Beside the curtained window there, A girl looks longinly, Her thoughts not of the pleasant warmth, But all in sympathy, ,NVith revel of the winds without The bluster fearlessly. windy hill, a lad, a lass; The world all strangely white; Brave hearts to dare unbroken paths, When iove leads op by right, A moment's dreaming, then she turns To w&rmtb, love lost to sight.

HER VENGEANCE BY E. R. PUNSHON. lAuthor of "The Choice," "The Spin of the Coin," etc., etc. CHAPTER IX —A ROW OF FIGURES. Lord Ambrose had opened the postern gate again and was now stanidng in the street, look- ing eageriy to see if any trace of the fugitives were visible. But there was no one sight; and plainly the start. the two burglars had obtained was enough to make pursuit useless, since by now they might have turned a dozen corners and ba a dozen streets away in any direction. "There never is a policeman when you want one," grumbled Lord Ambrose. "Hi, you boy," he called as a lad suddenly appeared round a corner near, "here is a shilling. Run and find a policeman and tell him ho is wanted at Tewxton House and you shall have an- vther." The lad took the money and went off at a run. evidently much excited, and Hugh said: "Let us get back to the house and see how that man of yours is getting on-he may be' more badly hurt than we thought." Lord Ambrose nodded and turned back quickly with Hugh, both feeling just a trifle uneasy at the way in which they had neglected the injured valet in their eagerness for the more exciting occupation of burglar-hunting. in the porch, however, when they reached it there was no sign of the wounded man. Hugh picked up his coat, still lying where he had folded it under Hannah's head, and pushed open the door of the house. Entering the hall they saw Hannah there, sitting, looking very pale and ill, while the two women servants, disturbed by the noise of the recent struggle, were hov?ring around in a state of great alarm and bewilderment. They greeted the two young men with a volley of excited cries, questions, and exclama- tiom" to which Lord Ambrose replied briefly, while Hugh went up to the wounded man and looked at his injury "A nasty blow but not serious, I think," he said. "But who did it?" asked the cook, with an accusing eye on her master, whom she evi- dently suspected Why don't someone get the poor man a doctor? demanded the housemaid. "iiy good creatures, said Lord Ambrose "do ploa^-e kaep quiet—I have sent for the police, who will be here in a minute. There have been burglars-" "Burglars? who said burglars?" cried Ham- nah, twitching his head away from Hugh's hands and jumping up from his chair; "who said burglars?" He presented a ghastly picture as he stood there with the blood staining his pale face, his iusigoificant features and narrow eyes sudden- ly alight with some great passion, of desire or fear it seemed, in the flame of which one migh well fancy the whole of his small nature was transformed as by fire. "Burglars," repeated Lord Ambrose sooth- inglv. "robbers, you know.. I suppose they at- tacked you when you opened the door, but they did not succeed in getting anything." "How do you know that?" cried Hannah un- expectedly, and turned, with a kind of stag- gering run went rushing up the stairs, while the others stood and stared after him. "Well, what next?" said Lord Ambrose. "It has gone to his head," said the house- maid. "and- be is made for ever more." "Which should be a lesson to them as did it," said ihe cook, with her suspicious alternating between Hugh and Lord Ambrose. "Let us follow him," said Hugh-, "come aJong, Boustead, you women wait here till the police come." The two young men ran up the stairs after the valet; and w&re astonshed again to find that he did not pause at his'master s room, but made his way up to the second floor, where his own room was situated. He still went un- steadily, with weak steps and groping with his hands, but finding the door of his room he lurched against it and entered, and fell down by the .side of a trunk, which stood in the middle of the room, and which he at once opened and began to search with a wild anxiety. "I say," said Lord Ambrose to Hugh, "does Hannah think the burglars were after him and his belongings?" "It looks like it," said Hugh briefly. "And I thought it was dad's s'lv-r' mur- tcured Lord Ambrose, "behold a. lesson against pride." Hugh did not answer, but