ton Of a tragedy such as had never
befallen the Lynnes Of Lynnewolde
They we're all unconscious Of the ap
preaching shadow Philip did not
stop TO think why he fingered by
Agathas side, and drank in every
tone Of her voice. The beautiful
Andaluslan never attempted to define
the charm that rlyeted her She
looked at Lord Lynne's face. and
knew she had never seen one so good,
so noble or so true, but she did not
dream where love OF that face would
lead her.
This park is very beautiful" said
Lord Lynne, turning suddenly to
Inez; But England scenery must
seem cold to you after the glowing
landscapes of Spain"
90 not talk to me OF Spain, II you
please, Lord Lynne" said Inez, weari-
ly. Il want to forget | want to
cheat myself into believing that |
only began to live when | came here"
A look Of sadness Swallowed for a
moment her brilliant face, and dimmed
her large dark eyes, and in that mo-
rnent Inez was lnexpressibly beautiful.
Poor Inez'" murmured Agatha;
twas not the Sonora Monteleone kind
to your
Kind" she replied; yes, of course
whenever | saw her; but she was an
invalid for many years before she
died. Tell us about your mother, Lord
Lynne Is she pleased to come to
live at Lynnewolde?"

warmly. you will like my mother |
have always considered her one Of the
most perfectly wcIl-bred women in the
world. You are both left in some
measure to her care You know your
father wishes you to live with my
mother until"
Here Lord Lynne stopped, and a
warm flush rose TO his brow Not in
the presence OF that sweet ana gentle
Agatha, or Of her imperlally beautiful
sister could he utter the word that
trembed upon his lips; not in their
presence could he say one word which
would recall to them the will.

FOR her beauty though but for her
ready wit and grace.
That afternoon Mrs Lynne arrived
and then for the first time the two sis

them, and they all united in persuad-
Ing the daughters of the late Lord

be made Mrs Lynne declared that
she should never be happy at Lynne
