To Mrs. Cameron Helen Was a study: she seemed to care so little for what others might think of her, evincing no hesitation, no timidity, when told the second (lay after her arrival that Mrs. Banker was in the parlor, and had asked to see Miss Lennox. Mrs. Cameron did not sus- pert now under that calm. unmoved exterior, Helen was hiding a heart which heat painfully, as she Went. down to meet the mother of Mark Ray, going lirst to her own room to make some little change in her toilet, and wishing that h’er dress was more like the dress of those around her-â€" like Mrs. Cameron’s, or even Esther's and the fashionable nurse’s. ()ne glance she gave to the brown Silk, \l’ilford’s gift, but her good sense told her that the plain merino she wore was more suitable to the. sick room where she spent her time, and $0 with a fresh collar and cufis, and another brush of her hair, she went - to Mrs. lanker, forgetting herself in : her pleasure at finding in the strang- *. Vâ€"- er a lady so wholly congenial and familiar, whose mild, dark eyes rest- ed so kindly on her, and whose pleas- ant voice had something motherly in its tone, putting her at her ease, and making her appear at her very best. Mrs. Banker was pleased with Hel- en, and she felt a kind of pity for the young girl thrown so suddenly among Itrangers, without even her sister to assist her. "Have you been out at all?" she asked and upon Helen’s replying that she had not, she answered, "That is not right. Aceustomed to the fresh country air, you will sufler from too close confinement. Suppose you ride with me. My carriage is at the door, and I have a few hours’ leis- ure. Tell your sister I insist," she continued, 'as Helen hesitated between inclination and what her duty.

I meant. that. to-day, and spoke to him about it, but Mrs. Banker will do better. Tell her I thank her so‘ much for her thoughtfulness," and with a kiss Katy sent Helen away, while Mrs. after twisting her rings Cameron, nervously {or a moment, said to Katy: '-‘-- nvnii‘t‘ An “1‘.“ ter day, "he“ be! her .wherever she I mg her Broadway! ---..- {n grew red 1 came up mother s opposite. pale face, made it the face of .

She asked me where I wish to 80. and I mentioned these place. . '0 please attribute it wholly to my country breeding, and not to your mother’s lack of taste.” There was something in the frank speech which won Mrs. Banker’s heart, while she felt an increased re- SDect for the young girl. who, she m. was keenly sensitive, men with all her strength of character. “You were right to commence as you have,” she said, “for now 3'0“ have a still greater treat in store, and Mark shall.drive you to the Park some day. I know you will like that.” Helen could like anything with“ that friendly voice to reassure her. and leaning back she was thinking how pleasant it was to be in New York, hOW different from what she had expected, when a how from Mark made her look up in time to see. that they were meeting a carriage in whit'h Sat Wilford, with two gaily dressed ladies, both of Whom gave her a su- Dercilious stare as they passed by, While the younger of the two half turned her head, as if for u more pro- longed gaze. "Mrs. ()randon and Juno Camerâ€" on.” Mrs. Bunker said, making some further remark to her son, while Hel- en felt that the brightness? of the day had changed, for, she could not be. unconscious of the look with which she had been regarded by these two fashionable ladies, and again her flllS came up before her, bringing a feel- ing of which she was ashamed, es- pecially as she had fancied herself above all weakness of the kind. That night, at the dinner. from which Mrs. Cameron was absent, Wilâ€" fOrd was unusually gracious, asking “if she had enjoyed her ride, and if she did not. find Mrs. Banker a very pleasant acquaintance. ” Wilford felt a little uncomfortable at having SUfic-l‘cd a stranger to do for Katy’s sister what should have been done by himself. Katy had asked him to drive with Ilelen, but he had found it very convenient to forget it, and take a seat instead with Juno and 'Mrs. (lrandon. the latter of whom complimented "Miss Lennox’s fine intellectual face." af- ter they had passed, and compli- mented it the more as she. saw how it vexed Juno, who could see no- thing ”in those hold eyes and that masculine forehead,” just because their visâ€"a-Vis chanced to he ’Mark Ray. Juno was not pleased with Helen's first appearance in the stleet. but nevertheless she called upon her next day, with Sybil (:ramlon and her sister Bell. To this she was ire;â€" od by Sybil, who, having a some- What larger experience of human naâ€" ture, foresaw that llelen Would be popular just because Mrs. Banker had taken her up, and who, besides, had conceived a capricious fancy to pat- ronize Miss Lennox. Bill. in this she was foiled, for Ilelen was not to he patronized, and she received her \‘is- itors with that. calm, assured man- ner so much a part of herself. "Diamond cut diamond,” Bell thought. as she saw how frigidly po- lite both Juno and Helen were. each recognizing in the other something antagonistic, which could not har- monize. ‘ A _ “u lll\1111u\ . IIad Juno never cared for Dr. Grant}, or suspected Helen of stand- ing between herself and him, and had Mark Ray never stopped at Silver- ton, or been seen on Broadway with her, she might have judged her dif- ferently, for there was something at- tractive in Helen's face and appear- ance as she sat talking to her guests, with as much quiet dignity as if she had never mended Uncle Ephraim’s socks or made a pound of butter among the hucklelierry hills. Bell was delighted, detecting at once traces of the rare mind which Helen Lennox possessed, and wondering to find it so. “ Al‘ll‘. A‘kn' “I-lvlope we shall sec often," she said, at, pal not go out a great, deal is not, so much as Junc my den. You may nno SUIUULluufi I, there to interest you. This was Bell’s Nave-taking, while Sybil's was, if possible, more friend- ly, for she took a perverse kind of pleasure in annoying Juno. who won- dered “what she or Dell could see in that awkward country gitl, who she knew had on one of Katy’s castâ€"off collars, and whose wardrobe was the most ordinary she ever saw; litch furs, think of that!" and Juno gave a little pull at, the fastenings of her rich ermine collar, showing so well over her velvet basquine. “Fitch furs or not, they rode with Mark Bay on Broadway," Bell re- torted. with a wicked look in her eye, which roused Juno to a still higher pitch of anger, so that by the time the carriage stopped at No. -â€"â€", the young lady was in a most» un- amiable frame of mind as regarded both Helen Lennox and the oflending Mark. ‘ “ ---- n+ fifrg “Then you tn” have called on' } his manner 9V1“ sure that Juno ‘+ down her wrath. him her scornful Sybil and Bell in an 1' "All and prnuy law. “Then you think her pretty?

