He went towards the house, leaving
his little sweetheart more puzzled than
ever.
AS Raoul supposed, the duke and
duchess were enjoying the sight Of the
young peoples happiness, aud perhaps
recalling their own youthful days and the
old dreams Of love and the future that
had once absorbed them.
"Did not tell you that you would find
our child prettier and more charming
than everl" said the duchess, rs Raoul
entered the dining room.
"And you were right, dear aunt as
usual Adrienne is lovely. Sometimes
fear that you will not care to trust her to
me, but, indeed, if she were mine, | would
be very careful of her. would make
her happiness my first object"
"Why. Raoul, we have never changed
our intentions with regard to you and
Adrienne, for reasons which we will not
mention, you are better fitted than any
one else could be to guard her from any
grief or trouble. Then, again, you have
always known and loved each other. and
we understand you, Raoul, and appreciate
the nobility Of your character. | see

duchess, who shrugged her shoulders and
smiled.
"You must ask the chanionesse, Ar

beautiful, accomplished, and exactly sew

is attached to her She has no parents,
remembers none, and has no home but the
college. For these reasons l have sent
an invitation TO the good chanionesse,

Raoul quickly took the unnecessary
advice, and joined Adrenne under the
pleasant trees, Here they took their
lunch very comfortably, waited upon and
watched over by the faithful O'Rourke,
whose admiration for Raoul was only sur.
passed by that for his young mistress.
Adrienne was still very pale, but was
anxious TO think and talk Of other
, subjects,
