G rent had been the consternation at Queen's Chucc when Lady Brandon, in a. few curt words, said that Miss di Gyutlm‘s Wedding was postponed indefinitely. The worst of it was there came no solution to the mystery- whether there had been a quarrel or not no one could say. All that was known was that Sir Marc had loft quite suddenly one day, and that two or thrcc days afterwards those interested had been told to cease all preparations for the Wedding. . A GILDED SIN; N0 mm w: W more nstoni‘sh «1 than Kather~ inc when her mother tohl her the news ; and at first she refused to bclicw it. BY Tm: Al‘THOH or “DORA THORNB," “ \chnmzu AN 0 Punch," “A BRIDE mum Tm: SEA,” “ FROM GLOOM '1‘0 SUNMGuT," ‘EC. ‘ There is some mistake, mamma,’ sho cried ; ‘ I would more readily believe that Alton did not care for I110.’ ‘ Whoa: fault is it '3' inquired Katherine. ‘ Not Veronica’s ? I am quite sure that Ver- onica loved Sir Marc more dearly than I can tell. It always seemed to me that her love was her life. It cannot be Sir Marc's, for he loved the very grvund she stand on. I cannot understand it, mamma. “1131: does Veronica any ?’ ‘ L'nfm-‘tuuatcly there is no mistake,’ said Lady Brandon sadly. ‘\'othiu'I. She only looks unutterably sad undmise able, and bug. of me not to tnlk aim-1t it. ’ ‘I will go to her myself,’ said Katherine impulschiy. But Katharine would nnt he controllvd. She hastened up to Veronica‘s room and found her favourite standing by the window. ' ‘ It is useless, Knthcrino,’ returned Lady irnmlon. ‘ She will only be more miserable than ever.’ ‘ My darling, you have been ill 2’ she cried. ‘ Mnmma. says that you fainted.’ Then she started, for Veronica had turned round to greet her, and the change that had come over her was so terrible that the young heiress was shocked. Veronica’s face was pnle and worn. the dark eyes were made”; but there was in them a. look of fathumless “'00. ' Veronica,’ cried the girl, ‘it is true then! I can see from your face that it is true , there is no need to 115k a. question. You and Sir Marc have parted !’ 'I will not believe it! “'Imt has cmnc between you who loved each other so well ‘." ‘ I cannot tell ymx,’ replied Veronica. with n 1011; low sigh. ‘ You must tell mc,’ declared Katherine. ‘ I want to help you. I could not live and know that you were unhappy, Veronica. I must follow Sir Marc and bring him back.’ ‘ I cannot tell you anything about it Kn. thorinc,’ said Veronica. ' And yet I may tell you this. He asked me to do something for him, and I refused ; he placed the alter- nativc of parting before me, and I took it. You will ask me nothing more 3’ ' Yes,’ she said dreamy, ‘ We have parted, Katherineâ€"nut for an hour, a day, or a year, but for ever.’ ‘ No,’ she rcpficd, musinglyâ€"‘ that is, un- less you like to trust me more fully.’ Her voice had in it 9. ring of wear ' des- pomlcncy. her eyes were fixed with a strange dazed expression, her hmhlu were fuMcd and lay on her knees. She laukud up at Kather- inu. ‘ ‘ I cannot.'sai«l Veronica, with n shudder; ‘ he has gone, and we shall not meet again in this world , yet I wns worthy of his love. To me it seems that I have stood by him dyad and kissed him for tho last time.’ ' Kate, give me one prnmiae,’ she said-â€" ‘ just one. Tull me that you will never ro- ncw this subject. To renew it will be sim. ply to give me bitter pain. Promise mo that yoii will ncyerilo 89.’ Her face had such an imploring look that the young heiress could not resist. ‘ I do promise,’ she said ; and then for one minute the dreary cnhnncss of the beautiful face was broken. ' ‘ Kate, come and sit by me,’ she rcquvst- od ; ‘ let us talk ofy011â€"â€"u')t of incâ€"mi you and your bright life, your happy los'c.’ She took the young huircss caressingly into her arms. ‘ Come and tell me, dear, how happy you arcâ€"it will comfort mo :1 little. You are all the world to m 3â€"it will comfort me my much to hear that you are really happy ; talk to me about it.’ It seemed to the lone- ly desolate soul and the aching heart that there Would be some little support, some lit- tle comfort, in hearing that hc“ great sacri- fice had not been in vain-~iu knowing that Katherine would gain from herâ€"Veronica's “IQH'OW. ‘ It seems so selfish fur me to talk of buy- piuess while you are so sad, Vurouica.’ ‘ It will comfort mo,’ she plead-J you do not know why, but it will comfort me.’ ‘ 'l‘hcn,’ said the young heiress, ‘ I mu happy, Veronica. My life is so bright; so beautiful, that I would not change it for any other life.’ She paused. ‘ Go on,’ requested Veronica. ‘ I am rich.’ said tlio young gi'ri, ‘ and â€"I am like n childâ€"--I love my position. ] love my grand. beautiful inhorituucc.’ ‘You tyre sure of that,’ she questioned eagerlyâ€"J quite sure 2’ Then Veronica raised her head, and a faint smile came over her white troubled face. ‘ Yes, indeed I mn,’ replied Katherine ‘ No one could even guess how dearly I love the Clmce.’ ‘ Now tell me about your love,‘ said Var- onion. ' \Vhat can I tell you, dear, save that my low and my life are oneâ€"that I have no thought, or wish, or desire, thatdocs not begin and end in Alton? Nuw has that COmforted you I" ‘ Yes, more than anything you could have said. You could have thought of nolhing that would comfort me one half so much. You will leave me now, Kateâ€"I am the bet- tor for your c )ming. dearâ€"and wln-n we meet again all will be forgotten, except that we love each other.’ It had not been all in min then ; the sun of her life had set in (lnlkness iml gloom, but she had made one at least lumpy. So the ptist was mvntionod no more. “he tliell to bear her life. She neVor cumplainml. YSlxc was like a devoted (laughter (0 Lady Bran- don. She was the most loving of sisters to the young liciréss. But day by day slxe grew more and more and ; she grew pale and thin; ulw began to hope that lleayun would lake pity un her and let llCl’ die soon. So the winter months came round, and at Christmas preparations were begun for the marriage of the young heiress Lady Bran- don had iHVitcd a large circle of guests, and one of them, not knowing of the recent con- trelemps, having just returned from Spain, spoke of Sir Marc Cary", and said th: 1: he was gomg to take up his residence abroad. Veronica. overheard it. She did not speak; the lovely face grew paler, and a mist of un- shed tears dimmedthe beautiful eyes ; but soon afterwards she went to Lady Brandon’s room, her marvellous self-control gone at last. She stood hefore her with n look that Lady Brandon never forgot. ‘ You must let me go away,’ she said ; ‘ I cannot remain here. I cannothem‘it. You must let me go home to Venice to die.’ Then she cht as she had nevnr wept in her life before, as one who had no hopeâ€"â€" wept until Lady Brandon was nim‘mud, and she herself WM exhausted. Then Lady Brandon said to her-â€" ‘ You shall go; I will take you. You shall go to Venice. or where ynu will ; only waitâ€"wait, for my sake, until the wedding is ovor.’ ' So for the sake of the woman who had in- fluenced her so strongly she waited, but it seemed to her and to every one else that those days brought her nearer death. ‘Do people ever (lie of a broken heart ?' she lh )u3ht. ‘ A year ago I was strong and well. I had colour in my face and light in my eyes; 1 had strength in my limbs and joy in my heart. Now my strength has left me ; people look {grave when their eyes rest on me ; life is 9. heavy burden that I Would faiu My down -â€"and why? What has Imp- pom-«l ?

