delicate oval chin and straight nose,
and fair, loose hair. But the portrait
was staid and serious, while Lucy's

ways. He shook his head in gentle
amusement at the grave dignity of the
picture.

said. addressing it aloud.

But certainly, Mademoiselle. It

Then, haven't they just done some
thing to him? Isn't there something

The grave bright smile flashed out
at her. In truth. Mademoiselle,
there is. The prince was shipped by
his jailers on the frigate Andromede
more than four months ago. for what
port is unknown. One has not heard
of him lately, and there are fears that
he may have suffered shipwreck. But
do not fear. 1t is the hope of France,
it is Frances destiny which the An

were no capable teachers of French In
the neighborhood, that Lucy's school
girl command of the language was
fast disappearing, and an accomplish
ment SO vital to lady was likely soon
to be lost-this saga of regret being
sung by the colonel at the dinner-table,
Francois had offered to teach madem-
oiselle his mother tongue. And the
colonel had accepted the offer.
"If you are not too busy, Chevalier.
And l suppose your-ah-accent-is
entirely good? One can not be too
careful, you know. At least we shall
not quarrel about the terms, for what
ever money you think right to ask |
shall be ready to pay" and the colonel
felt himself man Of the world and
extremely generous.
Father!" Lucy cried quickly.
Francois eyes were on his plate but
they swept up with their wide brown
gaze full on the colonePs face. Il am
not too busy, Monsieur the Colonel.
AS for my accent am a peasant, as
Monsieur knows, but yet | am IN
structed. l was for years at Saint
Cyr, the great military school OF
France. believe my accent is right.
AS for money! quick motion, all
French, spoke whole sentence. III
Monsieur insists on that-that must
finish it. To me 1t would be impos-
sible to take money for the pleasure
Of teaching mademoiselle." He
flashed at Lucy smile all gentleness,
and Lucy's eyes, waiting for that
smile, met his shyly.
The colonel clustered bit. but the
lessons were arranged as Francois
wished, twice a week throughout the
winter he rode over from Carnifax to
give them. And little by little he came
to know the small mistress of the ma
nor as few had known her. People
thought Lucy Hampton too serious and
staid for young girl; no one realized
that, her mother being dead and her
father such as he was, the clear-head'
ed little person had begun at ten or
twelve years old to know that she
must make her own decisions, ana
many of her fathers also. At four
teen she had taken the keys and the
RESPONSIBILITIES of the house, and now,
at sixteen, she was in reality the heac
of the whole great plantation. Inc
colonel, who would have been most In
dignant to De told so, leaned on her
in every detail, and it was she VINO
planned and decided and often execut-
ed the government of the little king
dom.
All this lay on the slender shoulders
of Lucy Hampton, and besides all this
she had begun in very childhood to
hold up the hands and do the thinking
of an incompetent father. 1t was not
wonderful that she was graver and
slower to frolic than other girls OF
sixteen. Her conscientious young
brain was full of care, and light-heart-
ednass of youth had never had
chance to grow in that crowded place.
Her cousin had come to live with them
only the year before, when his mother
had dfed, his father being dead long
ago; and Lucy knew quite well that
her father had planned that the two
should marry and unite the broad
acres of the Hamptons.
But the young longing for romance
which was in her in spite of the chok-
ing sober business of her life, re-
belled at this. She would not give
