Her face flushed as she listened, and
grew deadly pale.
And what is the condition of all
this?" she asked.

Certainly. Well you must think it

She tried entreaties, expostulations,
and prayers-it was all in vain. The
resolve he had formed he would not
break.
At first she said to herself she would
be true to Paul. She would go home
and never mind the poverty, the priva-
tions, or anything else. Paul was
worth any sacrifice; Paul loved ner so
dearly that nothing should induce her
to stay away from him. Then she pic
tired to herself with what infinite de-
light he would receive her-how he
would love her, bless her for her truth

grew warm with love for him, her eyes
grew dim with tears.
But she was vain and weak; love and
vanity struggled hard for mastership

CHAPTER MI.

A few days passed. and Ismay VALID
ron began to feel at home at Bralyn.
She became accustomed to its splen-
doris. to it's nagnificence, to the new
aud beautiful life that opened to her.
She looked back with wonder on the
time that had passed-on her life in
the humble cottage. How had she
borne the quiet, the seclusion, the alb
sence of everything she now valued
most?
Lord Carlswood was most adroit in
his treatment of her He said nothing
that she could openly resent, but he
lost no opportunity of airing his Con-
sentative principles-of expressing his
contempt for all Liberals. all radicals
He was always inveighing against
overly. yet in such fashion that she
could take no offence. The time came
when, so far from feeling in the least
degree annoyed with him, she coin
cided with his every word; and when
the Master of Bralyn found that that

of our own race too-who would have
laughed all wealth to scorn, who would

have trampled all luxury under foot.
But lsmay is of a lighter nature. Her
master-passion is vanity. She will

said Mr.. Ford, remembering the white
haggard face of the young husband,
"and /, my lord. should not like to
change places with you, Il you sin in
this fashion"
Il will take all risk, was the quiet
reply.
Then the old lord began to tempt his
grandchild. He talked to her of the
great world. of its brilliant pleasures,
its gaities, its honors; he told her
how such beauty as hers would COM
mand universal homage-that in Lon
don. even amidst the noblest ladies,
she would be queen. He tempted her
with the most costly jewels. with the
most magnificent dresses; he lavished
every luxury upon her. He insiste

bred woman" thought Lord Carls-
wood, will make her presentable any
where"
After dinner, while he paused in his
conversation, she looked up at him
suddenly.
Il must not forget to write to Paul,
my husband" she said; "he will be
waiting so anxiously for a letter from
me-"
Lord Carlswood waved his hand with
courtly gesture.
will you oblige me, Mrs. Waldron,
while you honor me with your society,
by refraining from all mention of that
persons name?"
Her face flushed with anger-some
proud retort sprang to her lips; but
prudence won the day-she made no
reply.
After that Lord Carlswood was
kinder to her than ever. He took her
round the picture gallery, he talked to
! her. he allowed her to see how greatly
he admired her

ing, he gave her some faint idea of the
glories Of the house of Carlswood. He
showed her ancient armor that had
been worn by the heroes and warriors
of his race; he showed her the pictured
faces of men whose voice had ruled the
land: he showed her the portraits of
| ladies whose names had been proven
bal for beauty and grace.
Ismay listened without comment. In
| her own mind she was comparing the
magnificence of everything around her
with the poverty of her own little
woodland home Could she ever re-
turn and live contentedly there again
! Lord Carlswood watched her in 81

sion of her face; he kept her purposely
engaged in conversation.

room at midnight that she said to
herself

ROMANCE.

| daily scan the printed page
With praiseworthy persistence,
To see if some enlightened sage
Has learned of my existence.
Princes across my vision pass,
Dukes, Cockneys, gaily testing;
But l, alas, am middle class
And quite uninteresting.
No author seeks my daily haunts
To learn my views on "Jingo;"
No novelist l know of vaunts
His knowledge of my lingo.
They do not watch me at my desk
Or meal of squeak and bubble;"
I'm solid and unpicturesque,
And don't repay the trouble.
Yet though, dear authors, at a glance
You never would perceive it.
My life has got its small romance
To brighten and relieve it.
My thoughts, ideals, morals may
Not seem at first surprising,
But yet, methinks, they might repav
The pains of Analysing.

Yea! thus all doubts and dangers
passed,
My one lone ship will come to me.

CHAPTER XI.

OF the parting of Paul and Ismay
Waldron Mr. Ford could never endure
to think. He was a strong, cool
shrewd, calculating man. but when
he recalled that scene he was filled
with pain. The grief Of the husbands
honest manly heart, the silent anguish
on the handsome face, the despairing
love with which he clung TO wife and
child-all came wildly before him.
More than once the lawyer had been
tempted to tell her not to to go to
Bralyn-more than once lsmay was
tempted to clasp her arms round Pauls
neck and promise never to leave him.
He said nothing, but he looked like a
man on whom sentence of death had
been passed,
He exhausted his resources in order
that his wife might be nicely dressed,
He had bought dress of soft, lustrous
silk. and they both thought in their
simplicity that elegance could go no
farther.
This great lord will see that | have
taken care of you" said the young
husband. half sadly. half fondly.
The morning of departure came, and
his white face was pitiful to see.

and he clasped her in his arms.
''Ismay, darling, you will not let
them turn your heart from me-you
will not learn to love wealth and lux

me again."

how to soothe the fears of those who
love them

thoekht he had never beheld a greater
contrast. The husband was pale and
haggard, full of great passion, grief
the wife was beautiful. bright, and
radiant her loneliness enhanced by her
tasteful dress, her smiles brighter from
the consciousness of novelty. The lit
tie child looked from one to the other
with wondering eyes.
How can she leave him.. thought
MIR. Ford to himself she has a
strcnger nature than i thought"
He turned away when Paul Waldron
held his wife In his arms and tried to
say farewell.
.'You must enjoy yourself as much
as you can, Ismay. DO not sadden
yourself by thinking of me here all
alone. shall be happy in thinking of
you; and, oh. my darling. my darling. "
he cried. "be true 10 me! Remember,
the whole world can give you nothing
so precious as my love.
And then he watched her until she
had passed out of his sight. His love
for her was so great that IL in that
hour be could have foreseen all that
he had to suffer he would have died.
Mr.. Ford was surprised to find how
soon Mrs. Waldron recovered her
spirits. She had wept bitterly at
parting from her husband, but the
tears were soon dried. She enjoyed
