borrowed the name from me when he
went away. Did you never hear Of

Craig Thompson. who had crossed
the room and was examining the book
shelves, dropped with a sudden lash
one OF the books that he had taken
! down.
Il beg your pardon" he said and
stopped and replaced the book.
Darlington" murmured Lisle not
! needing the interruption. which. how
ever. did not escape the keen eyes aud
shrewd surmise of the lawyer. Then
my true name is Lisle Harrington. or Is
the name Lisie also false
No: that name was given TO you In
this room when you were a year old
You had not been named. 1t was nee
essary that you should be supplied
with one In order that +, might be in.
serted In the Will Your fathers moth

| also because the name Is not Indicative
OF sex you were called Lisle."

-"can you tell me about my mother"
/ Yes" replied the lawyer, He might

/ feeling he manifested. and yet he must
! have realized the heart eagerness with
which LiSle asked the question.
| "Win you do SO. Mr.. Maxwell?
, would like TO have you tell me as much
as you can about her without question
on my part"
| Il will tell you all that II Is necessary
1 80, /, r.
Information you require think 1t best
that you should obtain from her In per
son."
Lisle leaped 10 her feet In great ex
citement Her agitation was SO strong
that for a moment she could not utter
a word. AT last. however. she sank
back upon the chair and more TO her
self than TO the lawyer murmured:
She lives! My mother lives! Thank
God"
Yes" said the lawyer calmly, APP
parently unconscious OF the effect pro-
duced by his statement. your mother
! lives. Her home is not very far from
/ here will give you the address when
| you leave me to go to her, which sup
pose is your intention, but
MY intention!'
but hope that you will hear me
| through first. | am very glad that you
are here and that 1t is your evident In
| tention to atone as far as you can for
the great wrong that she has suffered,
| want TO say to you that your father
| did his wife deep injustice, aud in
consequence she has been great suf-
ferer. But she has borne Ii bravely
and without permitting the world to
| know OF her sorrow. She Is still
| beautiful woman. she enjoys good
health. and she has never despalred OF
your return. She has always insisted
that your father would send you to ber
when he saw death beckoning TO him.
| She has never looked for his return.
Now, Miss Barrington"-Lisle started
at the name so calmly uttered-"the
hour is still early. AS your guardian,
regard II as my duty to advise you to
go to your mother at once. Such busl-
ness as we have to transact can be at
tended to Mt another time. This gen
tleman, | have no doubt, Will accom-

"Yes, ut once-at once! | thaLk you,
sir, In my mothers name as well as i'll
mine. VIII you so now. CraisF
Ready. I.isle," replied Craig. but be
did not turn his head. and In another
moment they were In the street, aud
the card upon which Daniel Maxweii
had written the address was tightly
held In Lisles firm grasp.
The distance that they had TO travei
was not great. and II was soon cover
ed. and during the walk not WORD
was spoken between them until they
had mounted the steps which led TO tue
door of the house wherein Lisie was
born. Then Craig Thompson put OUT
one hand and detained his companion.
"Wait, Llsle" he said. There Is
, something that want to say to you be-
fore YOU ring the bell. 1t isn't fair tbat
Won should have too many sudden sur
nrses in one night. and | want to pre-
