CHAPTER III.

Edward Champley. who has taken
up his stand beside the piano in ex-
pectation OF a musical treat, does his
best to look cheerful under the intiic-
tion; but his most determined efforts
at politeness cannot prevent a faint
CLEAN OF hope stealing into his eyes
at the end of each variation. Even
once he ventures on a rapturou5
"Thanks!''-it Is when. to his horror,
he sees minor key arrangement OF
the air looming up before him; but
Shell only glances up for moment,
and says quietly
"Oh. I haven't half finished yeti"
whereupon her victim offers an apol-
ogy and smiles a sickly smile, as he
vainly tries to count how many more
pages there are to get through.
And, whilst Edward Is enduring his
self-inhicted martyrdom at one end Of
the room. his brother Robert is being
fiattered. petted and little bit lee
tured at the other end by Ruby.

away from Champley House SO lons!'
she says rep-oachfully.
Robert Champley looks at her for a
few moments before making any an
swer. Unfortunately for Ruby's
scheme. he is n man who generally
stops to think before he speaks, even
on trivial subjects.

IL 1t hadn't been for the children" he
says at length. with sigh.
Ruby catches the echo Of that sigh
and is all sympathy.
mo one knows better than l how
very painful your return home must
have been to you" she remarks. in a
low and almost faltering tone, whilst
her white eyelids veil her eyes in
seemingly sad retrospect.
| Again he looks at her; then some
what coldly gives utterance to the one
word, "Thanks!" as II she had made
him n speech which, though distaste-
full, must be responded to in some way
or other.
81 hope you found the dear children
all that you pictured them?" pursues
Ruby softly.
"Yes-oh. yes: they are merry little
crickets. and seem just about as happy
as the day is long!" answers Mr..
Champley. whilst softening smile re-
lakes his somewhat stern mouth.
ut is a terrible charge for you,"
observes Ruby, her tone and looks
full of the most profound pity.
How so?" asks her companion, In
evident surprise.
Ruby feels somewhat taken aback.
"Oh, 1t always seems to me such an
impossible thing for n man to know
about children's wants or ways!" she
replies, with a little head-shake.
Robert Champley gives a slight
laugh.
II assure you. both Bob and Meg
have neither of them any scruples
about expressing their wants." he says
gaily; "and, as you know, l am very
fortunate in my old housekeeper, Mrs.
Tolley-she is a perfect mother to the
whole lot OF us. The babies have a
treasure of nurse, too--a sensible
middle-aged woman; SO on the whole

cally; land. besides, your children

do you think so?" asks Mr..
Champley in a pondering tone. THAT
is what have been rather afraid of
myself. Bob is just seven. and poor
little Meg five"

for a few minutes. m when he re-
turned ne found La Rieu weltering in
his own blood. with a frightful cash in
his throat extending from one ear

AS it's name implies, the torpedo is
fired into the air, instead of being shot
across the surface of h water. In
