What is it you fear * Not that I shall ever change toward you, or be different in any way, so far as you are concerned * Yes, Lord'Aylmer was at home, and her ladyship also ; and the servant, having no special orders about Mr. Aylmer, at once snowed him into a pretty litt‘e room off the smaliest of the two drawingâ€"rooms, and told him that he would inform her. ladyship of his E.reunoe. And in less than three minutes Lady Aylmer came. Then he happenedâ€"attracted by her silence, and the absence of the sweet laugh which generally echoed hisâ€"to turn and look at her. The next moment h» had caught her in his arms, and was kissing her ms a man only kisses the one woman that he loves in all the world. ** My people !" he echoed, contemptuousâ€" ly. **Â¥es, so they are ; but youâ€"you are my lifeâ€"my very soulâ€"the light of my eyes, why, you are myself, Why, to put my love and care for you incomparison for one inâ€" stant with what I feel for all my people together, would be too funny for words, if you were not distressed mbout it. Bat when I see you look like that, darling, it hurts me so awfullyâ€"it cuts me up, so that I can hardly talk or think sensibly. My dear little love, there is nobody in all the wide world that I could ever put beside you, or ever shall." ‘*You are sure *" she cried. "I am quite sure," he answered, looking her ltuisht and true in the eyes. *‘And now, my dearest, it is halfâ€"past 11 ; let me take you out for a turn before lunch time." A n.u’ngo and sickly faintness began to creep over Dorothy, & dull and indefinable sense of forboding rose in her heart, and threatened to sutfocate her. "Shall you be long there ?" she faltered. H# always found it an easy matter to comfort and reassure the little wife who loved him so dearly, and, although by living zo much alone and wit.honcmrropcr companionship, she was apt to brood over the circumatances of her life, and to conjure up all sorts of gloomy fancies and dread shadows which might come to pass at some future time, these mists always yielded before the irresistible sunshine of his love, snd they were happier, if possible, than they had been aforetime. _ ooo In bis innermost heart, however, Dick was not so easy about his approaching interview with Lord Aylmer as he made Dorothy believe; and he knocked at the door of the old savage‘s town house with rather & quski:g heart and something of the vague dread which he had coaxed and soothed away from his wife‘s tender hcart, "*Toâ€"day, I think dearest," he replied ; * just after lunch will be & good time. The savage is never quite so savage after a meal as at any other time." _ \ â€"**They are your people," she faltered y P * and"â€"â€" * Oh 1 I think he will hardly insist, one way or theother, "he answered eusily. ‘"Anyâ€" way, I must go and be civil to my lady, who isn‘t half a bad sort, and gently intimate my decision to my lord." _ _ *When will you go, Dick?" Dorothy asked. A h Wls «* But supposing that he says no," said Dorothy, who in fier heart regarded Dick‘s * old savage" as an allâ€"powerful being, who hadIt in his power to make or mar her very existence. S _ **Certainly notâ€"why should 1 ? But | shall tell bim I have no fancy for India and that I‘d rather stop at bome." _ _ uuy'dsy. And then 1 can tell the old savage that he maj' use his influence with his dear old friend Barry Boynton â€" for somebody else." _ C & _ ** But you won‘t do any thing rash Dorothy cried. ‘‘But we are always together in heart,my dearest,"* cried Dick, fondly. ‘"And my lady‘s health is causing him the gravest anxietyâ€"b‘m ! We may take that with a grain of ealt, Gravest anxiety ! _ Why, if my lady was lying at death‘s door that old savage wouldn‘t be anxious, unless for fear that she should get better. However, as they are in town I must go and inquire afterher ladyship. Sha‘s a hard nailenough, but she has always been good to me in her way, und she‘s worL"n a &huu‘nnd of him **Nor I," Dorothy chimed in ; "exceptâ€" except that we should always be together then, Dick," with a soft touch of yearning in her voice. _ *‘The amount of delicate information he conveys is â€" really remarkable." Dick laughed, for Dick, by the bye, was on a tenâ€" days‘ leave, and was jovial and inclined to view