Cost of German Colonies.
(To be e%ontinued.l

Germany can scarcely be considered
as successful in her efforts to secure
fame as a colonizing power, The esti-
mated cost of colonies for the coming
year is fixed, according to the imperial
budget, at. 81, 1000 000, in return for
which she is able to point to 1903 col.
onists, all told, of which number half
are soldiers and officials. With regard
to the trade, Germany's exports to her
colonies do not amount to $1,500,000
annum, SO that from a business
point of view the undertaking can
scarcely be considered as a profitable
one. 1t is evident that the fault lies
with the German government rather
than with the German merchants. The

When he had gone she cried to herself

scenes as these she had foreseen when
Lord Vivian first asked her to be his wife,
and now her fears were all verified. She
was not equal to her duties-never would

her.
The evening of the ball came. Thanks
no gigilant and well-trained servants, ev-
srything was In perfect order; and Lady
yiolante, as she looked round the mag
pihcent suite of rooms, felt her heart light
sned of a heavy load. Carriage after car
r6age drove up to the hall door; one group
AFTER another of fair guests entered; ev-
anything seemed promising and fair.
Lady Violante went creditably through
the. reception of her guests; even the ter
-ible duchess did not awe her. But as
the evening wore on, she grew physically
satigued and exhausted. The difficulty
Of i~nxenting civil speeches to SO many

are that she would have gone through the
evening successfully.
Her Grace of Roxminster was talking

pether could get through more gossip ano

She went to the back of Lady Seftone'i

CHAPTER X.

Lord Vivian Selwyn little realized how
often, and in how man different shapes,
that idea came to him-wishing his wife
was more like Beatrice Leigh. The Lady
Violante was sweet. gentle and of a most
loving disposition. She was gifted with
a refined mind, a cultivated and poetical
taste; but there was no mistaking the fact
she was not, and never would be, a
"woman of the world
They were sitting alone in the pretty
breakfast room of Thornleigh House-a
room gay with rose-colored chintZes, and
stands of fragrant flowers. They had
been breakfasting together, for neither
Mrs. Selwyn nor Miss Leigh were down.
The windows were open, and through
them came a soft, western wind, perfum-
ed with the breath of mignonette.
Il never can do it, Vivianr' she cried.
Il am only just twenty, and l never even
arranged a dancing party in all my life.
What shall / d o?"
His face grew dark with anger.
"Yiolante," he asked, do you intend al
ways to remain a child? When do you
purpose to assume the duties that belong
to you as my wife,"
do not be angry" she said piteously;
II will do my best; but, indeed, | have
no notion, no idea even how to begin"
ut Is nonsense said Lord Vivianj
you are young, graceful, clever, quick to
learn, apt to initiate. Why can you not
learn to fulfill your duties ?-they seem to
me simple enough"
Perhaps after all, it had been a terrible
mistake; n If SO, there was now no
remedy. So he looked blankly into the
beautiful, sorrowful face, a dreadful con-
Yiction dawning upon him that he had
made IA foolish mistake.
DO not look so, VIVIAN" said Lady Sell
wyn; 81 will do my best. Mrs. Selwyn
will help me-"
THAT is the very thing" said Lord Wv
ian; Il want you to earn self-reliance.
You will not always have my mother and
Miss Leigh to help you. Miss Leigh will
marry some day, then what will you do?"
Il am heartily glad of it," replied Vio-
lRnte abruptly; and that answer did not
quite please Lord Vivian. He had not the
fRintest idea that his wife wal in the
least degree jealous of Beatrice. Such a
thought had never occurred to him. He
imagined her slightly e~nyious, perhaps, of
Miss Leigh's social qualities; but that
yiolante should be jealous of her never
occurred to him.

and shine as you were meanrW
the rest to me. We ce-smee
house this evening to N,acliss and select
the scenes that strike us most. We must
find one, though, in which we can all ap-
pear together. Prince Cesare likes Miss
Leigh, I think"
"Does he" asked Lady Selwyn. "She
ia very beautiful and very gifted. She
seems to know everything by instinct. She
always does the right thing at the right
time, and says the very words she should
say when they ought to be said.
"You are very generous" cried Coun-
tess Sitani, opening her lovely eyes.
Now, if l were you, l should be horribly
jealous of Miss Leigh"
"Why?" asked Lady Violante, calmly,
hut her heart beat as it had never done
before.
Il cannot quite tell why" replied the
countess, with a shrug of the pretty
shoulders; "only that she seems SO often
to take your place"
Because | cannot take it myself" in
terrupted Lady Selwyn.
81 wouldv' said the countess. Il am
not very wise, but have quick instincts,
and l foresee both danger and u%nhappi-
ness for YOU unless you make a great ef-
fort to assert yourself. Whose will rules
your house?-Miss Leigh's! Who rules
your child?-Miss Leigh! Who influences
YOUR husband?-Miss Leigh!'
"Ah, no!' cried Lady Selwyn, mot that
anything but that"
.You must be blind if you do not see
IT." said Countess Sitani; every one else
does. and--I must say 1.-THE fault is
vour own! Instead of shrinking into your.
self. as 1 see you do, and being fright
ened at every shadow, be bold-know
your own rights, and let no one interfere
with them. What a sin to sit preaching

She sighed. Like all mothers. she knew
the time must come when her nursing
would take flight and pass from her gen
tie, tender care; yet she dreaded the time.
She longed to keep him, TO shield him from
all the dangers that would beset HIM; to
keep him to HEAVIER and herself.
Then her face frightened. and II beau
tiful color flushed even her brow, a beau
tiful light flashed in her eyes; for. far oil,
amid the tall myrtle trees, she heard the
clear, ringing voice of a child.
"There is Rupertr' cried Lord Vivian
'That is Beatrice with him."
Then by the golden gladiolus. through
the grove of silyer-1owered orange trees,
comes a woman whose beauty is as gor-
geous as a passion flower in the sun; a
woman with a face that would have

ness %gladdening all who looked upon it.
A woman whose every movement was full
of imperial grace and dignity, for Beatrice
Leigh was in the spring-tide of her life,
and nature had lavished every charm up
on her.
She made a superb picture as she pass
ed the shimmering range trees, n Lord
Vivian's eyes frightened with admiration.
With one white hand Beatrice held fast
the little fingers of a child, evidently a
naughty and somewhat refractory child,
for he seemed most unwilling to comply
with her wishes.
"Where was he, Beatrice?" asked Lord
Vivian, as she came nearer.
II will tell you myNelf, papa" cried the
young heir of Selwyn.
"You have been lost for more than two
hours, Rupert" said Lord Vivian %gravelyi
"where have you beenT'
But the child could not answer, for
Layd Violante had seized him in her arms.
She forgot all the world but her boy. She
only saw him, and nothing besides. She
covered his face with kisses, she murmur-
ed sweet words over him, such as only
mothers lips can frame. Lord Vivian
stood by, wondering at this marvellous
gift of mother love; and Beatrice Leigh
looked on with a sneer on her peerless
face.
Then Lady Violante sat down on the
garden chair, and the child stood by her
knee. For the first time she noticed his

Sunny Florence wore its gayest aspect.
The blue waves of the Arno rolled be-
tween banks of odorous flowers. One
bright morning in August Lady Violante
stood looking, with a far-of glance, over
the Arno TO the hills beyond. Near her
grew a gladiolus, all scarlet and gold; the
bees had buried themselves in the bells,
humming for very joy in the bright sun.
