f ■ AI L & I< - - jte I ■ CHAPTER Y. After that visit to Monk's Hall a visit •Commemorated by a champagne luncheon in the great oak-paneled dining room ami a present of magnificent hot-house flowers from Sir Ralph to me at parting, we seemed to develop into rapid intimacy with our neighbors. Hardly a day passed without uncle or nephew coming over to see us sometimes both. As tor Yorke Ferrers, wo had taken him into our joint fellow ship without further demur, and he was ; as much at home in the school room as i ourselves. He and Alfy Imeamo great friends: they were constantly together walked, talked, rode, raced, confided in and fell out with 1 each other in regular boyish fashion, and for the space of those Christmas holidays wen well-nigh inseparable. Rut all things must come to an end, nnd the holidays achieved that result in dmcourse. The boys went back to seh-Hd. including Toddy, ami Alfred entered upon , his first term at college. ami Darby and I were left without even the governess to keep ns company, tor my father consid •ered 1 no longer needed one. ami 1 would never hear of any one but myself tench ing the child. “May I come over now ami then to see you and enliven your solitude?” Yorke Ferrers had asked the day the boy- were . leaving. “If I am lonely,’ I exclaimed, with sud den indignation, as I looked nt the four bright, rosy, boyish faces. a little grave and downcast as the moment of parting approached, “if 1 am lonely von won’t . make any difference it is the boys 1 want. You could never be the same.” “I don’t doubt that," he said, with some of that old huffiness of air ami v< ice that I had always the knack of rousing. “1 never meant to enter into rivalry with them. 1 only thought you might be dull.” “I am sure to be that.” I answt red de jectedly. “But 1 don't suppose you would enliven me very much. On the whole. I would rather have your uncle. He is more sympathetic.” He flushed one of his thunderous looks at me. “I will send him. then." he said, icily; and stalked off to where Alfy stood, by tfhe head of the impatient chestnut. I took no notice. i was used to his ahort temper, and I knew his anger never lasted very long. The three boys were bidding farewell to Darby. Toddy was in tears, and Ted and Hughie almost in the same condition. The child herself was Tery pale, and largo drops rolled down her cheeks as she clung to her fa vorite Toddy. Then there came a moment of throttling as the strong, warm young arms were round my neck, and Toddy cried out to Darby: “Be sure you don’t forget me. ducksy,” and the child uttered her usual formula: “No. 1 won’t.” and with a final flow' of tears and hood bys they were off. I went back into the hall with Darby

in my arms. I had forgotten all about Yorke Ferrers. Ue does not come near me for a week. During that week his uncle drops in twice to share the school room tea. and we indulge in desultory talk and friendly confidences, and I begin to think him even kinder, cleverer and more companionable than I did at first. But I miss Yorke. I miss him greatly. His fun. his little tits of pique, his gay sallies, even our quarrels and disagree- ! cnents —I miss them all. I ask Sir Ralph after him at last, ami he says he is always out —mostly with the Crofts. The information gives me a little pang, but 1 «ay nothing. One afternoon I start out for a solitary ■walk. Darby has a cold, and I leave her asleep in my own room under the care of the nurse. I have not been out of the house for several days, and certainly this one is not particularly inviting. The sky is steel-colored and dim: a cold wind blows over the heath, ami I turn aside and enter the long stretch of wood that borders it in the hope of escaping its bois- I terous attentions. There, in the heart of the wood, loiter- i ing. I see the well-known figure of Yorke Ferrers. For a moment a little pleasurable thrill of gladness runs through my veins, and involuntarily I quicken my steps. He hears me. I suppose, for he suddenly turns round, and then stops, and , awaits mv approach. “Well," I say. in.l hold out my hand, “you are a stranger'. I I Irave been wm dering whether you had not started tor , the Antipodes. or or elsewhere.” “1 lioald have thought you v. r< ton veil employed to miss me,” he answers I loft ily.