Inox‘- ‘IIEIIU Q There was no mistaking the jeal- ousy which betrayed itself in every‘ tone of Juno’s voice as she stood be- 5 fore Mark, a. lit picture of the enrag- 1 ed goddess whose name she, bore. Soon recollecting herself, however, she changed her mode of attack, and said, laughingly: “Seriously, though, this Miss Len- nox seems a very nice girl, and is ad- mirably fitted, I think. for the posi- tion she is to fillâ€"that of a country physician’s wife,” and in the black eyes there was a wicked sparkle as Juno saw that her meaning was readily understood, ‘Mark looking quickly at her, and asking if she re- ferred to Dr. Grant. “Certainly; I imagine that was set- tled as long ago as we met him in Paris. Once I thought it might have been our Katy, but was mistaken. I think the doctor and Miss Lennox well adapted to each other." There was for a moment a dull, heavy. pain at Mark’s heart, caused by that little item of information which made him so uncomfortable. On the whole he did not doubt it. for everything he could recall of Mor- -vâ€" V vâ€"u . ris had a tendency to strengthen the belief. Nothing could be more prob- able, thrown together as they had been, without other congenial soci- ety, and nothing could be more suit- able ‘8”- “They are Well matched,” Mark thought, as he walked listlessly through Mrs. lieynolds's parlors. see- ing only one face, and that the fare of Helen Lennox, with the lily in her hair. just as it looked when she. tied the. apron about his neck and laughed at his appearance. Helen was not. the, ideal which in his boyhood Mark had cherished oi the one. who was to be his wife. for that was of a woman more like Juno, with whim he had always been on the best of terms, giving her some reason for believing; herself the fav- ored one; but ideals change as years go on. and 'Ilelen Lennox had more attractions for him now than the most. dashing belle olvhis acquaint- illlt't‘ .

"She is not at all what I used to imagine the future Mrs. Mark Ray to he. Ilalf my friends would say she had no style, no beauty. and perhaps she has not. Certainly she does not look just like the ladies at 'Mrs. lleynolds’s to- night, hut give her some adVantages and she would surpass them all.” And then 'Mark Ray went. ofi into a. reverie, in which he saw Helen Len- nox his wife, and with the aids by which he would surround her. rapid- ly developing into as splendid a wo- man as little Katy Cameron. who did not need to he developed. but took all hearts at once by that nat- ural. witching grace so much a part of herself. ilt was a very pleasant picture which Mark. painted upon the mental canvas; but there came. a great blur blotting out its brightness as he remembered Dr. Grant. “But it, shall not interfere with my being just as Kind to her as before. She will need some attendant here, and Wilford will be glad to shove her off his hands. He is so infernal proud.” Mark said, and taking a fresh cigar, he finished his reverie with the magnanimous resolve that were Helen a hundred times engaged she should he his especial care during her sojourn in New York. “ Uul‘l .JL 1' - “Yes, pleased with anything you choose to give her, lintâ€"excuse me, dear Mrs. Cameron. if I speak as openly as if 1 were the mother of you both.
