"Oh, | beg your pardon sir, | didn't
see you at first" and he looked up
from his book and smiled at her.
An attractive smile it was on that
big ugly face. Such a gentleman,
Mr.. Cayley," she thought to herself
as she went on, and wondered what
the master would do without HIM. If
THIS brother, for instance, had to be
bundled back to Australia, it was
Mr.. Cayley who would do most of
the bundling.

she would have said that lin anv

Dapper little Mark, with his neat
pointed beard and his carefully
curled mustache; with his quick
daring eyes, always moving from
one to the other of any company he
was in, to register one more smile
to his credit when he had said a good
thing, one more expectant look
when he was only waiting his turn
to say it; he was very different

lOweringly.

IF you please, sir" she said in a
low, respectful voice, "can you tell
me where the master is? It's Mr..
Robert called"
"What?" said Cayley, looking up
rom Lis book. Who"
Audrey repeated her question.
4 don't know. He went up to
the Temple after lunch.''
Thank you, sir. l will go up to
the Temple"
Cayley returned to his book.
The "Temple" was a brick sum-
mer-house, in the gardens at the
back of the house, about three hum
dred yards away. Here Mark medi-
tated sometimes before retiring to
the office" to put his thoughts upon
paper. The thoughts were not of
any great value; moreover, they
were given off at the dinner-table
more often than they got on to pa
per, and got on to paper more often
than they got into print. But that
! did not prevent the mast of The
Red House from being a little pain
ed when visitor treated the Temple
carelessly, as if it had been erected
for the ordinary purpose of flirta-
ton and Notwithstanding.
Audrey walked slowly up to the
Temple, looked in and walked slow
ly back. All that walk for nothing.

his room. mot well-dressed enough

Auntie was partial to nice rabbit,

AS Audrey came across the hall
she gave a little start as she saw Mr..
Cayley suddenly, sitting unohtru-
sively in a seat beneath one of the
front windows, reading.
No reason why he shouldn't be
there; certainly a much cooler place
than the golf-links on such a day;

air about the house that afternoon.
