••Good heavens, no. sir!” cried Roland,
flinging down his brushes and looking
Mr. Dobson so straight in the eyes that
the old man sighed and smiled with a
sense of relief. , ,
“I hardly thought It possible, he de
clared heartily, “but you will admit that
what you have said U rather startling.
Come, now, Roland, speak out—speak
out as if you really were my boy. You
have got into some young man s scrape—
is not that it? And I can help you, per
haps, with advice or money?”
••It is noihing of that sort,” said Ro
land. “There are worse scrapes than
getting into debt, sir. You can get out
of debt sgsis, you know, but if—if you
fall in love it is not ao easy to—”
Mr. Dobson looked at him, half puz-

••Is that ail?” ho exclaimed. *»>hy,

Well, my darling”—3Jr. Dobson wa*
getting alarmed—"Askam knows bis
own affairs best, you know. After all,
he is not bound to tell us bis reason for
going to Englgnd.”
“No. but"—with her eyes fixed upon
her father’s f"*ce—“I think ho is bound
to give us some reasonable excuse for
not finishing your portrait'.”
•*Of course lie will fini*h it someday,
darling. I see"—hurriedly—“that their

Kursaal, Shall 1 take tickets? Would
you like to go?”
“No. thank you, pspa,'! answered
Amoret, hardly hearing the question.
She was still watching her father's guilty
face. “Some day,” aho repeated slowly
—••when, papa?"
“Ob, after you are married, probablv!
Aa soon as his business is cum pit ted lie
will return, of course, and then —
**Ob, after my marriage! Does Roland
think then that the date has been fixed?
What put that into his head?!’
Put luckily for Mr. Dobson, before he
could answer the embarrassing question,
Tom came into the room, the luncheon
bell rang, and Amoret waa compelled
for the present to put off her interrog
ation. All through luncheon she was
even gayer than usual. She had appa
rently forgotten all about Roland’s ap
proaching depat ture.
“Ob, Tom, said the girl to her cousin,
as he was going off to the telegraph office
to send a message to Manchester, in re
ply to some letter received during
luncheon, “would you mind changing
tho books for me at the library—and do
you think you could match some ailks
for me at Bonvoisins? I will give you
th* patterns. It is a shame to bother
you, but since you are going into the
town, and it is so hot this afternoon—”
Sir. Churchill declared that he would
execute the commissions with punctual
ity and dispatch; and, as toon as he had
set off, Mias Amoret went back to the
terrace, where she bad comfortably es
tablished her father in hia easy chair,
and took up their interrupted conversa
tion exactly where it had been broken
nflr.
•‘Papa," she said quietly, drawing
little stool to his side and sitting down
with her arms on his knees, "now that

“My darling child,” began the father
guiltily, “perhaps 1 was mistaken when
I rnado use of those words. Koiaud may
havo saidvOno of these days,’ or *As
soon aa poulble.' Ol courge, the por
trait will bo finished, and in tho mean
while it ia of no use bothering your little
head about it.”
“But it ia of use. papa. And I am
lure Roland would stay and finish it if 1
asked him. 1 shall send Frandne to the
hotel and bog him to come over; or I
will writo him a note—’’
“On no account!” interposed Mr. Dob
aon. “That U— I moan—it would be of
no use. I dare say he ha* packed his
portmanteau by this time.”
“Then he can unpack it napo. I be
lieve”—suddenly, and holding up htr
finger—“that you have been saying
gomeihlng unkin l to him. poor fellow;
and he has not been well latelv.”
“1? Nothing of the kind!” declared
her fath*v. “Why hhould 1 U> unl..n.l
to him? lt is I who have always taken
his part againat you; but I shall begin to
wish that wo haa never set eyes on him
if I am to bo badgered about him in this
way!”
“Papa, you would rather I had been
robbed, perhaps killed, by that dreadful
man in the Gorge do Chanderon? No,
it.), th*.*t, ’ putting her arms art hr I him,
“of course 1 don t mean that; 1 know
that you would not. I know that you
are very grateful to Mr. Askam for
what he did. Only’’—in a wheedling
tone—“why won’t you tell rao the truth?
Do you think tnat 1 can’t see that there
is something? Papa, is it about money?”
“No my dear—no!”
“And lie has not been bad, or-or differ
ent from what wo have believed?“
“No, no! He lias behaved like a gen
tleman—I can nut deny that.”
“Of course not, papa: he could not do
anything else. Well, then, if it is not
about money or about Clinton, and if
there is nothing wrong, why have you
driven the potw boy out of the house?”
“Amoret! I drive him out of the house!
You never were more mistaken in your
life; it is quite the other way.”
“Quite the other way! Do you mean
that he is tired of us—so tired that he
will not even stop to finish your {tor-
trait T*
I did not say that,” declared Mr.
Dobson, more and more worried as the
girl reletl essly pursued her points:
“but. all the same, it is he who wishes to
go. I had nothing to do with his decision,
except that I approved of it.”
“You approved of it! Ob, papa”—re-

