CHAPTER VII.

There was a crowd gathered round
the door of the baron's house in Carlton
House Terrace; the people were watch
ing the guests arrive in dozens, for the
baroness was giving grand reception.
There were roses everywhere, twining
round the marble pillars in the hall and
round the rails of the wide staircase,
roses white, roses red, roses of all colors
in profusion. Sybil thought she had
never seen a prettier sight in her whole
life.
The baron and baroness stood at the
head of the staircase to receive their
guests. If the former had not the aris-
tocratic presence one would have expect
ed from a member of such an old family
as the Pallisers nobody criticised him
for it was his wife, and not himself, who
was the cynosure of all eyes, and he was
content that it should be so.
Stately and beautiful she looked in her
gown of priceless old lace, and the Pal
| User diamonds had never adorned a more
queenly head than hers. Who would
have guessed that she hid angry, Jealous
| thoughts beneath that calm exterior, and
that it was the bitterest moment in her
life when, smiling still, she gave her
| hand to SybHT
As Miss Ashworth and her young cou-
sin passed into the first of the brilliantly
| lighted reception rooms the first person
they recognized was Mr.. Chantley, who
came eagerly forward.
1T is very good Of you to come" he
said, as he took the old lady's hand, but
his eyes sought those OF the younger
guest even as he spoke.
He introduced SybiI and Miss Ash
worth to Lord Fairbank, and was de-
lighted when he found that the old lady
and his uncle had only to renew an ac-
quaintance begun many years before in
foreign city.
Now Mr.. Chantley was free to talk
fer few minutes to the girl whose pres.
cree made his pulses beat so fast The
band was playing dreamy waltz. He
led her to an ottoman shaded by feathery
palms.

did not know of course that Sybn and
Hugh were not meeting this evening as
strangers
Hugh gave the baron's message, and
Mr.. Henrikson, asking him to be seated
aud excusing himself to the ladies for a
few minutes, went away with all speed,
for he and the baron were good friends,
and he had a great admiration for the
tail and stately baroness.
Sybil had recognized Hugh as soon as
he arrived that evening, though after the
first glance she had studiously looked
away. 1t was only two years since that
day he had kissed her in the train and
held her in close embrace, though she
had had so many experiences since then,
had travelled so much and met so many
people, that it seemed like ten.
She let Cousin Anne do all the talking,
and, though Hugh's eyes rested with
evident pleasure on the fair young face,
he did not try to draw her into the con-
versation. Diana's eyes were watching
them. Her heart was filled with jeal-
ousy.
She spoke to Mr.. Henrikson as soon
as there was lull in his conversation
with the baron.
He turned beaming face to the bar
oness. 1t was easy to see in what light
this young man regarded the young girl.
She might turn it to account, she
thought
"That is Sybil Waterton. I met her
and her brother, and Miss Ashworth, that
sweet old lady, in Switzerland last sum
mer. Sybil, Tom and / climbed a great
deal together, while the old lady watched
our progress through the telescope on
the hotel terrace. The boy and girl were
enthusiastic mountaineers."
The last act was beginning and con-
versation was impossible. AS soon as it
ended Mr.. Henrikson made his adieux
and FASTENED back to his friends. BY
this time Hugh too had said good night,
had pressed the little hand of the girl
who had come again into his life 70 re-
ceive this time his hearts high worship
for ever more.
Hugh waited to see his cousin and the
baron drive away, and then he took a
hanson to Cromwell Road During the
long drive he was haunted by the tones
of a silyery girlish voice, by a pair of
gray eyes, and by the sweetest face in
the whole world-at least in his opinion.
Before he went to bed he wrote his
first sonnet, and very creditable per-
Torrance it was-fourteen lines, and a
pretty picture of Sybil, as he saw her,
was on the paper.
ITO my love" should be the title, and
tomorrow it should go to the magazine
which had published his series of adyen-
lures.
by Jovew he said, as he put his mi
tials at the end. Il didn't know / had it
in me. Pm sure my Latin verses at
Elton were awful"

sv intends 70 contest it. Anthony
seems very pleased about it."
aIndeed!v said Cousin Anne, but she
did not know the name, and therefore
1yas not much interested.
But there was one listener who was,
and though Hugh's name never passed
her lips, through this stray piece of in
formation she became an ardent reader
Of the London paper which arrived every
morning for her old cousin, much to the
surprise of that lady, WHO thought she
took wonderful interest in parliament
ary affairs for one so young.
The weeks passed away in delightful
sightseeing, and in the early autumn
thew returned to London, for Tom had
10 prepare for his entrance examination.
After leaving him at University college
N October Miss Ashworth took Sybil
away, this time to Paris, to spend the
winter.
They had gay time in the French
capital, for Miss Ashworth had large
circle of friends, and Sybil was made
welcome everywhere, both on her own
and Cousin Anne's account.

Feeding Pet Flowers.

Come and see me feed my flower
pets" he said.
And he led the way, bearing some
chopped raw fish in saucer, TO a huge
aquarium. The bottom of the aquarium
was covered with flos fers In that silent
submarine garden clumps of beautiful
bright growths, yellow, white, pink, blue,
swayed gently in the clear water.
Watch" he said, and he thrust down
a small morsel of fish on a rod. Imme-
diately a white flower like a daisy drew
towards the fish, bending on its stalk Z;
is wrapped its petals, like slim white
fingers, about the food.
Another" he said, and this time a
yellow flower bent forward and took the
morsel.
''Isn't it wonderful" he cried. 'Irv-
ing, thinking flowers! Before they knew
me, they would turn away, they would
shut all their petals tight when / tried 20
feed them. But they are my friends
now. these sea aIemOnes."
