Breakfast was over at Wolver- holme Castle, and the house party had gathered on the broad terrace and were busy reading their corâ€" respondence and the morning pa~ ers. The Earl was next to Mr. reel Josephs, who was scanning the City article of the Times. “I see that Canadian Pacifics have gone up seven pointsâ€"that ought to suit you,” he said. to Lord Wolverholme.

There had never passed between them a word or an act that might have been called flirtation, but Re- bekah had lost her heart. Lord I-larecastlc was her girlish ideal, and as she began to appreciate his straightforward manliness, she fell madly in love with him. Harecastle was the last person who would have suspected this, for he was modest sentence stood out plainly, and she could not help reading it. “You will doubtless be interested to hear that Lord Harecastlc is engaged to Ethel Fetherston.” Her suspicions were immediately aroused, for she had long wished that her niece should marry Lord I-l'arecastle, whom she thought was worthy of being her husband. The conviction came to her that Rebe- kah loved him, and that the news of his engagement was the cause of “Well, what is it 2” he said irriâ€" tably. “She has received a letter from a friend, which says that this en- gagement is an accomplished fact." “I don’t believe it.

There had followed a magnificent game of bluff, with millions as the stake. But Joel knew to the full the value of the land that he possessed, and meant to have his proper share. The conflict was a sharp one, and :‘those behind De Beers quickly rea- lized that they were dealing with one as clever as themselves.

I-ler color left her face as she read, and the letter trembled inhcr fin- gers. With an effort she controlled herself, and looked apprehenswely at her father and aunt. They had not noticed her agitation. and she sighed with relief. She rose from her chair and walked quietly into the house. As soon as she reached her bedroom and hadshut the door, she threw herself on to the bed, and dry passionate sobs racked her frame. Her life had been one long sucâ€" cession of wishes that had been gratified upon their expressmn, but now her greatest desire was doom- ed to disappointment. The letter was from Cicely Stanton, and anâ€" nounced the engagement of Lord Harecastle to Miss Ethel Fetherson.

The mere act of loving had been happiness, and there wasl always the belief and hope that his kindness, and affectionate manner to lier,-'betokcned an affection that would end in marriage. She looked back upon the past months, and was obliged to own that neither by word or deed had the loss of his wife, and the loveilie led her to think that-he loved. that he bad When she was still in her teens, his ambition‘ returned With increased force, and he decided that her fu- ' soon came to lazished on her he‘her. . be transferred to his 'daugliter.lstowed her paSSIOn l The feeling that-she had be- unasked, and where it was not wanted, added to her anguish of soul.
