ment, he came in and was announced in
the way of any common visitor. The
footman preceded him, threw open the
door and formally announced "Mr.
Graham Welwyn."
Amazed at the announcement, Kath-
crime looked up and saw in one glance
at Graham's face that something pain
full had happened. Graham advanced
slowly toward her, hat in hand, and
having all the air of defiant and deter
mined intruder. He was silent-stonily
silent-until they were left alone, and
poor Katherine positively trembled at
his look
"You see I have disobeyed you," he
said sternly, "and have Gomez
''Disobeyed me in what?" she fall
tered. Sin coming in that way-like
some ordinary visitor? Yes-why did
you do it?''
"You are trifing with me, Miss
Shirley"-
"Miss Shirley! Why, Graham, what
do you mean? Are you taking leave of
your senses?"

he said solemnly. ST suppose I know
you now
"You know me now? Well, suppose
you do" she said disdainfully, not COM
pretending in the least what he would
be at.
"Yes. You believed, dare say, some
stupid or malignant story about me- Oh,
Katherine, how could you," and he al
most broke down, chow could you? I
ought not to have come here at all, but
resolved that at whatever pain to you
and to me would have from you the
reasons for your conduct. "
Suddenly the door was thrown open,
and the footman announced "Mr. Louis
Alan -
Louis Alan entered the room with an
expression of fatuous self satisfaction on
his old young face. Graham had drawn
back, and the smiling, self satisfied
Alan saw no one but Katherine.

tones-"I have come at your bidding,
my Katherine! may venture to call
you mine, may I not?" Then, as he was
about to take her hand and she was
drawing back from him quite amazed
and alarmed, his eyes fell on Graham
Welwyn.
"Oh, I beg pardon, am sure," he
said. "I-I-did not know you had WIS.,

said with truly tragic dignity, sit does
not matter to me. You have asked this
lady if you may call her yours. So far
as am concerned, you may"
He was turning to stalk out of the
room with the solemn grandeur of a
Ravenswood leaving forever the hall in
which he saw for the last time the wom-
an he believed to be faithless.
"Stop" Katherine exclaimed-''stop,
Graham, insist upon it Are you both
goi',r mad?" Then wild ray of guess
wo.s aaemed to flash upon her, and she
turned to Alan and asked rather fiercely
"Why did you come here, Mr.. Alan?'
because you told me to come," he
answered, with tremulous bewilder-
ment-"you told me you would give me
welcome"
81 told you to come? Why I told you
expressly not to come-not to come"
''Oh, I say, look here,' he began to
say, but she cut him short.
Graham, what did tell you in my
letter?''
"You forbade me to come to see you
any more" he said in funereal tones.
Then Katherine looked from one to
the other, and then-she could not help

burst into a peal of laughter. Again and
