Colonel Or-y 'a unit had hitherto cer
tainly not met with .the sueeess It de
terred. Kveu he, utolid and iiuprejjnablt
to rebuffs as lie had seemed, wua begin
ning to fear that hid perseverance wa
misapplied.
"Colonel Grey has leen here, lie bat
done you the honor of asking your hand,
IMana," Mr. Ktudlya said to his daugh
ter, earnestly, oi:e day.
"An honor whieh 1 respectfully beg to
decline, though of course alive to the tre
mendous advantages of such a marriage,"
he returned, v. itti a sweeping courtesy-
"Don't talk nonsense, Di. Whom do
you intend to marry V"
"Why. really naim " the began; but
be stopped her-uhurplf a"d went on:
"You are twenty-tive "
"Twenty-six and a bit," she admitted.
eamtiUly, interrupting him in ner iurn. (
"The more real.,,. ?ou should be think-
lug of settling iluwu. I can tell you that
In this country men begin to fight shy
of a girl who at your aj:e is stingle still.
Diana was speechless with haughtiest
turprise. Was her father going to be the
first to turn renegade from the creed that
be had taught her?
"You would rather I msde a mesal
liance than not marry at all?" she ques
tioned, blankly.
"Tut, tut! There is no question of a
mesalliance in this case. I should never
l.e ashamed of Colonel Grey if he were
my son-in-law."
"Would you be proud?" she asked, look
ing tearchingly into his face. "And
should I be proud of acknowledging a
parish i! . t.irua my father-in-law V I 'a pa,
ou can't lie contemplating such a match
iu eari.est!"
"His sister is I.auy St. Maur. His
cousin is the celebrated t . C and Le has
interest at the Horse Guards."
"If he were very rich 1 could under
stand it," went on Diana, thoughtfully.
"He is not so good a nialeh in point of
money as Mr. Graeme, of course; buf
still "
His daughter confronted him pale uuJ
trembling.
"Do you mean, papa, that you could
ever forg t his connection with trade,
that you would ailow me to marry Mr.
Graeme even even
if I wished it, and
and he wished it. too?"
"My dear, I should be only too pleased,"
replied the Commissioner, fumbling
among his paiwrs, as though politely to
Imply that just then he could better boar
her absenco than her presence. Hut so
long a silence ensued that be fixed bis
glasses on bis nose, nnd looked thro lgli
them at his daughter.
She was blushing like a rose, nt tha
thoughts that were passing through hr
mlnrtt but Mr. Knollys fancied it was
wounded pride thnt had sent the color t.
her cheek, and basteneu to make
his
meaning clear.
I don't deny, Diana, that 1 was very j

Bhl dni not put into word, the thought
,at crent into her mind with insidious ,
aweetness, yet with a little sadness, that
If her father hud ceased to expect great
things for her, sne neca noi certainty
Immolate herself on the shrine of ambi
tion. Ever since she had firat discovered
what she then considered her mad love
for the ton of the Scotch brewer, the had.
striven hard to stamp it out, or at least
to live it down. She had never allowed
herself to dwell on the happiness such a
love might have been. If he returned It.
Scarcely had she asked herself whether
he could ever care for her or not; she had;
.lways striven to throw him and Jane
Knox together whenever It was possible,
But now now?
She went to Mrs. Dene's that same
morning, and found Val Graeme there as
he eenerally was. Jane waa there, too,
looking pale and tired, but she went to
meet Diana with a welcoming smile.
"It is three whole days since you have
been here," the said, reproachfully
Come round the garden for a chat."
She nodded somewhat cavalierly to the
oung fellow, who was on his knees
mending her tennis bst, aa she left th.
room.
"Mrs. Dene will be here in a few mln
Otes," she called out cheerfully over her
shoulder.
Diana, who scarcely looked tip when
Mr Graeme greeted her, only inclnding
him In a genial "how do," felt angry
With Jane, then inconsequently pleased.
Perhaps it was only so, by her indiffer
ence, that he might look elsewhere for np
preciation. ...
It was a humiliating admission, never
theless. she waa obliged to confess to her
aelf, that she would have no chance
o-ninst the Quartermaster's daughter
were any rivalry to be between them.
It was strange what a fascination that
girl had for such widely different na
tures and she pleased without effort,
even against her will. She had thwarted
Diana's attempt to make a mercenary
marriage with the two eligibles in the
station, the Hon. Barry Larron and Ste
phen Prinsep was she to spoil her love,
too? It was with a jealous inflection it
her tones that she said presently:
"I am afraid I interrupted your tete-a-
"A tete-a-tete that bade fair to last all
with a rebellioua pout. "He cams

