"Is that you. Ida?" '•Qli. thero is Clara. I must go in. Mr. Denver, (iood night!"

There wero a few whispered words, a laugh from Ida and a "(.-rood night. Miss Walker" out of the darkness. Clara took her sister's hand, and they passed together through the long, folding window. The doctor had none into his study, and the dining room was empty. A single small red lamp upon the sideboard was reflected tenfold by the plate about it ami the mahogany beneath it. though its single wick cast but a feeble light into the large, dimly shadowed room. Ida danced off to the big central lamp, lmt Clara put her hand upon her arm. "I rather like this quiet light," said she. "Why should we not have achat?" She sat in the doctor's large red plush chair, and her sister cuddled down upon the footstool at her feet, glancing up at her elder with a smile upon her lips and a mischievous gleam in her eyes. There was a shade of anxiety in Clara's face, which cleared away as she gazed into her sister's frank blue eyes. "Iiave you anything to toll me, dear?" she asked.

But tlicro came no confession from Ida, only the same mischievous smile and amused gleam in her deep blue eyes. "That gray foulard dress''—she began. "Oh, you little tease! Come now, I will ask you what you have just asked me. Do you like Harold Denver?" "Oh, he's a li i_,!" "Ida!" "Well, joiia rl me. That's what I think of him. And now, you dear old imjuisitiv ', yon will get nothing more out of mo, so you must just wait and not bo too curious. I'm going off to see what papa is doing." She sprang to her f"'t, threw her arms round her sister's neck, gave her a filial squeeze and was gone. A chorus from "Olivette," sung in her clear contralto, grew fainter and fainter until it ended in the slam of a distant door.

But Clara Walker still sat in the dim I lit room with her chin upon her hands and her dreamy eyes looking out into tlio gathering gloom. It was the duty

of her, a maiden, to play the part of a mother—to guide another in paths which her own steps had not yet trodden. Since I her mother died not a thought had been given to herself all was for her father I and her sister.

In her own eyes she was herself very 5 plain, and she knew that her manner was often ungracious when she would most wish to be gracious. She saw lier face as the glass reflected it, but she did not see the changing play of expression which gave it its charm—the infinito pity, the sympathy, the sweet womanliness which drew toward her all who tV*ere in doubt and in trouble, even as poor, slow moving Charles Westmacott had been drawn to her that night. She was herself, she thought, outside the pale of love. But it was very different with Ida, merry, little, quick witted, bright faced Ida. She was born for love.

It was her inheritance. But she was young and innocent. She must not be allowed to venture toq far without help in those dangerous waters.

"Have you anything to tell me, dear?" Ida gave a little pout and shrug to lier shoulders. "The solicitor general then opened the case for the prosecution,"said she. "You are going to cross examine me, Clara, so don't deny it. I do wish you would have that gray satin foulard of yours done up. With a little trimming and a new white vest it would look as good as new, and it is really very dowdy." "You were quite late upon the lawn." said the inexorable Clara. "Yes I was, rather. So wero you. Have you anything to tell me?" She broke away into her merry, musical laugh. "I was chatting with Mr. Westmacott." "And I was chatting with Mr. Denver. By the way, Clara, now tell me truly, what do you think of Mr. Denver? Do you like him? Honestly now!" "I like him very much indeed. I think that he is one of the most gentlemanly, modest, manly young men that I havo ever known. So now, dear, have you nothing to tell me?" Clara smoothed ilown her sister's golden hair with a motherly gesture and stooped her face to catch the expected confidence. She could wish nothing better than that Ida should be the wife of Harold Denver, and from :ho words which she had overheard as liey left the lawn that evening she could not doubt that there was some understanding between them.

nor ana iiaioid Denver. In her heart of hearts Clara, like every irood woman, was a matchmaker, and already she had chosen Denver of all men as the one to whom she could most safely confide Ida. He had talked to her more than once on the seriwus ionic.- of life, on his aspirations. on what a man could do to leave the world belt- or his presence. She! knew that he was a man of a noble natnre, high minded and earnest. And yet she did not like this secrecy, this disinciinarion upon the part of one so frank and honest as Ida to tell her what was passing. She would wait, and if she got the opportunity next day she would lead Harold Denver himself on to this topic, It was possible that she might learn from him what her sister had refused to tell her.

CHAPTER V. A NAVAL CO.VQIT.ST.

It was the habit of the doctor and the admiral to accompany each other upon a morning ramble between breakfast and lunch. The dwellers in those quiet tree lined roads were accustomed to see the two figures—the long, thin, austere seaman and the short, bustling, tweed clad physician—pass and repass with such regularity that a stopped clock liar, been reset by them. The admiral took two steps to his companion's three, but the younger man wa:-. the quicker, and both were equal to a good -!A miles an hour.

It was a lovely summer day which followed the events which have been described. The sky was of the deepest blue, with a few white fleecy clouds drifting lazily across it, and the air was filled with the low drone of insects or with a sudden sharper note as bee or blue fly shot past with its quivering long drawn hum, like an insect tuning fork. As the friends topped each rise which leads up to the Crystal palace they could see the dun clouds of London stretching along the northern sky Hue,

low lying haze. The admiral was in high spirits, for the morning post had brought good news of his son. "It is wonderful. Walker," he was saying. "positively wonderful, the way that boy of mine has gone ahead during the last three years. We heard from Pearson today. Pearson is the senior part-

