She loved her horse too well to run a needle into his sleek side at. the slightest provoca- lion. Captain Carmichael ordorod the horses to he at the door in half an hour. and then he took Lord Mallow off to look at the stables while Violet went, upstairs to put on her habit. Why was the cap- tain so unusually amiable? she specu- lated. Was his little soul so mean that he put on better manners to do honor to an Irish peer‘l’_ Vawdrey. Yet to refuse would have been impossible without absolute discourtesy to her mother’s husband and her mo- ther’s guest. So she sat in her place and said nothing, and Lord Mallow mis- took the angry carnation for the warm red of happy girlhood. which blushes it knows not wherefore. “I shall be quite too defighted if Miss Tempest will honor us with her cnm~ pany.” ”plied the Erishman. “11th a pieasant Look at. \‘LKc-n’s fresh morning face. rosy-red with vexalion“ It was the first. time her step-father had ever asked her to ride with him. and she hated doing it.

Lord Mallow‘s presence at the Abbey House had a marked effect upon Cap- lain Carmichael‘s treatment of his step- daughter.
