Money Makes Money ; Or, A Strange Stipulation. CH-VPTER XXm. -(Continued). She wae sitting in a low chair by thn flr« vHh her baby in her arme, when No- rah Powia came in. "Oh, how cosy you are here. It ia i>â„¢r- fully cold out to-night; and Nell writes that it id very cold at the eea." Enid greeted her with astnile. "How good of you to come! Do forgive me ii I don t ge'l in.

"What a darling iwris, " said Mies Fow- ls, in a whicper. bending ever and looking ui th« little tiny face hilf hidden in a •oft shawl. "En'd. I en^y you! There le nothing I have wanted all my life eo much as a baby." "I can t oiler to share with you," eaid Enid, with a good attempt at gaiety. She covered her baby over very care- fully, and dliU rocked henreU to and fro slightly. "Ifou are going away to-morrow, aren t you.' ' she asked. "Yes: but not if you want me; then I uon't. go.' "Oh. my dear, what a suggestion! Lady Ellen would n»ver forgive me; bo>ide«, I irant you to go. I you ought to have had a change a long lime ago." "Have you been troubled to-day?" Mi<« Powis atiked, as ehe sal down on the other •ide of the fireplacf. Ei;id answered "Yea," quietly. "I aan going to speak to you as frankly as I can," she eaid. "It has beon proposed to â- n« that. I should bring an action for iivcrce agii-;!*! my husband." "For what reasonâ€" desertion? ' afiked Hiss Powiii quietlv. En.d shook her bead. "N>: I deserted him; but it seems that he cannot divor<>e me; and as he want^ bis fn.cdcm they have com« to me." "And are you going to consent.'" "Oh. yes. I could nol refuse," "My dear," said Norah Powis, leaning forward and r peaking earneetly. "I don't think you quit* understand. Whatever you did when you were alone is one mat- ter; now you are not alone. You hav^ this child. I am not asking you quee- tiona. I don't want you to tell me any- tlting other than you can tell me, or care to tell me; bur my common sense urges ae to peivuad« you to do nothing in a hurry, nothing without due cousidera- t'on. atnl without legal counsel." "I hate lawyers," Enid said suddenly; 'Htesides, my mind is made up. .\fler all, what u th-.- differencei" We are apart; divorced or married, we should always rttnain apart It eoems to me it is my duty lo giv-' bim this complete freedom.

"If you had asked me that at the very beginning," ehe said, with lips that (luiver- ed, "I should have answered 'So.' I should have told you that I acted entirely on my own responsibility, and that my husband did not want me to go; but it would have been a mistake: aud I know nowâ€" that, though I weMt apipurently without his sanction, I took a great bixrden away from him when he rL'alized I had gone!" "How did this knowledge come to you?" asked Nora Pov(is. 'Have you had any communication from your hmjband since you left him? " "No"; Enid paueed a moment, and then she 8«:d rather hardly. "It was not ne- ct-ssary for him to write. His actions were eloquent, enough." "Were you unhappy together? Did he treat you badly? " "Noâ€" no! Once we were so happy-oh, 60 wonderfully happy, but thenâ€" when trouble came, and we had no money, all the hitppiness went." "What was your husband doing? What was his work? Oh! forgive me, dear," Mies Powis said quickly, as she saw Enid cover her face with her hands. "If I did not care for you so much Iâ€" I wouldn't broach this matter; but something seems to tell me ihaa, you will not only do wrong to yourself and your boy, but that you are brinsring wrong to the man vou have married. WUl you let him see me for you? " Enid started to her feet; wiih a passion- ate gesture ehe brushed the tears from her eyes. "I tell you I have promised to do what he wants. Iâ€" I am not going to break my promise; besides, I feel as he doeis. I want my freedom. This life is intolerable! 1 want to feel that I belong to myself, and only to myself!" She changed her tone, and she elretchod out her hands to Uiss Powis "You must not be hurt with me. I sec the goodness, the kindness, the wis- dom of all you are trying to urge, butâ€" it is loo late, to change things now. Let me tell you something else. You knowâ€" I have started practising.