entered Hannah's room, the door of which the valet had left wide open, heedless or ignorant that he was follow- ed. He was still wildly searching in his trunk, from which as Lord Ambrose entered he threw out a very fine embroidered waistcoat. "Here, confound it," cried Lord Ambrose, catching site of this, "that's mine, by Jove!" Take it. then." snarled Hannah, continu- ing his wild and frantic search as a man might who was seeking for something that .was more than his life. "Hulio," said Huh, catching sight, ae he glanced round, of two ancient battle. covered with dust and cobwebs that were on the wash- stand, "what are those? your man knows good tipple, I think." "The best wine I've got." shouted Lord Am- brose furiously "you confounded villain, Han- nah—that's my old port, and there were only six bottles left, and he has taken two, by Jove!" Hannah, still furiously searching in his box, took no notice of this outbreak. Lord Am- brose, flushed with righteous indignation, took II a step towards him, when Hugh checked him with a quick gesture. "Just wait, won't you?" he said. "But those are my best silk ties," screamed Lord Ambrose excitedly, as Hannah searched en, heedless how much fresh plunder he ex- rosed "and the handkerchief is mine, too— lannah, you villain, you thief, you told me tfie laundry people had lost that white silk handkerchief." "Well, take it," snarled Hannah, and threw it in his face. Lord Ambrose fell back upon the bed, as if tho blow had over thrown 1]im) but in fact from sheer extremity of surprise. A door mat aris- 111 and protesting against being used by its owner to wipe his feet on, would have not caused the average man more astonishment than Lord Ambrose felt at this rebellion of his valet detected in the very act of plunder. Lord Ambrose blinked at the opposite wall and half supposed he dreamed, and Hugh stood watch- ing intently. "What is that?" he asked, pointing to §ome- tJing that seemed an irregularly shaped piece il-E dull glass or crystal about the size of a small molon. With a scream of joy, Hannah snatched at An envelope he had at last found. "They never got it, they never got it, he howled, and even as he shouted this, as he J pnatched the envelope up, his expression cb,ng- ed suddenly from triumph to despair, and he let himself collapse into a heap, still, however, clutching the envelope in his hand. "It has been opened and they have seen it," he mut- tered in the voice of a. dead man. Hugh stopped down and picked up tho piece of dull glass or crystal that had attracted his attention. On it was gummed a slip of paper on which was written in very smaU letters, "A model of the bisgest- diamond in the world— exact to size ano shap9." "Nonsense," said Hugh aloud, "there is not a diamond in the world one-half of the size of this thin." He Touched the shoulder of Han- nah. who seemed to have entirely collapsed. "Come, my man," he said, "what is the wican- in of all this?" "Why. look," Hannah muttered, holding up this envelope, "they have opened this and seen tho figures." "Seen what figures?" asked Hugh, "there is a paper in there still." "But they will have read it," repeated Han nah dully, as he drew out a sheet of yellow paper on which a. row of figures seemed to be written, and looked at it, and flung it down on the floor. "What is the use of it now?" he muttered "what is the use of it now they have seen it? I must have been mad not to have burnt it before." And he got up from his knees and went to a chair and sat on it with arms and head clang- ing down, like a man totally crushed. "What is this?" asked Hugh, showing him the lump of dull glass he held. Hannah made no answer. It hardly seemed he heard or was conscious of what was passing round him, Lord Ambrose got up slowly from the bed where he had fallen .under the weight of the handkerchief Hannah had thrown in his face, and went owards the trunk. "I should just like to see how much more of my property this rascal has," be said; "then when the police come I will give him in charge." With a very pained, indignant look he up the silk tie of his he had noticed. "Ho have let me wear the thing just once," *.oroniainod Lord Ambrose sadly; "the one I put on to go to Lady Hame's because I thought I hadn't got another, was simply shabby." "Is this yours?" asked Hugh, showing him the lump of dull glass. "No. what is it?" asked Lord Ambrose, and