CHATTER XyXYI-THE FIRST E

CHAPTER ANANl.-IHEI FIRST EN ENlNG.
In the westering light of Il lovely July
day, Mrs Langley and Valerie were driv-
en-, through miles of stately Gins and
beeChes that lined the avenue on either
side, to Abbot's Leigh; and the girls eyes
dwelt in delight on the varied views "
park scenery presented as they went on
ward, the more beautiful that it was hilly.
AbbOt's Leigh itself stood on a height, and
the road by-and-by grew sufficiently steeF
to require more moderate pace for the
horses.
Lady Elinor had gone herself with the
carriage to meet her guests, and she and
Mrs. Langley kept up fire of talk the
whole way; but Valerie spoke very little
She found ample employment in looking
about her, and admiration of the scenery
left her free, too, to indulge her own
thoughts Undisturbed. 4 noble heritage,
truly this wasl How justly proud Max
Beauregard must be of it! How he must
love it!
Lord Westbrook and Mr. Dallas arrived
last night" explained Lady Elinor, as the
carriage began to mount the hill, and
Major Trayers and Mrs. Dudley came to-
day; we expect Miss LinwOod tomorrow;
and we may have one or two others later
military friends of MaX's-but it is not
quite certain yet"
Valerie turned round to look at the
house, and her heart thrilled as she caught
a glimpse of the gray battlemented walls.
\ few minutes more, and they came in
full sight of the south-Or rather south
west front-a grand old pile of buildings,
with stately terraces brilliant with flowers,
and windows richly digit" glittering in
the level rays of the sun.
well, Valerie" said Mrs Langley, smil-
ing. for the girls soul was in her face,
"what do you think of Abbot's Leigh2'
"Ohr' she said, under her breath, lit is
glorious old placer
"And may be yours" said Mrs. Langley,
to herself-"nay, shall be yours"
The carriage rolled under a great Gothic
gateway, the carvings of which were black
with age, as were the armorial bearings of
the Beauregards on the crown of the arch,
and into vast courtyard, where, OF old,
lords and ladies in rich attire had gathered
for the hawking; and then the cOaChman
drew up before the grand entrance-a gate
way rather than a doorway, deep set under
noble arch; and from the hall beyond
the doors stood open-appeared the tall
figure of Max Beauregard, and came down
the broad steps to the side of the carriage.
Welcome to Abbot's Leigh" he said,
shaking hands with Mrs. Langley, and
then he turned to Valerie, and took her
hand for a moment, including her in the
words just spoken; but in his heart mean
Ing far more than welcome! Ay. a thous-
and times more than welcome! He handed
out Mrs. Langley, then ElinOr, then Va
lerie; and as ne drew her hand on his arm
to escort her into the house, following
Lady Elinor and Mrs. Langley, he bent
down to her and said softly, with more
than touch of the old tenderness:
Il hope we may be able TO make your
stay here happy one. Valerie"
Tears rushed to the girls eyes: the hand
that rested on his arm trembled. With an
effort she answered him, and her voice fall
tered:
