Beaton is Mrs Winington’s brother, and being poor reeoives to answer an advertisment that promises to get him arich wife. Lady biary is a widow whom Beaton admires. Mrs Winingtor and Maxwell were lovers before the former married. Beatoo, with company with Maitland is introduced to the heiress—Edith Vivian—by the latter’s guardian. In the meantime Maitland has fallen in love with Edith, which angers Mrs. Winnington, who determines that Edith sha'l not marry him and lies to ber about him. Edith has begun to like Maitlandand is mortified to hear Mre. W inningtey’s false description of him.

But the self-commune told upon her, and when Beaton as usual after lIunch- eon, followed her to the drawing-room, while Mrs. Winington prepared to go out, he asked with an air of the deep- tenderest solicitude what had d's- turbed or her, as she looked pale and sad. question broucht with it a sense of allowed herself to and awake, its peace- brightly long past, } color sne distressed His gulit at having | doubt the kindness and affection of the man who looked so lovingly into her | eyes, and spoke in tones so anx‘ous'y linquiring.

Hie would neither be uncivil nor admit his claim. “Well, my good sir, you cannot expect Miss Vivian to accept you as a }ela- tive without something in the way of credentials. Very possibly what you say is correct, but——”’ “Ah, I understand.

Beaton's for Edith’s “If you are a cousin,” she exclaimed, “I shall be very glad, for I don’t seem to have any one belonging to me, and you father’s a little like a picture of my brother George that hangs in the parlcr at home.” are “Good! shake hands on it. You look like an honest, straightforward girl. I suspect you're in luck, sir,” turning to Beaton, after shaking Edith’s hand vigorously, “May I ask to what rights you al- lude?’ asked the former, wiih edd gravity. “The right to all my uncle John's real estate,” returned the prompt- ly. “I intend, in justice to myself, t/ prove who I am, and to what I am entiled; but I sha’n’t be greedy if you f yj f + Y stranger, are riendly. Now, as I feel strange not to say lost, in this monstro biz place, and you seem to have a roomy l ee ppose I may well take up my quarters with you?’ K’di.h looked white and half frighten- ed. Beaton was too confounded to re- ply, so his young fiancee exclaimed: “This is not my house, nor Mr, Bea- n’s, It belongs to his sister, Mrs. \Winington, with whom I am staying.

Tf don’t think you are too glad to sce me.” “You must admit your appearance cn the scene is a little’ startling,” said Beaton, with praiseworthy § self-pesses- sion. “Have you seen Mr. Dargan, the more active of the two guardians?” “Not yet. The other old boy talked of him, and seemed too frightened to say yea or nay without him.” “Suppose we go and call on Dargan together,” said Beaton, pleasantly. “I don’t want to make myself ridiculous by over-suspicion, but I am sure you are too much a man of the world to expect that I should take you simply on your own word?” “Right ygu. are, by George,’ ALL HEADACHES from whatever cause cured in halfanhourby _ HOFFMAN'S HEADACHE POW DERS 10 cents and 25 cents at all druggists, : cried the ee MAO Sey rey REN ema: trade. ion. stranger, Starting up. “Come” diong, then; I'll see you again, my pale little cousin.” Another strong grasp of the hand, and he strode out of the room as abruptly as he had come in. Beaton paused a moment to say, “This threatens to be a serious affair, Edith. You had better keep out of that Heot- tentot’s way. I'll tell Somers to scnd Jean to you as soon as she comes in: let her know everything,” and he ayent hurriedly out of the room. Edith stood quite still where he left her, with a curious dazed feeling, as if She had been suddenly roused from a dream. and was not yet quite awake. She had-a very vague idea of whit it all meant. If this stranger was really a cousin She would be glad. His face was kind- ly in spite of his keen, almost fierce eyes, and he might be a friend. Her clearest impression was that Mr. Beaton —she had not yet arrived at calling him Leslie, even in her thoughts—was very gravely and certainly not pleasurably affected by his sudden apeparance, Why should he be? What were the rights he talked about? and what had she to do with them? Mrs. Winington no doubt could answer, and until she came jn it was useless to conjecture. So Edith turned to leave the room and sequestrate herseif in her own. As _ She did so her eyes fell on the wedding ring which Beaton had been in the aet of trying on when her self-called eccusin broke in pon them.
