I am like (me chained to a rock; I long to get away, yet I know my duty lies there.” "And tixe boy who is to inherit Lancetwood, what is he like 2" asked Lord St. Just. “ How old is he 1” “ He is nearly sixâ€"very clever, but wanting in truth and honesty.

" Before my father died all my love and all my thoughts were given to him and to Lance-wood. Since he died I have done nothing but grieve over it.” helped; my only hape lies in patient endurance.” he said, with a flush on his face. “No,” she replied, gravely; “I nev- er shallâ€"I could not; because I could never leave Lancewoodâ€"and I have never thought of marrying.” “I see. You have had no time for thoughts of aught else '2” There was not the least conscious- ness in her face as she answered. “No, I have had neither time nor inclination. See, Lord St. Just,â€"-the shadow of the trees is falling over uSâ€"the sun is settingâ€"we must 9:0.” He walked by her side through the park. 'l'hey trampled the wild flow- ers under their feet; they stopped to listen to the low song of the birds; they talked of the setting sun and the distant hills, of the wheat-sheaves and the bloom in the hedges; they ad- ; mired the same views; they often gave [impression to the same thoughts; yet, ,while Adrian St. Just vowed to him- ;self that he would win the beautiful, iimperial, dark-eyed woman for his gwife, Vivien never dreamed that she {was in love. Lord St. Just made no secret of his devotion; he became Vivien's sha- dow; every one perceived it long be- fore she herself knew. what it meant. She had promised to remain for three weeks at the Park, and she fancied that the new, vague, delicious happi- ness was the result of peace. She had been Go unselfish all her life; she had thought so much of Lancewood, of her father, of her an- cestors, that she had never given her mind to girlish dreams of romance and sentiment. Another girl would have known what this new feeling meant she did not. She thought Adrian St. Just very kind, very clever; she was thankful to have so true a friend; she knew that, she liked to be near him, to listen to his voice, to watch Lv I‘M-vâ€" his face; but she did not know that she loved him. . V'vien was now in the sweetest phase of her love-story. Life was all differentâ€"the world was a thousand times more fair. She wondered why the sunshine seemed more golden, and the flowers of. brighter hue. What caused the new and beautiful light that had fallen on everything? \Vhat was the music always rising from her heart to her lips? \‘l’by did the world seem full of strange, sweet melody? She grew more beautiful: the proud ex- pression of her face had given way to one of tenderness, the light in her eyes was softened and gweet, the beautiful lips curved more gracious- 1y. 7 Was this the same dreary world that so lately had seemed to her all sorrow, all darkness? Not that her sorrow had grown less, but that this beautiful light seemed to have ab- sorbed it. The Neslies did nothing by halves, When they loved at all they loved deeply, truly and well. ,Vivien had begun to love unconsciously, and, when she awoke to full and complete knowledge of the fact, it was too late for any change. It was three weeks of love, poetry and romance. There could be no more charming companion than Lord St, Just. He had traveledâ€"he had stuâ€" died, read and thought. He had re- solved quite early in life that, though fortune had favored him with plenty of money, with a fine estate. an an- cient title, he would not on that ac- count tritter his life away.

He cul- tivated his mind by reading the choic- est booksâ€"his intellect by travel and the society of clever menâ€"his taste for art by working hard at it. One thing he had neverdoneâ€"he had nev- er indulged in the idle flirtatious that so often lead to ruin and sorrow. He was heart whole, fancy free. He had a fervent admiration for the sex, but not for any one woman in particular. He had never made love, played at love, or imagined himself in love. The first time his heart or fancy was touched was when he met Vivien Nes- lie. He carried the memory of her beautiful, sorrowing face with him, and that memory was dearer to him than the living presence of. any oth- for him. He resolved to find her out as soon as he returned home. It would not; be difficult to discover the where- abouts of the heiress of Lancewood. True, he might find her marriedâ€"she might even be dead; but, if she were 1 living and wellâ€"if she were unmar-i ried and to be wonâ€"he would win her He remembered that it was with Lady Smeatou she had been staying. He did not haxe much difficulty in mak- ing the acquaintance of the kindly-I natured woman, and in securing an invitation to the Park. There he met Vivien again, and there he heard her sorrowful story. His love increas- ed with every moment that he spent 'in her presence, until the time came when he knew that life without her would be blank and dreary to him. He had some little hope but she was iso unlike other girls that he could lhardly judge whether she loved him ;or not. She was above all coquetry iand affectation. above all little acts ?of meanness. He saw that her face librightened for. him as it did for no gather, that her voice took another ltone, in addressing him, that her leyes had a deeper light when they l met his; but in her proud, noble sim- Eplicity there was something which " halfâ€"frightened him. She seemed too ilofty in her aspirations; the woman .who was so ready to lay down her life for the honor of her house could ' hardly care for love