'This time all was going beautifully. Lillian had been seen to smile several times when she had heard he was coming; she had ’even asked the exact day and hour. of his arrival with an earnest interest which an affectatiaon of indifâ€" ference had failed to conceal from Lady Jane's sharp eyes. That afleoâ€" tation of indiflerence was really the most hopeful sign. Besides, the fact that for a week he would be the only. man on the spot (except the coach- man. the groom, and the butler),4wa.s' bound to produce a good etl‘ect; FrOm which it will be seen that Lady Jane was a little unconventional : but, then. she had known Lord Banford since he was a promising child of 4. and did not trouble very much about his feelings. Besides, Lord Banford's manly qualities were such that he shone most when there were no other. men to compare with him, except, of course, the coachman, the groom‘ and the butler. - ‘ - . TA...‘ vâ€"v “I think I should wait till Lord Banford has been here for a. few days.17 ‘ 'Perhaps. " Lord Banford was one of thefdesir- able people whom it was Lady J ane’s duty to ask down to meet her nieces when sufficiently tamed. He was coming that afternoon. The difl't- culty. always was to import them at now : “Ywmmd' I defy Lilian to run aWay with side whiskers and a. blue chin. She Is a. girl of taste. He 83085, and I have at to let her out of Sight. She grumbled at first, a. little; but I am accustomed to having myway.” “Quite. right, my 1193:," said Mrs. Barre. "The othqlf thing WOW-have “Yes, I think e0." She rose and looked out upon the distant hillsflde on which Lillian was accustomed to take her daily ride : but nobody wns to be seen there yetâ€"the girl' hadn’t had time to get there, of course. She turned away from the window. “I think it is almost time to write and say the cure is complete." sun ' -,,_‘ “You seem to have been very suc- cessful with Lillian; she is quite cheerful now." “Well, do you know. I was warned that her case was a particularly bad one. They told me she was shock- irgly obstinate. I knew that before however. They said I would have to watch her wherever she went; that it was quite in her to climb down from her window at night and get married before breakfast. Poor, dear Mary was in despair about the v “ole thing.’ 1"Who was the man ?" “Some foolish, young, impossible relative of ‘ Lord Olton’s who had been sent down for steeplechasing in the gardens of his college or some- 3thing of that kind, and gone OH to look after cattle in Mexico. and been disowned by his father. and had tak- en to journalism and other disreput- able pursuits. ‘An entirely hopeless person altogether.

Tears all night. red eyes at breakfast; then‘ letter writing and more tears. I really felt quite sorry for the girl. But I had to do it for her own sake. I watched her carefully, and never allowed her to go out-riding without a groom. Oh. how I have suflered for that girl 1” Mrs. Barre was very sympathetic. “I wonder you do it. my dear.’ “Oh ! I feel it a duty; and. besides there is a certain amount of satisfac- tion in stopping these fdollsh marri- “Somebody or other out of ques- tion, don't you know ; and next morning down comes the girl, with a disgraceful temper“ and fixed determin- ation to spend all her time writing letters." “How very awkward for you I" "Yes. I am afraid I am not very popular. But then, jailers x-ever are; and I suppose I must resign myself to my fate. And, really, my brothers and sisters ought to be very grateful to me. I saved Evelyn, for instance, from running away with a. young doctor with iour hundred a year.‘ Really, these young people have no sense of proportionâ€"" “And what is the matter with Lil- lian “You can’t imagine what a. nui- sance it is 'to be the one unmarried sister of a large family.

Lady Jane watched his ob- vious depression with a perspicacious joy. The tea. and the conversation dragged on in a. desultory way. Lord Banford had a. habit of saying “Heeâ€" hee !” at frequent intervalsL which had won him a, reputation for vsit among those to whose objects he sub- scribed : but even Lady Jane had tq confess to herself that it grew a. litâ€" tle wearison'ic, and she began to Won- der what had happened to the girl. Never before had those solitary rides caused her to be late for tea, and to- day there was, of course, more rear son than ever for her being home early. “I supposeâ€" bee-bee !" said his lordship, “that the country is very beautiful about, here when seen from the back of a. home 7" But he felt. and rightly felt, that any man who, in estimating his vaâ€" lue laid stress on little points like these would be entirely wide of the mark ; and his experience of the kind of people prettygirls chose to marry convinced him that it is quite‘ un- necessary for any man, whatever his appearance, to despair. And when he considered further that during the whole of his twenty-six years he had never kissed any girl, with the ex- \ceptionoi his mother (who, perhaps. did not count); that he bore a title. owned half a county. and was re- nowned for the almost fatherly inter-v est which he tool: in the welfare of his tenants; that at the university he had led an ecclesiastical move ment in earnest revolt against Some Modern Tendencies; that his name headed the subscription lists of at least three other movements of a so-- cial and improving kind; that his style of oratory had been called im- pressive, and was always" exercised for the noblest ends : that, in short, ; he had from his youth upward, ties-1 pite a certain amount of unpopular- ity thereby earned, set before himself“ the standard of what a young British; peer ought to be, and was not con-‘ sciOus of having swerved in any re- spect from. his idealâ€"when be con- sidered all these things and found himself sitting in Lady J anejs draw- ing room, specially invited. alone, to meet Lady J ane's niece, who was certainly charming, and had, he be- lieved, some intelligence, he glowed with a warm, all pervading satisfac- tion and anticipation. And as Lady. J as contempth him, she thought.‘ ith a. shudder, oi the reckless, hard riding scamp of a cowboy whom Lil- ian would, but for her firm, guiding. hand, have preferred to this irreproâ€" achable paragon who sat, with his toes turned in, balancinga teacup on his knee, and turning furtively every time a iootstep wgs heard outside. 7 “Yes,” replied Lady Jane, divining at once the purpose of that remark. “Yes; one is rather apt to forget how time is flying When one is really enjoying it." - “Bee-bee !” said Lord Burford. "I am afraid my niece must have gone rather further than she intendâ€" edâ€"she certainly knew what time you were coming. ” . “Ah 2” said Lord Banford, much encouraged. _ - “Long rides?‘ Yes," he replied ; ”butâ€"heeâ€"hee !-â€"one doesn't care to be altogether lonely, does ohe ?" He would never have dared to say such a. thing to Kiss Braiston her- self; in her absence he was com- pamtively bold.

She was right. Lord Baniord was. in- deed, extremely intereeted in Lillian's movements, and he felt that the ‘course of his life had turned him out an article worthy of the highest re- ward. It is true that he was always a little discouraged when he first looked in the glass in the morning‘i his hair was undoubtedly a little too sandy, and, it he had had his choice, he would have asked for a little more chin. But even that did not look so bad from in front as it did from the sideâ€"which, in his hopeful momenta, he took to be some consolation. He was never quite sure whether the mustache was or was not an im- provement; it undoubtedly strayed inanuncertainmanner,andwastoo undecided in color to be impressive. and he was, at times, half inclined to have it off. He deplored the neces- sity for wearing spectacles ; bu”, see-o ing that they must be, he thought they might as well be golden. And aggressively golden they were. notorious.

Mrs. Barre took her hand, which brought back her power of speech. “Go out, iellow!" he began; but Lilian, with an air of sweet pathos and reproof checked him. “Lord Baniord! My husband!" He turned in despair to Lady Jane, but she was beyond giving any help, andwas staring in astonishment at William, who, having drank one cup 0! tea, carefully and deliberately re movai, first one whisker and then the other, then the greasy wig and finally rubbed off the health\' glow upon his nose and the unhealthy blue- ness from his chin.
