And dear Angela did discuss moving often, but, she could never bear to leave the city house, where so many of her dear ones have passed away. “Well, none of my dear ones are go- ing to 4 away there,” said Phyllis irreverently, “unless Mrs, Clancy wants to. I'm not even taking any servants but Wallis, The country house doesn't need any more than a cook, & chambermaid, and outdoor man.

The plan she happened to have last always went Mhrouxh, because she fought for that Ag Bard as she had for the others, and you were so bothered, by them you dép't ‘e what.” Wallis's carefully ‘mpersonal ser- wapt Knglish had slipped from him, and he was talking to Phyllis as man to man, but she was very glad of it. ‘These were the sort of facts she hat to elicit cheerful, She will stay in the city and “When Mr. Allan was well," ho keep the others straight, in something Went on, “he used to just laugh and She calls board wages, I'm starting my, ‘All right, mother darling,’ and absolutely fresh,” ‘They were back at Mrs, De Guen- ther's house by the time Phyllis was done telling her plans, Phyllis sitting in the identical pluffy chair where she had made her decision to marry Allan. Mrs, De Guenther sprai from her own chalr, and came over and im- pulsively kissed her. “God bless you, dear!” she sald. “T believe it was Heaven that inspired Albert and myself to choose you to carry on poor Angela's work.” Phyllis flushed indignantly. “I'm undoing a Uttle of tt, I hope,” whe said passionately, “If I can only make that poor boy forget some of those dreadful years she spent crying over him, 1 shan’t bave lived in vain!" Mrs, De Guenther looked al Thyllls earnestiy—and, most unexpectedly, burst into a little tinkling laugh, pet her and do his own way-—he was always laughing and carrying on then, Mr. Allan—but after he was hurt, of course, he couldn't get away, and the old madam, she'd sit by his couch by tire hour, and he nearly went wild, making plans for him.

LAN HARRINGTON lay in his old attitude on his couch in the darkened day room, his tired, clear-cut face a little thrown back, eyes half-closed. He was not thinking of anything or any one especially; mere- ly wrapped in a web of the dragging, empty, gtay half-thoughts of weari- # in general that had hung about him sc many years. Wallis was not there, Wallis had been with him much less lately, and he had scarcely seen Phyl- is for a fortnight; or, for the matter of that, the dog or any one at all. Something was going on, he supposed, but he scarcely troubled himself to wonder what. The girl was doubtless making herself boudoirs or something of the sort in a new part of the house. He closed his eyes entirely, thera in the dusky room, and let the web of dreary, gray, formless thought wrap him again. Phyllis's gay, aweetly carrying voice rang from outside the door: “The three-thirty, then, Wallis, and I feol as if I were going to steal Charlie Ross! Well On the last word she broke off and Pushed the aitting-room door softly open and slid In. She walked in a pussy-cat fashion which would have suggested to any one watching ber a dark burden on her conscience. She crossed straight to the couch, jooked around for the chair that should have been by it but wasn’t, and sat absently down on the floor, She “Allan Harrington!" Still none. Allan was half asleep, or what aid instead, in one of his abstracted moods. “All-an Harrington)" This time she reached up and pulled at his heavy silk sleeve as she spoke, ae said Allan courteously, as if from an infinite distance, “Would you mind,” asked Phyllis gullelessly, “if Wallis—we—moved you—a little? I can tell you all about everything, unless you'd rather not have the full details of the plan”"—— “Anything,” said Allan weartly from the depths of his gray cloud; “only don't bother me about it!" Phyllis jumped to her feet, a whirl of gay blue skirts and cheerfully tossing blue feathers. ‘“Good-by, dear Crusader!” she said with a catch in her voice that might have been either a laugh or a sob, “The next time you see me you'll probably hate me! Wallis! Wallis appeared like the Slave of the Lamp. “It's all right, Wallis, she said, and ran, Wallis proceed thereupon to wheel his master’s couch into the bedroom. “If you're going to be moved, you'd better be dressed a little heavie: sir,” he said with the same amiable gullelessness, if the victim had but noticed it, which Phyllis had used from her seat on the floor not long before. “Very well,” sald Allan resignedly from his cloud, And Wallis pro- ceeded to sult the action to the word. Allan Iet him go on in unnoticing silence till it came to that totally unfamilar thing these seven years, & stand-up collar, A shiningly new linen collar of the newest cut, a bea' tiful golden brown knit tle, & gray suit!-— “What on earth?” inquired Allan, awakening from his lethargy. ‘I don't need a collar and tie to keep me from getting cold on a journey across the house. And where did you get those clothes? They look new.” Wallis laid his now fully dressed master back to a reclining position— he had been propped up—and tucked pocket as he replied, ley's, sir, Where you always deal.” And he wheeled the couch back to the day room, over to its very door. It did not occur to Allan, as he was being carried down downstairs by Wallis and Arthur, another of the ser- vants, that anything more than a change of rooms was intended; nor, as he was carried out at its door to @ long closed cariage, that it was any- thing worse than his new keeper's mistaken idea that drives would be good for him. He was a little irri- table at the length and shut-upness of the drive, though, as his cot had been swung deftly from the ceiling of the carriage, he was not jarred, But when Wallis and Arthur car- ed the light pallet on whieh he lay swiftly up @ plank walk laid to the door of @ private car—why then it began to occur to Allan Harrington that something was happening, And ~which rather surprised himself—he did not lift a supercilious eyebrow and say In a soft, apathetic volece, “Very we-ell!l” Instead, he turned his head toward the devoted Wallis, who had helped two conductors swing the cot from the ceiling, and was now waiting for the storm to break, And what he said to Wallis was this; _- 7 “What the deuce does this tom- foolery mean?” As he spoke he felt the acoumulated capacity for temper of the last seven years surging up toward Wallis, and Arthur, and Phyl- lis, and the carriage horses, and everything else, down to the two con- ductors, Wallis seemed rather re- Neved than otherwise, Waiting for a storm to break is rather wearing. “Well, sir, Mra, Hartington, she thought, sir, that—that a little move would do you good. And you didn’t want to be bothered, air’— “Bothered!” shouted Allan, not at ail like @ bored and dying invalid. “I should think I did, when a change in my whole way of life is made! Who gave you, or Mra, Harrington, per- mission for this outrageous perform- ance! It's sheer, brutal, ingulting Idiocy!" “Nobody, air—yes, sir," replied Wallis meckly, “Would you care for a drink, sir—or anything?” “No!” thundered Allan, “Or a fan?” ventured Wallis, ap- proaching near with that article and laying it on the coverlid. Allan's hand snatched the fan angrily—and before he thought he had hurled it at Wallis! Weakly, it is true, for it lighted Ingloriously about five feet away; but he had thrown it, with a movement that must have put to use the muscles of the long-disused upper arm, Wallis sat suddenly down and ught his breath, “Mr, Allan!” he sald, “Do you know what you did then? You threw, and you haven't been able to use more than your forearm befor Mr. Allan, you're getting better! Allan himself lay in astonishment at his feat, and forgot to be angry for a moment. “I certainly did!” he ‘And the way you lost your tem- per!” went on Wallis enthusiastically. “Oh, Mr. Allan, it was beautiful! You haven't been more than to say snarly since the accident! It was so like the way you used to throw hair. brush But at the mention of his lost tem- per Allan remembered to lose it atill further, His old capacity for storm- ing, ® healthy lad's healthy young hot-temperedneas, had been weak- ened by long disuse, but he did fairly well, Secretly it waa a pleasure to him to find that he was alive enough to care what heppened, enough for anger, He demanded presently where he was going, “Not more than two hours’ ride, air, I heard Mr. De Guenther men- tion,” answered Wallis at once, “A little place called Wallraven—quite country, sir, I beltev: “So the De Guenthers are in it too!" said Allan, “What the dickens hae this girl done to them, to hypnotize them #0?"

