There had been her lovo for Sir Hubert, when she had rrtill pos.iesM.d Htreaks. as It were, of liolincss, pat^^hix-i of sublimity, which a gentle, forgiving hand might have drawn together into one beatlHc cov- ering: when, from grotitiide, from sheer love, from rerurvation of self-re«iie<t, from trust in the future, she might have grown good.

What good could il do, her mother ask- e<l herself, coming to London, reviving the whole story? She .had hoped, Liulu Glaucourt. that now she -would really gu 111 for art seriously. Hhe even suggertted that till things had (luieted down, she should go somewhere for a few morithn Willi Ma<lanie Dufour. travel, go round the world, or to Jap in. Krcwley had even olfereil to go with her. He was ..orry for her, [Without knowing the full extent to which she needed pity. That fearlul night, on wl i<* she had appcalisl to him, had 'brought out what was best in him, and since ho had token himself to task for not having l.Niked after her better. There had even been a toiii'liuiB episode between them in whi<h uhe had said: • Somehow Frew, I don t know how it is. 1)Ut 1 don't seem to have had a chance. Somehow one can't talk to mother about anything, and " Yw. with all her beauty it seemed to Krewley us if something had been miKsing tiliat would have helped her not to go the pace so miu'h. Dut even he did not know quite how fast the pace had been at one time. For she had told him an untruth that night, and although ho knew thiit it was au untruth, he thought that under the cii-<.umt«tari<i's it was ex- cmMliIe, and he didn't want to know the truth But Lady Judith h;id no intenlion of going abroad, nor of disappearing. On the contrary, this time she wis going 'o manage her '(fairs a great deal better. With grim huiuur, she t<ild herself that she had had eiiougli experience to do so. That awfml night had been one of the rovelatdons which the fates olTerixl her an an education. Instead of showering her with gifts, they had taught her how to weave her own destiny now, and she was going to weave it. It might be this year, next year, not for several yiwrs. but she thought that it would <onie iiuickly. bexvuiiie .^lie w«« moving so cleverly along the line, work- ing another set to that which she had hitherto iworked in, limiting her ambi- tion, tho while she widonivl it. spreading il out, making the basii of it tlriu. This time she woul<l have no revelations, no sutliriseii. because she would light in the open, iplaco herself beyond the possibil- ity of reproach. It was a daring si'heme, and «iio sh ' never spoke of. When her mother nek si her, with a api'ciea of de- spair, iwhat she intended to do, she woiKld laugh and say: "There doesn't seem to be anything to do, does there, mother?" And her mother began to wonder whether she was quite, quite sane. Hhe wiehiil that she w;ifliit, that she Would show more de;vuive signs of dementia, for then whe could be spirit- ed away. If there was one -woman in th" world to iwhom it was the btltorcst trial of all to have a daughter of nearly tiwenty-fivo on her h:uids, il waa Lady (llaiuourt. Hhe had ac<'eipted the burden ot one or two seaeoiiH, almoul iiji a c<«n- cwaion, wrung from her by motherhood and marri«ige, but she had never bar- gained for seven siioi^esBivo se.a,snm>, never, and really, next soaeon. she meant to go her own way and let Judith go hers. Hue really was quite eorivinciHl that so fir Judith had not gone heru, excniil per- baps that «>n<ie. And she recogiiiied all tho difficulties now. \ And lotely. Lady Judith h*(l even won- deroil how she could ever have been so foolish as to allow any engagement to lake place without having lii-Ki squrired that brute. Hugh' Olover. Of course sho ought to have known that he wasn't a gentleman, and &he ought to have seen that he w<i9 somehow eipunge;l from her circle. Now. although she knew th:it he had less power, she still thought that il was quite likely that he wan telling every- biKly. George Danvera wouldn't, thitt she knew, for all the treachery she h id met with, all the unkindne.s, the quiik reap- ing of tho whirlwind, she yet cniild (still discriminate. It was on tb;« d siriinina- tion th<il she counle<l.