I shall send for him when I am «lying, and ask him to hold me in his strong arms.

CHAPTER KIL, AND LAST. ' Peace on earth.’ rang the Christmamholls â€"-' Peace on earth, ”nod-will toward men !’ The music came poaling over the snow, stir- ring men's hearts with the warmth nf'love. It was such a Christnms as had nut hmu seen for years, so bright, so clear. so frosty. Tho country-people said strange things must happen, for the hol‘ly was so full of hcrrics.

He had been, like every one alto, alarmed when he saw Veronica. Her pale. shadowy loveliness had at rtled him, and nnny of the whispered words between Ka- therine and himsrff Were about her. On - that (o‘hrishnas night she looked more fragile ‘ and more beautiful than ever By Lady Bram’lon's desire she wore a dress of costly black velvet. with a suite of superb rubiel 3 , but the white rounded arms had grown thin“ »_ and there was a shu‘iow over her beauty. :‘ She Was sitting watching Katherine's bright-H. face, flushed into greater brightness by his: lover', words, when one of the footlnen com- ing to her said, in a mysterious undertoneâ€"v ‘ You are wanted.

She was surmised to find the room badly lighted. '1 here was a. ruddy glow of fire~ light, and one lamp was burning dimly ; but it, was a large, lung roomfnnd the other half of it WM full of snft dark shadows. She entered and stood for some minutes in silent expectation ; there was no sound, no move« ment, and she never glanced to where the s nft. dark shadows lay. The red firefight fell v fall upon her fragile beauty, on tho Blends!“ figure and the white wasted arms. on the" bszultifut, pansiunnte, restless face and the - rubies that gleamc-l on her white throat. Presently from where the (lurk soft shadow: lay came a sigh. ‘ She lucked up. ‘ Who is that 2’ she demanded.
