CHAPTER L
When th. Util, c»r«d wood*) clock on
the mtntlepirce struck 7, Mr. Dobeon
turned pale, lie had been walking restlessly
up and down tlie saloon for the past hali-
h ur, rushing to the windows at eyerj
tound in the quiet road outside, and be
soming evtry moment more anxious than
he dared to admit, even to himself.

For the twentieth time he rang the bell
and questioned the white-capped Swim
bonne. But Francine could only repeat
the story she had already t>ld. Her young
mUtna had cone out after luncheon with
| tho young men; but her father scarcely
knew whether to be indignant oralarmed
at the possibility which then first pre
sented itself to his mind. For, after all,

likely to entertain the tame projects, and
some day one of them might meet with
batter luck.
They got away to Switzerland at latt,
leaving a dreadful blank behind them in
the ltuaholme villa, and, as aoonasthe
channel was fairly between them and
I the three cousins at Manchester, Mr.i
But, ns lie stepped oat of tho v
Mr. Dobson saw, and this time
irrepressible catching of tho breath, that
tho terraco was as sileut and ns deserted
as tho houve. There lay tho tranquil
lako -before him, a solitary latoen-sail
gleaming white and motionless against
the blue waters, above which swallows
were drowsily circling: a book that
Amoret had been reading lay on tho
bench, with a rose l*tween its leaves,
ami a pretty little bar ket overflowing
with colored crewels.
‘Amoret!** cried Sir. Dobson sharply,
oppressed by tho stillness of the place.
The pain ho had been trying to suppress
all day was now evident in his voice.
It was only an accident, of course, that
tho child was not there to meet him.
8I10 was dressing, no doubt, and had for
gotten the hour; but she would como
down now to stop liia scolding with a
shower of kisses.
Only, if she had known what ho knew,
ho thought, she would not havokept him
waiting a moment. The little timo that
remained for them to be together was so
precious, he could not afford to waste
one hour of it. And, if Amoret had
known—
“Amoret !” I10 called again tremulous
ly. “Amoret, where are you, mychild?
1 have come back.**
But there was no answer but the rus
tle of the trelh«ed roses overhead and
tho Lapping of tho water against the boat
house steps
Mr. Dobson sighed and went back into
tho deserted salon. Of course the child
was not to blame. What m >re natural
than that she should go and take a walk
during his absence. Only lie wished that
she bad come back in time to meet him.
The sdon looked, bethought drearily,
as it would look on Lho day of of her
wedding when she had driven away with valuable ringt, that ha
her husband, aud nothing remained of or*s. sparkled on Miss
her but the sweet memories of her good-
ne»s and prettinevs and wilful ways,
with. ]4<rhft| s, a glove on tho lloor, or a
loose leaf of music to remind him of
tno bright presence that was gone lrom
his home never to return.
Tho father drew n long breath. Was
that all life meant then? How short it
was! How hard people worked to at
tain their deeire, only to loso it again.
