~ IN the days that followed Fraide's
marked adoption of him Loder
behaved with a discretion that
~ spoke we'll for his qualities.
Many a man placed in the same re-
sponsible and yet strangely irresponsi-
bic position might have been excused if,
for the time at least, he gave himself
a loose rein. But Loder kept free of
the temptation.
Like all other experiments, his show
ed unlocked for features when put to
working test. Its expected difficulties
smoothed themselves away, while others,
scarcely anticipated. came into promi
nence. Most notable of ALL the physical
likeness between himself and Chilcote,
the bedrock of the whole scheme, which
had been counted on to offer most dan
ger, worked without hitch. He stood
literally amazed before the sweeping
credulity that met him on every hand.
Men who had known Chilcote from his
youth, servants who had been in his
employment for years. Joined issue in

the ease of deception bewildered him.

it caused him to look at her second

Loder waited until he heard the outer
door close, then he crossed the room
thoughtfully and dropped into the
chair she had vacated. He sat for a
time looking at the hand her fingers
had touched. Then he lifted his head
with a characteristic movement.

CHAPTER III.

@l HERE was silence an uneasy
break, after Loder spoke. The
episode of the telegram was,
IL to all appearances, ordinary
enough, calling forth Ewes question
and his own reply as a natural Sc
quence, yet in the pause that followed
it each was conscious of jar, each
was aware that in some subtle way the
thread of sympathy had been dropped.
though to one the cause was mex
plicabe and to the other only too plain.
Loder watched the ghost of his mes
sage grow whittier and thinner, then
dissolve into airy fragments and fiutter
up the chimney. As the last morsel
wavered out of sight he turned and
looked at his companion.
You almost made me commit my
self" he said. In the desire to hide
his feelings his tone was short.
Eve returned his glance with quiet
regard, but he scarcely saw it. He had
a stupefied sense of disaster, feeling
of bitter self commiseration that for
the moment outweighed all other con-
siderations. Almost at the moment of
justification the good of life had crum-
meath his feet. and with an absence of
logic, lack of justice unusual in him,
he let resentment against Chilcote
sweep suddenly. over his mind.
Eve, still watching him, saw the dark
enfng of his expression and with a
quiet movement rose from her chair.
Lady Sarah has a theater party to-
night, and / am dining with her, she
said. 1T is an early dinner, SO

you think / tried to draw you into any
thing. / must have explained myself
badly" She laughed little to cover
the slight discontinue that her tone
betrayed. and as she laughed she
moved across the room toward the
door
Loder, engrossed in the check to his
own schemes, incensed at the sudden
ness Of ChiIcotes recall and still more
incensed at his own folly in not having
anticipated it, was oblivious for the
moment Of both her movement and
her words. Then quite abruptly they
obtruded themselves upon him. break

In Harper's Magazine for April there are printed a number of new Dickens let tcrs written by the great novelist while in Switzerland to his friends, the Wat sons, in England. Among these is print ed for the first time complete his opinion of Uncle Toms Cabin.
 In 1892 Dickens wrote to Mrs. Watson giving his impressions of Uncle Tom 8 Cabin Parts of this letter were publish ed in a collection of letters after his death, but it is here printed as he wrote It. for the first time.
 .,In the matter of Uncle Toms Cabin. I partly though not entirely agree with Mir James No doubt much lower art will serve for the handling of such subject fin fiction than for launch on the sea of ina gination without such q powerful bark; but there are many points in the book very admirably done. There is certain St Clair, New Orleans gentle man. who seems to me to be conceived with great power and originality If he had not Grecan outline of face, which 1 began to be a little tired of in him in early infancy, I should think him un- exceptionable. He has a sister too a maiden lady, from New England in whose person the besettlng weakness and preudices of the Aboitionists themselves. on the subject of the blacks. are set forth in the liviest and truest colors and with the greatest ooldness She q mean Mrs. Stowe) is leetle interruptions in the ap- propriatin' way. I seem to see a writer with whom l am very intimate tand whom nobody can possibly admire more than myself) peeping very often through the thinness of the paper. Further I de- cry the ghost of Mary Barton and the very palpable mirage of scene In the children of the mist; but in spite of this I consider the book a fine one with a great and gallant purpose in 1t worthy of it's reputation.
