CHAPTER LXXNN.

Caroline had not word to say. She
eould only kiss him, and promise to
make him what amends she could when
he came back. "Of course you are
right" she said. "Do you think that |
would say word against 1t, even
though the marriage were to DO post
poned I" n.
al should-a good many words. But
| will be back in time for that, and VIII
bring the boy with me-"
Mrs. Trevelyan, when her husband's
letter was read to her, was almost over
come with the feelings which 1T excited.
In her irst paroxism of Joy she declared
that she would herself go to Siena, not
for her child's sake, but for that OF her
husband. She felt at once that boy was
being given up because OF the fathers
weakness-because he felt himself TO be
unable to be a protector to his SON
and her womau's heart was melted with
softness as she thought of the condition
of the man to whom she had once given
her whole heart. Since then, doubtless,
her heart had revOlted from him. Since
that time there had come hours IN which
she had almost hated him for his cruel
ty to her. There had been moments In
which she had almost cursed his name
because of the aspersion which it had
seemed that he had thrown upon her.
But this was now forgotten, and she
remembered only his weakness. "Mam-
ma" she said. II will 60. 1t is my duty
to go TO him" But Lady Rowley with
held her, explaining that were she to go,
the mission might probably fail In It's
expresse purpose. "Let Louey be sent
10 ms first" said Lady Rowley, "and
then we will see what can be done alter
ward"
And so Mr.. Glascock started, taking
with him a maid servant who might
help him with the charge of the child
IL was certainly very hard upon him
In oroer to have time for his journey to
SieAa and back, and time also to so out
to Casalunga, it was necessary that he
should leave the Baths at five in the
morning. IF ever there was hero
of romance, you are he" said Nora To
him.
Tho heroes of life are SO much bet
ter than the heroes of romance" SAID
Caroline.
This is a lesson from the lips of the
American Browning" said Mr. Glascock.
Nevertheless, think would rather
ride change against u Paynim knight
in Palestine than get up at half past four
in the morning"
1--WE will get up too, and give the
knight his coffee" said Nora. They did
get up, and saw him oil; and when Mr..
GlascOck and Caroline parted with a
lovers embrace, Nora stood by Us sis
ter might have done. Let US hope that
she remembered that her own time was
coming.
There had been O promise given by
Nora, when she left London, that she
would not correspond with Hugh Stan
bury while she was in Italy, aud this
promise had been kept. 1t may be re-
membered that Hugh had made q pro.
position to his lady. love, that she should
walk out of the house one fine morning,
and get herself married without any re-
ference to her fathers or her mothers
wishes. But she had not been willing
TO take upon herself as yet independ.
ence so complete as this would have re-
ouired. She had assured her lover that
she did mean to marry him some day
even though it should be In opposition
to her father, but that she thought thai
the period for filial persuasion was not
yet over; and then, in explaining al
this to her mother, she had given
promise neither to write nor TO receive
letters during the short period OF bel
sojurn in Italy. She would be an obedi
ent child for so long;-but, after that
she must claim the right TO fight bel
own battle. She b nd told her lover that
he must not write; and of course, she
mad not written word herself. But
now, when her mother threw it in heI
teeth That Stan6nry would not he ready
10 marry her, she thought that an un.
fair advantage was being taken of her
ana OF MN. How could he be expected
10 say tnat Ae was ready-deprived as
he was OF the power of saying anything
at all!
Mamma" she said, the day befor,
they went to Florence, "has papa fxaf

day in Julyp

"Hss not papa written about tn

"You will not, Nora! Is that prope
