CHAPTER III, (continued.)
"Thanks. No, I won't have tea. I
have had some already two cups,
and I must -not stay more than two
minutes. I have some news for you,"
she announced. "Agnes has come up1
with me I simply refused to leave
Yelverton without her. And she only
wanted an excuse to come." Camilla
laughed as she sank into a chair.
"You have not an idea what a scene
of excitement there was at my house
when we arrived. My caildreu sim
ply adore Agnes, and she adores
them. And oh. Mr. Haverford, I am
charged with all sorts of messages
to you! Betty and Baby are enchant
ed with your lockets and intend wear
ing them always, but., please, you
must give them a picture of yourself
to put inside that is what they say."
There was a little pause.
Camilla let her sables .slip from
her shoulders on to her arms. She had
come there with a distinct purpose,
a purpose which was bound about
with the iron of most pressing fear
and necessity.
True to her nature, however, she
was not going to speak frankly.
"I can't," she said to herself "I
absolutely can't!"
Haverford wfs standing by the
fire.
The scent of her violets, the bewil
dering entrancement of her presence,
made him dreamy.
How changed the room was!
The house,was full of treasures
pictures,' tapestries, bronzes, inani
mate-t.rfings which had. cost thousands
—but everything was as nothing com
pared with this living, breathing,
beautiful woman.
How far more beautiful than all the
rest she was!
"I shall be photographed on pur
pose," he roused himself to say and
then pulled himself together with a
great effort. "You want me?" he quer
ied. "I am only too delighted to do
any little thing for you, Mrs. Lancing.
Pray let me know what I can do!"
Camilla, got up and moved about a
little aimlessly. She gave a sigh.
"Oh! Well I had better warn you
it's rather a big favor, really
quite an enormous one,' she said.
A a I a 1 1
feel nervous, ho-ribly nervous'" In
deed. her voice broke a little.

J.
"Don't be afraid," said Haverford.
She caught her breath, and stead
led her nerves. There was such kind
ness in his voice it gave her encour
agement.
"Well, I have come to you because
a dear friend of mine is in great
trouble, Mr. Haverford," she said.
"When I got home this afternoon I
found a letter waiting for me. You
would not know if I were to tell you
her name. She lives in the country,
and oh! she has such a hard life. We
we are old. old friends, and I sup
pose that is why she has turned to

with a sharp sigh "it is so hateful to

He stood quietly by the fireplace
looking at her he was barely con

fragrance that floated about her

so close, made a curious effect ui on

next.

"When I read that letter, Mr. Hav
erford, I thought immediately of you.
Haverford had sat down to his
writing table.
"In any matter of this kind." he
said, "I beg you will use me in every
way that may seem good to yon Mrs.
Lancing. I gather that your friend
needs immediate help pray do not let
her be troubled an hour longer than
is possible."
He signed a blank cheque and slip
per it into an envelope.
As he turned and held this out. to
her, Camilla Lancing gave a little
shiver. She looked at him without
taking the envelope.
"Oh!" she murmured, "I what

"Why should there be any 'but?'
he asked, not very steadily "by this
time I hope you know that I hold it one
of my greatest pleasures, as it is cer
tainly an honor, to serve you when
ever you will permit me to do so.
Will you remember this always?"
(gamilla bit her lip again, and then
put out her hand-
Haverford bent over it, held it for
a moment in a firm grip. Then as
though yielding to some overwhelm
ing temptation, stooped and kissed it.
Her hand was kissed at least once or
twice a day on the average, but Ru
pert Haverford had never before per
mitted himself this old-fashioned and
gracious sign of homage. It was with
a re of so in a
far deeper than mere courtesy to a
very delightful and very pretty wom
an." She divined this instantly, and
her heart began to beat nervously. As
she released her hand she pulled her
sables about her and prepared to go.
She was eager now to be away from
him. The expression of his face rou
bled her. She had chafed almost an
grily at his silence, his self-repres
sion, yet now that she knew he would
speaks she dreaded to hear his words.
A thousand jarring feelings thrilled
her.
Though there had been many mo
ments recently when he had appealed
to her physically, when, indeed, she
bad frankly admired him, in this mo
ment she felt almost as though she
hated him.
It was a sensation which she could
not define, which she would have
found practically impossible to ex
plain to another person, but it was
very real, very oppressive.
She crushed the envelope he had
given her in her hand, and hid it in
her big muff then she began sneak
ing gaily.
"What are you doing tonight?" she
asked. "You are engaged? "Oh, I am
so sorry! I thought that perhaps you
would have taken Agnes and me to
dinner somewhere. We have no en
gagement but, never mind, we can
do that another night."
"Will you dine with me tomorrow?"
he asked. He, too. was nervous. He
had not her gift of slipping into a
seeming indifference. Her easy, every

He left the fireplace and went near

The dream dropped away from him.

"You were quite right to come to me.
I am only too glad to do anything for
anyone in trouble, but more especially
I am glad to do anything for any one
who is dear to you."
Camilla bit her lip, and moved a
little away from him, approaching the
fire in her turn.
"How good you are." she said. The
words were wrung from her involun
tarily, and there were tears in her
eyes and tears in her voice. Indeed,
he moved sharply at this moment.

somewhere and then go on to a music
hall!"
As she got out of the cab she
dropped the envelope Haverford had
given her and, as she picked it up
hurriedly, her train of thought was
changed swiftly, a sudden sence of
delicious Independence thrilled her.
The man whom she feared, and the
man who had shown her such chival
rous generosity, and the man whom
she had married and lost, passed
from her thoughts. She felt as if she
were In sunshine. The cheque was
blank! She had not expected that
there were no limits to her intentions.

and lightly laid a hand as in benedic

paused a moment before Betty's small

CHAPTER IV.
Though he had but short notice.
Haverford managed to get a few in
teresting men for dinner the follow
ing evening.
The greater part of the large house
was not. open, but enough was seen
to impress and delight Mrs. Bren
ton.
She admired everything.
"I am full of envy," she said to him.
"So am I," Said Camilla. "I want
everything I see here, your servants
especially. How do you bachelor peo
ple always manage to get such good
servants? That man of yours, Harper,
is a perfect treasure. He is a sort of
Monte Cristo— nothing seems difficult
or impossible to him. I believe if I
were to call him now and say to him,
'Harper, will you please give me the
earth?' he would answer in that quiet
way of his, 'I have just put it. in your
carriage, madam.'
She was all in white tonight, and
looked languid and pensive. Rupert
Haverford asked her once if she were
tired she nodded her head.
"Just a little but that is my own
fault. I have been skating at Prince's
^11 the afternoon." she explained. "I
wondered if you would come there by
any chance. You must promise to go
with me one day. It is really rather
fun. and it gives one some exercise."
She was sitting in the place of hon
or. Mrs. Brenton and she were the
only ladies.
"Don't send us away." said Camilla,
when coffee was brought in "please
smoke, all of you. Agnes doesn't mind
—do you, Agnes? and I love it."
Ae the liqueurs were being handed
to him, Haverford's man addressed
him confidentially.
