She isn't a bit as I pictured her, David. If you remember. Monty Fisher described her as very pretty and rather-common didn't he? Well. don't call her pretty, do you?

 David shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, think sh eis pretty" he said Ronchalantly. "Or she would be if she didn't look so sad: and she's most certainly q lady

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

He turned slowly away, drawing the door to behind him before he went down the wide staircase to his own study.
 The car had already gone 10 Sel- mont, the nearest station. IT the train was punctual she ought to be here in a few moments.
 Even as he glanced at his watch he heard the motor-horn as the car turned in at the drive. He stopped. irresolute.
 A servant crossed the hall to open 1 the door, Miss Narney came hurry ing down the stairs.
 That must be she, David. Oh dear, do feel so nervous" David looked little nervous him self. He passed hand rather aci- tatedly across the back of his head and glanced at himself in a long mir TOT that hung on one wall; but he went forward composcdly enough when the car drew up nt the s,ep. and servant opened the door,
 A little dying ray of sunshine struggled through the gray sky as Mary Furniral stepped from the car, shining warmly upon her sweet face and blacs-robed figure.
 Sunshine to greet her! \ good omen," thought Miss varney as she Unceremoniously brushed David aside and went forward with outstretched hands.
 My dear child, am so glad 10 see you! Welcome home--to Nigers home."
 The girls eyes went nast the little lady's kindly face to where David stood. and sort Of fear momentari- ly filled her eyes. But it was gone immediately and she returned Miss Narney's impulsire kiss with warmth.
 "f am so glad 10 come. and I think 1t is sweet Of you 10 want me"
 She shook hands with David com posedly enough, but she did not raise her eyes 10 his. Her lips were little tremnlous. Now tho first flush of excitement had died away she looked pale and Ill.
 Tea will be all ready when you have taken off your hat. David. told them 10 put tea in your study it's so much more cozy there. You don't mind, do you?"
 She did not wait for an answer. The two women went away up tho wide staircase together.
 
 David Brethcrton stood looking after them with little frown. She was glad to come. he was sure Of that; the tone of her voice and the tremulous agitation Of her face told him more than sn cffusion Of words could have done. But he remom- bered how she had avoided meeting his eyes.

 David put ont his hand and took hers.
 "I think you're the best woman in ihe world" he said: and. stopping, gave her hearty kiss.

 David made no comment. and she went softly away. closing the door.
 By dinner time Mary seemed to have recovered something Of her cheeriness: there was little white added to the sombre black Of her frock. and she was not so pale.
 As David Sat at tho head of the table. the light from the shaded lamp falling on his face. she could see again that odd. uncertain likeness 10 his dead brother that had so upset hfr that night al the flat: it made her feel fanciful: if almost seemed as If Nigel were living presence in the room. watching her. perfectly con- scious or what she was doing.
 She woke from her dreaming with little start.
 David was speaking to her: his eyes met hers.witi1 that half dcpre- eating. half sympathetic expression which she could not quito fathom.

 Mary shook her head: faint gleam Of interest crossed her face.
