WON'T
This reply was delivered in n way that
finally closed the conversation, and Sophia
never dared again allude to the subject.
December drew to its close, and she saw
that her mother was more and more declining
in strength, and that even her Unsuitable APP
petite for the world itself was departing.
She no longer cared to hear the talk of the
town. Her beloved Morning Post would lie
day after day unopened. The little meals,
which she used to take with the eagerness Of
one who is determined to overcome illness,
were now languidly put aside to another
hour. She slept more frequently, and every
thing showed plainly that she was quitting
the stage of the world, where, a popular
actress indeed, she had SO long and 50 brill
liantly figured.

CHAPTER ".


1t was about the mi Idle Of January The
funeral was over, md Sophia was sitting
alone IN the little morning room which had
been her mothers lavorte SPOT Car and
Slbyl had gone home. and Goldmore was
down stairs in the library examining the old
lady papers, the greater portion of which
had only just now been obtained, as her
solicitor had been from home He had
arrived half an hour ago, AMI, together with
Godmore, was going into the affairs. Sophia
sat alone, full OF forcho1'ng and drcarnesS
1t was after four o'clock: the sky was sulen
and gray; a mist was rising all round the
house. Drealy, dreary world! Sophia's
heart went oif-aS it had done a hundred
times every day for months past-to Aus
tralia and Percival and that odious Mrs.
Lanigan. She had in her minds eye quite
picture of her rival: "A tall, handsome woman,
with free eyes, a high color and dark eve
brows and hair How could Percival have
liked such a creature! Then there was the
wonder which had haunted her now for
weeks Would Percival come to see her
when he arrived in Englandl Would he
imagine She did not know Could she steel
her heart and repcl him as she ought,
SO constant bad these reflections and uues-
tionings been of late that what followed was
- 'ilIN III bl'lltdl w Ill
Percival come to me.' was actually on the
up of that inward tongue with which we
sollloquze when her maid came into the
room with an expressive face, saying:
"Gentleman called to see YOU, miss" adding,
in kind of unofficial whisper: ats M.
Brent, miss"
She had heard all the gossip of the town;
but her face and tone signifed that if she
were mistress and not maid, Percival shOuld
be forgiven at once, and more than forgiven
shortly. But Sophia was too agitated for
observation. Should she say Not at homei
Engaged! Cannot see him, Her heart had
almost stopped beating; but, resolved not to
let her maid see anything, she said in as
quiet voice as she could command:

daughters stood round the bed: and the
worldly little mother passed without pang
away.

C1tAHlEK ' IL.
LADY BEAUTY's JOY TURNS INTO rRoLrc.
Yes, but tears like those-abeit their grief
is deep and pure-are ready to sparkle when
the next CLEAN of sunshine comes Sophia
awoke next morning with a dancing heart.
She did not see Percival again that night;
but sent him little note asking him to come
early to her the following morning. And no
sooner was he in the room than she flew to
him and kissed him, with pride and delight
on every feature.
What are you going to doln she asked
Going back to Australia, as | told your
he answered. But, Sophia, you are too
good-far too good-to offer to wait for me.
] am not going to be a success in life | am
afraid

Sophia cried, clapping her hands You keep
yourself; I'll keep myself"
Earn your bread" exclaimed Percival
Slow do you mean to do it,
Give dancing lessons, dear she answered
"Look here
And with a "tra, la, la" on her lips she
began to turn and whirl about the room,
down and up, the picture Of honest delight
And Pcrcyal 10 ked on in wonder, which
at every motion Of her figure kept turning
into love.

"Twelve thousand pounds. Sophia:'

Now she stops and looks him full in the face.
"By the way, can you tell me how Mrs.
Lanigan isl
Percival turned very red at this amazing
question; but there was no outlines in his
face as he replied
"How do you know Mrs. Laniganm
"How do you know herr Sophia asked
smartly. II know her through the newspa-
per. She was out driving with friend of
mine and got split. Somebody said it was the
horses having had too much champagne-the
newspaper said that
Percival muttered something under his
breath which sounded very like some brief
and emphatic remark about the newspaper,
and caused Sophia to lift her finger