Tory busy, so left me to entertain him. J
.was very glad Indeed you came."
"fe that truo?"
"Tea, of course. Why, you don't
think " Jane stopped short, meetiuj
the other's searching glance. She knew
she was being cross-questioned, but for
one moment did not quite see for what
object.
"Jane," asked Diana, solemnly, "dc
yon mean to marry Mr. Graeme?"
"I? No. What an ideal" with tht
f ltfsj eta anile.
"Thou" desperately "why don't yon
.how him m plainly and and let other
le."
"Diana," said Jane, demurely, at they
were still beyond ear-shot, "I don't think
I shall have much to explain after alL
There was certainly nothing of flirtation,
nothing even personal in our long conver
sation to-day. It bad Just struck me that
Mr. Graeme was talking nearly all the
timo about you."
There was no pallor nor pride in Miss
Knollys' face now, the waa blushing lib
any school-girl at they reached Mrs.
Dene's side, and the could scarcely stam
mer out a suitable remark. An odd mix
ture of shame and triumph made her
quite unlike herself. She waa afraid to
meet Jane'a eyet lest the should guest
what keen hope her words had awakened.
Directly she could she took her leave,
only too glad to be alone to think.
And now Jane had something to con
sider. Her thoughts lately had been con
centrated on her own affairs, and the wat
weary of trying to solve the vexed prob
lem of how best to unravel the tangled
Bkein of difficulties that beset her. It wat
a relief to turn her attention to aome-
, . . . . -- - -
" time. She
knew Valentine Graeme had admired
been near loving her, in fact, before her
engagement to Colonel Prinsep wat an
nounced, and that again of late hit inter
est in her had seemed to be reviving; but
she had known too much of really pas
i sionate love, the love associated, alas,
; with sin and sorrow, to believe that his
j affection was very deeply seated.
An opportunity to talk with Valentine
alone occurred, later in the day. He had
atayed to luncheon, and afterward all
three were gathered round the fire, ho
( chatting to Mrs. Dene, and Jane deep in
' thought at to how the could best bring
about an explanation. Then some house
hold duty called Mrs. Dene away, and
the two were left alone.
"How nice this idle time lit" observed
Valentine, deamlly; then, with one of
his flashes of fun, he added, comically,
"Don't siwil it by trying to amnte me."
j She laughed. It was an old joke against
' her that the took the verb "to entertain"
too literally. It must have been in some
measure due to her Scotch blood, or that
unconsciously some memory of the old,
more practical life in barracks remained
j with her; at any rate the never allowed
the mind of any viaitor to ttay long un
I occupied, and when Valentine spent the
day with them at now, there waa no
chance of hit finding any leisure time to
niknnnl.
Mrs. Dene had noticed first how Jane
provided all her guests with albums and
books of views, then sat near primly ex
plaining or descanting on their merits.
Since then it had become a universal
joke.
Now, however, the wanted only to talk,
and said so.
"I am afraid," tald Val, thoughtfully,
j "I have exhausted my originality. I don't
believe I have another remark to make.
Yon could hardly expect it after a whole
day's uninterrupted conversation."
"That's just It. Why do you come no
often?" blurted out Jane.
He pushed his chair back from the fire.

blankly.
"Suppose," she said, with a faint smile
hovering on her lips, "that all this time,
while you have been fancying so differ
ently, you have been In reality steadily
bat unconsciously failing in love with
some one ever so much prettier and nicer
than I" an obstinate shake of the head
from VaL which ahe Ignored. "Suppose

