TO comply with the wishes o. others.
Would not ne It year do as we'll,
mother?' he asked.
How earnestly she hoped he was
not going to kiss her and caress her
into complying with his wishes.
When his handsome face and
splendid dark eyes were bent
upon her. she knew her own weakness
and powerlessness to resist

year will not do. Who knows what
will happen before next year comes?"
AS her words died ava. the roar
OF the waterfall could be clearly heard
in the silence.
What a dismal noise the water is
making this EVENING" she said. with
a slight shudder. looking anxiously at
her son. Now, Carlos | may con-

| go until May. and we will return at
the end OF June. You must see every
phase OF life. and ours is but quieG
one"
So 1t was arranged that they should
go to London. and Rockbourne House
was prepared for them. Even gentle
! Lady Carew after her long seclusiOn,
felt some delight at mixing again
with the gay word; and though she
had her tail son by her side she still
looked 20 young and so beautiful that
she became more populat than some
of the youngest beauties.
Mother and son we received with
| open arms and SIR Carlo5 found
| there was quite another side TO life.
He was too energetic and impetuous
ever to become a carpet knight A
gallop over the breezy downs or a
day with the hounds mad a greater
charm for him than ballroom or
opera: but he could not help admitting
TO himself that there were great at
fractions in London.
He enjoyed his visit TO the stran-
gers gallery in the house of commons.
where he listened to some of the most
eloquent men Of the day. He never
wearied Of the wonderful streets; no
admired the 6 and old Abbey and
was enthusiastic over ST. Pauls. lie
liked Hyde Park with it., beautiful
show Of brilliant women. He thought
the levee he attended one OF the
grandest sights that could be SEEN
! and his boyish heart--for he was a
boy at heart thrilled with emotion
when the Prince Of Wales spoke kindly
to him and detained him for few
minutes in conversat on. He en-. Dyed
the opera and the balls TO which he
was invited; and he found him self
wonderfully popular Belgravian
rnatrons do not every day find such
prize--a handsome young baronet
with rent-roll OF ten thousand per
annum IA magnificent estate, and
! house in town
The duchess OF Welde with her
| bevy OF fair daughters was in town;
and Lady Dagmar Evesham showed a
greater preference for Sir CarIo5's
society than she had shown before.
Lady Carew and the Duchess were
on the most a-ectionate terms and
her grace had spoken plainly to Lady
arew. 1t would be very pleasing TO
her she said il marriage could be
arranged between Carlos and any of
her daughters.
Lady Carew laughed. and told her
that her son was perhaps behind tho
! age but that at present he had not
evinced the least interest in love or
| even in ladies' society.
Love will come in time, said the
Duchess beuignly. II am afraid
dear Lady Carew. that you have in
some measure spoiled him"
She little knew with bow keen pang
those words pierced the mothers heart.
The chess daughters were
fair and GRACEFUL but as
her grace knew. fresh beauties
sprung up every year and it
was desired to get them married.
! She almost considered that she had
claim on Sir Carlos. Lady Dagmar
flirted with him. sung to him pretty
love songs that never touched his
heart, and wore his favorite coiors and
flowers but all the smiles and wiles
OF Lady DaSmar were in vain.
One of the great artists painted Sir
Carlos portrait that season. and it
was hung in the picture gallery at
Eirhorne Before he had been long
in town Sir Carlos had acquired all
the grace and polish o. one who mixes
in the most exclusive circles and his
mother was prouder than ever OF him.
He was at that age when young men
do one of two things look down
with supreme contempt upon love. as
somethingto be attended 10 by and by.
or plunges headlong into one Of the
widest and maddest of passions. Lady
Carew did not know whether 10 re-
joice or be sorry Mt his insonsibility to
the fairest OF Ewes daughters
When Sir Carlos had done all that
could be expected in the way OF visit
ing and hospitality it was time TO re-
turn to Firholme.
He had, among many others made
ono friend whom he liked much. Lord
Stanleigh OF Hatton. a young noble
man who had succeeded TO his title
when very yourg. and who spent the
greater part OF his time on his benuti-
| full estate at Hatton.