She would find him. i:he told herself. Th:it iiinlit, that awful night at Glay«>uot. wh'eh rfor ever sopmiHl BBsw <ilml in her mind with moon- light and a griniiiiw faun, and fiuijy di*- phanoua drope of water, mook.lD« her pnrhty amur tho test of real pain,: of hor- ror, of lfBftiiiliHt*«n, «*«> .woutd aver feel. Y»t, for all that, how tho scene citme over hM* sometimes, and, 'because ahe had not seen the expression on his face, she would try and »iotur» to hereelf what George D.invem looked like when ihe over- heard Hugh Glover's words. Frevrtey had told her how well he bod behaved. Her brother yei. that comfort at ieiast aho had, that the men who belonged to her, to whom she belonged, were gentlemen. The awful, awful feering was that now shy would perhaps have to enter the ranks of those who were not quite, the parvenu, the manufaoturer, the self made man. Whe did not know, poor Lady Ja- .d'th, that th:;aoiwere the men from whom sho oould expect the moMt gentleman-like treatment, as society io now. If she had realized it perhaps she would have un- dertaken her prtspnt crusade in a gent- ler .'â- pirit. fraugiht with less ecorn. Yes. her brolher had behaved well, and Danvers h;id done all that waii 'possible, perhap«, where the one thing seeded im- pix-i.ible. When the words utteri-d by Glover on the I'lig^t air had reached them both, in a way 'which made it impoMsiblc to seein not to li" •>â-  "T bv the furthtst streteh of the imagination, not to understand. Uiem, both men had haltM for a n«<ond, but only a moment, both instinctively avert- ing the danger of hearing what eame next by quickness of decision. Frewlcy th.r('W away his cigarette, and Danvers. turning to him, said with supopressed agitation: "Apparently â- we are interrupting a seri- ous fonverv-ation, " and turning on h's heel -went bcick towards the house. Frcwley did not follow him. It was only right that Judith should know wiiat had been overheard, *nd, bi-sides, from Glover's tone, he fan<-ied that the man was annoying her. He pushed hi« way to- wards the fouutain. I •Wthat on earth can che he thinking ! about, to come here the last night, at this hour and wiifi that man?" He real- iied vaguely that it was all over between his sister and Danvem, and he blamed himself for it: what on earth had possewi- od him .to bring Glover with him? "I eame to fetch you," he told his em- ' ter. "I don't think you know how late it is, and ..." "Oh. Robin . . ." Judith strettihed her ^ tiwo hands tow.Trd him, with something like piteous entreaty in her face, which was BO unlike her, that Frewley cast a look of anger at Glover, who stooped to pick up something, something which d-dn't exist merrtly to gain time. I'm coming, Frew." Hhe oaet one hur- ried glance at the figure of the man and walkiKl away with her brother. A« they hurriwl along through the dark path- 'ways, de«terted iioiw by the soft mixjn- light, they could hear the man they had left behind, 'whistling softly to himnelf. What he was wondering was whether he had won or lost. "1 supp<KM> you know that Danvers was iwiitth me just now, and that we overheard somi'ibing of what that brute sa'd. " Frewley i poke siirlily. What on earth had induced her to come out and speak to the man? â- Oh. dear. de:ir!" Judith moaned: there is no other word with which to describe tho way she said: 'Oh. dear, dear!" Il wan a cry as of physical pa.in, and yet it vx>iced the coming to pai-s of some- thing which she had known muwt come. He told her ex.ic;iy what they had over- heard; «uid as they hurritsl back to the house. Judith turnixl the worde round and round in her mind, wondering it there « ;is any i:it! ppretation she could put ui>oii them 'whiiili would satisfy him. the man she was engaged to. No, sho didn't see ho« uhe <n\x\ii explain them away. If they had inly heard him say the ftrwt part nf tihe sentence: "Vou will have to marry me, " she could liave put it down to the insistence of a fervent love, but 'When that fellow Danve.s knows " When they were close to the house, she made her brother rejie.it them. "You are euro that th<we were the ex- act wordt*? " "Quite sure." No. those she could never explain, she mVht perhaps with another kind of man. have inventod a story of having flirtwl with this man Olover, but ho would want .to know everything, he would want an explanation, an explaiiatiim such. :is later whcn^te was minii-ter louiewhere. ho would <K.mand of another pcwer which had sligh'ed the prestige of Great Britain.

Judith ple:uled pit(>- oiinly. It W.I.S no good asking her what had possessed her. It was her evil gen- ius, the ill-luck which seemed to pursue her always, always. Njw she saw. an all the humans do in good time, that noth- ing th:it they can do avails, that the twists of f:ito arc beyond the moHt pot- ent mocbinations and designs of men. that f<:r all the good uhe had done she might as well have left Danvers and Glov- er to themselves, lor. as suroly as if il were written :icr«Ki the sky. she felt that everything had come to an end. .^he could never explain, never, and if she did. at any moment Glover might teW, even now, in a fow momenlj they mi(fhl be telking together.

