THE ‘Qtfic'kl'y the door opened, and Lad} Lambart, looking very handsome. and almost girlish, in a youthful]: made white dress, stood on the threshold. She had had a charming smile on her lips for Mr. Kenrith, but it froze at sight of Elspeth sittinr' cosily at his table with sheets 0’ mannscript in her hand. "Oh. I. am so sorry to inteh'mr you. I didn’t dream you were worl- ing,” she said. “You know you toL‘ me last evening that if I wank-(l book to come to your sitting-mo and choose it when yours have her unpacked. Hilary and I have no" worth reading, so I took you at your work. but”â€" “There is no ‘but,’ ” Kenrith as- sured her, pleasantly. “Miss Dean and I had really finished. and our time for work is over. My man has filled the bookcase with the contents of my boxes, you see, and you have only to choose.” Lady Lambart came in, ignoring Elspeth, though Kenrith had spoken her name in a way to make a bow a gracious act. The girl rose, and, hav- ing replaced her typewriter in its case, would have gone quietly out of the room without a word, had not Kenrith sprang to open the door for her. “Thank you very much, Miss Dean,” he said. “You have been splendid, and with such kind help as yours I shall look forward to my hours of work here. even more than I had _ expected." His words, so evidently spoken to show Ladf' Lambart, as well as the girl horse 1, his appreciation, touch- ed Elspeth, and warmed her heart, but she was not to leave the room with such a happy impression for her last one. “Isn’t it that common little crea- ture who got in first-class with us yesterday. and I took for some one’s maid?” she heard Lady Lambart ask in clear tones as the door closed. Perhaps, if she had caught Ken- rith’s answer, she would not have felt so crushed; but she did not catch it, and so she went away with ting- ling cheeks, wondering if she really did look common, and if she were the sort of girl to be mistaken for a lady's maid. _ I 1---, -A‘-. 0"“; w “Cw-w. Her next hour of work, directly l after luncheon, was with Lady Ard- cliffe, whom Mr. McGowan had de- scribed as a “peeress who wished to i be a poetess.” Elspeth had seen her in the morning talking with Hilary Lambart, but Lady Ardcliffe, who was near-sighted and would not wear glasses, did not recognize the girl. She was fussy and flighty, with an air which would have suited a spoil- ed young beauty of twentyâ€"one, and though she announced that she was engaged upon a dramatic poem for a Review, which must be finished with. in a week, she would not settle to work. Instead she talked about her- self. and what she had written. and how much all she had done had been admired. “I do think,” she said, dreamily. “that I have a little of the divine affiatus. People sometimes ask me to teach them how to write: but how can one teach what is as elusive as flame? Countess Radepolskoi. for instance. is quite foolish over my work. She’s Polish, and has attempt- ed wrses in her own language. I don’t know how successfully. Now ’she is keen to try in English with my help. Perhaps she will want you to type for her, but if she (lees, mind I can’t give you up a moment. of my hour. You must find other time for :her. Have you seen her? Has she asked Mr. McGowan to let her have her.” The girl clicked her machine as if to quietly remind the poetess that time was being wasted. but Lady Ardeliffe. rushed off upon a new tack. “'l‘eil me, did you admire the i('ountess?" she inquired, with an which Elspeth was at. a eagerness . loss to understand. “I should lll-";‘. the opinion of a newcomer on that sub- l . .

Then, with flushed cheeks and dilated eyes, she went on: “Look here, my dear, I have something to ask you. Are you fond of jewelry? But of course you are. All normal young girls are. Now, you are going to help me nicely with my work, and I want to give you something pretty to encourage you. Perhaps you have heard that I have rather a fad for jewels, and own a great many. Now. I’m going to get a box where I keep my rings, and I will point out some from among which you may take your choice.” “Oh, no, Lady Ardcliffe, please not !” cried Elspeth. “You are very good, but I couldn’t take such a pres- ent. I am paid by the management of the hotel for all I do for you, and” "Ah, but there is something else I want you to do, as a great favor to me, something the management has nothing to do with, and will hear no- thing about, if you are the nice, sen- sible girl I take you for,” broke in Lady Ardcliffe. “You needn’t hesi- tate to have the ring, and perhaps another little token later on. if you use me good. for you will have earn- ed them. Don’t look so anxious. It's only quite an easy thing I want you to do, and it won’t interfere with any duty.- All I ask is that you will tell me if Mr. Trowbridge writes any love letters, or, indeed, letters of any kind, to women, or if when with him you hear or see anything which makes you suppose he cares about. Countess Radepolskoi." 