The Maori warriors. who, with their chief,
Major Kemp, as he likes to be called, are
coming to England to take part in the
diamond jubilee festivities, will find in the
grounds of Lord Onslow's country seat a
native WHARF,, or dwelling house, that has
been lifted bodily from amidst the scenic
grandeur of Wairoa, their home in far
waters, and set down in a restful English
vale by the side of a streamlet.

banks. Indifferent alike to the murmurous

How was that?' she asked with interest.
''She was confronted by a desperate

Immediately thereafter he gave her an
imitation of a desperate man, and, While it
was not very good, it served the purpose.

Nearly seven years afterward a girl was
sitting in a pretty drawing room of st.
Leonards. She was a very pretty girl, with
curly brown hair loosely twisted and coiled
at the back of her head, and blue eyes
which met yours frankly and innocently.
She was taller and more graceful in move
ment than at seventeen, but otherwise Nell
had altered very little as the years passed
on. Just now she was sitting in a great
armchair, her little feet on the fender. her
chin in her hand, gazing into the glowing
fire with very evident perplexity and an
noyance in her face. Her other hand held
a letter, and every now and then she
glanced Indignantly at il.
Presently she moved and read it again
from beginning to end, but apparently with
no fresh enlightment.
" Qat on earth- she murmured. "Oh.
why will people be so tiresome?'
She leaned back. c|lasping her hands be-
hind her head with a hopeless expression.

aloud Il shall give il up and ask Tom

With this comforting reflection she ac-
cordingly deserted the problem which had
