The old man seated himself q NOM
ent and stared before him into vacancy.
But presently recovering himself he
rose and without further words took
Edith's hand, felt her pulse, listened to
her heart beat and asked questions.
After all it's only the malady OF the
age-nerves," he said, nothing more"
His words were translated for Lady
BysshesS who could only partly follow
him in his own tongue. The system is
naturally strong" he said, and at her
she ought not to have her nerves sha-
ken"
1t was explained to him that she
had received a severe shock.
"A shock" he repeated interroga-
tievly.
L was present when a life was en-
dangered,' Edith said.
TT was some one you cared for?"
1T was some n knew-the
counts SON." h said.
He attempted suicide?" Zoffani said.
while a quick flash of his eyes search
ed hers and read their answer.
1T is not generally known that he
did"
but why, why?" the old man asked
With sudden excitement.
Forgive me If | cannot tell you,"
she answered.
MY dear young lady. as I am old
enough to be your grandfather, let me
ask you one question. Do you intend
to marry him?"
NO." Edith replied after a seconds
pause.

He took some time in making UP a
mixture from the contents Of bottles
ranged on a table beside him. This he
gave her with directions for use, recon-
mending simple fare, outdoor exercise,
and early hours. Il will send you back
to England quite well-yes, quite re-

Edith readily promised, and he led
them down a flight of narrow stone
steps from which a portal opened to the
road, where he bade them goodbye,
smiling at them as they departed.
He is a singular man." Sasari said,
as they drove away.
Il have great faith in him." Edith
said.
my dear" her aunt commented,
faith is half the battle in a case like
yours"
IF so, the other half is Skill" she
answered. 81
With slow and meditative steps the
old man mounted the stone stairway
until he came TO the room where his
visitors had been. Here he sat down
absorbed in thought, his eyes absently
fixed on the ioor until his servant stood
before him.

4 must soon, very soon.' the girl
said eagerly.
But I hope you VIII come to us for
the new year" Lady Bysshe suggested.
1T will be very pleasant If o can
manage it."
Nothing will make me happier"
Perhaps Edith has not told you that
she was born on the first of January.
She came as a New Years gift. Her
second name is Theodore, the gift OF
God.
@she is Gods best gift to me-" Geof-
frey replied ~fervently.
On her return home, she and her aunt
were met at the Balwash station by
Max.
1t was the first time Edith had seen
him since the morning he had attempt
ed his life, and this meeting, carrying
her suddenly back to that event made
her feel nervous and embarrassed. He,
however. had no such feelings, but
greeted them as confidently N with
as little awkwardness as If nothing un-
pleasant had happened.
The gates of the lodge We're thrown
open, while within them stood the
keeper, his wife, and children in their
best clothes, they waving holly boughs
while the parents curtesied and smiled
as Edith, putting her head out Of the
window. nodded to them and answered
ltlSiT nOiIlcly SIcGNiubS.
The carriage had no sooner cached
the great entrance than the hall door
was thrown open and half a dozen
dogs came bounding down, barking in
wild delight as hey recognized their
long-absent mistress, jumping upon her
and oyerturning each other in their
frantic endeayors to claim her special
notice and receive her caress. On the
steps stood her s~tepfather, his hands
OYfapdaH I'm her and hahfnd him NNaTl
a double row Of servants. headed by the
stately housekeeper n the important
butler, each smiling and bowling, and
all anxious to express their pleasure
at her return.
She put her arms around the counts
neck and kissed him, her eyes brim-
ming with happy tears, I'M then spoke
to each of the servants, who seemed
to her like old friends. They had hung
holly and mistletoe in great punches
against the dark oak panels and from
the massive rafters of the hall, whose
oak-with it's polish of centuries-and
whose armor reflected the leaping
flames Of the wood fires burning IN
open hearths between huge dogs of
silver.
And in her own room she found the
flowers she loved best, fresh from the
greenhouses and deliciously odorous.
They, no less thar her bookshelf fay-
orites, selected for the intercourse of
quiet hours-seemed TO welcome her
home, with a language eloquent of
themselves and understood by her
alone.
At night. before going to bed, she
knelt beside 1t, to thank God for the
happiness of which her heart was full
TO overlooking: to ask that she might
be made worthy IL it, and to pray that
she and those dear to her might be
defended from all iii.
AS she was still on her knees, a chord
of music suddenly burst upon her ears,
the first chord OF a quaint and ancient
Christmas carol-rich in harmony, de-
votionally joyous, heart-stirring, up
lifting and teeming with associations.
Transfixed and rapturous h listened
to the village choir singing under her
windows, for the hymn seemed to her
exalted enses like a REPETITION OF her
prayer and the promise OF its fulfil
ment.

CHAPTER xXIv.
NEW YEARS EVE.

1t had been wild ana wet on the last
day OF the year when Godfrey Bysshe
set out for Knowlesworth hall; but
toward the afternoon the wind had fall
len, though the rain continued heavy
and drear. The weather, however, by
no means affected his spirits, which
were highly wrought al the prospect OF
being soon with her whom he loved
with all the strength of an effection
to which maturity added force.
With the collar of his fur coat up
turned round his ears, he sat in a COM
Portable carriage whose windows, dim
with wet, shut out the sight of sodden
fields and dripping trees, of towns that
were TieiaTiCifoiy under tire Uontinueu
downpour, and of cherries stations.
While apparently reading one of the
pile of illustrated papers with which he
provided himself, in reality his thoughts
ran forward to the moment Of his meet
ing with Edith, when he might take her
hands I'm his, hear her words OF well
come and look into her eyes.
When his rain came into Balwash
station he started to his feet in happy
impatience, but was instantly tugged
back by a steel chain that, attached
at one end to his waist. had the other
fixed to a small japanned box that rest
ed beside him, which for the instant
arm he got out of the carriage, and as
he expected, saw of the hall foot
men awaiting him.
The man saluted' and made a motion
as il to relieve him OF his burden, when
