away over tho gr^st toward tho lake,
wlviv l. ili had now stopped.
Tl-ero v.mi* a little bridge at ouo point
wh-re the lake narrowed, and Lali, evi-
deutly seeing it p.!l at ^-c, went to-
ward it and ran up on it, standing
jwi.-od above tho water about the mid-
He of it. For an instant an unpleasant
possibility tamo into Marion's mind—
<np[>oso the rscitetl girl intended sui-
•itk! S!:e hhiveml as she thought of it,
mil yet— iSlie put that horribly cruel j
unl sellish thought away fom her with ,

lako. tl> ve r.lio slackened and waved !
her hand pluvfnlly to the girl, so as not
ro frighten lit r, and then with a forced
iaiiij.h eaiiv- t:p ; anting on the bridge
tnd w;v« piVM utly by Lati's side. Lali
■yed l-.fi a httlo furtively, but seeing
ihat Mar, hi was much inclined to be
ih asant si-.o notlderl to her, said some
Indian v.Mr W hastily and spread out
it r hands toward tho water. As she did
0 Iiiarion nciticed again tho beauty of
"hose hands and the graceful character
if the **' r.fr.re, so much s«j that she for-
»t th -lhit '.inir, and the unstayed body,
iml the r.a In r broad feet, and the deli-
cto tlns!:imss, which had so worked on
1 t in imr gination and in fact tlieeven-
ng I.cfore. Sho put her hand kindly on
hat long slim hand stretched out beside
n r. and l>< catiso she knew not what
•be to sp*:.k and because tho tongue is
vt ry [x rveise at times, saying the oppo-
site of what is expected, she herself
blundered i at, "Bow, how, Lali!"
tVrhap* Lali was as much surprised
at the remark as Marion herself and
certainly very much more delighted. I
The sound of those familiar words,
spoken by accident, as they were, opened ]
tho way lo a better understanding as
nothing else could possibly have doue. !
Marion v. ;-..; annoyed at herself and yet j
.1 invalid t«.o. if her mind had been per- j
feeiiy a.-.urid regarding Captain Vi-
dttll, it is prt'huhle that then and there a
peculiar, a genial, comradeship would
liuve l» en formed. As it was, Marion
found t!m little event more endurable
ban kite exjKtttd. Kho also found that
•a'i. when she laughed in pleasant ac- I
Uowledgineiit of that "How" had re- j
aarkahly white and regular teeth. In-
Iced M'triou Armour began to discover
tome estimable points in the appearance
,f h< r savage sister-in-law. Marion re-
narked t.j herself that Lali might be a
athir striking person if she were dress-
d, r.s b« r mother said, in Christian gar-
nents tuid could speak tho English lan-
;u»go well—iuiiI was somebody else's
iiBttr-in-law
At this point Mackenzie came breath-
lessly to the bridge and called out a
sharply to Lali, rebuking her. In this
Mackenzie made a mistake, for not only
did Lali draw hereelf up with consider-
able dijmity, but Marion, noticing the
masterful nature of tho tone, instantly
said: "Mackenzie, you must remember
that you are rpeaking to Mrs. Francis
Armour, and that her position in Gen-
eral Armour's house is the same as
mine I hope it is not necessary to say
anything moro, Mackenzie "
Mackenzie flushed. She was a sensi-
ble woman. She knew that she had done
wrong, and she said very promptly: "I i
am very sorry, misa. I was flustered,
and 1 expect 1 haven't got used to speak- .
ing to—to Mrs. Armour as I'll be sure
to do in the futura "
As she spoke two or three deer came
trotting out of the beeches down to the
lakeside If Lali waa pleased and ex-
CHcn tie I ore, sue was oveiVhtTImOd now.
Her breath canto in quick gasps. She
laughed, she tossed her hands, she seem
ed to become dizzy with delight, and
presently, as if this new link with and
reminder of her past had moved her as
one little expects a savage heart is mov-
ed, two tears gathered in her eyes, then
slid down her cheeks unheeded and dried
there ill tho sunlight as she still gazed
at tho deer Marion, at lirst surprised,
was now touched, as she could not ha^e
thought it possible concerning this wild
creature, and her hand wein out and
caught Laii's gently. this genuine
act of sympathy, inniuctively felt by
Laii—the bUai'^r in a strange land,
husband! and yet a widow—there
came u flood of tears, and dropping on
her knees she leaned against the low
railing of tho bridge and wept silently
So passionless was her griif it seemed
tho more pathetic, and Marion dropped
on her knees beside her, put her arm
round her shoulder and said: "Poor
girl! Poor girl!"
At that La!i caught her hand and
held it, repeating alte r her the words:
"Poor girl! l\>orgirl!"
She did n, t quite wderstand them,
but she reiueu-.N red tl A once just be-
fore she parted troni her husband at the
great lakes he had said those very
words. If the fates had apparently given
things into Frank Armour's hands when
he sacrificed this girl to his revenge,
they were evidently inclined to play a
game which would eventually defeat
his purpose, wicked as it I ad been in
effect if not in absolute motive. What
the end of this attempt to engraft the
Indian ^irl upon the strictest conven-
tion of English social life would have
been had her introduction not been at
Greyhope, where faint likenesses to her
part surrounded her, it is hard to con-
jecture. But from present appearances
it would setni that Richard Armour
w* not wholly a false prophet, for the
savage had shown herself that morning
to possess in their crude-nets some st.ik-
Ing qualities of character. Given char-
acter, many things arc possible, even to
those who are not of the elect.
This was tho beginning of better
'.hings. Lali seemed to the Armours not
juite so impossible now. Had sho been
if tho very common order of Indian,
"pure and simple, "the task had re-
rolved itself into making a common
savage into a very common European.
Cut whatever Lali was it wa? abun-
dantly evident that sho must be reckoned
with at all points, and that sho was
moro likely to become a very startling
figure in the Armour household than a
mere encumbrance to be blushed for,
whoso eternal absence wcro preferable
to her company.
Years after that first morning Marion
caught herself shuddering at the
thought that came to her when sho saw
Lali hovering on tho bridge. Whatever
Marion's faults were, she had a fine dis-
like of anything that seemed unfair.
She had not ridden to hounds for noth-
ing. Sho had at heart the sport man's
instinct. It was upon this basis indeed
that liichard appealed to her in the first
trying days of Laii's life among them.
To oppose your will to Marion on the
basis of superior knowledge was only to
turn her into a rebel, and a very effect-
ive rebel she made, for sho had a pretty
gift at the retort courteous, and she
could take as much and as well as she
gave She rebelled at first at assisting
in Laii's education, though by fits and
starts she would teach her English
words and help her to form long sen-
tences and was on the whole quite pa-
tient But Laii's real instructors were
Mrs. Armour and Richard; her best,
Richard.
The first few days she made but little
progress, for everything was strange to
her, and things made her giddy—the
servants, tho formal routine, the hand-
some furnishings, Marion's music, tho
great house, the many precise personal
duties set for her to be got through at
stated times and Mrs. Armour's rather
grand manner. But there was the relief
to this, else the girl had pined terribly
for her native woods and prairies. Thia
was the park, the deer, the lake, the
hares and birds. While she sat saying
over after Mrs. Armour words and
phrases in English or was being shown
how she must put on and wear the
sashes which a dressmaker from Regent
street had been brought to make, her
eyes would wander dreamily to the
trees, and the lake, and the grass. They
soon discovered that she would pay no
attention and was straightway difficult
to teach if she was not placed where she
conld look out on the park. They had
uo choice, for though her resistance was
never active it was nevertheless effect-
ive.
Presently she got on very swiftly
with Richard, for he, with instinct
worthy of a woman, turned their les-
sons upon her own country and Frank.
This cost him something, but it had its
reward. There was no more listlessnoss.
Previously Frank's name had scarcely
been spoken to her. Mrs. Armour would
have hours of hesitation and impotent
regret before i;ho brought herst-lf to
.-] • ak of her s>on to his Indian wife.
Marion tried to do it a lew times and
failed. The general did it with rather
a b leed voice raid ni:«nner, because he
saw that his wife was very tender upon
the point But Richard, who newr
knew self consciousness, spoke freely of
Frank when ho spoke at all, and it was
seeing Laii's eyes brighten and her look
earnestly fixe.I on him when he chanced
to mention Frank's name »hai determin-
ed him oil his new u;. :ho:l of instruc-
tion. It had itsjJSngers, but he had cal-
culated thuj'. all. The girl must be edu-
cated at all co.^ts. The sooner that oc-

