When once you’re seen, they’ll come fast enough. ” “I suppose so, but I’d rather have our 'time back there,” with a movement of the head toward the west, “than a London season. ” “Not much fear of that.” replied her husband, with a smile of admiration. “There are not many people you could not manage. We shall have to have a function ortwo, and there’ll be a bit of fuss when we get back, I expect. But we won’t stay longer than you like at the manor. We’ll get up to town. We shall have _to go about; a bit, you know. ” “You’ll grow out of that fast enough,” he said. “But I’m,glad you haven’t been bored. After all, there’s no place like the manor, to my mind. I’m’awrully fond of the old place, and up to time. We shall be home before midnight, all being well. I'm afraid that our getting in at such a time will a bit upset andy arrangements which the Walc-ote people may have made for a reception, but we must have ’em up next day and give ’em a. lunch or a feed of some kind.

It was a clear, “v-.- v crisp, sharp air, and the moon and stars were shining brightly. She took his arm, and, pressing closely to him, walked up and down the deck. “And a. lovely one, eh?" “Have you enjoyed the time?” “Never had a better in my life,” he answered enthusiastically. “Didn’t know marriage was half so good.” ‘ 'L L -AA_-O” AUUVV ”I‘LL-“Dy .. “Or you might have tried'it before?” And she laughed. ‘ “If I’d met you before,” he replied, like a lover. “4 -_.- m.-- A. any of the thousand precautions at the time of Pierre’s death which she now saw she ought to have taken, and her father’s words recurred to. her over and over again: “You did not see ‘him dead.” How she wished she had.

But now if what she had begun to dread came true she felt half helpless to grapple with it.

She blamed herself for not having taken - o ~~~~~ J -“““““‘“-‘J‘ But Sir Jafiray was beginning to feel as strong desire to be home. He loved the place and longed to bethere and to see Lola installed as its beautiful mis- tress. He would have hurried home earlier had he followed his own inclina- tions, but he could 11m; interfere to stop the pleasure which she showed on every occasion in all the incidents of their traveling. He was delighted, however, when at length he stood with Lola on the big Atlantic liner and watched the lighthouse at Sandy Hook growing dim- mer and dimmer in the haze of distance and felt that they were homeward bound. He was surprised that Lola was silent and thoughtful. t was a new thing for her to feel , -VCV 'â€" “NV-albuu 5tbu|ic Her return to England was thus un- welcome. So long as they were thou- sands of miles away from Europe she was safe against discovery, and could she have had her way she would have prolonged their journey indefinitely. ’Ifi'that instant the revelation had come of the new feeling which was de- veloping in her, and the knowledge, in View of all that it meant, had agitated her as much as any incident in all her turbulent life. In the days that followed, Sir Jafi‘ray noticed for the first: time in his wife a waywardness and uncertainty of temper which were quite unusual, and they surprised and rather .grieved him. She was in reality fighting against her new emotions and striving resolutely to con- quer them. ‘ ' But she fought in vain, and from that moment, cnward she felt; herself drawnvclcser and closer to him until she ceased at MS} to wage a useless fight.

CHAPTER VIII. FACE TO FACE ONCE MORE. That night was one of the haréest in Lola’s life, but she faced the crisis with all the strength of her most re- sourceful character and came out of it undaunted and determined. So great was her self mastery and so strong her powers of acting that; Sir Jaflray did not: detect a single symptom of the struggle which absorbed her. flit-he foreign violin player, M.

He laughed pleasantly and pressed her arm, and she thought it; wiser to “Yes, but I mean if you fear some- thing’s going to happen?” “But a man doesn’t fear that unless he knows there’s something that can hap- pen. A man who walks straight isn’t afraid of tum ling into the ditch at the roadside. But once I had a presenti- ment, by the way, and it: came true, ” he no God after a pause. “What was that?” “When I saw you that day in the lit- tle woman’s house, I had a presentiâ€" ment that you would be my wife, and here we are.” “Then I don‘t believe in any other. Bad luck doesn’t becin with aman as a rule till he’s made a mess of things for himself. ” “Yes, of a kind,” he said. “When I've been hunting big game, for in- stance, and missed at the first shot, I always took it for an omen that if I didn’t hit with the secondlshould have a bad time, and I took good care not to miss, I can tell you.” “Oh, I don’t mean things you can avoid.” ”True, but there are other villains. Do you behave in omens, Jaffray?” She put the question impetuously. “We don’t breed cowboys in old Eng,â€" land,” he answered. “So that chap must have thought in Calladua,” he said, laughing at the recollection Of the way she had treated the man who had tried. to insult her. “ But you had to come no the rescue then. I wonder if you always would and will.” "'T‘It seems to have changed you a good bit,” he said. “You’re not: him the same girl in some ways. ” “Not with you?” She put the ques- tion in a tone that touched him at; once. “I’m the same with you.

They have proflt~ ed by their five months’ of warfare against the Americans. They are fast adopting American tactics, and are be- coming better disciplined and more skill- ful in the use of their weapons every day. Over 100,000 soldiers should be here ready for business, at the beginning of the dry season in November. Garrisons can then be stationed at strategic points. Frequent Chan zes Necessary. A centinuous warfare cannot be carried on in this enervatinsz climate by the same troops. Frequent reliefs are neces- sarv. Troops should not be kept here longer than a year. Men from a northern climate retain their native vigor for six or eight months after arrival here, and then begin to succumb to the various ailments of tropical weather. This is ex- emplified in the cases of the olunteers and those regulars who have (lien in the Philippines since last summer. The most of them are saturated with malaria. Many have rheumatism. and are greatly debilitated. They are unfit for iurther duty, and recuperation seems slow and unsatisfactory.
