The same year that Lady Jane Mag

" You think it is all right, mother, do

by Biich unnecessary cire-j aud lidi'u
Ioub precautions thnt now, when bs was
s nian. with full liberty given, he wart no
more able to make gool use of it than a
grown-up baby would l-e.
Full of a "wild schem* which had
l?tely come to him, that he would run
off" to some far-dist-tnt country, he was
mapping out tho details as he walked
slong, bo occupied thnt he forgot how
far he had come, until with a Midden
atari he pulled himself tip. Ile was pass?
ing the Albert Hall, clo.s. to that pleasant
row of houM.-8 in one of which lived Lady
Jane.
The knowledge that he could walk
boldly by and flings look of deliacc* nt
the papered windows nnd clused shut
tars?as he hal done the day before
lent a thrill of satisfaction through the
youngman. He drew himstlf up and
tn rn wi bis head to?when, oh agony !
exactly a** he was opposite to it the door
opened and a voice called out " Glen

"Freddy! ls it yon?" Lord Glen
eore managed to nay, seeing he was ad?
dressed hy a weasel faced young gentle
msn between sixteen and seventeen.
"Why, how came you here? Ih -s-s jour
mother? I.ady Jane with you V"
Freddy's eyes were apparent! v so edu?
cated thst in order to ni\o full i xpres

other, and regarding Lord Glencore
through thi* single ojitie. he fetid, " You
bet if she was, 1 shouldn't tie, here."
<ileneor*'s heart seemed restored to ila
nstivepoaitir.il. "I'm v-iy glad to *??<?

little tin I reddy had extended to him ;
"it b .juite a surprise to ml."
" Here, 1 aay." saul tbe astute Freddy
significantly, " what a up'' How is it

??Well, I couidn't 1 have-tbstis?

Glt-nron* laughed cheerily. "All

I'm her uncle, and?l say, you'll lie her

Lord tlleneore blushed furiously, and
JFrefdv, taking silence for consent,
[added with B snort of supreme couUmi-pt:
j " It'a a jolly gi>otl thing for her I ain't

yea, rather ! "
Not desirous of pursuing thia topio
further, l.or.l (ilencore put a question.

"Why not? he's a real good ona lo

Incited by curiosity. Lord Olencore
obeyed Freddy's invitation.
" We keep all the front well shut."
said Fn ddy, as lie marshalled the way to
a den at tho far end of the narrow hall.
Passing the stairs lie gave vent to a shrill
whiatle answered by a similar one which
have Leen taken as its echo.

