Yours always, S. J. P." With the fold of the envelope to her tongue she paused, reflective. Then she took the note out again, read it over, and ran her pencil through the last two letters of her signature. And taking two Parma violets from the knot at her breast a recent gift from Wanless she put them within the paper. Thus she did deliberately as the Fates would have her. Addressing "Mr.
I met her the other day. She's Mrs. Duplessis." Chevenix stared at him. "Why, I know the chap. Where did you meet her? Where do they live?" he asked his friend. But Ingram had other things to think of, and returned to his letter. "I shall take this as she means it, Bill. She wants me to go slow I can take a hint. She shall have her head. When I get her down to Wanless we shall be all right.
If only that you may run into it again at need, you will draw a cheque. Now, you had eight years of it at Wanless, you tell me? Very well, my dear, that must be written off Society's books. Meanwhile, the more you see of amusing, emancipated people like Alexis Morosine the better."

"He's been very foolish, very wicked; he had no business whatever to do as he did to put me in the wrong. I'm angry with him, and he will see that I am. But " Mrs. Benson knew the force of that "but." It had brought the young lady to Wanless. Yet Mrs.

Thereafter a timidly poising foot and some robust breadth of stocking revealed the anxieties of Mrs. Devereux.
Julien, the 3rd Toronto Regiment, two companies, joined up with the 10th and 16th at St. Julien Wood. Then came Geddes' British Brigade, and on their left the 13th British Brigade under Brigadier-General R. Wanless O'Gowan. This brigade arrived in the afternoon from Hill 60.
