"Oh, but you are so thoughtless, YOU
see, Bell, and have SO little idea OF
management that you might be putting
the money to other uses, unless you
were particular to get it out of your
hands at once"
Mrs. Jack began to think that she
was paying very dearly for iler father.
i:-laW's assistance.
"And Mr.. Lilly wishes you to under.
stand. Bell, that YOU must not reckon
upon his doing this kind of thing in
future. He wishes to clear off every,
thing, and give you fair start. But
he really CANNOT be putting his hand
into his pocket for you every now and
then. hope you understand, Bell?"
81 quite understand. Mrs. Lilly. 1t
is not easy to mistake YOU meaning"
"And now I will take Popsy for a
drive if you like it. 1t will do the child
good. suppose she will behave her
self properly. Hasn't she better hat
than that one?"
As Popsy, on being Intercepted
whether she would rather stay with
mamma or ride in carriage. replied
Garry with prompt decision she was
hurried of to be dressed for her drive,
and Biddy was desired to put the
child's best clothes on for the occasion.
While Popsy's toilet was going on
Mrs. Lilly took the opportunity to give
Mrs. Jack some advice as to the dis
pOSal Of her income in future. 1t was
small income, Mrs. Lilly admitted;
but it might be made to suffice very
well with management. Biddy ought
to be discharged. What did Bell need
with more attendance than the servant
Of the lodgings could give? That alone
would effect a great saving. And you
know, Bell said her mother-in-law.
in conclusion, your income will be
strictly limited henceforth. Mr.. Lilly
will not be giving you pounds now and
pounds again. You refuse to come aQd
live with us. and you must do the best
you can. You must not reckon on a
shilling more than you have now.'
Unless l can earn one, Mrs Lilly"
oh, that is nonsense. You haven't
got a pupil vet. nor are you likely to
get one. And really, Bell, you ought
never to have entertained such a no.
ton. But you were badly advised. I
don't blame you so much"
Perhaps ought to have told her Of
Mrs. Boddington's letter. said Mrs.
Jack to herself, when the carriage had
driven off with Popsy in great state on
the back seat opposite her grandmoth-
er. But who knows! 1t may come to
nothing. And if they cut me because I
give lessons, they will hardly visit my
sins on the child-their eldest sons only

Lady-Doctor, I wish you would call

him know that I asked you, because he

CHAPTER. vi.


Mrs. Boddington's residence might as
appropriately been styled Cedar For
est as Beech Grove; for there was
neither grove nor beech tree within
view Of it. 1t was, however, a pretty
pleasant-looking house, surrounded by
lawns and flower gardens, and with a
shrubbery and wide grass meadows
behind it.
Bell walked up the drive to the front
door with beating heart. The crack
ling Of the gravel underneath her foot
steps made her nervous; and the deep
tone of the bell, which her timid hand
put set ringing startled her. She was
not shy by nature, but she was excita-
BILE and sensitive, and she had only the
yaguest ideas as to the sort of inter-
view that might be before her.
She had anXiOuSly consulted with
Barney about the terms she ought to
ask, and had, by her friends advice,
fixed them at a very moderate rate
ut so moderate a rate, in fact, that
some of poor Bells castles in the air
began forthwith to crumble into frag-
ments She had reckoned upon earn
ing SO much more than there seemed
the least hope of getting, according to
Barney's computation. However, here
was a beginning, at any rate. That
was the great thing.
Certainly; if you get this employ
ment, my DEAR" said Barney, smiling
Kindly, but throwing a little caution
airy encouragement into her deep con-
traltO tones
"Ah, think shall be sure to get it,
Barney!''
Poor child, why should make haste
to kick over her basket Of eggs?"
thought Barney. looking after Mrs
Jack as She walked up the street. eff
they are to be smashed the smashing
will always come soon enough, and
meanwhile she may as well enjoy
Of hers" So Bell set off to walk to
Beech Grove, more hoping than fear
ing, as her wont was.
She was shown first into a prettily
furnished little toudoir and asked to
wait there few minutes. She heard
a door open on the opposite side Of the
hall, and almost Immediately the serv-
ant returned and begged her to walk
into the morning room. The next min
ute Mrs. Jack found herself in the pres
ence OF three strangers, and was con-
scious that she was coloring and look
ing. embarrassed; which consciousness.
naturally, did not diminish her con-
fusion 81
The room was long, with a window
at each end of it, opening in the one
case on to the flower garden, and in the
other on to a lawn. shaded by flower
ing shrubs. The lawn window was
open, and near it was q little table at
which two gentlemen were seated,
smoking and playing backgammon. At
q very smart work table, all blue satin
and rosewood, sat lady half buried
in a luxurious easy chair. Her hands
had fallen into her lap amidst heap
Of bright-colored silks, and she held in
them piece of canvas partly embroid-
cred with similar silk. But she seemed
to have no present intention of hand
ling her needle. She was q young
woman, with a pretty, peachy face,
plump white hands, and stout over
grown figure. She was very richly
dressed, and her face and attitude ex-
pressed laziness, vacuity and good hui

The antitax war in Sicily grows
apace. A revolutionary movement
which threatens the overthrow Of the
constitutional government Of Italy Is
spreading like wildice I'LL over the is
land. For at least three months past
there has been intense activity among
the ultra radical agitators, who have
travelled through the country calling on
the people to throw off the yoke of SER
Witty and urging them to revolt. 1t Is
scarcely necessary to say that such ad-
vice has fallen on fertile ground. Sicily
at best has never been considered an
Arcadia of law and order; on the Other
hand, robbery and murder are almost
looked upon as legitimate means of
subsistence. The island has always
been thought Of as the very paradise OF
the brigand and the people connive
with and in every way encourage this
class of citizens.
However, leaving this out Of the
question, the situation in Sicily to-day
is an imminently dangerous one. and
it will require the most strenuous eff
forts by Crispi, who, by the way, is a
Sicilian himself, to quiet this revolu'
ton before it assumes much larger pro-
portions. On this island, where the rest
of the world thought that deep religious
convictions and social bondage still OBJ
