Ana clifford pointed out Q very tali'
well looking young gentleman, with
saffron-colored mustache, who was gy-
rating, at the rate Of a great many
miles an hour, round the room with Inc
elder Miss Tenant
II am very much obliged to you
said Jane, when a moments thougnt
had told her what Clifford meant
am very much obliged, but don't
want to waltz with the Austrian, Or
with any other stranger"
"And when / am obliged to dance
with any one else, then2"
Jane could not see the positive neces-
sity for his doing so. and her crystal
clear eyes told Clifford what she
thought.
.sYou are unlike all other women pc
WHISPERED tenderly, for her intense
simplicity ministered most deliciously
to his seIf-love, claiming him closer
than ali well-instructed encouragement
could have done.
..You don't care for admiration bit.
You are"
The rest Of the sentence was only

and which, at his wish, Jane walked
through in company with Mr.. Robert
Nash, who, until this night, had never

after they had taken one or two turns
in silence. Suppose we go upstairs
and look after those whist players, !
don't think it right of you to lose sight
of Miss Lynch and the vicar as You
do"
Jane laughed, and was ready to do
anything Clifford proposed.
When they reached the iirst landing,
however, sudden, or it appeared to
Jane a sudden, thought made Mohun
wish to visit his ancestors in the pic
tlre gallery instead Of the vicar and
Miss Lynch in the card room.
"The gallery is sure to be cool, and
dim lamplght is the best time Of all
for first seeing the grim old pictures.
You have never been there, Miss
Grand?''
No, never; this was the first time
Jane had ever been inside the house
at Yatton.
eThe first but not the last, hope"
whispered Clifford, softly, as he opened
and closed after them the door Of the
long, dim lighted gallery Miss Grand,

generally; some time by daylight you
can become acquainted with them one

the pictures by daylight"
''You like the noise and glitter Of the

summer midnight.
''Jane, what do You think Of Vat
TOM"
She dropped her hold upon his arm.
She turned from him with whitening
cheek and trembling lips.
'N9r. Mohun, III believe like Vat
TOM
.You believe? You are not quite
sure about it, thenT
"Oh, I am sure like it I have
known no place but Yatton since was
a little child"
'Why do you turn away from the
window? Are you eoldY
She was striving to hide her face
