'Gwen wishes to say good night

and the bitter look died out of
Frithiof's face for a minute as he
stooped to kiss the ba'oy mouth
that was •temptingly offered to him.
'It will be hard if in all London
we cannot find you something,'
said Mr Boniface. 'What sort of
work do you want?'
'I would do anything,' said Frith -

They all laughed.
'Many people say that vaguely,'
said Mr Boniface. 'But when one
comes to practical details they
draw back. The mud and the
broom look all very well in the

bell was rung in the hall—'Let us

"`Changed clothes with a gentle-

'And the mole catcher began to

'There he be, sir; there he be,' he
said, laughing till he almost choked.
'It be naught but a scarecrow; but

Frithiof broke o'lt into a ringing
boyish laugh; it was the first time
he had laughed for weeks. Cecil
guessed as much, and blessed Signor
Donati for having been the cause;
but, as she remembered what the
young Norwegian had been only a
few months before, she could not
help feeling sad—could not help
wondering that sorrow thonld have
changed him so terribly. Had
Blanche Morgan been faithful to
him she wondered. Or had his
change of fortune put an end to the
affair bet ween them? In any case he
must greatly resent the way in
which his father had been treated
by the English firm, and that alone
must make matters very difficult
for the two lovers.
Musing over it all she became
silent and abstracted, and on. re-
turning to the drawingroom took
up a newspaper, glancing aimlessly
down the columns, and wondering
what her father and Roy would
advise Frithiof to do, and how the
discussion in the study was pros-
pering.
All at once her heart began to
beat wildly, for she had caught
sight of three lines which threw a
startling light on Frithiof's changed
manner, three lines which also re-
vealed to Ler the innermost recess-
es of her own heart.
'The marriage arranged between
Lord Romiaux and Miss Blanche
Morgan, only daughter of Austin
Morgan, Esq , will take place on
the 30th inst, at ('hrist Ohnrch,
Lancaster Gate.'
She was half frightened at the
sudden rage which took possession
of her -at the bitterness of the in-
dignation whirl, burned in her

a voice in her heart. " Are you
quite free from what you blame in
Blanche Morgan ? Will you not be
tempted to hope that be may like
you ? Will you not try to please

you if he cares for your eiagrng 1"
" All that is quite true, " she
admitted, " I do try to please him;
I can't help it; but oh God 1 let inc
die rather than do him harm !
Her quiet life with the vague feel-
ing that sumething wanting in it
had indeed been changed by the
Norwegian holiday. Now, for the
first time, she realized that her un•
eventful girlhood was over ; she had
become a woman, and womanlike,
bravely accepted the pain which love
had brought into her life, and looked
sadly, perhaps, yet unshrinkingly in-
to the future,wbere it was little like-
ly that anything but grief and anx-
iety awaited her. For she loved a
man who was absolutely indifferent

human and divine, had been crush.
ed out of him by a great wrong; a
man whose whole nature had de-
teriorated and would continue to
deteriorate, unless some unforeseen
thing should interfere to change his
whole view of life.
But the scalding tears which rose
to her eyes were not tears of self
pity; they were tears of sorrow for
Frithiof, of disappointment about
his ruined life, of a sad humility as
she thought to herself. 'Oh! if only
I were fit to help his,! If only!`
Meanwhile in the study a very
matter of fact con%ersation was be-
ing held.
