speak, They walked along the n ahem in silence; presently reaching e the little cottage where the sick t woman lived, Gladys went in, and Donovan waited for her outside, f not sorry for a minute's pause in which to realize his happiness. In a little while she joined him again, and for a minute they stood looking out seaward. A faint streak of yellow lingered in the west, but above the stars were shining brightly, while across the dark rolling sea there gleamed from the lighthouse two long tracks of light athwart each other. The same thought came to each of them, the sweet old saying—"via cruris, via lucis." Neither of them spoke, but to each came the longing that their love might always be that self sacrificing love which alone can lead into the light. It seemed to Gladys like a sort of sacrament when Donovan stooped down and with a great reverence pressed bis lips to hers. 'You will teach me,' he said, af- ter a time as- -they—walked along the beach. She felt like a baby beside h im as he spoke; in his humility, in his grand, self denying nobleness, he seemed to tower above Ler. 'Teach you!' she said, smiling, 'I should as soon think of teaching papa. And yet papa always says the little ones do teach him. Per- haps in that way, Donovan—can you be content with that sort of child wife who cannot understand half the great things you think of?' 'Me darling, how can you use such a word?' -he exclaimed. 'Con- tent ! And haye you not been teaching me all these years? ' How little the world knows its true teachers! How little the pure hearted. ones think of the lessons they teach.' 'We will learn together,' , said Gladys, softly. 'There is one thing I should like to tell you now,' said Donovan.— had arranged, you know, to go out to the war, and I find there is still a vacancy in one of the ambu- lances. You will not mind my go- ing out, darling ? I feel in a mea- snre bound to go, and I should like, at any rate, a few months of good stiff work. Some time must pass before the legal matters are settled and the Manor really becomes my own, and I should like to be doing something in the waiting time.— You will not mind my going?' Gladys did of course shrink from the thought, but she knew that in marrying such a elan as Donovan, she must make up her mind to much sacrifice. The delight of even now being able to share his werk helped to lessen the pain. 'I think,' she replied, 'you would not have been Donovan if you bad not wanted to go.' 'And then with you," said Don- ovan, "I shall be strong to begin what I feel fearfully unequal to— the life as master of Oakdene. BY EDNA LYALL. CHAPTER I. 'You say your things are all ready, Cecil? Then I'll just go be- low and do up my Gladstone, and put it in your cabin. We shall be at Bergen before long, they say.' The speaker was a young Eng- lishman of three or four and twenty, and the sister . addressed by him was still in the first flush of girl- hood, having but a few days before celebrated her nineteenth birthday. 'Let me see to your bag, Roy,' she exclaimed. 'It is a shame that you should miss this lovely bit the fjord, and I shall do it in ha the time.' 'The conceit of women!' he ex- claimed with a smile in which brotherly love and the spirit of teasing were about equally blended. No, no, Cis, I'm not going; to let you spoil me. I shall be up again in ten minutes. Have you not made any friends here? is there no one on deck you can talk to?' 'I don't want to talk,' said Cecil. 'Truth to tell, I am longing to get away from all these English people. Very unsociable of me, isn't it?' Roy Boniface turned away with a smile; understanding her feeling well enough, and Cecil, with her back to the chattering tourist throng, let her eyes roam over the shining waters of the fjord to the craggy mountains 'on the farther shore, whose evervarying forms had been delighting -her since the early morning. She herself made a fair picture, though her beauty was not of the order which quickly draws atten- tion. There was nothing very striking in her regular features, fair complexion, and light brown hair; to a casual observer she would have seemed merely an average English girl, gentle, well mannered and nice looking. It was only to those who took pains to study her that her true nature was revealed; only at times that her quiet gray eyes would flash into sudden beauty with the pleasure of meet- ing with some rare and unexpected sympathy; only in some special need that the force of her naturally retiring nature made itself felt as a' great influenee. Cecil had passed a year of eman- cipated girlhood, she had for a whole year been her own mistress, had had time and money at her disposal and no special duties to take the place of her school work. It was the time she had been look- ing forward to all her life, the blissful time of grown up freedom, and now that it had come it had proved a disappointing illusion. Whether the fault was in herself or in her circumstances she did not know; but like so many girls of her age she was looking out on life with There is plentyof work for lbs at puzzled eyes, hardly knowing what it was that had gone amiss, yet Greyshot, and you must help me to love the neighbors, who perhaps may not hate me as much as they did. 1' almost fancy even Mrs Ward may be civil now that I have found a woman brave enough to be my wife. Are you ready, darling, to be the :'ife of a radical —to be looked down on perhaps as the wife of a some time atheist?' `To be your wife,' said Gladys, gently. They had made their way up the steep wihding street, and were in sight of Trenant, the dear old gab- led house with its ivy covered walls and welcoming lights. 'This is the place were first I saw you,' said Donovan, glancing in at the drawing room window. On the very spot on which he now stood with, Gladys he had once stood loneland despairing, watch- ing with bitterness a glimpse of home life. Some thought of the infinite possibilities of the future of the limited view of the present, came to him. the Norwegian agent for our I daresayyour father told you about im. 'Yes, papa said he was one of I the leading merchants out here and I would advise us what to see, and where to go.' 'Quite so. This letter reached me just as I was leaving home, and is to say that Herr Feick has tak- en rooms for us at the same hotel. I can read it all well enough except the names, but'the fellow makes such outrageous flourishes. What do you make of this sentence, be- ginning with "My son Frithiof" ?' 'Uncle! uncle! what shocking pronunciation! You must not put in an English "th." Did you never hear of the Frithiof Saga? You of I must say it quickly like this— if Freet-Yoff.' 'how glorious life is f' he ex- claimed. 'How different from what one used to think it ! Oh, Gladys, if we can but do half we long to do! What a grand old working place the world is!' 'Yon will be a grand worker,' thought Gladys; but she did not reply in direct words. They bad reached the porch; HOMO one had heard their steps, and Children Cry for conscious of a greet want, of a great unrest, of a vag'ae dissatis- faction which would not be reason- ed down. 'Cecil is looking poorly,' had been the home verdict; and the mother, not fully understanding the cause, but with a true instinct as to the remedy, had suggested that the brother and sister should spend a month abroad, grieving to Jose Cecil from the usual family visit to the seaside, but perceiving wit'i a moth- er's wisdom and unselfishness that it was time, as she expressed it, for her young one to try its wings. So the big steamer plied its way up the fjord, bearing Cecil Boniface and her small troubles and perplex- ities to healthy old Norway, to gain there fresh physical strength, and fresh insights into that puzzl- ing thing called life; to make friend- ehips, spite of her avowed unsoci- ebleness, to learn sos tithing more of the beauty of beat ty, the joy of joy, and. the pain of pain. She was no student of human nature; at present with girlish im- patience she turned away from the tourists, frankly avowing her con- viotion that they were a bore. She was willing to let her fancy roam to the fortunes of some imaginary Rolf and Erica living, perhaps, in some one or other of the solitary redroofed cottages to be seen now and then on the mountain side; but the average .English life dis played on the deck did not in the Pitcher's Castoria. 'A most romantic name,' said Mr Morgan. 'Now I see why you have been so industrious over your Norwegian lessons. You mean to oarry on a desperate flirtation with Herr Firthiof, oh! that is quite clear—I shall be on the look out?' Blanche laughed, not at all re- senting the remark, though she bent her pretty face over the letter and pretanted to have great diffi- culty in reading Herr Falok's very excellent English. `Do you want to hear this sent- ence?' she said, 'because if you do 1 will read it" TO BE CONTINUED.
