CHAPTER L
-A. EROKF.JT TEACTTP.
Simla House, like many another resi
dence with a hih-soundinsr name, had
'nothing' whatever to do with the place
from which that name was derived. It
was merely a creeper -grown cottag-e,
with a hay-window on either side of
the door, standing hack from the main
street of the villag-e of Mars ton. in c
larie and untidy g-arden. The "Simla"
Bisrnifled that its occupant, Major
Kennedy, had seen service in India;
the "House" indicated that his ideas
and ambitions were much in advance
of his very limited income.
To Lucas Henderson, however, Simla
House ' was a palace, and the tiny
dra winr-room, with its pictures, and
iDdian curiosities, and jars of sweet
6mellin? flowers, was the throne-room
of the pinces the qivren of his heart,
Grace Ken no-.! v.- Lucas was employed
in some rotiorv works. lie was a
desicner v.i pottery painter, and
thouo-h nnir a strar'.in? and poorly
paid arust. .was as fall of ambition as
Major Kennedy himself, and lived in a
dreamland of enthusiasm and high
hopes. There' was this difference be
tween the two: that while Lucas tried
hard V.y patient labor and self-denial to
work towards his poaU the Major's more
brilliant imagination enable him to
consider himself already the possessor of
thehandsome in come that was presently
to te derived from his yet unlaunched
enterprises.- The Major's way of look
ing at things was unknown to Lucas.
He took it for granted that Simla
House was the abode of wealth and
prosperity, ard that Grace was a young
lady bred in the lap of luxury, to
Tvhom he could not venture to offe a
home for manv a Ion? day. He did not
puess how difficult Grace often found
it to meet the butcher's bill, or that
the artistic? grey gown, which seemed
specially designed to set off - her fair
face and red-gold hair, was made by
her own clever fingers out of a rem
nant that cost sixpence-halfpenny a
yard.
The-Majorhad come across Lucas as
the yonnsr man was painting in one of
the pretty bye-lanes of Marston. and,
delighted to meet with an intelligent
stranger, at once invited-him to Simla
House.
"lam not an arjist 07 profession,"
Lucas thought it only honest to ex
plain; "I am only a designer at Park
man's Tottery. Works, doing what I can
with canvas and brushes during my
holidavs."
The Major waved his hand airily.
"An artist," he said, "is an artist, in
whatever condition of life he may
chance to be; and you, Mr. Henderson,
are, I perceive, a true, follower of art
I am not wholly ignorant of 'art my
self; indeed, I have been considered a
pood judge. I shall be pleased and
proud" this with a certain patroniz
ing humility "to offer you such hos
pitality as my little place can afford.
Come and" have a cup of tea with us
to-night, if no other friends claim
you."
"I have no friends at Marston," said
Lucas, and he packed up his palette
and brushes, and' went with Major
Kennedy.
Grace poured out the tea. She ad
mired his sketches with a genuine ad
miration, made the more delightful to
the young artist by the loveliness of
the smiling face and the brightness of
the long-lashed brown eyes. And she
sang to him in a sweet soft voice. The
acquaintance her father made in Mars
ton and he was a most hospitable soul
were not, as a rale, interesting or
agreeable to Grace. Sometimes they
were artisans from the neighboring
town, from whom the Major was sure
that he would get the very informa
tion he needed for the perfecting of
the great invention Jie had in his mind
at that particular titn Sometimes
- they were speculators, who discovered
the Major's weak point. aniV flattered
him to the top of his bent, in the hope
that his money would be invested in
their own brilliant undertakings.
The latter class was more obnoxious'
to Grace than the former, for she knew
very well that her father was not so
prudent and clear-sighted as he thought
himself; and one member of it was at
present haunting Simla House. She
1 was glad of Mr. Henderson's visit to
divert the Major's mind. Perhaps she
was glad of it for other reasons, but
she did not confess to those cuite so
readily. Still, an artist was different
from - the common run of men, and
Lucas Henderson? was a gentleman, in
Bpite of his undisguised poverty.
One afternoon Henderson' and Mr.
Kyan both came to tea at Simla House.
- the one by invitation, the other with
out' any. Mr. Ryan was a sharp-eyed,
business-like man, with fluent and
sometimes un grammatical speech.
Lucas soon noted one pecularity in
him; his quick eyes were always fixed
on an averted face, and hastily glanced
aside when anyone looked straight at
him.
"I wonder what in the world he is
doing here?" Lucas said to himself
suspiciously. He distrusted the man
instinctively. -Then he caught Ryan's
gaze on Miss Kennedy's pretty profile,
and was inclined to think him some
moneyed parvenu, in search of a well
born bride whom his wealth might
buy. The thought need not surely
, have concerned him, seeing that he
was a stranger to the family; but, as a
matter of fact, it filled him with wrath
and indignation.
Grace quickly discerned the young
man's aversion to his fellow-guest, and
he liked him the better for it A mu
tual dislike ripens a friendship mar
velously, especially when it can be ex
pressed only by rapid glances. Mr.
yaa had little respect for art,

