"Qh, signorita,"? she whispered, es Floris, full of tenderness to all and everything in her new-born happiness, stooped and kissed her. 'Ts that signor your lover? Yes! Ah, but he is handsome and noble, is he not?' It was a magic journey, that re- turn to Florence, and though the two said but little their hands locked together, and their eyes which met each other's ever and again, spoke volumes. Mrs, Sinclair expressed no as- tonishment whatever at their re- turn. "T thought you would come back," she said dryly; "and now I suppose I may finish my great book myself, Miss Wood, I mean Miss Carlisle !" "Oh, no!' said Floris, flushing; ""F shall stay with you, madam."' But Mrs. Sinclair caught Lord Norman's oye, and met his smile with a significant one of her own. That evening he sent a telegram tu Lady Betty. It was very short, but it was very emphatic enough, for in three days Lady Betty was at the Violet Villa. Floris' astonishment at her ap- pearanco was only equaled by her delight. "Now, I don't want to know anything more than Bruce has told me, my dear," she said, after she had a good cry and nearly exhaust- ed herself by lavishing caresses on Floris. "In fact, ho has forbidden me, at the risk of his sore displea- sure, to talk about the past; but I've only one question to ask, and that is, 'Can you start for Eng- land to-morrow?' '? 'To-morrow !" said Floris aghast. "Yes, my dear; that is Bruce's wish." "But you, dear Lady Betty? "Oh, I am of no consequence," said her ladyship, with a laugh. "Besides, really and truly, I am dying of anxiety to get you home, to have you to myself for a few days--I shan't have you long, I know, for Bruce is most intemper- ately anxious to appropriate altogether. But do let us start to- morrow, if you can; I am sure no one will be gladder to see you than fir Edward. My dear, if I wasn't one of the most sensible women in England, I should have been most dreadfully jealous of you! Sir Ed- ward thinks there is no one in the world so clever and bright and good looking as 'Miss Carlisle,' and he has talked of you and regretted your absence every day. So let us go back to-morrow." They started in the morning. Ev- erything that wealth and influence could effect was dene to surround the journey with Inxury and ease. Tf Floris Carlisle had been a princess of the blood royal, as Lady Betty said, there could not have been more fuss; and yet there was so little real fuss. In his quiet way, Lord Norman secured slecping-cars, engaged the best rooms, had carriages in wait- ing, and arranged everything al- most as if by magic. And so it happened that Floris, who a few months back had left England alone and friendless, re- turned to it like a Queen of She- ba! Their welcome in Grosvenor place was characteristic of Sir Edward. 'How do you do, Miss Carlisle ?"' he said, holding her hand and look- ing at her in his grave way, but with a kindly light in his keen, ab- sorbed eyes. 'I am very glad to see you back, and I have missed you very much indeed. Bruce is a lucky fellow indeed," and he took and wrung Lord Norman's hand. After dinner Sir Edward sat ever his wine with Lord Norman for a little while, then he rose. "Going to the house, I suppose?' said Lord Norman. "No, not to-night, I think,"' answered Sir Edward. "Not to-night! Why, I thought you had to speak !" "Yes, so I had; but I don't think 1 will go to-night--that is, if I shan't be in the way. If don't know what the papers will say; no dcubt they'll imagine Pve had a domestic bereavement."? Ii was a great compliment to Floris, and one she was fond of talking about in after life, when Sir 7 with its usual readiness, invented a hundred and oné stories, of all of which Floris was the heroine. you} Conseqnently there was the greatest anxiety to see her, and Lady Betty was besieged with in- vitations, all pressing in the ex- treme. "YT think we had better go to the duchess' ball, and get it over, my dear,'"' said Lady Betty. "'Of course you'll be mobbed and_ stared at, people are simply dying of curio- sity to know the true story of your adventures; but you won't mind." "No, I shan't mind," said Floris, with her old naivete; "not in the least, seeing that I don't mean to teli any one." "Very well," said Lady Beity; "then we'll go to-morrow night and gratify the world with a sight of the future Countess of Norman, whose adventures--' "More or less fabulous,"' put in Floris--"have filled the society papers."' It was a grand ball, and more crowded than it would have been if the duchess had not carefully cir- culated the news that Miss Carlisle and Lord Norman were actually coming. For the first few minutes Floris was a little shy under the battery which was directed at her by so many curious eyes, but she grasped her lover's arm, just to reassure herself of his presence, and glanced up at his handsome face with its old patrician impassiveness, and courage came back to her. Before they had been in the room an hour the Lynches came in, and Floris needed no courage to meet these true friends. Sir Joseph and his good-natured wife were overwhelmed with plea- sure at secing her, and scarcely left her side the whole evening. A little after midnight Lord Nor- raan went to the refreshment room of champagne, when he saw a gen- tleman entering at a door opposite him. He set the glass down and strode across the room, with a glad '"Ber- | tie !" on his lips. to get a drink, and had got his glass | now. I shall be able to dance at your wedding, Bruee," he said, with a faint flush. "Wait a mo- m nt, will you?" he added, as Lord Norman was for taking him to Floris. 'This Oscar Raymond; you 'remember the man, of course! See here, Bruce, I don't want to startle you, but I have news of him."' 'News of Oscar Raymond!" re- peated Lord Norman, as if the name were difficult for him to pronounce calmly. Bertie nodded gravely.

"Did you see it--the case." res "Jt was a Russian leather case with the Christ church arms on the back.'? "Yes"? assentéd Bertie. know it?' "Tt was one I gave him when we were at college together," said Lord Norman, gravely. "You saw him ?"' "Yes for a moment. Now I know of this strange story, I re- member enough of the face to trace a likeness, but this man's hair was jron-gray--almost entirely gray, I am. sure." "Tt is the same man. Heavens! Dead so soon!" "Yes, and died by his own hand. We found a bottle of chloral by the bedside ; there was no doubt in the doctor's mind. We did all we could and I stayed and saw him buried. What did you say, Bruce?' ~ for Lord Norman had murmured some- thing. "Vengeance is mine!" he said aloud and solemnly. "Don't tell me any more, Bertie; and--and-- not a word to Floris. Come to her now." But Bertie held back for a mo- ment longer. "{ think I'll call in the morning, Bruce,"? he said, in a low voice, but at that moment her voice was heard behind them, and the next lshe had caught sight of him. Tn an instant she broke from the arm of Sir Joseph, who aceompani- ed her, and came toward Bertie, with outstretched hands and glow- "Vou Great ! HOME. § Cok nates NORIO IOKS PARTY DAINTIES.

"'I have no desire te hold any conver- sation with you, Lord Norman." Lord Norman bit his lips. 'What does this mean, Bertie?' he said, gravely. "Ah, I see!' Bertie flushed. "My memory appears to be a better one than yours, Lord Nor- |man," he said; "'at any rate, it is who has acted as you have done to an innocent and trusting lady, has lost the right to accost me or any honest man." "Stop--for Heaven's sake! Come with me,' said Lord Norman, quickly, and teizing his arm, he drew him into a retired spot. "Ber- tie, have you not heard--have you seen none of the papers?' "T have just-returned to Eng- land," said Bertie, "and have seen oo papers, nor heard any scandal whatsoever; that which I refer to--your conduct--happened before I left, Lord Norman.

General society is less familiar with the personality of the Princoss Victoria than with that of any other member of the royal family. The lighter side of court-life, its gaye- ties, pleasures and amusements have never appealed to the Prin- cess, who if she had consulted her own inclinations would not have taken a very active part in. the so- cial activities of the court. "Duty demanded her presences at court, however,"' says a writer in the Gentlewoman, "and she did cheerfully all that her high position demanded of her. During her girl- hood she continued as far as pos- sible to stay at Sandringham when the King and Queen, then Prince and Princess of Wales, were at Marlborough House. "A rather amusing story is re- lated of how the Princess once avoided a juvenile entertainment at Marlborough House, at which she with the Princess Royal and the Queen of Norway were to act as hostesses. When Innch was over the Princess disappeared.

The letter explained that she had gone for the afternoon to the Duchess of Teck at White Lodge where she intended to stay watil ihe next day, the excuse for this abrupt departure being that she 'hated parties.'
