The naughty milliner, having by her

to bow her proud neck in order to

had to stand on tiptoe to reach the

The scorn Of the naughty milliner
for anyone who had for Noble Pur-

Three weeks passed.
The pavilion had been built and
was being hung with gayly painted
bannerets to give the effect of the
Colosseum as seen at sunset A COW

with the house was being lined with
immense hydrangeas and lit from the
roof by lamps that resem bled stars.
\ few days before the day fixed
for the event, Alma. who had been too
much occupied to see me every day in
the boudoir to which I confined my
self, came up to give me my instruc-
tons
The entertainment was to begin at

Cleopatra and to receive my guests in

I was sick and ashamed when I
thought of this vain and gaudy scene
and the object which l supposed it
was intended to serve.
The end of it all was that wrote
to my father, concealing the real
cause of my suffering, but telling him
he could not possibly be aware of
what was being done in his name and
with his money, and begging him to
put an end to the entertainment alto

The only answer | received was a
visit from Messy Macleod. I can see
her still as she came into my room,
the tall, gaunt figure with red hair
and irregular features.
Cousin Mary" she said. seating
herself stiffly on the only stiff backed
chair, and speaking in an impassive
tone, your letter has been received,
but your father has not seen it. his
health being such as makes it highly
undesirable that he should be dis

my letter had not been unnecessary,
but urgent and important, and II she

Nevertheless everybody seemed to
understand the inner meaning of the
Forthcoming reception, and in the
primitive candor of our insular man
ners some of the visits | received
+Were plainly embarrassing.
4 One Of the first to come was my
Gathers advocate, Mr. Curphy, who
smiled his usual bland smile and
i combed his long beard While he
thanked me for acting on his advice
not to allow a fit of pque to break
sup a marriage which was so suitable
from points Of property and posi-
+ ton.
How happy our father must be
TO see the fulfillment of his hopes" he
said Just when his health is fail
ing him, too! How good! How graf
8ifying!"
The next to come was the bishop,
who. smooth and suave as ever, con
graduated me on putting aside all
thoughts Of divorce, so that the OBJ
ject of my marriage might be full
filed and a good Catholic become the
heir of Castle Raa.
More delicate. but also more dis
tressing, was a letter from Father
Dan saying he had been forbidden
my husbands house, and Therefore
could not visit me. but, having heard
an angels whisper of the sweet JOY
that was coming to me, he prayed the
Lord and His Holy Mother to carry
me safely through.
