What conceited non he sense!" scoffs Ruby. "I suppose thought some slight acknowledgment was due to you for playing with the children occasionally. If you want to make yourself absurd and conspicuous, of course you will return it." On the next morning the Champley household take their departure for the moor. Ruby chances to he near the deserted lodge of the Wilderness when the wagonette—containing the two brothers, the children and the nurse— drives by. She makes a dainty picture, stand ing in the shade of the chestnut tree in her pale-liltie morning waving her handkerchief in token of adieu. The gentlemen raise their hats and smile, the children shout, the nurse gives a defiant snort, and the : next moment they are out of sight. "Two months of freedom!" thinks Robert Champley to himself.

"Well, what about it? Do you know of any one I wanting a cottage?" i "I thought it might suit us," replies to 1 Buby, a little crestfallen, : "It certainly might if we wanted to j go there," asserts Mrs. Wilden with a good-tempered laugh; "but, as you know, Ruby, I have a great dislike to leaving home."

"What do you say, Vi?" she asks. fering so frightfully from neuralgia all 1 am sure your nerves want Why not take this cottage a I turning to her niece. "Well, I really don't think I care ! two straws either way," answers Mise Flower lazily. "If somebody will pack 1 my things I am willing to go, but I couldn't undertake to i*ack them my I self." "Now that just shows how much you need change," cries Ruby eagerly. "Your whole system wants stirring up before we had been a week on the as j nicwr you would be as brisk bee." as a "Should I?" says Violet, with a dubious laugh. "I very much doubt it; but I am willing to try the experi I ment." Truth to tell, if Violet Flower con suited her own feelings, she would far ; rather remain In her present comfort | able quarters; but Ruby having con tided to her a scheme for visiting the moor if possible, site has promised i not to oppose the plan. There is a fair amount of resistance ! on Mrs. Wilden's part, but her ener : gi tic daughter overrules each and every obstacle us it is presented to her. j Her eloquence is so great in advocat • ing a change that one would wonder, to hear her talk, how they have *tan ! aged to exist so many summers I through at the Wilderness without ac ! quiring all the maladies to which flesh ! is heir. Shell is not prosent when the dis I eussion takes place, but her indigna ' tion when the plan is unfolded to her 1 is unbounded. ! "You don't mean to say. Ruby, that I you are actually thinking of following 1 the Champleys to the moor?" she says, I in a voice of such infinite scorn that Ruby flushes uneasily. "What nonsense you talk, Shell!'' she returns angrily. "You seem to have the Oharnpleyg on the brain. We are going to the moor because mamma I ie in need of bracing air. Is there any thing so very extraordinary in that?" "There is something extraordinary in your having selected the same vil lage," answers Shell decidedly, "if mamma wants bracing air why not take her to the North of Devon?" "Because rooms there would be frightfully expensive; whereas the cot tage on the moor is a mere trifle," re sponds Ruby loftily. This argument is unanswei able, for no one knows better than Shell that their income Is not equal to any great additional strain. Feeling that any resistance she can offer will be futile, Shell shrugs her shoulders and leaves the room. Nothing remains to her now hut to strike out a separate line of action for herself. She is fully de termined about one thing—wild horsts shall not drag her to Oakford. When everything is fully arranged and packing is at its height, Shell startles the household. "It will be very awkard having only three bed-rooms," Vi remarks in a grumbling tone, for the more she con templates six weeks spent away from civilization the lese she likes the pros pect. "Of course the servants must have one; and then we must all cram into the two others." "Not at all, dear," Ruby hastens to explain. "Mamma and Shell ran have the big room, and you and I a little one each; as for Mary, she can do quite well with a chair-bedstead in the kitchen," "How delightful for Mary!" laughs Shell. strong liking crickets," "Now, please. Shell, don't go setting Mary against the arrangement," says Ruby imploringly. "Mamma, do ask her not?" "Don't be alarmed," answers Shell, with a curious little laugh. "I have not the slightest Intention of interfer ing with any of the arrangements at the cottage. They don't concern me in the least, since I slia'n't be there." "Not be there- what do you mean? Of course you will bo there!" declares Ruby, looking very much