CHAPTER %SSI;.
A totally unlooked-for betlefit falls
to 8fr Maurice liermot. The death
of a long -lost cousin in America
leaves blur heir to ;twelve thousand
pounds—a very nee addition , to a
poor baronet's means. Iia olecides
suddenly that ho will go out to Am-
erica and look after this money,
which Is Invested In property.
Tho Dowager Lally Dermot levell-
ed into hasty family eonclavo, audit
in from her that ' the oaggeetiou
comes that Bir Maurice should run
over to America and secure tins
twelve thousand pounds,
"It will bo a lice trip for you and
tipsy;' elle says—"two months 'alto -
getout. You will be :home for Christ-
mas,"
tlipey looks quickly toward her
husband, with u (lush to her cheeks.
"A ;very good idea, mother," lie le
saying. 1 have often thought of
running over to America, told 1t Is
a good opportunity. ]tow will you like
it, Snriiug't"—turning to hie ode.
Her face weave a doubtful expres-
sion.
"We should take baby, too," she
says, timidly.
"My dear Gipsy, impossible l" cries
the dowager. 'Take it baby to Am-
erica. What an absurd idea. Bend my
grandson over to mo; 1 will take care
of him."
But 4lpsy'e throat swells with keen
disappointment. Leave her baby, who
was so 111 the other day? She could
never do it. And yet the agony of
parting with her husband for the
space Fif two months is almost great-
er than she cite bens
l lel' mother. i ielaw regards her
with her own calfs face unmoved.
"Choose between your husband and
your (Aint," elle cries, goyly, think.
Har of the pleasant addition to her
son's Income, and lemming with the
elated of an accomplished tactician,
how she will pereutule Maurice to
give her a little slice out of the
golden apple.
"Dearest, we couldn't take the
child,' Sir Manrlen says, answering
his wife's wistful gaze. "It would he
very bad for the little fellow, and
my mother will take :every care of
him, 1 know."
"His le guilt a .vtlry tiny, tiny life,"
Gipsy saya. in a iow, troubled voice;
" and nobody could watch Wm as
1 watch him. And then he was mo
ill that night; and you—you are so
strong, dear:" with a sweet upward
look at his dewtdurned ;(ace.
"Which mane," Interposes Sir
Maurice's mother, "that you think
more of the baby than of your hus-
band. Fy. Gipsy!" It le spoken with
a smile, but .the .words are bitter.
Gipsy slips her head into Fir Mamt•-
ine's pabn.
"Maa•x'0 )010WO 11 1e not that,' she
says, with to soft of proud elmpih•-
ity, ",This Is, 1 think, no question

"My wife," he whispers, huskily,
and takes both wile and child in a

One so frequently sees the art

in "fashionable mourning" will be
prepared at a day's notice. There
is perhaps 110 good reason wily
mourning should not be made with
some attention to tie requirements

ono which time can only, soften, not
obliterate, should be models of the
lateet and most extreme fad In rash -
tenable attire. The term "fasLbon-
abiu mourning" curries with it a
sense of unfitness, of ins(neerlty, of
lack of depth of feeling. One can-
not quite imagine that the grief bit
