CHAPTER III.

Five years had passed since Sir Charles
Itooden was laid to rest. May had come
round again, with its wealth of foliage
and of lowers-a fair. bright May, such
rs poets love to portray. The London
season was Il brilliant one-thcre had not
been Il better for many years. The draw
ing-rooms had been well attended; Il great
many presentations had been made, and,
better than all, an unusual number Of
beautiful faces had appeared mt court.
One of the most commanding houses
overlooking Hyde Park, one of a stately
row called Palace Place, was especially
noticeable this May morning for the love-
ly flowers that filled the light italian bal
cony. A beautiful girl stood near the
blooming hyacinths which occupied one
of the windows-a girl with Il sweet. pas
sionate face, and eyes that. lovely as
they were. could not be easily read. Near
her stood a tall, handsome man. Captain
Vance Wynyard. The girls face revealed
her love-story clearly. 1t paled and
flushed us he spoke to her; the proud
sensitive lip trembled, the eyes dcepened
and frightened, as his words of love fell
upon her ears. The beautiful. passionate
face II eloquent eyes We're those of
Gladys Rane. IL niece of Lady Kinloch, Il
debutante of the season, whose beauty
had made its mark.
Lady kinloch, the mistress of the man.
sion renowned for its famous flowers and
known as Loeb House. was a rich and
childless widow. She had adopted the
only child of her dead sister, ana had
brought her up in the hope that the beauty
of which her girlhood gave promise would
develop to maturity. and that she wodld
one day make Il brilliant match: but
whether Lady Kinloch would ever see
her adopted daughter make the brilliant
match she had hoped for was more than
doubtful. for Gladys had fallen in loY"
with handsome Captain Wynyard. who
had already lost two fortunes. and WAS
quite ready to lose il third, should it ever
come within his reach.
The bujeweled white fingers toycd with
the flowers, which served also as an eX-
cusc for bending her face, lest he should
read the love SO plainly visible there.

the hyacinths in the interest of her CUES

pay a last tribute of respect to a ~neighbor
and friend.
In his will Sir Charles had not forgotten
my of his faithful old servants or any of
the charities he had supported. Yet to
those who listened to the reading of the
document there seemed to be something
strange in it. 1t was strange that no in
come had been settled on the daughter
for whom he had always such u~nbounded
affection; strange that no dowry had been
left to her: strange that not one farthing
of what must ultimately be a large for
tune should reach her until her mothers
death: strange that so vast a fortune
should be left to the absolute disposal of
a beautiful young widow. No restriction
was placed upon her: there was no forfeit
ure of money if she married again. The
only thing she could not do was to part
with property belonging in way to house
or estate. She could not sell a picture or
a tree; everything was to descend to An
gela just as she had received it.
"A strange will" the listeners agreed.
but it only showed the implicit trust Sir
Charles had in his wife.
Lady Rooden was n little surprised her
self. She had not expected such unrc-
served generosity. and she had certainly
thought that provision would have been
made for Angela. She caught the child
in her arms, and kissed the fair young
face in Il passion of tears.
You shall not suffer, my darling" she
declared, "for papa's generosity to me. |
will more than make up to you for it,"
But Angela did not understand. She
only clasped her arms more tightly around
her mothers neck.
After Sir Charles death. Lady Rooden
did not care to remain at Rood Abbey.
Her II desire was to 90 abroad, to seek
in change some relief from her present
sorrow. She was married so young
hen only seventeen-and the whole of
her happy married life had been so com
pletely engrossed by her love for her nus
band and Il cGaseleSs round of pleasures.
that she had given little thought to for-
cign travel. Now II great desire came
over her to see all the famous countries
and cities Of which she had read; and
Angela WAS delighted with her plan.
She secured the services of Il clever and
accomplished gcntleWoman. Miss Ave
land; and II few months after Sir Charles
death Lady R0oden and her daughter
started for II tour which was TO last four
years. while Rood Abbey was left in
the hands of faithful old servants, who
were to hold it in readiness for their re-
turn.