as other women did. It was a noble love that he had to offer herâ€"noble in its simplicity, its integrity and purity; it was the one love of his life-timeâ€"he was never to know another. Would she accept or reject it? He was a brave man, but .he trembled for the answer to that question. Day by day he said to him- fself that he must ask it, yet the bright f days passed on, their golden calm un- broken. He was so truly happy that 5 he dreaded to interrupt his happiness. :He was aroused from his dream by §hearing that Miss Neslie would re- ;turn to Lancewood in two days,â€"-â€"her ithree weeks’ visit had drawn to a tclose. He must wait no longerâ€"back ito that wretched home, if he could Iheip it, she should never go. Dinner was over at Smeaton Park; the visitors, availing themselves of the warm, balmy night, had gone on: on to the lawn instead of remaining in the drawing-room. Vivien was standing watching the light fade in the western sky, thinking of the dreary lot to which she was return- ing, when Lord St. Just went to her. From one look at his grave, hand- some face Vivien 'knew by instinct From one look at his grave, hand- some face Vivien 'knew by instinct what was coming. “Miss Neslie," he said, “I have some- thing that I wish to say to you. Will you come away from these people? Come through the rosery.” Without another word he took her hand and laid it on his arm. “1 want you,” he said, “away from all the world. Sit here amongst these roses, and let me tell you some- thing.” She sat down, and he knelt amongst the fallen crimson leaves at her feet, clasping her white hands in his. He looked up into the lovely face. “How am 1 to speak to you 8” he said. “Kneeling here at your feet, you seem as far above me as the darken- ing skies. How am 1 to tell you that She did not rise in wonder, not turn angrily away. She sat perfectly, pas- sively silent. He went (in: 1 love you with all my h pray you to be my wife ‘3” “It is the whole love of my life I have to offer you, Vivien. You will let me say ‘Vivien z’ Lt is the sweet- est of all sweet names. I have never given one thought to another. I loved you the moment I saw you lying on the grass, my darling, your face white with despair. I loved you through all the months I spent in travel. I love you now more dearly than words of mine can tell. My queen, will you ac- cept my love and give me your: in return 2” She made no answerâ€"there was no movement in the silent tigureâ€" he could not read the expression of her “1 have longed to make you happy. I have longed to brighten your life. Oh, my darling. give me the power! Let my love brighten the dark clouds that hang over you. You shall know heart and so no more trouble, no more sorrow. it you will love me.” .She raised her face to his. and he saw that the dark proud eyea were filled with tears. “My darling,” he cried hastily. “let my love bring you happiness, not aor- row! I see tears in your eyes. I want to save you from sorrow, not to bring it to you. Tell me, will you try to love me 8” make me so happy 1” She held up her hand. “Nay, listen. I love you,” she said softlyâ€""I love you with all my heart; 'but I can never marry you.” He looked up in utter wonder. “Why not 2” he asked. _ “Because I cannot leave Lance- iwood. Nay, do not try to persuade lme. I know all that you would say, all that you would advise. I know that most girls would seek refuge from such‘ a home as mine in mar- riage, setting aside love. I cannot marry, because my father left the honor of his house in my hands, and if “I do love you,” she replied. "I did not understand at first. I could not tell what strange change had come over my life. I thought it was due to my removal from scenes of strife and dissipation to a home of peace. Now I know that it in because I love you.” The lignt'from the western sky '11- lumined the pale noble face. Adrian St. J ust looked at it in wonder; it was like the pictured face of a saint, but there was in it none of the radiance or brightness of happy love. “I shall always cherish your love,” she said gently; “it will live in my heart foreverâ€"it will never die.” "My darling,” he returned, "you "But you can do so little, my darl; ingâ€"and you suffer so much. If you could .do anything, I would not seek to prevent it; but you are quite help- lessfi’ I leave Lancewood I fear all honor will leave it too.” “I know it all,” she sighed. “It is as you say, a. hopeless struggle with‘ evil. Still, I must endure it. Do you think, Lord St. Just.â€"-â€"” He interrupted her. “You have said that you love me, my darling ;. do not call me “Lord St. Just’ again. Call me ‘Adrian.’ ” She was too earnest, too dignified, for the petty .affections of coyness with which some girls would have re- ceived these words. She listened to them in all simplicity. “Do you think, Adrian,” she said, wistfully, “that if I yielded to my love and to you, that if I married and left the scene of so much unhappi- ness, do you think that I should ever be happy 9” “I hope, I believe so,” he replied. “No; never. I am not happy now, but I have the consciousness that I am doing my duty. If I went away from Lancewood, I should feel that my duty was neglected and my fath- er’s command disobeyed. He left his honor in my charge. I must guard it ,, Lord St. Just began to find that she was mdst terribly in earnest. He despaired at the thought. ”Vivien, you cannot mean that you intend to sacrifice your whole life to the chimera of dutyâ€"this morbid. feel- ing that you are needful for the hon- or of your house?
