A LITTLE COWARD. i That was what Miss Merivale had called her that morning when she trembled and turned pale because the black mare reared with her. She begged Sir Robert to take her off, and stood in ignominious safety while Agatha Merivale mounted Stella and rode off triumphantly down the avenue, She was a coward, Shedid not deny it, and was sometimes very much ashamed of it. But no one had seemed to mind it until Agatha Merivale came, with her bold, dark eves and her dash- ing ways, her riding and hunting ; and ev erybody admired Agatha so much, even Sir Robert ! She almost hated Agatha! You! see, until Agatha came they had been | so happy at De Rossett. Little orphan | Madelaine Leigh had never been so happy in her life as here at the hall, with sweet Lady de Rossett, who was her guardian, and her son, Sir Robert. They were so kind and good to her, They petted her and loved her so. now Agatha had come, and for two kept the house in a turmoil of gayety, life wretched, Lina’s maid reported that everybody Merivale.

But at the little gate that led from the park into the fields Lina was greatly disconcerted by an unexpected en-| counter with Sir Robert and Miss Merivale, who came laughing and talk- ing along the path, both looking bright and handsome in the golden rays of | the setting sun. She brushed past them with a hasty « good-evening,” but Sir Robert turned back to speak to her. “ Where are you going, Lina?" he asked. “To Aunt Margaret's, swered, not looking at him. “Alone, Lina? Are you not afraid ? If vou will wait a little while 1 will go with you,” Sir Robert said, looking down kindly at the girl's flushed cheeks and averted eves. ” she an- “1 will not trouble you.

As she stood in the pantry, looking around for spoons with no light but a faint gleam from the hall Jamp, a sound of Jow voices caught her ear, The pantry was on the ground floor, its iron-bharred shuttered window look- ing into the garden. The sound was outside the wi indow, and Lina paused to listen. The first word that caught her startled her. “ A thousand pounds and all the old woman's jewelry and plate!” said a man’s voice, in a husky under- tone. “Yes,” was the reply in a woman’s voice—the voice, Lina knew, of Park- ins, Mrs, Harrington's model, soft- yoiced, lady-like nurse—* and there ‘won't be any trouble about it, because have let the women go away to stay i: and sent the gardener on a errand to misses’ brother’s t wen- | She'd be no hindrance § anyway-—a a silly, | timid little thing.

Lina began some evasive answer, but instaatly remembered that Aunt Mar- garet must be told the whole story or nothing could be done to save her. She did tell it, and Aunt Margaret listened in silent nation, and usly with : " Why didn’t she idle Yinn alot 1 side, game her. ne for Ip How Bn child ¥ the old lady, as onster | you run right | hot “ Because 1 knew Parkins would be up here in a few minutes and find 1 and then Ah, well, So you staved to save the old woman 1f youn could, What are you doing, child?

Then she went in and helped Parkins bar the door, and they went together upstairs.
