half wistful look which long expert
ence had taught her was the most
fatal with the other sex; her particu-
larry small and plump right hand,
heavily jeweled, rested upon the
| wicker arm of the chair in which she
sat. within few inches of the nose
of old Lord Bethune, who, on an adj
| jacent camp stool of small dimen-
sions, was trying to appear as grace
full and happy as the possession Of
that rickety seat of honor and a equity
foot would permit.
Mrs. Carmichael-Banks was a bold
and clever woman, and at this partic-
ular moment, a happy woman
She had contrived by dint of consid-
cradle scheming and tactful hint
dropping to secure an entry some few
weeks since into that select circle
now gathered on the Penwahr. Lady
Victoria Huntley had raised her
glasses to the bridge of her aristo-
cratic nose, with a slight start of sur
prise when Mrs. Carmichael Banks had
first appeared on board; other mem
bers of the party had inquired con-
corning her of each other and had
shrugged shapely shoulders when
they spoke of her. But Mrs Car
michael Banks had passed among
them with her winning smile, and
the suspicion of malicious glance in
her laughing eyes, and had audaciOus-
1y stepped into a position on board
the Penwahr to which no other
woman there dared aspire.
She had committed that day one
further social sin, in the shape of a
further success; she had captured the
heart of old Lord Bethune - or that
portion of his aged anatomy, which
had come, in the course of time, to re-
place the youthful seat of his affec-
tions-and the equity peer declared
himself. With that artlessness born
of naturally childlike and innocent
mind Mrs. Carmichael Banks had
been much surprised-had even de-
clared that her heart was forever
buried in the grave which hid the
mortal remains of the late Mr.. Car
m ichael-Banks.
Lord Bethune had, however, prose-
cuted his suit with that ardor which
generally characterizes a man, be he
young or old, under similar circum-
stances, and Mrs. Carmichael Banks
had at last sighed softly and smiled
upon him, and consented to grace the
declining years of his life, ano-so she
mentally vowed to herself-do battle
with the horde of impecunious rela-
tiveS who kept keen eyes upon the old
peers money.

Mrs. Carmichae1-Banks started
slightly and shook herself out of a
reverie and glanced round.