read the neatly written label. "Rubbish," he said; "there never was a diamond that size— lord, if there were—hi, you, Hannah, where did you steal this?" "That's mine." said Hannah sulkily, "you put that down." yours, is it?" said Lord Ambrose; "the polioe had better see about that, I think. And what about my wine, my ties. my handkerchief —merciful heavens!" he broke off with a yell of rage as moving some of the contents of the trunk he suddenly caught sight of a box full of his best cigars. "Oh," said Lord Ambrose, moved almost to tears, "and think of what I've been smoking, because I couldn't afford any more Havannahs, and here they are by tho hundred. You shall go to gaol for this, my man." what a.re you going to do?" asked Hannah, looking at him. "1 am going to give you in charge, of course," declared Lord Ambrose furiously, "the moment the polioe come." "You always were a fool," said Hannah slow- ly, "but surely you are not such a fool as that." Lord Ambrose gasped with a fresh shock of surprise and fell a step backwards; then his face cleared. "Oh," he said to Hugh, "I see the game- the scamp means to plead insanity." "No, I don't," said Hannah, "I only Bay there is nothing here you have not given me myself." "You can tell that tale in the police-court, my man," said Lord Ambrose. "If I could speak to you alone, my lord," said Hannah, suddenly resuming his usual re- soectful demeanour, "I am sure I could bring the true facts of the case to your lordship's memory." "WeÎ1. I am blowed," said Lord Ambrose, who could think of nothincr else to say. Tn-on he looked at Hugh. "What do you think, Tallentine ?" "You might hear what he has to say, per- haps," said Hugh, "I'll wait in the hall, if you like." He turned towards the door as he sDoke, still holding in his hand the lump of dull glass ho had picked up. "J bsg your pardon, sir," said Hannah, "but would you leave that, sir? It was the favourite plaything of my little sister that died when she was three, and I have kept it ever since in memory of her." "What doss this label on it mean, then?" asked Hugh. "Oh. that was just written on one dfy for a joke, sir," answered Hannah easily; "of course, there never was a. diamond one half that size. sir. nor a twentieth of it either, sir, as you wili know, sir." Hugh was well convinced the man was lying, but he sa.id nothing, and putting down the lump of glass on the bed bo went out of the room and down to the hall, where the two rather frightened and very bewildered women servants were still waiting. He asked them if the police had not come yet. and on their re- plying in the negative he sent them off to the kitchen, and himself to the front door looked out to see if there were any sign of any policeman. But apparently Lord Ambrose's messenger had either found his task difficult to execute or else had decided to rest content with one shilling without taking the trouble to earn another. Hugh waited for a moment or two, and then turned back into the hall, and after a time he saw I/ord Ambrose coming down the stairs towards him. "Why, what is the matter with you?" he said. looking at him, for Lord Ambrose's face was now as pale as death, almost ghastly, while his eye. were b-ight as with a fever. "Tallentine," he said, coming up to Hugh and speaking in a hoarse, excited whisper: "Tallentine. what would it be like, do you think, to b" tho richest man the world has ever known?" Before Hugh could reply to this astonishinr question, the housemaid suddenly appeared from behind: "Oh, if you please." she called eagerly, "here is the oolico, and has tha worst cf 'em, such a desperate female villain as never was, and nretendinT to be .selling flowers so innocent like and all!" CHAPTER X.—THE FLOWER GIRL'S ESCAPE. "Oh, that flower girl:" cried Lord Am- brose; and even in the midst of the shock that this announcement caused him, Hugh was con- scious of a look of almost sly and furtive relief Lord Ambrose showed as he spoke, as if he regretted his late exclamation and were glad of a chance to change the subject. "f knew she had something to do with it," said Lord Ambrose, "tell him to fetch her 110." A big policeman appeared, holding by her wrist the flower girl, who looked as calm and imperturbable as ever. It save Hugh the most strange sensation to see her small wrist held in the policeman's .great red paw. Looking at him, she smiled slightly and