she did at least reach the conclusion that
immediate action was necessary; that she

go to Harry, and do the one terrible ;hiag
which alone suited, met and could save the
situation.
In his quiet room in Duke street Harry
was working out some details of the pro-
posed building in Blinkhampton. liver was
to come to town next day, and Harry
thought that the more entirely ready they
seem to be to go on the more eager Iver
would be to stop them. 1t was just q
o'clock and couple of quiet hours stretch

She opened her lips to speak: she was
within an ace of telling ham that, II this
and that went well, he would have so as
sured and recognized position that none
could throw stones at him. d1er words died
away in face of the peremptory finality of
his words and the bitter anger on his face.
She sat silent and forlorn, wondering what
had become of her resolve and her inspira-
ton.

said moment later. ii His tone was milder.
You can't deny it, he insisted. Look
me in the face and deny 1t If you can. I
know you too WELL
For some minutes later she sat still. Then
she got up with a desolate air. Every
thing seemed over: the great offer, with
it's great scene, had come to very little.
Without attempting to bid him any fare
well, she moved toward the door slowly
and drearily.
She was arrested by his voice-a new
voice, very good -natured. rather chatting.
Are you doing anything particular to-
night?" he asked.
She turned round; he was smiling at her
in an open, but friendly. amusement.
No she murmured. I'm going back

Their eyes met Gradually Cecily's light
ened into a sparkle as her lips bent and
her white teeth showed a little. She was
almost laughing outright as she answered
readily, without much as a show Of
hesitation or surprise, Yes.
Nothing else can be so ample as mon
osyllable sometimes. If it had been Har-

should have Blent but where they should
have dinner. Nothing In his manner show

CHAPTER XX,
A Trfstram Way-A Specimen.

Harry Tristram had led Lady Evenswood
to believe that he would inform himself
of his cousins state of mind or even open
direct communication with her. He had
done nothing to redeem this implied prom
Use, although the remembrance of it had not
passed out of his mind. But he was disin-
cltned to fulfill 1t. In the first place, he
was much occupied with the pursuits and
interests of his new life; secondly, he saw
no way to approach her In which he would
not seem disa agreeable reminder; he might
even be taken for a beggar or at least
regarded as a reproachful supplicant When
he thought about her-which was very
often Just now-it was not to say that he
would never meet her again; he liked her
too We'll and she was too deeply bound IN
with the association of his life for that:
but 1t was to decide to postpone the meet
ing. and to dream perhaps of some progress
or turn of events which should present him
with his opportunity and invest their re-
newed acquaintance with an atmosphere as
unusual and as stimulating as that in
which their first days together had been
sIent. Cecily's possible unhappness did
not come home to him. After ALL she had
eIertything and he nothing-and even he
was not insupportably happy.

InsensibIy the major began to find him
rather pleasant. not a man he would ever

able than he had been at Blent, SO Harry's
somewhat audaCiouS reference was re-

Duplay.
Yes assented Harry almost gleefully
That's what l mean. Only this time it

Well, goodbye. Write to Sloyd-unless

minded him: stung to sudden malice.
