CHAPTER I.
Ida Raughton sat, on a bright June day
of that year. In her pretty boudoir, look
ing out on the well-kept gardens Of n
West End square, and thinking Of an i'm
portant event i'll her life that was now
not very far off-her marriage. The wed
ding day was fixed for the 1st Of Septem
berd. Her future husband was Gervass
Occleve, Vlscount fenIyn.
She was the only daughter of Sir Pau
Raughton, wealthy Surrey baronet. and
had been to him, since her mothers death,
as the apple OF his eye-the only thing
that to him seemed to make life worth
living.
That she should have made sensation
during her first season was not a thing

one else. Ida RaughtOn was as thor
oughly beautiful girl, when first she