She was talking nervously, and with an agitation whioh she trie<l hard to con- trol, and Miss Powis took the hint and ceased to opeak of the more serious mat- ter. "Well doii"! work too hard," she said. â-  Reinem'ocr. you are still a little bit of an f invalid. .11 my opinion"; and then she took End in her arme and kissed her "Ciocd-uight, dear child," she said; and I'll see you when I come back from the eea. By the way I gave your message to Colonel Dawney to-day. He is very dis- appointed that you wont want bis little cottage; but perhaijs that will come lu handy later on."" â- he "I repeat," he eaid, "that I can be of great service to her. Can you let me iaow where she is staying?" "No; I can't." said M'^s Laurie; "as you heard mo say, I ihave had no news of her for a lon^g time. She comploU'-ly dis- appeared; sometimes she used to say she would go back to Canada ; she <ame from there as a student to the Academy. " Mr. Tenderten shook hunda and went aiway. He felt quite pleased with himself. It would not bo very difficult now to trace out Julian Bryant's wife, and whoji he had found herâ€" well, he Battered himself he knew a little bit a'oout women, and that he would be able to handle her so tJiat she could be used as a. go<Ml weapon against the man he hated! He knew of more than one pe. son who would for a little consideration track out the move- ments of anyone he wished to follow! A few daj'ii hence he promised himself the pleasure of calling upon lira Bryant or Mrs. .Sinclair, whichever she called her- self, and he .egietered a resolution to cul- tivate the frioudship of De.3mond Ham- mond on the flret opportunity. POLAND .1 >\TION .iG.iI>'. Declar<>8 Count Ivan Tolstoy, May- or of Feti'Dgrad. Count Ivan Tolstoy invited me to his home in Petrograd with all the courtesy of the true Russian aristo- crat, writes Woclaw Czerniewski in London Graphic. I arrived at his house on the very day when posters bearing the words ''Petrograd for Poland" were being displayed all over the City of Peter the Great. It was natural, therefore, that our conversation should turn chiefly upon Russia's new and great move- ment. Count Tolstoy spoke with the combined authority of a repre- sentative of the Russian nation, of a member of the oldest aristocracy, and of a Mayor of Russia's capital. His opinions were firm and clear. "The manifesto of the comman- der-in-chief is of the greatest im- portance," said he. ''It is a wis*; political step. It is my desire to impress British public opinion with the fact that the whole Russian na- tion heartily appreciate this mea- sure. The promise given by the Grand Duke will be fulfilled, and of this there can be no possible don'ot ; such, also, is the desire of our na- tion and of our Tsar. When the Russian army wins, the divided parts of Poland will be reunited. Poland will comprise Galicia, Sile- sia, Posnania. West Prussia (with Dantzig). part of East Prussia, and the present Kingdom of Poland. Poles will enjoy full autonomy. Polish will again become the lan- guage of the schools, of public life, and of officialdom. The Poles must have at least one university entirely Polish, "In my opijiion, the oEBcials of the future Polish Government ought to have a knowledge of the Russian language, as being the language of the Empire. The Poles must have their own Diet. The institution of Governor-General ought to be abol- ished. This places Poland on the same tooting as the other parts of the Russian Empire."

I-I want the tears come. "Oh! .iulian. Julian." she said to her- self. "I want you- 1 want you! How am I going to live without you?" Enid braced herself up to go about her daily life as calmly as posL-ible; in faxit, a,ftcr she had recovered from that natural outburst of grief, she took herself sharply to task, telling herself that it was more than mere weakness; it was contemptible of her to break her heart for a man who new definitely and openly wau letting her realise that he had no place in his life for her! She met her husband's lawyers the fol- lowing day, and agreed with them th.it she must be reiiresented also by some le- gal adviser; as the matter seemel to be pressing tshe resolved to approach Col- onel Dawney; so she sent him down a lit- tle note by hand asking him if he could recommend her to a good Arm of solicit- ors. As she had told M'.»s Powis, she was meeting with a good deal of indignant re- monstrance on the part of Mrs. Hughes. Her old Academy friends had got the idea that Enid was being very badly treat- ed. .She had not the same amount of tact as Miss Powis. She did not realize that she was treaditi" on very delicate ground; but she had been such a staunch friend; she and her husband had been so wonder- fully good that Enid had to curb her feel- ing« and listen to much which was almost maddening for her to hear at this junc- ture of affairs. So it was that, when Ju- liana lawyers informed her that their clionl had instructed them to say that u large sum of money would be settled up- on her. that i>he absolutely refused to ac- cept a penny. She had merely told Dr. and Mrs. Hughes that she wae about to bring an action of divorce airainst her huHband; up to now she had managed to keep that huaband's name a secret ; but quite in- advertently she had let them know that she was the wife of a man who had money, and it was oii this very point of money that she and Mrs. Hughes would never havd agreed. There was uomething more than pride prompting Enid to refuse all that the law- yers proposed. She had a fear that if she took Julian's money, he might have the right to take the child away from her, or, at any rale, to have some power over the child. She had faced the inevitable; she. had realized that the man she loved wae prac- tically dead to her.

