"Of course, my dear," Mr. Lascelled observed, a trifle nervously, youknow" you can refuse him if you like, but you are so sensible, and " "Yes,' cut in the girl decisively, "anrt" I shall low live thousand a year, shan't I ? Well, I tell you flatly, papa, I shall lose the five thousand most certainly if I don't like tho man." "Then von intend to let the money clip from von altogether. . In plain words voil refuse-. Editli ssh-jqk her head. "I never do nuything in a hurry," 6he determined, and a glance at her pretty, firm mouth bore testimony to her wonts "but you did not tell me, papa, whaj induced Aunt Maria to choo60 this Mr., Kochdale more than any other person, j "She was in love with his father yeara ago. At least, I believe so, my dear; . and so " ' "I understand." Edith's lip curled in ft sneer; "delightfully sentimental aud?deplorably vulgar." Two days, later Edith found herself ensconced" in lluv snuggest corner of pretty Mrs. Pulton's ara wing-room. She was very fond of Lucy; they had been firm friends in their childish . days,i ChlXV4 'iULPi .. v t snect for the tall, handsomo cirl who was so far her superior in brains. The last time thev had met had been in Paris.' when Edith was introduced to "Luev'8 husband, one of the kindest- hearted men in the world a drysalter, or a soapboiler, or some such . mysteri ous and consequently wealthy person -and to the srolden-haired child, the very image of her mother and the idol of the household.' "You are looking pale, Lucy," Edith remarked, as she stitched -vigorously at . , i. ner work sue was never Hue a moment. Lucv suddenly belied the suggestion by coloring vividly, almost painfully. "I am very well, dear," she answered; and Edith's quick ear caught the faint est trace of annoyance in the pretty voice. She pondered a little over this, and by and bv Mrs. Dalton rose hurriedly. "You won't mind, Edith, if I leave you for half an hour, will you? I mus3 go to Dent's; they have not sent homo the things I ordered." 'Let me go." Edith put down her work. "You know yon have been out this morning, aud Herbert does not like to see yoa tired when he comes home." "Oh. the drive won't hurt me, and I would rather go myself, the people ara to stupid.. I know you won't be dull there is a pile of new books, and baby will come down if you would care to have her." .

At dinner-timo Edith, watching her, 6a w the -evident effort made by the young wife to appear cheerful and easy, and was surprised that Mr. Dalton ' did not seem to be aware that anything was wrong. "I certainly shall not enlighten him." she declared to herself, "but 1 will see what I can do with Liucjr vrnea he is cone. Icmorance is bliss in such a case as this. Why, he would fret himself to fidle-strings if he thought she were . ill." When the morning arrived which wit nessed Mr. Dalton's departure to Che north, Edith noticed more than ever that her friend was laboring under some emotion which was not unconnected, so it seemed to her, with excitement. Edith withdrew to let the couple say farewell. As she went into the drawing room, her thoughts flew far the first time to her father and his marriage scheme. "I suppose I had better write and tell the poor old man that I consent to meet Mr. Rochdale. It can do no harm at any rate, and i can't possibly marry him without seeing him nrst. 1 will go home at -the end of this week." . I The first day of Mr. Dalton's absence passed much as usual. On the second, Mrs. Dalton drove out with her friend and child, and did some shopping. As they returned to the comfortable villa near Regent's Park, they met a woman carrying a parcel in her liand, evidently bound for a journey. "Why. that is Tarker, is it not?" Edith said suddenly; "is she going away, Lucr!" Parker was the housemaia ai me vuia. "Yes." Mrs. Dalton murmured, stop ping with a hurried gesture to push some parcels on t the seat opposite. "She has been waiting to go home for some time, and I thought now Herbert was away it was a good chance to give her a holiday." Edith acquiesced in this, and did not observe Lucy's face flush crimson and then fadelo-deathly pallor as -she spoke; indeed, at that moment they turned in at the gates, and Parker was forgotten. The two women dined rather drearily. for Lucy was strangely dull, and Edith i was suddenly attacked by an unusual and .disagreeable toothache. "Why not go to bed, Edith t" Mrs. Dalton suggested as the clock struck 9 and they were back in the drawing-" room. Edith felt desperately cross with her self. "A nice person 1 am to cheer any one " she thought viciously. Sho v.nn more, than annoyed that so trivial but painful an ailment shouldXisit her when she was the possessor oi so rarciy w imo aud even a set ol teeth, one was no i easily beaten, but after half and hou had goue, during which she had Wn too unconuortauio lo nouco me tuntum-, restless manner in which Lucy fidgeUnl about, she threw up the spongo and dc i ulared for ljed. . . ' "Let me bring you some brandy and j water, and it will make you sleep," waj : Mrs. Daltou's eager request. And Edith was obliged to permit hei friend to perform this charitable office, J and see her to her room. This is Mrs. Dalton's ho one. , I am here at lier invitation. I leave it only at her request, he answered shortly. "I will ring up tho servants and have you thrown out," she replied, And' so compromise your ier friend," be said, w ith a raw. "By all means; I am perfectly willing." - Edith drew a short breath. "You are a coward," sho said quietly; then lwfore he could speak she went on very slowly and with great deliberation, "Lucy is" upstairs. . I am alone with you; the scandal, therefore, will fall on me. Now, shall I call the servants, or will you go?" ; "JJy Jove!" he muttered under hi breath. He had never come serosa this sort uf woman before: his eves iust met hers. and at the unutterable disgust and con tempt in them he was abashed ; he took nn his hat and sauntered out of the room without savin 2 one word.