the whole world through roseâ€"colored glasses in consequence ; ‘‘that is to let me know that I needn‘texpect to step into his shoes for many a day yet. Blsss me ! if he knew how little Icared about it,one way or the other." Then they read the letter over again,and made their comments upon itâ€"she with her sweet face pressed mgainst his check, he with his arm close about her waist. **Not a bit of it,my darling. Dick cried, "‘I‘ll see the old savage at perdition before 1 accept it. I only go to India on one conâ€" ditionâ€"that I go as a free man ; that is, with you as my acknowledged wife." means India 1‘ It began by assuring his nephew that he was enjoying the very best of health, that he had not had & touch of gout for komeâ€" thing over three months, but that her lauyâ€" ship was in exceedingly queer healthâ€"that she was, indeed, thoroughly out of sorts, and at present giving beth himself and her medical adviser cause for the graveat anxâ€" iety. Then he went on to say that he had just had a visit of nearly a week from his: old friend Barry Boyntonâ€"*" That‘s Lord: Skevversleigh," said Dick, as he read the: letter aloudâ€"and that Barry Boynton had just been appointed Governorâ€"Geneéral of Madras, and that as heâ€"*‘the old savage " ‘ ~felt his nephew could not lose by advanceâ€" ment in his profession, whether be ever happened to come in for the Aylmer title or not,he had put in a good word for him with his old friend, with the result that Barry Boynton had promised to appoint him as his military secretary. CHAPTER 11. AN UNEXPECTED APPOINTMENT. About two months after this a sort of avalanche fell upon the little household in Palace Mansions. It took the form of a letter from Lord Aylmer, the old savage at Aylmer‘s Field, and as Dick in his first surprise exclaimed : ** Now, who the devil was to expect the old savage would be up to this sort of game ?"

But stay," as ho saw by Dick‘s face that this would. be the most desirable course he could take, "I will.do no such thing. Damme, sir, I‘ve had about enough of your airs and graces. Hark you, and mark what I say ! To India you go without another word, or I out off your allowance from this day .week, every my of it. As you yourself said just now, m to a lot of trouble for you, put myself under a great obligation to & friend in orâ€" der to serve you, and all the roturn Iget for it is that you get on your high horse and accuse me of secondâ€"hand motives, Damme sir, it‘s intolerableâ€"simple intolâ€" erable.* And I suppose K‘o‘n think I don‘t kbow why you want to shirk a year or two in India, cb ?" "I mean this," said Dick, firmly, ‘J'Up to now I have, as you know, always set my face against going to India, 1 kate and loath g;e very idea of it. England is good enough for me, and I went with the Forty. third on purpose that I might not have to o to India, or lose a lot of seniority. What ?wun. to know is this : What has made you take a lot of trouble, and put yourself under an obligation to Lord Skevversleigh, in order to bring about what you know would be utterly distasteful to me ?" 3 «* But I‘m not devilish anxious for the apâ€" pointment, " Dick broke in at last, I‘m not anxious for it at all." For a minute or so Lord Aylmer did not speak; heâ€"moved his left foot uncasily, in a way distinctly suggestive of gouty twinges, and fidgeted a little with his rings and fioger nails. «*You got my letter," he remarked at laet, * Yes, I did, Sir; that brought me here, ‘‘ Dick answered. ‘‘Ab, that‘s all right," said the old lord, in a seltâ€"satisfied tone. *‘Great piece of luck for you, my boy; great piece of luck. I couldn‘t have got it for any one else; in fact, _ I rather fancy Barry Boynton had somebody else in his eye, though, of course, he couldn‘t very well refuse me, Still, of course, I had to tell him you were devilish anxious for the appointment." For a minute or two the old man looked at him in profound amazement,. *‘Damme, sir,do you mean to say you are going to turn round on me after all the trouble I‘ve taken for you? Damme, sir, do you mean to tell me that?" «*Not exactly that," answered Dick, still keeping Lady Aylmer‘s advice in his mind; but‘â€"â€" ‘"Then what do you mean, sir ?" roared the old man, losing his temper