he felt that he was trembling. Luckily the others were star- ing their hardest at her, and so failed to notice his agitation, which in a moment he had con- quered. "The shameless baggage." said the cook, looking at her severely; "hasn't she got an awful, wicked, depraved low face?" "No wonder I felt all in a tremble when I saw her this morning, coming here pretending to sell her flowers as bold as you like," said the housemaid, who had followed upstairs after the policeman and his charge. "Ah," said the policeman, "here under pre- tence of selling flowers this morning, eh ? That is important." The flower girl made a curteev to Lord Am- brose. one to the cook that visibly propitiated that important functionary, one to Hugh that without hi knowing why made the blood rush to his checks, and then she said "1 tried to sell my flowers all down this] street this mornin". Why is it important that I came here, too?" She addressed this question to the policeman, who answered with official severity and brev- ity: "Because it is." "Oh," said the flower eirl. "You see." explained the policeman, who ap- parently felt that this "Oh!" of hers required Ii further answer, "that proves you was here." "Oh, I understand now, sir," said the flower girl meekly, "my being here this morning proves that I was this morning. Yes, sir." The policeman felt that this was not entirelv what he had meant, but he also found himself it a los? for words to explain his meaning bet- ter. So he contented himself with telling her, not to be impudent—but he said this nuite mildly, for after all she had called him "sir" twice over. "But why did you arrest her?" asked Hugh. "There was two niggers," explained the policeman, "what ran by me in such a hurry that I thought they was up to no good. So I sailed to 'em to stop, but instead of stopping I they doubled round a corner, and just then a soy yelled out I was wanted at Tewxton House almost immediate." "That was me," said a small but proud voice, ¡ proceeding from the youth Lord Ambrose had hired to act as messenger and who had return5 I id for his second shilling. "Which then," said the policeman, eyeing < he small boy with severity; "I stopped, and iust bolting round the corner on the other side jf the road was this here woman, so I ran I icross and tooked her." "You see," observed the flower girl meekly, "it was so much more convenient to arrest me it that corner, than the two great, big, black j men at the other corner." "Look here. my girl," said the policeman otly, "1 don't want no impudence from you. f ft, was just that I was nearer you, that was ill." "Oh, I thought you were nearer to them,

FOR MATRON AND MAID. THE MODEL WIFE. If you want to be a model wife you should take a few tips from a model One of these has said '1 am a model wife because I have never allowed myself to become either passe or slovenly. I felt that I owed this to my husband. 1 am a model wife, too, because I know how to take care of my husband's money. Every in- crease has meant an increase to our weekly savings. I have also made an absorbing study of my husband. To me he is of the most vital interest, and the study of life and character teaches one what to avoid, what to encourage, And what to condemn, and the way to go about all these things." REJOICE IN ALL WEATHERS. A child should be taught from its earliest life to find entertainment in every kind of condition of weather. If it hears the elders constantly grumbling about such matters, the child's plastic mind is quick to receive the impression that a rainy day or an east wind is a disaster. Do not anticipate the happiness of to-morrow, but discover it in to-day. Unless you are in the profound depths of some despair you will find it if you look for it. Happiness must come from within in order to respond to that which comes from without, just as there must be a musical ear and temperament to enjoy music. COIFFURE NOTES. If your face is broad, the high coiffure in. creases its apparent length. If yours be a slender countenance, then affect the low coiffure, for its tendency is toward breadth. If the face be broad, do not build the hair out loosely about the cars. Instead, comb it upward above the ears. If the face be slender, its apparent breadth is added to by the "fluffing" nut of the hair about tho ears. If the face is angular, its hardness is reduoed by a soft arrangement of the hair.