The part that hurt him almost more than any wb3 that she should have so quickly taJieu her affains cut of his hands and placed them in his partner's: and for all this he hud Julian Bryant to thank! It can be well imagined that his feelingis for Julian were not amiably disposed. By mere chance he came in direi'l con- tact with the knowledge of Mr\i. Bryants wheieaboutt. He wae asked out to dinner one night to the house of Mies Manoii Laurie's mo- ther. A little while ago Mr. Tenderten would have refuged this invitation; but now he was glad to go anywhere to es- cape being by himself; beeideti, he was by way of being an admirer of Manon Lau- rie. He knew that nbo was engaged to be married, but th^t made no dilTerence. There were one or two other gueets. among them 3, young man of very smart appearance, whom Mr. Tenderten scanned carefully. He knew in a moment the sort of person whom it would pa.v him to cul- tivate; aud Mr. Desmond Hammond wai dtcidedly one of his type. .Vfter dinner Mies Laune sang several times, and then she made Mr, Hammond sing: and after she came and sat down beside .Vtr. Tenderten. "Such a pity he has given up einging. He bus sucli a good voice: but hia people were too strong f-or him. He had to leave us and go into the city." "Oh, hae h- sung profCBsionally?" ask- ed Mr. Tenderten "Yes; he was one of my little tour tlhis last summer. It was uiwfully Jolly, al- tihough we didn't make any money; still, we were very happy together, weren't we?" she added, and sho addressed anoilier of her mothers guests, who happened to be the baritone who had travelled with the little concert tour. Rather!" he answered, and then he put a (lueelion to her. "Do you see anything of MiSLi Sinclair?" Million Laurie's face h.ifdened a little. "No," she answered. I think Enid be- h'vved very quecrly. I gave her work when she didnl know which way to turn, and i<ho left me without saying good-bye or showing ;iny consideration whatever.'" ' Mr. Tenderten pricked up his eius. Sin- clair! Enid! The two na,mes signified a good deal to him. The baritone lowered his voice. "Doeunt he know anything?" he asked, with a nod in Mr. Hemmonds direction. â-  "I haven't asked him,"" .said Mies Laurie. "To tell you the truth. I dont care very much. I feel so hurt with Enid. I think she ought to have treated mo a little bit better." "Well. I th;night it was a case," said the baritone, in the same diecreet tone. ".Vnyhow, he was awfully gone on her, was.i't ho?" "Yes: well, she i* very pretty, you know,"" eaid Miss Laurie: then she added, with a little touch of loyalty, 'I have often wondered W Enid <liea.ppearod in the ; way she did do bocause of .him.

Of course, the girl iwhoni they were diex- ussi iig was Mrs. Bryant, and no other. He stayed a little behind tho others, and -wihen they were gone, had a few minutes' chat with Mius Laurie. "I-I have a sort of ido.a.," he sold to her, "that I-I can be of great se»-vice to Miss Sinclair." "You I" said Mat on Laurie. What do you knoiw a."bout her?" Mr, Tenderten amlled a non-oommiltal •mile, tJjing that she arranged: only he regret- ted that she had made up her mind to re- main in London. Enid gave him rather a w:iri smile.
