Erene was q Partisan born, with
all their taste and ways. She was
ssputtering forth impulsively now
about q friend of her fathers, an
.Engsishman of high birth, whom we
expected to dine with us that day.
They had met him on the continent,
land, although Erene said a great
slcal against him, knew her so we'll
that in my heart somehow felt she
liked him. She never made so much
n<1O about anyone or mon Dieu-ed"
SO often when she did not.
.Oh, but that was the great nuisance
--fhat piece of high dignity, Lord
astolholml Mon Dieu! what a name
WAS that! His father must have been
IN Swetie! His lordship, then. was to
dine with lis on this particular day,
when We were going to the Sante's
grand bali at night, and needed the
-s1ay to rest! All, those English
'alsey were made of stone! How they
walk Ma fol! three miles or four a
e1ay-she had seen them! And how
he would carry his nose in the air.
they all did-and ait stiff as post
when every one else talked like live
people and enjoyed themselves! Mon
sDieu! but it was a trial. And how
( gay would she he when the wine came

She was getting horribly ennuyed,
and would sleep soon, she was sure!'
ssnd she INDUCED in big yawn and
held two tiny hands over her mouth.
Here we were summoned to dinner.
y ss51ld zee nothing disagreeable
about Lord Stolholm. He appeared
a sensible pleasant gentleman OF
sat,out 35. He treated Erene and
myself with gallantry, and thought
Exene honored him with quite as
mach courteous notice as he did
Der. He told me that he had
'-sSnce known my mother, and had
esteemed her highly He further re-
marked that greatly resembled her.
.HesWsDke very kindly, and was
rhsased that he had known mamma,
sisr she was dead, and papa l had left
axith my only brother in Germany.
ST the Sante Hotel that night we
cng:iin met Lord Stolholm. edanc-
sd several times with me, and well,
II was only II, the scene was gay and
sEesk to me, and Lord Stolholm was
very handsome that night But l
could not feel sore ut heart when
Irene was SO disagreeable after the
.s,all and the next day. Surely
lad not tried to draw Lord StOl-
h0lm's attention from her! This
manner increased as he continued to
show me his regard, and Igrew home

Lleft suddenly without seeing Lord
<st0lholm, and / thought, "Erene

ewith her preferences But, alas! l
swas sad, and knew before long that
had grown to think much more o
this kind friend than / was aware OF.
Weeks passed and / heard nothing
:sfrom him. TO be sure, he did not
! know where was, unless Erene had
chosen TO tell him.
.Erene wrote very pleasantly now,
and frequently mentioned Lord Stol-
holm. Presently began to look i'll.
Fraulein fretted and said Unjust trav-
efNEain. So my father went down
, 70 italy; but continued pale and sad.
AT last l received the following letter,
written with the impulsiveness of
Erene's nature in it's happiest mood:
