''Miss-NIiss Wintringham?"
well, why not?"
Mr. Gillette had no reply ready; he
only rubbed his hands, smiled feebly
and advanced toward the blaze, while
Mr.. Hood was exchanging in turn MS
greeting with the former heiress.
1t is surprise. Miss Nottingham.
to see you here he said, frankly, but
a very agreeable one"
And Glare wondered in her heart
what new mood of gallantry had taken
away all Frank Hoods awkwardness,
1T is as good as a tableauN, she
thought, gleefully. when Hood had eN-
planned TO her that unexpected business
had taken them across the country in
the dead OF winter. thus bringing about
so entirely unanticipated a meeting
and she had gone into the outer kitchen
to get some cream for the table. And
as she stood there Swimming off the
golden accumulation which followed
her spoon in thick, leathery folds, she
heard Gellette's voice speaking.
'Of course the father has failed. and
they've lost everything. a great pity.
for with that face she might have mar
ried Well"
And what is to prevent her marrying
well now?" Frank Hoods slow, DELHI
crate tones answered.
My dear fellow, we must all look out
for the main chance. In fact. l was
once little smitten myself but Of
course it's quite out OF the question
now"
Mr.. Hood did not reply; and Glare,
as she stood there with burning cheeks,
was glad that he did not.
But when she came back TO preside at
the tea table. with Moses Peckham
democratically seated at the lower end,
she was as composed as ever.
The storm continued in undated yio-
lence for two days. during which time
Mr.. Gillette yawned over the week 5
old newspapers, smoked his cigar beside
the fire and Systematically ignored Miss
Wtntringham's presence.
"A fellow mustn't let himself get en-
tangled" was his mental reflection.
Frank Hood. however reasoned 9TH
erwise. He haunted Clare's footsteps
with persistency; he helped her clean
the windows, wiped the dishes, even es-
sayed to sweep the floors. And Glare
though she declared he was more OF a
hindrance than a help, seemed to like IT,
On the third day the weather cleared
gloriously. and Moses Peckham brought
round the strangers horses.
Come. Hood" said Frank Gillette.
impatiently, ARE you going TO stand
there all day. making adieus?"
BE of as quick as you like" said
Hood, calmly; I am not going"
Not going? But business
Hang business!" was the unaccount-
able reply. What do l care for bust
ness? Miss Wintringham has promised
to be my wife, and my business Is here
just at present"
And when Harry Gillette was gone
Glare told her lover the truth. At this
Frank was half inclined to be vexed.