agonized "Ok, lord Oleoorel" and

" Ire l.ly, who wai enjoying her con

" Don't mind l.iiii ; he's square enough,

" Certainly I am" ; and then, turning

Then* waa un instant's pan-e, an i then

twenty minutes latex tha three, Lord
Olencore behind, freddy driving, and
Pe try Ly bia aide, wer j on the road tu ,
RichniO-d.
III.
Tt might he tedious to retail r.ll the
folly that fell from the Ups uf thia trio
a* ni:'c- Freddy's guidance they pur?
sued their way. Their united years did
not make np the sr-bt r aga of sixty, a;, f
tiny had tho spirits of schoolboys ont
foi a holidsy. Lord Glencore bad nev. r
f* lt so much at his ease before ; none of i
tuo*>e who in aocietj knee bim would
bare recognized bim hs tbe mine shy in?
dividual. The boura flew like minutes
lt was ?'> o'clock winn they thought it li ;
and then to bare looked at tbe time
wonld not bare occurred to anybody,
only that Peggy, heaving a bremen lons
sign, had supposed it would soon be timo
to think of returning hume.
'i Le horse that wuss., good at going,
we luv. omitted to state, had at a cert tin
small hostelry, "(ioat und Compass" by
Lame, shown siens of reb. Hum. Stir
? mt door he would not, and Lord
re, to cut short the difficulty, hud
proposed tbat they should leave the
brute tl ere t<' get a feed while they took
a ft roll in tho park.
Retuning from this walk they passed
the " .-tar ui-A t iart????.
" I any, a dinner in there wouldn't be
half bad fun," said Freddy.
"Oh, 1 don't think so," replied Glen?
core.
" Why, 'nave you ever been there? "
" Yea, 1 dined there twice tin* season
with Lady Jane and your (dater."
And a chill ran through the young >
mun aa he recalled the drcurinesa of;
BOl* mn ordeals.
"Oh!" raid Freddy, drawing in Lia:
back ns if about to fiuccuino, while
Peggy burst out laughing.
A bright inspiration cams suddenly to
Olencore.
" Why shouldn't we stop here now?"
he said, "bave dinner, and go home
afb r ? "
Freddy and Pegqry came to a Budden
standstill, absolutely dumb with the bril?
liancy of the proposition.
" l hat'a what we'll do," continued tho
enthusiastic t.lenctire ; and be made bs if
to turn iu at tho door, but Peggy stopped
him.
" I don't think we can," and she
locked at Freddy significantly.
" No," cam? the answer, a trifle crest?
fallen. "I expect they wouldn t stand
tick in there," was added lay way of ex?
planation.
"That isn't of any consequence to
you," exclaimed Olencore. "It's sa
my guests I invite you. Think how
olten your mother bsa entertained me."
"Ob, i'm not proud," laughed tho
delighted Freddy. " Isn't this firbt
rat., Pig ? Come on."
Hut Peggy still heaitatc 1.
"I don't know whether I ought?
whether itu quite right witb you," and,
though her face was turned to both, her
eves were fixed on * ilencore.
" And I your uncle that is," exclaimed
Freddy, " and ho going to be. Knut Up
do."
And, considering this speech to lie
conclusive, Freddy cut short further dii
cussion by at once turning into the hotel.
IV.
Well, if any dinner ever was a success,
!hat one was. What they had, or how
ihe courses came, not one of them knew, | i
Jut, to quote Freddy, everything was j
tl, and plenty of fizz with it. Un- I l
loubtedlr the fizz net all their tongues i i
-uuuiug faster than before. Gradually j i
>n Freddy it began to hara a slightly ]
composing effect, ?o thu*, tho dog-cart
having been sent for and brought to tbe
! door, he magnanimously insi-tcd th it
f' toing home he would ait behind and
rave, the ribbons to t>? handled hy Olcn
! core.
The clock st nick '.t before they were
fairly off, and then, Peggy exclaiming at
the lateness of the hour, (Ilencore said :
" Put it won't matter much, will it ? "
"No." said Peugy a trifle bitterly.
" Harris knows I'll look after Freddy,
and thero'H no oue to bother al-out what
becomes of nie."
" You baie neither father nor mother,
have you ?"
(ilencore put the question gently, and,
not waiting for her answer, went on to
tell lier that lu* too bad lest bis pnp'!itB
when a child. and wns, like ber, lonely,
with no one to cure for bim.
" Yes." aha Bald, "but you're a man
with lota of money, and I'm poor and
dependent ; and then it's horrid to be a
girl. Ever since 1 csu remember i've
heard nothing el?o hut all I owe to every?
body, as if it was my fault that I owe
anything to them. I enn(t help having
been born. Hero I am, and until 1 die
here I must stay. Not (Icitcmlent,
though. I've only waited to be taught
something, I've hr. 1 to owe that much
to grandmamma."
lord Gleacore remRined silent, and
thinking that probably her troubles were
of no interest to bim, Peggy changed
the subject Directing hia attention to
Freddy, row silently deeping, ahe man*
aged to prop the lad up into a more com?
fortable position, and assented to I.ord
Glencore's remark tbat he did Roi seam
like tbe n t ol tbe family.
1 hen t-i Mice f. ,1 on them, and for a
time not a nerd was spoken. Suddenly,
os if from out of what abo was thinking,
Poggy said abruptly:
" Aro you very much in love with
Adda ?'. "
"Il I'm not in love witb her at all."
" Bnt you're going to marry ber?"
" W bo s.iyR I Hm ''."
"Why, evrybody : snd grandmamma,
I know, means you to."
"I sic, nnd that makes you think it
quit" certain ?"
Peggy lan "had contemptuously. "It
wouldnl make it certain with me," abe
said, "but Dieu se III dill'lTeiit j willi'
alie chooses they do. Oh, I haven't
patienoa to think of it," and tho great
brown (yes Av- turned ou Ol

" W!:Ht do yen tl ink ?" said Olencore
in a whisper ; " hud we 1" tier tell bim."
"Yea," said Poggy; "npto now my
only friend baa been Freddy."
So Freddy, thoroughly wide awake
now, waa di-..rel to lean forward, aad
beta en them the two conveyed whut it
was their int* nt.ou to do.
"I lay. what a ehouae for Adla'"
roared Freddy delightedly; "but here,

"Lowe?" sud Peggy. "Ob my!
Why, I ni vcr thought ol that ! "

the air of a Mentor : "but I aid though.

" hut, Freddy, think of grandmamma ;

"Stuff nml rubbish.'" and Freddy
snapped Ins fingers; "what, I ahould

' You don't think anything could have

Viith a brave spirit worthy of a better

linell one IihiI never dreamed ol before.
?till her heart began to have misgivings, ,
md bar courage to sink a little lower,
??hen all was revived by n paragraph in ' j

" Adda ! " Lady Jane signalled to her
laughter to follow ber, aud in their ouu
oom ahe pointed ont the notice.
"Mother ! oh, I am bo gliul. I kept

" \A bat a droll creature though ! " ox

" i ahan't do tbat; it'a bo unlucky. I

" My dear, I bara written."
"And h*d no answer ?'*
"Nota line. Colonel (lossett called,
