Happily it is not often that titled
women find themselves in such straits
as did Lady Marion Grant on the
death of her father. She was barely
10, and the earl had left her penniless,
having lost his whole fortune gambling
at Monte Carlo.
| He had quarreled with every member
of his family; he had changed his
name, and, in selfish anger, had refused
to tell even his only child what his
true name was.
That he was u peer he admitted. that
she was entitled to the prefix of
Lady he allowed. but she knew that
Grant vas not her real name. nor did
her father leave amy papers that en-
lightened her on the subject of her
birthrght.
There she was, a girl with few kind
friends who knew her as Miss Grant.
and were ready to give her a home
tin after she had recovered from the
4 first shock of her grief; but then she
must go out into the world and find
for herself
One thing at least her father had
done for his motherless child; he had
given her an excellent education. Sine

both the piano and violin. and was.
besides. thoroughly we'll read.
Mrs. Harmon. the kind friend at
whose house she was staying, strongly
advised her To answer amy likely add
vertisements for Il finishing governess
for girls. though. as she said to her
husband. her Very youth and beauty
would go against her obtaining such II
post.
Every morning the girl would anx
fously scan the papers. but she found
that when she applied i'm person for an
engagement her youth was always
against her
Well, something must he done, so
she resolved To assume n middle aged
appearance. and persuaded her friend
to lend her some money to buy Il brown
wig, i'm which streaks of grey hair We're
discernibe. This. with the addition
of pair of spectacles. Immediately put
quite twenty years on to her age and
in this disguise she sailed forth one
morning i'm answer to Il letter request
Ing her to call and see Lady Worthing-
ton in person
Terribly nervous, lest her trick
Should be discovered. and at the same
time feeling like child playing II prac-
teal joke, Miss Grant rang the bell of
one of the houses in Park lame
1 1t was Immediately opened by the
4 footman. who informed the butler that
1T WAS another lady come To see her
lIadyship about The situation of gov

the golden curs that lay near his lips.
"But Marion, do YOU really not know
what your fathers title was; have you no

None" she answered. "only these three
brooches | now wear as hcirlooms.
Scarcely Were the words opened than
two men entered the conservatory. talk
ing in low agitated tones. On seeing that
one of them was the Earl of Montague for
whom he entertained a strong dislike,
I.ancclot drew his betrothed into an al
cove shaded by huge palm tree. and
laid his finger on his lips to enforce 81
lence.
II tell you. Castor. it must he the girl.
how else could she have those brooches?
You know they have always gone to the
eldest daughter of the head of the house
to come back to the family at her mar
riage, or the coming of age of the daugh-
ter of the next succession.
"Thcsc brooches have been searched for
everywhere. l know that my uncle had
them in his possession when he left Eng

identity that We have never been able to
find out what name he assumed. He may
indeed be living now, for all we can prove
to the contrary"
And what is il YOUR intention to do"
asked the man addressed as CASTOR.
