CHAPTER ".

"You cannot really mean to let her
go?"
The speaker was Denis; the time was
a week after the interview last record
ed. Gen. Colquhon looked at him impas-
sively,
Certainly l mean it," he answered.
"Ianthe has made her choice. see no
reason now to alter my decision.
should never have dreamed of sending
her, as you know"
"Why did l ever interfere?" cried
Denis distractedly.
'Tm sure l don't know" replied the
old man dryly. That's just what
have never been able to explain"
Have you made any inquiries into his
means or way of livingY" asked Denis
How do you know he really can keep
her as he says?"
He seems in a fair enough way of
business answered the other. at seems
he abandoned the teaching of drawing
and took to photography some years
ago He has now a small business of his
own in Glasgow. Poor Patricia! A
photographers wife!"
"And Ianthe?"
"Oh, that is very different! Ianthe is
photographers daughter-it is her
sphere"
81 should like to see Ianthe," said
Denis. 81 suppose you have no objec-
tions to my having private talk with
| herr"
None in the world" answered Gen.
| Colquhon. Take her out to the garden
and you can talk there"
Ianthe was already in the garden, and
when she saw Denis she came running
| up.
"Oh, / am so glad TO see you'll" she
cried. 81 have been longing to see you.
| thought you would never comet"
She held out her hands and Denis took
them, looking down into the beautiful
eyes upturned to his.
And you are really going!" he said
"How do you feel about it. Ianthe? Are
you really glad?"
81 don't know" she answered slowly.
ut has all come so quickly. Only ten
DAYS ago / thought ] should never be
free and now that the chance has come
/ feel not so much happy as afraid. You
see, don't know anything of any other

father I've always had Miss Dawson
with me to tell me what to do. / can't
help feeling a little afraid"

Ianthe's Fairy Prince.
"a "Jeaous Captive standing
mel" etc

thrown in to join your own would not
be bad bargain in the way of wife,
eh.'
Il have no desire to marry at present, !"
answered Denis coldly. when / do
marry | hope to choose my wife myself,
regardless of what she has year. Above
all, l do not consider child like Ianthe,
with no knowledge of the world and its
ways, fitting wife for any man yet"
so that's your answerf'' Gen. Colqu-
hon scowled in the fiercest wrath. "Then
what business brought you hereY" He
seemed to gulp down his rising passion
with visible effort. "Well, that settles
1T, then" he said at last "If the girl is
not happy here she can go to her father
l have done with her"
But, sir" cried Denis, you can't
send the girl to man with a character
of that description. 1t would be sinful .
"Tuts, I've had enough of your cpl.
thets!" said the old man "Cruel this
and sinful that! You would think
had been the worst monster the world
ever held, instead of having given the
girl everything she needs, except the
spirit of contentment"
He crossed over and rang a furious
peal on the bell
Send Miss Macqueen to me- he said
to the man who appeared; then, as Denis
made move to 60, he said, Stay here
Since you have chosen to mix yourself
up with it, you can wait and hear what
she has to say"

I never was quite sure whether he was
alive or noti"
Her pleased excitement would have
been delightful to witness if Denis had
not known too well the character OF the
man who called it forth. He watched her
face as she read. The last few minutes
seemed to have produced new Ianthe.
Her life had at last begun.
"He-he seems to want met she ex-
claimed, looking up with shining eyes.
oh, grandfather, may | 60 to him r
do you want to gof" he replied. Lat
tie as he cared for her, it yet hurt tins
strange old man to see the girls eager
ness to get away. He had provided Tor
her from her babyhood, and at the first
chance she was ready to fly to the father
who did not even know her name.
"Ianthe is quite incapable of Judging, !"
broke in Denis holly. Give her at least
some time to think it over-let her know
the facts of the case"
Gen. Colquhon took no notice. His
mind was suddenly made up. Ianthe
should have her choice, and by 1t she
must ever abide.
DO you want to go?" he asked again.
Remember, your life will be very diff
ferent from what it is here. There are
worse things in this world than having
nobody who loves you"
Ianthe looked up, and the old mans
bitter smile produced its effect. She had
never seen a smile of real affection on
his face. Her heart suddenly revolted.
Il don't believe there is anything
worse!" she cried impulsively. If my
father wants me | viii go to him. Then
seeing a sudden spasm of pain on her
grandfather's face, she added quickly,
Unless you want me to stay, grand
| fatherl"
The young face was turned up to his.
and for moment it seemed as If the
old man would yield. Then he turned
from her with laugh
81 will never stand between q father
and his daughter he answered. IF you
want to go to him, go. Only remember
that for you there is no coming back.
Your mother ruined her life by thinking
too little of her father 1t will only be
the irony of fate if her daughter ruins
her life by thinking too much of hers.
Once again, it's choice between me and
John Mcqueen. Choose him, if you will,
but you'll not come crying back"
The last words settled the matter.
II choose my father said Ianthe, her
young face very pale,
"Ianthe Patricia" was her grand
fathers strange reply. "lanthe Patricia
I-Macqueenl"
He stood looking at her with an air
of consummate seorn. The girl returned
it with one of high pride. Denis turned
away from them both with groan.

LILLPUTIAN CHINA.
Interesting Origin of Miniature Sets by
Famous Makers.

Do you know those miniature dinner
and tea services and odd pieces of china
bearing the marks of historic makers
and most exquisitely fashioned that are
preserved in many old families? This
liliputian china had an origin that is
not perhaps generally known. The lead
ing china makers a century or two ago
were in the habit of sending il as Christ
mas presents to the children of their
best customers.
A number of these sets and pieces will
be exhibited in London toward the mid
die of next month. says the Lady's Pic
torial, and they viii be well worth see
ing by those who care for rare china
1t is quite possible that q collection Of
liIiputian furniture will be exhibited at
the same time. These tiny pieces are as
complete in all details as furniture Of
the normal size, but they are no larger
than the things you would expect to find
in a first rate dolls house
They were made originally not for the
delectation of the young but as samples
for the young man who Travelled the
provinces in the interest of some firm Of
furniture makers in London In those
DAYS there were no leviathan catalogues
profusely illustrated ana a journey from
a remote country district to the show
rooms in London was a formidable uu-
dertaking before we had railways and
motor cars.

At that time there was rival Baptist
paper in New York City called the
Watchtower In writing OF the death
of his friend Stonewall Jackson DR.

referred TO him as a ''battlescarred
veteran"
The printers OF the Examiner
amended this. and It was stated TO the
readers that StonewalI Jackson was
"a battle-scared veteran" T~e Watch

fun Of it's rival paper and attempted
simply to reproduce the error OF the
Examiners printer. But the printer
Of the Watchtower took his turn and
made It read that StOnewall Jackson
was "a bottle-scarred veteran" Non
the Examiner had a good chance q
