CHAPTER l\'. There were two nephews living at S‘rrayne Hall, both reading for the Bar. After the manner of nephews ln fiction one was good and one was bad; and by the same rule Uncle Sir George favored the bad one. Truth is just as strange as fiction. It is as well to label these two boys. Reggie Graync, dark, pasâ€" Sionate, hasty. and yet as good- hearted a. fellow as the country of Sussex contained. Ashley Grayne. fair. snioothâ€"tongued, and coolâ€"tem- pered, a man who could smile and be a. villain still. Pettish Sir George favored the hypocritical, suave Ashley, and fav- ored his attentions of his stepâ€" daughter, Vere. But Ashley found no favor in Vere's sight. She was a simple girl, but she saw through his characterâ€"saw that the money her mother would leave her war the basis of his affection for her. Money often is the foundation-stone a man greets his temple of love on; that is why the altar fire so frequently expires. Handsome, wilful Reggie, her old playmateâ€"for the last few years of their girl and boyhood had been spent togetherâ€"she loved with all the intensity of her heart and soul. But he was not aware of it. Vere: wore not her heart upon her sleeve; she did not give her love unsought. And yet Reggie did love herâ€"loved her dearly. It had been but boy‘ and girl affection, and it would asâ€" suredly have developed but for one reasonâ€"Miss Evelyn Westcar stepped upon the scene. And Reggie lost his headâ€"not his heartâ€"over her at once. And it affected two persons keenly and differentlyâ€"Vere grieved. and Ashley rejoiced. It was Ashley's business now to make Vere jealous. The green-eyed monster was likely to prove of valâ€" uable assistance to him. He rejoic- ed exceedingly over the advent of Miss Westcar; it too. He knew her, had met her somewhere; but where he could not fix. Asa matter of fact, he had been full of champagne at'the time. It is an excellent wine, but it clouds the brain, if overâ€"drunk. and youth is apt to drink less wisely than too well. Evelyn recognised him too. were introduced at, dinner on the first day of her instalment at Grayne Hall, and when she saw his look of curious, halfâ€"doubtful recognition, her heart sank. But she braved it out. She remembered the circumâ€" stances under which she had met him; it seemed possible that he had forgotten, or he would have been more, very much more, surprised at seeing her there. The buoyancy of her.heart brought it to the surface again. After dinner Ashley sought side, and said '- “Miss Evelyn, I seem to remember meeting you before." "Indeed l" in a tone of surprise. "Where ?” _ “Ah, that is what is puzzling me. Aad I do not remember your name even. Where is it possible I could have met you ?” “If you are a friend of Lady Nor- wood’s, it may have been there. I was her companion for some yearsâ€"" - "Lady Norwood? Do not know herâ€"never met her in my life." “Then,” accompanied by a gentle smile, "I think you must be taken. Th 03' her I led a very quiet life with Lady Norwood, who was an invalid, 5 oil tho and has been ordered a long tour abroad. It is not likely that I can have met you anywhere." E3.

Girls do not stand that sort of tliingâ€"up-toâ€"date girlsâ€"and small blame to them. A woman who al- lows her lover to career all over the country without her is false to the most prominent trait in her sex's character. To that fact is proba- bly due the invention of the tandem. Yes, Dick Causton’s heart was unâ€" fractured: it was all his very own. Not that. he was without a touch of that romance in his nature which spices and makes life worth the living; he simply had not encounter- ed Miss Right,â€"tliat probably acâ€" counted for his not going wrong. In stress of weather he had shel- tered in roadside inns, and been glad to pick up a. iiovelette to pass the time. At most country inns the landladics' daughters, or the bar- maids, affect the penny novelettcâ€" the hero thereof is so very different from the kind of man she usually sees the other side of the bar. Strong contrasts are ever attractive to women: look at their millinery ! From a perusal of those story- papers, Dick Causton gathered that a cyclist could not go threeâ€"quarters of a mile without compassng an adâ€" venture with a lady. According to dangerous game, but she indulged in it. She had no more idea of wastâ€" ving herself on Reggie than she. had of doing so with the butler; she was playing for higher game. True, her linclination tended Reggiewards. He sometimes , sent a little tremor through her, and caused her pulses to beat the faster. But it ended there. She applied the brake. Senâ€" 'timent had a poor hand in the game she was playing. She had in her mind the wedding of Sir George Gray‘neâ€"nothing more nor less. The fact that he had a wife living was a detail. That was la more question of timeâ€"Or remov- al. She knew him to be wealthyâ€" very wealthy, despite the retired :manner in which the family lived. She would make him her ‘illealld and Ithen, herself, his widowâ€"his wealthi,r iwidow. There were but few oh- stacles in the way; she feared not ‘her ability to remove them. With a name to which she had a 'right, and a right to a position in society by virtue of it, then she would enjoy herself. Meanwhile, she dallied with Reggie, and sent that‘l :inflam‘mable young gentleman into ;the feverish regions one moment and ithe arctic ones the next. It amused her: it did not amuse Vere. Gradually her position in the .house became more that of a. friend lthan a dependent. She played her cards skilfully, and won every time.

The fathâ€" er, for what reason is not known, embraced the monastic calling and left Nicholas, then a more laid, to shift for himself.

But existence on alms, however attracâ€" tive to am En-gls'iunian’s instinct for sport, gives little room for that leisure and peace of mind without which learning cannot attain flower and fruition; so it is not surprising says a writer in the Illustrated Lon- don News, to find Nicholas seeking hospitable shelter and settled Life affmded by a religious house. When the wan‘doring so‘holar wearied of the s'tigzet or the highway, he bald but to knock at the wicket of a monastery, and, likelier than not, tie brethren would find him em- ployment and shelter. The step was not irrevocable, for before takâ€" ing the vows he would have to serve his novitiate; an‘d if during that time he longed for the roail again, well, then, he went with a bleS-ing, his wallet filled mm, a. coin, pefliacs in his satchel.
