A tell stately figure stood between her and ,the light, dark gray eyes were looking into her own. She sew s handsome, noble face, a proud, princely head covered with clusters of fail-hair. It Was s hoe that from that moment stood out clear and distinct from all other faces. The gentleman smiled at the hall-bewildered expression of the dark eyes. ' You will say that it in a strange one per- haps,’ he said. ‘ 1 am Sir Marc Caryn." ' Sir Marc Caryl!) she repented.

She had in her more of her father‘s nature than her mother’s. . ‘ Your face is a poem.’ “id Sir Marc later on that sumo Christmas nightâ€"‘ a. poem that I should never tire of reading) She danced with him, Ihe talked to him ; more than one amused glance followed them â€"she with her dark Venetian beauty, he with his Saxon comeliness ; they seemed to have forgotten the world. Once Sir Mere took her to the great western window in the broad corridor, and, drawing aside the hang- ing, he said to herâ€" . ‘ Look, Miss di Cynthaâ€"I want you to see the poetry of an English Chriltmas.’ Veronica cried out in wonder and awe" The sky was of a deep, dark, iathomless blue; the moon was full, and shone with a clear, silvery light; the earth lay white, still, and beautiful under the pale clear beams , the hard frost made the tall leafless trees look darker, and the boar-frost shone in the light of the moon. The wind’wailed amongst tlie trees, bending their tall heads and swaying the huge branches. ‘How beautiful !’ she cried. ‘ There is nothing in all Venice so fair as this. I thought there was no poetry in England ; but it is full of it. This looks like fairy- lsnd.’ ‘ You will try to love England.’ he said. ‘ I do love it withont trying.’ she replied. ‘ I could almost fancy there was some mys- terious reason why my heart should have warmed so greatly to it ; it seems more my home than Venice ever did.‘ He was looking intently at her with his dark gray eyes. ‘ Ygu 'wiil not wish to return to Venice then 2 You would be - content to remain in England all your life 2’ She raised her beautiful face ; the dark eyes looked at the blue wintry night-sky, at the fair white earth, at the quaint shadows the moon made through the trees ; and then she turned to Sir Marc. ‘ Venice would seem a prison to me after this,’ she said; and as she said it she wonder- ed why he looked so bright and pleased. ‘ I should like you to see my home,’ he remarked. ‘ It is, I think, even more beau- tiful than Queen’s Chaos. It is called Werve- burst Manor, and it stands in the loveliest part of Sussex. We have music thereâ€"nap ture’s grandest. The sea lies at no great distance; and far away to the right stretches achain of hills, pmple hills, on which the light of the sun lies low. I have a passion- ate love for my home.’ She was silent. He went on. ‘ And I live there, Miss di Cyntha, all alone. Can you imagine that? I have no mother, no sister. There is a large house- hold of servants, but I am quite solitary. I want what the poets call an angel in the house.’ ‘ What is that 2' asked Veronica. ‘ That is English for a wife,‘ he replied ; nulljhe beautiful face drooped before his. or heart beat ; a strange pain, that was yet half pleasure, seemed to thrill her inno- cent soul. ‘ Where you go I quow,’ declared Sir Marc ; and {'1' that evening at 'cast he kept gin mm]. ' ‘ 1 must leave you,’ she said hurriedly. ‘ I am quite sure that Katherine wants me: CHAPTER VI.

The air was ; balmy with the sweet breath of lldwers, yet Sir Jasper had not recovered much of his strength. The doctors would not allow him to return to his duties 3 he must rest -if he would lire. In Vain the active, energetic statesman rebelled. He refused for a time to submit. until he saw the absolute neeeu. ity for it. Then he found Lord \Vynleigh of great use to him. He had been returned as member for llurstwood, and had made his maiden speechâ€"to everybody’s great surprise it was simply a masterpiece of elo- quence. Sir Jasper gave up some of his du- ties to the young politician, about whom 1 people prophesied great things. ..s,‘l_l l"'"l"' I" I v The Baronet was very pleuetl. It had al- ways been n source of nonow to him that he had nolnon to suoceed to his honours; but he loved the brave young nobleman in whom all Katherine's happiness seemed to ho cen- tred.

She [received more invitations than she could possibly accept. Everyone admired and liked her. But, when Lady Brandon had been in townfa few weeks, she decided upon returning. Sir Jasper was no better, and the doctor attending him did not think it advisable that he should delay ‘ consulting some eminent physician. So they ’ went home again, and, as he looked at his“ two daughters, the master of Queen's Chsoe was struck afresh. Katherine's animated ' loveliness and Veronica' s pale beauty seem- ' ed to have acquired fresh lustre.

A cruise to Norway had more ‘ charms for him than a season in London. He had written to say that he hoped to'plls through Hurstwood in July or August. and" would very much like to spend a few days there, to which Sir Jasper had replied by1 sending him a most cordial invitation, “nosed ing shrewdly what was the attraction, so that Veronica had that to look forward “13‘ and the knowledge of it made her profoundly indifferent to all the homage ofl‘ered her. ‘ The olil bitter struggle Was still going 0'. in Sir J asper s mind. What should he do His heart was torn with a thousand doubts a thousand fears. There was hardly an hail of the twenty- four during which he did up again and again review all his reasons am doubts.
