I should have liked to array myself in gorgeous apparel,’’—-here she smiles ‘‘but I hadn’t a penny to do it with. I was thinking of Mrs. Dyson- Moore.’’ ‘“‘Tt was very good of you,’’ says Ker. His manner conveys to her the belief that he thinks it very good of her to waste a thought upon her at all, but this does not satisfy Hilary. Why didn’t he say it? ‘*Guvod of me?’’ 2? says she; a sudden de | sire to make him speak has driven her to than | this direct question. “Yes. Why she ld you? no doubt take thac task Others will out of your hands. Many others.’’ He laughs, and a vision of Mrs. Dysan- Moore’s very short skirt comes once | again before Hilary’s eyes.

She gives him a little return srunile, however, as she says it, which betrays her knowledge of his meaning, and at onee he feels that ‘‘peace with henor’’ has, for the moment at all events, been restored. ‘You foolish! Never,’’ Says he. *“*“Not even—when—I—”’ ‘‘Not even then. One can forgive you fer keeping up the masquerade under our —peculiar cireumstances.”’ He regards her steadily, as if wishing her to understand that there js meaning in his words—a desire to approach the delicate subject of the will. Hilary colors faintly, and trifles with the corner of her apron. ‘I suppose you wanted to study say she, a little daringly. ‘Ah! That was what was so unfair. I know it now.

CHAPTER XIII. ‘‘Good heavens, Hilary! Here’s Miss Kinsella!’’ says Diana, in the hurried, subdued voice we all know, when de- struction is descending upon us. She pounces upon her work—a frock for the youngest darling—and makes a rapid flight from the window where she has been sitting, into the middle of the room. It is more a movement of impulse than anything else. ‘**That means two hours!’’ says Hilksry tragically, stopping short in her arrange- ment of the flowers in the vases. ‘*And he is coming at one. You teld ' him the hour. ‘*He knows it. I say. Di,’’ with a sud- den gleam of hope, ‘‘let us say we ure out.’’ ‘*Too late. I saw as she came up the avenue.”’ Hilary falls back in her chair. At this moment a loud rat-a-tat-tat heard at the hall-door. ‘‘[ suppose there is no. safe and sure way of murdering any one?’’ says Hilary gloomily. her, and she saw me, is Here the door is thrown open, and Miss Kinsella enters, with all the signs of storm about her, followed by Ciifford, who had met her just outside. ‘‘IT came in thus early, me Mlear Mrs. Clifford,’’ cries the old maid, ‘‘because I felt I must speak to ye!”’ Hilary’s heart stands still fer a mo- ment. Is it anything about her? About thet luncheon—or Ker? ‘*About what, Miss Diana anxiously. ‘“*Why, about Pether!’’ Hilary’s heart gives a great rebound. She comes quickly forward. She takes old Miss Kinsella’s hand, and positively bezms upon her, to Diana’s intense ustonishment. ‘Tell us!’’ “Wea, - Kinsella?’ asks cries Hilary. ether—ye know me nephew, Pether Kinsella—ye saw him last night? eh! ye did now, didn’t ye?’’ ‘Diana, | hope you will be able te sar yes to that,’’ says Clifford solemnly. “This, I must inform you, is a most imn- portant case.’’ ‘Yes, yes, of course we saw him, Hilary enthusiastically.
