mas attention entered. He was tall, slender n
and fair, lemininely so, had it not been for
the regularity and expression Of the we-de-

liant eyes, ,and the broad brow upon which the
light, silken hair, soft MS woman's, was
thrown carelessly back. without feeling astrane
power of attraction. He was scarcely two
and twenty, yet the grave character OF that
youthful face gave him the appearance OF an
loder man. He looked already like one who

Beatrice formed q striking contrast to this
youthful yet severe figure. Below the mid

centre of the room, as Walter LyndhurSt ap-

"Nay, have already fingered longer than

Beatrice laid her hanu quickly OIL MS ann
and spoke in hurried, eager accents as sue
gazed Ieproachfully into his face.
: Walter, you are cold and stern 10 me TO-
