CHAPTER VT

Agatha Dale was one of those wom-
en- who have the strength to wait, as
well as the wisdom to make, discreet
use Of such opportunities as fall In
their way. From her earliest girlhood
she had loved her godmother's young
brother. with a love that had grown
into a part of herself. Unfortunately
Miss Carroll in her affectionate desire
to promote the happiness of both the
young people under her care. had done
her best to foster and stimulate the
girls misplaced fancy.
When Agatha had awakened TO the
litter reality of her position she had at
irst suffered acutely both in her pride
and in her heart, it was only after
some years of hard and determined
schooling of her thoughts that she i'm
agined herself to be cured; and it was
then that she had met Lord Neither
vile, and in moment of impulse ac-
cepted the offer which he had made to
her. On the night, however, that Ru-
pert was brought home wounded and
half dead, she recoiled all at once in
dismay from what she had done, and
broke off her brief engagement to
Lord Netherville as quickly as she had
entered into it.
Then came the long weeks of Ru-

Woman Judge I'm Denmark.

A woman has lately been made
Judge in Denmark, and the Danish
women are reported to be much excit-
ed, as they think 1t is the first and
only case OF the kind in the world.
To say nothing of Mrs. Esther Norris
OF Wyoming. Mrs. Catherine Waugh
McCulloch of Illinois. and Mrs. Mary
Cooper OF Kansas, do not our Danish
sisters read their Bibles? Have they
forgotten Deborah, the wife of Lapi-
doth, who judged Israel for forty years,
sitting under a palm tree. and led out
the forces OF the chosen people to
battle because the general refused to
march without her? Mr.. Blackwell was
very fond of quoting Deborah to those
who claimed that the Bible teaches the
subsection of women, and he empha-
sized the fact that Deborah was a mar
ried woman.-Woman's Journal.

The problem of what sort of blouse
to wear with the tailored suit is a
serious one this year Many will not
have to face this question, having
chosen a three-piece suit at the start
But the woman who decided in favor
of simple tailored coat and skirt will
don a simple tailored shirtwaist Of
white linen for morning wear, varying
this by selecting for afternoons a chif-
fon, satin or soft silk blouse just the
shade of her suit. The above model
of satin followed this plan. just match
ing a cloth suit of "raisin," the popular
blush purple shade. The waist prop
er was of soft satin, plated at the
shoulders and top of sleeves, the chif-
fen yoke was of corresponding shade,
ending in embroidered velvet reveres
Soutache embroidery embellished the
bodice below the yoke, also the collar
and cuffs of the full-length sleeves.

tie by little, as the weeks and months
went by, Agatha's heart began to beat
once more with renewed hope. The
loss of his memory was all in her fa-
vor. She knew, by that unerring in
stinct that women have in such mat
tiers. that those months Of oblivion
included a something that was very
near to Rupert's heart. That some
thing, she was quite sure, was wom-
an,
Well. Agatha did not wish TO wrong
any woman or to come between a man
and the girl he loVed-she would have
cut off her right hand sooner than be
guilty of such baseness; but was 1t her
fault if fate had stepped in and sew
cred him from a rival? Could she help
him back to his memory of her, by
anything on earth that she could do?
After that fruitless expe Iition to
Chatswell, Carroll seemed to become
more resigned. Openly he WIS calmer.
and although he had lost his once
buoyant spirits. and was often plung-
ed into the deepest fits of depression,
still he made d strenuous and not alto
gether unsuccessful effort to resume
his ordinary cheerfulness of manner.
Oddly enough, he took no steps to
return to his town life. He was now
perfectly well in health, but the quiet
of Harrington seemed to suit him. No
business claims called him back to
London. Carroll was idle man,
whose income. although by no means
large, was sufficient for all his needs,
without any additional labor on his
part. AS he had told Irene, he was
neither a rich man nor yet a pauper-
he had a competence.

carpet there will probably be cracks
which will need filling. Putty colored
like the wood is very satisfactory for
this. If the boards are knotty. they
should be painted. Otherwise a trans
parent finish may be used. Stains
made by paint or varnish are easily
with ammonia, but it should
be put on with a brush. The whole
floor may be cleaned in this way. The
ammonia darkens the wood somewhat.

CHAPTER V


That very night, the last night that
Irene spent at her old home, the night
on which she saw that dream or Wis
Ion OF her lover and heard his strange
half-real cry to her, Rupert Carroll
came suddenly ont of his bedroom at
Harrington. walked quickly along the
passage, and knocked loudly at his
sisters door. Louise sprang I'D in
alarm to let him in; he was standing
completely dressed outside her door
He seemed TO be in a condition of ex-
IRENE agitation, and she saw that his
face was working with some great
and unaccustomed emotion.

you i'll? what is the matter?'
Get up at once, Louise, don't let

Louise Carroll recollected what the
specialist from London had said about
the divers ways in which memory re-
turns after such strange periods of
.obliteration, and resolved that no
stone should possibly be left unturned
that could lead to complete resto-
ration of her brothers mental powers.
In the early dawn of the winter morn
ing, they walked shiveringly down to-
gether to the station to catch the ear
Iy train, there Is no doubt that this
devoted and much enduring sister pri
vately believed that they were off on
q wild-goose chase.
She would not consent to let him
go alone: and having carried his main
point, Rupert acquiesced in her resoiu-
ton to accompany him; he did not. in
point OF fact, seem to care very much
whether she went with him or no. All
through the journey to Victoria and
the drive across London IN the cab 30
Paddington, and the subsequent longer
railway journey to CEatswell, Rupert
remained silent and distracted His
face was fixed, his eyes stared vacant
ly before him, and he passed his hand
frequently over lis brow in the puz-
xled manner which told her that he
was trying 10 remember. He was

over the tight lacing of his day, told

of frivolous tastes and a menace of
coming decadence. The restoration
kings, Louis XVIII. and Charles Y,

the latter, France had been full of

there were only wasps. The revolution
