closest intimacy, and for long time; and
you may be pretty sure that the girl Vim

"Well, his eyes are as clear IS most folks.

her husband said-trying what little vague
optimism would do.
One afternoon Vincent was walking along
Piccadilly-and walking rapidly, as was his
wont, for the twin purposes OF exercise and
economy-when he saw, some way ahead OF
him, Lady Musselburgh crossing the pave

and stopped-color mounting to her face.
When he came up he merely lifted his hat.

she addressed him.
"Vincentl' she said in an appealing, half
reproachful fashion.
And then she said
'I want you to come into the house for a
| few minutes-I must speak with you."
''Is there any use?" he asked rather
coldly.
However, she was very much embarrassed,
as her heightened color showed, and he
could not keep her standing here in Picca-
dilly. He said, Every WE'LL" and followed
her up the steps and into the house. When
they had got into the drawing room she
shut the door behind them, and began al
once-with not little piteous agitation in
| her manner.
"Vin, this is too dreadful Can nothing

aunt what you said about Mr.. Bethene-
how you described his character, and all
that; but didn't do it as well as you; for

Precisely. Well, then, you are con-
