when one has a cachet like that there is
no need to trouble ones self further. Thus
while Mildred flashed brilliant witticisms
about, plain Barbara saw after the guests
tea and sugar, and if they took cream or
lemon, and tiresome things like that. And
as every one knew every one else, and the
same party met continuously all over Eng
land, things were very gay and friendly
Only Theodore and Josiah were com
pletely out of 1t all, and several of the
guests, who resented the intrusion of these
strangers into their charmed circle, would
take care on every opportunity to make
them feel 1t.
Hector did not get there until half an
hour later, in his automobile, which was
the mode Of arrival with more than two
thirds of the company. And until the
dressing-gong sounded, a continuous teuf-
teuf-teuf might have been heard as, one
after another, the cars whizzed up % the
door.
OF course, in a troop Of over thirty peo-
pie, naturally some had kind hearts and
good manners, but the prevailing tone of
this coterie Of creme de la creme was one
of pure selfshness and blunt and material
brutality.

CHAPTER XIII.
Her Self Denial.

- EECHLEIGH was really a fine place,
built by Vanbrugh in his best days.
- Three tiers Of fifteen tall windows
looked to the north IN a front and two
short wings, while colonnades led down to
splendid wrought-iron gates, and blocks Of
buildings constructed in the same stately
style. Fifteen more windows faced the
south; and the centre one of the first floor
led. with sweeping steps, to a terrace,
while seven easements adorned each of
the eastern and western sides.
On the southern side the view, for that
rather fiat country, was superb. 1t gave,
from a considerable levation-through a
wide opening of giant oaks and elms-a
peep of the lake a mile below, and on in
long avenue of turf to a vista of smiling
country. On the splendid terrace pea
cocks spread their tails, and vases Of
carved stone broke at intervals the gray
old balustrade.
Inside the house was equally nobly
planned: all the rooms of great height and
perfect proportion. and filled with pictures
and tapestries and bronzes and antique
of immense value.
II had come to these spendthrift Irish
Fitzgeralds through their grandmother,
the last of an old ducal race. And two
generations OF Hibernian infuenc, had
curtaRed the fine fortune which went with
it. until Sir Patrick often felt it no easy
matter to make both ends meet in the
luxurious and gilded fashion which was
necessary to himself AMI his friends.
If he and Lady Ada pinched and scraped

board wages, the parties, at all events.
were done with all their wonted regal
splendor.

puny husband was helped to something in
South Africa, when the mae in possession

the colonies-when he happened to be only
a colossally successful Englishman. And
once, during a prominent politicians
reign, poor Willie Werner enjoyed a few
months in his own land as secretary to a
newly started Radical club.

your money for their benefit. If you were
nOn-congenial you did not exist-that was
all. You might be sitting in a chair, but
they oply saw it and an empty space-you
did not even cumber their ground.
To do them justice, they preferred peo-
pie of their own exalted station; outsiders
seldom made their way into this holy OF
holies, however rich they were-unless, OF
course, they happened to be Mildred's
lovers. That situation for a man held spe-
cial prerogatiyes, and was greatly covered
by pretenders to this circle of grace.
Intellectual intelligence was not import
ant. Some of the women of this select
company had been described by an agri-
cultural duke who had stayed there as hav-
ing just enough sense to come in out OF
the rain.
Sir Patrick Fitzgerald occasionally de-
parted from the strict limits of this set in
the big parties-especIally lately, when
money was becoming scarcer, several
financial friends who could put him on to
good things had been included, the result
being that Lady Harrowfeld had not al
ways shed the light Of her countenance
upon the festivities.

wealth. And Lady Harrowfeld had said,

cause If you are going to have these Great
ures l sha'n't come"
This time however, she had not been so
exigent. 1t happened to suit some other
arrangements of hers to spend Whitsun-
tide at Beechleigh, so she consented to
chaperon Morella Winmarleigh without
asking for list of the guests.
Hector had never cOnformed to any
special set: he went here. there and every

had never seen him within its gates, al

he knew, for he had found ont when the
trains got in.
Barbara was a good sort: he remem-

where. She had evidently taken to the
new cousin; but Mildred had not.
Hitherto Mildred had been the undis
puted and acknowledged beauty OF every
party, and she resented Theodora's pres
ence because she was clever enough not
to have any illusions upon the matter of
their mutual looks. She saw Theodore
was beautiful and young and charming,
and had every advantage of perfect Paris
clothes. Uncle Patrick had been a fool to
ask her, and she must take measures to
suppress her at once.
Sir Patrick, on the other hand, was very
pleased with himself for having given the
invitation. He had made inquiries, and
found that Josiah was a man Of great and
solid wealth, with interests in several

pleased at tle Invitation, felt nervous at
the thought of the visit. Not so Mr.. Top

probably have to blush for his master, and
might get a very secondary place in the

when ne could let it be known what mag

Brown.
"A long sight more than I'd get out OF
any lord" he thought. And money is
money. And all classes feels it,
Theodore, on the contrary, was neither
proud nor pleased. She looked forward to
the visit with excitement and dread.
Hector would be there, among all these
people whom she did not know And her
awakened heart had begun to tell her that
she loved him wildly and to see him
could only be alternate mad joy and re-
morse and anguish.
1t was still drizzling on the Saturday
afternoon when they arrived. So tea
awaited them in the great saloon which
made the centre of the north side of the
house. Several Of the rest of the guests
had come down in the same train, but they
did not know them, nor did any of them
trouble themselves much to speak to them
on the short drive from the station. A
few words, that was all, addressed to
Theodore Josiah was ignored.
