'Gwen wishes to say good night to you, Herr Falek,' said Cecil, leading the little girl up to him; 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 - id. 'Sweep a crossing if necessary.' 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 distance,, you see.'

For the first time for weeks ithiof felt hungry.

'By the way, Cecil,' remarked r Boniface, when presently a help and not a hindrance, for she could in all things trust Cecil, who was the sort of girl who oan be friends with .men without flirting with them.

Why, • you are rigged out quite fresh since I saw you on Monday.' 'The old mole catcher gave a knowing wink, and after a little humming and hawing he said, 'Well, sir, yer see I changed clothes yesterday with a gentleman in the middle of the field.' "`Changed clothes with a gentle- man!' they exclaimed. 'What do you mean?' 'And the mole catcher began to laugh outright, and it leading them to a gap in the hedge, pointed away into the distance. 'There he be, sir; there he be,' he said, laughing till he almost choked. 'It be naught but a scarecrow; but the scarecrows they've kep' me in clothes for many a year." ' 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 Children Cry for th wa fro an Cu tas of an un sh BW th col gr se ow Fr of de has often heard bow good you all m do wore to us in Norway.' be Nhe opened a door on the left of the entrance hall and took him into '41 Pitcher's Castoria.

Will you not try to please him ? Will it not be a pleasure to 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 to her, :and her love had given ,her clear insight. She saw that he was a man whose faith in love, both 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. TO BE CONTINUED. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoriia. $745.00 FOR AN AXE.
