your option will run out; then he wilt
pay cash for the mine at the original
price, and you and Kenyon will be left
TO pay two-thirds OF the debt incurred.
Where is Kenyon?'
"He has gone TO America"
That's good. Cable him to get the
option renewed. You can then try to
form the company yourselves In Lon
DON If he can't obtain a renewal, you
have very little time TO get the cash to-
gether, and if you are not able to do
that then you lose everything. This
is what ! came to tell you, although I
have been long time about it. Now L
must CO."
She rose, gathered her belongings
from the table. and stood with the para
sol pressed against her. Wentworth
came around to where she was stand
ing, his face paler than usual, probably
because of the news he had heard. One
hand was grasped tightly around one
wrist in front of him. He felt that lie
should thank her for what she had
Gone, but his lips were dry and some
how the proper words were not at his
command
She, holding her fragile lace-fringed
parasol against her with one arm, was
adjusting her long neaty-fittinr 8, 1--we,
which she had removed before tea. a
button, one of many, was difficult to
fasten, and as she endeavcred to ut it
in its place her sleeve fell away, fhow-
ing round white arm above the glove.
"You see" she said, a little breath
lessly, her eyes upon her glove. ''it is q
very serious situation, and time is of
great Importance"
81 realize that"
"It would be such a pity to lose
everything now, when you have had so
much trouble and worry"
at would"
"And I think that whatever Is done
should be done quickly. You should
act at once and with energy"
'I am convinced that is So"
"Of course it is. You are Of too trust
ing a nature; you should be more sus-
picious, then you wouldn't be tricked
as you have BEEN"
mo. The trouble is have been too
suspicious, but that Is past won't
be again"
'What are you talking about?" she
said, looking quickly up at him.
Don't you know you'll lose the mine
if"
'Hang the mine!" he cried, finging
hiswristfree and clasping her to him be-
fore she could step back or move from
her place. There is something more
important than mines or money"
The parasol broke with sharp snap,
and the girl murmured: "Oh," but the
murmur was faint.
''Never mind the parasol," he said,
pulling it from between them and toss
ing it aside. 'I'l get you another"
Reckless mani" she gasped. "You
little know how much 1t cost. And

without hearing the other side. But

thy for you. Don't you remember your
promises to let me know how your
company was getting on from tiuie to
time, and here l have neHer heard a
word from you; now tell me how you
have been getting on"
al hardly know, but | think we are
getting on very well, indeed. Yon
know, of course, that your cousin is go
ing to America TO report upon the
mine. As / have stated nothing but
what is perfectly true about the prop
erty, there can be no question as to
what that report will be, 80 it seems to
me everything is going on nicely"
"Why do you not 90 70 Amcrica?"
"Ah! well, | am an interested party,
aud those who are thinking of going
with us have my report already. 1t Is
necessary TO corroborate that. When
It is corroborated I expect we shall
have no trouble in forming q com
pany."
"And was William chosen by those
men 10 go to Canada?"
"He was not exactly chosen; he vol
unteered. Mr.. Melville, here, was the
one who was chosen"
"And why Mr.. Melville, more than
you, for instance?"
"Wcll, as 1 said ! ann out Of the ques-
4 iy,Y f.1 ,,g ri
Melville is man connected with china
works, and, as such, in IA measure, an
expert"
"Is Mr.. Melville a friend Of yours?"
NO, he Is not. / never saw him until
he came 10 the meeting"
''Do you know" she said, lowering her
voice and bending toward him, that
/ do not like Mr. Mclville's face?"
Kenyon glanced at Melville, who wea
at the other side Of the room, and Edith
went on: "Hou must not look at pcopi.
when / mention them in that way, OF
they will know we are talking about
them. ! do not like his face. Ilc is too
handsome a man, and / DON'T like hand
some men"
Don't you, rcally?' said John.
"Then you ought to-" Edith laughed
softly, II low, musical laugh that was
not heard above the piano din, and was
intended for John alone, and TO hig
ears it was the sweetest music lac had
ever heard.

she said; you were going 20 say that

consulted-in amin an affair of this
llind-George."
There was no time. I acted upon
your own advice-promptly. You are
not angry, Jennie, my dear girl, are

1 ought to be, especially us know only
too well that l held my heart in my
hand the whole time, almost Offering 1t
to you. ] hope you won't treat 1t as
you have treated the sunshade."
He kissed her for answer.
"You see," she said, putting his neck
tie straight, 81 liked you from the very
first, far more than knew at the time.
If you-Pm not trying to justify my
self, you know-but If you had-well--
just coaxed me little yourself, Iwould
never have sent that cable message.
You seemed to give up everything, and
you sent Kenyon to me, and that made
me angry. I expected you to come
back to me, but you never came"
81 was n stupid fool. / always am.
when i get n fair chance"
"Oh, no, you're not, but you do need
some one to take care OF you."
She suddenly held him at arms
length from her.
"You don't imagine for a moment.
George Wentworth, that came here to-
day for-for this"
Certainly not" cried the honest
young man with much indignant
fervor, drawing her again toward him,
"Then it's all right. 1couldn't bear
to have you think such thing, especial
ly-well. I'll tell you why, some day.
But do wish you had title. DO they
ever ennoble accountants in this coun-
try, George?"
mo, they knight only rich FOOLS" .
"Oh, I'm so glad OF that, for your
get rich on the mine, and I'll be Lady
Wentworth yet"
She drew his head down until her
laughing lips touched his.