ner, you know, and my boy the junior— Pearson & Denver the firm. Cunning old dog is Pearson, as cute and as greedy as a Rio shark. Yet he goes off for a fortnight's leave and puts my boy in full charge, with all that immense business in his hands, and a free hand to do what I he likes with it. How's that for confidence, and he onty three years upon 'change?" "Any one would confide in him. His I face is a surety," said the doctor, "Go on, Walker." The admiral dug his elbow at him. "You know my weak side. Still it's truth all the same. I've been blessed with a good wife and a good son, and maybe I relish tliem the more for having been cut off from them so long. I have much to be thankful for.'" "And so have I. The best two girls that ever stepped. There's Clara, who has learned as much medicine as would give her the L. S. A., simply in order that she may sympathize with me in my work. But, hullo, what is this coming along?" "All drawing and the wind astern!" cried the admiral. "Fourteen knots if it's one. Why, by George, it is that woman!" I A rolling cloud of yellow dust had streamed round the curve of the road, and from the heart of it had emerged a high tandem tricycle flying along at a breakneck pace. In front sat Mrs. Westmacott clad in a heather tweed pea jacket, a skirt which just passed her knees and a pair of thick gaiters of the same material. She had a great bundle of red papers under her arm, while Charles, who sat behind her clad in Norfolk jacket and knickerbockers, bore a similar role protruding from either pocket,

Even as they watched, the pair eased up, the lady sprang off, impaled one of her bills upon the garden railing of an empty house, and then jumping on to her seat again was about to hurry onward when her nephew

called

with spire or dome breaking through the but never upon a more clear cut, handsome face, nor a more erect, supple and womanly figure. He ceased to glower as he gazed upon her, and the frown was smoothed away from his rugged brow. "May 1 come in?" said she, framing herself in the open window, with a background of greensward and blue sky. "1 feel like an invader deep in an enemy's country." "It is a very welcome invasion, ma'am," said he, clearing his throat and pulling at his collai*. "Try this garden chair! What is there that I can do for you? Shall I ring and let Mrs. Denver know that you are here?" "Pray do not trouble, admiral. I only looked in with reference to our little chat this morning. I wish that you would give us your powerful support at our coming meeting for the improvement of the condition of woman." "No, ma'am. I can't do that." Ho pursed up his lips and shook his grizzled head. "And why not?" "Against my principles, ma'am." "But why?" "Because woman has her duties, and man has his. I may be old fashioned, but that is my view. Why, what is the world coming to? I was saying to Dr.

her attention to the I

two gentlemen upon the footpath. "Oh, ?iow, really I didn't notico you," said she, taking a few turns of the treadlo and steering the machine across to them. "Is it not a beautiful morning?" "Lovely," answered the doctor. "You seem to be very busy." "I am very busy." She pointed to the colored paper which still fluttered from the railing. "We have been pushing our propaganda, you see. Charles and I have been at it since 7 o'clock. It is about our meeting. I wish it to beagreat success. See!" She smoothed out one of the bills, and the doctor read liis own name in great black letters across tlio bottom. "We don't forget our chairman, you see. Everybody is coining. Those two dear little old maids opposite, the Williamses, held out some time, but I havo their promise now. Admiral, I am sure that you wish us well."

"But, hullo, ichat is tills coming along?" "Hum! I wish you no harm, ma'am." "You will come on the platform?" "I'll be —. No. I don't think I can do that." "To our meeting, then?" "No, ma'am. I don't go out after dinner." "Oh, yes, you will come. I will call in if I may and chat it over with you when you come home. We have not breakfasted yet. Goodby!" There was a whir of wheels, and the yellow cloud rolfed away down the road again. By some legerdemain the admiral found that he was clutching in his right hand one of the obnoxious bills. He crumpled it up and threw it into the roadway. "I'll be hanged if I go, Walker," said he as he resumed his walk. "I've never been hustled into doing a thing yet, whether by woman or man." "I'm not a betting man,"answered the doctor, "but I rather think that the odds are in favor of your going."

The admiral had hardly got home and had just seated himself in his dining room when the attack upon him was renewed. He was slowly and lovingly unfolding The Times preparatory to the long read which led up to luncheon, and had even got so far as to fasten his golden pince-nez on to his thin, high bridged nose, when he heard a scrunching of gravel, and looking over the top of his paper saw Mrs. Westmacott coming up the garden walk. She was still dressefl in the singular costume which offended the sailor's old fashioned notions of propriety, but he could not denjr as he looked at her that she was a very fine woman. In many climes he had looked upon women of all shades and aires,

Walker only last night that we shall have a woman wanting to command the Channel fleet next." 7, "That is one of the few professions which cannot be improved," said Mrs. Westmacott, with her sweetest smile. "Poor woman must still look to man for protection." "I don't like those new fangled ideas, nia'am. I tell you honestly that I don't. I like discipline, and I think every one is the better for it. Women have got a great deal which they had not in tho days of our fathers. They havo universities all for themselves, I am told, and there are women doctors, I hear. Surely they should rest contented. What more can they want?" "You are a sailorj'luid sailors

ways chivalrous. If you could see how things really, are you would change your opinion. What are tlio poor things to do? There are so many of them and so few things to which they can turn tlioiv hands. Governesses? But there are hardly ar.y situations. Music and drawing? Then is not one in fifty who has any special talent in that direction. Medicine? It is still surrounded with difficulties for women, and it takes many years and a small fortune to qualify. Nursing? It is hard work ill paid, and none but tho strongest can stand it. What would you havo them do then, tdmiral? Sit down and starve?" "Tut, tut! It is not so bad as that." "The pressure is terrible. Advertise for a lady companion at 10 shillings a week, which is less than a cook's wage, and see how many answers you get. There is no hope, no outlook, for these struggling thousands. Life is a (lull, sordid struggle, leading down to a cheerless old age. Yet when we try to bring some little ray of hope, some chance, however distant, of something better wo are told by chivalrous gentlemen that it is against their principles to help."

The admiral winced, but shook his head in dissent. [TO IS 10