altogether. _Dick gave himsel{ up for lost at once, but he sat down and waited for * the old savage" to go on with the conversation. *Perhaps not. Stitl, you never gave her & chance, did you? Now, of course, it is too late." ""Very much too late," returned Dick, promptly, and grinning goodâ€"humoredly at the remembrance of now very much too late it was for him to build up the fortunes of'fl.he house of Aylmer by means of a rich wife. He turned as the door opened again, ‘His lordship will be Sl““d to see you in the library, sir," said Jenkins. ** I will come," said Dick. «* And good luck go with you," said Lady Aylmer, kindly, as he went. * Come back and tell me how you get on." s Poor Dick ! he did not get on very well. He found Lord Aylmer sitting in & big chair in the library looking ominously bland. «* Good morning, sir," said Dick. "On, gaod morning, Dick, sit down, my boy," rejoined Lord Alymer, quite tenderâ€" ly. fessly." .: :. x "Bat I dow‘t believe Mary Annandale would have had me,‘ Dick declared. *‘You may be,. You know, of course, Dick, that it was your steady refusal to marry Mary Annandale that set him so thoroughly against you," ** Mary Annandals‘s money," corrected Dick. Dick laughed outright. ‘"Very well, I will be most careful," he replied ; then added, "It‘s awfully good of you to give me a good tip out of your experience, I have never been able to hit it of with his lordship yet. Perhaps 1 shall be more fortunate this time." «‘Best to treat him in the imperial way that satisfies him," said her ladyship to Dick, as the man closed the door behind him. "I always doit when I want to make him a little more humble than usual, I don‘t do it at other times, because he is eminently a person with whom familiarity breeds contempt." DURHAM, CO. GREY, FHURSDAY, MAY 9, 1895. " He is after something; I‘ve known it for weeks, but 1 can‘t make out what," Lady Aylmer went on. * First by his perâ€" sistence that he has not got the gout. I had been married to him a great many years, _ but _ I never knew him deliberately deny himself the pleasure of _ gloating over his _ gout _ beâ€" fore, He must mean something by it. I thought, of course," she went on, with a nonchalant air, ‘‘that there was somebody else. But his anxiety about my health, and his desire to pack youoff to India, where he knows you don‘t want to go make one think differently. In any case, go to the library and see him, and whatâ€" ever you do, my dearest boy, don‘t irritate him. Don‘t contradict him ; tell bim at once that you don‘t want to go to Indiaâ€" that is, if you really don‘t want to do so ; but if he insists, take my most serious adâ€" vice and temporizeâ€"put the time off unyâ€" howâ€"tell him you must have a week in which to consider the idea." "Yos, 1‘ll do that," said Dick, rising. "Stay, we hac better send to him first," said Lady Aylmer, touching the button of the bell, _ **Yes, Jenkins, teil Lord Aylmer that Mr. Aylmer is here and wishes to see him." So Lady Aylmer took the letter read it *"* H‘m," she muttered. "I afraid the wish is father to the thoug! my dear boy," she said drily. . ** It‘s had a touch of toothache or nouralgia al a week ago, entirely because he was cons ed with goutâ€"though, mind, he decl stoutly that he hasn‘t had gout for m than three montheâ€" and persisted in h ing the window open all the way fi Leicester.

Dick looked straight into her clear eyes. "My dear little love," besaid, L am afraid it does mean India,after all ; but if it does, it shall mean India for us both." . "«*Perhapsâ€"who knows * All the same, there is one lw:z I shall never tell you," duwinfiler tenderly toward him. ""I sball always be true as the gospels when I tell you that I ‘ove you better than any other woman in the world." â€" o «* Ah !

"Oh, Dick !" she cried, " but what a wicked old She had a pretty little brass stand, a tray, lpiri'rlbml) and kettle, and with this apparatus she always made the tea herself, with much pride, and some help from Dick, It generaliy fell to Dick‘slot tolight the llmJJ, but toâ€"day she was all ready for him,and had but to turn up the light a little to have the water boiling. * There," she said, after about five minâ€" utes, and banding him a cup of tea. ‘‘Now, tell me dlâ€"everfithing.

