"He wouldn't wait to be telegrap e liessy's been his favourite child since marriage. Of course he would g° now. Besides, there's the will- to be in at the reading of that." An^ gave a short laugh, which had a good e of bitterness in it, CHAPTER VH. Mr. Reynolds did not go straight to his ,daughter's house on arriving in Venice. The telegram informing him of Mr. L:neal's death had come from Mr. Pertly, with the address of his hotel attached; and it was to this hotel that. Mr. Reynolds made his way. He did not aak for Mr. Pcrtiy immediately .01\ his arrival. He wa.s hungry and travel- stained and very weary after his long journey. So it was not until after a leisurely breakfast and a toilet made with all his usual care that he sent up his card to the lawyer, requesting the favour of a short interview. "I did not like to startle my daughter by going to her at once," he explained, when Mr. Pertly had received him in the little private room which Mr. Lineal had ordered beforehand for him on the best floor of the hotel. "And, for the same reason. I did not telegraph. You will probably be going there this morning. Wilt you tell her I am here? I started from home the hour after your tele- gram arrived." "I was going to Mrs. Lineal almost at once," the lawyer replied. Be wondered why Mr. Reynolds should suppose that his daughter needed to have the news of his arrival broken to her so carefully. The lawyer himself had been amazed at her self-command through the trying events of few days. Her father seemed much more effected than even she had been. Mr. Pertly was skilled in the signs of inward citation, and be noticed how Mr Reynolds's • r s twitched HOW and then, and how the lender, exquisitely-cared-for hand shook •be pushed back his hair I'rom his forehead. l How unlike father and daughter were, the lawyer thought, as his keen eyes rested on the visitor! This slim, fair, blue-eyed man was altogether of a differ- ent type. Not such a. good type either. lItrs, Lineal was cold and proud, perhaps; but .she had honest eyes, not shifty, uncertain °Ues like those which were watching him now *ith such badly-concealed anxiety in them. "The funeral is over. It took place last evening," he said, while these thoughts were Passing through his mind. "There is not ftiuch delay allowed here." "Yes-I feared I should be too late. There tvas some delay at Paris. How is my daughter? And Miss Lineal—how is she?" "It was a great shock," the lawyer answered. "Miss Dorothy had been ill. I have not seen her. Mrs. Lineal is as wel! as we could expect, I think. We have had a great deal of business to do together. I have found her singularly clear-headed and business-like." I "Yes—she was always tha,t," Mr. Reynolds Replied. He paused, as if he expected the lawyer to go on; but Mr. Pertly did not speak. "You say you have had a. great deal of business," Mr. Jleynolds remarked, after a foment. "I hope there have been no com- plications. But poor Lineal wasn't a man to leave his worldly affairs unsettled." No-lie was not a man to do that," Mr. Pertly agreed. "You know, perhaps, tha; he has just made a new wiJJ." Mr. Reynolds did not know it; but he refrained from admitting the fact. "Whatever he has done ig rightly done." he remarked, stntentiously. "One can be sure of that." "Just so," said the lawyer. He was lean- ing back in his chair, pressing the tips of his lingers lightly together in turn. It was a favourite attitude of his while conversing with clients. "You are aw.re, of course, that there was no settlement on my daughter?" Mi. Rey- nolds went on, his impatience getting the better of him. "I trusted Lineal too much to insist on that." Still the lawyer was silent, and Mr. Rey- nolds was forced to ask the question that had been uppermost in his mind from the moment he heard of his son-in-law's death, though it would have pleased him much better if the lawyer had told him unasked. "But perhaps you would give me the exact details of the will, Mr. Pertly?" "With pleasure," the lawyer returned. "It is a very simple will. There are some legacies to relatives and to old servants; but the bulk of the property is divided between the children, the boy having rather the larger share. Mr. Lineal was a very rich man as you are aware, and the property could well bear dividing. Miss Dorothy has no mean fortuno for her share." Mr. Reynolds interrupted him sharpfv. The twitching of his lips was more apparent now. Re found it difficult to control his voice. "And L"v daughter?" Mrs. Lineal is made the sole guardian of .j< I the children, with a. life interest in the Clyde estate," the lawyer returned, gravely. "By the wiU my late client made shortly after his marriage, she had the share now left to her son. There is no breach of confidence in my saying that Mr. Lineal altered this will to meet the wishes of his wife." "Then she was a fOOt The words broke from Mr. Reynolds's lips before he could check them. He added lamely, "But most women are foois where money is concerned; and, if Elizabeth is content, why, I am." "Just so," replied the lawyer, repeating a favourite formula of his. I For a. moment Mr. Reynolds made no further remark about the will. He could not trust himself to speak of it. He picked up his hat and went towards the door. "I wont t detain you any longer, Mr. Pertly." Well, I ought to be moving," the lawyer replied. "I have an appointment with Mrs. Lineal at-twelve o'clock. Will you come with me now?" "No—you may tell her I am here, and ready to come to her this afternoon. I shall be glad of a little rest before I see her. I have travelled fa-st, and I am not so young as I was, I find. But he accompanied Mr. Pertly to the gondola steps. "There are trustees, of course," he asked, in a casual tone. after making a J-emark or two on the beauty of the weather, and the wonderful colour of the water. "Yes. I am one. Mr. Ward, my late client's cousin, is the other." "Ah, there are cousins! Do they come into the settlement at all?" "Only in the event of the son's dying with- out issue, and after Miss Dorothy's decease. If she survives the son, she inherits in the absence of direct heirs." said the lawyer. ''But this is my gondola. Won't you come with me now?" "ino-get your business over 5rst. You can tell me on your return how soon my daughter can see me." There was an indescribable bitterness in Mr. Reynolds's suave words." "It was rather hard on him," the old law- yer thought, as the gondola glided through the blue waters. "And she won't be able to help him much out of her income. If she lives at Clyde House, she'll find it hard to make both ends meet. I wonder why she insisted on having the money tied up like that? She has bound herself hand and foot. And poor Lineal would have left her half his fortune, or all of it for that matter, if she had raised her little finger." Dorothy was sitting in the saloon when Mr. Pertly entered it. She rose from her seat to receive him, but did not advance from the window. He hurried towards her. "Don't let me disturb you, I beg, Miss Dorothy! I am glad to see you down. This is brave of you!" "It is stupid to be so weak." she said; lor she. had sunk back into her seitt, her legs giving way under her. "I wanted to see you. I have some, questions to ask you." He urew a chair near her, and sat down, t "Of course there are questions you want to '¡ sk me," lie said. "And I shall be roady to answer any number of them presently. But let us wait a day or two. Just sit here and rest, and-" They were interrupted. Klin a came to say that Mrs. Lineal was ready to receive I' Mr. Pertly. She spoke in Italian, and the old lawyer looked at Dorothy for an inter- pretation. f "Though I understand wei! enough what she must mean," he said, rising without giving I Dolly time to speak. "( -vill have a talk another day, my cTear. You don't mind my calling you 'my dear,' do you? Why I knew you when you were that high, Miss Dorothv" —putting out his hand a couple of feet or so from the floor. ¡ He failed in his object if he wanted to call a smile on the girl's pale, sorrow-stricken face. "I must ask you one question," she said. Nina, wait outside, she added rapidly, in Italian, and tiien went on in English, turning: her eyes again upon the lawyer's face. i "Bently says that she—that Mrs. Lineal is I¡ my guardian. Does that mean that she can insist on my living with her ?" She spoke very rapidly, pressing her hands tightly together on the little table that stood in front of her. Air. Pertly saw what the question meant to her, and he hesitated over his answer. He had not thought much of the- relations between Mrs. Lineal and her step- daughter. He had assizer; that they got on more or less well together. f¡ "It was your father's wish that you should 1 live with her." | "I know," Doliy said. She added nothing to to at brief, painfully- uttered speech; and there was silence for a. moment. "Have you spoken to Mrs. Lineal?" the lawyer asked, after a pause. Dorothy shook her head. "I have not seen her. It is better that we should not see each other till—till The girl broke off, and the lawyer made no effort to get her to finish her sentence. He did not speak. "I want to go away," she went on. with a break in her voice. "You must ter.l her so, Mr. Pertly. I want to go back to England -to my aunts. I want to go at once, with- out seeing her. Bently can take me." The old lawyer shook his head. "My dear, you must be reasonable You cannot treat Mrs. Lineal so She has behaved very generously. I must tell you that." "I know," Dolly said, in a hard tone. "Bently has told me. I wish—I wish She suddenly averted her face. The lawyer saw that she was struggling vainly to keep back her tears. He was still standing, and he moved towards the door. "Yve won't say any more just now," he said, as if he had not perceived that she was cryng. "Bat I am sure Mrs. Lineal will want you to do what you like best. Miss Dorothy. Ai-.d, perhaps, a visit to your aunt. just, now but we will ta.lk of that again. And he hastened from the room. iTo be oontfinu&d). A

The proceeds from the tickets purchased for admission to Cardiff Castle grounds on the occasion of the Corpus Christ-i Festival were this year again devoted to a treat and prizes for the children attending the Catholic schools. A change in the locality of the tete had to be made on this occasion from Cat-hays Park, the site of the Cardiff Exhibi- tion to the Sophia. Garden Field. The enter- tainments for the children were of the usual character and were greatly erjoyed. KNOWN BY THE CURES t Sufferers from Gravel Lumha.¡ro, Piles, in the Pack.
