CHAPTER XIII.

LADY RAYMOND's Strawberry TEA.
Cecil told his mother that she had
managed very badly.
Poor boy, he really had some cause
for complaint, for, as he did not fail to
point out, in spite Of the detection OF
Lady Dawlish, Bellenden could still
the deserted Mr.. lie Masserer would
have been equally, if not still better
pleased to have had the pretty
heiress.
He did not add that in this case he
would have been satisfied on his own
account, laying all the stress on his
friends having been separated from
his sister; but Lady Raymond under
stood him perfectly, nevertheless.
The poor woman had not a word to
say for herself
of course, she too could have seen
the better arrangement had one MIN
utes time been given her to think
about it; but how could she, or how
could anyone have been expected to
take in all the bearings OF the case in
the buzz OF a full drawing-room, with
the dinner imminent, and husband
SIGNALLING the one thing oil Importance,
to which all besides must give way?
She had not en- Dyed her own dinner,
that she knew; and whether the turbot
were fresh or stale, or the wh1tebalt
i'll or we'll done. she had not cared an
atom. She had only eyes for two
things, Cecil's unhappy, and EtheIs

den's part, visible after the meal.
Bellenden, usually somewhat grave
and distract of late, had on the recent
occasion been almost merry after the
ladies' had gone upstairs, and had shone
forth as one of the takers and enter
tanners of the room. Lord Raymond
had told his wife afterwards that Sir
Frederick Bellenden had been great
success: Mr.. LIE Masserer had expressed
his pleasure at meeting him; they must
have him again. Where had he dis
aDpeared to when the gentlemen came
up to the drawing-room?
He had disappeared, certainly, ana
oh. he had gone to the foreign re-
ception, had he? With Cecil:
No: Cecil had gone with the Camp
ells-Rellendeu by himself:
But Lady Raymond did not know and
Cecil did not tell her, that the further
shadow on the young mans brow after
that evening was due to another cause
beside that OF the disarranged dinner,
table. namely, to what had TRANSFERRED
during the small hours that followed.
Bellenden had appeared at the en-
bassy soon after he and his gra ana
mother and cousin had taken up posi-
tion nea- the head OF the grand STAIR

Japanese English.

The Tokyo schoolboy who wrote
the following composition on ''The
Character of an Englishman" has
still much to learn about the Eng.
lish language, but appears to have
somehow obtained pretty good no
ton of some of the leading charac-
teristics of the English people. His
"Testamony of English" is of course
the New Testament:
The England which occupied of
the largest and greatest dominion
which rarely can be. The English
man works with very powerful
hands and the long legs and even
the eminenced mind, his chin is so
strong as deserved iron, he are not
allowed it to escape if he did seized
something.
Being spread out from Europe to
Australia to America his dominion
is dreadfully extensive so that his
countrymen boastally say ''the Sun
are never sets on our dominion. "
The Testimony of English said that
he that lost the common sense, he
never any benefit, though he had
gained a complete world"
The English are cunning intention
to establish a great Empire of th'
Paradise. The Englishman Away.
said to the other nation, Give mt
your land and will give you m,
testimony" So it is not a robbie,
but exchanged.
AS the English always confide tn
object to be pure and the order to b
holy and they reproch him if an.
them are killed TO death with tn
contention of other man. Youth
