Lads ChetWynd looked at her favor
tie son and smiled a little. 1t was a
funny picture that of this grand crea-
ture. respleuGent with the beauties Of
nature appropriate to ''masher," and
adorned by clothes perfectly built,
working al anything but the obtaining
as much amusement as possible out of
life. The smile was but transient on
Lady Chetwynd's handsome face; it
died away soon. and she fell into pro-
found thought. Presently she said very
grayely. There is your Aunt Mar
gaTe-
What Of her ?'' inquired the Hon.
Herbert, looking up from bis admirable
boots, which he lad been studying at
tentWely, possibly wondering whether
the hundred well-cut pairs that stood
In his dressing room would be of any
use to wear out when he was a dock
laburpr, or whether it might become
necessary TO have sale Of his personal
belongings.
"Well-I know she is in England.
She wrote and told NE so, in fact. And
il has occurred TO me, once or twice,
10 wonder whom she will leave all her
money to-
Has she no one 2" inquired the
Hon. Herbert quickly.
No one at all. | believe 4; absolutely
no one. She was an only child, and
with 10 near relatives, when she mar
ried your uncle George. That is how
she came to he sole heiress to such an
enormous fortune"
Made out of sausages wasn't it ?''
'Oh, no nothing worse than pickles
and jam. I'd have forgiven her the
source Of Eer money, for, her father
being dead when she married, 1t might
all have been forgotten but found it
difficult to forgive her for being herself. I"
What the matter with her z" ask
ed tie Hon. Herbert.
We'll said Lady Chetwynd, hes
ltatiLg a little, ''she's-vulgar-and
rather ti!ghty. She never seemed to
be good enough for George"
why did he marry Ter then ?''
'Ul, as for that" answered Lady
ChetWynd, her color rising slightly,
Il believe he married her for her
money. l can imagine no other rea-
SON.
All; said her son ''then she's
been married twice for the same rea-
son, suppose ?"
Yes" observed Lady Chetwynd,
that second marriage made nae more
angry with her than ever. Now her
second husband is dead, really wish
She would call herself Mrs. Rolleston
again, instead Of going about as the
PnnceSs Droguca."
Never mind" said the Hon. Her
bert; ''aS the Prince cleared out with
out sqUanderiHg her money at cards I'll

SpectiClly Of his memory. Now tell me

said the hon. Herbert thoughtfully;
a queer place for an elderly lady.

Lady Chetwynd, looking thoughtful
as Sic did 50, wrote very brief note
ana handed it to her son, who started
Oh immediately. He was in such an
exceedingly tight place" just now that
he Would have gone much longer jour-

Sedgate Was looking glorious; and
Sue gayety Of the place and people, the
IIeShhess OF the air, and the brilliant
GG0lorlng of the sea and sky, made the
non. Herbert feel very young and de-