sir." said the flower girl: "but when I saw them they frightened me dreadfully. I wish I was a man, so that big black negroes wouldn't frighten me—but perhaps it is the uniform that makes you brave, sir," she added with an admiring up in the policeman's face. N "Never jnin-'j 'Sat," interrupted Lord Am- brose sharp!v "whv were you running away at air. I t;aw her by the gate," said Hugh slowly and speaking with an effort that made him wonder 10 find it necessary; "I saw her by tha gate, and she bent down to sec if it were loek- ed. and then she ran olf." "Ah," ;-aid the policeman with great satis- faction, "that settles her, I think. You will come along to the station, my dear." The flower girl pointed an accusing finger at Hugh. "He frightened me so," she complained. "I was coming down the street when the gate opened, and those big black men ran out. I was so frightened, and I can't think how this gentleman"—she paused to curtsey to the policeman—"was so brave and bold the way he I ran after them—though it was me ho happened to catch instead of them, somehow or another." "You get on with what you've got to say. my irl," said the polioeman, rather red in the face, "and never mind rre." "Then he came," said the flower girl, pointing again at Hugh, "and he took hold of the gate and shook it. terribly, and I made sure he was mad, and they had locked him in. So I just looked to see if the gate was really locked and then I ran away, too, and the policeman ran after me and I am sure if I were a policeman I would much rather arrest one small girl than L two big black men any day-they might have turned nasty about it, and of course I could only submit." Having finished her story, she put on a rc- signed Jook and curtseyed to every one in turn, including the cook, who looked half inclined to curtsey back, but, contented herself with smil- ing- instead. "0' course, if the frentleman frightened her like that." said the policeman, looking severe- ly at Hugh, "it is no wonder the poor girl runned away, and made me think she was an accomplice." For our polioeman was a man of some imag- ination and already seemed to bear the com- mcnts of his inspector on the flower girl's story —told as the flower girl to.d it. "Well, now you have li-r. said the house- maid, who, standing jus; behind, had not. re- ceived any curtsey, "I hope you wilJ keep ber —the low thing." "For my part," said t h cook, "I don't see what you took her up for— -r.be seems a rncst respectful mannered young female." "I took the young Jady on suspicion only," observed the policeman. "Do you charge her. my lord. "Certainly. said Lord Ambrose; "I'll swear sho was in "it." "But what do you charge her with?" asked Hugh. "If I might venture to suggest," said a new ge voice. that of the valet, Hannah, who had no'v appeared on the scene, looking a little pale otherwiso showing no sign of the rough h*no»- ing he had recently received "the constab'° should b9 asked to retire, my lord, for I n':1 sure there is nothing to charge anybody with. beyond a. stupid drunken freak." Lord Ambrose looked round sharply, and Hannah made him a quick imperative sign to approach that his master obeyed instantly. For a moment or two they whispered, and then Lord Ambrose turned and said like a man re- peating by rote what another had told him to say: Well, yes, constable, I don't think really anything one could reaity cha'.ce em- body with—probably it was just a dr.i]^ freak." "Do you call an attempted burglary a dvunV- en freak?" asked Hugh astonished. He rra-'«' a step towards Lord Ambrose and whistvrerj in his ear: "I say. what about ail those things of yours you found in your man's room?" "There is nothing in Hannah's room." said Lord Ambrose, clearly and loudly, _"excepf j such things as I have personally giv.n to him." TT tlugn looked at hlln, and tnen at, mnnai', who smiled meekly after the manner of an In- nocent man relieved from unjust suspicion. Then Hugh shrugged his shoulders. It wa," no affair of his, he supposed, whether Led Ambrose chose to prosecute his valet or to shelter him and yet the incident struck him as sufficiently curious What had Hannah said to his master to -nelkfl Lord Ambrose so docile, to appease him f, quickly, when his anger had seemed so just before? What had Lord Ambrose rr "0 by his excited exclamation about becoming 11:>- richest man the world has ever known? "Yes, constable," Lord Ambrose continu.?