astonished. "Not unless mamma insists upon it; and I am sure she won't," laughs "As you know, I have been set against the idea from the commence ment, so I mean to remain here— 'monarch of all I survey'—and have a right down jolly time of it all to myself." "What rubbish!" cries Ruby Impa tiently. "Susan is going to be put on board-wages; and she is to give the house a thorough cleaning during our absence." "Well, I can be put on board-wages too; and I certainly won't prevent Susan from cleaning the house. I sha?l be out all (lay long," responds Shell. "Mamma, please make her go. It would seem so odd her not going," urges Ruby. But Mrs. Wilden is too easy-going to oppose actively any of her children. Truth to tell, she rather envies Shell her coming solitude, and even ex presses it as her opinion that It is a pity that dreadful cottage was ever taken. This rebellion on her indulgent mother's part is quickly talked down by Ruby, whose constant fear from the beginning has been that her scheme will ultimately fall through, .-the knows that her mother would rather stay at home; she is fully aware that Violet is groaning In spirit over what she is pleased to term her "com ing exile;" so she thinks it wiser on the whole to leave Shell to her own devices, lest enlarging on the theme should stir up revolt in other more important quarters. Then there comes a triumphant morning when, backed up by a vast amount of unnecessary luggage, Ruby carries off her three victims—for Mary "an truthfully be reckoned in that cate gory—to enjoy the bracing air and scant accommodation of Oakmoor. Shell, as she stands on the doorstep and waves them a smiling adieu, looks the Impersonation of mischievous coh tentment. "lie sure to change the library books the moment yon get them, and don't delay a single post in sending them off," entreats Violet earnestly. "And any groceries we can't get there you must send by Parcels Post," adds Ruby. "How the Oakmoor postman will bless you!" laughs Shell as she nods assent; and then, springing on to the step of the cab, she imprints a dozen hasty kisses on her mother's troubled cheek. Why does she heave a sigh, not withstanding the brightness morning, as she turns to re-enter the house? "It is to he hoped she has a for cockroaches and Shell. and of the CHAPTER X. A week has passed. Shell hae grown tired of her self-imposed solitude; the big, bare, echoing rooms have be come hateful to her. Even the grounds seem changed and unfamiliar. The certainty that there is no chance of interruption to her lonely muslngs, at first so delightful, now seems to fill her usually cheerful spirit with a sense of depression. Until robbed of all com panionship she never guessed what a sociable creature she was. Happy would she be if even the most inane and common-place caller would come to break the monotony of her endless days! But it Is understood In the neighborhood that the family at the Wilderness are away; so from morn till night Shell wanders about, her company. It is aimlessly Ith only the gray eat to bear evening. Shell is even more desolate than her wont. Susan has asked permission to go into Mudford to make a few purchases, and already she ha« been absent over three hours. It is now seven o'clock, and the empty house seems to Shell's excited imagi nation like a haunted place. She fancies »he hears hurrying through the passages. A door slams, and her heart stands still with fear. Shell however ia not one to give way to morbid feel ings, and, rousing herself from her book, she starts on a tour of inspec tion through the house, shutting all windows and securely barring all doors on her way; then, with a re newed sense of security, she returns to the drawing-room and determines ... . hile away the time with rn^ic I« °" e o' th °f, e 3en ^ lve ! never play so well as when alone j cannot pour her whole heart into music when she has listeners. with the house to herself, she becomes lost to her surroundings, the room echoes to such heart ng strains as it rarely falls to to w Si: who —she her Now soon and stirr one's lot to hear.

"Is that you, Susan?" she asks, but without unfastening the heavy chain. There comes no answer save a vig orous ring at the bell. "Who is there?" demands Shell, this time in a firmer tone and one more likely to penetrate the thick oak panels. "A messenger from Mrs. Wilden," answers a voice which is somehow familiar to Shell's ears. th trembling hands she shoots the heavy bolts, and, taking down ■bain, opens the door.

The beverage stimulated tho good woman's story-telling pow ers, till, like Dr. Sam Johnson,'she lost count of the cups, and the boy, whese hopes were waning, also fan cied danger to his mother.
