A week later Gaunt was lying on his bed in his room at the Hall, It was the m in which his father, his grand- 'ather--and how many generations of Gaunts!--had been born and had died. It was a bright and sunny day, but the blinds were drawn, and the nurse and 6 doctor «poke in whispers ae they stood by the bed, and looked at the scorched nd maimed figure lying wo still and help- essly upon it, Gaunt opened his eyes, and looked from one to the other.

It was the look which the lioness wears when she is protecting her cub, the mother when she holds her best beloved a ges her bosom and so dares Death it- self. The doctor looked at her and then Gaunt. "Has he fainted?" he asked in a grave whisper. . Decima hel the dear head still closer-- yet, how gently!--to her bosom. "You--you had better go, my dear young lady," said the doctor, gravely. But Gaunt opened his eyes. "Let her stay, doctor!" he said, with a emile, "I'm not going to die. Wen don't die when they have so much to live for, and I--well, Im going to liye!" And he did.

They ought to have been bored to death; but, aerenys to say, they wero not. Their love had been tried in a very fiery fur- nace, and had stood a test even more s8¢- vere thal) a prolonged honeymoon; and ft was not because they were tired of wan- dering, or of each other, that at last, one day early in summer, they turned home- ward.

There were triumphal arches, and a braes band, and the whole village turned out to meet and greet them, and escorted them to the Hall with cheers which drowned the musio of the band. J'o those who know the power and volume of a country brass band thie will convey a fairly accurate idea of the heartinees of the cheerera. Having reached home, Gaunt and Deci- ma would have liked to kettle down into a life as closely resembling their quiet honeymoon ae possible; but Decima was e to yield to the desire. "Ves," she said, stifling a sigh, as she regarded the little heap of at Le which very #oon appeared eside the breakfast plate, 'we must go, of course, must not forget that you do not belong to me altogether."

"Yes," ghe responded, clinging to his hand, and nodding at him and then back at her mother, whe was following more slowly and timidly. "And you are glad to see me? You don't mind my coming, do you?" "Glad! I should think so!" said Gaunt. "How do you do, Mrs, Watson?" he added, extending his hand to her mother. "There, I said so!" exclaimed Maude. "Mamma eaid we ought not to come; that we ought to wait; that it wasn't good manners; but I knew you wouldn't mind, that you'd be glad to see me, And, oh, L did so want to eee you!" Gaunt, all aglow with pleasure, turned to Decima and the others. "Thig ie Mrs. Watson and little Maude, my fellow-passengers on the poor 'Peyen- sey Castle, sie' But Decie had guessed their identity be- fore this, and had given an eager hand to the rather embarrassed lady. "Oh, I am 6o glad to see you---so very glad!" said Decima, with "the Decima yoice and smile," as Lady Roborough call- ed it. "Oh, let her come to me, Edward!" she said, wistfully, and she drew the child to her eagerly. "IT ought to apologize for this---this in- trusion," said Mrs, Watson, nervously; "but --but we are in England on a, Visit, and Maude insisted upon coming--" "And you. rery properly aud _ kindly yielded," said Gaunt, gratefully. "It was very kind of you; and if I tried I couldn't tell you how glad I--and my wife, this is my wife, Mrs. Watson--are to ees you!" "7 said so, mother!" said Maude, nod- ding triumphantly. "How well she looks!" said Gaunt, a few minutes later, and speaking in an under- tone, so that Maude, who was the centre ofa spony of ladies, to whom ehe was try- ing to talk all at once, might not hear. Her mother's face flushed with gratitude and happiness. "Yes; she is ae well. It wae Africa. Oh, {t is a wonderful country, and--and I can never be too thankful!

'As if she could. aides, he doesn't like being thauked; I now that." "Come, Maude," said Mrs. Watson. "We will go now, Lady Gaunt." "Indeed you will not!" caid Decima, with gentile eternness. "You are not going for a long time, oh, a very long time; you are going to stay with us, are you not, Maude?" Maude looked from Gaunt to Decima, then nodded and smiled ecstatically. "Oh, yes, yes. Please, mamma," she gaid, beseechingly; and Gaunt rendered any discussion futile by sending for their luggage. . A little later, when the other guests had gone--with the exception of wady Ro borough, who was staying in the house-- Decima and she were sitting at tea with Mrs. Watson on the terrace. Maude was on Gaunt's knee and Mrs. Watson was tell. ing the other two ladies of the child's mar- yellous recovery. "And bow well you look--how well and strong!" Maude was saying to Gaunt "We read all about the fire and what you did, and mamma said she was afraid you'd die; but EF said no, that you were too strong. Do you remember how you used to life me, chair and all, and carry me-- just as if I were a baby; Ike your dear little one in the nursery upstairs?" "You're a very big baby now, Maude," remarked Gaunt. "Yes; am I not? And I'm so strong, too. Oh, do you think I ought to have any more cake? Well, just this piece. What a pret- ty lady Lady Gaunt is!" she said, after a quiet munch. "Yes; I think so too. [I'm glad you agree with me." "And how--how happy, how very happy she looks!" irene' Maude, vontemplat- ing Decima thoughtfully. "Yes; I think she's fairly happy, Maude," he aesented. 'I don't, beat her yery often. Yes, I think she's happy." "T know why," said the ohild, with qutet laugh. Lady Roborough heard her and looked round. "Recanse she hath 'His Great Love.' she quoted to Gaunt.
