To find her so much as looking at me was to be struck with a ridiculous palsy that Sent a nervous tremour all through me, as if there were an electric bat- tery in her eyes; to be directly ada- dressed by her was total overthrow of the wits and paralysis of the tongue.
That was during the first half hour of “ur contact. By degrees I came to feel it was good to be near her, and Listen to her wondrously vivacious and penetrative talk, and watch the flying shallows of thought on her superb! mculded and expressive face, and the gleam of her raven hair, nd the sunshine that rippled in Gimpled cheek and chin, and the sparkle of her dark eyes, eyes which were equally ready to iaugh in joy or melt in pity or flash in stern indignation and rebuke.

“Probatly he is, responded Sir Thomas, quietly. “Yet most of us are wiser at sixty than at twenty.”
“And [ndia is so dreadfully far away, Sir Thomas,” put in my mother, tremulously.
“Why, as to that, cousin,”? said the lawyer, with an unctuous smile, “ coe- lum non animum mutant, qui trans mare currunt’”’ (crossing the seas does mot change a man’s nature).
No notice being taken of this speech, I stammered what I regret to have to confess was hardly the truth—namely,

My mother said nothing, but it was
clear the dinner had little relish, for she and Isabel Jett the table. early. There was silence for a little while after their withdrawal.
Then Sir Thomas said: ‘Since you have decided then, Mr. Andrew, if it would not be prying tco much into private affairs might I ask—if I am impertinent pray tell me so—what your

To this I was forced to confess that IT had noi thought out my plens, that, in fact, I had no plans at all.

“Mr. Andrew is goirg to India and will search out Donald,” continued Sir Thomas. “Therg’s news to gledden your beart, mv child.”
Isabel turned toward me, her eves gleaming with a dewy. wistful bright- ness, and her hands shuking with a sudden tremour, so that I would fain have taken hold of them to comfort her.

The joy that gave Sir Thomas and Isabel new life filled me also with an exquisite delight, but when they were radiant with nope and happy by anti-
cipation, my dear mother’s face blanch- €@ so that my gladness was checked by the duty of comferting her. In
this office Isabel came to my help with tke sweet words and winning ways that were all her own, ard by dint of severance in looking
ai the sunny side of things and keep-
ing the dark out of view, in a little while my mother smiled through her

It must he understood that I was not ts go solely as Sir Thomas’ emissary to seek out Donald. I was going prim- arily on my own account—to push my own fortune—and Sir ‘Thomas’ mission was, as he was pleased to put it, “a mere act of charity done to a stranger out of the govdness of my heart.” Yet in truth the charity and goodness were all on the other side.
