The dinner hour at r Rutheven Terrace came and west. The Rev. James Branch left for his prayer meeting and returned for tea. Still there was no news of the wan derers. Then MT. Branch Senior. a large heavy man, who had been snoring upon the sofa most of the afternoon, found it time to explain several mysterious hints which he had let fall since his arrival.

 Mrs. Smith, who was almost hys- terical, obeyed him at once.
 Ut is my duty" he said, "to speak to you concerning your hus- band, whose discourteous absence from home today has so distressed you. I am afraid, Ellen, that my presence here today may account for Toms absence. He may have sus- pected that l have discovered some- thing he has been keeping from you"
 Keeping something from mel" she cried tensely. Go on. Uncle"
 Would it be news to you, Ellen, to hear that your husband is no longer with Miles X Co.?' he asked sol emnly.
 DO you mean that he's lost his job?"
 He has not been there for three months,s Mir. Branch declared Mrs. smith drew sharp breath and looked at him incredulouslX.
 Where has he been, then?' she demanded. i've had my money every week. and no trouble"
 Mir Branch shook his head.
 q cannot tell you that, Ellen" he said. "AIl that I know is that he left Messrs. Miles & Co. three months ago, without even asking for d character l cannot hear of his being employed in any similar estab- lishment. I am afraid we must con- clude," he added, batting his niece upon the head, that the money with which he has been supplying you has come from the Savings bank, or has been obtained in some-less reputable way"
 Mrs Smith fired up.
 Tom may be a fool" she declared, but he was never a one for horse racing or such-like."
 Let us. hope. my dear" Mir, Branch said. earnestly, that we have not been deceived"
 Then there was a timid ring at the bell, and the children entered. alone. They were very untidy and very Frightened. but the touch of the wind and the sun was upon their faces. A little of the joy of the day, too. re- mained. Cecilia, with her hair blown all over her face, and her pink cheeks, was almost pretty.
 Where in the name of goodness have you two been to all day?" their me ther demanded.
 We've been in the country-real country" Cecilia answered triumph antly.
 Their mother looked towards the door.
 "Where's your father?" she asked ominous1y.
 Cecilia shook her head.
 "Gone," she answered
 Her mother took hold Of Cecilia by the shoulders and shook her.

 There was no remorse in him. After all. he fairly well was suited by the outcome of his mistake, get ting safely away was what concerned him. In his present plight, weapon less. without a cent in his pocket, with the countryside rousing to hunt him, escape was out of prospect

 In that same breath the feeble flame in the fireplace caught well and flared up, it's blaze filling the cabin with a wavery, unreliable radiance.
