"You have heard what I am going to do with her," I answered icily; "I am going to send her to school." "Yes; but when she comes out?'

Why, you must be made of wood and stone not to feel it when those sky-blue eyes, with the lovely and wholly deceptive look of ut- ter babylike innocence in them, gaze up into yours with that whole-souled ad- miration in, them.

Great Scott! what wouldn't I give to be in your shoes, Her movements are as full of restrained grace as those of a young kitten, and her form is as supple as a willow-branch bending in the wind. Her coloring, too, is delicious; one wonders that constant exposure hasn't spoiled it, instead of giving just the touch of golden-brown and red sunburn which sets off the yellow of her hair and the whiteness of her teeth. If I were only in your place!" He sighed heavily, and sank down in his armchair again, burying his long fingers in his wavy hair, His enthu- siasm concerning Lilith's charms an- noyed me; but the subject had so evi- dently. carried him away that it was impossible for: me to resent it, : "Well, I inquired, after a 'pause, "if you were in my place, what would you 0?" He looked up suddenly. A "Need you ask?" he said scornfully. 'What would any man with one ounce of feeMng do?

"You would marry her, then?" 'My dear Hervey, why should I? Men don't marry girls like Lilith. They keep pei until mutual boredom sets in, and then the pretty little birds fly off to seek some more congenial mate," "Look here, Wray," I exclaimed en- ergetically, "I can't insult a man in my own house. But, on my soul, your way of talking sickens me. If you cannot speak decently about a modest and in- nocent girl, I must ask you not to dis- cuss her at all, Lilith Saxon fs my friend and ward.

It was clear 'Ff had better see as little as pos- sible fof the girl, and I hardly knew whetHer I ought to feel pleased or angry whentbefore I had finished my break- fast on the following morning, a hurried tappi at the front door, followed by a spirited altercation and a scuffle in the Rall, preluded Lilith's tempestuous entrance into my studio. ' This work-place of mine, which occu- pled the whole of the first floor, served for such meals as I took In the house-- seldom more than breakfast, which was supplied by the landlady, who, with her family, ocupied the basement and a room on the top floor, where also Wrenshaw's room and that of another lodger were situated. My bedroom and dressing- room were on the ground floor, and in the latter Wray had made himself quite at home, and had speedily reduced the place to chaos with his constitutional untidiness, He was a man addicted to late hours and interminable gossip over pipes and whisky: and long after I had my bath and breakfast, and often a morning stroll as well, and had got to work, he would still be sleeping the un- troubled slumber of the lazy down- stairs, by which proceeding he never failed to rouse my man Wrenshaw's ire, This morning in question, Lilith, as I said, swept in like a spring breeze, and, rushing up behind my chair where I sat at breakfast, threw her arms round my neck and kissed me lovingly on each hs : : . i "Isn't that splendid!" she exclaimed. "I'm just in time to have my breakfast with you. And I'm so hungry! I really think I always am hungry. I wouldn't stay and have breakfast at Mrs. Jack- son's. - Oh, she's such an inquisitive per: son, and I had such fun with her! I stuffed her up with a lot of les. I told her I was a granddaughter to an earl, and that all my affairs had been left in your hands, and that you were going to prove my claim to the family estates and the family diamonds. It all turned on a will, T sald, which was believed to be in an iron safe under the castle moat --I read something like that im an il- lustrated supplement last Christmas, And she took it all in at first, and my! she did stare! But presently, when I began to lay it on a bit too thick, she got cross, and told me not to. talk non- sense; and this morning she wanted me to give the children thelr breakfasts. But if I'm going to be an educated young .lady, it don't do to go in for nurse-maid"s work. So, while her back was turned, off I slips and jumps in a cab and away here. 1 hadn't any money left, so I told Mr. Wrenshaw when he opened the door, and asked him to pay the cabman, and he got that cross he made me nearly cry with laughing. Be- cause, you see, the cabman had to have his 'money, and, if I hadn't any, what was to be done?" She seated herself at table facing me, after she had thrown her hat across the room. Prettier than ever she looked In the clear morning light, her blue eyes dancing with, excitement and galety, as, like a little hungry bird, she poised herg self over the dishes, lifting covers and examining them critically with her head on one side.
