1uatS right: thought the little TEL

TROJAN
HE was In great danger yesterday, but
the night was better, and now he breathes
much more freely"
And now, hope you will take some
care Of yourself, Dorothy! You look as
II You had not slept for a week"
mot SO long as that, but should like
. nice quiet sleep without any Dreams"
and she sighed.
Are you still % frightened at night :"
asked Standish, looking down into her
eyes with a glance SO wistfully compass
siOnate that Dorothy felt the delightfal
sense OF bis affectiopate sympathy send a
thrill of pleasure shiverine through her.
No. am less frightened, but dream
continuously"
Il have left a visitor with Miss Oake-
ley" resumed Staudish, placing n chair
for Dorothy, while he stood by the high
fender. "A visitor who wishes to see
you"
Dorothy looked up with . startled ex-
preston. "Who is it?'
"Egerton; l met him just now by acci-
dent, and he came on here with me-"
Dorothy rose, and came beside Sta ndish
before she replied; then she said in low,
rapid voice: Il cannot see him. Paul You
will not ask me. 1t is Quite-Quite inl2ossi-
ble"
Il shall not ask you to do any thing
you don't like. Dorothy, but later on you
really must get over this prejudice You
must see Egerton some day"
II will try" she said with a kind Of
slight shiver, "but you must give me
time"
He was very fascinating at first" said
Standish with a slight smile II reme,n-
ber your comparing him to various heroes
let me see-Don John of Austria. Sir
Philip Sidney, and"
''Oh, do not talk of that time, Paul:

hand, II will not tease you to do any
thing you do not like; promise to come
for a long walk with me tomorrow, il
the boy continues to hold his ground
You must not play tricks with your
health; you are not exactly a giant, my
dear ward"
Dorothy. made no reply; she stood very
still, her hand in that of Standish, while
he looked with grave, thoughtful consid-
Grafton at the slight girlish figure, the half
aveEteu, patnetlc lace, the sweet Qulv-
ering mouth. 1t was sad to see the traces
of sorrow on 50 young a creature, espe-
cially as there was some element IN her
sorrow which he could not quite make
out. Standish sighed a short, deep sigh,
at which Dorothy started from her
thoughts, and withdrew her hand.
Il suppose l must Co." said Standish.
'If 1t is fine tomorrow, will you be ready

round the gardens"
Every well, thank you. You are very
good to me, Paul. Can l ever show you
how grateful I amr
Don't talk Of gratitude. There can be
no question Of such a thing between u.s."
"Good-by for the present, Paul-till to-
morrow"
Dinner passed heavily enough. What
ever subject Standish started Egerton
let drop, though occasionally he seemed
to spur himself to talk. 1t appeared to
Standish the longest meal Of which he
had ever partaken. The waiter had plac-
ed the dessert before them when a tele-
gram was handed to Standish, who,
glapcing over the Mnes, Of which there
were several, exclaimed with some excite
ment: by heaven! we may get . clew
