him, an explanation would necessarily
have ensued the moment he mentioned
Vincent's name to her; but that nn.
lucky deception had complicated the
mischief beyond repair. 1t was too
late now to tell him she did not love
Vincent; he would only think her
false or tickle. A woman who could
act as she had done, or as she appeared
TO have done, was no wife for Henry
Elliott.
There is no saying, but it is just pos
sible, that an entire confidence placed
in Mr.. Gaskoin might have led to a
happier issue; but her own conviction
that her position was irrecoverable.
her hopelessness and her pride, closed
her lips. Her friends saw that there
was something wrong; and when q
few lines from Major Elliott announced
his Immediate departure for Paris, they
Econcluded that some strange mystery
had divided the lovers, and clouded the
hopeful future that for a short period
had promised so brightly.
Vincent Dunbar was not a man 10
break his heart at the disappointment
which, it is needness 10 say awaited
him. Long years afterwards, when Sir
Henry Elliott was not only married,
but had daughters coming out in the
world, he, one day at dinner-party,
sat next pale-faced, middle aged lady,
whose still beautiful features. combined
with the quiet, almost grave elegance
of her toilet, had already attracted his
attention in the drawine-room. 1t was
countenance of perfect serenity; but
no observing eye could look at it with
out feeling that that was a serenity net
born of JOY, but of sadness-a calm
that had succeeded storm-a peace
won by great battle. Sir Henry felt
pleased when he saw that the fortunes
of the diuner-table had placed him be-
side this lady, and they had not been
long seated before he took an apportu-
nifty of addressing her. Her eyelids
fell as she turned 10 answer him; but
there was a sweet, monrnful smile on
her lip-a smile that awoke strange
recollections, and made his heart for a
moment stand STILL For some minutes
he did not speak again, nor she either;
when he did, it was 10 ask her. in a
low, gentle voice, 10 take wine with
him. The lady's hand shook visibly as
she raised her glass; but, after short
interval, the surprise and the pang
passed away, and they conversed calmly
on general subjects, like other people
in society. @
When Sir Henry returned TO the
drawing-room, the pale faced lady was
gone; and. few days afterwards, the
Morning Post announced among its de-
partures that Miss Seymour had left
London for the continent.
