As a rule she " t.c.ore. for women. hut somehow Mrs. Asnferd was ene exception; she nn ' I'l'.'eeeu ie sce ner. Of course you've heard the wonder ful news, haven't you?" Mrs. Ashford asked presently. "I mean about Mr. Harden every one Is talking about It and I am frightfully excited myself." "I haveiust been telling Llllth, but she doesn't seem at all Inclined te be 1 eve me," Fernnld said, a trifle sulkily. She has known Harden some time, you sec, and flatters herself that he Is te be n. confirmed bachelor till the cud of the chapter. " Mrs. Ashford laughed.

"I really can't be be be llove HI" she ndded. Mrs. Ashford looked puwled. ".Wd.L..,t'8 ult8 true" tue said again. "Mr. Harden told me. and he also said that they would be married seen and very wise of them ; he is net a young man, and is rich." Which Is no doubt the reason for Melly having ncceptcd him!" Llllth said rather spitefully. "The Danger fields have never had n penny of their own ; they will hardly knew what te de with se much money, I should imagine. Peer Jehn! He will find he has mar ried the entire family if he isn't care fuf." . k Her heart was beating with anger and Jealousy; It was true, ns she had said a little whlle uge, that she had never cared for any one as she cared for Alec, but no woman likes te be dethroned from the heart of n man te whom she has once becu all the world, and she had beeu se confident that Jehn would never cure for any one else. She could net understand It. All last night bhc had lain nvvaku plot ting and planning; trying te think hew she could persuade Harden te help her without givlug him unj thing In ex change. Kisses she did net miud tbey hurt nobody, but somehow in the fnee of his passionate outburst she was net sure it she were strong enough or clever enough te keep him within bounds ; he had never been n patient man; years nge he had wanted te sweep her off her feet and marry her, penni less though they both were. She wondered If he were btllt the faumc Impetuous lever be had been then. CHAPTER XVII Temptation Vanquished New he was te marry Melly! Llllth wondered hew Melly bad mnni:cd it; ,probably she hail been playing up for mis ever hince ine urM uuy 01 inpir acquaintance ; of course it was a fine catch for her, and for the entire im pecunious family. "I've hpeken te you twice. Lilith, and ou haven't answered. " her hus band said testily; his eyes were search ing hcr fnee with jenleus suspicion. "Where arc your thoughts?" She reused herself te be blight nnd te chnt about Melly's wedding. "Whatever shall we give hcr for a present?" she laughed. "Why. there must be everything in the world a woman can want up at Maner Dyke. Lucky, lucky Melly! I must run in next deer nnd congratulate her." "It's mnde n mmimiMeu In the vlllnge, I enn tell u," Mrs. Aihfuid said. "Ever body looked upon Mr. Harden as hopeless from a matrimonial point of view." She laughed cheerily. "1 told him I hoped lie would be married down here and ask us nil te the wed ding, i)t from what he said I believe he means te carry her off te Londen and have It very quietly." "Yeu fcein thoroughly upset about this engagement," Fernnld wild later. when Mrs. Ashford hud gene. "Any ene would think you were jenleus." It was net often he npeke se leughly te his wife, nnd a faint color ciept into her cheeks; she turned nway without answering. i It was only for his sake that she had tiled te keep her Influence with Harden; she believed it had only bePii for his sake that she had suffered his iiteiw thnt nlL'ht. and that she hud lain awake plotting and scheming. She did net want the man; bhu wanted his money and the things hi could give her. Fer thW means she had net hesi tated te use her old power ever him: had net hesitated te hurt him and fill his life with unrest ; she was u selhsh woman; all Iter Hf' he i""1 ! made use of her friends. Alec Fernnld watched her till she reached the deer, then he lulscd him self en the couch. "Lilith!" Just, for u moment sne hesitated: it would terve him right if stw would net go back; sometime his li'iileusy wearied her: nnd then with sudden revulsion of fielliig the lemcrn leted the great shadow hanging ever their lives; bUe l.new, tbey both knew. !.it he bad net long taMlve; was she "dust te spoil one ureeieiu moment of the little lime left te them? VhIu and selfish as she was, he loved her husband, nnd with charming surrender she turned mid ulniest ran back te him ncrest the room, dreppiug itinvn en her knees beside him. "Darling!" She put Iipi- urms round his neck, drawing his head te her .boulder. "Yeu're se foolish, se very foolish!" she Hiid with n little thrill of laughter in her voice. "As If I could t,er ever care ffr any one but you!" lie turned bis licad, and their lips 'I'm a jealous brute! I hate everj man jeu leek at or smile at. When I'm gene" She laid hcr hand en his Up; tkt color left her checks.
