"By all means," was tho answer,

As they reached the entrance to the
garden, Dorothy stopped suddenly.
"Oh, my bangle!" she exclaimed;
"my diamond bangle! It Is gone!"
Lord Derrlman looked to the
ground.
"I know," continued the glrli
quickly; "I must have dropped It by
tho chair. Oh, I hope It will not be
lost; I prize It very highly!"
"I will return ut once," said Lord
Derriman.
"Lot me go," put in Enid, timidly;
but she felt her cousin's fingers grip
her arms, and Dorothy had accepted
tho offer with many apologia^ and
the young man had dlsappeuitypt beforo
her arm was released.
Dorothy looked about her swiftly;

"Take this!" she commanded rath*

will come to what they call the wood;

you must climb it; a littlo way in you

Come back as soon as you can?you
understand?"
Enid lifted her pure, true eyes tc
tho other girl's face, flushed and agitated,
yet beautiful in its agitation.
"Is this something wrong?" she
whispered.
Dorothy stamped her foot, and a
smothered exclamation broke from
her lips; then the knowledge that she
must diplomatize came to her.
"It is for charity. You know what
papa is! This is a poor man I want
to help, and I don't want any one but
you to know! Now you see?"
Enid did not quite see. A hundred
different thoughts rushed to her
t^ln/1 *1 * ? - ?
iiuuu, i,iiici uinuii^ mem ucidr wny
Dorothy should not give this charity
to the poor man herself, but utterly
bewildered and overwhelmed by Dorothy's
energy, she turned and moved
away. Once she looked back, but her
cousin waved her on most angrily,
and she walked quickly down the
path. The way wn3 rough and Inclined
a little, and Enid carefully held
the delicate lace of her frock from
the clinging embrace of the brambles;
the music died away in the distance,
and only the sound of the birds and
the occasional sigh of the trees in the
summer breeze disturbed the silence.
She walked on and on till she
reached the gate. It was unlocked;
sne pusned it open and advanced a
few yards into the shade of the
wody inclosure. Here she stopped
and looked round. At first she saw
nothing, but after a moment she
became aware of the presence of a
man leaning moodily against a tree,
smoking.
Enid hesitated. Certainly this did
not look like a needy person or one
who should be the recipient of charity,
but she felt that he was the one
Dorothy had meant, so she went timidly
toward him. As her li?ht footfall
sounded on the ground he lifted
his head; for one instant a sharp,
almost triumphant look overspread
his face, the next his brow clouded,
and he compressed his litis, on thn
upper ono of which a soft goldenbrown
mustache grew, us he took in
tho girl before him.
"If you ploase," Enid Bald, timidly,
holding out the note, "Miss Knebwell
lias sent you this."
Ho pushed himself from the tree
into a standing position.
"Who are you?" he asked, sharply,
and 10iiId felt Instinctively that he was
not of refined origin, his voice was so
common and coarse.
"I am her cousin, Enid Leslie."
He took the note, and pushing his
hat back on his head, oponed it lels11

crraml was done, but he stopped her.
"Wait," he said; "I may wish to
send some reply."
She stood still, and as he opened
the letter she had a good opportunity
to observe him. Rarely, even in her
dreamy moments alone with her
painting, had she conjured up a more
strikingly handsome face; it was
more than this, the features wer<
purely Grecian, the brows noble-looking.
the eyes of deep, star-llko blue,
fringed with lashes a woman might
have envied. Enid saw that the complexion
was as rarely fair as the countenance
perfect, though a faint shade
of brown was spread over the pink
tinted skin, yet, despite nil this, the
girl let nn Intuitive wave of dislike
and fear for this man pass through
her mind. The face was beautiful
in shape and outline, but the eyes
were soulless, and the mouth bespoko
cruelty, weakness and deceit. While
?ho wondered vaguely what charity
it could he ihls well-clad person could
need, he startled her by uttering a
loud oath, crunching the paper In hb
hand, then throwing It on tho ground
and stamping on It.
ftnld's hand went to tho tree neat

this man's face alarmed her, the
coarse words jarred her. As h<

said, shortly, "and tell hor what you

"Ib that all?" slio asked, timidly.
"All that you can do," was his answer,
given In a dogged tone. "The
reBt I can manage.
Enid bowed simply.
"Good afternoon, sir," she said 1e
her gentle, courteous manner.
The man took no notlco of her salutation,
but stood with a frowning
face, and hands plunged In his pockets.

tho wood. Sho was half-way up the
incline when sho heard her name j
breathed softly, and, looking up, saw
Dorothy.
"Well?" asked tho girl. Her lips
were wlilto and pressed together.
Enid hastily repeated what the man
had told her, and Immediately sho felt
her heart beat fast at tho horrible expression
that camo over her cousin's
i lovely face. It was but for ap instant,
however; the next Dorothv was
| herself again; she took Enid's arm.
"Como this way! Pretend to admire
the roses when Lord Derrlman
comes hack, and swear by all you
hold holy not to mention what you
have done to a soul, ftwe&r!"
Enid trembled slightly.
"I can not swear, Dorothy, "she answered,
"but promise you, and you
I can trust me."
Dorothy looked at hor sharply, but
i said nothing. The earnest eyes uplifted
to her satisfied her.
Sho pushed the slender, blackrobed
figure on before her into the
wilderness of rose trees that scented
the air for yards around, and as the
i sound of a man's foot approaching
f reached her, sho Immediately bent
j over a cluster of deep red-hued blossoms
in a splendid imitation of
ecstasy.
"Oh, Enid," she cried, "aro theso
not beautiful? Look!" Then turning
her golden head, sho went on:
"Dear Lord Derrlman, what can I say
to you? See! I picked up?my bangle
just two yards from where you left
me. I am so sorry!"
"Don't mention it, Miss Knebwell.
You know I am only too pleased to
serve you in any way, and I am indeed
glad you have found your treasure.
I was Just going to give orders
to have tho whole place scoured."
Dorothy repaid this sptfech with a
gentle look from her eyes, and tho
young man's bronzed faco (lushed
with delight at tho expression in
them.
"And Miss Leslie," ho said, kindly,
turning to Enid's small, shrinking
form, "how do you like the rose garden?"
"Very much," murmured the pelrl.
She was aghast, wretched, confused
at her cousin's easy falsehood and
' strange ways. Decoptlon was a thing
unknown to Enid. She felt the same
jenBation of pity pass through her as
i iho gazed at tho young man beforo
der as she had experienced when she
i iad watched Dorothy dismount from
tier tired horso without a sign of
gratitude or thoughtfulneas.
"He looks so good, I like him," she
said to herself, and forthwith sho fell
I to sketching a montal picture, with
Qervais, Lord Derriman, as the central
object, while Dorothy chatted on
laughingly, looking to her host the
purest, sweetest and loveliest creature
he had ever beheld.
I "And now to find our chaperon,
' Enid," slio observed, after a few mini
ites.
I "And liavo s?me tea. And you

