sat still and waited for developments He
was content with his work. 1t was as hand
some a piece of diplomatic art as he had
ever turned out, he thought; and now lei
the girl make her own choice. He judged
she would let her specter GO; he hadn't
doubt of 1t, in fact; but anyway, let the
choice be made. and he was ready to ratity
Il and offer no further hlndrance.
Meanwhile Sally had thought her case
out and made up her mind. To the majors
disappointment the verdict was agains;
him. Sally said:
'He has no friend but me, and 1 will NOT
desert him now. 1 will not marry him il
his moral character is bad; but if he car
prove that it isn't willard he shall have
the chance. To me he seems utterly good
and dear; have never seen anything about
him that looked otherwise - except, OF
course, his calling himself an earl's son.
Maybe that is only vanity, and no real
harm, when you get to the bottom of it. ]
do not believe he is any such person as you
have painted him. / want TO see him. ]
want YOU to find him and send him to me.
! will implore him to be honest with me,
and tell me the whole truth and not be
afraid"
VERY well: if that is your decision L will
do 1t. But, Sally, you know, he's poor,
''Oh, don't care anything about that.
That's neither here nor there Will you
bring him 10 me?"
''I'll do it. When?"
so, dear, it's getting toward dark now,
and so you'll have to put it off till morning
But you will find him in the morning, Won t
You" Promise
'I'll have him here by daylight
"oh, now you're your own old self again
and lovelier than ever"
Il couldn't ask fairer than that Goodby,
dear
Sally unused a moment alone, then said
earnestly: 81 love him in spite of his namer
and went about her affairs with a light
heart.
Hawkins went straight to the telegraph
office and disburdened his conscience He
Eaid to himself, ''She's not going to give
this galvanized cadaver up that's plain.
Wild horses can't pull her away from him.
I've done my share; It's for Sellers to take
an inning now" So he sent this message
TO New York:
Come back. Hire a special train. She's
going to marry the materialiZee.
Meantime a note came to Rossmore
Towers to say that the Earl of Rossmore
had Just arrived from England, and would
evening. Sally said to herself:
Its pity he didn't stop in New York:
but it's no matter; he can go up tomorrow
and see my father; he has come over here
10 tomahawk papa very likely, or buy out
his claim. This thing would have excited
NE while back, but it has only one inter-
est for me now, and only one value. 1 can
say-to-to-Spine, Spiny, Spinal-I don't
like any form of that namel can say to him
tomorrow: Don't try to keep it up any more
or 1 shall have to tell you whom have been
talking with last night, and then you will
be embarrassed. %
Tracy couldn't know he was to be invited
for the morrow, or he might have waited.
AS it was, he was too miserable to wait any
longer; for his last hope-a letter-had
failed him. 1t was fully due TODAY; it had
not come. Had his father really flung him
away? 1t looked SO. 1t was not like his
father. but it surely looked So His father
was a rather tough nut, in truth, but had
never been so with his son-still, this i'm

Anyway, Tracy would go to the Towers and
then what? He didn't know; his head
was tired out with thinking-he wouldn't
think about what be must do or say-Iet it
all take care of itself. So that he saw Sally
once more he would be satisfied, happen
what might he wouldn't care.
He hardly knew how he got to the Tow
ers, or when. He knew and cared for only
one thing-he was alone with Sally. She
was kind, she was gentle, there was mois-
ture In her eyes, and a yearning something
in her face and manner which sne could not
wholly hide-but she kept her distance.
They talked. By and by she said, watching
his downcast countenance out of the corner
Of her eye:
