1t was clear winters evening, sharply
cold, about a week after the fire, when
us Mrs Rayner came down the stairway
equipped for walk, and was passing
the parlor door without stopping, Mis-,
Travers caught sight of and called to
her:
care you going walking, Kate? Do
wait moment, and I'll go with YOU"
Any one in the hall could have shared
the authors privilege and seen the ex.
preston of annoyance and confusion that
appeared on Mrs. Rayner's face.
81 thought you We're out. Did not Mr.
Graham take you walking"
'Ile did; but we wandered into Mrs.
Waldron's, and she and the major begged
us to stay, and we had some music. and
then the first call sounded for retreat and
Mr.. Graham had to go, so he brought me
home. I've had no walk and need exer-
cise"
"But don't like you to be out after
sunset. That cough of yours -
disappeared the day after got here.
Kate, and there hasn't been vestige of
it since. This high, dry climate put an
end to it. No, I'll be ready in one min.
ute more. Do wait"
Mrs. Rayner's' hand was turning the
knob while her sister was hurrying to the
front door and drawing on her heavy
jacket as she did so. The former faced
her impatiently:
81 don't think you are at all courteous
TO your visitors. You know Just as well
as do that Mr. Foster or Mr. Royce or
some other of those young officers are
sure to be in just at this hour. You really
are very thoughtless, Nellie"
Miss Travers stopped short in her prep
arations.

cleared his throat and stood IN the pres.
ence of the man to whom, moro than
five years before, he had refused his
hand. The others listened anxiously;
"Mr. Hayne, this is Ross. l come
with Foster and Graham to say how
deeply we regret your injuries, and to
tender our sympathy and our services"
There was dead silence for n moment.
Foster and Graham stood with hearts
that beat unaccountably hard, looking at
each other in perplexity. Would he
never reply2
The answer came at last-a question.
"To what injuries do you allude, Mr..
Ross?'
Even in the twilight they could see
the sudden flush of the Scotchmans
cheek. He was a blunt fellow, but, as
the senior, had been chosen spokesman
for the three. The abrupt question stag
gered him. 1t was second or two be.
fore he could collect himself
Il mean the injuries at tho fire." he
replied,
This time no answer whatever 1t was
growing too painful. Ross looked in
bewilderment at the bandaged face and
and again broke the silence:

to be of service, Mr.. Hayne, If there is
anything we can do that you need or
would like hesitatingly.
