"What could Phil say? A certain
sens, oil relief, too, flashed over his mind.
He simply bowed, expressed his thanks
for the hospitality and kindness he had
received his regret at the sudden and,
he musibbservc, unexplained termination
of his engagement, and requested that a
cab miet be called TO transport himself
and his brtmanteau to the club.
So endd Phirs dream of an heiress.
Yet thatbeartless young man was actu-

drove aw from Marquis Square; and
Mrs. Ridley would have felt herself
more thai ever justified had she read his
thoughts Free even if beggar.

Phil didot lament when he found
next morlhg that sudden orders had
come for he regiment to sail for Can

maiden.

to think, anlseriously, too. Perhaps
the bracing sair affected his very easy
going ideas otany subjects; perhaps 1t
was that he hi nothing to do but to
smoke, play WIT, and think; but certain
it is that the ulant, self-satisfied and
careless Phil bkn think his honorable
self but doubtfE worthy of that true
love.

had shown him kre of his better nature