therefore, take much notice of the
young man. but conversed chiefly with
the Major, leaving Lucas to talk to
Grace.
During tea, however, it chanced that
in handing a cup ' to Miss " Kennedy,
Eyau dropped the dainty bit of china,
and it fell on the floor and was broken.
He apologized for his awkwardness
with clumsy profuseness.
"These little accidents will happen,"
said the Major lightly, "until I have
completed my invention for making
unbreakable china, That will prevent
a great deal of domestic tribulation."
"Have you invented something of
that kind?" asked Lucas eagerly. "I
have been trying experiment after ex
periment for years, but nothing has
come of them yet I am hoping that
some time, perhaps
"Dear me, how very singular! saia ,
the Major. "When you spoke of your ;
work, I wondered whether such a
project had ever entered your mind,
though I did not for a moment suppose
that it had. Yes, that is one of my
schemes one of many for the good of
my fellow-men. I have tried a few ex
periments myself, but they are, I must
own, an expensive amusement and I
am not a Croesus. Don't you find them
expensive, Mr. Henderson?"
"Yes, they are," Henderson admitted,
coloring slightly. "But you see, I
have only myself to think of. and I I
can save in many different ways. If I
should ever be successful, it would re
pay me a hundred times over."
"Now, may I ask, as this is just our
family circle, and nothing will, of
course," go further, what means you
have tried?" said Major Kennedy. "Or
am I too great a stranger to be trusted
with the secret?"
"Oh, there is not much to tell," said
Lucas frankly. "1 have not succeeded
very far as yet" ,
"Tell us how you have worked,
Major," put in Mr. Eyan, watching
Henderson at the same time.
The Major at once began to dilate on
his attempts and achievements. The
talk was not very entertaining to
Grace, who recoltected them only too

well. Her father's flights of fancy,
and the costly manner in which he
like! to indulge them, were so familiar
to her, that she - did not placa much
in his dreams of unbreakable pottery.
Still, she listened this evening. Mr.
Henderson was apparently interested,
and as he knew all about such things,
the idea must be of practical value.
Lucas threw out a suggestion or two
as the Major proceeded, and the Major
received these with so much gratitude,
that gradually he began to explain his
own modus operandi. . Grace now felt
sure that the idea was not only prac
tical, but unusually brilliant and valu
able. She entered into the subject
with such confident expectation of the
days when broken teacups should be
unknown, that the young man, thus
encourged, went more deeply into the
details of his scheme, while Major
Kenne lr commented, objected, admired,
questioned in turns; and Mr. Eyan
said nothing, only listened.
Mr. Henderson was the first to take
leave, in spite of the dulness of his
iod'einxs and the attractions of Simla
House. Mr. Eyan usually outstayed
his welcome, so far as Grace was con
corned; but to-nignt he had much to
-ay in commendation of the departed
Tucst. to which she listened attentively
enough. He reserved, however, allu
sion to the china process until the
M.aj'ir sauntered with him down the
Df.rden path. 1
"You may as well get that young fel
low to tell you what he knows about the
pottery business," he said carelessly.
' He has not the brains to develop his
notions, but he cannot help v gleaning
something on the practical side of the
r.-::tter in his every-day work, and that
might help you in your own scheme."
"Quite so, quite so," answered the
the. Mtsjor. "I intend to make him
useful " -
' There would be no harm done,"
addtJ Eyan, "if you quietly took a
note or two of his process. Mind you,
I don't say it will be any good, but it
can't do uny harm.'
"Quito so," said the Major again.
ho lienderson s invitations to Simla
House became more frequent and his
trreeting irom major Kennedy more
cordial He disliked and suspected
Eyan as much as ever, chiefly ayith ref
erence to Grace, but Mr. Eyan gener
ally kept away at these times. Lucas
was quite unjust in this particular sus
picion; for Ryan guaged the Major's
income too accurately to desire any
matrimonial, connection with the
Major's daughter. And who could
think evil of the hospitable Major,
with his impossible inventions, his en-
inusiasiic ignorance, and his friendly
courtesy to a poor and unknown
stranger? I ay, apart from that, who

