1t is seven days since the Wheal
Rose mine exploded, seven days since
Lorrie sold herself to save her ia
ther. the first seven long days of the
bondage which is to last till life ends,
and Greta stands IN the breakfast
room holding up to the light a mag
nificent necklet in which sparkle
those precious stones which since the
days OF Queen Sheba, the fair sex
have most favored.
Lorrie is sitting at the davenport in
the attitude which she always as
sumes when compelled by dire neces
sity to answer one of her correspond
ents- that is, with her small hand
thrust into her hair and an expression
OF utter and intense boredom eloquent
not only in her face, but in her whole
form.
What? Oh, yes, very pretty "
Very pretty! echoes Jack. Listen
TO her! Her young man showers gold
and diamonds on her, and she says.
Very pretty! as if they were things
from Margate. Very pretty Pom my
word, Lorrie, you take things very
scoolly; anybody would think you'd
been engaged to millionaire since
you were in your cradle,
Perhaps | was she says, YEARLY
Marriages are made in heaven, you
know"
Don't let's say anything about the
past, Greta. We will suppose, if you
please, that | was born yesterday,
that / never had any past, that Lord
Ken-that a certain person never eX-
listed, and that am subject to dreams
ard imagine things that never oc-
curreo."
Lord Guy may love Lorrie more
truly and nobly, but it is a question
whether he loves her more passion
ately. more fiercely than the man who
is ready to dare ard do anything,
however vile or base, to gain her.
Greta mas called him a generous
sweetheart" and it is just descrip-
tion. All that money cam obtain he is
ready to lay at Lorrie's feet. He rare
ly comes to the rectory but what he
has some present in his hands. some
rare and beautiful article the cost OF
which the unsophisticated Latimers
have little idea And Lorrie takes
them with smile that is az cold as
winters sun upon window pane,
She is always ready to see him, al
ways willing to go with him for
walk Or drive; but the smile, the ex-
pression in her eyes is always colo,
and calm, and ualHnoved.
Sometimes he is driven almost to
despair by it, and is tempted to take

| her in has arms, and crush the color
into her face, the warmth into her
eyes; but he restrafns himself.
Everything comes to the man who
can waltz he tells himself; and he
will wait until she has learned TO I'M
derstand his love and return it!
Meanwhile Lorrie can read III the
society journals of the almost daily
record of Lord Kendale's doings.
The coming union between the Mel
forG's who rose from the mud, and
! the old family of the latcham's, has
been quite a godsend to the papers in
the dull season, and they are never
tired of dilating upon the length of
Lord Guys pedigree ana the extent
Of Miss Melfcrd's wealth. Her beauty
and her diamonds supply many a par
agraph to the hard-up penny-a-liner-
and all this Lorrie, sitting quietly at
home, reads
Reads how Lord Kendale, who is
visiting with Miss Diana Melford and
her father at Lord Soand-So's, shot
many brace of pheasants, or rode or
walked so far She reads 1t all with
the tight contraction of the heart
which comes when we are reminded
of the loved one lost, of happier days
gone from us forever.
Sometimes IN the silent watches OF
the night she fancies she can hear
his voice as it spoke to her that night
in the lane; see his face; but ever
ond always there comes between her
and him the cold feline, beautiful
face and clear voice Of Diana Melford,
and Lorrie, shutting her eyes, tries
to crush the memory of the past out
of her heart.
One day Mr.. Seymour Melford goes
into his Office at Lime street to draw
check for the necklet and bracelet
which Lorrie has taken so calmly,
little guessing at its cost and as he
fills in the slip converses affably
with Mr.. Wheeler He is always
smoothly and softly affable with
every one, and Mr.. Wheeler, the con-
fidential man of business, has never
seen his secret principal out of tenn
per or even irritable.
Not even when the great Wheal
Rose shares ran down to nothing, and
Seymour Melfcrd lost so much
money!
Any news, Wheeler" he says.
NO, sir, not much. Things are very
quiet at present
As he speaks, man rushes in with
the peculiarly hasty step which city
men, and city men alone, acquire,

1T is about the Wheal Rose, sir,

and important is the information that,
though they are alone, he bends Tor

The cane falls from Melford's hand.
and he starts visibly starts.

Mr.. Wheeler, a little surprised 81

has produced, repeats it.

The story of the purse of gold, for

she was brought from China by a
member of the Four Brothers. Her
price had been high in the Orient and
her owner refused offers by the whole
sale for her Seeing that she could
not be acquired by the accepted
methods, Chin Lin, an AmeTicanizea
Chinese, adopted strategy. He in
formed one of the American missions
