worth and loved him as she feared him. Now
this fear and feeling helped Fred to most of
his interviews with Bell. He got to know
that If he called close upon the time when
Mr.. Vernon was due home from the city,
Mrs. Vernon would have Bell in the room to
play propriety in case of sudden surprise
from Othello. 1t was Fred's consummate act
ing on these occasions which at once amused
and annoyed Bell.
''Oh. Miss Bell you are growing!" in an
amazed tone; and then, turning to her
mother. he added almost remonstrantly'
why, she has got her hair upn'
''She would have it up, and she goes on
growing" in an aggrieved tone, as though
Bells wiIlfuIness was responsible for this also.

Vernon, uneasily, but with her most youthful
smirk
Your cried Fred, interposing himself be-
tween Bell and her mother at once to escape
and to conceal the girls look of reproyal.
''Of course I married very young-a mere
child, 1 might say
"At Bells age?'' Fred asked, mischievously
placing the good lady in the dilemma OF ad-
mitting either her own age or the marriagea-
bleness of Bel.
But the shallow little woman, Ike q child,

reigned. Most, at least. of her admirers had
the tact to perceive that they must make
love to the nurse for the sake OF the child"
while none was quicker TO recognize this than
the adroit young barrister whom Bell most
favored.
1t was, indeed, Bells only but recurring
quarrel with Fred Drew, that he led her
mother by his attentions to make her
self ridiculous. He pleaded with perfect
truth that he could not throw himself par
TALLY into any part; and he might with no
less truth have pleaded that this part of
"cavaliere scrvente" was forced upon him
by the lady.
From reading the works Of lady novelists
Mrs Vernon had almost come to think such a
dangerous admirer a fashionable necessity.
while the admiration itself had become per
sonai necessity 10 her Unsuitable vanity The
foolish faded little woman faneied herself
more fascinating than she had been at twenty,
since, while her beauty, as she fiattered her
self. was unimpalred, her skill in playing it,
had increased. Under this ridiculous deu-
sion she sat down her sarcastic husbands
biting comments upon what he called her
dance Micabre coquetries'' to jealousy. and
the shadow 10 her visions of fashionable in
trigues was the dread of a judicial separation.

She met Fred. therefore, with the pOrtent-
Gus face OF one whose stern, sad duty it was
10 break to him crushing bad news. Hardly
had she seated herself at one of the tables
than she began with, to say the truth, sons
enjoyment OF her new role; "Mr. Drew,

''I sayl Here's Mr.. Vermont cried Fred
''Oh. what shall l do2 What shall 1 say?"
she cried in real terror and even horror.
''You must say 1 asked you here TO propose

"Oh, at her age was in the nursery"
'I'm glad we live in more precocious days;
eh. Miss Bell? And how are We getting on
with our singing?" he asked in a tone so
grandmotherly that Bell was really relieved
that he did not pat her on the cheek.
II should like to hear you sing something"
he added, going for the piano, opening it,
and taking his favorite song, The Message"
from her portfolio.
AS Bell had a voice soft as moonlight set
to music, Fred would have been "all ear but
for his intense longing to utter his love,
which he whispered to her under the pretext
Of turning the music leaves. The conse-
quence was that both song and accompani-
ment went to pieces together.
''You'd better sing something you know"
her mother snapped viciously in her disap-
pointment to find that Fred had not-as she
had reckoned on asked Bell to sing in order
to enjoy unobseryed tete-a-tete with her
SELF
"I can't sing to-day" Bell said, tremu-
lously, for her ears were ringing with Fred's
own sweet ''Message'' and her neart beating
to it passionate accompaniment.
"I'll play something" she added, and pro-
ceeded to play without music a cold classical
piece in order at once to recover herself
and to get rid of Fred. That young gentle
man had to take the hint and to return to his
allegiance to Mrs. Vernon. As he seated him.

Accordingly Fred kept tryst next day at
