Emotions That Overcome Him Are Exper-
isnced but Once.
When the average novel writer
wishes to describe n set of emotions for
which he has no appropriate name,
he usually refers to them MS being
mingled" and this, perhaps, better
than anything else, reflects the condi-
tlon of a man when be first becomes II
father.
Coupled with the feeling of intense
pride that comes to you as one of tho
Interested parties in such momen-
tous event, Is the kindred feeling or
utter insigniiicance you also have,
which acts rs an antidote.
After being ordered out of the room
by the doctor and the trained nurse

of you tell what there is to be ashamed
at-and rs you approach your ofiice
you grow more and more uneasy.
And yet, while there is guilt written
all over your face, there wells up In
your heart n verltable fountain of In

CHAPTER VI.-(Continued.)
Diana, who feared him with an In
tensity that increased as time sped by,
was left more and more alone in the
little set of rooms at Montreal, until
life became dull and hopeless our-
den for her. There was no ray OF IN
terest in her heavy face tonight as sne
asked for her husbands news. Paul
on the other hand. was quivering with
unrepressed excitement.
IT have got a fortune in my fingers,
DIANA fortune, tell you'll" he SAID
jubilantly. as he drew up his chair TO
the little round supper table, from
which Diana had risen to greet MIN.
Paul had so often brought home
fortunes that seemed at his fingers
ends-fortunes that crumpled into dust
ere they were grasped-that she 1eit
little or no interest in them now. She
was growing tired Of the whole thing,
particularly as she was now cut on
from all participation in her husbands s
more intellectual ventures.
II can't see what good It's going TO
do you," she said at last. when he had
explained. 81 guess this girl amt go
ing to die OFF to suit you, Paul, and you
can't live on that bit of paper"
What fools women are!" savagely
broke in Paul. And his dark face took
on an ugly look as he remembered tnat
men, likewise, could be fools, when
they saddled themselves with such
burdens as that Of the heavy, detected
woman opposite him.
I'm going to Europe tomorrow
to England" he said shortly.
Diana looked up from her pie. shall
you be gone long this time. Paul?"
II can't quite say" slowly said the
scientist. ''It will depend on many
things. But promise you, Diana, that
l shan't come back until I've got this
in my clutch in hard cash." Pauls
fingers played with the sheet OF paper
outspread before him.
Diana Andsell shivered, and her
white, fair face grew still more pallid
in hue. That this man. her husband,
was capable of the vilest scheming TO
win his way she already knew. Moth
ing was sacred from such an arch
plotter. And as she furtively watched
his frowning, dark face while he pored
over the handwriting before him, d.
ana told herself half fearfully that
Paul Andsell would keep his promise.
He would return to her with the for
tune, or he would never come back at
all.

They Have Suffered Terribly In tho South
African War
The habit Of docking horses tails Is
held by humane persons in England to
have been one cause of the large loss
Of horses In the English army in South
Africa. The regular army horses have.
their natural tails. but ns tho volunteer
soldiers are called for In times Of war
so volunteer horses are drafted, and In
England the fashion outside of tho
army Is to dock the tails of horses.
The chief scourge of the animals in
the African campaign has been the
flies, and against these pests tho
docked horses had no protection. The
agony they suffered contributed un-
doubtedly TO the heavy mortality
among the animals.

