uncle.
Somehow or other he proposed to her
that night--between the parts, perhaps,
when he led her Int the adjoining room
for refreshments, though more probably

opportunity as they were taking Miss Dial
rymple home.
Two mornings after the concert DR..
Awdrey called on me, looking as yellow
as an old title-deed.
HYou must 90 up to Flexmore House
at once" he said, without asking me how
was, or any other preliminary civility.
fsFlexmore Is In a critical condition
heres not 4 moment to spare"
.sWhat does he want me forr asked.

! drove over to Flexmore House, sus-
pectIng mischief, found my old friend
IN bed, but perfectly calm and collected.
Mis- Dalrymple was IN the room with
little Laure, who clung to her hand as
though she felt that soon there would be
but that to protect and befriend her.
Flexmore took my hand with a smile
1ilent greeting that was more touching
than words.
Ny dear" he said to Miss Dalrymple,

But the win must not stand; he has
sbcwn me that. For the child's sake
FOR that dear girl Gertrude's sake, It must
Be altered. They must not be separated
The money must Be left In trust, and hen

months but has carefully refrained from
binding himself to any engagement"
You are wrong, Keene. He proposes

This took my breath away, and lef
me no ground to stand on.
'And she accepted him7" gasped, al
ter an interval Of silence.
