bright, hopeful pleasant, full OF
s7etry, full of wonder and romance!
The time came when Veronica began
10 wonder what 1t waa that had fallen
over her life. What was the dazzling
fight that had fallen at her feet?
WHY was it that from morning to
night and from night TO morning she
mad but one thought, and that was
about Marc Caryll?
Christmas had passed now. and the
beautiful springtide had set in. The
air was balmy with the sweet breath
OF flowers. yet Sir Jasper had not re-
covered much OF his strength. The
doctors would not allow him to re
turn to his duties: he must rest II he
would live. In vain the active en-
eraetic statesman rebelled He re-
fused for a time TO submit until he
saw the absolute necessity for 1t.
Then he found Lord Wynleigh OF great
use to him. He had been returned
as member for Hurstwood, and had
made his maiden speech; TO every
body's great surprise, It was simply a
masterpiece Of eloquence. Sir Jas
per gave mp some of his duties to the
young politician about whom people
rrophesied great things.
The baronet was very pleased. II
had always been a source Of sorrow TO
him that he had no son 10 succeed 10
his honors: but he loved the brave
Young nobleman in whom all Kathe-
rne's happiness seemed TO be centered,
When Respondent thoughts came TO
MIN. he said to himself that he should
have a successor. He insisted upon
Lady Brandon's taking Katherine and
Veronica TO London for part Of the
season at least, and nothing pleased
him better than to read her ladyship's
letter in which she told of Veronica's
successes and triumphs.
THE girl can marry whom she will,
wrote Lady Brandon; "her magniii-

her feet She does not seem to care
about any one in particular"
