He felt that a row with Fred Casey would do him a'l too good in the world, and was furious that Pan ehould be stranded In this Mrs. Gofley stood iu tbs kitchen of Bush Hotel" and fried egds, and r. Golfe, sitting at a table near the Window, peeled potatoes. Then Mrs. Goffer pulled a clothes-hors-e nearer the fire; on It was 1 neat tweed skirt, a jacket of the Mama material, gaiters, a sailor hat, and a pair of walking shoes, a small slza iad wall tnade. "Are the gent's thugs dry?" squired r.

Mr. Goffey slowly put the potatoes nto a saucepan, and his wife began Meeting cups and saucers on a tray. Then he don't know about the young lady bein here?" Mr. Goffeys curiosity was overmastering his discretion. No, h? dont;, nor she don't know he's hers either; sn I'll tell her when X lay on the table." With this, Mrs. Coffey took up the tray and disappeared Into the next room, the boards creaking as sns went t Hope you're not feelin as if you'd got a chill, mins?" she said, addressing a girl who aat In a chair by tha bra, hnd who was wearing tha aforementioned silk She looked up from her book and No, I am feeling perfectly fmlled. well, thanlu, and I'm looking torward to my aupper." She wondered, with home alight alarm. If Mrs. Goffey meant to share the meal with her, for two cups were being placed on the tattle, two platea, two knlvee, two forka. There's a gentleman stayin' here," held Mrs. Goffey, suavely, an' Itll be nice company for you; ha seems a very genteel person I should prefer aupper by myself," aald the girl coldly.

He pushed his chair back from the table, slowly filled his pipe every action was so familiar, she knew so well how ho crooked his little flngar as ha pushed the tobacco down Into the bowl, how he would light It with a coal from tha fire and atand with hla eyes halt closed enjoying the first tew whiffs. Then suddenly ha was gone. Then Mrs. Goffey came In to clear tha table, and presently she was alone by tha fire, her hands tightly clasped on her knees, tears In her blue eyes. Three months ago! How long It seemed, end how miserable she had been since' How her attempts s hospital nurcing had failed. How ner attempts lo become an Intellectual woman and a power had fallen through! How aimless she had been, and how entirely certain that she was iu the wrong, that her petulant temper was to blame, and that aba still loved Tom Geoffrey with all her heart! She was just 21, alone In the world, possessing some mosey and entire freedom, and at present elf loathed and hated that freedom. A tear dropped on the white apron, and she gave a little shudder of disgust that aba should be caught looking such a fright Sha rapped on tha floor for Mrs. Goffey. "Bring me my own things, please," she said, If they are dry; I am afraid of spoiling this handsome dress of yours. So a few minutes later she was In ner own things again, and seated herself on the floor In front of the fire. At nine o'clock Mrs. Goffey brought her In a glass of milk and a slice of cake. Pen sipped some of the milk and surreptitiously poured the rest out of the window, the cake she hid under a glass shade. Half an hour later sha heard tha horsea hoofs again, and then Tom appeared. Fred Is driving over for you now," he said. He looked approvingly at her change of costume. She was so pretty,' and her figure waa so dainty. Pen, dear, waa it a mistake? Was. there any doubt in your mind? can things be as they were before? I love you as much as ever I did I ?hlnk was to have more; and Pen, been our wedding day." He spoke quickly, eagerly, there waa a queer uncertain tone In hla voice, and ne stood awkwardly before her. "I don't know. I'm miserable, and Im lonely. She turned from him and leant her face against the mantelpiece, hut both her tone and attitude were yielding. Those two lonely hours had done more for him than the most eloquent pleading. Well, who can look after you better than I?" He came close to her. his heart was beating fast; the defiant Pen was his own again. But, dear, there must be no mistakes, no misunderstanding this time. If you take me now, It Is tor good and all, and we will be iriarrled on our wedding day. She smiled, but he could not see her face. "Pray don't consult ms about any arrangements you are making." Pen. don't Jest. It Is for good and all this time. Girl, I can't see you turn to me. He laid a hand on her arm, and then with a quick Impulsive movement she swung round, turning her face up to his.

He's a real gent, I'm sure; wears a ring on his finger an kita of other joolery." The girl shuddered, though, had she known It, the jewelry, with the exception of the ring, was purely a fiction of Mrs. Coffey's. Tha girl frowned. It la really very annoying. I wish you could make home other arrangement la this the only sitting room In tha house?" "Yes, It Is, replied Mrs. uoffey, , shortly, and flounced out, appearing In W few moments with the bacun and eggs, tho tea, and some hot buttered toast Then the girl heard her go Along the narrow passage, and knocking at a door at the farther end.
