«r. .‘vwwwei -n_:* - 1+" CHAPTER V.â€"â€"(Cont’d) After that the walk home was de- lightful; no further mention was made of the man who had insulted and frightened her, or of the lock- et, though Darnley had not forgot- ten it; and the sky above was not clearer than Nancy’s mind when she re-entered Ripstone Hall, not even aware of fatigue, heat, or dis» comfort in 0in shape or form. A very smartâ€"rather too smartâ€"â€"~ dog-cart was waiting outside the great entrance when they arrived. Derrick Darnley frowned slight- ly as he said: “The millionaire has lost no time. Mr. Crawshaw is here, I see.” Nancy smiled. “Aren’t you jealous?” she asked. with a little laugh, as she threw off her hat. , “Do you care about money?” was the young man’s reply, put labruptly and questioningly. “I adore it!” she laughed back, and then the laugh died away, and a startled, fearful look came in her eyes. “Whoâ€"who is that speaking?" she asked, hurriedly. “Those refine-t; accents,” Derrick Darnley replied, carelesslyâ€"lie was bending over one of the many dogs that came to greet himâ€"“belong to Mr. Crawshaw, or, to give him his full title, Mr. Thomas Moss Crawshaw, late timber foreman, of the East End, London. but new. owner of several estates, andaoc- cupier of the Manor House, s1tuat- ed about two miles from here.” CHAPTER VI. “Oh, there you are, Derryâ€"~back alreadyâ€"and what have you done with Nancy, pray?” There was a'decided touch of peevishness in Dorothy Leicester’s pretty voice; . - Darnley was silent for a moment; he had been standing staring up at the broad staircase in a fixed, almost vexed way, when his couâ€" sin came out of the large drawing- room and put the above query to him. . . He woke from his reverie with a start and looked down at Dorothy. “Miss Hamilton is in her own room, I believe,” he answered, in a curiously short manner. “In her room; then I expect'she is tired out, and no wonder, starting off to walk to the village in this heat.‘ I mean to scold her well. Are you going in to say ‘How d’ye (10’ to the 3great millionaire, Der- ' ry? You know it is your duty to pay court to all his wealth.” Dorothy’s face had lost its cloud, and was as sunny and lovely as usual; she had been a little vexed that Derrick should have left her to go after Nancy; but now he was back again, and that was all she asked. Had she been a. little less occupied with her own feelings on this subject, she must have noticed that Mr. Darnley was in anything but a pleasant humor. “Mr. Crawshaw is quite prepar- ed to receive any amount of hom- lgc, so come along,” she laughed, . . | . - . slipping her dainty hand throughaborn of a variety of feelings, “If his arm, and trying to pull him toâ€" [ am a brute to judge the child Sol drawing-room, whence issued sounds of a strong, .1011le voice, holding forth with consequence and vigor.

Why had Nancy suddenly flown ‘away up the stairs, vanishing before he had time to draw breath, when she discovered that Crawshaw i'as 1in the house? Darnley had been bending over the dogs,'dispcnsing pats of welâ€" come all round, and he had not seen the change that had come over the girl’s laughing, happy face, nor ito agony which had flashed into her eyes. He had not seen the sud- den terror. .the‘ exquisite fear, which had overwhelmed her at the intelligence that her dreaded foe was not only actually close at hand, but would be near her evei'y day to torment : and. trouble her. All that Darnley had seen was. her hasty rush up the stairs, with an eagerness that as he rememberâ€" ed it sent a curious pang to his heart, which grew deeper and. :deeper as he walked across the l grounds. “My judgment has been utterly at fault, it seems,” he said, bitter: ly, ‘to himself, kicking savagely at la little daisy that was rearing its |innocent and pretty head to greet 1the summer sun, “and she is no 'better than the rest.

Ella, and, reach- ]ing a shady and lonely corner, flung 'himself on the grass and gave way to his thoughts. , “Why do I let this girl vex me as she does l” he cried, impatient- ly, to himself; “is it not sufficient that I should have been foolish enough to have been bewitched by her face the very instant I saw it -â€"that in one moment she should have scattered all my prudence and worldly wisdom to the four winds, without v. orrying myself over every little thing concerning her, as I have done these last .two days? Would any man in his senses do as I am doing?” . He pulled a low easy garden chair close to him and flung himself into it. _ “I’ll hate a smoke, it will clear - my brain; I want to see into this matter rightly; I won’t condemn -her too quickly l” So saying, he pulled out his silÂ¥ iver cascâ€"â€"a gift from Dorothyâ€"â€" and, having lit a cigar, he fold-ed 'his arms and began to think.

I would have gi\ on him something to remember this day by. She seemed as if she feared to let me go after him. By Jove!
