He was not only deeply disappointed} but embittered by his disappointment, and Elspeth was half alarmed by the angry, thwarted look in his eyes. She could not doubt that he had really been attracted by he , that he fancied him- self in love wit her, if nothing more; 1 yet she felt dimly that love denied would not be enough to bring that look to his face.

She had gone a lit- tle farther 'than she had intended, and consequently was rather late for Mr. Kenrith. To reach the hotei in time, she walked very fast and tore her dress. Altogether, it did seem as if everything was bent upon going wrong this morning, and when she made several mistakes in taking down from Kenrith’s dictation, for the first time since she had begun working for him, the last feather appeared to he added to her burden. _ n. ‘ “ She grew red and white, and the tears rose to her eyes, stinging her lids so sharply that she had to bite her lip to keep them back. Then. in the midst of her distress, she saw that Kenrith was looking at her. “My child,” he said, “you are over- worked, I have seen it for several da_y_s.” 1_ A-_- ‘unm ou Do How different was his tone from James Grant’s!

Now the girl dared not look up at him, the unshed tears hung so ,heavy in her eyes, and her heart was beat- ing fast. How good he was â€"â€" how kind, and how far, far away from her in spite of his sympathy and consid- eration. “Tell me,” he went on, “is any- thing worrying you? And if there is, couldn’t you let me help?" “1â€"1 am quite happy, thank you. only a little tired,” she said. “Not homesick?” “I have no home.” “Poor child. You are so young to be fighting your own battles alone in the world. You ought to have com- panionship and amusement. I don’t believe you are out in the fresh air enough. Motoring would do you more good than anything.” Elspeth laughed. _“I’m notmjoking.” Kenrith went on. -A_.......gn “Do you like motoring?” “I’ve never tried,” said the girl. “I am sure I should love it, but I m not very likely ever to find out by experience.” 1 nuj -_-A I...

Then she burst out laughing. It was strange laughter, and Elspeth !wondered at it, just as she had won- dered at the expression of the wo- .man’s face. “You are too kind, Countess,’ said Elspeth, really grateful, though she would not have given up Kenrith’s invitation for anything which could have been offered. “I’m so sorrxyou me lonelgr‘; Bulgmu sée'vi’ire proxfiiéed, and if I didn’t go, Lady Hilary would have to stop behin_d-.” 1 A! n---- "My chauffeur has had a slight ae- cident, it seems,” said Kenrith, as the two girls in motor veils and coats appeared at the door. “He has hurt his hand and can’t drive, so I am so- ing to take you myself. You needn’t be frightened. On the whole I think I may say, without conceit. I'm the better driver oi the t_w_o.”‘ ‘ ‘Ovv- -â€"- He put the two girls together in the tonneau oi the car, which was a fine one of the latest ty , 60-horse- power. Having started t e motor he took his place in the chaufleur’s seat. and in another instant they were 3 in- ning away down the long win 'ng avenue which led away from the eas- tle and through the park. They had not gone far when they came in sight of Mr. Trowbridge walking leisurely toward the hotel. He looked up, saw the car, with Kenrith driving, and quickly his eyes flashed over the other occupants. Neither of the girls wore veils heavy enough to disguise their features; they_h_oth bowed, Pady Hil- 9 -_I‘_. ary rather coldly and mechanically.' Trowbridge snatched off his Panama. But seeing Lady Hilary in the car,‘ instead of smiling in greeting, he grew ghastly pale, and, turning, shout- ed after the motor as it flew by him. Elspeth caught the look of horror on his face, which reminded her of the expression she had seen Countess Radepolskoi wear when told that she, Elspeth, was going motoring in Mr. Kenrith’s car. A chill crept through her veins, and she wondered greatly; but neither she nor her two com- panions heard Trowbridge shouting, "Stopâ€"stop !’.’ In the distance, a dog; cart was coming up the avenue, and Kenrith was loudly sounding a warn- ing, so that the voice of the man sped on, passing through the park sates. ,.snd put into ,the. 011111191911- D, CHAPTER VIII. continued. no fur- OI We are Agents for MeClary’s famous lines of Ranges, Stoves, Heaters, etc. Will George Matthews, or a man named Maguire, who were in the 311w gait...
