The light was ony a dim one, and as she did not e or turn round at his entrance, heflid not recognize her until he was standing on the hearthrug by her side. Th#u he started with a little exclamâ€" atibn. He stopped in the middle of his quesâ€" tlog and looked intently at her. Her head was thrown back amongst the cushions of the chair, and she was fast asléeep. Her hat was a little crushed, aud a little curl of fair hair had esâ€" caped and was hanging down over her forthead. _ There were undoubtedly teat stains upon her pretty face. Her plain, blue jJacket was half undone, and thagloves which she had taken o[{ lay in ber lap. Wolfenden‘s anger subsided at ouce. _ No wonder Selby had been pexlexod. But Selby‘s perplexity was nothing to his own. i Sie woke up suddenly and saw him staiding there, craces of his amazeâ€" ment still lingering on his face. She looksd at him, halfâ€"frigntened, hallâ€" wisttully. The color came and went in her theeksâ€"her eyes grew soft with tears He felt himself a brute.

"Well, Blanche, then," he said, slowly. "Iz that better ?" ‘"She answered nothing, but looked at him again. Her hand remained in his. She suffered him to lead her back to the chair. "It‘s all nousense your going away, you know,‘ he said, a little awkwardâ€" ly. "You can‘t wonder that I am surâ€" prised. Perhaps you don‘t know that It is a little lateâ€"after midunight, in fact. Where should you go to if you ran away like that? Do you know anyone in London ?" "Iâ€"don‘t think so.‘" she admitted. "Well, do be reasouable then. First of all tell me all about it." She nodded, and began at once, now and then lifting her eyes to his, mostly gazilrg fixedly at the gloves which she was smoothing carefully out up«»1 her knee. "I think," she said, "that Lord Derâ€" ingham is not well. What he has been writinz has becoms more and more incoherent, and it has been dfficult to copy it at ali. 1 have done my best, but he has never seemâ€" ed satisfied; and he has taken to watch me in an odd sort of way, just as though I was doing something wroug all the time. You know he fanâ€" cles that the work he is putting toâ€" gether is of immense importance. Of course I Con‘t know that it is isn‘t. All I do know is that it sounds and reads like absolute rubbish and it‘s awfulily @fficult to copy. He writes very quickly and uses all manner of abbreviations, and if I make a single mistake in typing it he gets horâ€" go on how for the sake of the money ; but I haven‘t told you everything yet. The worst part, so far as I am conâ€" cerned, is to come." " This morning your father came very early into the study and found a sheet of carbon paper in my . desk am| two coples of one page of the work I was doing. As a matter of fact I had never used it before, but I wanted to try it for practice. There was no harm in g I should have deâ€" stroyed the secofl sheet in a minâ€" ute or two, and in any case it was so badly done that it was absolutely worthless. But directly Lord Derâ€" ingham saw it he w uite white, and I thought he wa ng to have a fit. I can‘t tell you all he said. He was brutal. The end of it was that my boxes were all turned out, and my desk and everything belonging to me searched as though I were a housemaid suspected of theft, and all the time I was kept locked up. When they had finished I was told to put my hat on and go. Iâ€"I had nowhere to go to, for Murielâ€"â€"you remember I told you about my sisterâ€"went to America last weak. I hadn‘t the least ldea what to doâ€"and soâ€"Iâ€"you were the only person who had ever been kind to me," she concluded, suddenly leaning over towards him, a little sob in her throat, and her eyes swimming with tears. A There are certain situations in life when an honest man is at an obvious disadvantage. Wolfenden felt awkâ€" ward and desperately ill at ease. He evaded the embrace which her moveâ€" ment and eyes had palpably invited, and compromised matters by taking her hands and holding them tightly in his. Even then he felt far from comfortable. "But my mother," he exclaimed. "Lady Deringham surely took your part ?" She shook her head vigorously. "Lady Deringham did nothing of _ the sort," she â€" replied. ‘"Do you _ remember last time when you were down, you took me for a walk once or twice and you talked to me in the evenings, andâ€"but perâ€" haps you have forgotten. Have you?" She was looking at him so eagerly that there was only one answer posâ€" glble for him. He hastened to maka it. There was a certain lack of enthusâ€" lasm in his avowal, however, which brought a look of reproach into her face. She sighed and looked away into the fire. He was very well aware ol it. He had never asked her to write, and her note had seemed to him a trifle too ingenuous. He had never meant to anâ€" ewer it. * ‘‘*Well," sho continued, "Lady Derâ€" ingham has never been the same since then to me. It didn‘t matter while you were there, but after you left it was very wretched. I wrote to you, but you never answered my letter." . __ "I so seldom write letters," he said. "I thought, too, that it must have been your fancy. My mother is generâ€" ally considered a very goodâ€"hearted woman." â€" She laughed bitterly. "Oh, one does not fancy those things," she said. ‘"Lady Deringham has been coldly civil. to me ever since, and nothing more. This morning she geemed absolutely pleased to have an excuse for sending me away. She knows quite well, of course, that Lord Deringham isâ€"not: himself ; but she took ewathlu he said for gospel, and tarned out of the house. _ There after 2l it was to come C LM very sorry,‘" he said ; "pleaso ind it has been at ali.

