knew that Frands and I did net love or

"Never mind, mother." he said one
day when he came in and found me cry
ing. "When I'm a man I'U leek after
you." 1
., "When you're a man, Dicky dar
ing." I told him, "you'll be tee buey
looking after a wife of your own te re
member me."
He only shook his head.
"I don't want a wife," he told me
gravely. "I ahan't ever have a wife."
I treasured up all his quaint little
sayings like priceless gems: afterward
I think they saved my heart from break
ing. The morning of my father's funeral
there was a letter In a strange hand
writing en my plate at breakfast time.
I looked at it carelessly and left it
lying there till I had finished; then I
slit It open without interest.
"Dear Mrs. Furnival," se It ran, "I
returned te England yesterday, and
was sorry te see the announcement of
your father'a death in the Londen pa
pers. Please accept my deepest sym
pathy. I should llke te run down one
day and see you, if I may; perhaps
you will drop me a line when conven
ient. Yeura sincerely, Richard Tem
pest." I felt as if some one had struck
me; I was alone in the room, or some
one must have noticed hew white I
went; I could feel the bleed draining
away from my face.
Richard Tempest 1 After thirteen
years be had crossed my life, and wished
te see me.
I bad beard no word of him since
that day when we said geed -by in the
park.
Thirteen years I I was eighteen then ;
new I was thirty-one.
I hid bis letter 4n my dress, and
went up te my own room.
I dare say you will laugh, but the
first thing I did was te leek at myself
in the glass.
I de net think I had greatly altered,
but my face waa unlineu and I had no
gray hairs.

Did I want te sea him asalnT I
waa net aure ; and yet I wrote the next
day and told him te come any after
noon he liked.
I mentioned it casually te Francis.
He looked at me frewnlngly, and
asked who he was. .
I explained that I knew Richard
Tempest when we were children.
"I suppose there is no objection te
his coming?" I asked.
"Yeu can have any visitors you like
in the house, aa long as you don't ex-
Sect me te stay and entertain them,"
e said laconically.
Later I heard him tell one of the

going te Londen for the week-end.
I did net knew if I were glad or
sorry ; I wanted te ee niene wncn ucn
ard came, and yet when I saw my hus
band driving oft down the read I
wished he had stayed.
I felt as nervous and excited as a gin
a thR nfturnoen drew en.
The children were both, out.
Dicky went te a boys' school In the
village. .Francis objected te this, and
was always talking of sending Dicky te
a bearding school. ,
I would net hear of it. Many and
many a time we quarreled.
Four o'clock come, and a maid
brought tea: I lingered ever it as long
as I could, but he did net come.. 80 I
went down the drive te the gate te see
if I could see Eisa or wicsy.
ah meiI wnnnil a BOOil (leal JUBt 1)0
yond our heuse, and I .walked te the
bend te see beyond.
As I reached it a high deg cart swung
round the corner; It was being driven
rather quickly and i nau te step Hur
riedly out of the wny te prevent myself
being knocked down.
The driver looked ever his shoulder
apologetically. .. .. ....
"I'm se sorry," he said. "I hope you
were net frightened."
He was a big, square -shouldered man
with a brown face and a voice that
somehow sent a thrill of remembrance
through ray heart.
I steed looking up at him without
answering, and In that moment he rec
ognized me. ., , ,
He tesfced the relns te the horse b
back and leaned down te the read.
"Marjerle I1' he sold.
It was Richard Tempest.
CHAPTER XXVI
It all seemed he natural after the llrt
moment. In spite of the fact that lie
was taller ejul broader, ami se bronzed,
my heart told me Richard had altered
VCI thought you were net coming,"
I told him nervously, freeing my hands.
"I waited tea for you.".
He said he was net much of a tea
drinker. He was looking at me with an
expression In Ills eyes that made my
heart leap. "Yeu have net altered
much, Marjerle," he said abruptly.
"That's very nlce of you. Yeu seem
te forget that I've been married eh,
years and years 1 Why, I ve get a big
son, and a daughter, tee."
His face changed, ......
"Have you? I did net knew that,
he said constrainedly. "The time Mb
gene se fast; somehow I always think
of jeu aa you were when we last met.
My cheelts burned. , , t.
"Oh. I'm much elder and wiser thsn
I was then," I declared. "I am afraid
I was very stupid In these days."
"I never thought se," he answered
Wo's'eemed te be treading en danger
ous ground. I asked If he would net
ceme back te athe house with me. He
slung bis horse's reins ever hie arms
and walked beside me down the read.
"I was very sorry te hear of your
father's death." he said. tl L
I felt a little lump In my threat.
"Peer father I" I said sadly. "I
think you would have found him very
much changed. He seemed he seemed
se much kinder and mere thoughtful be be be
fere he died." .
Richard made no comment. I knew
that be had considered my father an

We walked some way in ailtnce.