Dorothy‘s sensitive beart went down to zero at once, and the corners of her aweet lips drooped ominously. ** Oh, Dick!it is bad news," she said, mournâ€" fullx ** and you are trying to hide it from ie No, no. I am not," he said, hurriedly, "*But there‘s no need to tell all our private affairs out here for everybody to hear." _ In spite of his anxiety, Dick burst out langhing. * Come in here, my darling," he said, drawing her toward the drawingâ€" room ; * and you shall give me a cup of tem while I tell you all about it." es _ ‘"But there isn‘t any everybody," said Dorothy ; = there‘s only Bntarmin, 10 CHAPTER 11. DINNA FORGET, After this intecview it was Dick‘s pleasâ€" ant task to go home and tell the nows to his wife. Itghad to be done ; it was useâ€" less his trying to shirk it, because Dorothy knew why and where he had goue, and was too cager to hear the result of his visit to his uncle to let him even light a cigarâ€" ette in peace, until she had heard all chat was to hear ; in fact, as soon as he put his kefiinto the door she flew out to meet him. « Dick, is it good news ?" she cried, eagerâ€" ly _""And I wonder," said my lady, thoughtâ€" fully, ‘‘what it is that he has in bis mind. No good, I‘m afraid." "I will bear everything in mind," said Dick, steadily ; and then he shut the door, leaving the old man alone. _ Mueh "Well?" cried Lady Aylmer, when he looked in to the little boudoir again. ‘‘*How did you get on *" febatie R "And you‘ll bear in mind that a refusal of the uPpoianent. cuts off your allowance at once." "We didn‘t get on at all," Dick answered. "He means me to go to India by hook or by erook," qh‘ EN & **I don‘t think that would interest you, whether I did or not," said Dick, coldly ; ‘‘but one thing is very certain, which is that I am not going to India without thinkâ€" ing the whys and wherefores thoroughly over.

"Damme, sir, that woman is never tired of throwing it at me. If I‘d married her for her money, she couldn‘t very well have thrown that at meâ€"been a fool if she had." There was a moment‘s silence, then the old lord went on again : Look here, Dick, you‘ve got to make up your mind to one thingâ€"I mean you to go to India, so you may as well go with a good Eme. B «I‘ll think it over," said Dick, "I want an answer now," irritably. "‘That‘s impossible, sir,unless you like to take no for an answer, right away," Dick replied, firmly. Ese ‘ ‘| _**Bah!" grunted the old man, in a fury. | "I suppose you believe in ali that rot about $ mnrging for love." | _ **Most certainly I do." *‘And you mean to do it?" **I don‘t mean to marry anybody at presâ€" ent," said Dick, coolly. He felt rnorepof a sneak than he bad ever felt in all his life to leave the old man in his belief that his dear little Dorothy was less to him than. she was, yet he knew that for her suke, for the sake of her actual bodily welfare, he could not afford to have an open declaraâ€" tion of war just then. Sneak or no sneak, he must manage to put the time on a little until the child had come, and all was weil with Dorothy. Lord Alymer rose from his chair in a rage f tottering fury. ‘* Listen to me, sir," he undered, It may be all very pretty and ayllic and all that, but you wouldn‘t marry the woman I chose for you, and now you shall go to India to pay for it. It‘s no use ou thinking you have any choice in the 1 believe you married for love your self," suggested Dick, in his mildest tones, your excuses, and your shillyâ€"shallying, and all your sentimentality, love, and all lthe rest of it.

For a moment Dick was startled, but he did not show it by his manner in the least.

