thing rather than that. I will obey
you and CO. Good-by. God be with
you. I will never see your face again,
until you ask me and my wife to visit
you"
Then it is farewell forever" said
Mrs. Saville, sternly. Take my thanks
for this repayment of all the care and
thought and affection I have lavished
| on you"
Hugh stood half minute gazing at
her, then, turning sharply, left the
room without another word. Mrs. Sa'
vile had risen to utter her last SEN
| tence, and now walked to the fireplace
to ring sharply.
Tell one of the men to be ready in
| ten minutes. I want to send note to
| Mr.. Rawson. It requires an answer,
| she said to the butler. And Atkins,
I shall not want you any more to-day;
you had better assist Mr.. Hugh. He is
| pretted for time. I wish everything
| belonging to him in this house to be
| packed and removed by tomorrow
evening at the furthest. You under
| stand me-" said his mistress, sternly;
| everything must be removed. And,
Atkins, telegraph to Mr.. Saville. l
think he has returned to his cham
oers: he was to be away only week.
Say 1 want him to come here to lunch
con-" The man, looking stupehed, quit
ted the presence of his imperious mis-
tress, who sat down to write with a
steady hand and curious scornful
smile on her lips.
Mrs. Saville's son did not come to
luncheon, and Mr.. Rawson's partner
wrote his regrets that the head of the
firm had left the of1"e before Mrs. Sa-
villes note had arrived, and they did
not know when he would return, but
that the writer would wait on Mrs.
Saville at once if she wished, and
would telegraph.
So the obdurate mothers intention
OF destroying her will at once was for
| the moment frustrated. She therefore
ordered the carriage, and, after paying
a round of visits, took a long drive,
reaching home just in time to see At
kins inspecting a pile of luggage being
| placed on a cab. He hustled the men
who were assisting out Of his lady S
way, saying officiously, as he did so,
| 1--WE have nearly cleared away every
thing. Just one or two boxes are left
for tomorrow. I did not like to take
| them so late into private house, and
| it's q goodish step to Dorchester Ter
race"
do what you like" said Mrs. Sa'
Vile, coldly; "do not trouble me-.
And she passed through the hall,
thinking, angrily, $50 that weak-mind,
ed man Rawson is giving that misera-
BILE, ungrateful dupe, my son, shelter
and encouragement! l will call him
to account for this"
1t was a wretched evening. Mrs.
Saville was to dine with distinguish
ed dowager, and, with Spartan cour-
age, arrayed herself in her best and
went forth to smile and utter bland
nothings about her dear boys haste to
get off in good time, about his good
fortune in being appointed to the flag
ship, and many more things about her
mingled regret and satisfact1on-polite
| inventions with which she valnly
! hoped to throw dust in the worlds
| shrewd eyes.
Next day detection took the wings
of the morning and came flying in the
shame of Lady olivia Lumley, news
| papers in hand. Breathless, excited,
she arrived before midday, mark OF
unauthorized familiarity.
ooh, my dear Mrs. Saville my dear
Elizabeth, have you seen what is in the
newspapers? l came off at once. l
could not bear that any one should
break it to you but myself" And she
held out the paper doubled down at
the announcement among the mar
riages.
mo, 1 have not" cried Mrs. Saville,
savagely, snatching the paper, crush
ing it, and throwing it from her, "but
I heard all about everything yester'
day morning. I have disowned and
banished my son. . l will never see him
again. But if you have come here to
gloat over my rage and distress, you
will be disappointed. l have merely cut
off an offending member. He is not
worth regretting. If you ever care to
mention the subject again, I shall de-
cline to hold any communication with
you or to give a reason for cutting
you. The world can fill up the blanks. .
