Anga was passionately fond of flowers, and spent hears in the garden. I had many and many a talk with her, often enough forgetting myself. I told her about my travels, and she kept listening with tuflagging attention.

I think I was already in love with Anga Wal- worth. She came upon me like a vision of light [1433 that evening, when I stood waiting for Donald Forguson in the passage leading to the "Thalia Rooms," where the Eversley Volunteers were having their annual ball I heard a silvery rožca kindly and politely thanling a joor nuderling whe evidently had put right a slight mishap in Miss Walworth's dress.

"I am very happy hera, Na'm,” tioned frequently. She was the daughter of a wealthy lawyer who had reanly retired from the bar and lived at a country at about three miles from Eversley.

One

way was very simple. I need only call apon her father, then I should be invited, intro- duced, could make love, pop the question und there we were! But should I then know Angs Walworth? submit this question to all mar ried men, who get their little surprises after the honeymoon is over, and I was never a friend of suprises, either great or small

Of course the gentle, amiable way in which I hhoad Anga talk to that poor black-dressed, mustin-capped and aproned drudge, who looked as if she had always all the work and others the play-flat was something in her favour. But oven then this was not exactly in the bosom of her family, where I know that the snapping and snarling of those dear fairy like creatures was generally carried on, towards long-suffering mothers and much-maligned littls brothers.

Besides, Fho would guarantee that the girl wanted me? that she could ever love me 1 argued of course my part of the question first, but then, as the arrangement would be joint- stock, strictly limited," hor voies was of equal importanza.

A thought struck me: there was an opening me. All my life I had been fond of botany. I knew a lot about gardening, and I could study another flower from the nearest point of view.

Donald arrived just as I had matured my plan as far as this! He called me a donkey and laughed in my face. But finally, when I bod talked him round, he offered me his own reference. He knew his recommendation went

long way with Mr. Walworth.

So it came about that the next Monday I presented myself at Eversley as George Millor, sergeant of the fourth Grenadiers, invalided home from India: I was attired in a respectable working man's suit, ond as I passed ranster in the old gentleman's cross-questioning and had no fault to find with wages and accommodation, was engaged and soon established in my cottage, with the coachman's wife to look after

I scraped a bow as uncouth as I could

mid, perhaps a trifle too ardently, for the brown eyes gave me a questioning look. "I like my work and the people here are nice and quiet," I said reassuringly,

Summer had sped a good while on. I lived really most comfortably in The Enres. Of course I had little or no intercourse with my fellow servants. I knew they called me the gentlemon-gardiener, but this seemned to be done without a sneer. Once I overheard Mr. Wal worth pointing me out to Squire Howard: This is my new gardener. I tell you, Squire, the fellow is a treasure. I'm only afraid he is too good to last.”

I strolled out of hearing, for I felt that my present calling did not absolve me from the in- beru duties of a gentleman.

By and by the two old cronies approached me again and now my own asmo strack my ear through the cover of the Lanrestinus hedge.

"Vincent Arran? Well they say he is gone abroad again; a pity about the fellow! Splendid intellect, good old family, plenty of money, but such a restless scamp."

"Pity indeed," growled Mr. Walworth. "As if there were no berths opus in Old England for a fellow who has every advantage and could do grod if he would. But no! Such as he are alore trying to serve honourably their own country. They must gad and gad from East to West,"