The English, asis well known, introduced sheep farming into New Zeaâ€" land, as well ss into Australis, Now these parrots have acquired the habit of perching upon the backs of the sheep and excavating holes therein with their formidable bills in order to extract the kidneys. The fact is so much the more curious in that it cannot be attributed to an innate instinct, since, previous to the arrival of the Englisn, these birds had never seen a sheep, nor even eny animal of analogous conformation, the fauns of New Zealand including scarceâ€" ly a single mammal. We know, moreover, that in entire Oceanica there are no other mammals except mrlugmll. There is here, then,on the part of these birds, an act of intelligence and even of calculation, so much "the more curious in that it is cerâ€" tainly complicated with a phenomenon of langtage or analogous communication. . It is true that the birds are parrots, but the fact is none the less worthy of remark. And after that she wore upon her wrist Dick‘s trust gift to herâ€"a golden bangle, with two words inscribed upon it in little diamonds, which caught the light and flashed their message at her a hundred times a dayâ€"two simple words: *Dinua Forget." Dorothy said that it would be delightful, and thoughtâ€"well, with something like dismay, that she should never get through it all. _ Yet the fear of once giving way and breaking down aitogother kept her up, and she went bravely through with that happy day, which afterward lived in her ming as being one long spell of agony. «We will have a real happy day,darling," he said, when Dorothy had given way about imparting the news to the savage. *By and by we shall have more money than opporâ€" tunity of spending it together ; let us make bay while we can. First, we will go and have & look at the shops together, and I will buy you something you can always wear till we meet again; then we will go to some good place ngzet alittle lunch; and, mfterwards, have a drive, come back bere, dress, dine somewhere, and do a theatre after it. There, what do you say to that a real happy day ?" arar Dick‘s heart felt like to break, **Dorothy, Dorothy," he said, *‘my dear, little, brave, unselfish wife, every word you say makes me love you a thousand times more than I did before. My desrest, I give in to anyâ€" thing that you wish ; you shall decide everything, and 1â€"I will give all the rest of my life trying to make you feel that you did not throw away your love and confidence when you gave them to me."" m **But you would be able to come someâ€" times,"" she answered, with a brave smile. "Every one knows that half aloaf is better than no bread, and if one cannot get even half a loaf, it is foolish to quarrel with the slice which keeps one from starving." **But, darling,you don‘t knowâ€"you don‘t realize how very different life would be out there," he urged. **Here, very few people take the trouble to notice us, one way or another, and if they no, it does not much matter. But out there, as military secre tary, I should have & lot to do, 1 should scarcely have & moment to myself, I should not be able to go anywhere with you, and probably very seldom be able to come and see you." Mn to onl ** Yes, yes, you can, dear. Besides, it is not only ourselves that we have to think of. There is the child; and, although if we go to India together, we might be able to get along pretty well by ourselves, we should not be able to afford to send the child home, if the climate was bad for it, Why, Dick, dear, we should not be mable to afford to come home ourselves, if we could not stand the heat." ‘"That is true," he admitted. * And don‘t you think," she went on, eagerly, *‘ that 1 would rather live as I am doing now for & year or two longer than I would run the risk of seeing you die, perâ€" haps, because we had no money to bring us home? Just think what I should feel like if we were in such a case as that." ; proud and hlpfiy to be able to do something to help you," she replied. * I would rather that you were here ; but, then, I would alâ€" ways rather that you were here. ‘That is not a new feeling for me,. And I shall not be alone. I shall have Barbara, you know. Barbara will take care of me, and let you know exactly how I get on." «* No ; I cannot let you do it," he said, when she paused. f melre ‘But I can‘t leave you alone, just nowâ€" I can‘t Dorothy," he exclaimed. * It‘s imâ€" possible ; it would be inhuman, _ Why I should be out of my mind with anxiety and distress," ed " But, my dear, my dear, do you know that in that case I should have to go at once ?‘ he cried. "Imean," she ended, firmly, "that 1 would sooner go to India as Mrs. Harris than drag you down in your protession, and put you at lopgerheads with your uncle;because he is your uncle,and the head of your family _ ** Well, just this. Supposing that Lord Aylmer had let you refure this apâ€" pointment, and had not made himself dis agreeable about your allowauce, we should have to go on just as we are doing now. And, of course, Dick, dear, I should like to be Mrs, Aylmer instesd of Mrs. Harris, «nd to live with the regiment rather than in Palace Mansions ; butâ€"but, at the same time, since there is so much to be gained by it, 1 would just as soon be Mn.gmil in one place as in another, if I must be Mrs. Harris at all." Dick caught her close to him,"* Dorothy, you mean‘"‘â€"â€"he began. «* What do you msan, Dorothy ?" he asked, quickly. _ _ _ _ Dorothy drew her breath sharply, and for u minute or two did not speak. *‘ Dick, darling," she said, at length; ** it is true that you are married, but I don‘t see thet that is any reason why you should not be in your senses, too." Mecmiear _ *‘No, I don‘t suppose I should. I daresay I should never have bothered to get such an appointment, because, as you know, I hate the very idea of going to India, but at the same time,to be quite honest,I don‘t suppose I should have refused. I don‘t supâ€" pose any man in hissenses would," . n "I mean would you have refused it if you had not been {marriedâ€"if you had never seen me * ** No, noâ€"you would know that I was «* Yes, I know that, Dick," she answer ‘;:Oh ! «zellâ€"yeaâ€"it is, dear," he admitâ€" ted. _ There was a moment‘s silence.
