CIV and Mrs. Harris were married. He
imagined that the little establishment
was kept up In a way which is not
an one in London, and that
now Dick was safely packed off to In
dia, he could go and make friends with
the loveliest girl he had seen for many
a day, without any more difficulty than
that of starting an acquaintance.
To tell the truth plainly, Lord Ayl-
mer had seen Dorothy with Dick sew
eral months before he carried out the
plan which had got his nephew safe
ly out Of the road, and had left him,
as he believed, poor, conceited, deluded
old man, a fair field; and to tell the
truth further and more plainly still,
Lord Aylmer had fallen desperately in
love with her. So desperately that he
had put himself under great obliga-
tons to his old friend Barry Boynton.
had set my lady's suspicious working,
and had made Dick detest him more
than ever, in order that he might pos
sibly be able by hook or by crook to
find favor in Dorothy's eyes. Poor de-
luded old man, il he had only known
all! If he could only have listened to
the young husband and wife discuss
ing 1.-THE old savage" and have known
all that had it's home in Dorothy's
faithful and tender heart.
But then, you see, he did not, and so
have a longer story to tell you than
| should have had it all gone smoothly
and we'll with u young couple, and
they had started their married life at
the tail Of a marching regiment, on an
increased allowance kindly given them
by a liberal and indulgent uncle.
The old lord had not found 1t an
easy matter to effect an acquaintance
with the young lady in Palace Man
sions; and really, when you think of
1t, 1t is not always an easy thing to
accomplish, especially when there is no
help on the other side! However, this
morning, after having spent many
hours accommodating the block OF
buildings called Palace Mansions, after
having driven slowly up and down
High street, after making many more
or less useless purchases in the High
street shops, and after fretting his i'm
patient old soul into a fever, he made
up his mind that he would go boldly
up to the house, ask for Mrs. Har-
ris," claim a friendship with the de-
parted Dick. and gradually work into
a position of friendliness with the OBJ
ject of his present admiration.
This admirable plan was, however.
destined never TO be carried out-not
because Lord Aylmer changed his
mind, not aabit of it! He carried out
his part of it so far as to order his
carriage for a certain hour, and when
that hour IN get into it and to give
an order TO Charles.
