Manning, though it was the atmos- phere in which his aunt had been born and reared. She had never known any other. She was not to be blamed for that; but the fact that she could stand in the grimy little study at the Vicarage and eye without compassion or understanding the few~ cheap books or the bare shelves, showed a singular lack of appreciation of the facts of life.

did not pretend to like the inonlous way of life, but when ‘ne had suggested that they might disperse with Miles, his aunt immedi- ately inquired what was to become of the man, who was a trained and very excellent indoor servant, but would be of no use outside.

It had silenced Geoffrey for a "race, and his hope now was that she .nuld take Miles to Normanton with her.

He thoroughly enjoyed his dinner, which bore the cachet of Mardocks cooking.

He had lunched inadequately at a junction refreshment-room, and had forgotten all about tca. He only shook his head, however, when she suggested that a glass of wine would be good for him alter his long journey,

"I don't take it, Aunt Cecilia. I lost one of my best friends through its abuse, saw the ruin of one of the finest intellects and noblest hearts in existence. After that, I'm its sworn enemy for the rest of my life."

"Oh, but, dear, your argument is illogical! Why should ‘"721 deny yourself the legitimate use of stimul- ant because another has abused it? “I tywught everybody knew,» he Again, we have scriptural authority answered, his tune vlbrnung, the for its use," she added, as she poised rrdhmce sun upon his ma, “We

These were the anomalies which haunted Mannlngs pillow, and made him restless and restive too, when she sought to draw the cords about his life.

“Now do tell me where you have been, dear," she said as she nestled in her low chair and put her dainty satin-slippered feet, with the great jet buckles, on the velvet footstool. "I exect you have quite a lot of in- teresting things to tell me."

"I have indeed, Aunt Cecilia!" he said, as he rolled a cigarette between his fingers. "1 wonder what you will say when I tell you I have found the greatest thing in the world."

Mrs. Manning was a. strong woman who prided herself on her self- control. Nevertheless she trembled visibly as she sat up suddenly, like some bird ruthlessly disturbed in a velvet nest.

"You have found the greatest thing in the world, Geoffrey? What can that be?"

The English summer is a very brief joy, though we have had a great deal of sunshine this year, and the finest roses I have ever known." She flitted lightly from one topic to another, cheered by his presence, caring more and more for him, hop- ing greatly that influences would work graciously in his life to rub off the corners, and make him fit for the place he was well equipped to radorn. That he had mental and in- tellectual gifts she had already dis- covered, it was only his outlook that was limited _or rather warped by the narrowness of his experience.

That was her deduction, whereas the exact opposite was near the truth. The wideness of his experi- ence, the cosmopolitan nature of his interests had given him a breadth of vision unknown in Mardocks and most unwelcome there. For wher- ever there is a true breadth of vision, there is the feverish desire to ex- pend, to push out the borders, to remove ancient landmarks, which are so often hindrances to progress. Geoffrey Manning was a son of the new age, ready to meet the call rc- sounding through the world.

‘Hie wood fire was blazing in the beautiful old room, the velvet curtains drawn, everything chill, un- lovely, menacing, shut out. Priceless were the treasures lining the shelves, which reached tier upon tier to the ceiling, and there was a quant gall- ery running all round which had the effect of reducing the noble pro- portions ol’ the room and giving it a more compact homely atmosphere.

'I‘he silver on the broad desk, massive inkstand and candlcsticks, and all the dainty appurtenances of the library table, shone and, sparkled in the genial glow. Books, maga- zines, papers, everything-for feeding the mind, now that the body was fed, lay to their hands. The luxury was perhaps a little oppressive to

found love." . "Love!" she echoed stupidly. “But where and what kind of love?" “The same kind which gave happi- ncss to you and Uncle Greville, Aunt Cecilia. I am going to be married." She fell back again still trembling, and all the colour had receded from her iacc. She was so poignantly, so profoundly moved, so full Qf fear and apprehension, real fear, that she could not speak.

