"Yes, she is fully thirty-five; and

years old."
"Then she has been married," Gwen
said, rather disappointed, "1 was hop-
ing she was a horrid old maid." To be
an old maid was, in Miss Ohudleigh's
estimation of things, the most horrible
of earthly dooms, "And who was In-

take the kiss, then, Miss Mud-

though Ingram is not alive—never exist-
ed, in fact—is but a myth and a name—
another teen is, who was married to
her over fifteen years ago, and never got
a divorce. Don't ask me his name, as
I see you axe going to do, for I cannot
tell you at present; and all this ,for a
little time, at least, must be sub rose.
Mrs. Ingram will never by Lady Chud-

knows that I know her, and She Will

show her my hand she may win the
game yet; for she has the diabolical
cunning of the Evil One himself. Her
name is not Mrs. Ingram, and. she is no
fitting companion for either you or
Miss Trevanion, or any other young girl.
Further than that, I can say nothing at
present. Only wait, and don't take that
strychnine. If you conduct yourself
properly and trust to me, Plantagenet
will make you a member of the haughty
house of Dobbs yet. And as I am due

pulling out his watch, "allow me to bid

friend and drew her toward the house.
"Now, then Sybil, he's gone, and. you.

"Forgot all about whom?"
"Why, Mies Carson, of course. Didn't
I tell you she was worse. She's dying,
Sybil, and Bile's crying out for you. You
were always good. to her, she says. You
gave her books, and pretty dresses, and
Jellies, and wine, and chickens; and you
sat and sung for her the last time you
were there. She can not forget it. Her
mother says she has talked. of you ever
since. She wants to see you again be-
fore she dies."
"Poor child!" the heiress said. "Is she
then so near death?"
'Mr. Jelup was there before I left. Ile
says she will' hardly last until morning.
I promised her' I would fetch you, eird
eanse at once, and. nearly forgot it with
that Mr. McGregor. Nice, isn't he, Sy-

ing on earth to say, I allow, and. not a
thought above the mess -table stories,
the last pet of the ballet, or the fit of
his coat. But then he waltzes
divinely, and his eyes are so
like the stars of heaven ,and I can do
talking enough for both."
Sybil laughed, Old rang for her maid.
They were up in the pretty dressing -
room, all silver and azure satin and de-
lightful little cabinet pictures.
"Hurry, now, Finette," Miss Chud-
leigh said. "Dress your mistress in a
brae of shakes! There's a storm coming
and if you don't make especial haste,
we'll get a drenching, as sure as a gun."
A storm was brooding. MiSK, Chud-
leigh hed lived too many years on the
Susecx coast not to know the signs.
A du:11, stirless calm brooded; the
leaden sky lay on the tree -tops; the
dull cannonading of the surf on the
shoe, miles off, sounded audibly in the
dry heat.
Miss Trevanion hastily exchanged her
house -dress for a black riding -habit, in
which the tall, supple figure looked ex-
quisitely. Her horse was saddled and
waiting, end she and Gwendoline mount-
ed, and cantered briskly down the ave.

Gwendoline had strong hopes of a speedy

is, don't care to aieet Mrs. Ingram."

