! "Yes did see him." rctorted Mr.. Yorke,
nearly choking with his efforts to keep down
his anger. "What brought him here p
al sent for him at least, sent"
"And how dared you send for him, or admit
him to my house How dared you seize the
moment my back was turned to fetch him to
your side ? Was the meeting may ask, q
repetition of the parting?"
Whatever are you talking OF " uttered
Mrs. Yorke, paling little with old recolec-
tons, and vexed at the turn her husband
seemed to be taking. What do you mean ?"

son, your former favored lover. Have been
so distasteful a husband to you that you must

in the first hour of your arrival here Who
told you he lived in Offord How did You
ferret it out ?--or have you known it all
along and concealed the knowledge from
me ?"
Mrs Yorke sank back in her chair, awed
and bewildered. II do think you are out Of

Mrs. Yorke swept out OF the room, her face
flashing with Indignation, and Mr.. Y orke

learnt what had happened. Itcannot be said
that it appessed him to any great degree, for
he was blindly prejudiced, and jealousy and
suspicion had turned his mind to gaugrene.
They had been smoudering there for years
perhaps the consciousness had been upon
him throughout that they would some time
burst into flame.
On the following morning Mr.. Janson
came, according to his promise Mr.. and
Mrs. Yorke were OF breakfast. He shook
hands with Mrs. Yorke, then turned, with his
frank, open countenance to Mr.. Yorke. Mr..
Yorke did not choose to see it, but he did
move his own to indicate chair
"Thank you, am pressed for time," replied
Mr.. Janson, laying his hand on the back Of
the chair, but not taking it. This is my
hour for visiting Lady Rich who is great

"He seems much better" answered Mrs.
Yorke. "He is asking to get up"

They came down shortly, both Mr.. Janson
and Mrs. Yorke. "He is so much better
that the difficulty will be to keep him quiet"

or two"
You are sure there is no danger?" asked

open window.
"Ob, none in the world. will look in

"Very. By the way, Mrs Yorke," added
the surgeon, halting for moment, "you must
not suffer the boy to stir outside. The sun
might affect his head"
"Of course not" she answered.
However Leopold did get outside, he and
his whitebandaged forehead amp tore about

uncovered head. In some twenty minutes he
was discovered: the bandage off, and he as
scarlet as red-hot engine boiler. Suddenly

Nobody was to blame. Mrs. Yorke had
coaxed him into lying on he sofa in the sit
tiug-room "for nice midday sleep" and
went into the nursery, leaving him, as she
believed, safe. Up jumped Mr.. Leopold the
instant he found himself at liberty and drop

In few days he was so far recovered that

been obliged to submit TO Mr. Janson's fire.

within miles, and the safety OF his son and
heir was paramount.
The peighborhood had hastened TO make
acquaintance with Mr.. and Mrs. Yorke, and
