and the parlor maifl tripped over to Mr.
Kendal with a cafd «pon the salver.
Had it been a message from a wahat-
ma, precipitated through the substan-
tial ceiling under which he sat, he could
r.ot have been more astounded. Sudden-

darted through the door.
There in the hall, looking iy and pale,
but obviously in the highest spirits his
feebleness permitted, stood Arthur Dur-

It jswCiRlth a mingling of blank
astonishment and distant, constraint
that Mr. Kendal met the young man's
cordial greeting.
" But Florence, with a little scream,
ran at him, and was caught in an em-
brace which she returned with an inter-

against the father's chilliness.
"My word! it was an adventure,

"Where's ."Arthur?" she demanded,
