broad land who pray earnestly, daily,
{" lead US not into temptationP They
may be pure In heart and uublemisbed
in reputation, but still the tempter will
sometimes come in spite ofevery watch

thus tempted read the trials and stFug-
giles of our heroine, and it will not only
interest them deeply, but render them
stronger, purer, snd better fitted to

7 On fine day 10 the fall Of the year,
Lord and Lady Carisbrook were seat
ed under the shade Of a spreading
beech tree, in the gardens attached to
Caldecott Hall, which was the name of
their ancestral abode His lordship
vas readiugsa letter he had received
from his brother in London, and when
he had completed Its perusal, he ex-
claimed
Hilbert says in his letter, my dear,
chat he has dis patched to Us Sir Charles
EyandeTra young barouet of whom /
have heard something. Tie is friend
Of Hubert's who knows his mother very
veil and he wishes him to be kept for
some time in the country, if possible,
as the delights of London are rapidly
demoraiizing him.
4 shall be glad to extend our hospi-
tality to any friend of your brother
HubeGt's answered Lady Carisbrook,
Who never contradicted her husband in
anything.
The letter goes on to say, continued
bis lOrdship, that his mother, Lsdy
Evander, wishes him to renew his az
qusintance with the St. Aubyn, who
i've near,us. Sir Charles aud Lily st.
Aubyn mstain town, and if a match
could be arranged between them, it
would be most desirable
We wil do what we can, said her
ladysf'p, favoring her husband with a
sweet smile. i am sure we have been
so happy during the welded life, dear.
est Albert, that-we need have no COM
junction in inducing two young people
10 unite themselves together
After some further conversation it
was decided that they would gladly re-
ceive Sir Charles Evander as guest,
and do all they could to make him for
get the delights of the town by intro
ducing to his notice the many charms
Of a country life.
A week elapsed and Sir Charles
Evander arrived at caldecott Hall.
He was tall, handsome, well-made,
and had that indescribable, easy, we'll
bred air, which can only be acquired
from moving in the best cociety, There
was magic in his eyes, and Lady Caris-
brook had not been in his company
half-an-hour before she felt fascinated
by his glance, and turning away with a
shuddeT, said to herself;
That is indeed a man for a woman to
love. How happy should Miss st Au-
byn be with such suitor.'
Lord Carisbrook found the young
baroness society as agreeable as did his
wife.
Young as he was, he had seen a great
deal of the world, which had made him
somewhat of a cynic. In reality he
dazzled, rather than made a real i'm
preston on his friend, for there was
nothing genuine or sincere about him.
He turned everythiDgeintO ridicule and
laughed at VerybOdy.
Garisbrook soon discovered that he
was an accomplished sportsman, aud
the amusements of the city had not
rendered him in any way effsminate.
They went out together on shooting
expeditions, and always came back with
full bag, Sr Charles being an excel
lent shot, aud thoroughly at home with
dog and gun.
There were 50 many places on the
estate to 90 to, so much. to see, and so
much to do during Sir Charles Evan
der's first week at Callecott, that Lily
St Aubyu was forgotten until Lady
.CaFisbrook exclaimed:
FWe have some most agreeable neigh
bors, Evander, to whom shall feel de-
lighted to introduce you. Among
Others l may mention the st. Aubyns.
'of Rock Hillp said Sir Charles
Yes; have met them, and shall be
glad to renew the acquaintance. Lily
|is fine girl, and she assisted me to pass
some time very pleasantly in London.'
I'VE will invite them to meet you at
dinner, Sir Charles, exclaimed Lady
Carisbrook. But you must not sup
pose that we have any design upon
your heart 10 bringing you in contact
with the most lovely young lady in this
part of the country.
Sir Charles Eyaudef laughed and
made answer: 4 do not think 1 am 50
impressiohable as you seem TO imagine
aIthougt'f viii own myself susceptible
of a Woman's charms
Z Presently Lord Carisb rock went to
the other end Of the room, and Evan
der had an. an.oppOrtunity of saying in a
low tone:
My heart is gone already, Lady Car
isbrook.
1ndeedl Since when, may I ask 7
she replied, with a slight elevation Of
