GREYS TONE HALL.
CHAPTER III.


| The Hall was empty for fifteen years
this time. Dir. Treylynn's little son and
heir did not reach Italy, but died on the
route. That was great grief to Marg'
ret.
Roger Raine lost his father and moth
Ter, and was very lonely. That, too, was
a great grief to Marg'ret
1t was glad day for Roger, faithful
tor more than twice seven years, when
he received orders for great alterations
at the Hail. Mr.. Treylynn was coming
home. Ills daughter had been recon-
mcnded "A ulore bracing climate.
Mr. Treylynn brought to England
with him II nephew, his eldest sisters
son by an 1talla.l husband. This Cgo
Leopard was a widower; and his little
daughter Viola, and an Italian woman,
her goyerness, accompanied him. Clara
freylynn, very lovely girl, looked q
most fair lily among the dark hued house
hold--a lily among thorns, that might
rend and destroy her, Marg'rct consid-
cred her TO be. Marg'ret, woman Of
i've and thirty then, watched this fair
blossom most jealousy, for she had long
suspected that Mr.. Cgo loved his cousin
after his dry fashion, and meant that
she should be his little daughters step
mother. This idea filed Marg'ret with
Iindescribable horror
The fair Clara herself was too Young
and gay to be troubled about such mat
tiers. If ever Mr.. Ugo's eyes and mouth
smiled honestly together, it was when he
noticed the strong attachment subsisting
between his cousin and his child.
And MIR. Treylynn? Was an old and
icare-worn looking man when ne return
ed to Greystone Hall. He had never
shown many signs of affection for his
beautiful daughter; but Margaret noticed
that his eyes often followed her about
the room with restless watchfuiness
after he returned to Greystone.
The family had come to the Hall in
early spring. The Christmas time of the
house being inhabited again passed
quietly, without anything being heard Of
the SNOW Lady. There was no snow
on the ground. Only Marg'ret and Ro-
ger, perhaps, thought of and dreaded
her appearance. In fifteen years most
Of the stories about her had been forgot
ten; many Of those who would have re
inembered them having left the neigh
borhood.
AS time went on, CLARA Treylynn had
many admirers. Her loneliness, and her
sweet winning manners, attracted many
who would otherwise have stunned the
gloomy master of Greystone Hall, and
gay pa. ties Of fair ladies and noble gen
tlemen made the old place bright and
CHEEKY.
Miss Treylynn' heart remained whole
and free, and Marg'ret began, to fear
that, III the end, Ignorant OF love and
wiieiy duty, she would marry her cousin;
and she thought too, that Mr.. Ugo in
tefpretcd this indifference towards others

Iexacting, and somewhat insolent, IN his
manner iowa 4 her. When Miss
Clara one day appealed to her father,
half III jest, half III earnest, against her
cousins tyranny, she was hidden to do
what her cousin wished, with face far
too stern for the occasion This greatly
troubled wise, and apprehensive Marg'-
ret. She was very glad when Lady
rCevor came home from abroad, aud
came to stay at the Hall. Lady Trevor
had been Mrs. Treylynn's most intimate
friend. Her son and, two daughters
came to Greys'one with her. This was
early III the second summer of the res
ldence of the family at the Hail.
The gallant bearing and fine, frank
face OF young Sir Raymond Travor in
clined Marg'ret to look on him with
favor, and to hope that her young lady
might do the same.
Well remember everything happen
ing on that visit of the Treyors, Marg'-
ret said

One evening, waen they d been here
about week, the weather being very
tine and warm, Lady Trevor proposed
that tea should be taken ON the terrace,
Miss Clara, Sir Raymond, and the
Misses Trevor were delighted at the
idea.
"All that day, riding or walking, or
sitting, young Sir Raymond had tried in
vain TO get near Miss Clara. Mr. Ugo' S
gloomy watching thwartcd him ut every
turn. Now, rs soon as ever his mother
had made the proposal, he armed HIM
self with two chairs, set them in 4 snug
corner of the terrace, made my young
lady take one, sat himself in the other,
and looked across at Mr.. Ugo with Il

Young Sir Raymond took Viola on
his knee, and looked very happy sitting
by Miss Clara. The child asked dues-
tons, and he drew the young lady on to
talk, too-kis own good face looking
