The young man had to admit, rather reluce tantly, that this was not unreasonable. He hoped, however, that his period of probation would not be unduly protracted; his desired to say must emphatically that ho, for his part, held himself bound to Miss Hartlog; and he was of opinion that, since the matter was really as good as settled, immediate neighbours at all Dvents might be informed of it. "The Bay. fords, for instance, ought to be told, I think,"

"Oh, if you mean that you want Cinely to be told, I have no objection," answered Geraldine, repressing a short ontbreak of laughter, it which her sultor did not join. "I will tell her myself, as a confidential communication, if you

So it was with a red face and a soul fall of bitterness that this handsome young gentleman stalked away from Combe Fark, where Miss Ciosly Bayford lived, and made for his own neighbouring domain of Rushden, where, alas! she would never live now. Perhaps he had made rather too sure of success. She had incidently intimated as much, and indeed it was evident enough that he had been mistaken in her yet he could not help

In any case, sho had had no sort of right to imply, what was absolutely untrue, that he had relied upon his undeniable advant ages to win for him a prize of infinitely greater value than all the money and lands in the world. At least, he had honestly believed the prize in question to be of that inestimable worth; bat one lives and learns. Now that he knew the girl to be a mere heartless flirt, of course matters were altered For the rest, he was certainly entitled to regard himself as eligible.

It was, therefore, no wonder that the persons SHOTA unmerated went about with smiles more or less visibly wy on their faces; but nasured ly Frank Maddison had no right whatever to be angry, and he was by far the sngriest of them all. He asked Geraldine whether she did not think that sort of thing downright sickening, and his temper was not improved when she blandly replied:

"I can't see why you should think its I was not surprised at Cicaly's being rather disgusted with you for transferring your af- fections so suddenly, bonus you really were in love with her, you know; but as it appears that she never was in love with you, you cant hardly acease her of inconsistency, can you?

Geraldine had not find been at the start. In smoothing his ruffled THE said a word in contravention of that view, but plumage. He longed to be of his bargain (it had listened sympathisingly, as was her wont, had come to that!) but he was very sure that she and had certainly seemed to approve of her did not intend to let him off, and he was irre friend's action. To most people, therefore, the vocably pledged. task of announcing a purpose to become her friend's successer might have presented itself as somewhat formidable; but Geraldine was always self-possessed.

"Yes, I know it sounds rather shooking," she gently admitted, in reply to certain trenchant comments; "but that should not deter one from undertaking what looks like a distinct mission, I really believe that I--and perhaps nobody else can gaze poor, doar Frank of those little defects of character which have naturally enough, repelled you. It must be owned that he needs some reforming."

Well, if it was impossible to quarrel with Geraldine, there was difficulty at all about quarrelling with Cicely, and this be disecvered As soon as he took it upon him to let her know what he thought of her behaviour in engaging herself to a man for whom he was convinced that she had no genuine affection. She turned upon him at once with an obvious retort, and forthwith they not to work to exchange mutual denunciations until one of them out of leath and the other was in tears. It was at the annual Combo Park ball that this very undig. nified scene took place. Frank and Cicely, who had been dancing together, had retired into the untenanted billiard-room and there so far for gotten what was due to themselves and one another as to fall out in the manner described, But that was not the worst of it.

And Geraldine was perpetually find- ing pretexts for loaving him alone with her.

This charm of hers had never been more apparent or more Boothing to Frank Maddison than it was now, while she sat listening to him, with her hands lightly clasped on her knees and her soft groy eyes saying a good deal more than her tongue did. As a matter of fact, her tongue said remarkably little; but she quite understood, which was the main thing.

Rockefeller, the richest man in the world, intends, says the New York correspondent of a London journal, disposing of the greater part of his fortune, estimated at £103,000,000, through this organisation, and he hopes to in- duce other milliquires to follow his example.
