CHAPTER TX.

In the drawing room of Thornleigh
House, in Belgravia, London, a group of
three ladies' stood, holding anxious con-
sultation over a magnificent diamond
tiara. Mrs. Selwyn held 1t in her hands,
Lady violante shrank as though half
alarmed at it, and Beatrice Leigh stood
by with smile on her face-a cold, hard
friendly interest.
II think it very beautiful, Violante,"
said Mrs. Selwyn: 81 cannot imagine why
you object to it"
Lady Selwyn would probably prefer
Miss Leigh.
That l should!' cried Lady Violante.
Such magnificent ornaments as that
tiara frighten me!'
But" demonstrated Mrs. Selwyn, you
must dress according to your rank, and
you must wear such jewels as your hus-
bands position entities you to wear. DO
you not underestimate
YES" she replied YEARLY II quite
understand" but the golden head dropped
and the fair face grew sad.
Then said Mrs. Selwyn, you had
better decide upon this. l like it better
than anything we have seen. Here is
Vivian; let us have the benefit of his
taste"
He Joined the little group with a smile
on his dark, handsome face. Mrs. Selwyn
continued:
''Stoir & Mortimer have sent the
tiara you ordered. and 1 think it simply
magnificent"
lis Violante pleased?' he asked eager
iy, turning to his wife.
She made no reply. Mrs. Selwyn spoke
for her.
..Violante thinks it too-too grand. l
suppose
Lord Vivian laughed.
my simple darling" he said, when
will you learn to love grandeur? 1t is not
one whit too beautiful for you. If all the
Jewels on earth were strung upon one
string. l should still think them unwor-
thy Of being offered to you." and he
touched the white brow with his lips.
All this discussion arose from the fact
that Lord Vivian Selwyn. with the ladies
of his household. had come up to London
TO spend the season there. and it had been
decided that Lady Selwyn and Miss
Leigh should be presented at the drawing
room to he held on the fourth of June.
The morning of the day Lady Niolante
had dreaded long dawned at last,
bright and beautiful, with sunshine that
reminded one of the scent of roses and
mignonette-warm and invigorating. The
sky was clear and blue as the heaven that
smiles on sunny Italy. Lady Violante
awoke with sigh; the day she had fear
ed had dawned, and must somehow be
got through.
They were in the library, ready at last,
| and Vivian, as he looked on the two la
dies before him, felt proud as he had new
er done before. Mrs. Selwyn had declin-
ed going, and her grace the Duchess of
Roxminster was to present Lady Selwyn
to the Queen. TAay Yeka dressed now.

CHAPTER VIII.

The bells of Thornleigh Church pealed
out merrily-their sweet chime seemed to
cheer and gladden. the air; they rang out
quaint old melodies, they clashed as
though in triumph, they made merry, they
dropped down sweet music, they repeated
over and over again the self-same glorious
harmony, and all because the heir of Sci
wyn was born.
1t was a bright May morning, the sun
shining on land and sea, the birds all
singing of their love for each other, the
flowers all blooming, the chestnuts bud
ding, the hawthorn in full perfume; all
nature smiling and bright: and to Lady
VioIante, holding her little son in her
arms, it seemed as though the world had
never been SO bright before.
The May sunbeams peeped into the
room where she lay with the little boy in
her arms, and Lord Vivian Selwyn. as he
looked thought he had never seen so fair
a picture as she, with her pale. sweet face
and white lace .draperies, presented. All
the love he felt for the fair-haired young
girl was as nothing to the warm, deep
devotion that filled his heart for his wife
the mother of his child.
She had asked to see him, because she
had something so especial to say, and
Lord Vivian had gone up into her room,
the clash of the gay bells ringing in his
ears.
..Vivian," said a sweet, low voice, Il
want to ask you something about my
baby"
"What Is the favor. Violanter he ask
ed. 81 am like King Ahasuerus; ask for
what you wi!l-the half of my Kingdom Is
yours. What more do you wantT
my own way, in this instance she
said, "over baby. / should like so much
to call him Horace, after my father. Hor-
ace Selwyn would be a beautiful name,
think. II anything could make me love
nv baby better it would be calling him
by my fathers name. Are you willing
