BY CHARLOTTE N. BRAEf1E,

CHAPTER -(Continued.)
THAT girl is as proud as Juno said
me earl, for want of better compari-
son.
"She has every right to be proud
Uric" remarked Sir Raoul. "She is
without her equal for goodness and
beauty"
She seems to think I shall kill her
If touch her." said the earl, bitterly.
'She would rather lose the costliest
jewel we have than touch my hand to
lay it in 1t safely
Sir Raoul made no reply.
Meanwhile the artist has made great
progress with his picture. 1t was a
work of love with him. He came to
Halby House at times and sometimes,
when Sir Raoul felt well enough to es-
cort the countess, they went to the stu
do. How it seemed to grow under
his brush that fair face-fair, pure,
original, so exquisite in color, so dam
ty in bloom! When the painting was
finished there was but one opinion
the portrait was simply masterpiece
of art, with its delicate beauty and rich
cOlOring.
But everyone made the same remark
the face was SO sad, the dark,
Swallowed eyes did not look as though
they had ever smiled, they were so full
of strange, sad dreams; the beautiful
lips were sad, and looked as though
they had never laughed in girlish fash
ion.
The portrait was hung up in the
drawing room. 1t did not remain there
long; the earl did not like to hear the
comments upon it. One morning he
said to Sir Raoul:
This portrait of Hildred's is consid-
cred very fine picture; think
should like it hung in the picture gal
lery at the CASTLE"
Side by side with all the dead-and-
gone Ladies Caraven?" replied Sir
Raoul. II do not blame you. To me
there appears to be a quiet reproach
in the face which is not pleasant to
see"
There is no cause for reproach,"
said the earl. You seem to think that
/ deceived Hildred, Raoul From first
to last there has been no mention Of
love between us. It was a case Of
money versus title. We both have
what we wanted; therefore, no more
need be said.'' .4s.s
Sir Raoul, being wise man, said no
more just then.
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1898-04-29

He was not well for many weeks after
his arrival. He did not actually keep
his room; the earl, who was tender
enough and anxious enough where his
cousin was concerned, had ordered two
OF the largest, lightest and most cheer
full apartments in the castle to be pre-
be prepared for him, and Lady Cara
ven was only too anxious to arrange
everything most luxuriously for him.
More than once, when she came to
read to him, always bringing with her
sweetest flowers and choicest fruits. he
had noticed that her face was pale and
her eyes were heavy with weeping.
Once, as she bent over him to show him
the lovely bloom on peach, he said to
her:
"Hildred, do you spend the whole
night in tears?"
Sometimes" she replied; but, RAJ
oul, do not talk to me about it, would
rather speak on any other subject than
myself.
He respected her wish.
The quiet OF Ravensmere was indeed
broken up the house was filled with
guests. M

upon my word" said the earl turn
ing to him suddenly, II wish that you
had it instead of me; you would make
thousand times better master"
And Sir Raoul could not help seeing
that the young countess turned to him
with the same wish most plainly writ
ten on her face.
You will be better master yet than
you have ever been," said Sir Raoul
touched at the unexpected humility of
the words.
NO; l shall never improve" replied
the earl with a short laugh. I'VE shall
soon see the quiet of Ravenswood dis
turbed. Do you know that only three
out of twenty declined my invitation?
We shall have the prettiest woman in
England here"
Who may that be?" asked Sir
Raoul.
DO you not know Lady Belle Win
stone-the lovely golden haired young
widow"
Sir Raoul looked at the noble, beau
tiful face opposite to him; it could not
have been colder and prouder.
Lady Belle Winstone," he repeated.
have never even heard the name be-
fore. l incline to the belief" he con-
tinued, with a bow to the countess,
that we have the loveliest lady in the
land at Ravensmere now"
You are courtier, Raoul,' laughed
the earl DO not commit yourself to
any decided opinion until you have
seen Lady Belle"
My opinion has long been formed"
replied Sir Raoul, pleasantly. When
ever he advanced the cause of the neg
lected, unloved wife, he did it with SO
much good humor that the earl could
not possibly take offense.
Lady Belle" continued his lordship,
has had more admirers than any wom-
an in England"
Then l should say" replied Sir
Raoul, chat she was great coquette."
Lord Caraven laughed.
She is indeed; but then her coquetry
is so delightful that man does not
mind being made the victim just for
once"
dSlcS ullcE, Sdlu OH AdOul,
calmly. "A coquette would never
please me"
Then the carriage stopped at the
great entrance, and they were at home.
Remembering that after all he owed
this house to the wife he did not love,
Lord Caraven deigned to say few kind
words to her; he said he had never seen
SO many roses at Ravensmere, and new
er such beautiful blooms. She did not
even turn to look at the flowers he in
dicated, but passed on, the words he
had spoken about Lady Belle ranking
in her heart.
What mattered the bloom of the roses
to her? He did not love her; she did
not even like him; but she could not
forget that he was her husband, and
it was intolerable that any other wom-
an should have all his admiration.
With a gesture of naughty pride she
swept into the house. Sir Raoul I'M
derstood the action well.

