pretend to tell you, it might be another
story altogether. But it doesn't much
matter, depend ont, for Madame Grier-

in 'em. Well, as l was telling you, while
l was weighing over in my mind the ques-

thought to myself, there's Sir Launce

arrange a match there, | should get rid
of both my difficulties at the same time,
and turn the tables nicely upon Madame
Grierson's revenge, by making her own

l arranged that Constance and you should
be introduced to each other at this ball,
for I'm a great believer in first impress

of themselves and look their best at such
times. But you should have seen the rage
that Mr.. Wylie fell into when he heard
what I'd done. l don't know what he
didn't threaten; but as far as the girls
concerned he's no power But"
He stopped suddenly, nudged his COM

which led into the refreshment room.

Bad Poetry.

"In the Days of Scott" recently pub
Hshed, there are two anecdotes about
Sir Walter SCOTS children in connec
ton with his poem, The Lady of the
Lake"
One day his daughter was met by
James Ballantyne, the publisher, in
her fathers library, and asked what
she thought of the poem. She replied
that she had not read 1t, and added:
Papa says there is nothing 50 bad
for young people as reading bad poet.

SCOTS son Walter returned from
school one day with evidences of hav-
ing been engaged in fight. His IA
Their asked him what he had been fight

called classic" and had resented it.
A little questioning showed that
Young Walters schoolfellows had nick
named him 1.-THE Lady of the Lake"
which name the boy did not under
stand except as reproach to his man.

Arthur thought of the picture that lay
hidden away in that lonely chamber down
in, Cornwall, the story Of which he had
never forgotten. Was this decay of the
family the mere natural course of events
or was it that terrible curse working its
fulfillment?
Father" he exclaimed do not let
any thought of me add to your Affections.

THAT is not sufficient As the repre-
sentative of an ancient name, you have
other duties to think Of besides mere per-
sonal success-the preservation and trans
mission of the name which has been hand
ed down to you through so many CEN
turtles. But l am talking bombast," he
added, suddenly checking himself; land it
is time came to the end of my explana-
tons. All the mortgages and debts were
bought up, some ten years ago, by rich
'parvenu, who is since dead. From his

told him that payment was impossible.
He then suggested a most extraordinary
ompromise-that an alliance should be
contracted between my son and his niece.
By a strange will, the fortune had been
bequeathed to the young lady under the
condition that she should marry into none
but a good family, and before her twenti-
eth birthday, l requested little time
for consideration, and wrote to you imme-
diately upon the subject. l leave the de-
cision in your hands. The lady, l under

l a free agent; but in it lies the only
hope of Penrhyddyn."

an alliance to which you are reconciled,

And so it was agreed between them;
and the volunteer ball at Keldon, by Mr..
Grierson's desire, was to be the scene of
the first meeting between Arthur and Con-
stance.

CHAPTER VI.

On the day after the meeting between
Constance and Stafford, at about 4 o'clock
In the afternoon, a gentleman was seated
before a table covered with papers, in a
private apartment of an old-fasbioned
hotel In the neighborhood of st. James
street.
That man was Sir Launce Penrhyddyn.
He was busily engaged in writing letters
he looked anxious and careworn.
Presently the servant Daniel, after a
preliminary knock, entered the room to
announce Master Arthur"
Ten years had wrought but little
change upon the old servants iron fea-
lures he was much the same man as we
described him on the day that he found
his young master gazing upon the portrait
in the western turret.
Arthur followed upon the heels of his
announcement and going up to his father
with glow of pleasure upon his face,
warmly grasped his hands. But for the
expression of the tell-tale eyes, a locker
on would have thought that Sir Launce
received his son but coldly. Requesting
Daniel to leave the room, he motioned
Arthur to take a seat opposite him.
Father, you are looking anxious-un-
WE'LL" said the young man, feelingly;
"what has happened? Let me know the

With a sad, sinking heart the young
man left his fathers presence, and repair
ed to his own chambers. The story OF
struggles and disappointments had pro-
duced profound impression upon him
an impression rendered deeper by the
dark sense of fatalism that to him was
apparent through all. Our race is
doomed !" he murmured to himself
Struggle as we will, feel that it is use
less. Eleonore de Scissors vengeance
will be consumniated at last. Were it not
for my fathers sake l would let all go,
and find an unknown grave in some for
eign land"
The volunteer ball at Keldon was a
great event. 1t was crowded with the
elite of the neighborhood, as the local
newspaper afterwards informed the world
playing at officers being then the favor
lite amusement of the idle young gentle
men of the county.
1t was in anything rather than an ex-
hilarated mood that Arthur, accompanied
by his servant arrived early in the even
ing at Keldon. He at once proceeded to
the principal hotel, dined, dressed, and
then departed in a cab for the Town
Hall.
Inwardly matchmaking the eccentric
ity of Mr.. Grierson, for choosing so sin
gular a place as public ball room for a
first introduction, and feeling somewhat
awkward at the thought of mingling
alone among a crowd, not one individual
of whom was known to him, he entered
the room.
Mr.. Grierson, rubicund faced, pleas
ant looking man of about sixty years of
age, with a retired tradesman like appear
ance, was impatiently awaiting his COM
ing: and most cordial was the young
mans reception.
In due time he was introduced to sew
eraI people, who bowed very low to Sir
Launce Penrhyddyn's son, and, lastly, to
Constance herself.
Arthur was greatly struck both by her
beauty and her manner. She was indis-
putably the belle of the room, and was as
conspicuous among the crowd of over
dressed dowdies by the simple taste of her
dress as by the refined beauty of her fea-
lures.
Nor was Arthur Penrhyddyn unworthy
of so lovely a partner. Full dress is
crucial test of a mans appearance; it
either imparts to him the look of a waiter
or of a gentleman. Arthur's slight and
graceful figure, and pale, almost effemi-
nate face, never appeared to such advan
tage as when he was thus attired.
As they took their places in their first
ouadrille, they became the cynosure of
every eye, and buzz, not of admiration,
but of envy, mingled with the first bars
of the music.
Arthur began very soon to think that it
would not be quite so difficult to obey his
fathers wishes as he had at first mag
ined. They danced together the first two