"You know her, Aunt Cecilia, and what she has been to Mardocks." Mrs. Manning so far forgot herself as to gasp. What could the man be talking about? Who had done great things for Mardocks, saving herself? That the name of Mary Freeland never once occurred even in the shadowy realm of her imagination, proved the mun t. usness of the thing Geoffrey was trying to tell her.

"Her name?" she said in a queer strained voice, the timber of which had grown rather thin and very hard. “Who can she be? Tell me quickly, Geoffrey! I have had so much cruel suspense in my life lately, but "that was inevitable. Suspense now is unnecessary. Who is the woman?"

"Mary Freeland." He rose as he spoke the clear name, but his aunt had covered her face with her hands. It was well she didso perhaps, he- cause it was ravaged by two of the worst passions that make life hid- eous. She knew now why she had in her heart hated the little school- mistress, even when her praises were in every mouth. It was fear, jeal- ousy, some dark prevision of what was to come! There was a. moment's tense and rather awful silence. Manning, having but a very shadowy idea of the tempest he had awakened (through Mary had tried to prepare him), stood rather awkwardly wait- ing for his aunt to recover herself and hesitating whether to launch forth on all the advantages which were to accrue from the coming alliance, or whether to keep silence until she broke it. He was saved the necessity by "herslow uprising from her chair. She was shaking in every limb; she had to put out one long, slender, bcgcmmed hand to steady herself by the tablo with the coffee tray on it beside her. She had asked Miles to leave it because the Squire liked coffee and was never contented with the one regulation cup poured out for him before the equipage vanished.

Sunday Observer in connection with Shelton’s withdrawal from the pop- ular play at the recent. Christmas ‘revival here because of his advanced age. The Observer speaks o! his "charmingly benign performance as the Nonconformist Pirate.“

George Shelton lives- at Wands- worth Common in happy retirement. l-lc is 79 years of age, and while he felt unequal to performing in "Peter Pan” at the last revival he talks as ‘ii’ he might possibly appear in his old favorite role of “Smee“ once again. G. W. Bishop, of the Sunday Observer, thus describes an interview with Mr. Shelton.

| "I nskcd him if he would talk to me about Peter Pan.’ ‘In a way its [a sort of a compliment,‘ he replied,

‘my eusc at once. He said it was a great wrench to give up Smce and he missed the rehearsals. ‘But I am 79 next month, I find that my memory is not so good as it was, and last year I felt unhappy because there was a new Starkey. Perhaps if I have a rest this season I shall be able_ to take up the part next Christmas.

" ‘Peter Pan’ was first produced in 1904 and except for two revivals, Mr. Shelton has appeared in all the per- formances in London, as well as many of the tours. I asked him if he had ever seen the play himself.

" ‘Except when the children in the company acted it I have never seen "Peter Pan“ right through, but from the first I always loved my own part. I remember at the first rehearsal the author came over to the actor who was ‘playing Starkey and myself and said. "I want you to individualize your two parts." My father was born in Ireland’ and I said at once, "I'll make an Irishman of mine.” Barrie agreed so that's how Smee came to be Iris ."' '

Presents andcongratulatory ines- sages arrived from his faithful ud- mirers, while the famous Great War Premier talked with visitors about the prize apples he grows. and about the past. present and future of Brit- inn and world politics.

The former Premiers famous mane of hair is snowy white, but he seems to show little of the wear and tear of political life. Ho is ready for the op- ening of Parliament on 'I‘ucsclay and the critical week to follow which may make political history, with LIoyd George as usual in the midst of the fracas.

In a pensive mood he talked to- day of wnr days.

"I tried my bcst." he said, “to keep the spirit of the people buoyant and full of fight and above all full of hope. Had Germany possessed a man to whom the public could have look- ed during the darkest moments to- ward the end of the war she could ‘have made far better terms of peace.
