and firmly rrsuadkl that "Tom"

revenge, the sensible elder sister forgot I
that she was not living in a melodram- !
looked the fact that "Hamilton, being a
gentleman, it was not likely that he
would act as if ho were a cad.
So, on tho whole, tilings were looking
very serious when, for tho fiftieth time
at least, Rosalind tried to roako her bi
ter confess whether sho had given Gco3
the photograph, or whether he had taken
it from Mrs. Maitland's album. She
had her own opinion on the subject; so
it was really waste of time to cross-ques
tion the nauchtv littlo carl, who was
" 0 , c w a
anxious to keep the peace between the
old love anil the new.
"I Hunk you are very unkind, Rosie,"
she f-aid at last; "and if yon do not be

it?"
"I do not expect Tom to do it I You
talk as if believing in yon were a gym
nastic, feat. I know what I should do in
Tom'B place, if another man told mo ho
had a photograph of the girl I meant to
marry, and gloves and things "
"He lias only one glove and no
things!" interrupted Iietty,-whimper

Tom two photographs one sitting and

"I hope the spoiling is all right.
"I hope so. He is not much of a
speller himself."
"He spelt 'adored' with two d's tho
other day My addored one.' It looked
so funny.
"Mr. Hamilton is away just now, is
he not ?" Rosalind asked presently.
"Yes. He went to his sister a wed
ding. I wish it was to his own."
"Ho docs not live in barracks, I
think T
"No; ho has rooms in Diamond Cres
cent, No. 15, and Gerard Townsend
lives with him."
"He is the woman-hating person who
is reading for something and never goea
out ? . . . And now I suppose you
aro going to write to your adored Tom ?
I nm going out for a walk."
"And wont yon ail vise me how to get
back my photograph? I wish I had
not given it to him."
"Oh, so you did give it !
"I am a'fraid I did .". sighed iWty.
"But he liegged so hard, and said he
had never cared enough for any girl to
ask for her likeness before."
"Poor fellow! But ho must give it
up. Now go and write your letter."
And Rosalind ran out of tho room.
Alout an hour later a young lady with
r. mackintosh on her arm knocked at tho
door of 15 Diamond Crescent. She had
evidently lvn walking fast, for her
cheeks were glowing and her eyes wero
bright.
"This is awful," she said to hersrlf,
as she hoard steps approaching the door
on tho inside. A civil looking woman
opened it. i .
"An are the centlemen at homo?
the. visitor asked. "I mean is Mr. j
Townsemat home? I am his sister,
and W expects me, I think."
"Oh, walk in, ma'am, if yon please.
Mr. Townsend told mo you wero not
coming until to-morrow; ho is out just
now, but. your room is quito ready.
Have you no luggage, ma'am ?'
- The visitor muttered something alxmt
tho station as she went into tho lrwl.
"Please show mo into the sitting-room,"
sho said: "lean wait for my brother
ilm-c. No, thank you; no tea. Is this
this the room i"
"Yes, ma'am. The gentlemen lias
this between them. Mr. Hamilton is
coming back unexpected this evening.
He was-telegraphed for, as thcro is soaio

"What is that : noise ?" tho visitor
asked.
