T-dy Deucester was silent. Lord Dou Deu

toward the deer. "I've been ill,

Nll looked at him doubtfully as

Bias no answer and he followed her

Is the deer closed behind them Lady
Deaetiter relaxed. She put a hand out
fcr a chair with se groping a move
ment that her husband came te her
Me In quick consternation.
"My dear, it's been tee much for you !
Tm perfectly well," said Lady Dou Deu
enter sternly, but she lay back In
ntr chair and closed her cjes. Rhe
litrd him leave the room and pres
ently return. She drank what he gave
ktr and felt her strength creep back.
"Thank you, Mellentravc. My hnlr
In't coming down, in it? Geed! Sit

will be upon us again. What n reptile
the man is! He's been crawling In
tad out of our lives ever since " she
filtered, then concluded "ever since
wi annexed Jehn Camden's thirty thou
sand pounds."
Lord Deucester nodded.
"Yeu say Wilfred knew nbeut It?"
"He had guessed It wasn't ours,"
Aid Lsdy Deucester bluntly. "When
wi have mere time, Mellentravc, I wnnt
te tell you hew perfectly sweet he Ik
ibeut It. I told him everything In the
tnd, even about Jarreman's insane ven
detta. Wilfred doesn't fully under
stand that, but he accepta It. I left
bin ringing up some agency or ether
te si te find Nadla at once."
"Find Nadln?"
"Oh, of course, I haven't told you
that! When I get te Crescent street
Dene Mid Nndla had gene out before
breakfast and had net yet returned. I
knew that meant trouble no sane
woman (tees out before brerkfast. even
If she doesn't take any. While' Wil

brought te hm. It was from her. It
uld that she felt as he had done when
te left her the night oefere, and went
en with a let of rubbish about net be
ing able te breathe In a plaec that was
net really hers. She didn't give her nri
dress, but said that in about n week's
time she would meet him et his club.
8he hopes te get weak, and se te be
ble te discuss the future with him nn
I think she said one wnge-enrncr
Bay discuss it with another."
The affectionate patience in his wife's
Voice brought a smile te Lord Dou Deu
tatter's lips, instantly suppressed.
"8he seems te me te take a very
laudable point of view," he said weight
ily. Lady Deucester'a fingers tapped
tit arms of her chair.
. "Oh. I don't deny It ! But it happens
te conflict with ours."
A silence fell, which Lady Deucester
Broke In the musing, almost tender
voice she rarely used.
"It's such a long time age, isn't It,
tut we discovered I was heiress te
thirty thousand pounds unless .Jehn
Camden had a child. Nearly twenty
yean age, and yet I can remember al
nest every word of that long, long

