Hugt tried fo console hor, feeling horribly guilty and helpless. "That won't bo the same. I do love you bo muck Phase don't vanish." "I shall send you things a doll's house for Evie. By the way, you didn't tell me why you named her that." "After Angel, of course," returned the child absentnundedly. "But when you've vanished I" "Is your mother's name Evie ?" "Evelyn. But that's too long for a 'doll." Evelyn what ? You you haven't told me your namS yet.' . "Rosemary Evelyn Clifford." I' "Great heavens !" "How strange your voice sounds 1" said Rosemary, "Are you ill I'' "No no! I feel a little odd; that's aE" V "Oh, it isn't the vanishing coming on already! We're, a long way from our hotel yet." . Hugh drove mechanically, though sty and sea and mountains seemed to be seething together, as if in the convulsions of an earth quake. Her child I And her husband what of him? The little one said he was lost; that he had not been kind. Hugh gritted his teeth to gether and heard only the singing of his blood in his ears. Was the man dead, or had he but disappeared? In any caso she was here, alone in Monte Carlo, with her child, poor, unhappyworking by day, cry ing by night. He must see her at once at once I Yet what if it were not she, after aU,if the name were a coin cidence? There might be other Evelyn Cliffords in the world. It must be that this wa3 another. His Evelyn had married a rich and titled Englishman. She was Lady Clifford. The things that had hap pened to Rosemary's Angel could not have happened to her. Still, he must know, and know quickly. "Where do you live, little Rosemary ?" he asked, grimly schooling his voice, when he felt that he could trust himself to speak. "The Hotel Pensior Beau Soleil, Rue Gira sole, in the Condamine, Monte Carlo," an swered the child, as if she were repeating a lesson she had been taught to rattle off by heart. ' ' I " 1 1 j i Lost as ho was to most external things, Hugh roused himself to some surprise at the name of the hotel. Wny, tnat is wnere .Mile, de iAvaiette ana ner moiner uvei uo exclaimed. "They're the ladies Angel lent the money to because Bne was bo sorry for them," said Rosemary. "I've heard them talking about it with her and saying they can't pay it back. They're angry with her for asking, but shkhad to, you see. .When they; go past us in the fi'm'Tig room they turn their backs." Hugh's attention was arrested now. ."Do they dine," he asked, "every night 1" "Oh. yes always. Mademoiselle has lovely dresses. She is pretty, but the comtesse is such an ugly old lady like Red Riding tjtj- T riiinlr. T'm afraid of her. Jane says her madame and monsieur don't believe she's really a comtesse. I had to knock at her door with a letter from Angel today, for Angel doesn't know I'm afraid. I couldn't help being glad madame wouldn't let me in, for it seemed as if she might eat me up. I knocked and knocked, and when I was going away I saw mademoiselle coming in in a pink 'dress with a rosy hat" "I' think she'll pay your mother bade tomorrow," said Hugh, re membering the fatness of the pink bag. "She didn't Bay she would. She was o cross with me that she called me petit bete and Bnatched the letter out of my hand." At this Hugh's face grew suddenly hot and red, and he muttered something under his breath. But it was not a word which Eosemary, would have understood, even if she had heard.

If you'll come in, I'll go and see if she's in our room." "Don't tell her don't say anything about a fairy father," he stammered. "Oh, no I . That's to be the surprise," Rosemary reassured him as she pattered away. It was deep twilight in the room and rather cold, fox the eucalyp tus and olive logs in the fireplace still awaited the match. Hugh could see the blurred outlines of a few pieces of cneap lurruture a sola, tnree or four chairs, a table and a clumsy writ ing desk. But the window was still a square of pale bluish light, cut out of the violet dusk, and as the young man's eyes accustomed themselves to the dim ness of the room the room did not seem idark. He was not left alone for long, In two or three minutes Eosemary ap peared once more, without her hat and coat, to say that Angel had not yet come back. "But shell soon be here now," went on the child. "Do you mind waiting in the twilight, fairy father! The electric light doesn't coma on till after 5, and I've just heard the-clock downstairs strike 5," "I shall like it," answered Hugh, glad that his face should be hidden by the dusk in these moments of waiting. "Angel tels me stories in the twilight," said Rosemary as she sat down on the sofa by the cold fireplace, and she let him lift her light little body to his knee. "Would you tell me one about when you were lost!" , 'Til try," Hugh said. "Let me think what story shall I tell !" "I won't speak while you're remembering," Rosemary promised, leaning her head confidingly against his shoulder. "I always keep quiet while Angel puts on her thinking cap." Hugh laughed and' was silent But his head was too hot to wear a thinking cap, and no story would come at his half hearted call. Rosemary waited in patience for him to begin. "One, two three," the counted under her breath, for she had learned to count up to fifty, and it was cood practice when one wished to make the time pass. She J A had