Sunnv IT'Hs'A1'" why I asked you here to talk td me, amuse mo I" Sunny's coldr rose, she began to feel angry; then alio alterod her mind. Thero was something about tho Jlttle gray old woman that touched her, that In somo way aroused n, scnao of pity, 8ho liad up right to pity a duchess at all. bul there It was. "Well, whero Bhalt 1 begin?" she said. "Vou can begin whero you like. 'Wheru did you live, how did you manago; ' wero very poor, I suppose?" Hailn t n shoo lo my foot, and my only drcsa was all rags. Aunt had worn It out beforo It camo to me," Sunny aahl, "I remember tho troublo I used o havo to keep my .mocs on, tied 'cm up with string Sno paused. "Some times, when I heard nn organ playing In tho street, I'd forget and start lo dance, and1 then I'd loso both shocu. Onco one of tho boys picked ono up and ran oft with It, and I had to hop after him. Hut I caught him, all right." 'Go on," her Grace wild. Im going on," tfunny said. "I'm tclllni; you " Sho paused. Tlio footman camo In wilh tho ten on a silver trav. llo placed It on n little table. That a all ; you can go," her Grace said. "Sunny Duerow, pour out tho tea." Bunny poured It out; sho began o feel at home; whllo sho poured out tho lea sho talked. "f,hd to go to school, of course; If I dldn t tho Inspector would havo been after aunt and how many lumps?" "Three," hor Grace snld, "Samo for me, when I can't get four," Sunny said, she rattled on, and the old woman listened. Sunny told of Ufo n Iho pickle factory, told of her small beginnings, and how aradualry and with luck sho worked her way up. "And now," nho said, "now, I've had an offer of, eighty pounds a week to day 1" "A cabinet minister's salary," her urnco said "And I daro say qulto as well earned, It not better 1" "But I don't know If I shall take It yet: It depends on Uarstowe." "Who's Barstowo?" Sunny opened her eyes. "Uarstowo of tho Iloalm," sho said. "Vou don't know him?" "No, who Is he? And why docs it depend on him?" Sunny oxplalned. "So, though you aro not bound by nny agreement with him, yet you will con sider him before accepting euch n fine offer?" "Of course," Sunny said. "You aro a rurlotw girl ! Unusually honest, I should nay 1" "Nothing to virlto home nbout," Sunny said. "If one's honest, one's Just hon est and you can't help It, can you?" "No, 1 supposo not and so so you aro going to marry Dobrlngton?" Sunny started, sho sat bolt upright, "I'm going to do no Huch thing," alio said sharply. "But ho loves you !" "Who who told you?" "I didn't need tolllnc. I saw It : It was very apparent. Ilo worships tho ground you walk on, Sunny Ducrow t" "Anyhow," Sunny iiald. 'I am not gotni- to marry him!" "Why not?" "Ilocausc oh, bccauM n is Impossi ble 1" "Why 'is It Impossible?" Sunny stood up. "Because." hhc said, "because ho-la Viscount Dobrlngton and I'm Sunny Ducrow, that's u hy it la im possible I" Her Graco looked at her. "Ksplaln,"' sho said. "It Is the difference la your rank you mean?" "'if course, tho difference hetweo us In every way! I'm not In his class. Hid mother would break her heart, his father would havo fits; besides, he'd bo nil'rr ablo after a time his friends would turn against him and laugh nt him I" "Hot," her Graco said. Sunny ntnrtcd. "Hut It ) true.'' she said. "A man can't marry beneath him ; if if he found out afterward he'd made u mistake " "Ho wouldn't, jou'ro. too clever for that ; you'd keep a man's heart. Sunny Ducrow, always and forever I fancy that a man who loved you onco would lovo you always and consider tho world will lost for you !" "But jou" Sunny gasped. "Vou are " 'Tho Duchess of Lulham," tho old lady s,ald. "And I know what I am talk ing about. I am an old woman, a very old woman and a 11 1 1 lo tlrrd. I have seen many things, and I can hoo with far clearer oyes than you can. I've Hcen tho shams of this world, I'vo spcii the lies, tho subterfuges, tho pretenses, till I'm tired of them. I havo seen young men und young women marry because they happened to movo In tho same cir cles, and I have seen them pass from morn boredom to sIipt haired of one another, I havo teen all that and a great deal mon And I hao learned ono thing, old Moman that I am. I have learned that rank and rlchs, tlth-s, and Norman blood, go for nothing when put In tho balance against honest, honorable love." Kunny gasp-vl. This from a duchess, this from her Grace, It sounded like rank heresy 1 "I'll tell jou something.' her Grace paused. "I was a poor gill. M- father was a curate In a llttlo village He had six children, four sons nnd two daugh ters, of which I was tho elder. We had less than a hundred pounds o year to llvo on, and wo were almost as ihahby as j-ou were, Sunny. And then, ono day, thero camo Into my 1 1 r- a man of rank and position, Infinitely above the ran Is of Dobrlngton. This man loved mo and I loved him. Ho asked mo to b his wlfo and f thought then, as j-ou think now, Sunny. I thought that the tlivo might como when he would regret having mar ried a poor girl, a girl of lowly position and of no birth. "I hesitated; my father thought 'with mo; ho was a most unworldly man. But in tho ond my lover won, lu mado inn his wife " Sho paused "Thank God !" sho whispered. "Thank God. he mndo mo his wife! 11 Is fifty jears aco now. Sunny For thirty years I was the hap piest woman on this earth, for thirty years I held his lon and mado him happy. He noer regretted, he ho blessed the day when ho look me from tuv llttlo rountrj home. Hi died In my arms, blessing mo and thanking God for our happlnesh " She paused ; tho tears wero In her eyes, they rolled down her face Sho went to Sunny and put her arms around her. 'Thllil. that Is the lesson I wanted to teach you, that Is why I sent for you: put lovo first. Pnhrlnglon lo a cood. true, honest lad It Is the man himself. not his nnnie, nor his birth, not his title, nor his frlcnd-i Consider him: only consider him nnd his love, for you. j'our lovn for him. It is tho advice of an old old woman, a woman who has known tho best and great st happiness that this world can give;. don't miss It, Sunnj-, don't loso It !" "Vou vou mean It?" Sunny Tihls pered. "Vou mean It?" Sho put her arms around the o!d lady and clung to her. t 'Vou mean It, you think that "I know he loves vou, and he's a good lad : his love Is worth thi having ' Take It. keen It. cherish It. hold his lovo! "And now give mo another cup of tea, wiin onty two lumps in tins time, u you please, Sunnv lluerow." "Bul but his mother'" Sunny s.ild. "His mother, sho naked me, nnd " "Nnrah Blessendale Is a fnoj ! She has not hud the experience I havo had. Sho knows nothing: sho married because she was told It was her duly to ninrr I-'ortunatelv for her. shn lum nev-r realized what love is nnd what loe means. Thero aro other women of her position who man-led as sho marr'td and then came afterward to learn that there Is such a thing n loc.