"Well employ, d’." I echo. "I have onlv I ‘ had my usual employments. You knov. ; “Every day!” Then I break off into ! sudden ii ghter. "How absurdly touchy i y.m are! Why you will never get on in I lift ii y u take offeuie at every imagined | trifle All the same,” I add demurely, "I am very much obliged to you for so faithfully delivering my message to vour un cle.” “He acted upon your invitation very readily, I must say.” “Why did you not come, too?" I ask, glancing at the moody face. "It was so likely!" he says with scorn. “I, at least, don't give my company where it is not wanted.” “And so you took offense again!” I say. ■“Well, at least you have been amusing yourself very successfully, from all accounts. If your uncle took afternoon tea with me, you took yours with Miss Nettie Croft.” ‘’Did he tell you that?” he queries eagerly. “I suppose,’ with a. little harsh laugh, “he wanted to make you jealous.” “JesZou^l” I repeat angrily. "YY r hat ab-

; surd nonw 11^0 you me talking! YVhy should 1 be .jealous?” "Ah. why?" he echoes ironically. "It I is only fools like myself w ho suffer from that complaint. Ami. alter all. I sup pos> you never gave a thought to me all • this week." "I gave a great many,” 1 answer gravely "jour urn Ie and I talked about you I very often." ■'l hank von tor nothing,” he says an | grily. "1 don't care to be discussed in । t hat maimer.” "Why are you so bitter against Sir Ralph?" 1 ask. "It is so foolish of you to set yourself against him as you do, and I am sure he feels it." "I don't care if hi* does," answers Yorke doggedly. "I hate him. and 1 always shall. It is imt only that he lias stepped between me and fortune; but now lie chooses to thrust himself between me and my my friends. It is very hard." "1 Ido not think you should say that." 1 falter. "He has not thrust us away from you. The boys are just the same." "Ilie boys!” he bursts out wmthfully. "Who was talking about rhe boys? I ; I was not even thinking of them, I me mt ■ you." "Me!” I cry, amazed, then stsgul there i in absolute silence, looking at bun as he looks at me. A sudden light flashes across me something that is both pain nnd I pleasure thrills my heart nnd sets my | pulses wildly beating; but, for the life of me. I can speak no word, and my <y< s | fall beneath his own as I see something I leap into their gaze that never vet has ’ kindled with so hot and tierce an earm st l Hess । "Acs. .loan you!” he answers, .-.m g a little nearer. "If yon have not s.m 1 cared for you, you must him- l». .. very blind inde. d. W hat >!'• bt ght m. t ptitr >:<lr wry liny ? What < is..

I know he only thinks of me as a little girl-a child to talk to, and amuse himself with; and it will be hard il I must show myselt rude and ungracious to him, for he has been very kind, and be is so fond of Darby. Yorke, once' long ago, you promised to tell me the story of that other Yorke I* errors. You never have yet. Tell it me now.” “I wish you hadn’t asked me,” ho said gloomily, "to-night of all nights. I told you he was a bad man—vindictive, passionate. headstrong. He loved the girl who was to be his elder brother’s wife. There had been had blood between them always, and this made matters worse. The girl seemed to love him best, but he was not the eldest son, and her people wore mercenary, and forced her to accept i tbo other. They had been married some

two or three years when A'orke FcrrerJ turned up again tn Monk's Hall, Hpparl cntly quite friendly and with the old pussimi forgotten. One day there was terrible grief at the Hall.

Cnseasomibly < old weather has created / tile graves! fears among the fruit growers f in this section ~f the country. Through * Illinois and Indiana and the southern part of Wisconsin the cold has been especially severe, and the reports are anything but reassuring. The records of the weather department show that the temperature was 11 degrees below the average for April. C. E. Linney, superintendent of the weather and crop service report, sent out a bulletin which takes a cheerful look at the situation. He is inclined to the belief that rhe fruit buds in Illinois are not far enough advanced to be hurt by the cold weather. Ihe heaviest damage was inflicted in the southern section of Indiana, where the fruit was farthest advanced, and in the great fruit belt 'which includes the counties along the Ohio river and extends north for fifty miles. It is estimated that nearly all the fruit in this section is killed, but time may prove that this estimate is incorrect. The people of Indianapolis have been acting of late as if they' believe that the people have some rights which a street railway corporation is bound to respect. This is rank heresy. Izieiit. Gov.
