When the well-appointed brougham
stopped before the equally well-equip-
ped villa, Lady Maud stepped out, and,
turning to the coachman, said, in her
low, clear and now very pleasant
voice:, .
"Johnson, how long have you been
In Jew aunt's service?"
"Nearly nine years,my lady," said
the man, touching his hat.
"And in my uncle's. before that?"
"Ten, altogether, my lady; I have
been in the service of the Pacewell
family nearly twenty years."
"It is a long time," said my lady,
thoughtfully. "Twenty years deserve
tonfidence. I have trusted you to-
night, Johnston. You will not betray
me?"
"My lady," burst out the man, ready
to die for this sweet -voiced daughter
of the house he had served so long, "I
have eaten the Pacewell bread too
long to do such, a mean. thing. You
can trust me, any lady, to die for you
or any of the Pacewells, if it could do
them any good."
Lady Maud laid her hand lightly on
his arm -she knew better than to of-
fer him any money -and inclined her
head, saying sweetly:
"Good night, Johnson. I do trust
you. We have been at Mrs. Leigh's?"
' "At Mrs. Leigh's, my lady," assented
the man, and he would have stuck to
uis assertion at the stake.
. "Why, !Mary!" exclaimed the sweet
little voice of Pattie, as Wary and her
father entered the cozy eitting-room;
the latter with a half smile sadly com-
placent upon his face, and holding hie
heed aasuredly half an inch higher.
"Did you come in a cab?"
Mary beet down over the chair and
Ikaiisr.ed the pinched face, and her blush
was hidden by ite -wreath of golden

"No, my dear," said Mr. Montague,
throwing his cloak down and speaking
with an effort at Indifferent calioue-
nese. "We-er-that is, a gentleman
was good enough to place his carriage
at our dieposal."
"Allia' said the woman -child. "Hold

The pirate, with Ms meal meekness,
drew Me chair up to the fire and sigh

"Now," said Pattie, brushing the
golden cloud from her forehead and
looking after Mary, who had glided
from the room. "Now, dear, who's tho
kind gentleman with the carriage to
spare for other people's dispceal?"
"Er-er, I -don't know," confessed
the man -child. "I -Pattie, my darling,

Lake Lop -nor, the 'wandering lake of

north of the desert, and back again,
since the memory of man. The wan-
derings of the lake are a tradition
