I hate the very sound of her name â€" it seems to spell ‘fiend!’ I think her a false, cruel, selfish woman who throw away his love when she might have had it honestly, and then tried to rob me of it. I shall never forget what I sufl’ered through her; and she knew I suffered, and enjoyed my misery. I am sorry if you like her, Lady Pent- reath. 'I look on her as the curse of my life.” “Hush, childâ€"hush!” the Countess says hoarsely, wiping her brow, and Yolanda sees that the delicate cam- bric is wet when she removes it. “Youâ€"you are exaggerating, I hope. I thought Joyce Murray Was only a‘ little thoughtless. And of late she has seemed quite differentâ€"kind and considerate, and most prudent and maidenly in her language and conâ€" duct - quite diflerent. And I do not want to think it is all assumed for her own purposes. I could not think without great pain that my mother's sister's child would be a trajtress to me!" Her last words die away in a hoarse sob, and she covers her face. "Give me something to drink. please.

"Oh, don't say that! You are not so very ill, are you?" Yolande ex- claims, with e. terrified shamed feel- ing of being cruelly selfish and unob- servant of the sorrows and sufl'er- ings of those around her, and with a. horrible selfish gladness, which is thrilling her through, that what she loves and prizes â€" the centre of the universe to her â€"- is safe from death. has vitality and youth and strength, hers to have and to hold close‘ to her heart for many a. day. "Dear Lady Pentreath," she adds â€" and she is so sorry and ashamed and frightened and excited that she can- not keep from weeping â€" “you are "Lady Pentreath," é'olande asks, with startled questioning was. “why do you speak like that?" "Why?" Lady Pcntreath repeats. with a faint smile. “Because it is true, and time is‘ nearly over for me, Yolanda, and eternity very near. I believe." “You may," Lady Pentreath says gmwly. “And when one comes to the end. Yolande, as I have, it does- n’t seem much to look back on, after all. Time and its wow and joys seem trifing things beside eternity." Yolanda shudders at the dreary summary. “1 hope I shall not live to suffer all that.” she remarks. "Oh. no!" Lady Pentreath says gravely. "You must live with a man. and bear With him. and endure him. and suffer through him, and weep bitter tears on account of him, and spend sleepless nights. and be patient under neglect, and smile whe patient under neglect. and smile when your heart is sore with jeal- ousy, and forgive him selfishness and cruelty. and live in friendship with him through all and everything. and bring children into the world only to see them die and leave you alone to look at their graves before you know that your heart is crushed out of all capacity for joy or tenderness.” "I think mine Was crushed before I started at all!"

She inclines her head slightly - the Countess has already moved onâ€" and they both sweep out to their carriage again. leaving Mr. Davison gazinghnfter them and gnawing his moustache recklessly, to the great detriment of the shining brown cos- metique with which it is dyed and glossed.

"We can do no more now Isabelle.” ”No," agrees Isabelle, watching ”Captain Glynne left no addrea. madam," Mr. Davison answers sour- ly, seeing that neither his bows nor smiles nor his personal appearance produce any efiect on these (rigid members of the British u-istocrxtcy. “He will call for letters doubtless either to-day or toâ€"morrow; and. if you or Lady Pentreath have a letter or message, it shall be de- livered to him instantly."

Mr. Duvison thinks uneasily. "Well. I guess I can talk to my female swell of them 0.1!." "Where has Captain Glynne gone?" interrupts the younger and haught- ier and more elegant. lady very im- periously. “I regret very much to have to tell your ladyship that I do not know when to expect Mr. Glynne back," he says reluctantly, wishing heartily that he could concoct any likely falsehood which would detain the Countess of Pentreath in friend- ly conversation with him for a. while longer. "The moment he comes back I will of course give him your ladyship'a card; and any message your ladyship may intrust me with shallâ€"" Mr. Davison reads. "The Countess of Pentreath," and bows until he shows the top of his head and its thick moist-looking black hair. "When do you expect him back?" Lady Pentreath asks curtly. She is feeling very ill to-day, and, besides, being a. gentlewoman, every instinct makes Mr. Davison repellent to her. “My card case, Isabelle! Will you please give him that the moment he returns, and say I am waiting to lee him? "Mr. Dallas, madam?” he says. dividing his bow equally between Lady Pentrenth and mademoiselle; but, shrewdly guessing that the plainerâ€"looking lady is the grander of the two, he bows again to her. "Or Mr. Glynne, I belieVe I should say? I regret to say, madam, Mr. Glynne is not. in the hotel at present.” ”Dash the fellow! Half the Brit- ish peerage will come inquiring for him!" he says, inwardly savage with petty spite, outward showing his teeth through his big black. glossy moustache, and smiling. A tall, vulgar. showy handsome man, exceedingly well dressed. and with fine small diamonds flashing on his white fat fingers, comes forward bowing and smiling. Through the glass panels of the door he sees the carriage and bays, and see- an 8311': Coronet. shining in the sun. "Mr. Dallas, madam?" the hall- porter repeats, bowing, but looking confounded; and, stepping back to- wards the office, he says in an under- tone, ”.Mr Davison!" Early on the following afternoon Lady Pentreath’s carriage draws up before the Baltimore Hotel, and the boyâ€"in-buttons runs out, and the commissionajre opens the door. and the hall-porter stands at ”attention" as two ladies descend and enter the hotel â€" two tall stately ladies. the younger the richer dressed and {at more elegant of the tWO -- and in- quire for “.Mr Dallas." "This way!" she and crying together. you?" And Yolanda clasps both her soft. hands around poor Lady Pent- reath’s thin skeleton-like figure and kisses her warmly. “I do not know,” the Countess on- nwers in the same patient mild tone she has used before. "But I will say KOOd-byc to you both toâ€"morrow evening. in case I do not see. you again, Yolanda," With motherly gen- tleness she puts her arm around the girl-wife's slim lissom form.

And on the cabinet she puts two velvet- covered easel-frames holding two large handsome photographsâ€"one of Dallas, and one of herself. They have never been taken together. and this one of Dallas taken in uniform, in its crimson plush frame, has been her most precious earthly possession next to her wedding-ring. Her own oicture she tam away twice and replaces twice. but at last, with many misgivings. decides to leave it. As she stands at the door {x r a final glance at the dainty apart- ment all delicate pink chintz and white lace. embroidered linonsnuwy fur rugs. and crimson carpeting. she tells herself that Dallas can not help being pleased with his room. It looks charming, and it is sun: to be much nicer than any room Dallas has oe- cupied lately. chn at the Baltimore Hotel. She has use his room prepared for him. and has stolen in herself after the homeland has gone. to put fresh roads in the dellcate pink speci- men-glasses that stand here and there. to an the massive cutâ€"glass toilet-bottles with perfume, and to place some of his favorite poets' and novelists' works on the writing table and cabinet-shelves. She ar- ranges and re-arrangw the draperies everywhere. so that the golden af- ternoon sunshine shall only gleam and sparkle softly on the furniture and ornaments, and changes the doiâ€" lies and antimacassars for a set worked by her own hands in daint- iest silk crewel embroideries.
