CHAPTER III.

1T must be two days since Mollie
came in to see us" said Joyce An
struther one afternoon. looking up
from a mass of tangled wool she was
sorting. Il hope nothing is the. mat
teri"
"Oh, no! I met her this afternoon
responded a deep masculine voice from
the depths of q lounge-chair. "She
was going to the woods to get moss
for the church."
ooh, the Easter decorations! Why
didn't she come for me?"
Reggie got up and crossed the room.
He was "a great big fellow, in a rough
shooting suit, with fair curly hair,
blue eyes and the ~pleasantest face in
the world; while at the present mo-
ment there was a comical smile on it
that would somehow have explained
why he was such a favorite in the reg
iment In which he had the honor to
serve his queen and country; why all
Reyerton, besides his mother and sis
ter, loved him.
"she did suggest it." he said, bland
". I'm fact, she was coming here,
but l said you were busy"
ooh. Reggie!"
Don't get excited. Seeing her face
fall-for there is not much disguise
about Mollie-I stepped into the
breach and went myself"
"Then l hope you did not meet Mad
anne Dubois!" exclaimed Joyce, laugh.
ing. For I feel sure that she would
strongly object to you as an escort"
"Why?" And Reggie leaned against
the wide window-seat. and stroked his
mothers great Persian cat, who was
summing himself in the corner
"Why, you old stupid? Because she
intends Mollie and her fortune for her
adored son, Monsieur Henri Dubois,
and no poaching will be allowed"
.'That little toad?" he muttered in
a curious tone. "Mollie said they were
expecting him today. I say, Joyce, do.
you really think it,"
Mother thinks so,' she replied,
glancing at his rufled face with a
suppressed smile. "And certainly
madame has been most amiable to
Mollie so far. She asked me the other
day what Henri was like, for madame
was always speaking of him, and Kate
quoted him frequently"
"Oh, 1t is preposterous!" declared
the young fellow. However, wait
until she sees him. l shall be very
much astonished II she falls in with
the arrangement then"

"Oh!" calculated Mollie. astounded.
Il don't think, Kate, you knocked be-
fore you anne In"
"Of course not was the calm reply.
This house and everything here Is
mine"
Truly this was a promising begin
ming. The child evidently had been
taught to believe herself a person Of
great Importance, and during the half
hour she spent with Mollie she con-
d~escendingly repeated both her aunt's
and the servants injudictous flattery,
and unconsciously revealed much OF
the inner life Of the house-revela-
ttOns by nc means attractive-4nd
Mollie would have ruthlessly put the
young lady out Of her oom by the
shoulders had she not exercised great
self-command. Yet 1t was very dis
h%eartening. Who had she in the world
to love but Kate. And she craved love
as a flower needs the sun. It would
have made things no better could she
have heard Mrs. Anstruther's COM
ment as she entered her carriage.
II cannot bear to think of that poor
child" she declared, impatiently.
What business has a L'Estrange to
be in the care OF that unprincipled,
underbred woman! She is already
more disliked in Reverton than her
brother was, and that is saying much.
Oh, why was Amy 80 weak"