Watch for Aaneuaeeneat
back again? I wanted Wilfred's career
mere man nnyuing, aa X thought J I've
Intrigued and achemed te keep the way
clear for him; I expect I shall grovel
te him te go en using Jarreman's
money, since without It he can de noth
ing. But If he won't, must wa sacrifice
ourselves? Ne one sacrificed themselves
for ua."
It was some tlma before Lord Dou Deu
cester answered.
"I am with you, every Inch," he
said, "Intellectual every inch. But
I am mere sentimental than you are,
Emmellne, probably because I am a
man, and the fact that Wilfred Is our
son puts the wMffc thing out of focus."
"Yeu mean ?"
"Why did you say just new wh
have you always said that we still need
success?"
Lady Deucester drew her hand away
abruptly. She drew herself away al
together, mind and soul, and there fell
one of these silences in which she was
went te search for the truth that would
be the key te her riddle.
She was retreating, retreating Inte
herself; she was giving herself no, quar
ter. Why did she cling te success? It
was necessary te her. Yes, but why?
Why could she net face an existence In
which she was net led by ambition, net
goaded en and en te achievement for
ecnievement'a sake7 Her mind went
seeking, and presently it found.
Herself and her son's wife.
The
words they had soeken en that awful
day at Swallewsbath. "One woman In
every million, Nadla, gives her man
the essences of companionship youth,
beauty, wealth; if you let one go, you
lese them all." And then Nadla: "But
there's something deeper than that,
Isn't there? I think that Is whera my
generation knows better. Leve is te us
just that deeper companionship."
L.auy Deucester snivered. ttee had
found the truth. And the truth was
desolate.
Youth', beauty, wealth she had
brought them te the making of her hap
piness, and ane did net dare te let tnem
go. sat must make up, and keep the
years at bay, and aha must have money
te spend, or her world would be dust.
Her world ! Oh, why net be honest? It
was net her world s)ie feared te lese, It
waa her husband.
She came slowly back te reality and
looked across the hearth te where he
sat.
"All these years," she told, herself,
"nni I've never realized that nil I've
done has been just te held him. Te
keep , him mine. And new, In sour
unutterable little suburb, I'm going te
lese him."
Aloud, she said, almost Indifferently :
"Yes, I've net been thinking clcnrly.
It is net for nn intellectual rcanen that
I need success. It doesn't matter why
I need it, for It doesn't weigh ngnlnxt
Wilfred's future. U'b ns Mr. Jarre
man said, we've lind our day.
" e must nay back the thirty thou
sand, Mellentravc."
j.erd Deucester rose abruptly ana
took her hunds In his. He khs-cd them
tenderly.. She caught her breath. Whut
was he xaylng?
"Emmeline, my darling, you're clever
about everything except yourself. We've
inui our day. Indeed ! De you knew, in
nil our married life, we've never hnd
mottling te de?"
"What but " btainmercd Lady
DeuccHtvr. "Yeu'd.be bored If we juxt
sat and looked at each ether. Yeu, with
your genius for handling difficulties,
would you have been content only te
arbitrate when the general servant gavi
notice, or they hadn't give us our full
weight of coals?"
"Net all my lfe Oh. dear, no." re-
turned Lord Deucester amiably. "But
new, Emmellne,! really'bclleve I should
ratner like it. There are se many thing
I should rather like. It would, for In
stance, be delightful te aee you in an
apron main, matcinn one et these ex
cellent little omelets. Of all the ome
lets I've eaten "
Lady Deucester clunr te his hands te
steady herself.
Then you don't " she began, but
Nadla'a words were echoing se loudly
In her can that she could net help re
peating: "Leve Is te us just that deeper
companionship no, I can't explain; I
will one day. but I'm se happy I think
I'm light-headed."
Dear, dear," murmured Lord Deu
cester. "And her comes our friend
Theed."
Nell Makes Her AOieai
Jarreman followed Nell obediently un
the stairs. Stairs were still a bit of
an effort te him. He took them slowly,
making geed use of the time for reflec
tion. Nell was his dauahter. Threuch no
fault of bis own he had done her a great
Injury through no merit of hla own be
had the means of a handsome compen
sation. A detestable phrase, compensa
tion, but a sterling fact.
'Erel"
They had reached the upper hall and.
by the simple device of clutching him
by the coat sleeve, she had urged him
into a cushioned recess In the huge bow
window of the first fleer landing.
"Set down there," she Invited.
Funny idea making a landln' leek like
a drerin' room, ain't it r nut there,
it's all funny when yer come ter think
of It same as wet I 'ave."
Jarreman sensed the nervousness be
neath the garrulity.
I heard what you said te Lady Deu
cester," be begnn. "Yeu are net
happy here the life doesn't suit you.
But we can easily find a way of living
that does."
Yus. that we can.' agreed ell
heartily. " 'Cor I've fahnd it al
ready, fahnd it afore you ever turned
up and said you was me dad. And I
was a feel te leave it, though I will
say as I shan't be none the worse off
for 'avin' learned me lessen, as the
sayln' is."
"Nell, doesn't it strike you as rather
silly that you should go back te a life
et hardship ana nituy surreunuings
when you have a weulthy father who
wants te make things comfortable for
you?"
"rutby surrannain's," ccneeu rveu
indignantly.
Jarreman pulled himself up in the
midst of a humble apology.
"Yeu knew perfectly well I didn't
mean te insult your home."
"Awrlgbt, then," returned Nell gen
erously. "But net se much e' the 'ard
ship, if you please. 'Ulle, wet's this?"
The last words were speucn in a
hurried undertone. Jarreman looked
round. Down the lenit corridor Clau-
dine was coming toward them.
He rose instinctively, Uluudlne's eyes
went from him te the ftgure seated at
bis side, and she faltered.
"Friend e' yours?" asked Nell In a
very audible whisper.
Jarreman did net answer. Claudlue
advanced again, and lie frowned. Nell
nudged him, ,
