II do not think he will refuse; but I

He told the artist that he believed
Lord Caraven was sven then In the

looked at him in wonder.

reply. "No artist could have a fairer

no objection"

earl. MY opinion is that the whole
world has gone mad together"
He was rather struck, after all; 1t
startled him to find the best judge Of
beauty in England speak in such rap
turous terms about the countess. 1t
was a mistake, Of course; but the
strange thing was to find an artist of
such note mistaken-it did not often
happen. He left Sir Raoul to tell the
news to his wife-he would not have
complimented her so highly.

laugh.
do you know" he said, that I am
literally tired of hearing the constant
repetition of titles? Raoul, you claim
relationship with Lady Caraven, why
not call her 'Hildred?' Hildred, why
not give over your formal and cere-
monious Sir and simply say 'Raoul?'"
Il shall be only too happy" said Sir
Raoul, eff my dear and beautiful kins-
woman will permit it."
Before the young countess had time
to answer Lord Caraven laughed again.
What old-world notions you have,
Raoul! Fancy talking about "a dear
and beautiful kinswoman.'"
And why not, Uric? It seems to
me that the people in you set sheer at
everything simple and noble. I repeat
the expression-my dear and beautiful
lay aside your title and call you Hill
dred?"
YES" she replied, "if you wish 1t,
Sir Raoul."
1T must be on equal terms, then"
IF you wish it, Raoul," she said. Her
face flushed, her dark Eyes dropped,
and her fingers played %nervously with
the diamond cross on her breast.
THAT is BETTER" said the earl. II

'Yes?'"

piled. But that is not probable; some
always refuse. If they do accept,

A COLD, NAUGHTY LOOK.
they see the women of many lands
believe me when I say that 1 never met
or saw a more beautiful oma than
your WIFE" :
If she be not fair to me, what care
I how fair she be?'" quoted the earl.
Il am glad you think so. I do not
admire her style Of beauty. If any
one else does. so much the better--I
do not object. There is the bell. Isn't
1t dreadful that the sound of the din
ner bell has a greater charm for me
han the discussion Of a lady's beau
ty?"
Lady Caraven fastened forward. Her
husband said something to her; she
answered him with a cold, naughty
look. Sir Raoul spoke; it was quite
another face that she turned to him
brilliant, tender, beautiful. She begged
him to take her arm. He looked at
her laughingly..
1T would be cruel to take so fair an
arm" he said, with a strong one like
Ulric's near"
Mine is strong with goodwill" she
said, smiling.
And Sir Raoul could not refuse. He
leaned as lightly as possible on the
lovely, round ARM, but his heart was
warmed by her kindness.
Then he set to work resolutely to
watch her, to see if in any respect she
was deficient. He could not discover
anything. She took her place with
consummate grace. She was well
versed in all the etiquette of the table
she was a charming hostess. He saw,
too, that with all her wealth and all
her beauty, she was an excellent mis-
tress of the household; her servants
were we'll trained and obedient.
Il do not see myself" thought Sir
Raoul, what more Uric can desire"
He could detect no fault in her; but
he did stop to wonder what their din
ners must be like when they were quite
alone.
The earl might have guessed the
nature of his thoughts, for he said.
suddenly:
I'VE had some friends coming to-
night, but I postponed their visit,
thinking that you would be tired,
Raoul. We never dine alone"
The young countess made no re-
mark. Sir Raoul saw that she had
plenty Of self-control; no matter how
sarcastic or bitter her husband was she
was never provoked to reply.
"She has that virtue" he said to
himself, northumberland it ig a sure
foundation for many Others"

then Raoul was always different from
other men-a preuX chevalier. For
whole days together the earl did not
see his wife, and oftener now than
ever he dined from home.
One evening the earl was more than
usually disagreeable. Some friends
were dining with them. and during din
ner Lord Caraven began to speak of
IL of his acquaintance who had
gone abroad for his honeymoon.
Another added to the long list OF
Victims" he said-"another name writ
ten on the scroll of folly. He was a
man who had everything he desired,
yet he got married. want a word for
such folly"
Uric" said Sir Raoul sharply
pardon me-that is not the way a
married man should speak,"
Pardon me-" said the earl, laughing
ly-"it is only a married man who can
speak so. You outsiders know nothing
of the matter. Distance lends en-
chantment,' you know
Sir Raoul saw a crimson flush mount
to Hildred's white brow. Suddenly the
young countess spoke. Her voice
sounded pitilessly sweet and was as
clear as a bell.
Il quite agree with Lord Caraven,"
she said; III there be one folly greater
than all others. it is that which we
call by the lame of marriage"
There was a dead silence for a min
ute; even Lord Caraven felt that he
had gone too far-that he had spoken
in an undignified, ungentlemanly fash
ion; then came Sir Raoul to the res
cue.
1T is an old institution" he said;
I'VE will not abuse it. Talking of
abuse, has any one read the Saturdays
singing review of Captain Hartlake's
great military work?'
This changed the conversation; but
that night, when the young countess
was about to retire, she went across the
room to Raoul, and her soft fingers
closed over his.
Il want to say goodnight and to
thank you," she said. 81 want to say
also h a you have been very kind, and
thai | feel sure you believe in what is
good; SO pray for me-pray for me-
for | am frightened at myself"
He repeated the words after her,
wondering at them. enlightened at
herself, poor child"
Amongst the friends who came to
see Sir Raoul was Lumley Atherstone,
the famous artist-a genius who lived
for art.
He was sitting one morning talking
to Sir Raoul when Lady Caraven en-
tered. He had not seen her before.
and he at once admired her. When
Hildred had spoken to Sir Raoul, and
talked for a few minutes with the ar
fist. she went away. With dreamy
eyes Lumley Atherstone looked after
her.
"She is very beautiful, Sir Raoul,"

woman was the quiet reply.
The artist sat quite still, rapt in q
dream. Suddenly he turned to the
soldier.

it as a great favor, that Lady Cara
ven would let me paint her portrait??'
