happened while he was in Surrey. He
vaguely speculated about it now and then
as he sat watching through the afternoon.
But nothing seemed to matter very much
to him-rothinn but Marie and the slow

her face as she looked at her brother.
''Do you know, Eastace, quite made
up my mind from those first letters OF
youcs in May, in spite of your denials,
that vou were very deeply taken with her?
I remember quite seriOusly discussing the
pros and cons of it with myself"
The words were said so lightly, they be-
trayed so clearly the speakers conviction
that she had made foolish mistake, that
thew ssung Kendall to the quick. How
could Marie have known? Had not his
letters for the last three months been mis-
leading enough to deceive the sharpess
eyes? Aud yet she felt unreasonabiy that
she ought to have knOwn-there was a
blind clamor in him against the bluntness
of her sisterly perception.
His silence was so prolonged that Nine
de Chateauvieux was startled by it. She

TO annoy you, Eustsc,? Won't you let

When they reached his rooms he put her
carefully into a chair by the fire, made her
take some sandwiches, and set the kettle
to boil in his handy bachelor way that he

he talked about various nothings, till at

longer, caught his hand as he was bending
over the fire.
''Eustace" she exclaimed, "be kind to

He drew himselfto his full height on the
