"She appears to like 1t very well--in
fact, / think it just suits her. AT
any rate she doesn't seem to regard
herself In the light of sighted and
neglected damsel."
"No; she doesn't care for him well
enough to mind his indifference, but
fear II may be different when they are
married. / hope she viii be happy"
and Blanche as she spoke gave swift
glance at Jack, who stood by the win
dow gnawing his moustache, and
gazing moodily at the park and stretch
of woodland that lay between the vi
Garage and Hadlow Hall.
IL trust she will" said Hawthorne;
''yet IL is doubtful. Such men as Lord
Yarra are incapable of very deep or
very true affection. IL Is the last new
thing. the last new face, that attracts
their wandering fancy. That is plainly
shown by his attention to Lady Fitz,
who is more than double Miss Had
lows age, and who Is certainly built
up by her maid, her milliner, and her
perfumer"
"Yes; there Is nothing natural about
her. She is an odious woman. can't
think what he sees To admire in her.
She is very plain, and her hair Is act
ually red, and the dye only partly con-
ceals its odious colour"
ayes; still she is woman of the
world, with perfect Sarofr fdire, and
doubtless her manners fascinate him.
She pays him so much attention, and
tries TO make herself agreeable TO
him."
81 wish she would succeed" exclaim-
ed Blanche, as her brother left the
room and went slowly down through
the garden, "and marry him; then
there might be chance for poor Jack.
My heart bleeds for him, he looks so
wretched and hopeless"
ayes, poor fellow but / fear her
ladyship will not succeed in getting
the earl to propose TO her, and break
off his present engagement. She is
not the sort of woman to suit him as
a wife--too masterful and managing
! very amusing and entertaining as
friend or acquaintance, very disagree.
able as mistress Of mans house."
"Yes, can imagine that; and he is
keen enough to know 1t, so fear there
is little chance OF happiness for our
lovers" and with sigh, Miss Bing-
ham put on her hat and her sealskin,
and prepared TO accompany her in

| of mercy.
Meanwhile young Bingham saunter-
ed slowly on with downdast eyes and
detected air; the conversation TO which
he had just been listening was not cal
culated To raise his spirits.
He knew the girl he loved would be
miserable as Yarra's wife, aud 1t caus-
ed him the keenest pain TO know that
he was helpless, powerless, to alter her
fate--to make her future bright and
happy.
He worshippej her with all the
strength and devotion of his great
honest heart. She was the only part
of his life that was worth living for;
without her, existence would be a
dreary blank, the world a bowling will
derness.
In her centered all his hopes, all his
ambitions, and she was lost TO him as
utterly and entirely as though she lay
In her grave, and death divided them.

from such a fatep he muttered, as his
restless wandering feet led him to-
wards Hadlow Wood; "but / am
powerless, and must stand by and see
my love sacrificed"
JackT cried a clear ringing voice
at that minute, and turning, he saw
Dorothy coming swiftly towards him,
swinging little flower basket in her
hand.
Whittier away, fair maidY" he ask
ed with miserable attempt at gaiety,
al am going to the wood TO look for
violets and primroses; | want them for
tonight"
"Do your"
"Yes."
"Surely you will have other flowers
sent gorgeous dollhouse blooms.
POSSIBLY. But you see prefer the
wild woodland blossoms"
"Then may | come and help you 70

ayes, IL you promise TO work very
hard, and find me great many"
"OI course 4 VIII. SHALL uuu
double the quantity you will"
81 am not so sure of that"
, al am. will prove 1t TO YOU"
"Do."
And away they went like n pair o.
l children, chatting and laughing, ant
! looking In sunny hooks for Fragrant
violet and delicate primrose.
1t was a glorious March day, fresi
yet mild, with wind Just strong
