WELL" said Jack, as he came to a
standstill before her, ''are you not going
to say something to me, Audrey"
Il am very glad"
There she stopped, for he had sud
denly thrown his arms about her and
drawn her close to his heart
my dearest, my sweetest wife p he
murmured passionately, while a food of
color rushed into her cheeks. my own.
my very own !" and then, before she was
aware Of it, he had stopped and kissed
her lips softly, whispering tender words
all the while.
With an almost inarticulate cry she
buried her face on his breast and chung
to him with force which was the sweet
est sensation Jack Glendurwood had ever
experienced. He saw then how wise the
old doctor had been, and was grateful
to the common sense that had prompted
him to end the unsatisfactory condition
of affairs.
By and by he sat down in the big
chair, and she nestled on the floor beside
him, and holding and kissing her hands
alternately, Jack unfolded his plan for
taking her away directly.
"Sentance says I must CO." he added,
plaintively, as he waited for her answer.
1T will cure me entirely"
"Then"-she blushed quietly-"then let
us go at once, my-my darling"
And so, when Constance Fraser entered
the room little while later, she found
the two sitting together, and learned that
as soon as everything could be arranged,
the young couple were ready to start.
With smiles and deepest blessings, they
took their departure a few days later.
Audrey bought present for Jean in ev-
cry foreign town she visited, and when
the season was over Jack had promised
she should have her poor little school
friend to stay with her for as long as she
liked
They had not settled where they would
live permanently, but they were both In
clined to Craiglands. Lord Iverne was
going to be taken abroad by his mother to
some mineral waters, and the poor fell
low had expressed wish that his brother
and his bride would make Craiglands
their home for a time.
1T will be so near mother" Audrey
had said, and Jack had not told her that
glewood House. He felt that 1t would
give her so much pain, and, besides, he
was so ashamed and angry with Sheila
Tor her cruel conduct, that he determined
not to discuss her just yet.
There was no need to let Audrey
know how Sheila had behaved, for Mrs.
Fraser would go to Cronberg with the
Duchess of Marlborough, and would in
all probability reside abroad for few
months.
Audrey exclaimed with pleasure as
they drove into the pretty grounds at
Nottingham, and was so lost in gazing
at them that she was quite unconscious
OF the sensation her appearance was
causing the crowd of fashionables. Of
course, they had done nothing but discuss
the John Glendurwood marriage, and now
the sight of the young mans handsome
and well-known face revived the curl
osity and gossip afresh.
Jack Glendurwood Is here with his
wife! Have you seen them? What Is
she like? A nurse girl, wasn't she? OF
course she Is awful? What hardihood
to bring her out so soon she must be
raw, however pretty! What will Sheila
Fraser and Lady Gladys Daleswater do?"
These and dozens of quick questions and
remarks of the like sort ran like wildfire
through the throng.
Jack was very calm. He lifted his
darling down and gave a few directions
to the groom, while Audrey looked around
her. picture Of exquisite simplicity and
indispensable loveliness in her soft white

net browning her dark locks. She was
not only beautiful, she was that most
desired of all things, good form"
From head to foot her attire was per-
lection. Constance Fraser had carefully
superintendent this, and had chosen moth
ing but the prettiest and most youthful
dresses.
II see our Mothers" said Audrey, turn
ing to her husband.
'Come along, we will go to them" re-
turned Jack, who could scarcely conceal
a smile as he read the utter amazement
and admiration written on nearly every
face. Audrey walked through the crowd
quite easily. The strains of the band
sounded pleasantly in her ears, and she
smiled across to where her mother sat
waiting for her to come. The duchess
bent toward Constance Fraser.
my DEAR" she said, warmly and ten
derby, "the child has conquered already.
She is perfect; look at her walk, at her
carriage. Why, there is scarcely a wom-
an here who can hold herself like Audrey
does. l am proud of herr
Lady Daleswater was standing some
distance away from where her mother was
sitting. The rupture between them was
open gossip, so neither took any precau-
tions about guarding against remarks on
the fact of their not speaking.
Sheila Fraser was with the countess
in fact, she was staying with the Dales-
waters. There was younger brother of
the earls whom Gladys had destined
should win and use the Fraser thousands
