to your cousins own servant. shall
be quite anxious to hear how she goes
on-your cousin, mean. l wonder If
you would send me a line now and
again to Aylmer's Field, near Norwich?
should be so much obliged"
"oh, certainly I will let you know;
it is very good of you to be so inter-
ested," Esther answered.
"Ah! that is good Of you. 1 am an
old man now, and it is the distressing
habit of old people to worry themselves
about everything. l shall worry more
or less about your cousin until know
she is about again."
"Oh, you mustn't do that" said
Esther, laughing. Then you are 60
ing out of town."
Yes, l am going to Aylmer's Field
for few days" he replied. Blythe
bye, 1 shall be charmed to place my
carriage at your disposal during my
absence-for as long as you like after
ward, for the matter of that" he add
ed.
THAT is really very kind of YOU"
said Esther, butt seems rather TAX
ing an advantage of you"
mot at all-not the least in the
world" put in the old lord, quickly. 81
will tell them to send round every
morning for orders"
He went hastily away after this,
chuckling at the success of his visit.
81 thought she was going to be diff
cult" his thoughts ran; but she's
woman, and, after all, the same bats
catch all Of them-all of them. There
are two things a woman never seems
able to resist-diamonds and a really
smart turnout"
He sat still for few minutes after
they turned into the High street, then
called to Charles.
Charles, drive slowly from here to
st. Georges Hospital" he said.
Eyes, m lord" answered Charles.
Never knoo m take such heap of
trouble before" murmured Charles to
the coachman.
Amt it wonderful" returned that
functionary, with wink.
The old lord was in luck's way, for
just as they reached the corner of the
hospital Amelia Harris came out of the
big building. She saw him in a mo-
ment, and Lord Aylmer called out for
the carriage to stop. The carriage drew
up close beside the curb, and Amelia
Harris stood quite close to the door, so
that not a word of her conversation
could be heard by the two stiff and SOL
emn figures who sat with their heads
carefully turned away from the wicked
old man behind them.
"Well?" he said
WELL" she said, looking at him in
a hard, dry kind of way, have you
been there?"
Eyes"
"H'm-nice little surprise fo5 you,
should fancy"
"oh, a devil Of surprise" irritably.
Amelia Harris laughed cynically.
"Ah, I've been wondering all the morn
ing what you'd think Well" sharply,
docs it make any difference, or are
you going on, because If it does"
"Well?"
well, I'll send on this telegram and
give her this letter, Poor little fool!
she has been worrying about the In
dian mail all the morning"
you will do nothing of the kind
of course l am going on" cried Lord
Aylmer, sharply, under his breath.
"Give them to me-what are they?
There-that will do. Go back-take a
cab-and look after my interests as If
notwithstanding had not come at
all to interfere with my plans. II any
thing Of Importance occurs write to
me at Aylmer's Field. If you need to
use the telegraph, be very careful how
you word your message"
ION the old plan, l supposed" she
asked.
Eyes; now go. Charles. to my club"
