The next day came the news thaf Dorothy would leave for Darrow-cuirmoor ? Lord Derrltnan's estate In Scotland?with Lady Derrlman, and' a week went slowly by, during which time Enid lay In bed, too weak to speak or even to look about her?the tension on her nerves had been altogether too much for her. But one morning sho took a turn for the better, and then every hour she Beemed to grow stronger, although it is to bo doubted whether she might not have passed away altogether from sheer Inanition If she had not been so untiringly, so marvelously nursed. Simmonds had not failed to obey Dorothy's order to write to her each week, and he put the subject ol PnLJ'n ~ 1 1 i-juiu o lu'iucu tu nor orieny y6I i strongly, but Miss Krebwell did not [ deign to answer. For all she cared her cousin might have died. Enid's thoughts were troubled ones as she sat beneath the shade of the trees. She had heard from Slmmonds ol her uncle's bequest, and when she thought of her future her heart wa* full of gratitude to the dead man. "How I wronged him," she mused one evening, one of the late July days, as she moved slowly up and down In the cool with a white shawl wrapped around her. "While I called him unkind lie thought of me, poor Uncle Robert! With this money I can never starve. Wuon I am a little stronger I will go away and make money somehow. 1 can paint or teach, or?" The thoughts ended in a flutter, for, turning quickly, Enid saw a young man beside her, and with a sudden start recognized Lord Derriman. "Miss Leslie!" he exclaimed in surprise. "Why, I never dreamed to see you here," then in a tone of consternation. he added, "but you are ill!" Enid's pale face flushed, and she Bank gratefully into a chair near at hand. She was not strong enough for surprises. "I?I am better now," she said faintly. "I have not been very well lately." Lord Derriinan stood and gazed at her. Her great blue eyes filled him with admiration and pity, too. What a sweet, childlike, pure face hers was. "Your cousin has known nothing of this," he declared after a pause, "or she would have been terribly distressed. She thinks you are staying away, and wonders why you have not written. When I tell her?" "Tell her nothing," Enid said, speaking firmly and almost contemptuously; "i would rather not distress her!" He noticed nothing in her words but a sweet unselfishness. "Good-bye, Miss Leslie; I trust you will soon be yourself again, and I am not to toll Miss Dorothy? Well, perhaps it is best not, she has had so much suffering lately; we must spare her all we can." A color mounted to his face as ho spoke, and Enid guessed his secret. When he grasped her hand a Btrange sensation crept into her heart?a mixture of naln. of onw desolation, and as he strode away two great tears rolled down her cheeks aud fell will: a splash on her hands. CIIAITKK V. .. - * - The Itctrothal. After Lord Derrinian's hrief visit nnd the additional proof of Dorothy's falseness and unkindness that he had unwittingly given Enid had one desire clear and firm in her mind?to get as strong as possible and to start her life of independence. So, when the afternoon heat, was PMfilin o' rl I-1 ?

Meanwhile, up at Barrow-cuirmoor, Dorothy Knebwell was living a brief life of perfect happiness. Day by day she felt her power growing over Gervals, and, basking in the delight that came from her strangely passionate, almost unreasonable love, she expanded and softened into the finest imitation of a pure, sweet, unj selfish "Milan. Even Lady Derrlman, I W'bn Ot m n ml ? ? . ~ nuuilfj CWllllUUn Bt'IlSO I with In . othor good attributes, was deceivc;*l; she was won by tho girl's beauty, '.er ebarin and the undeniable t rn lit ihat Dorothy loved Gervals with r love past description.

Thoy walked on, speaking every now and then, and at last came to a standstill, and their eyes met. Dorothy's breast was filled with a tumult of strong sensations.

So it was that Dorothy loved this man. While ho? As ho stood gazing at lier vivid beauty it seemed to him as if he could find no prayer )r thought sufficiently strong to thank heaven for the happiness in store for I him. He spoke no words, but simply put out his hands and drew the slender, | graceful form to his heart. "My love! my darling!" he murmured, as after one moment he beut his head an 1 their lips met. | Dorothy was no shy, coy maiden; she was a woman, with all the attributes of a woman about her. Hie heart, his senses were blinded by the joy her love brought him. "Why have you not spoken to me before?" she asked, half reproachfully, as they rose at last to go homeward, and she slipped her hand through his arm. "Have you hungered for my words, dearest?" he asked, interpreting hei speech as meaning only more gladness for him. "Ah, if you only knew how often I have been tempted, how often my heart has failed me!" "Did you think I should be unkind to you, Gervais?" "I don't know what I thought You are so beautiful, so wonderfully lovely, my sweet, I feared you might have nothing to say to me." "Foolish boy!" Dorothy laughed softly, and she lifted her lips oncc more to his. "And now it is really true, and 1 hold you in my arms, my life, ni> wife?yes, my wife?I can scarcelj believe it." Dorothy clung to him suddenly. "Yes, yes; your wife!" she repeat' ed, hurriedly. "Gervais, make nu your who soon; don't lot us wall long; I am frightened!" "Frightened at what, ray darling?' and ho gently caressed the golder curls on her forehead; "nothins earthly shall harm you while 1 an, near you." "I am frightened lest you should be taken from me," the girl said, anc! for one moment her cheeks blanched and even her lips turned pale. "Oh think of that! Think how awful il would be, Gervais; so?" He folded his arms closer arounc her. "You cannot long for our marriage Dorothy, as I do; it has been a goldei dream so long, I yearn for the reali zatlon." Dorothy laid her head on his shoul der flllfl parrlofl ! > a .wt In II ? . .V-VA tun IIUMM vw utri njia. "I am ready when you ask me, Ger vais," she murmured, and there was an eager, anxious look In her eyes which he did not see. "Don't thinlme terribly forward," she added, wit! a soft laugh, "if I nay I cannot heai the thought of waiting, dear." Gervais' heart thrilled fast; he sav in this only a reproduction of hi! own great love, and it brought ful and complete gratification. "We will speak to our mother dearest," ho said, tenderly. "Yes, dear mother wiSl tell us oui best course," Dorothy agreed softly uui nt!i lituu was mrneu irom mm and he did not see the frown that hi words had conjured up.

