Beatrix, 81 will either tell them who I
am or give up the whole thing" Her
voice trembled.
''Now, my good little prima donna,
1on't you say anything so foolishl' said
Jocelyn, taking her hand in his and pat
ting it. Come, you know me, don't
you? and you know whether or not
Hamilton Jocelyn would permit any
one to insult you? Very WELL then;
you're as safe, if the worst comes to the
worst, as if you were sealed UP in the
center of the pyramid of Cheops. But
what | want you to learn is to have
courage-to hold your own bravely, and
not to be too squeamish about what the
people you meet with say and do. The
world always seems queer and little
disagreeable wfnn one is first brough.
in contact with it-full of people not
bit like our quiet folks out in the
country. But we can't change the
world, can we? All we can do is
to take things as they are, and make the
best of it. If we are all right nothing
can really hurt us. But we must have
courage, we mustn't be afraid, we
mustn't talk of giving up! We must be
a little woman of the world. Every
woman must be who intends to accom-
plish anything, let alone to make such a
reputation as lies before you. It's lit
tie freemasonry we all have to learn,
nothing more; and, as I said, though
you won't love me-naughty child!-yet
you can't help trusting your fathers old
friend; and as a matter of course you
will come to me if you get into any real
scrape. l shall be only too ready to as
sist you; but don't want to seem Off
cious either to you or to others, and [
want you to fight your own way as much
as possible at first. 1t will make it all
the easier for you hereafter. Don't let
yourself be put upon, of course. but
don't altogether forget that you're the
Mariana either. If you manage it clev-
erly her name ought to be a help to you
rather than the contrary"
I'm what way?'
ooh, the sharper the fight the sooner
over, you know, and the more decisive"
said Jocelyn, laughing. eyes, it is an
advantage In every way. If you were
entered in the lists in your own name,
with your father and all your friends to
fall back on, you would be falling back
all the time. You would be trusting to
their strength instead of to your own.
But since you're alone you'll discover
your own force, and make it evident to
the others into the bargain"

'My gracious, no." exclaimed Joce,

lated to you. To have him in attend
ance on you would be most-what shall
! say?-inexpedient; and if it led to
nothing else, it might lead to his true
relationship being found out. No, you
may see him occasionally, of course, but
on the same footing as any other chance
acquaintance. Ha, ha! You wouldn't
want to compromise your own father,
would you? not to speak of being COM
promised by him!"
''Well, I certainly am alonep' said
Beatrix gravely.
"In appearance, yes; but so long as
Hamilton Jocelyn is alive you'll have an
unfailing resource"
II should compromise you as well"
said she, looking at him fxedly. He
, made a laughing gesture of depreciation!
: ''Oh, don't be afraid of that I'm
known; everybody understands me! We
can do no possible harm to each other.
