his mother begged so hard to enter he unfaste

and, after reading Thyra's letter, which ne
handed her, she knew the cause of it. Tt can
not be said but that she inwardly exulted over
the news of Thyra's marriage, but deplored the
effects OF 1t on the mind of her son. Indeed
she was gneyed to the hearts core to find him
in such a state, and she went beside him, wound
her arms tenderly about his neck, and strove to
cheer him with the kindest of words.

night to both mother and son, but each tried to
appear as cheerful as possible when they met
at breakfast and there were traces of great
mental suffering, particularly on the face of
Lord DaShier That day, and for DAYS to come,
he spent the greater part of his time alone in
the glen where he first met Thyra, seeming to be
come more and more melancholy, until his
mother feared his mind might become unbal-

accompany her ON tour to some distant part of
the universe it mattered little where, so his
mind couldbe diverted from his present troubles.

Lady Dashier, seeing the happy expression
on his face, resolved that she would not further
oppose him, although the match would be
dlstasteful one to her; but to see that melan-
chOy look dispelled from his loved face must
induce her to submit. Thus she left him in
London, without word of remonstrance. while
she continued on her way homeward to the
Hall at Ternway. It was rather late when lie

and she did not observe him until after he had
been seated some moments. Then their eyes
met, causing Thyra more agitation than she
could possibly conceal and she did not dare
look toward him again until she was through,
lest she might wholly break down. Dasher
too, took great pains to conceal himself as
much as he could but when the con. ert
closed, he did not lose much time in finding
her, and then the old, old story was retod and
the lovers were happier than ever before since
they had no further opposition to fear from
Lady Dashier.

following day, in the parlor of her boarding.

replied.
'Wen, will make one of your audience

''Then shall be doubly inspired, and may
sing you all to sleep"
Thus they talked in the happiest strains
when they were together, it seeming TO them
that never a cloud could again obscure their
| hfe-sky. The Counts name was seldom men
toned by either After Thyra received the let
| ter from Dashier reproducing her for marrying
the Count. and she realized that all the repre-
sensations in regard to the marriage of the
former were false, she at once separated from
Jannis, never seeing him but once or twice af-
ter. He located in New York, leading a reclI-
less, debauched life, till he was finally killed
in drunken brawl, after which she returned
| to England, to learn that Lord Dashier had
! gone abroad. At this intelligence she was at
| first very much disheartened, but it was moi
long before his return, and since then, as We
| have seen, her happiness had known nc
! bounds. The month succeeding wore swiftly
away, the fair singer becoming more and mord
popular, particularly after it was announced
that she was to marry LSrd Dashier. Lady
Dashier had called twice in the time to SEQ

but Beatrice and Edith Seyers did not care 10

sister, had grown into a beautiful young lady,
and was attending bOarding-schOOl in London
! where she was to remain two years. OF course
I she was one of Thyra's bridesmaids, and after

eye as she thought of the humble couple who
watched over her in her earliest years. How