out blindingly as. they reached its and
the thunder crashed tremendously over-

into the portieo, with uplifted skirts;
"didn't I tell you, Sybil, the avenging

eoup and fish will be colder than char-
.
A groom led off the horses,
and. Miss Chudleigh led off Miss
Trevanion, perforce, to her own
dressing -room. Miss
Chudleigh's
maid—a buxom little English damsel,
with cheeks aa peony -hued as her mis-
tress', and in figure very much, the same
Dutch build—assisted the young ladies
over their rapid toilets. Sybil's plain
black silk, with its crape trimmings, was
speedily donned; and a cluster of white
rosebuds, which Gwen fastened in her
hair, her sole ornament. For Ales Mud-
leigh herself, he Was resplendent in sky-
blue silk, with a pearl band elasping
back the curly, red -brown hair, and
pearls dangling from her pink ears and
encircling her plump throat. .As to her
chubby hands, they at all times blazed
like two suns with costly jewels.
"I know the soup will be cold!" she
said, plaintively, as they. descended, "and
the salmon cutlets spoiled! What an
an eternity it is sinee you dined at Chud-
high before, Miss Trevanion!"
She opened the drawing -door and en-
tered. with her friend. There was Sir
Rupert, very imposing in evening dress;
there was Mrs. Ingrain, in anther tissue
and opals, beautiftil and resplendent, and
there were. Messrs'. Macgregor and Tre-
vanion, and Colonel Gaunt, C. B., of the
Rifle Brigade.
"My dear Miss Trevanioni." Sir Rupert
exclaimed, rising to greet his gueet;
"this is an unexpected pleasure. 1 began
-
to think you had altogether forgotten
ne. Allow me to -present my friend,
Colonel Gaunt, of the —th Rifles. My
other guests," with a laugh, "I believe
you are Already acquainted with. Hill-
man," to the butler, "seats and fresh
covers. You bring your friend unfor-
tunately late, Gwendoline."
"Couldn't help it, papa. We've been
playing the part of guardian engels this
afternoon, , Hillman, this soup is like
lemonade. Fetch us sonie hot.
Mrs. Ingram smiled her brightest, and
-bowed, her gracefulest across the table.
Miss Trevanion returned it frigidly. Her
cousin she did not notice at all. But, as
that gentleman lied not uttered five
words since dinner began, nobody ob-
served his silence now,
"Were you caught in the storm, dear
Trevanion?" the widow asked,
sweetly. "You must IlftV0 been, if you
only came from the Park now. What
terrible lightning, and I am so afraid
of lightning!" with a charming shudder,
that brought the white shoulders into
play. "And how is dear Lady Lemox?"
and Colonel Gaunt stared in amaze; Cyril
answered, very coldly, and not lifting
her eyes from her plate. But the -bright
little widow was not to be daunted.
"She promised to come and *lee ine,
but she has feygotten, I fear, Good
heavens! what fearful lightning—wha.t
an awful storm. Dear Miss Trevanion,
how strong-minded you must be to ven-
ture forth in such a tempest."
"A Trevanion never knows fear, eh,
Sybil?" Sir Rupert 8aid. "'Forth and
Fear Not!' is the motto of the house,
Mrs. Ingram. i1he Trevanions have been
,heroes and warriors since the days of
the Conquest". '
Gwendoline looked suddenly up from
her salmon cutlets at Cyril Trevailion,
then at Macgregor. The episode of .,the
bull -fight and the hero's retreat rose
vividly before her. As she Met liSlaegre-
gor's mischievous dark eyes, she broke
out into a fit of inextinguishable laugh-
ter that made the room ring. Sir Rapert
and Colonel Gaunt stare in arria,ze; Cyril
Trevanion turned dark red, then livid;
and Macgregor and Sybil smiled in-
voluntarily.
"Gwendolinel" her father cried in a
voice of awful reproof, "what does
this mean?"
"Nothing, papa," Miss Chudleigh re-
sponded, choking between laughter mid
salmon. "1 beg your pardon -1 beg
everybody's pardon; but—'
Here, overcome for the eecoad time,
Gweti had it relapse more violent than
her first attack,
"Miss Chudleigh," said Sir Rupert,
'sternly, "1 811211 order you from the
room. What is the meaning of this un-
timely mirth?"
"Miss Chudleigh is subject to these
attaeks," interposed Maegregor, his dark
eyes laughing wickedly. 'Pray don't
mind her. I've known her to explode,
upon the smallest prevoeittion, in it more
alarming manner even than this. Just
allow her to laugh unnoticed, end she
will( come around all right presently.,"
The explanation, end her father's face
of perplexity and disgust very nearly
overcame Gwen for the third time. But

it superhuman effort; that left her
gasping and crimson in the face she re-

Witness Oak Honorably Pensioned.
A gigantic oak tree that has stood for
three centuries at Grimes avenue and

until it dies of old age.
Serving first as the Government's of-

women are also credited with having
done some good and necessary work on
done some good and necessary work in
Loa Angeles a short time ago. Incidents
like these will do more to advance the
cauee or ivotneree suffrage than the hys-
terical outbursts of the British suffra-
gettes'. The chief arguments against
woman suffrage are that women do not
want it, and they would not make a good
use of it if they had it. It is for women
themselves to show that these arguments
aee worthless: but they will not do this
by smashing windows and indulging in

EARLY TO BED.
Some children wonder why it is that
they must always be sent to bed so
much earlier than grown folks and
naany of them make all kinds of ex-
cuees to stay up it little later.
Sleep is nature's provision to enable
the body and brain to rest and grow,
and most of the growing is done by
children while they sleep, so that if
they do not go to bed early and get
plenty of sleep they must loee some
of their growth, both bodily and men-
tally.
In the old days some parents were
very careless about their ehildren's
sleep, but people understand euch things
better now, and parents know that if
they want their boys and girls to be
tall and straight and bright they must
give them plenty of sleep,
