She had followed" close en Wharten's heels ; she was as flushed nnd angry ns he her eyes flashed furiously; she swept past him te where Harden steed. "I want te rpeak te you I" she said imperatively. '"Send him away. The faintest smile crossed Hurdcn's face! he motioned te his secretary. "It's all Tight, Wharteu; jfeu may go." He turned te Melly. ' "I am afraid Wharten has exceeded Ms duty; It is by no order, of mine that veu were refused admittance." "He's hateful!" Melly said.

Once or twice she glanced toward 'the closed deer ns if she lenyed te go after Wharten and tell him what she thought of him. Harden pulled forward a chaff. " Wen t you sit down?" Melly gaya a sigh. The anger died from her face. "Veu said I might count en you as a friend," she began. "Or else I shouldn't be here. I've no one else te go te. I meant te ask my uncle yesterday when he came te dad's funeral, but well " Bhe set her teeth with a little vixenish click. "It's no use talking about htm," she went en scornfully. "I don't think he's human." "And you think I am?" said Harden. She glanced up at him from under her long lashes ; for a moment her eyes swept his hard face censideringly, then she smiled, a confident, trusting smile that had something very young and ap pealing about It. "Yes." she said. "I knew you aw and that's why I'm here." She pushed aside the chair he had offered ; she went te .stand beside him, and new her face was quivering and tears welled te her eyes. "Mr. Harden, we've get a man In possession In the house," she said trag ically. Thcre was a little silence, and she rushed en In confusion. "Oh, I knew you must be dlignsted; I knew I ought te be ashamed, but I can't help it, It isn't my fault. And he's such a beast of a man a great horrid fellow with a mustache, and he's rude te Jane, and rude te me. It's the rates; they haven't been paid, and I suppose new father la gene they think they never will be, and I'm se afraid. I believe he would bare come yesterday only only because of of the funeral, you knew." Twe, large tears' welled ever and splashed down onto the cheap black of her frock. "I wouldn't nsk you." she stumbled en. "only only, eh, I don't knew what te de. I don't knew what te dot" she added In a whisper. CHAPTER XIV Tim Strange Ways of Leve Harden had never heard such anculeh in n woman's voice before; for a mo ment he could think of nothing te say, then he turned and went ever te the desk where the bunch of keys still hung in tne ieck or tne drawer, and dragged up n chair. Melly, watched him through blinding tears; she was terrified new at what she had done; if Harden had turned her out of the room she would net have been In the least surprised; she only wondered that she had ever sum moned sufficient courage te come te him e,t all; perhaps It was the little tussle with Wharten that had made her brave ; perhaps it was the soft tone in Hardcn's voice yesterdnv when he asked her te leek upon him as a friend. lie came back te where she steed ; he held a cheque in his hand en which th Ink was hardly dry ; he held it te her. "I've made it out for fifty pounds," he Bald. "When that's gene, come back for some mere, if you want it." ' Melly fell back with a cheklnr err: she was trembling from head te feet. Oh. 1 couldn't I Ob. nlease. It's only six pounds that he wants. Oh, I don't knew hew te thank you! Oh. Mr. Harden," She cnught his hand, and, carrying it te her lips, kissed it in passionate gratitude. I dent knew what we should havp done," she went en wildly. "He said Me was going te tnhe some of the furni ture it isn't worth very much. Oh. I don't knew what we should hnve done." She, was sebblne nnd hysterical : she hardly knew what she wuh saying. Harden put her into a chair: he went out of the room, closing the deer be hind him; it -was some minutes before he came back. When he did he brought a glass of wine. "Urtnk this, nnd you'll feel all right in n mlniite,"- he suld. Melly Mioek her head. "I ran't! I hate wine! I eh. Terv well," she added submissively. She drank the wine obediently, it burned her threat, but it did her geed ; presently uie coier caine one te ner cheeks; she wiped her eyes fiercely. "I'm sorry I've been'sucli an Idiot I' hIie said. "LVm't tell the bejs thnt you raw me cry, will you?" she appealed. "I shall net tell them or anjr one," he assured her gravely. "We Nheuld all have been turned out In the street but for you"," she told him in a tremulous voice. "There were ether bills as well, the butcher and the baker. We don't have any mere te cut tl-.an we can pewlbly help, but one must live," sha added pathetically. Harden bad never guefuwd that things were se bad as this; he thought of tliq waste and extravagance that went en in his own househnld, nnd he longed te be able te take Melly out of the struggle of life at the White Heuse ; te give her a geed time, te buy her pretty clothes. "I shall netcr be nble te pay you back, "Melly Mild; there weh a quiver in her veice; she rose from her chair. "Oh, I ought net te take it. I can never pay you back." He laid his hand en her shoulder. "It's JUHt a gift from one friend te another," he, said. "Don't hurt me by talking about paying me back,,!' Bhe shook her bead. " " "It's sweet of you te put It like that. but but nil the sanje, I I knew lt'n net ngnt. un, i wins you re tne Dest man I've ever met In all my life I" she added. wlU bumble gratitude.
