CHAPTER VII.

Vera Nevill went to stay week at
Shadonake.
On the afternoon of the Sd day of Jan
uary Eustace Daintree drove his sister
in-law over to Shadonake and deposited
her at the stone-colonnaded door of that
most imposing mansion, which she enter
ed exactly ten minutes before the dress
ing bell rang, and was conducted almost
Immediately upstairs to her own room.
Some twenty minutes later there are
still two ladies sitting on in the small
tea room, where it is the fashion at Shad-
onake to linger between the hours of five
and seven, who alone have not yet moved
to obey the mandate of the dressing bell.
''What is the good of waiting?" says
Beatrice, impatiently, "the train is often
late, and, besides, he may not come till
the nine o'clock train"
THAT is just what want to wait for, :"
answers Helen Romer. Il want just to

Beatrice sits down again on the arm of
the sofa. and resigns herself to her fate:
but she looks rather annoyed and vexed
about it. Mrs. Romer PAGES the room
feyerishly and impatiently.

asks Beatrice.
Il could hardly see her in her hat and
thick veil; but she looked as if she were
handsome.
''She is beautiful says Beatrice, EN-
phatically, land Uncle Tom says"
"Hush!' interrupts Helen, hurriedly.
''Is not that the sound of wheels? Yes
it is the carriage"
She flies to the door.
"Take care, Helen" says Beatrice,
anxiously; don't open the door wide,
don't let the servants think we have been
waiting; it looks so bad-so-so unlady-
like
The two girls stand close together list

could ever have guessed how her heart
was beating.

AS the young men entered the inner hall
Helen stepped boldly forward out of the
shelter of the tea room, and held out her
hand to Captain Kynaston.
Maurice looked distinctly annoyed, but
of course he shook hands with her.

VALENTINES OUT OF DATE.
Original Verse, Flowers or Candy Are
Now the Proper Gifts,

Original Verse, Flowers or Candy Are
Now the Proper Gifts.
Valentines are out of date That is
the edict of society. When the 18th of
February comes around now the proper
caper is to write to your lady fair few
choice stanZas of valentine verse, or, in
case of your inability to construct proper
rhyme, send around few punches of vio-
lets or sweet roses or nice box of candy
"a heart shaped box preferred, Of course
all tied up with pretty silk ribbons. The
flowers and the candy may not last as
long as the poetry, but the flowers will
be prettier, the candy will taste better and
both will be more appreciated.
When it is said that valentines are out
of date the statement has to be made, of
course, with some reservation. They are
out of date as gifts between fashionable
adults, but among children they are popu-
lar still. Every little lad and lassie
watches for the postman on the morning
of st. Valentines day, Of course, and is
disappointed if the mail brings no love
message, no little embossed and painted
Cupid. What is meant by the statement
that valentines are out of date is that the
day of the three-story, fused and fuzzy,
over which young ladies used to go into
ecstasies of delight and young men used
to go into bankruptcy, has long been pass
ed. The custom of sending that sort Of
remembrance is as dead as the custom of
New Years calling. 1t was never SEN
sible custom anyway, for no young man
felt really repaid in putting a weeks sal
airy into gift to young lady when, be-
cause of the mystery and secrecy that
have to be observed in sending Valentines
he could not accompany it with his card.
It was altogether too discouraging to
have his hated rival get the credit for
sending sentimental lot of poetry all
done up in fluffy expensiveness for which
he had cheerfully emptied his pockets and
''gone broke Valentines of that sort
have had their day and belong now to the
sweetly remembered past.

1t was quite true what Mr.. Thomas
Esterworth had said, that Vera was en-
gagged to Sir John Kynaston.
1t had all come about so rapidly, and
withal so quietly, that, when Vera came
to think of it, it rather took her breath
away. She had expected it. Of course;
indeed, she had even planned and tried
for it; but, when it had actually come to
her, she felt herself to be bewildered by
the suddenness of it.
One thing vexed her.
What will your mother say, john
she had asked, the very first day she had
been engaged to him.
''It will not make much difference to
me, dearest whatever she may say.
Nor in truth would it, for Sir John, as
we have seen, had never been devoted
son, nor had he ever given his confidence
to his mother.
'But it must needs make difference
to me- Vera had insisted. 'You have
written to her, Of course"
"Oh, yes; I wrote and told her | was
engaged to you

love or something"
subject of much Importance. But Vera
was hurt that Lady Kynaston had not
written to her.
81 will never enter any family where
am not welcome" she had said to her
lover, proudly.
And then Sir John had taken fright,
for she was so precious to him that the
fear of losing her was becoming almost
as nightmare to him, and, possibly, at
the bottom of his heart he knew how
feeble was his hold over her. He had
written off to his mother that day a let
ter that was almost command, and had
told her to write to Vera.
This letter was not likely to progresses
Lady Kynaston, who was masterful
little lady herself, in her daughter-ln-
laws favor; it did more harm than good.
She had obeyed her son, it is true, be-
cause he was the head of the family and
because she stood in awe of him, but the
letter, thus written under compulsion,
was not kind-it was not even just. Such
as it was, Vera put it straight into the
fire directly she had read it; no one ever
saw it but herself.
II have heard from your mother" she
said to Sir John.
Eyes? / am very glad. She wrote ev-
erything that was kind, no doubt"
II dare say she meant to be kind,
said Vera; which was not true, because
she knew perfectly that there had been
no kindness intended But she pursued
the subject no further.
II hope you will like Maurice" said
Sir john presently; "he is good-heart-
ed boy, though he has been sadly extrav-
agant and given me good deal of trou-

Eyes, eventually; but you will meet him
first at Shadonake."
Now, by this time Vera knew that the
photograph she had once found in the old
writing table drawer at Kynaston was
that Of her lovers brother Maurice.
