Henrietta, impatiently.
"Not many" he replied, tersely.
Henrietta stared at him as he left the
room.
Standish returned to his chambers or
his way to the Foreign Office, and found
a telegram from Briefly:
Body cast up by tide on western spit
Shall do all that is needful. Come as soor
as you can"
Dispatching this by a messenger to Miss
Oakeley, Standish perforce continued on
his way, that he might clear off sons
work, and make what arrangements he
could to attend the funeral Of his unfor.
tunate friend.

He stopped, sileneed and astonished by
the aspect of Standish, his stern face, and
the sight of his hand closed and resting
ON the table, quite irresponsible to Eyer

CHAPTER XVI.

1t was all over. The mortal remains OF
poor Callander were laid to rest beside
those of the wife he loved too well.
The only members of his family who fol.
lowed him to the grave were a couple of
distant cousins. Mrs. Callander was in
a strange state of nervous depression.
Henrietta in Paris, Dorothy laid up with
a severe attack of low fever, Egerton-
40 one knew where. OF all the pleasant
party that used to assemble Mt The Knoll,
Standish was the sole representative.
A few days after he had once more
settled to the ordinary routine of his life,
he paid a visit to the lawyer at his re-
quest, for Col. Callander, a few days be-
fore his unexpected death, had by a codi-
ell revoked his appointment of Egerton as
executor, and named Standish In his
/ place, requesting that so long as Dorothy
was unmarried she should remain with
his children.
After examining the will Standish left
the lawyers and walked toward his own
lodgings in somewhat deep thought.
He was uneasy about Dorothy, who had
not left her room since the day he had
broken the news Of C~allander's disappear
ance to her. She was very weak, Mrs,
McHugh reported, and apparently quite
content to lie still, without a desire for
anything.
'What an g it is since I've seen her,
and nurse says she will not be downstairs
again for three or four days" Then his
thoughts wandered to- Dillon. His 81

When Standish reached Princes Place
next morning he found Dorothy alone at
the breakfast table; she was looking a
little brighter than usual, and rose to re-
ceive him with a welcoming smile.
81 am SO glad you nave come, dear
Paul! | an dying to hear how you and
Herbert met. If he is friends with you
and trusts to you, he may recover some
thing of his old frame of mind"
Eyes, Dorothy, l will tell you every
thing" returned Standish, holding her
hand half-unconsciously in both his own.
"But come into the study; we shall be
undisturbed! Have you finished your
BREAKFAST"
"Oh! yes, quite-Henrietta has a head
ache, SO she did not come down; but she
wants to see you before you CO."
While Dorothy spoke she led the way
into the study; a small fire was burning,
aud the window was open upon a near
little garden, where the sunshine of al
carly spring morning seemed to promise
q future crop of grass and flowers.
"It Is cold still" said Dorothy, closing
the window and turning to Standish, wh'
stood still and silent; something in hi
face. in his compa~s sionate eyes, struck he
heart.
"Paul-dear Paul-how dreadfully j
you look! Something has happened! Some
thing to Herbert! Tell me at once"

Fortunately l got the matter settled be-
fore the news of the Colonel's death reach
ed her." Dillon paused, but Standish did
not speak. Had he opened his lips, he
felt sure his words would not have been
complimentary. After waiting with ex-
pectant eyes, Dillon resumed once more:
81 thought it right to tell you this, and
as | am just going to start for Australia
on a curious lay-to let you know that
all's square. l needn't tell you, as l am
a man of honor, that you may make your
minds easy, the family secret is safe with
me-"
With a nod, Dillon left the room, and by
an instructive action, Standish threw up
the window as IL to breathe purer air.

Standish, at his wits end to draw tears