You won‘t send me ?&WM'? You are not angry with me ae She made a movement towards him, but he held her hands tightly. For the first time he began to see his way beâ€" fore him. A certain ingenuousness in her speech and in that little hallâ€"forâ€" gotten noteâ€"an ingenuousness, by the bye, of which he had some doubtsâ€"â€" was his salvation. He would accept it as absolutely genuine. She was a child who had come to him, because he bhad been kind to her. "Of course I am not angry with you," he said, quite emphatically. "I am very glad indeed that you came. It is only right that I should help you when my people seem to have treated you so wretchedly. Let me think for a moment." 9 _ Bhe watched him â€"very anxiously, and moved a little closer to him. *"‘Tell me," she murmured, "what are you thinking about ?" "I have it," he answered, standing suddenly up and touching the bell. "It is an excellent idea." "What is it ?" she asked quickly. He did not appear to hear her qu(sâ€" tion. _ Selby was standing upon the threshold. Wolfenden spoke to him. _ "Selby, are your wife‘s rooms still vacant ?" Selby believed that they were. "That‘s all right then. Put on your hat and coat at once. I want you to take this young lady round there." "Very good, my lord." "Her Inggage has been lost, and may not artive until toâ€" morrow. Be sure you tell Mre. Selby to do all in her power to make things comfort: able." The girl had gone very pale. Wolfâ€" enden, â€" watching her cliosely, was surprised at her expression. "I think." he said, "that you will find Mrs. Selby a very decent sort of a person. If I may,. I will come and see you toâ€"morrow, and _ you shall tell me how I can help you. I am very glad indeed that you came to me." . "You are very, vyery kind," she said, slowly, "and very _ considerâ€" ate," she added, after a moment‘s pause. "I shall not forget it." She looked him then straight in the eyes. He was niore glad than he would have liked to confess even to himself to hear Selby‘s knock at _ She shot a single glance at him partly of anger, partly reproach. . "You have nothing to thank me for yet, at any rate," he said, takâ€" ing her hand. "I shall be only too glad if you will let me be of service to you." _ & 4 He led her out to the carriage and watched it drive away. with Selby %the box seant. Her jlast Flane she jJeaned back amongst the cushions, was a tender one; her lips were quivering, and her litt‘e fingers more than returned his pres sure. But Wolfenden walked back to his study with all the pleasurable feelings of a man who has eXtricat: ed himself with tact from an awkâ€" ward situation. "The frankness," he remarked to himself, as he lit a pipe and stretchâ€" ed himself out for a final smoke, " was a trifle, just a trifle, over: done. She gave the whole show away with that last @glance. I should like very much to know what it all means." This Man Measured in LifeNine Feet in Girth. There was buried at the Uplands Cemetery, Sinuthwich, on Sunday, Robert Dudlield. The circumstances of the fuperai are unique. Dudfield, when he died, was 54 years of age, and he weighed 32 stone. _ Although his height was normal, he measured eight or nine feet round the body, and three feet around the calf of each leg. His home was at Smethwick, and for many years he had been a drayman in the employ of Mitchell‘s and Butâ€" ler‘s, Limited, brewers. He belonged to a notable family, for his two sig ters are said to weigh 60 stona beâ€" tween them, while < Dudfield‘s twin brother, who is still living, is said to be even heavier than deceased was. ‘The brothers were on very affectionâ€" ate terms, and until a year or so ago had lived under the same roof. The funeral arrangements were beâ€" set with difficulties. In the first place it was necessiry that the shell to enclose the remains should be the strongest possible, and the undertaker spent nearly two days in searching for suitable timber. When completed the coffin measured 6 feet 3 inches in length, 3 feet wide and 21 inches deep. It was lined with lead, and enâ€" cireled with strong bands of iron. Not a hearse within a radius of some miles could be found sufficiently broad to admit so huge a coffin, and as a last resort It was decided to utilize a brewer‘s dray for the purpose. It was quite imposaible to take the cofâ€" fin out of the house by the doorway, and the lower portion of the woodâ€" work of a bay window and two large panes of glass were removed. A platâ€" form was then erected from the house to the street. On the dray beâ€" ing brought up in front of tha house, the coffin containing the remains was let down on rollers on to it. The proâ€" ceedings were watched by a large crowd, which at one time (was so great that a length of the wall in front of the row of houses, owing to the pressure, gave way, and a woman in the panic which ensued was carâ€" ried bodily through a pane of glass into the room of the next door house.
