Bralyn in safety, and her delight at \
the sight of that magnificent mansion
was unbounded.
Lord Carlswood almost lost his self
possession when his eyes fell first on
that beautiful face.
1T is Katrine," he murmured--
"Katrine risen from the dead"
Ismay had all the Carlswood grace
of manner and of movement. She went
to him at once.
will you love me little for my
mothers sake?" she said, quietly.
He kissed the white brow; he looked
at the violet eyes with their golden
light; he laid his hand on the shining
masses of waving hair.

best for your own sake, and no other.
Is this your son? You look so young
Ismay."
81 am not twenty yet, she replied
with a smile; and the smile made her
so beautiful that the old man looked at
her in wonder. He took the boy in his
arms.
"He has something of the Carlswood
face" he said, musingly.
Ismay proved, to her grandfather's
delight, that she too had some of the

though the novelty, the magnificence,
the luxury, must have struck her with
wonder, she said nothing. He had
J dreaded vulgar cries of admiration,
outbursts OF wonder-he need not

anything she did not understand, she

lighted with her; there was no trace of
, anything vulgar about her. He had
half expected that she would speak in
e broad provincial fashion, but her ac-

Il She repressed the startled cry that

n by the housekeeper to the superb suit
of rooms prepared for her. There was
; day and night nursery fitted up with

Her surprise was increased when a
, pleasant-looking maid came smiling

Then, when the wardrobe doors were
, opened, she saw wondrous treasures of

and Ismay with some little trepida-

The maid had selected a medi-toi-
lette-a dress of rich blue velvet trim

her waving masses of light brown hair
so as to show its silky abundance; she
placed white camelia in It: and then
, she opened jewel-case that lay on the
toilet-table. 1t contained suite of
, pearls. beautiful necklace. a bracelet,
, and earrings.
Ismay looked at herself when the
toilette was completed, with a sense
of wonder and fear. Was that lovely
