"You remember what Mrs. Lynne tells you sometimes about your head." He returned, but this time he took care to make noise enough over his enâ€" trance. When he stood again in the room, Inez was leaning over the fire, her face turned from him. He had returned for his watch which he had left upon the table, and he thought she had quitted the boudoit. SIow?y and gently he withdrew, and elosed the door. He knew enough of her to understand that she would rather have died than he should have seen her.

Bertico Bohun was there, but he said no more of ' love to her. The bright sun did not | seem further from him than this beautiâ€" ful ‘!lrl. She was undoubtedly the belle of the ball; and those who saw her that evening never forgot her. _ When the guests had all departed, he went with Mrs. Lynue into her boudoir. It was a charming little room, but one that was seldom used. (On this evening Mrs. Lynne had ordered fire and lights there; she liked, when a ball or party _ was ended, to talk it over with her son. The grand ball at Lyndewolde was a great success. Inez was the belle. She had never looked more lovely. She wore a dress of roseâ€"colored silk, shaded and softened by costly, cloudâ€"like lace. She wore no jewels; a wreath of white starâ€" ry jassmine crowned her queenly head. She sang to him, rode with bim, and poured out the treasure of her genius at his feet. She grew to love him. Oh Heaven! _ save us from such loveâ€"so wild, so idolatrous, so blind! Lord Lynne showed that he rememberâ€" ed her words. During all the Christmas feativities he thought of her constantly. He was resolved that she should never feel lonely or neglected again. So they resumed their old familiar intercourse. "I will not lose heart," she said, "not even yet. I will succeed, or I will die." He was pleased to see her again. He met her frankly, and kindly thanked her for her charming leters, which had cheerâ€" ed and amused his solitude.

When he did so, his first thought was one of wonder at his delay, for there next to his mother sat a fair and radiant girl whom any man would have been proud to claim.

In such thoughts and dreams Inez forâ€" got less pleasant things. She never for one moment feared nfi:tect.irm. Agatha would not return yet; and even when she did so, both she and Lord Lynne were far too honorable, she knew, to make any reference to their past atâ€" tachment new that she was his betrothâ€" ed wife.

"Do you love me?" she whispered. Could he help it, that loveâ€"lit face | turned up to his, those wondrous eyes ! looking into his own, her hair touching "At lastâ€"at last," murmured Inez, as she reached the quiet sanctuary of her own room. "I have won him, and I will only live to make him hapfiy. He shall never repent the words he said this night. I will make him happier and greatet than my cold, quiet sister could have done." "But you will say one word, Inez," he interrupted; "say you love me." _ . "I love you," she replied; and the music of the words never quite died in his neart. "Toâ€"morrow," she said, "wait until to morrow; we will talk about it then." . He never forgot how for the next few minutes she stood as one rapt in a siâ€" lent ecstacy, then she turned away from him. "My thoughts tempt me," he said.

So it was arranged that the twentioth of May should be the wedding day of Lord Lynne. It was now April. The time was short enough; for Mrs. Lynune was anxious to attend to the trousseau of her daughterâ€"inâ€"lawâ€"elect which was to be of unrivalled magnificence. Lord Lynne was constantly engaged; settleâ€" ments and deeds of all kinds had to be rropued, and he had arranged a charmâ€" ng surprise for Inez.

"We shall soon have May here; indeed, it is spring now. I saw eroâ€" euses and violets this morning. You must ask Inez if she has any objections to being martried in May." "That I will," she replied, warmly. "You know, Philip, 1 have always stood a little in awe of her; she is so beautiâ€" ful and stately; so reserved, and unlike our English girls.

"I will never pretend to any judgment again," "That was a mistake, mother,‘;’ he replied, lightly; "Agatha has always thought of me as a dear cousin and a true friend, but nothing more." * "Inez!" she cried, at last; “wh{, Philâ€" ip, how can that be?

"Mush, mother," he cried ; "do not speak so. I brought you here this mornâ€" ing to tell you that Inez has promised to be my wife." "1 cannot understand your indifferâ€" ence," said Mrs, Lynne. "I used to think you loved Agatha . Now with Inez the case is differentâ€"she is very beautiful; but there is something so inscrutable in her, I can never fancy one loving her." Mrs. Lynne waited for a reply, but none came; her son was thinking that, at any price, he would keep his cousin‘s secret. Lord Lynne attempted to speak, but the words died away upon his lips, "I would never advise you to marry for money," continued his mother; "and I think your uncle‘s will both cruel and unjust; still, Agatha is so sweet and genâ€" tle; out of all the world, she is the girl I should have wished most to see your wife‘ _ _"I thought you wanted to talk," said his mother, with some amusement.