heart waa beating quickly. Was It possi
ble that what she tald waa true that he
really did love Diana beat? he thought te
himself.
"And you, Jenny? how is It to be with
yon? asked Valentine.
"With me? Oh, never mind me!" she
replied, with her face still turned away.
"But I do mind you very much. Tell
me," he aald, deliberately for he had
weighed the matter in his mind, and con
cluded that he waa not so deeply in love
with Diana, but that be had a very reas
onable chance of happiness with Jane If
she decided to accept him; ahe had the
first claim upon his affections, and It
would not be such a terrible sacrifice
after all "tell me, would you not be
happier if you married me7 Ton know
me better than nearly any one else and
I would take good care of you, be sure.
Don't you think you could be content
with me?"
She turned quickly and placed her hands
In hit. She understood him at once, and
taw more clearly than he saw himself
that he waa offering to give np bis own
happiness for hers.
"How good you are how good yon
are!" ahe murmured. "Indeed, I am very
grateful; but what yon suggest could
never be. Never, believe me," ahe re
peated firmly, as he made a movement
to speak.
Both remained silent for a moment,
then she spoke again.
"I must go and find Mrs. Dene now.
Thank you to much for everything you
have said; and gooa-by."
At Valentine wended his way home to
the mess, he too had something to con
sider. CHAPTER XIX
It could not naturally remain long a se
cret to Mrs. Dene that something had
bappened to keep Valentin, from the
house; and when she questioned Jane,
the anawer was given frankly enough.
. "Mr. Graeme waa halting between two
opinions, whether he liked Diana or me
the better, to I helped him to decide. He
actually did not know that he was in lovo
with Diana till I told him."
"And so lost him for yourself," said
Mrs. Dene, with a suspicious remoar
trance In her tone.
Jane lifted her eyebrows slightlyt
"I did not want hlm. I never intend
to marry at all."
Mrs. Dene waa tllent. It occurred to
ber that It might really end so. First
the Colonel, and then the Sergeant, the
lover of former days, had been dismissed,
and afterward the little A. D. O. and
Barry Larron. Now the Adjutant wat
tent away. She was losing all her lovers.
But after a few days ahe found occa
sion to alter her opinion. Colonel Prin
sep had been three times to the bungalow
oa. thne sjimsibJt mnrnlnrs, True, he
hed ttayed only a short time on each
occasion, and be alwaya came with a
declared object; yet tome tubtle chauge
in hit manner octroyed that he no longer
even wished to believe himself indifferent
to Jane. And Jane, what were her feel
ings on the subject ? sue uetermineu 10
find out.
"Jenny," the tald that tame evening,
at they tat together after their quiet
dinner, "1 wonder why Colonel l'rinscp
has been here to often lately?"
Jenny'a head waa bent low over' her
work at she answered :
"You and he were always good
friends."
"And are ttilL But If his coming were
disagreeable to you it it disagreeable
to you, Jenny 7"
She raited her eyet. Mrs. Dene sat op
posite to her, her knitting needles flash
ing In and out of her fleecy work, the tire
light glancing upon her short curls and
down-turned face. It atruck Jane how
young and winning the looked. A sharp
fear assailed her that in this might be
the secret of Stephen Printep't visits
lately. Her hatband had been dead s
year now.
Jane, like many others, had never
thought there had been any deep affec-
tion between Captain Dene and bit wife;
therefore it wat the more likely she would
marry again, and what, so probable as
that the old friendship that had always
been between her and the Colonel should
develop into something sweeter?
"Is ity repeated Nora Dene, softly.
"No; why should it be?" was the reply
given In clear, metallic tones. "We have
both forgotten everything everything
that might make it uncomfortable for us
to meet."
A slight Incredulous glance, but nothing
more.- They should have their own way,
Mrs. Dene decided, and come together if
to Inclined, without any Interference
from her.
The following morning Colonel Prinsep
went to the bnngalo again. Jane was
outside, but fled in-doors when she saw
! him in the distance. As he passed where
I ahe had been, he glanced to see what she
had been doing. A large flower-pot of
cnttlnn waa standing there with several
j smaller ones ranged beside it, and on the
ground lay a large tilver ring that the
had taken off before she bad begun her
work, and In her rapid flight bad forgot
ten. It was the ring she always wore on
iz.tLZaL:"x:::,'.zrvnz
tue uuiu uu.c. ;- ---
which Colonel Prinsep had once thought
1 might be a sign of her betrothal to Jacob
I Lynn. Now he lifted and examined it
1 curiously. It wat evidently of Indian
! workmanship, quaintly embossed, and so
! made that It seemed like three rings
joined. As he fingered It, tin center sec
tion moved beneath his touch. It turned
completely, and he saw that below lay
perdu a wedding-ring. It could only be
the one that he had thrown down in
anger the day they were to have bees
married.
Under his fair mustache his lips quiv
ered in half-amused emotion, his eyes
grew wondrously soft in their expres
sion; he felt tempted to forego his wait
ing game, and following Jane, confront
her with this proof of her love for him.
Yet he knew he should only be courting
another refusal. He waited a moment to
harden himself a little to the part he had
to play, and then slipping back the tiny,
shifting panel, took out the plain gold
hoop, and let the outside case, still open,
drop upon the ground. It rolled close to
a small stream that ran through the com
pound, so near that the inner ring might
well be supposed to have fallen Into the
water Instead of reposing safely as it did
In Colonel Prinsep's waistcoat-pocket.
Then he went through the open door into
the drawing-room, where he found Mrs.
Dene alone. He had come ostensibly to
tell the ladles of some regimental sports,
which were to take place that afternoon,
and ask permission to escort them there.
Mrs. Dene readily consented, "if," she
supplemented, "Jane would go."
"Then I had better wait till she comes,"
btarved Colonel Prinsep.

liove and Labor.
Love Uvea to labor; It lives to give
ftself away. There la no such thing as
Indolent love. Look In your heart and
see If this Is not true. If you love any
one truly and deeply, the cry of your
heart la to spend and be spent In the
loved one's service.
Love would die If It could not benefit.
Its keenest suffering Is met when it
finds Itself unable to assist.
What man could see the woman he
loves lack anything, and be unable to
give It to her, and not suffer?
"Why love makes one a slave! It tolls
night and day, refusing all wages and
all reward save the smile of the one
onto whom It Is bound. In whose ser
wlce It finds Its delight, at whose feet
tt alone discovers Its heaven.
There Is no danger that language can
be too strong or too fervently used to
portray the services of love.
