CHAPTER XVI.
The Sketch.

Only a picture! only touch!
OF dead fingers on live heart chords!
Only a remembrance of the past
which makes
The present uncomfortable.
Sir Richard was not an idle man,
even in his holiday moments. He had
set apart a room in the Box for his
study, library, cOunting-house, or what
ever he liked to call it, and was at
work there, writing and calculating
with his usual smooth placidity, when
stephen Hargrave's signal gave him
notice of the mans proximity,
Sir Richard pushed his writing on
one side, and softly opened a small
door, which served as means OF
communication with the small garden
at the back.
Are you there?' he asked.
Yes" said a mans voice.
And the next moment Stephen Har-
grave entered.
Sir Richard quietly closed the door,
and, pointing to a chair near the
fire, resumed his own seat and his
work as if such a being as Stephen
Hargrave never existed.
The man sat in grim silence, star
ing at the fire for time with a
gloomy, absorbed air.
At last he raised his head, and
eyed the calm FACE of his master.
The glance was a curious one; its
elements were made up of a rough
sort of gratitude, grim, ignorant
kind of fear, and slight suspicion of
dislike.
Sir Richard, raising his own eyes,
met the glance, and, seemingly re-
called to a sense of the mans pres
ence, said:
well, he has not returned?"
mo" replied stephen Hargrave,
mot yet. He comes by the last train"
Sir Richard consulted his watch.
"Then there is no great time to
waste. You are sure he has no sus-
picion!'
I'm as sure as man can be, mas
ter" was the grim reply.
NOu6 saw you Sut0I IuS SdIQSH.
Stephen Hargrave shook his head.
mo one"
That's WELL" said Sir Richard,
with quiet approval. you cannot be
too cautious; remember. Should we
rouse his suspicious, we fail in the OBJ
ject l have in view. Remember that
and when send for you, take all pre-
cautions to reach me unobserved."
The man nodded.
"Has-has Miss Newton spoke with
him since the time you told me Off"
NO." said his spy. HE went off by
the train this morning. as you know
They have not met since yesterday,
when"
Eyes, yes; know, you told me-" In
terrupted Sir Richard, with frown
mind they do not meet without your
knowing it; you must watch them as
keenly as q weasel does pair of
rabbits. When or where they meet
YOU must be near enough to hear
what they say. must-understand me
II must know all their plans"
The man nodded.

"Mine In Spite of ALL"

"Mine In Spite of AL"
Love is enough; though the world be
a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the
voice of complaining,
Though the sky be too dark for dim
eyes to discover,
The gold cups and daisies fair bloom
ing Hereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows,
and the sea dark wonder.
The next morning Louis rose early,
and with laudable industry prepared
his block of marble for the statue of
the child.
During breakfast, however, an
idea struck him which renderd his
hours toll useless.
The child would be beautiful in it.
self but he thought he could give II
an extra interest, and add little dra-
matte effect,
He would carve the child lying In a
cradle. He drew sketch and threw
| 1t aside.
He tried several others, and grew
dissatisfied with them all in turn.
At last a happy idea struck him.
He would cut out two figures-the
child and the mother! He drew the
paper toward him and sketched out
the figure of woman holding up the
child at arms length.
Capital" he exclaimed. Nov
let me put a look of supplication and
tenderness in the woman's face and
an expression of pitiful innocence IN
the childs. and shall be able to
make an effective group
So pleased was he with his idea
that he left his breakfast half fin.
ished and hastened, sketch in hand
to his studio.
On his way he passed his grim ser
want. Stephen Hargrave.
"Well, Stephen" he said. how is
the scald?f'
"All right, thank We" said Stephen
That's all right said Louis, land
I'm glad of it. You must be more
careful / can't spare my cook, val
| ct and stud-groom all at the same
time"
And with kindly word he hurried
on.
With a warm enthusiasm he

Louis repressed smile
Not for a tombstone, but for a

perhaps, in the country. Yoa would not
mind seeing him standing amid beasl-
tifgsl flowers, and within sound of a
thinking Fountain"
NO" said the old mar mis- eyes