Were at home now. Gladdy!s We're
on our own land at last Welcome
dear wife, to Temple-Dene!"
Gervis bent forward and lifted In his
the little hands lying listlessly on
Gladys lap. Perhaps. II they two
had been alone, he would have kissed
his welcome as well as said 1t; but they
were not alone. From corner OF the
roomy old carriage a pair OF dark rest
less eyes roved over the snow-covered
landscape. va ado .. b.
GLADLY, at her husbands words. lift
ed her head to look out also. and 1t
was startling to note how she had al
tered. There was a peculiarly wasted
appearance and an unutterable listless-
ness not natural In one SO young. 1t
needed distinct effort for her to sur
vey her new home; to speak she made
no attempt. Gervis drew back disap-
pointed.
Haven't you a word of praise. my
dear, for your own homer he asked.
Its all very nice, but 1t is SO cold.
and I never liked pine trees" GLADLY
forced herself to say. And she shiv-
cred under her Partisan wraps and her
costly furs. "They always make me
shudder, they are so gloomy" she add
ed piteously.
She's fearfully nervous" thought
Gervis.
But there was no sign of 1t when
GLADLY stepped out of the carriage and
into Lady James widely welcoming
arms.
A self-possessed.' wistful-eyed little
bride It was who lifted her cold cheek
for her mother-inlaw's kiss; n dainty
figure, in truth, in its costly furs.
But the face under the green velvet
toque, with its diamond buckle and
nodding feathers, was not the face of
shy, happy bride. and for a moment
Lady Jane stared. half puzzled.
Then Gervis was clasped In his
mothers arms and held tight. II her
ladyship had soft corner In her
worldly, ambitious heart 1t was for her
boy, the son who had done so much
for herself and the old home.
The bride stood apart, pathetic
little figure in her momentary loneli-
ness. Leila, who had been shrinking
behind the person of Lady Jane, quick
ly noticed it, forced herself to go for
ward.
May I bid you welcome? I am
Leila. Perhaps Gervis has told you
that his cousins, Sybil and I. have lived
here since we were almost babies
Syb, at least. was a baby"
Leila's winsome, tender face was
bent close to GLADLY. who was slightly
shorter in stature than she. Her low.
rich voice. with It's caressing note.
stirred something in Gladys heart.
and she moved eagerly forward-so
eagerly that their lips met in cling
ing kiss before Leila had quite made
up her mind to greet the bride with
anything warmer than a stiif hand
shake.
II didn't know there was any Leila" "
said GLADLY. in her sweet. childish
tones. "Gervis did not tell me. But
am SO glad! Please take me away
somewhere. Let US go together. you
and /, am SO weary!"
Leila was startled. Go away to-
gether. the bride and she! 1t sounded
bewilderingly strange.
And-and had Gervis forgotten her
so utterly that her name had never
been uttered to his newly made wife?

CHAPTER VII.

It was Christmas Eve, and true old
fashioned Christmas weather.
The country round Temple-Dene
was glittering with hoar-frost. every
tree shining and sparkling in the sun.
every pond and stream and pool fast
bound in ice.
The low, red sun of the afternoon
was shining full on the old house, sur
rounded by the frost-silvered pines.
and its many windows twinkled a
brilliant welcome to the expected heir
and his bride.
There had been a great stir, sim
mer of wild excitement, under the old
roof during the weeks preceding
Christmas.
Lady Jane had done wonders in
freshening up the tarnished and faded
glories of the home. She had free
hand, to be sure, in her wholesale i'm
provements; for could not Gervis af-
ford to pay any amount Of bills that
might ensue?
"If could only rouse up poor dear
Francis, before they come home" the
busy lady said, energetically.
But the master of Temple-Dene was
the sole member of the house indiffer-
ent to the advent Of the heir and his
bride. Amid the turmoil OF prepara-
tion he sat listless and silent in his
library, 1.-The world forgetting, by the
world forgot"
If 1t had not been for Leila Des-
mond, it would have Jared Ill for the
stricken man. The gentle-natured
girl, with heart full of womanly in
stincts, felt irresistibly drawn to the
lonely, silent man. He and she had q
grief in common, and 1t bound them
together. 1t was only at the sound of
Leila's sweet voice, and the touch OF
Leila's tender hand. that Francis Tenn
tpleton ever stirred from his trance of
misery.
But even Leila could not make the
unhappy man comprehend that Tenn
ple-Dene was saved. nor could he take
in the meaning Of the light-hearted
preparations going on around.
I'm glad, glad, that Uncle Francis
doesn't care, that he won't care!" said
little Syb almost viciously to her elder
sister.
The misshapen girl looked on almost
as gloomily at the hurry and fuss as
did the master of the house. She
clenched her thin little fingers every
time the bland. self-satisfied tones. so
new in Lady James voice, fell on her
ear.
Little Syb"-Leila turned her visit
full eyes on the girl-"it hurts me when
you speak sol"
Hurts you? Oh, I could beat you,
Leila, If didn't love You so dreadful
ly that 1 should kill anyone who struck
you! Hurt you? Oh, why were you
made SO good and 1 made so bad? All
the time 1 am wishing that some ac-
cident will happen to those two-a
shipwreck or a railway collision-and
that they will never, never reach Tenn
ple-Dene!"
"syb!" again cried Leila. And this
time she gathered the distorted little
figure on her lap, and laid her own
soft round cheeks against the passion
white lips. What has come to you,
