Overwork, strains, colds and other

 And pray, sir, of your courtesy, tell me what do you judge to be right. To enable you to rise in your self-esteem, must I consent to marry a man who has never asked newly, you are worse than MT. Kahn. He, at least, brought his intentions up to the front door, and said his say out like mani"
 ''He loves you, Vida"
 "Who-Mr Kahn?"
 You know very well-Vic Morris" said Phil sternly, feeling his courage gather as the path began to tangle itself between clumps of bramb1es al- ready in flower, and red and white rasp- berries still in fruit. MT. Morris loves you, but he is too honorable to say so. He will not even come In the even ings-"

 Not at alI," cried Phil, feeling somewhat ridiculously happy and irn- potently angry with Vida, The has not said word of you-I tell you he is too noble"
 ''Hum," said Vida, apparently deeply disappointed. then this is not pro- fession of love. after all. as had been led to believe. Yet something in your manner"
 "Oh, Vida, he loves you! He does love your'
 ('What a fool I am! Oh, what an ironclad fool")
 Vida put her hand in her pocket and drew out her little handkerchief. Then, selecting the~very center, she held 1t daintily LID to her eyes, and pretended to cry into it.

 ''Yes yes-do-dol Add violence to the deceit you have cunningly prac- ticed upon trusting heart. How you can ever look me in the face! But am not so feeble so submissive, as I may appear.

A proposal of marriage has been ,nade--by master or man-1t matters not which, at least, not legally-either by Mr. Ludovic Morris, or by his trusty henchman, h Phil Calmont, on his own behalf!

 And suddenly dropping all pretence with her kerchief. she turned upon Thil two eyes, with something in them far more real tHdH mere todShi6 Seyiiu have brought there, and red lips. moist with fast-coming breath, little apart like the hands she had spread in ask ing the last question.

CHAPTER XXV.

The Secrets of a Summer House.
 In the forenoon Phil Calmont labored with his late master and present friend Vic Morris There was no lack of oc- cupation. Vic had several inventions to perfect, and, in, especial an entirely new system of installing electric fans for the ventilation of very deep mines, whi ich he hoped to see adopted on the Rand, and also wherever the workings had to be carried on at depths of over fifteen hundred feet.
 Vic insisted on paying Phil for the hours of work he did for him. and it was with the utmost difficulty that Phil was able to arrange for a much lower scale. in consideration of the valuable experience he was getting It was only when Vic Norris represented to him that he would need certain sum of money for his college expenses, that Phil finally accepted. even then much against his will.
 In the afternoon he indemnified him. self for the mornings work by a visit to his friend, Rose Nunsby, and as often as not. towards the gloaming, he might have been seen making his way in the direction of the cottage at Glebe End Gate.
 This day. however. he was doubly fortunate. For on crossing the neld and overlapping the wall, he found that the Nunsby summer house was occupied by two young women taking their tea together.
 A third cup was set. at which Phil gazed with something of apprehension.
 But Rose speedily relieved him.
 There used to be a certain regular ity in your misdeeds, Phil, she said. "which has not left you since you be- came a man of affairs. I thought that YOU would be sure to look in this after noon, so made ready. There is your cake the sort with the juicy boy cur rants you used to like so much. Now I can make it without the little hard piece in the center. which you called Concentrated Indigestion, though l never noticed that that prevented you from eating iit.'
 Then Phil, with distinct rise in his temperature, sat down on the familiar
