CHAPTER V.

1t had been a winter of bitter cold
and biting frost, and the spring was
late and unpleasant. Philip had
passed the time with an aching smart
at his heart, that now was settling
to dull, gnawing pain. He had loved
Lalla with such intense passion, such
sudden. fierce ardor. In that short
halcyon period she had grown to be
almost a part of himself, and now he
must pass his life without her. oh.
the orderings of fate were cruel!
He would do his best to forget her
he must. And, as an aid to this laud-
able end, he invariably, whenever he
passed through Ralford Woods, visit
ed the scene of their first meeting.
To-day the east wind was blowing
its worst; still Philip turned aside, as
he had done so many times before.
But this time there was some one
seated on the root which had been the
cause Of Lalla's accident. The some
one was woman, who lifted her
dropping head as a twig snapped under
Philips foot.
1t was Lalla. Lalla, pale and sad,
and with dark trimmed eyes.
Your she cried, rising. 'Why do
you come here."
why do you:" was the counter
query.
Because must" she burst out.
"Oh, Philip, Philip If you do not mind
for yourself, have mercy on me. You
want a city practice-you said you
did, at least. Buy one with my money.
Use It for what purpose you will, but.
oh, don't let It stand between us and
happiness. love you. Philip, and is
my love to be of less account than
my money p
He stood speechless, moHonless.
Answer me, Philip" she pleaded;
SAY you love me still, say you will do
what ask you-what beg you to
dov'
Her hands touched his own timidly,
and at the con act sudden culver
thrilled him from head to foot. He
caught the girl in a fleece embrace;
he rained hungry, passionate kisses on
her cheeks and her lips.

you? We must be married soon."
I'VE must not. have trousseau to

"Oh, bother the trousseau. That's
soon bought The home is ready, dar-
ling-ready and waiting for its mis-
tress."
"But, Philip, / have told you l can't
consent to live in the country. You
must secure a practice in the big CITY,"
Philip looked rueful
'As soon as l can. DEAREST. don't

save all we can, and then it sholl be
as you wish"
LaIIa smiled brightly.
1--WE will discuss it when you come
up to see me. Mind, you must not be
longer than two days"
But 1t was a week before Philip was
free to seek his ladylove. Mr.. Har-
courts seizure was more serious than
any previous one, and Philip could not
leave him till he was out Of immediate
danger. Then as fast as an express
train could take him lie hurried to the
bustllng city.
When his cab stopped at the address
Lalla had given him there were three
or four carriages waiting at the door.
Evidently her employers IRE very
fashionable people," thought Philip, as
he alighted and paid the driver. Moth
ing definite as to LaIla'r position had
ever been ssid, but he lad the impress
sion that she earned her livelihood as
governess.
He asked for Miss Halding, and his
name was passed from one obsequious
servant to another, till at last the door
Of large, sumptuously furnished par
lor was throw 4 wide. and "pr. Ham
mond" was announced in stentorian
tones.
There were many people in the big
apartment, but he clearly saw Lalla as
she rose TO greet him, her hand out
stretched and radiant emile on her
conntenance.
She was pouring out tea. She gave
him a cup, and q footman handed him
cake. He ate and drank like man In
a dream.
Then one by one the visitors took
their leave, and Lalla and Philip were
alone.
she came up to him then and laid
her hands on his shoulders, and lifted
her lips for the anticipated kiss.
.Oh, my love. my lover she muir

The new Prime Minister is Of an
open character and of a transparent
honesty, declares the Vienna Tage-
blatt, referring to Sir Henry Camp

is probable that under him the British

that this tranquility will be beneficial

The question, What Constitutes the
Perfect Woman? is entertainingly dis
cussed by correspondent in Harper's
Weekly. In a discussion reported by
this correspondent the dispute turned
upon the four requisite qualities TO be
found in the finest type of woman.
These qualities were named as essen
tial: 1. A sense Of religion; @ An af-
fectionate disposition; 3. A high rev.
erence for maternity; and 4. Docility
of temperament. On the other hand,
1t was held by another that beauty,
high spirits and intelligence should be
included in the list. The general con-
clusion seemed to be that intelligence,
atleast. was not a paramount necessity
in the perfect woman.