He succeeded admirably. Striving
to tell him about her past life and
ri ady to talk cndies.dy about In r hus-
band, of his prowe.-s in the hunt, of his
strength and beauty, she also strove to
find English words for the purpose, and
Richard supplied them with uncommon
willingness. lie humored her so far as
to learn many Indian words and phrases,
but he was chary of his use of them and
tried hard to make her appreciative o!

watched her waking slowing to an un
der.-taudiug of the life and of all that
it involved. It g. ve him a kind of fear,
too, becau. e she was sensitive, and
there was the possible danger of her
growing disheartened or desperate anil

cause, for slowly there came into Laii's
mind the element of comparison. She
became conscious of it one day when
some neighboring people called at Urey-
hope. Mrs Armour, in her sense of
duty, which she had rigidly set before
tier, introdve. d L..;i iuto tho drawing

She brotxleil on it. Now she sat down-
cast and timid and hunted in face 'ii.-
the first evening she came. Now she
app< art d restless ami excited.
If Mrs. Armour was not exactly sym-
pathetic with her, sho was quiet and
forbearing, and General Armour, like
Richard, tried to draw her out—but not
uu the same subjects. He dwelt upon
what she did—the walks she took in
the park those hours in tho afternoon
when, with Mackenzie or Colvin, she
vanished into tho beeches, making
friends with the birds and deer and
swans. Cut most of all she loved to go
to the stables. She was, however, asked
not to go unless liichard or General Ar-
mour was with her. She loved horses,
and these were a wonder to her. She
had never known any but the wild un-
gioomed Indian pony on which she had
riddc-n in every fashion and over every
lind of country. Mrs. Armour sent for
a riding master and had riding costumes
made for her. It was intended that she
should ride every day as soon as sho
seemed sufficiently presentable. This
did not appear so very far off, for she
improved daily in appearance. Her hair
was growing liner and was made up in
tiie modest prevailing fashion. Her
skin, not now exposed to an inclement
climate and subject to the utmost care,
was smoother and fairer. Her feet, in-
cased in fine, well made boots, looked
much smaller, her waist was shaped to
fashion, and she was very straight and
lissom. So many things she did jarred
on her relatives that they were'f ot fully
aware of the great improvement in her
appearanca Even Richard admitted her
trying at times.
Marion went up to town to stay witn
Airs. Townley, and there had to face a
good deal of curiosity. People looked
at her sometimes as if it was she and
not Lali that was an Indian. But she
carried things off bravely enough and
answered those kind inquiries which
one's friends make when we are in em-
barrassing situations with answers so
calm and pleasant that people did not
know what.to /Kink