^ in the same loud and decided voice, "I think wo may take it there has been nothing weso here than a drunken freak. There is nothing missing from the house, and no harm has b--ot-: done. I am only sorry you have been troubled at all;" and as he spoke he produced ab-e~«„iy a couple of sovereigns at which lie looked u: a meditative manner The constable fell in with this theory quite readily. He felt somehow that the flower girl's story repeated to his superiors would not be likeiv to win for him their enthusiastic approv- al, so he contented hivoself with taking the I' names and addresses of all present, writin." down the information in a big pocket book. When it came to the flower girl's turn, she gave her name as Betsy Jones, and her ad- dress as somewhere in Battersea. "And please may I go now?" she asked, when this ceremony was completed. "If there is no charge, I suppose the young woman may go, my lord?" said the policeman looking at Lord Ambrose. "You don't intend to let her go like that?" cried Hugh "how do you know the name and address she gave are correct' "If you will come with me. sir," said the flower girl with a curtsey, "T,)Ii can see IN yourself if I have told the truth." w"Why, so I will, then," said Hugh, locking at her eteadlily, but he was disconcerted when she turned away her head and smiled. There was some more Siut the house- maid was the only person there desirous of ing the flower girl detained ill custody, and housemaid Was In a hopele-n minority. The cook, won by curtseys, was openly on flower girl's side; the polioer.-i-i: aware of two sovereigns in his pocket, w;{;t-l only to make sure that his superiors shcui, not hear her version of her capture and escape of the two negroes ( Lord Ambrose, t. amtn- able to his valet's least hint, appeared anxious only to get rid of her; while Hannah himself. under pretence of giving the boy who had acted as messenger some fruit and cake in addition to his shilling, had slipped away with him to the kitchen. As for Hugh, he know not what he desired, and knew only that his blood tingled in his veins at the idea of wan- dering away into the heart of mysterious and lonely London by the side of this strange flower girl. His oousin, Delia Hetherington, he had forgotten so completely as though she had never existed. After a little more discussion so it was ar- ranged, and Hugh, with the flower girl by his side, went out of the house and down the drivc and out of the postern-gate. They went to- gether to the end of the street and there the flower girl made to turn to the left. "But Bafcetrsea is over there," said Hugh, pointing to his right where the river lay. "So it is," she agreed cheerfully, "how clever of vou to know that." "You said you lived there," observed Hugh, nearly as red in the face as the polioeman had been. "One says so many t-hingv, doesn't one?" she remarked confidentially; "but do you know I am glad that you are coming with me?" "Why-?" he asked quickly. "Because I should not feel quite safe by my- self," she answered, "with that man Hannah following behind and trying not to be seen." "Hannah following us?" asked Hugh quick- ly, and frowning. "Nonsense." "Well, see," she said, and drew him sharply round the corner of a street they had just come to and into the dark doorway of a shop that was now closed. They only waited there an instant and then steps were heard approaching; swift, furtive steps. A moment later Hannah himself hur- rierf .round the corner, evidently supposing they were just ahead of him. "Ask him why he is following us?" prompted the flower girl in Hugh's ear. This had been Hugh's own impulse and he acted on it on the instant. Jumping out of the doorway, he called to Hannah, who start- ed, first seemed inclined to run, and then turn- ed back. "Where is she ?" he cried excitedly, for be could only see Hugh. "Never you mind," said Hugh in a great rage, "what do you mean by dodging me like that ? You scoundrel, you; I have a good mind to shake the very life out of you." He advanced, tall and threatening, and Han- nah jumped back. "Don't you touch me!" he cried. "I only wanted to see that there girl didn't slip you. Where is she? Has she done you already 1" "Certainly' not," said Hugh with dignity, "she warned me you were following us, and now you take yourself home, unless you want a thrashing." "You fool, you," said Hannah, with such a oonosntrated scorn and rage that Hugh was fairly taken aback, "she has given you the slip already—where is she, then' "Why, here," said Hugh, turning to the door- way. But the doorway was black and dark and? empty of all save shadows, and from far away it seemed to Hugh he heard a faint, low laugh travel to him on the wings of the night. "Well, I'm blessed," said Hugh. Then he! flew into a rage. "This is your fault, confound' you!" he shouted at Hannah. His aspect was so threatening that Hannah1 straightway bolted; and in a very bad temper! with himself and all the world, Hugh went homje, and found when he arrived at his lodg- ings a telegram awaiting him. He opened it and read: "Papa wants to see vou to-morrow evening. -Delia" j He screwed the paper into a ball and flung it away and wect to bed.
