suurE
II shall not allow her 10 wear mourning
Tor Mr. Glchrist,u be said, curtlyi 80 the
nurse dared say no more
Three days later the funeral took plaeei
and If the facts Of the dead mans having
acknowledged Miss Mignon as his child and
having admitted to Bottles that be had
transferred her that night from bis "
quarters to Bottles rooms, created a sensa-
ton, It was as nothing to the intense sur
priss caused by the will, which was read, by
The dead mans desire, before all the officers
Of the regiment.
In it he left his entire property to MS
daughter, Mary Gilchrist, now in the care
of Capt. Ferrers, and commonly known az
Mignon, on condition that Capt. Ferrers
consented to be her sole guardian and trustee
until she had attained the age Of q, or until
her marriage, provided it should be with
her puardian's sanction, and on the express
understanding that Capt. Ferrers not
give ND the care of the child to her mother,
oven temporarily. To his wife, Helen Gil
CHRIST. a copy of this testament was to be
rant forthwith. Should any Of the condi-
gons be violated, the whole property Of
which he died possessed should go to his
consin. Lucian Gavor Gilchrist; but if the
conditions be faithfully observed Capt. Fer
rers should have the power of applying any,
or all, of the income arising from the estate
for the use and maintenance Of the said Mary
G;ilchrist.
'Cwrazyl' murmured Lacy to BOTTLES,
who listened in contem ptuous silence, and
II = - all J;--,o-r THAT 1i7,1 Of n
life he should have if Mignon's mother chose
to make herself Objectionable.
But the will was not crazy at all; far
from it. 1t was only a very cleverly thought
cut plan for keeping mother and child apart.
Boobies would take care not to cndanger
Mignon's inheritance, and Gilchrist had
taken advantage Of it to carry out his ami
mostly towards his wife to the bitter end.
But, of course, there was one contingency
he had never thought Of or provided for
marriage.
1t was less than a week after Gilchrists
death that Boobies received q note by hand,
signed Helen Gilchrist.
"Already!" he groaned, impatiently.
MAY | trouble you to send the child tt
see me for half an hour during this after
noon" she said, and that was all.
But Bootles did not see sending the child
to be quietly stolen away. He forgot quite
that since Gilchrist had not left his widow q
farthing she would probably be now no bet
ter able to provide for the child than she had
been when compelled to cast her baby upon
the fathers mercy. Therefore, Immediately
after lunch, he drove down to the hotel from
which the note had been written. Yes; Mrs.
Gilchrist was %within-this way. And then
then-Bootles, with the child fast holding
his hand, was shown into a room, and there
they found.-MiSS Grdcel

CHAPTER VT

A month had passed., AMI the three ladies
still rema nsl at Ferrer5 Court, though other
visitors had come and gone, lots Of them.
Lacy was till there also, and occupied in
making desperate love to the Russian lady,
utterly ignoring two important facts-one
that she only laughed at him, the other that
she was three years his senior.
But while all this was going on, Bottles
had fallen in lovesat last, as men and women
only fall once IN their lives. and of course
the lady was NINE. Gcurbolska's friend, Miss
Graee-had he but known it, the mother Of
Mignon.
But Boobies never suspected that for a
moment. True, there was a likeness so
strong as to proclaim the truth, and many a
time Miss Grace wondered, when she caught
sight Of the child's face and her own in a
glass, that all these people did not see it.
Yet neither Boobies nor any one else did see
It, and the game Of love was played on with
desperate earnestness on his side, and with
equally desperate desire to prevent it on
hers.
But Bottles admired shy game, and Miss
Grace's evident shypess made him only the
more earnest; and not being troubled with
that faint heart which never won fair lady,
he had no intention of allowing Nine. Gour-
bolska to depart from beneath his roof with
out asking Miss Grace toreturn to it as its
mistress Therefore n afternoon, when he
returned from hunting in much despatched
mink. and went into the are-iit library,
where be found Miss Grace half dreaming
by the fire, be shut the door with the inten-
ton of getting It over at once. Miss Grace
rose with some signs Of confusion.
"Don't 20 for Q minute" said BQstlesi q

oaksn chimney shelf 10 steady herself, and
her heart began 10 beat hard and fast.

Bottles said very gently.
"For-my ownF sharply. what do

For a moment she thought be knew all,
but bis next words undeceived her.
IF she had such a mother as you, Door
little moihsrless waif, and il / had such a
wife, and If Ferrers Court had such q mis-
tressl OH don't you understand what I
meanF taking her hand.
Miss Grace snatched the hand away.
'oh, don't, don't, DoN'Tl' she said, turning
away.
But Boobies possessed himself of it again.
'Must | tell YOU morel Oh, my darling.