but there were things she could not toll

but there were things she could not toll
crate. This was one:
One morning she was quite alone in
the castle. The whole party had gone
out riding and driving, some of them
greatly disappointed for not having
their beautiful young hostess with
them; but she thought Sir Raoul looked
worse that morning, so would not leave
him. She was busily engaged in read
ing to him, when servant came to say
that poor woman was waiting to see
her
II tried to send her away, your lady
Ship said the man, but she begged
so hard that had not the heart"
Tried to send her away! Why did
you do that?" asked Lady Caraven.
Il think she is one of the tenants,
your ladyship; and his lordship gave
orders that they should not be attended
to here-they were to be sent to Mr..
Blantyre. II have done wrong, am
sorry for it"
you have done right" she said; mo
blessing ever comes to a house where
the poor and the sorrowful are sent
from the door,
Not even to a servant would she ut
ter one word in disparagement of her
husband, although she thought the or
der cruel one.
The woman was waiting to see her
in one of the ante-rooms. Lady Cara
vens generous hear. was touched as
she looked at her, she was so thin, so
worn, with face so white and so sad,
and great despairing eyes; her clothes
were a thin, shabby dress, and still
thinner and shabbier shawl. AS the
young countess stood before her in the
pride Of her youth a.d beauty, amid
all the luxury of her surroundings, she
felt, in some vague way, ashamed Of
the contrast
did you want me?" she said, in a
low, gentle voice. II am Lady Cara
ven. Did you wish to see me?''
The thin, worn hands were clasped
tightly. The woman hardly seemed to
have the power of speech.
do not be afraid" said the young
countess; tell me what you want"
"Oh, my lady, my lady," was the cry
that seemed to come from a break
ing heart, will you take pity on
'me?"
II will, indeed, if l can. If can

help you, promise that l will. What
is the matter? You must not fear to
tell me. l can understand the sorrows
of others, and feel for them"
The woman looked up into the kind
ly, beautiful face.
II hardly know how to tell you, my
lady. 1t is not the earl's fault. None
of us blame him; he does not know it.
1t is all Mr.. Blantyre's doing.
But what is it," she asked, gently,
''You forget that 1 do not know"
"My lady, it is this: My husband-a
fine, strong, handsome young man
was killed here in the woods two years
ago; he was a keeper, and there was a
fight with the poachers-my husband,
John Woodruff, was killed. He was q
fine, handsome young man, and we had

the doctor said that the moment he was
moved he would die. So his companions
fetched me to him, my lady-me, with
my three little children; and we saw
him in the early dawn Of the morning,
lying in the clover, dying dying, my
lady-the dear lad who had never given
me an angry word. We knelt down be-
side him, and we tried to raise his head
to look at the children for the last time;
but he could not see them-his eyes
were dim, he CROPPED with his hand, as
though he was in darkness. He neither
saw them nor me, but he knew that
was there.

the words sounded quite Ellen,
