was doing; he did his best to help her.
wonderful change was coming over
the earl. Not that he was beginning
even in the least to love his wife-that
idea had no, yet occurred to him; but
he was beginning to treat her with
great respect. to recognize the fact that
she was a high-souled woman.
But. although the idea OF love had
not occurred to him, their relations to-
ward each other were fast changing.
The beautiful, gifted wife was fast TAX
ing her place in every respect and in
every way, except in her husbands
heart.
Lady Caraven lost no time when her
husband had once given her permis-
sion to act. He affected to laugh and
feel amused at her zeal and her en-
thusiasm-in reality It shamed him.
He asked her what her first reform was
to be; and she told him all the labor
ers' cottages were to be pulled down.
and fresh houses built for them
houses where the first laws OF health
could be regarded. She wanted good
fresh air. dry walls. pure water. plenty
Of room. She did not rest until the
workmen were busy in removing what
she called the "fever-acres.'
She was to have her own way. yet
she showed the sweetest submission to
her husband. When the architect and
builder waited upon her with plans for
the model cottages. she took them at
once to him. He looked up laughing
ly.
You pay me compliment, Hill
dred," he said, but 1t is your affair
entirely. not mine"
II shall find no pleasure In 1t unless

They discussed them in full detail.
and that conversation had something
so Interesting, so piquant in it. that the
earl was deeply interested.
Thank YOU" said Hildrcd. looking
up with charming smile-"I am
grateful to you for relieving me in my
perplexity.'
.The pleasure has been all on my
side" he answered; and that was the
most gallant speech that the earl had
| yet made to his wife.

| summer days were filled with schemes
and plans for the benefit of others.
It seemed to the earl that he was
really waking up from a long sleep.
The world was wearing different as
pect for him. He had never even given
thought to politics. With the arbi-
trary insolence Of youth he had pro-
nonnced them nonsense-and that was
one OF the things that Sir Raoul most
deplored. Hildred. too. was sorry for
IL. She had been SO successful in other
matters that she ventured at last upon
this 1t was by series of well-direct-
ed questions that she first aroused his
attention. In trying to answer them
he grew interested himself. ''If could
vote" Hildred had fashion of saying,
II should try to urge that measure" !"
At last Lord Caraven awoke to the
consciousness that in the government
of Britain's mighty empire he, too
ought to have voice.

The earl was watching his wife in
tently. He saw the color rising in her
face. he saw the light in her eyes, he
heard the passion, the scorn of
wrong-doing that trembled in her
voice.

He turned to quit the room.
When he reached the door rage over

noble figure Of the young wife.
