CHAPTER VI.

LADY HOTTRELL'S SECRET (CONTINUED). Had Mr. Chantrey, however, had the slightes suspicion of why his daughter had not only refused the offer of the affluent Mr. Simpson

(furnisher of lamps and cabin fittings to ships), and was likely to refuse a prospective offer of a future baronet with thirty thousaad s year, and also the offers of one or two other relatively suitable persons, he would probably have done more than grosu aloud. He would, perhap have torn his hair-if over people do tear their bair!--and certainly he would have used violent languagoas violent as in permissible to a parson-while he would undoubtedly have been & wretched man. It is also not too mach to suppose that, bad he known the reason of his daughter's refusal of offers, past, present, and to come, he would have thened her out of his hose and bada her go and live anywhere obse

than in it.

He would have done all this if, six months before Lleatonent Bottrell bad made those remarks to him after luncheon in the mossroom

"I suppose you mean by gambling. Well! that's as good a way as any, so long as you do

Nonsense. Half the world lives by spoon- lation, and lives well. Not. that anyone would ever speculate at all, if they were properly paid for their work; for the work they do and devote their lives to doing. But they are not, and so they must supplement their earnings by spoon- Iation. However, we don't want to talk about that. You love me, don't you.

Thoda Chan rey had, indeed, loved this man who-for such is the inconsistency both of Love and Fate-was probably, of all the men she know, the one whom it was least advisable for her to Love.

He and Rhods had a hundred ways of meeting: at various people's houses, at her father's Vicarage, to which Lambert had been made welcome in that free and easy way of the vicar's which was generally extended by in to those whom he regarded as harsalows and unimportant acquaintances. A free and easy way, vastly different from the manner-the empressement-which he was in the habit of Untifying towards such very different persons as Mr. Simpson or the future Sir Geofrey Bottrell, or other of the well-to-do officers of theth Dragoons.
