trown, she saw that Downs had followed
her.
You'll get cold out here. miss" the
young man said, fixing his eyes on her
exquisite face with astonished admira-
tion; "and you're much zoo pretty"
Audrey drew herself up. She was very
young, and she had never had occasion
to feel the sort of angry resentment
that this mans bold stare awakened in
her breast. She was too nervous to make
any reply, but she turned found quickly
and went indoors before he knew what
she was doing.
"Oh That's her sort, is II" observed
Mr.. Henry Downs to himself "Who's
she, I'd like to know. though she is so
pretty, to give herself airs Ike a queen?
Well, We'll soon take that out of her, or
my name amt Downs
And, dispensing few kicks to the
dogs, the man walked away down the
courtyard to give his masters order to
the head groom.
Audrey to her great relief found that
message had come for her TO go to Miss
Fraser's room at once. Sheila Fraser
was lying in her luyuriant ted, her red
gold hair thrown over the pillows in pic
turcsque confusion as Audrey entered.
Light my fire at once" she ordered,
sharply then pull up the blind. and give
me those papers and letters, Maxse."
Audrey stirred the smollering embers
into a blaze. threw some wood on to it,
and then drew back the silken curtains.
Miss Fraser took the letters ant stared at
the girl.
Il don't think l shall Ike this girl"
she said to herself. "She is evidently
stupid. and stares at one in an uncanny
fashion. Go to Mrs. Frascr's room
you know where it is-give ber my love,
and ask how she is this morning." she
said, shortly.
She lay quite still as audrey went
o. ay, then, with a sudden movement. she
slipped from the bed, went across the rich
carpet to the mirror, and sazed silently
at her own image. Never before, in the
whole of her life. had she ever viewed
her own reflection with anything but
pleasure. What was it that Jared her
now? Not only the lack Of symmetry
in feature the difference in cooring-
was it not a certain air of unaccounta-
BILE retinement-a something that bespoke
the patrician in Audrey's face, and that
was wanting in her own?
She was not patrician born-she was
of the people. Her father had been
hard d-headed Scotch merchant, born of re-
spectacle Scotch tradesfolk her mother
the rich and only daughter Ct a Cumber-
land brewer. They were wealthy, they
had land, they had retinues Of servants.
but still they were beyond the sacred
inner social round. Sheila could remem-
Der distinctly the days before her moth
er's death; she was only a girl of eight,
but she was wonderfully sharp and pre-
cocious for her years. Mrs. Fraser had
no other children. She was an unloved
wife, her ambitions did not keep pace
with those of her husband, and the rift,
begun almost Immediately after the mar
riage, widened and wdened until they
Were virtually separated altogether.
George Fraser neither felt nor pretended
to feel any sorrow when his wife died.
He was considerably enriched by her for
tune.

Queer Things in Kansas.

A Kansas City man has just sue
ceeded in getting a patent on an cleo
trio motor fastened on cows back,
the electricity being generated by a
dynamo attached to her tail. 1t strains

the strainer. A small phonograph ac-

lovely things as were massed together in
Sheila Fraser's apartments, with their
silken hangngs, their dainty furniture,
costly ornaments. and the hundred and
one appointments which 6nished every
corner.
1T Is like fairyland," Audrey said
over and over again in her heWiderment.
She hardly liked to tread on the Per
sian rugs and furs thrown on the floor,
and she held her breath as ,he stood be-
side the ivory toilet table, and gazed at
the brushes and array of bottles and 9TH

IF Jean could but see them !" was
her thought.
She was quite dazed with all the love-
lness about her, and gave little cries of
surprise and delight as Birtham lighted
the pink -gobed lamps and stirred the fire

She felt it must be some delicious
heaven-sent dream, and that presently
she should wake and find herself in her
cold, hard bed at the home, the bell

Sheila's arrival dispeled this feeling.

she added You must remember to have
it always ready for me when | have been
out hunting, Maxse. Birchain, you have
told her everything?"
Yes, miss, everything
Let her remain here and watch you
tonight"
Audrey stood in a dusky corner with
her hands folded, as Miss Flaser, having
plunged into her bath and thls refreshed
and invigorated herself, sat before the
long, ivory mounted duchesse mirror and
put herself into Bircham's hands to have
her hair dressed.
Audrey thought she had lever seen
anything so beautiful as Shela Fraser's
hair; every thread seemed Of FURNISHED
gold as the brush went through it, and
the lamp light shone on it, aid when by
and by her young mistress stood adorned
for dinner in a black crepe gown, with
diamonds glittering in her wavy tresses
and around her white throat, the girl
was quite dazed.
