struggled bravely on with what he had
evidently come with his mind made up
to say. By this time we, Dearest and !.
had gotten an inkling Of what that was.
He had come, we could see. to warn us
against encouraging the affair be-
tween Brancepeth and Agatha First

in some way or other that 1t was be-
ing carried on more furiously than
ever under our protection. but we had
no doubt, however, that, aside from his.
personal interest in putting stop to
the thing. the man was convinced that
he was acting for Brancepeth's inter-
ests as well in interfering, since 1t
had been true enough that the lad was
SO placed that he could not we'll afford
to offend his uncle. Chiltern is fine
fellow, all right, but he's good deal
older than am, and conservative in
private life as well as public. But In
spite of his tendency to preach, and an
obnoxious habit of expecting everyone
to toe the mark as vigorously as he
does himself, rather like the old cock.

The nuptial kiss. with meaning
akin to that Of the kiss of peace, had
its origin in a most serious and prac-
tical church ceremony known as the
espousals. Among medieval people,
as among some classes of Jews today.
1t was customary for the bridegroom
and the bride to meet before wit

He had at first. it appeared. called
upon Agatha Endicott when she was
staying at Chiltern house, and courted
her openly, but on hearing of the Sim
plin complication, Chiltern, who hated
the possibility of being dragged into a
family row, as much as he disliked to
be responsible for offending his power
full friend and ally, had objected vehem-
entity and had forbidden continuance
of their intimacy, at least for as long
as it was in his power to demand obe-
dience. That is, while the girl was
guest under his roof, which decree
had forced Brancepeth to cease his at
tentions temporarily, when our invita-
ton to make one OF our house party
had mercifully removed the other prin-
cipal in this romance to Wyckhoff cas-
tie. A change of scene, which while 1t
did not utterly remove her from the
sphere of danger. since a chance visit
on the part of either her former or
present hostess to either mansion
might reveal all. still afforded her
better opportunity to see her lover.
A state Of affairs which naturally
explained Agatha Ffrst's reluctance to
have my wife make the trip to Chiltern
house. where she feared mutual revela-
tons might be made which must neces-
sarily expose the secret of Brance-
peth's courtship Of her, continued as 1t
was, in spite OF and against Mr.. Chill
terms expressed wish. 1t was also
made plain to us that Agatha F1rsts
devotion to Terhune sprang from two
sources. It was assumed partly to
throw Mrs. Chiltern OF the scent In
case she should make any attempt to
nnd out whether Brancepeth were still
continuing his attentions. In case Of
awkward questions she wished my wife
to be able to say with truth that her
guest was interested In some one else.
That some one else CHANGING to be Ter
hume. She had also INDUCED In her
1irtation with Arch, she admitted
with q most engaging laugh and teas
ing glance at her lover. partly because
she had conceived fondness for the
old boy, but softened this shaft by add
ing that she liked to talk to him be-
cause she had discovered that he knew
Brancepeth, and she was therefor able
to talk about her lover. though she
could not often see him. Terhune's
fondnoss for her society-for being
with Agatha First thought, could be
explained even more simply. He had
quite given himself away that time
when he had 70 naively conilded to me
his belief that the girl was in love with
him.
