And who la Miss Lllbourne Does

She Is an orphan my father and
mother adopted her said Bernard his
eyos fixed upon the sketch
Is she pretty asked Mildred in
her slow direct way
Yes very
And she wont sit still when you
ask her How very unkind
Oh she was always very busy you
know said Bernard In some confu
sion Uae girls had always plenty to
do but thanks to old Miss Selwyn
thats over now
The sketch finished he showed Itjo
Lady Mildred who was evidently
much struck
VHow clever you aro to do so much
with so few touches I should like to
show It to my father Wtll you Mr
Stelllng Selwyn I mean be sokind
as to give It to me
1 had meant to keep Iti hejsald
hesitatingly as a remembrance o
one of those goldeif days Which dont

lng a summer afternoon than sculling
Idly In the shade of the great trees on
the glassy surface of the water with
Lady Mildrds proud sweet face be-
fore him shaded by her wldebrlmmed
hat A long silence fell upon both during
the latter part of that row and as they
walked slowly home together under a
saffroncolored evening sky they hard-
ly spoke at all Lady Mildred was
thinking that her companion with
twenty thousand a year to back him
was more than endurable Bernard
was wishing that Marguerite could
have the advantage of a few lessons
In the art of dress from Lady Mildred
He wished bo even more when her
ladyship walked Into the drawing
room some time later her clearcut
face and pliant figure set off by ame
thystcolored plush which caught the
light on all Its rippling folds
She was conscious aB she entered
that she was looking at that moment
as beautiful as It Was In her power to
look but nothing In her perfect man-
ners betrayed the thought She
crossed the rodm slowly purposely
stopping on the way to replace some
flo weis which had fallen from a vase
As she turned again her glance fell
uponJa1gentejnan who stood on the
white fur hearthrug talking to her

I arrived two or three hours ago
They told me you were somewhere in
the grounds so I went to look for
you as far es the lakeside Then I
came bade you were being well en-
tertained and did not want me
Lady Mildreds ebbing spirits came
rushing back In swift flow She
thought she had a key now to bis cold
greeting and worn appearance It was
love ot her she thought which was
telling Upon him ahe had accom-
plished her object she had made Val
dane jealous
CHAPTER XI
Bernard Selwyn had persuaded the
doctor and his family to go to the sea
side It was a treat which they had
never before enjoyed and great was
their delight at the prospect The

shown such flipiisht andconsideration
He was notatjall unduly elated at hla
prosperity alfia had done Just the right
thing n m akjng no radical change un
til the will wfia proved and the tedious

But whenAhe cbttage at Bourne

by gently refining to go

But butyiiy dear spluttered the
good doctor thats false delicacy you