“Tho truth is, then, that the poor lad

Amoret sank down at her father's side,
looking up at him with eager eyes.
“But,’’ she, said quickly, “he told mo
only tho other day that he had never
been in love.”
He did not know it himself, it ap
pears; ho declares that it came upon him
unawares.” ,
“But I don't understand, papa, the
girl went on. “He lias *een no ono hero
since he tcld me so; ho has spent all Ins

bho paused. Her father did not speak :
and suddenly an exquisite blush began
to spread over Ler psle face.

of her ears were crimson. She did not
speak again for several minutes, but bat
still at her father's feet, with her hands
clasped in her lap and her eyes fixed
upon the floor.
“She takes it very quietly/* thought
Mr. Dobson. “I thought It would have
made a greater impression on her; but so
much the better for us all!”
“Papa,” Amoret said at last, without
looking up. I don't think it is fair that
Mr. Aakam should bo sent away, or
should go away, because of that.”
“My dear child, I think you bed be*b?r
not interfere. If Askam has inado up
liis mind that it is for the best—”
“But I think he is mistaken,” pottUtcd
tho girl, softly. I think It is a foolish
and useless step to take. Where can he
go? He hae no home, and ho is very
happy boro with us.”
“I am afraid it was very imprudent
of me to allow him to bo so much about
the house,” said her father remorsefully.

unfair now, when it was you who led me

when ho has confessed so honorably,
too!”
“Mv darling—turn round upon him !”
“Yets, papa ; I uso the word* advisedly.
You should L>o the one top protec t him.
sinco it was you who encouraged him,
against my better judgment; to conn-

“My darling child!”
“Yes, papa; I want him to finish that
portrait. 1 have sot my heart u;
and there is no reason why hu blioulu run
a war.”
“But since he wishes it?”
“Ho ought to finish his work first—toll
him so. You need not say tnat 1 know
anything, dad”—with a sago little nod.
Just tell him that 1 have set my heart
upon his finishing the portrait beforo
instead of after my marriage, and lhat,
unloss he wants to make me very uncom
fortable ami to make mo suspect some
thing. ho had bettermako up Ins mind to
remain.”
“In fact,’’ returned Mr. Dobson, with
a sigh of resignation, “you want to liavo
vour own way‘for once,’ and I am to
help vou to carry your point.’’
“i’Jcaso. papa'—very meekly. “Of
courso Mr. Askam will understand that
nothing is changed because of—of hi*
confession. I am still engaged to Tom.
1 am vory sorry that he has been so—so
foolish as to fall ,n lovu with ire, hut I
don’t think ho should allow su h a—a
trifle as that to interfere with the per
formance of a task he has undertaken.”
Mr. Dobson permitted himself to bo
Usaed. He hod yielded; there wa-,
nothing further to be said.
“Are you sure you can keep the se
cret?” ho asked, dismally. “I)o you
think Askam will not siikpect that you
know?”
“I will try. pApa,” said Miss Amoret,
meekly, “And now—there is a train to
Geneva in about an hour and threo-
juarters”—looking at tho little watch
that Roland had given back to tier;
“Don’t you think you might go over at
once to the Beau Site and speak to him.
Otherwise it may be too late.”
“Anything else?”demand>d her father,
shrugging his bent shoulder* a* he
stood up and prepared to obey his littlu
truant.
“Only that ho had better come to din
ner with Mr. Cadogan—don’t you
think k>, pa;tar *—with a ihower cf
kisses.
A few minutes later. Roland, as he
was thrusting his lmuu and hair brushy
into his Gladstone bag, was interrupted
by a visit from Mr. Dobson,who declared I
that Amoret had Leeit-gud him with
question*, that she had set her heart '
up n the | ortrutt'* being tim hod bofutc- j
her marriage, and that therefore Askam
