his father and MT. Edmonstone made an appointment to meet Guy at a hotel in
 London. Guy dreaded the meeting, for he felt that he would again be called
 upon to explain-and explain he would
 not. ''Now for it," he said to himself
 as he left his cab to enter the hotel. He found awaiting him not only his guardian
 and his lawyer, Markham, but his uncle
 Dixon. All three sprang up to receive
 him as he entered the room, and MT.
 Edmonstone grabbed the young mans
 hand with Guy, my boy. you are the
 most generous fellow in the world You
 have been used abominaby. Forget and
 forgive-eh, Guy? You'll come home with me-"
 Guy was giddy with surprise. He held
 one of MT. Edmonstone's hands and
 pressed 1t, but all he could say was "All
 right! All rightl' q know where your
 money went continued MT. Edmonstone,
 land there stands the man who told me
 the whole story. I said from the first
 that it was confounded slander." Guy turned his face with amazement toward
 his uncle who said: "I never, until this
 morning, had the least suspicion that
 had been the means of bringing you under
 any imputation. How could you keep me
 in ignorance?' How did you know?"
 asked Guy. It appeared that MT. Mark
 ham had accidentally learned of Guys
 Kindness to Marianna from one of the
 teachers at the school where the girl had
 been placed. He had then sought out Mr.
 Dixon and learned the rest of the story

 Philip, now with his regiment at Cork,
 was preparing for his Mediterranean trip
 He was informed of the turn of affairs and wrote back to MT. Edmonstone let ter in which he regretted the renewal of the engagement and hinted at unhappiness for Amy. They invited him to the we'd ding; but Philip decided that he would not attend and wrote back calm and lofty letter in which he wished the bride and groom every happiness and expressed himself as sorry that he could not visit Hollywell again before his departure for Corfu. His regiment, he wrote, would go direct, but he would make journey over land by way of Italy and Germany through which countries he proposed to travel mostly on foot
 Of course Laura was disappointed that ha av again. but, also, of course, whatever Philip did must be right. Guy took his degree at Oxford and soon after Sir Guy and Lady Morville went abroad on their
 wedding tour. While in Switzerland they ran across Philip making his leisurey way to join his regiment They met as | if nothing unpleasant had ever occurred between them-and Philip at once began | to take charge of them as usual. The
 newly married people had been looking forward to Venice, but when Philip said that they ought to skirt Lake Como and | then cross to the Tyrol they meekly agreed. Philip would leave them. he said at Botzen and they were then to | go to Innsbruck, and from there home. Amy could not help thinking that three was one too many persons on honey moon trip--but then who could gainsay the directions of the superior Philip? The next day. however. Guy learned 1 that there was an epidemic of fever In one of the towns through which Philip proposed to pass, and told Philip that he | would not take his wife on the proposed
