How much better then if he knew nothing about it until it was all over. and when this wretched smashâ€"up of Mr. Dor- iner's affairs Was all arranged, and Yolande and the old people quietly settled down in that little place in the country, how very much more comfortable it would be for poor Dallas to rejoin his wile and her re- lations then than now! But still she must not do anything treacher- ous or unfair, Lady Nora tells her- self â€"-â€" anything which would be brought up against her aitervmrds. "But, Dallas. my dearest boy,” she says in her sweet maternal fashion, caressing his arm with her dainty hand in its long shining black glove. “surely Yolande has written to you? I am sure I heard her speak of doing so a. few days after she saw you!" “No, she has not written to me," he declares, drawing away his arm from the dainty maternal touch. “But I dare say her time is very fully occupied. Perhaps” â€"â€" with an icy tone in his voice â€"- “when the sensor. is over and she is quite at leisure she will write: she knows the address. You are all going abroad.

Good-bye again. Of course you may tell Yolande you met me, if she cares toAhcar of me.” He raises his hat. and his bright, tawny, closeâ€"cropped hair gleams in the sun, and with a smile of adieu he disappears in the Crowd. 4‘ I “1 am going abroad. dearest." lady Nora sa‘ys softly -â€" “going to Switzerland, I think. with some friends.” “I can write from there, and tell him all about. it. That will be much the better way," she decides instantly. “I believe Yolandc is goâ€" ing into the country as soon as her uncle is able to leave town," she adds aloud. “I shall tel!

There are eVen tears in Lady Nora's bright eyes, she feels so tender and self-sacrificing just at this moment, But her son putsthe crumpled note back on her lap very decidedly, and touched the little black-gloved dainty hand with his lips.

This feeling is tingling through .him as with haughty humility and. forced composun: he apologizes for his “intrusion." and asks Hr.
