She glanced toward Sister Margaret,
then rose and walked out upon the ter

fearful, her back to the balustrade. her
hand at her side lightly touching it.
She had confidence, thought, in the
power of tears, as she slipped her
handkerchief into her sleeve and
waited for me to answer.
"Of course Mr.. Gillespie only loaned

Eyes; but it is mere coincidence.
1t was a good hiding place for him, as
we'll as for u.s."
1T is very unfortunate for all Of us
that he should be here. l had hoped
he would bury himself where he would
never be heard of again!" she said,
and anger burned for moment in her
face. 'If he has any shame left, l
should think he would leave here at
once!"
Its to be remembered, Miss Hol-
brook, that he came first; and l am
quite satisfied that your father sought
him hare before you and your aunt
came to Annandale. 1t seems to me
the equity lies with your uncle-the
creek as hiding place belongs to him
by right of discovery"
She smiled ready agreement to this,
and felt that she had come to win
support for some plan of her own. She
had never been more amiable; certain
" she had never been lovelier.
You are quite right. We had all Of
us better go and leave him in peace.
What is it he does there-runs ferry
or manages a boathouse?'
HE is a canoe-maker," said, dryly,
with more than local reputation"
Her tone changed at once.
I'm glad; I'm very glad he has es-
capped from his old ways; for all our
sakes," she added, with little sigh.
And poor Rosalind! You may not
know that he has daughter. She is
about a year younger than l. She
must have had a sad time of it. I was
named for her mother and she for
mine. II you should meet her. Mr..
Donovan, l wish you would tell her
how sorry l am not to be able to see
her. But Aunt Pat must not know
that Uncle Arthur is here. l think
she has tried to forget him, and her
troubles with my father have effaced
everything else. hope you will man
age that, for me; that Aunt Pat shall
not know that Uncle Arthur and Rosa

her. 1t would be opening book that

"Rosalind? Then you can tell me

lightly. But l shall not attempt t.