he smiled to himself,

"Your good wishes ought to secure
success," he answered, his eyes bent on
her with an eloquence which Mr. Ryan
was probably unaware that eye pos
sessed. "I have become very ambi
tious lately. I have more longing to
be rich and successful now than I had

She met his look for an instant, then
her eyes fell.
"Good-bye Go J be with you," she
said gently.
His parting words were still ringing
sweetly in Grace's ears, when, some
six weeks later, Major Kennedy en-

happened?"
"I tell you the thing is done, my
child; the invention patented, the com

with instinctive distrust

CHAPTER IL
CROS ACCOtTSTi
Grace Kennedy struggled in I vain
against the current of affairs. She
guessed intuitively what the successful
invention was; and indeed the Major,
though he felt some little awkwardness
in telling her about it had neither hope
nor desire to keep the secret for long.
The Unbreakable China was soon to be
advertised in every newspaper, to be
in everyone's mouth and in everyone's
hands. The Company, - under Mr.
Ryan's superintendence, was formed
with marvelous rapidity; some unsuc
cessful pottery works were secured, to
gether with the work-people, for what
Mr. Eyan described as "a mere cong."
One of the flaming circulars advertis
ing the venture fell into Grace' hands.
"Father," she said, looking straight
into Major Kennedy's face, "this is Mr.
Eyan's doing. Is it quite honest?"
"What is the girl talking about?"
said the Major testily. "Is what hon
est pray?" "
Grace replied with another question:
her eyes were still fixed on her father's,
though her color rose a little.
"Is not this Mr. Henderson's inven
tion?"' "Henderson? Nonsense! I got a few
hints from him, perhaps, simply on
the practical details of ordinary pot
tery manufacture, but his scheme

would have come to nothing without
my ideas and my brain to perfect the
whole. Eyan will tell you bo."
"I would rather believe you than Mr.
Eyan," said Grace.
Nevertheless, the Major had, by con
stant reiteration of the assurance, and
by listening to Eyan's protestations,
persuaded himself that the invention
was absolutely his own; whereas Ryan
knew perfectly that the Major's misty
notions were, ntterly worthless until

Lucas Henderson had surgested. But
Grace could prove nothing, even for
her own satisfaction. She had no defi
nite knowledge by which to judge the
question as to how far the experiments
which Lucas had described were those
which Mr. Eyan and her father had
acted upon. She only knew that her
father and Eyan had eagerly ques
tioned Lucas, and that now they pro
claimed the 'invention theirs. The
patent was taken out in the Major's
name, the works were set going, and
Lucas Henderson made no sign.
The new home in London was on a
far grander scale than Simla House.

