A GILDED SIN.

So in dying I bless you and thank you.’ Janper succeeded him. . Some months after- wardsalittle daughter was born to him, who by his mother’s wish was called Kathe- rine, and, when Katherine was a child of seven, Lady Brandon died. Then Sir Jas- per and his wife took up their abode at Queen's Chace. The time ca-ne when his name was a tower of strength in the land, when men rejoiced to see him at the head of tho mightiest party when he became the very hope of the nation from his clear calm judgment, his earnest tmth. his marvellous talents. No one eVer asked if he were har- py in the midst of it all. He wac courted, popular, famous, but his face was not 'the face of a happy man. and onceâ€"his wife never forgot itâ€"he had fallen asleep after perhaps the most brilliant reception ever accorded to a public man, and, when Lady Brandon went to rouse him, the pillow on which his head had lain was Wet with tears.

Seventeen years had passed since the birth of Katherine Brandon and no other child had beer given to Queen’s ()hnce. The long- wiathfur heir had never appeared. and the hopes of both parents were centred in the beautiful young heiress. She was just seventeen, and a more perfectly lovely ideal of on English girl could not have been found. To look at her was a pleasure. The tall slender figure with its perfect lines and curves, the face with its glow of youthful health, the subtle grace of movement, the free may carriage, the quick graceful step, Wore all as pleasant as they were ram.

When old Sir he called his son to his his trembling hands in she had more colour. greater vigour. Her hair was of golden brownâ€"pure gold in the sunlight, brmm in the shade. Her eyes Were of a loVely violet hue; they looked like pansies steeped in dew. Her face had a most exquisite colour, lilies and roses so pelfectlyhleudetl that it was im- possible to tell where one began and the other emlecl. It was an English face â€"uo 0 her laud Could have produced such a one. The mouth was beautiful. the lips Were sweet and arch, revealing little white teeth that shown like pearls; a lovely dimpled o‘hin a white room! throat, and beautiful hands, completed the list of charms. There was auair cf vitality and health about her that was irresistible‘ "‘ She Was as English iii character as in face She had none of the charcteristics of the silent, courtly race of Brandons‘ She was essentially Saxon, true in thought, word, and deed, sincere, earnest,l_ trhnsparently candid, generous, slightly prejudiced and intolerant, proud with a quick‘, bright pride that was but “ a virtue run to seed'9â€"a most charming, lovable characterf, not perhaps of the most exaltel type. She‘would never have made wpoetess or LR tragedy-queen ; there was no sad, trowel story in her loves ly young face ; but she was essentially, womanly, quickly moved to sweetest pity and compassion, keenly sensitive, nohly generous. All her short sweet life she had been called “Heiress of Queen's Chace." She was woman enough to he more than pleased with her lot in lifeâ€"she was proud of it She Would rather have been heiress of Queen‘s Chace. she declared, than Queen of England. She loved the place, she en~ joved the honours and advantages connected with it. She had inherited just sufficient of her mother’s character to make her appreci~ ate the advantages of her position. The great difference hetWeen them was that Lady Brandon loved the Wealth, the pomp, the honours of the World, while Katherine loved its brightness and its pleasures Sir Jasper was very much attached to his daughter; his own Wife never reminded him of his lost love, but his daughter did. Something in her bright, glad youth. in her sunny lnughtei‘, in her bright eyes, remind- ed him of the bed-utiful Venitinn girl whom he had land so madly. In these later years all the love of histljfe had centred in his daughter, all the little happiness that he enjoyed came from herâ€"with her he forgot his life-long pain, and was at peace. She was heiresa of Queen’s Chace. He had taken the greatest pride and care in her education. She was accomplished in the full sense of the word. She spoke French, Italian and German. She sang with a clear sWeet voice. She danced gracefully, and was no mean artist. Her father had taken care that no pains should be spared in her education, no expense, no labor. The re- sult was that she developed into a brilliant. ly.accomplished girl. He was delighted with her. Kntherino Brandon had made her debut; royal eyes had glancégl kindly at the fair, bright young face. She had more lovers than she could count; 3 beauty 3 great heir- ess, clever, accomplished, with a laugh like clear music and spirits that never failed, no Wonder that some of the most eligible men in England were at her feet. She only laughed at them at present. It was the time for smiles ;|teurs would come afterwards. If there was one she liked a little better than the rest, it was Lord “'ynleigh, the second non of the Earl of \Voodwyn, the poorest Earl in England. Lord Wynleigh was handsome and clever. He had had a hard fight with the world, for he found it difficult to keep up appearances on :1 small income; hut he forgot his poverty and everything else when he fell in love with charming, tmtalising, imperious Katherine Brandon. \Vould she ever core for him? At present the difference in her behaviour towards him and her other lovers was that she laughed more at him, ,nfl‘cctcd greater indifference to him, but never looked at him and uhe flushed crimson at the mention of his name. That same year Sir Jasper was much over- tasked with work; he was so illss to be com- pelled to consult a physician, who told him that he could not always live at high pres- sure, and that if he wished to save himself he must give up work, and rest for a time. In order to do this, the illustrious states- man decided on going to Queen’s Chnce. the home that he loved so Well. .‘lome one sug- gested that he should go abroad. He shrank with horror from the idea. Sotho whole family wentto Queen‘s Chane. Sir Jasper invited a party 0! friends for Christmw. Until Christmas he promised himself perfect 'rest. It was at the begin- ning of October-thutghe receivcdfltho hiker v 1879. No. 143 me if I have done Wronglâ€"to late “1‘ English. My lesson may bear evil fruit of ' goodâ€"I know not.