Knehwcll, regretfully.
"I want to Introduce Mlua Leslie to
her also. If I mlstako not, I knew
your father well, Miss Leslie, years
ago. What a grand artist ho was! "
Enid clasped her hands, and a color
flushed to her cheeks as h' said this.
"Poor IJnclo Charles!" sighed Dorothy,
beforo Enid could speak, "I always
loved him."
"I have two sweet, delicate pictures
from his brush," continued Lord
Derrimun, smiling.
"Oh! may I ?" The girl stopped.
"May you seo them? With all my
heart."
"Anotner time; not now, darling,"
Dorothy interrupted. "We miint get
home, you know; wo dlno out tonight."

it wan only an excuse. Dorothy
had no other engagement.
"Como again, Boon," Lord Derrlman
Raid to Enid, "and you shall seo
'our father'H pictures."
She lifted her eyes to him, and he
almoBt uttered an exclamation as he
hcheld their full heauty; even Dorothy's
handsome orbs paled heforo the
pathetic depths and sweetness of
these sapphire stars. Tho mention of
ler father's namo served as another
.ink to draw Enid's heart to this
i'oung man. Sho was content to follow
behind and listen, till thoy
reached Lady Derriman's chair, and
then, on".o more, her cheeks flushed,
ind pleasuro pushed away the pain
/vnd unhappinesa that clamored in her
breast from the'strange evonts that'

words and further pralBo of her

She was silent as the carriage boro
them away; sho longed to be alone

the life, seemed to dlo out of Dorothy

every now and then; but Miss

and the change in her brilliant,

by her.
As they reached Knebwell Hall,
Enid waited.
"Shall I leave this dress at your?"
eho began.
"Keep It?keep it!" was Dorothy's
abrupt answer.
She mounted tlio stairs to her
room, and as she passed the bend

grown almost ghastly pale, with a.
dark blue mark beneath her eyes and
round her tightly compressed lips.
"Poor Dorothy!" thought Enid,
though why she could scarcely have
told. Theu she, top, tolled wearfly
up to her shabby room. She was
tired out; the afternoon had been bo
exciting, so strange, It seemed to have
sapped her strength entirely.
When quite alono she .took off tho
dress, carefully folded It, and placed
It with the hat, gloves and sunshade;
she was not sure that her cousin had
| understood what she had said. At all
I events, she had no use for such smart
i clothes. Llko Cinderella, she had

| strokes she drew the head of Gervals,
Lord Derrlman; then, side by side,
1 sho let her pencil work, almost involuntarily,
on another face--that of
| tho man sho had met in the woods for
| her Cousin Dorothy. When she had
: done both she gazed at them earnestly,
wondering vaguely what could
| have induced her to sketch them to|
getlier. Little did she think that a
1 tlmo would come when sho would
j gazo at that paper and understand
the strange Impulse that had guided
her pencil, and that a shudder of horror
would coino over her as she beheld
the two faces as sho had drawn
them this day.
It was Sir Robert's desire that his
i niece should always take her place at
the dinner table when no company
I was present, and so when the gong
| sounded Enid woke up, and pushing
her drawing into a box In her trunk
she descended hastily.
Sho found only Dorothy and Miss
"uthbert In the large dining room.
Mis3 Knebwell wore a loose white
sown that clung to her graceful form
in long folds and made her more lovely
than usual. Sho had bunched her
?olden hair into a curly mass on tho
top of her head, and to Enid she was
simply exquisite, full of poetry and
j Seauty.
"Papa has an extra twinge In his
loot or his temper," she Bald, curtly,
is she saw Enid pause before taking
ler chair. "So sit down; he will not
iomo to-night."
Enid obeyed. She noticed that her
' iousln ate nothing, and she herself
lad llttlo appetite this evening.
When Enid came out from the dining
room and went to get her noedlevork
Bho heard her uncle's voice
alsed, loud and deep, but she passed
:ho door quickly and tried to forget
his as she sat alone In the huge salon
valtlng for Dorothy to come. It was

iwept in, and Enid rose hastily from

Dorothy suddenly rose.

"Miss Dorothy! Miss Dorothy!"
he cried, in a voice that was thick
with agitation, "for heaven's sake,

"What Is It?"
Enid had risen, and she gazed at
her cousin, who stood with hands
Masped bcforo her, looking la tho
11m light liko some beautiful statuo.
Dorothy spoke almost In a whlspor,
ind before tho man could take breath,
went on:
