It is an ill wind, saya the old proverb, that blows nobody any good. Tho wind that retarded tiio Guernsey boats wan blowing tho roucH into Roiiny'ti cheeks and joy into Jaoynth's heart, when it suddenly lifted and a great calm fell upon laud and sua. Looking from the balcony Fenollu saw the lake in tho "opponite purk whining in the distance like a silver shield, and refiucted that at the name time next evening alio would probably lie watching it with' hor huuband by her aide. Ronny was now running about iu the full oxcrciHo of a convuloncent'a privi leges, and tyrannizing over his mother and his friend upon the principle that ho wau to live at Ida ease, to do uh ho pleased, and 4,not tu bo worried, the doctor nay*," With tho recuperative force of childhood be seemed hourly to grow and expand, and many were tho convoraalionu that Fenolla had with Jacynth upon the subject of his future training. Sht noticed that a word from tho latter wont farther than a whole clmptor of expoktulaliorju from herself; and fell uncoimciouuly into'the habit of refer ring the little boy lo his friend upon evoty oamiiion. 'It auiv bo ihajt, as uho watched tho tiky thia oveiling, aho was wouuering what Uonny would do when tlio firm and f;ontle iufitiencn that waa lo beneficial to um wuh removed [ and altngutber 10 ab- Boibod waa alio in her thoughts that sho did not oven hoar Jacyutli'n stop approach ing until he won by hor side. Then she turned her face, trunnfigiirud by the sun light glow, and looked at him with quen* tionlng eyes. Jaoynth's faco waa vory grave. thoro was bad news' written in every lino. He bold a telegram iu hiu hand, and Fonalla, with a itudduu netiau of icy chilliness invading - hor forohead and cheeks, took it from film without a word. Jaoynth; seeing her bo white, thought , she wau about to faint, and forced hor gently back into a chair. Tho telegram was brief, an tolograma are wont to he, even when infinite joy and >or- row aro coinprespod into thorn. "Lord On slow seriously ilit" it said. "Adviae Lady Ounlow to como at onto." "Oh, why," wan Fouolla'a first thought, "hud uho not gone sooner! Why. had sho allowod herself to take,it for granted that the winds mid tho waves wore the cause of the long delay! Might not hor heart have told her that Etomo utrouger potvor t!u*n ihouo watt holding her husband buck? Had sho oven once taken tho troublo to verify for herself the list of the arrivals and de partures on tho Guenwoy boats. ' What nelfiahnoss, what apathy, what Indlfferonce, ubu! sho has boon guilty of." Thoro woro tho self-uphraiJinRflJthat pursued her all the time hIio was making hor hurried and eager preparations fur departure, Jaoynth bad csaayed, in his usual calm and kindly fauh- ion, to reassure her against her worst tears, but he could not entur into > the subtler causes of her romorao. Ronny, in morbid terror of being takon to sea again, behav ed, wverthlosa, liko a man, when Jacynth allowed him,that it wus his duty to take euro of hiu mother. That vory night ho, Fonuiln,.ftttd tho child,who.were no used by thin time to puBsing forMonsiaur, Mudame, et Bebu that they almost felt liko the per- annages'they a'timulated, loft Liverpool for London. A'privilege children share with animals is their inability to realize the moaning of sickuciiB and sorrow, or suiTerihg, at a dis tance. (Though Ronny knew that ho waa being taken to boo "Poor papa, who was ill,"Ids knowledge did not bring home to him in.uny way the iuct that ho was in danger of loaiug hirr father. Fenolla'a pres cience waa kooni'r; the words "seriously ill" puniued hor like a maddoning refrain throughout tho whole long journey. In vain Jiioynth reprosonted to Iter that "seri'iunly" did not signify tho name thing uu "danger- ouuly," For tho first time since ho jiud known hor, uho showed a disposition to Va lient ids connolatory speoclies. On tho ntenmer slip hid herself away in the ludimt1 cabin, a procooding which Jacynth know.to be contrary to all hor , insiinctn, and left him to smoke his cigar forlornly oa the deck, Sho would not even give him the fiohico of tuking churgo of.