Marston. Grace had no friends in Lon
don, her old duties were gone, and har
father was out all day. She could not j
guess how the rent and the furniture, !
and a hundred other matters were go- ;
ing to te paid for, and the Major only j
laughed and pooh-poohed her ques- J
tions.
"You are like that girl in Dickens; j

he 6aid. "You cannot accustom your
self to good fortune."
The one link with the old life was

only of the Unbreakable China Com
pany, but of the house , in Vernon
Square. Grace might protest against
expenditure- and shrink from going
into society, which received her with
cold shoulders and supercilious looks,
but Mr. Ryan's dictum was that the
money must be spent and the society
cultivated.
"Father, I would rather stay at horn;)'
than go to Ebdon House to-morrow,"
she urged one day. "And I believe you
would rather stay too, if only you
would confess the truth. We don't like
crushes and crowds of strangers, and
uo one there will care whether they see
us or not
"Do bo more sensible, Grace," said
the Major. "You must see a littl so
ciety. It is only fair to you that we
should go, whether I like it or not
Besides, will not Mr. Ducie be there?
Didn't he tell you that he was go ing?"
"That is another reason why I w ould
rather not go. I would sooner not meet
Mr. Ducie."
"Mr. Ducie has two thousand pounds
a year and splendid prospects."
"That is not the way you used to
value a man, father."
"And he is good-looking, well-connected,
and all the rest of it What
can possibly be your objection to him, -Grace?
"Then, again, he may be a most use
ful man to us; his name would be worth
a great deal on our Board, and his
money would ba worth still more. It
is desirable necessary that we should
cultivate his friendship"
Still Grace said nothing.
"And, Grace, my child," went on the
Major restlessly, "I have at times
thought there must be something more
than friendship in his mind."
He looked sharply at his daughter,
but Grace did not flinch from the in
spection. "I hope not" she said. "There will
never be anything more on my side."
"Never, Grace? But of course you
say so now. Girls always say that un
til a "man proposes. Mr. Ducie is a
gentleman of whom all the world
speaks well, who will be able to give
his wife everything a woman can want
And and we are very comfortable
now, my dear, and all seems going on
very pleasantly; but it may not last. I
am getting to be an old man, my dear;
I can't live for ever. I should like to
see my Gracie married and settled be
fore I go."
"Father," cried Grace, kneeling on
the floor by his chair, and taking his
ha nd, "don' t talk in that way You
do not want to leave me, do you? and,
please God, you will be spared to me
for many years yet"
"And there are other reasons, Grace,"
went on the Major, clearing his throat
and preferring not to answer her di
rectly. "We cannot tell how fortune's
tide may turn. We must take it at the
flood, Gracie; make hay while the sun
shines. What is the use of a fine honSe,"
he added jocularly, "if we do not go
among fine people, and if I cannot se
cure a rich husband for my daughter?"
"I do not want a rich husband, fa
ther. We neither of us care for the
fine house or the fine people. Let us
'leave it, and go back to Marston. We
were a great deal happier in those old
times at Simla House than we are
now."
Major Kennedy thook off her gentle
hand angrily.
. "You talk like a fool Grace! It is a
poor return lor all the enorts made
and the ambitions cherished for your
sake to hear you whining after that
wretched little hole at Marston."
"I am very sorry. I did not mean to
be ungrateful,", said Grace. "I am
afraid I am not ambitious."
And then she remembered how Mr.
Henderson had said that he was am
bitious, and was made the more am
bitious by bis visit to Marston. She
had admired his ambition. There

much or little he bad positively gained
from his information; conscious, too,
that he was the man of all the - world

encouraged his visits in order that her

Her cheeks flamed at the very thought
It chanced that she heard . again of
him that very night although Mr.
Eyan, who was the bearer of the news,
did not intend it for her ears. He spoke
in a low tone, and Grace was playing
the piano at the other end of the room.
"I was at Parkman's the other day,"
Eyan said. "I hear young Henderson
is in a bad way."
'How so?" asked the Major quickly.
"Ill," answered Ryan laconically.
"Might have been flourishing if he had
behaved sensibly. I made him a fair
offer to throw in his luck with us, and
if he chose to be saucy about it he is
justly rewarded..
"You really did treat him fairly?"
questioned the Major, with some anxi
ety. "He gave us a good deal of help,
Eyan. I should not like to be unfair
to the lad."
' Pooh! he was not much use; you
always had exaggerated notions on