It was furnished (with the best Imitation Chippendale to be obtained in a hurry, but over and above there were cushioned chairs and couches enowgh for solid comfort, There were more cheerful pletures, the Maxfield Parrishes Phyllis had wanted, over the green papered walls. There was a fire here also, The room had no more period than a girl's sentence, but there was a bright air of welcomeness and informality that was winning, An old-fashioned haif- table againat the wall was covered with @ @reat many picknicky things to eat, Another table had more things, mostly to eat with, on It, And th wero the De Guenthers and Phyllis, On the whole it felt very like a welcome home. Phylits, in a satiny rose colored gown he had never before, came over to his couch to meet him, She looked very apprehensive and young jand wistful for the role of Bold Bad Hypnotist, She bent toward him with hor hand out, seemed about to speak, then backed, flushed, and noted as if ething had frightened her badly. sty ay all that?” wAbpenen ?

And ‘Allan, lying there smiling boyishly up at her, Allan seen for the first time in these usual looking gray man clothes, waa like neither the marble Crusader she had feared nor the heartbroken little boy she had pitied.

Altogether spring was to be there before him in her ruffled pink gown. What should she do? It was just then that Mrs, De Guen- ther’s crisply spoken advice came. Phyllis was one of those people whose first unconscious instinct 1s to obey an unspoken order. She bent blindly to Allen's lips, and kissed him with & child's obedience, then straightened up, aghast, He would think her very bold! Hut he did not, for some reason. It may have seemed only comforting and natural to him, that swift child- ish kiss, and Phyliis's honey-colored, violet-scented hair brushing his face. Men take a great deal without que tion as their rightful due. Tho others closed around him then, welcoming him, laughing at the sur- prise and the way he had taken it, telling him all about it as if every- thing were as usual and pleasant as the He gave Allan other details as they went on, however, His clothes and Personal belongings were coming on immediately. There were two suit cases, perhaps he had noticed,.in the car with them. The young madam was planning to stay all the sum- mer, he believed. Mrs. Clancy had been left behind to look after the other @ervants, and he understood that she had seen to the engagement of @ fresh staff of servants for the country. And Allan, still awakened by his fit of temper, and fresh from thé monotony of his seven years’ se- clusion, found all the things Wallis could tell him very interesting. Phyllis's ro@e-garden house had, among other virtues, the charm of being near the little station; a new little mission station which had ap- parently been called Wallraven by some poetic young real estate agency, for the surrounding countryside looked countrified enough to be a Gray's Corners, or Smith's Crossing, ‘insistent. Allan forgave Wallis, not to speak of Phyllis and the conductors, to a certain degree. He ordered the flapping black oll- cloth curtain in front rolled up so he could eee out, and secretly enjoyed the drive, unforeseen though it had been, His spine never said a word, Perhaps it, too, enjoyed having a change from @ couch in a dark city room. They saw no one in their passage through the long, low old house. Phyllis evidently had learned that Allan didn’t like his carryings-about done before people. Wallis seemed to be acting under a series of detailed orders.
