They celebrated Christmas Eve in bosterous
fashion at Munro Camp. Sullivan, the saloon
keeper, had kept couple of huge plum pud-
dings in secret place, despite the hunger that
attacked the camp, and it was whispered here
and there that Christmas day would mark high
revels Already, and il was but early on
Christmas Eve, the miners had assembled at
the drinking den, the spirit of the season work
ing strongly in their hearts. II had been a hard
winter, and il promised TO be harder one but
they did not care for that Most of them had
done well before the awful Arctic frosts closed
down. Their sacks were still well supplied with
dust. They swore one to another that they
would make the town hum

camp, had already lost ten thousand dollars

had altered much in the five years that had
elapsed since he left England.
He had lost touch with England, he had de-
liberately severed himself from Marian for
what did England want with failure? That
was what he was--a failure-the product of
his age. Tie had failed In the wider field Of
the world. BY this time Marian would be mar

win tell you what think Of your infamous
conduct presently"
Thoroughly miserable, chilled through TO the
heart, Lionel drove on in silence, until they
reached the gate of the Manor. The gate
keeper curtseyed. Her small son whipped off
his cap; but the Colonel had no eyes for them.
Come into my study" he said, as the pair
dismounted. Il shall be ready for you in two
minutes. MOI l don't want to wash; don't
want tea; don't want anything"
The lad threw back his head as he walked
along the corridor and knocked at an old oak
door.
Come in" He entered, to find his father
in his old judicial position before the roaring
fire, legs wide apart, hands clasped beneath
his coat-tais, monocle screwed firmly into place.
Il hope you have come to apologize for your
practical joke" he said sternly, as his son en-
tered. Lionel made his last appeal.
Father, can't you understand me. 1t isn't
joke; it's deadly earnest Do you think !

Lionel was holding himself in check remark
ably well; but he possessed something of his
fathers fiery temper, the terrible Cartwright
temper; and it was already almost at boiling
point.
You take after your mother, you young
cub, growled the Colonel. Il might have
known that her son would have disappointed
me at every turn-and now"
me at every turn-nad now"
Lionel was white to the lips, he took hasty

hands He knew that fiery Cartwright temper
Of old He and the Colonel had INDUCED in a
lawsuit that lasted for fifteen years before
peace was restored.
But you'll stay here. Where else should you
go"
II can't. My fathers your friend and he
wouldn't come here if he knew | was with you.
Besides, you seem to forget. I'm practically
penniless; have to find for myself now. I'm
off at once"
Sir John excused himself abruptly, and, in
stead of reappearng Immediately, sent depu-
ty. When Marian entered the room Lionel
caught his breath sharply. 1t was evident the
girl had heard something of the state of af-
fairs, for her face was concerned; her eyes
seemed suffused with tears. She was very
lovable, but Lionel gritted his teeth hard at the
thought that she was not for him. He was an
outcast, a pauper to all intents and purposes.
whilst she was the daughter of wealthy man.
Lionel, is it too late? | mean, can not per-
suade you to go back to your father"
He shook his head sadly. ITS no use, Ma
rian. He struck me. But for that I'd have
borne everything. The wonder is that ] did not
strike hun back. We're hot-tempered folks, we
Cartwrights; but was kept back from that"
Neither knew how II happened; but some
how the girl was in his arms, and he was STAN
mering out mad ncoherents, kissing her rich
hair passionately, urging her to look up into his
face and read the story written there. Then
he came to his senses, with her mouth on his.
I'm a cad" he said. I'm nothing better
than n cad. Marian I'm pauper. Pm leaving
my fathers home in disgrace; I'd no right to
tell you that | loved you"

love give you the right? I'm glad you told me-
because III be able to send you away with hope
in your heart"
They talked for little while as lovers will
but Lionel's mind returned TO his position, and
presently he put her from him

for there had been vast contempt in his ia
theirs tone.

She's not to blame; she never was TO blame
You drove her TO her grave by your devilish
temper"
Leave my house, sir Cali yourself son of
mine no longerl" blazed the Colonel. &c, you
disgrace your name Don't stand there like an
ass, but leave my sight at once"
"Father-you're beside yourself with rage
Take time; don't do anything in haste"
Colonel Cartwright struck his son a fierce
blow in the face with his clenched fist and
the ring on his finger cut the lads lip deeply
He staggered and recovered himself
Don't ask me to come back to you again,
that's all" he said.
81 never shall. This place is not entailed Not
penny do you receive from me, sir--beyond-
this" He CROPPED in his pocket and produced
a pocketbook. From it ne took few notes,
which he flung in Lionel's face; then he turned
his back and stared into the fire.
Without another look at his father, Lionel
went from the room. The notes were left lying
on the carpet; he disdaned to touch them. Up
to his room he went. heavy of heart but with
the hot fire of the Cartwright anger keeping
him upright as a lance His evening clothes
were laid out, a fire cracked on the hearth But
he wasted no time.
Inc next train was not until eight, and three
hours still remained He looked down the road
and up IT, Their, with growing need for sym
patty upon him, and with a memory Of the
words spoken to him by Marian an hour or so
before, he struck up the hill.