just come to forty-nine and was wondering if she might remind the fairy father of his duty when the door opened.; -It was Angel, of course. But Angel did not come in. She stopped on the threshold, talking to somebody, or, rather, Bomebody was talking to her. Eose mary could not Bee the person, but she recog nized the voice. It was that of Mile, de La yalotte. "You are-not to write my mother letters and trouble us .about that money, madame," paid the voice, as shrill now as it could be sweet "Once for all, I will not have it I have followed you to tell you this. You will be paid soon that is enough. I am engaged to be married to-a rich man, an American. He will be glad" to pay all our debts by and by, but meantime, madame, you are to let us Rlone." "I have done nothing except to write and . i i .i t-j.i. gay tnat i neeaea tne money, wmcn you promised to return weeks ago, or I couldn't possibly have spared it," protested a voice which Hugh had heard in dreams three nights out of every six in as many years. "Well, if you write any more letters we shall burn them unread, so it is no use to trouble us, and we will pay when we choose." With the last words the other voice died into distance. Mademoi selle had said what she came to say and was retreating with dignity idown the corridor. Now the figure of a slender woman was silhouetted in the door way. Hugh heard a sigh and saw s hand that glimmered white in the 'dusk against the dark paper on the wall as it groped for the button of the eloctrio light Then suddenly the room was filled with a white radiance, and she stood in the midst of it, young and beautiful, the woman he had loved for seven years. Putting Eosemary away, he sprang up, and her eyes, dazzled at Erst by the sudden flood of light, opened wide in startled recognition! wjUgh Hugh Egertonl" she stammered, whispering as one whispers In a dream. She was pale as a lay, but the whiteness of her face was like light, shining from within, and there was a light in her great eyes, tqp, such as had -never shone for Hugh on sea or land, unce, a long uw ago, he had hoped that she .cared or would come to care, but she had chosen another man,, and Hugh had gone away. That had been the end. Yet now what stars hereyes were! One might almost think that she had not fotv gotten; that sometimes she had wished for him; that she was glad to see him now. "Lady Clifford," he stammer ed, will you forgive my being her a-my frightening yon like this!" " ' Tiebrightneaoieaoutofherface.. "Lady Clifford I" she echoed.

"Angel, dearest," said Rosemary, "do tell the fairy; father you're glad to see him." Evelyn started. "Why do you call him that?" ! "Because he said he was a fairy and would have to .vanish soon. But you'll beg him not to, won't you ?" "I I should be sorry to lose him again. We haven't many friends in these days." The bright head was bowed over the child's, as Rosemary clung to heimother's dress. v "You never lost me," said Hugh Egerton. "It was I who lost you. Evie, you don't know what black years these have been. I loved you bo." "But that was long ago." "It was always 1" I "Hugh ! I thought you must have learned to hate me." "Hate you because I couldn't make you care for me as I hoped you would and be cause you cared for some one else ! No ; I" "But I did care for you. It was for my father's soke that that ah, I can't talk of it, Hugh. You know we were so poor after father lost his money I tried with all my heart to forget and to do my best for my husband. Perhaps it was my punishment that he oh, Hugh, I was so miserable 1 And then then he went away. He was fired ef me. He was on a yacht, and there was a great storm I But you must have read in the papers" . 5 "Nevor. I never knew till this day."- '.' . "It was more than three years ago." J Hugh was very pale. Three years ago three long years in which' he had worked and tried not to think of her ! And if he had known ( )rYou see, I've had a queer life knocking about in strange places," he Said, trying to speak calmly. "Often I didn't see any newspapers for weeks together. I thought of you always as rich and happy, living in England, the wife of Sir Edward Clifford" "Rich and happy I" she repeated bitterly. "How little one knows of another's life I After his death there was nothing. There had boon some wild speculations, and the es tates went with the title, of course, to his cousin. But, yes in a way you were right I was rich and happy because I had Eosemary." "And Eosemary had you, An gel)", cried the child, who had been listening, puzzled and bewildered, not knowing that they had forgot ten her presence until this moment. "'Eosemary had you. 'And now we've all got each other till tho fairy father vanishes." 'But I shan't have to vanish after all," said Hugh. ! X After that it seemed they had been together but for a moment when a wild wail went moaning through the houso the first gong for the pensionnoires' dinner. ..fa So loud it was that it hushed their voices for a long minute. Ana when cool silence came again Hugh begged that the two would have their Christmas eve dinner with him at his hotel. "There's so much to plan for tomorrow and all the days," he pleaded. "And just for once Eosemary shall have a late dinner like the grownups. Do say Ra Evelvn said ves.