Your Child. Enid had not reckoned without he host when she had thought of mak j Ing her home beneath the humbl roof of Mrs. Lawson, laundress an< shirt ironer. "Well, to bn sure! And you're i sight for sore eyes, that you arc miss! Come in, come in!" and Mrf Lawson hastily dusted a chair wltl ; her spotless apron, and turned he hack on her hot iron and the man (lounced petticoat that she had bee working at. Enid felt a lump rise in her throa I and tears spring to her eyes as hh j beheld the once familiar face and th 'misery that had been on her whei last she had seen it, but she succesf ! fully choked down her emotion nn i Kl?dlA/1 1, 9 ...Ul.

"And it's mo that is glad to hav you back again, Miss Leslie, that' what it Is," she declared, "and I'l make you as comfortable as I car I'm only sorry, miss, that yer can bavo yer old room, but it's Jet by til year to a gentleman who attends t planners, and so, you see?" "But I would much rr/ther have th small one. I don't want large rooms I am alone now," Enid returned, wltl a faint smile. Then began a curious life for th girl, and by no means a bluauaiit one j August In London is synonymous I with discomfoYt, even to those dwelling in palaces; how much more so, then, to the poor whose homes are in dingy, BQualid courts and lanes. Mrs. ! Lawson's tiny, ill-ventilated house wan in a tnrninc off r>n? of tVm oMo ? o ? ? I I streets In Oxford street, and Enid up r In h?_r attic Buffered both in body and thlnd. Each morning she was up by dawn * and hard at work, placing foer easel f beneath the skylight to get all the benefit of the window she could, but her hopes and ambitions were soon ' depressed, for she had spent her first J day in town in trailing wearily through the hot streets, with a few paintings held carefully beneath her ' arm, to every color shop and artist's 3 emporium she could find round about, * and in one and all sho had been received the same?the pictures wero viewed in a half-contemptuous, half- 5 pitying manner, and Bhe was told 5 there was no ononinir fnr Riioh thlnca I that no one bought paintings nowa- ? days, and that the market was overstocked. With a disheartened shlvor of fatigue Enid had wended her way I home, and put the small paintings ! in their corner again. It was the proverbial story of an artist's 111 fortune; but Enid was endowed with 1 plenty of moral courage and common 1 sense. She determined, if tho pictures were no good, she must do something else, and even went so far as to ask Mrs. Lawson to give her Bomo Ironing to do; but the laundress , Bhook her head. "You caii never do this, miss," she declared; "your back 'ud break and ' you'd die of tho 'eat. The 'eat is eomothink awful!" "Well, I must do something," Enid uoneicu, niiu (I. iun:cu litUgll, 1*11(1 | Eho turned out-of-doors again, with ft | mist before her eyes. 1 How hard life was!

Fnnious Strong Man Nearly Starved Seeking Job ns Model. I would never say die while thero remained a sculptor unvisited, and in . course of time I knocked at tho door of the atelier of a well known sculptor, Krauk by name. He answered iii person. "Do you want a model?" I inquired in my best French. His "non" was mighty, and meant to be conclusive. Spurred on by desperation, I rattled out some explanation, but ho shook his head, and in his hurry to return to his work almost thrust me from the door. In sadness, and with weary steps, I descended the stairs, and the lower I got the greater became my anger and indignation at the treatment I \ had received. At the bottom, in tho court, I stood undecided, but bitter. Upstairs I had seen through the door way 01 mo studio tliat Krauk was working on a statue endeavoring to model in clay a Greek god; and there I was, with the very perfect bodily development he was trying to reproduce in clay, starving on his doorstep. It was moro than flesh and blood and an empty stomach could stand. The courtyard was deserted, the staircase silent, and none too light. That dccided me. I stripped off my upper garments and wasted no time in mounting to Krauk's studio. I thundered at the door. It (lew open, and I prepared to follow in, but?It stopped on a chain! Krauk was evidently determined that callers should not worry him. He came to the door yeuing, apparently in anger. As I could not get my body in, I thrust in my arm. It stopped Krauk; for a moment lie was struck dumb. The next instant ho had removed the chain and pulled me into tho studio, where I stood with his gaze fixed upon me in profound admiration of my muscular development, which hold him speechless. Then, his eyes agleam with excitement, he launched himself upon me, and, as is tho way of foreigners, embraced me in his wild enthusiasm, kissing me on both cheeks, while I thanked heaven that my persistency had met with its reward. My anxiety at the moment was, however, to be fed, not admired, and finding that he was a good linguist, although, when I had on my first application endeavored to persuade him to see mo stripped, he had feigned ignorance of my language, T told him that I was hungry?ravenous; that food had not passed my lips far three days.