1“ A‘ “I couldn’t possibly,” Elspeth re- plied in haste. “I’m sure you are speaking thoughtlessly, but if I did what you ask I should be a spy, a very mean spy, and I should deserve to be discharged." “Oh, dear!” exclaimed Lady Ard- cliffe, distressfully, "such an idea never occurred to me. Of course, I would not have asked you if it had. Please forget that I did. But you shall see my jewels some day, in any case; now, if you like” “Hadn’t we better get on with your work?” suggested Elspeth. “We have been talking for half an hour.” But Lady Ardcliffe protested that she was in no mood for writing. She had worked herself into quite a ner- vous state, she said, and would feel better if she chatted quietly. And so she did chat, though scarcely quietly, about not only her own affairs, but the affairs of everybody else of any importance in the Hydro. She told Elspeth that Lady Lambart was her- ribly in debt, that wherever she went duns rained upon her, and that “poor pretty Hilary” led a terrible life with such a mother. Somehow or other, however, Lady Ardcliffe went on, cons fidentially, Ida Lambart had contriv- ed to fascinate John Kenrith, the Lancashire millionaire, whom every- body liked so much. He was an ex- ceedingly clever man, as well as a charitable and a good one, but he had not been clever enough, appar- ently, to see through Ida Lambart. People were saying that she would sooner or later succeed in becoming his wife, and of course it would be a glorious thing for her. as well as for Hilary, if she should bring off such a great coup as that. Still, tradesmen were not confident enough of her ul- Iiinate success to trust her, in the hope of future benefits when she <llnllll'i have secured the rich man, Elspeth felt very guilty to sit hear- ing: these intimate details conmrnimx Lady Lamhart and poor Lady Hilary. and would have been glad to stop Lady Ardcliffe if she could, although she could not help being interested. It would have been impossible, how- ever, for a person in her position to dictate precepts of propriety to one in Lady Ardcliffe’s and she had no alternative save to listen, till her hour was at an end. She had been told, when she had finished work with Lady Ardcliffe, to return to Mr. McGowan’s room to learn whether or no the time left open for extras was to be filled. As she was about to enter, the door was opened abruptly, and Mr. Trowbridge came out so suddenly that Elspeth had to start back out of his way. He begged her pardon, and hurried on, but she had time to notice a look of extreme satisfaction on his handsome face. “He has perhaps got some favor out of Mr. McGowan,” thought the girl; but Mr. McGowan was not there. Mr. James Grant was alone in the room, sitting at his own desk with a bundle of papers in his hand. He had not the air, ‘however, of hav- ‘1‘“ co‘l‘h“*_ Elle rWlll, DJUULIIB uv -_â€"_. - with a bundle of papers in his hand. He had not the air, however, of hav- ing been at work with them. Evident- peth, he used all his self-control to hide. But he could not conceal the shaking of his fingers that fumbled nervously with .the papers, nor the Elspeth could only fancy that Mr. Trowbridge must have said something to annoy or offend Mr. Grant, pos- sibly criticising some defect in the management, with insolence, which Mr. Grant, as subordinate, had not been able to resent. She felt sorry for the pale young man, and smiled at him in a sweet and friendly way, as she asked if there was any work for her to do between three and four- thirty.

But the first moment you looked up into my face esterday I felt the presence of a kin red spirit. I want to have you for a friend. May I think of you so?" "Please do,” said Elspeth, rather puzzled and not quite at ease, but still with kindness in her heart for her fellow employe. She was very far from sure that she was a kindred spirit of Mr. Grant’s, but she was quite willing to behis friend. “Thank you. Shake hands upon that,” he said, seizing her hand and crushing it so hard that she could scarcely refrain from crying out. “Be- fore long I may test your friendship, by asking help such as only a wo- man can give. But I shall not make selfish demands upon it. Don’t fear that. I want the friendship which you have promised to promote your advantage and advancement. I can’t explain how at this moment, though you will know what I mean before long” i no ,___1:-.I AL- .VIJ ,. “You are very good." replied the girl. “But you haven’t told me yet whether I am wanted for the spare hour and a half before 4.30”â€" ate There was bitterness in Grant's voice, and it was clear to Elspeth, as it had begun to be earlier in the day, that the manager’s assistant did not like Captain Oxford. This, for some perverse reason, made her the more curious to see the young man of whom she had heard so much that was in- teresting and even mysterious. It seemed, therefore, that whenever she went to Mr. Kenrith’s sitting room, "T‘want 270 hd’re you for a friend. Jay I think of you so?" she was destined to look forward with more than ordinary interest to the events that awaited her on the other side of the door. What would he be like, this young man who loved Lady Hilary Lam- bart, and was loved by her in return; who had begun life as a ioundling, and made a career for himself in the army; who had won John Kenrith’s friendship and loyal admiration; who was labelled “dangerous” by Lady Lambart, and bitterly disliked by James Grant? Vumvu v-wuvv This was the thought in her mind as she tapped at the door of Mr. Ken- rith’s sitting room, for the second time that da_y_. _ _ I. 1 .A ,I John Kenrith himself opened it, and somehow she had the convictionâ€" conceited though it might have been in a mere typewriterâ€"that he was present for her sake, to introduce her to Captain Oxford and put her at her €8.86. vuuvo His first words confirmed the im- pression. “I ran in before keeping a golf engagement, to see if you were here, as I heard you were coming,” he explained. “My friend, Captain Oxford, met with an ugly adventure last night, with a rascally poacher, or some one of that ilk, it’s supposed, and was shot in the armâ€"of course, the arm that had been hurt before! That’s usually so, isn’t it? He won’t be able to help himself much for a day or two, though it's the left arm, for he has lost a good deal of blood and is rather weak. I think you had better not let him dictate many let- ters this afternoon; say three or four at most; and I’m sure he’ll listen to your advice. and rest afterward, tho h he doesn’t like playing in- vali .