Hut when thoy returnixl to the house, Dinvers wan not wotting for them. Some- thing, 'he <'ould not have told what, held liim h ick from seeing hor till she sent for liim. And more than that he wanted to think. What ho had heard would not have alTc.<'ted him so imuch if it had not conio on the top of a certain sense, al- most of diwoinfort. which had pervaded iiis whole engagement to her. Ho had never, he told himself, fcit quite certain of her. never been quite sure that idle cared for 'him deeply: there had al- ways been reserves, 'barrietig on her side, which he had found it difficult to mr- moarvt^ to inwroome, ^which he had "UWM been- qa*t«r sure that he had broken down, had surmounted, and now the explana- tion eeimed â- to lie in those words; "When that fellow Danvers knowB." A» vet. he thought only that H meant that she h«d been engtiged to him, Hugh Glover, but even that fact distunbed him, because she had told him that she had never been engaged. The. tact that «he seemed to have told him an untruth, troubled 'him. the fact that in heir past lay ilittle apisodes which she had not confided to him. Yet still, he wanted to trust her. It was pa9l one o"olook when he had left the rhododendron walk; it was three when he -went to bed. and no word had come firom her that she wished to see hiim. and tbi<> iwas his last night. It mu»t mean .that she intended to throw him over. In the mornimg his valet came to awaken him for the early train, but he told him that ho would not go till eleven. The carriage Which rolied away soon af- ter seven, carried Hugh Olover alone. Hugh Glover 'who thought it was not bet- ter to see any of them again Just now. and who had thought to traveJ i:p to tow.n 'With Danvers. At breakfast, Judith did not appear, and her silence held in it something om- inous for George Danvera. Af-.cT breakfji»t. he sal down and wrote her a letter. He had hoped to see her be- fore he left, and hoped to heaj- from her own liiw what those words had meant. He repeated them over aguin. He was certain that ho could have faith in her. but surely they must have an interview. If she had been mistaken in thinking that she iiared for him. well-ehe muut give him up. He mu»t 'leave now in half an hour. Would she not come down and see him and tell him frankly what it was all about? When the maid brought the letter to her mistress's room. Judith, who had not slept aU night, had Just fallen asleep. The maid laid the letter by her bedside, and went away. When she awoke, it â- was tlje sound of carriage wheels on the avenue, which awakened her, the carri:ige wheels which bore away George Danvers. He had wait- ed till the last moment, but she bad giv- en no sign. In her ailence. it seemed to him. lav her arrswer. And when she awoke. Judith knew that it .was a *»te. a dismal Kismet she dared not w'thstajid. that :t would be no good now to call him back. Hhe did not write. 8he did not explain. She oould not. (To be continued.) "FROM THE RANKS." OIBoors Who Slarted Their Mililary Career an Privates. That it is quit* po.ssible for a privaite to rise, st*'P by step, tlirough the British .\rtiv)", to the rank of General, we are reminded by tihe news of tlie recent deattli of Sir Luke O'CVmnor, who was one of the earliest rankers to do this. He enlisted in one of the Welsh regiments when a young iiian. went through the Crimean War, wa.s given a commission for signal bra- i very and ability, made a great name for himself wlien he was . awarded the newly-created V.C for wiving the colors in action, and then rose, until at length his career was crowned by his being made a , full general and a knight. [ lUit Luke O'Connor wa.s ntit ai-tu- ally the first of these noted rankers wlio rose to be oelebrate<i^enerals. I Probably Sir John Elley could i claim that distinction. John Klley entered the .\rmy by enlisting as a private in the Horse Guards, and he so won the confi- dence and conunendati<in of his .su- I>eriors that he wa« given a com- misision. In the end h© became a "Sir," and a full general.

Limited, Montreal on Elley as one of his cleverest and moist reliable men. Indeed, at Waterloo few of our leaders were so much trusted and consulted by Wellingiton as was General ElLey. Then we might mention Joaepii Brortte, who came into the Army as a little drumimer-boy. He fougbt so well in battle, and displayed such early evidence of precocity am a soldi'er and leader, that he waa pvein a lieutenancy, roa« quickly to higher posts, *nd ended his military career by be<'omi«g a lieute-aaint- generaJ. Joseph Brome founded quite a fajnily of great scldiers, for sinoe his dieath both his son and his grandson have become generals. In our own days we had Gen-erali Hect<ir Macdonald, whose tragio career is too well known to ^e«d revision. Enough to mention hier« that Macdonald entered a High- land regiment, showed himself eo brave and able in battle that, when offered the choice of a V.C. or a commission, he choee the latter, and then rose quickly to tih* heights 'he attsiined during the South African campaign. .\ls<.) we must not forget Williiam McBean, perhaps the greatest rival '"Micky" O'Leary has had amongsit Soldiers of past days as the "on«- j man attacker" of an army. At I Lucknow McBean, with his own hand, killed eleven of the mutineers j in single combat. After receiving a I commission in due course he was promoted till he at last found him- I self General W.
