are!"
"And that is why do not think that
shall ever marry" he continued, with
a melancholy smile. Her face haunts

"Have you ever" faltered Lady Caro-,
"seen anyone who resembled her at

eyes," replied Col. FitzDominick,
with some little hesitation. 81 have.
One who was her living image-if one
replaced the martyr-like expression
with a joyous one. But only quite
lately"
Lady Caro- actually blushed as de-
licious thrill of excitement stole over
her. She did not intend to marry again,
but it would be delightful to become the
object of such passionate worship
even if she did not contemplate the idea
of rewarding it.
1t was just at that moment that Lady
Glenlyndon gave the signal. The
ladies filed out, and Lady Glenlyndon
caught Lady Caro- by the hand.
"You behaved shamefully," she whis-
pered, you little she pirate. Poor
Miss Brenon, she hadn't chance, and
you deserted Glenlyndon altogether.
How did you like him. Tell me later"
Some minutes afterward Lady Glen,
lyndon and Lady Caro- were seated side
by side on a sofa. The other ladies had
plunged into heated discussion on
the crimes of servants, with the single

How did you like him?" said Lady

rot apprehended this prediction from
Col. FitzDominick's conversation.
"Then, didn't he tell you that pa.

the beautiful golden-haired girl who
was sent to Siberia, and died in his
arms?"
Eyes" replied Lady Caro-, with SHARP
decision. "lIut there wasn't word
about a solden-haired girl. The CIR
was very dark, pale and black-haired-
in fact, dear, he gave me to understand
not in so many words, but very deli.
cately-that she was exactly like me.
WELL that's very odd" cried
Lady Glenlyndon-and there was i;
shriller note in her voice than seemed
absolutely necessary. For he gave
me thoroughly to UNDERSTANDING il

actly like me-"
The two ladies sat up suddenly ant
glared little, and then Lady Glenlyn

shall we punish him?"
LET us make him tell the story owe

At that moment the sound of voices
