CHAPTER XIII.

With flushed cheeks and flashing
eyes, Lucille had told Lady Farnley
that she meant Ito be gay" and al
the moment she uttered the words she
was, without knowing it, at the turn
ing point of her life.
She set about being gay" with a
feverish eagerness that alarmed Mrs
Dalton and Lady Farnley, and even
made Marie Werner stare.
The London season was just over
and people were looking out for in
vitations to visit country houses, and
Lucille determined to fill the Court.
What is the use of having great
barrack of place if you keep it
empty all the year round?' she said
to Lady Farnley. 81 will have a lot
of people, mean to fill it. We shall
have dinner parties and picnics, and
what else is there?" she broke off,
stopping short in her restless pacing
of the room,
It was only a few days after Lady
Farnley's visit since her illness, and
Lucille was still pale and looked
thin and transparent, but there gilt
tered in the feverish, hectic light in
her eyes which Lady Farnley had no
ticed, and a touch of bright red shone
on her cheeks.
'Chere Ia the shooting" said Lady
rurniey. -T'nanks to Harry Herne,
suu nave nne stock of game, I'm
t3ld, dear. You could ask some men
down for the shooting"
yes, yes" assented Lucille, her
restless eyes closing for a second, as
she WINGED at the sound of Harry
Herne's name. We'll have the hal
full of guns" said Lucille, with a
short, mirthless laugh. What is the
use of having game if you don't
shoot them?"
Invitations were sent out, and as
the Court woods were known to be
well preserved and filed with game
and the mistress being the richest
heiress in the county, the invitations
were accepted with alacrity.
THE Court will be filled from Gel
lar to garrett" said Marie Werner
who was half alarmed by the change
in Lucille.
Then put some of the men in the
hay loft" said Lucille.
And the servants murmured Mrs
Dalton. The present staff, though
sufficient for our wants, is scarcely
large enough"
Then hire others!" retorted Lu,
ellie.
So a chef from London and a dozen
extra footmen and maids were en-,
gagged. and the ball was set rolling.
Larry Farnley had undertaken the
selection of the guests, and, still anx.
ious and uneasy, she acquitted herself
well.
There was a countess and her
daughter-no one ever saw the earl
who was supposed to be always fish
ing; one of her majesty's ministers
and his wife, a couple of professional
beauties, Lord and Lady Evelyn, from
the other end of the county; Lord
Claude Grandy, the popular guards

Have 1? Yes, suppose have. But

laughed.
Lady Farnley sat down, still cycling
her with tender pity"
I'm glad I'm back" she muttered;

you
ooh, everybody has been more than
good to me-" said Lucille; "but you
shall pet and caress me as much as
you like, dear Lady Farnley."

meant it. And what's all this about
Harry Herne, dear? That's another
surprise-Harry Herne and Susie?"
They were alone in the room at
this moment, but Marie Werner stood
listening outside the door.
Lucille WINGED, but she turned and
looked the old lady steadily in the
face.
Harry Herne and Susie?" she said
lightly. "Oh, he has gone, and so has
she. He is gone TOTO Australia

to be quite gay now that I have re
covered-quite gay" and she turned
and stretched out her hands with a
laugh, her face flushed, her eyes fash
ing.
But somehow Lady Farnley did not
laugh in harmony.

PREVENT CANDLES FROM
BENDING IN SUMMER.

Almost every hostess who enter
tains during the warm summer ev-
enings knows how difficult it is to
keep an attractive looking table
when one of the principal means of
overwhelmingly, the candles
persists in curling itself over to one
side in place of observing an up
right position. Even the prettiest
and most artistic of candle shades
that are all awry are far from being
things of beauty, and frequently
there are still worse results from
the same dainty affairs taking fire
and filling the air and incidentally
covering the table with bits of char
