HE KNEW HE WASRIGHT

CHAPTER VI.

I.ate in the afternoon his wife and his
s,ster.in-law came down, dressed for
walking, and, finding TreVelyan In the
library, they asked him to join them
it was q custom with them to walk IN
the park on Sunday afternoon,-and
he mt once assented, and went out WITH
them. Emily, who had had her triumph,
was very gracious. There should not
he n word more said by her about Colo
mel Osborne. She would avoid that
gentleman, never receiving him in Cur
ION Street, and having as little to say
to him as possible elsewhere; but she
wonld 'aot throw his name in her hus-
bands teeth, or make any reference to
the injury which had so manifestly been
dene TO her. Unless Louis should DO
indiscreet, it should be as though 1t had
been forgotten. AS they walked by
Chesterfield House and Stanhope Street
into the park, she began to discuss the
sermon they had heard that morning,
and when she found that that subject
was not alluring, she spoke ola dinnerto
which they were TO 90 at Mrs. Fairfax's
house. Louis Trevelyau was quite av g
that he was being treated as Haugn-
ty boy, who was To be forgiven.
They went across Hyde Park into
Kensington Gardens, and still the same
thing was goingo on. Nora found IT to be
almost impossible to say word. Treye!-
van answered his wife's questions, but
was otherwise silent. Emily worked
very hard at her mission of forgiveness,
and hardly ceased in her efforts at con-
ciIiatorv conversation. Women eau
work so much harder in this way than
men find it possible TO do! She mover
TAGGED, but continued to be fluent, con-
ciliatory, and intolerably wearisome.
On a sudden they came across two men
together, who, as they all knew, were
barely acquainted with each other.
These were Colonel Osborne and Hugh
Stanbury.
81 am glad to find you are able to
be out" said the Colonel;
Thanks; yes. think my seclusion
lust now was almost as much due to ba-
by as to anything else. Mr.. Stanbury,
how is it we never see You now r.

Chow very unpleasant"
"Well; yes. The uupleasantness Of
this world consists chiefly in the fact
that, when maa wants wages, he must
earn them. The Christian philosophers
have theory about it. DoA't they call
it the primeval fall, original sin, and
that kind of thing"
"Mr. Stnnbury, won't have irrelig-
ion. l hope that doesn't come from

Certainly net with me, Mrs Trevel-
van: have never been put on to take
that branch yet. Scruby does that
with us, and does it excellently. 1t
was he who touched up the Ritualists,
and then the Commission, and then the
Low Church bishops, till he didn't
leave one of them leg to stand upon."
"What is it, then, the Daily Record up

lieve In that and you will surely be
sayed.n Then he turned to Miss Row
lev, and they two were soon walking on
together, each manifestly interested il
what the other was saying, though there
was no word of tenderness spoken be-
tween them.
Colonel Osborne was now between
Mr.. and Mrs. Trevelyan. She would
have avoided the position had it been
possible for her to do so. While they
were falling into their present places,
she had made little mute appeal TO
her husband to take her away from the
spot, to give her his arm and return
with her, to save her in some way from
remaining In company with the man to
whose company fer her he had objected;
bnt he took no such step. 1t had seemed
to him that he could take ne suob stem
without showing his hostility to CoIn.

They walked on along the broad notb
together, and the Colonel was hctweer
them.

Colonel Osborne certainly had q Ca

talking to women, which, unless it were
reciprocated and eDj.yed, was likely to
make itself disagresable. No possible
words could have been more innocent
than those he had now spoken: bur bs

On, making the distance between him
and the other man greater than was
necessary, anxious to show to his wifs
that he had no jealousy at such meet

this state of things, let the cost be what
it might. She did not say word to
Colonel Osborne, but addressed herself
