Something like remorse or pity smote the young girl as she noted the pale, worn, face of the young soldier. "I have just heard the news, Mr. Boâ€" han," she said, holding out her hand to him. "I am very sorry we are going to lose you." "You are very kind, Miss Lynne," he replied, with the least touch of bitterâ€" ness.

But when she reached the conservaâ€" tory, instead of the pale stern face sho expected to see, Philip stood before her smilhr and bright as he had been when he quitted ber, and in his hand he held a large jewelâ€"csse. In one moment, with her quick unetring istinct, she divined that she had been mistakenâ€"that she was still safe. | _ _When dinner was over they adjournâ€" |ed to the large drawingâ€"room.

Perhaps Inez never suifered greatâ€" |er suspense than in those lew moments. !Hor eyes seemed magically attracted to Agatha‘s face. If she should hint when ’she saw Philip qiuin, then he would question her, and the whole story must ecome to light; but Agatha eshowed no w No one noticed how unequal were the bride‘s spiritsâ€"one moment flushed and laughing, looking like the queen of mirth and reveiry; then pale and silent, with shadowed eves. "About six, I think,.

The magnificent bridal costume, orderâ€" ed expressly from Paris, _ bad arrived, perfece even to the last detail. The bridesmaids‘ costumes were all ready; the wedding cake, which was really . a work of art, had arrived, the wedding breakfast was laid out in the long dinâ€" ingâ€"room, and a more magnificent disâ€" play had never been seen in Lynnewolde. The four young ladies who were to join Agatha and Evelyn were staying at the Halll, and everyone seemed devoted to the queen of the festival, the belutifuli brideâ€"elect. #y , ball to be given in the evening. They | likewise informed the public that immeâ€" | diately after the ceremony the happy | pair would leave for Rossâ€"yâ€"Glynn, a | small estate in North Wales, belonging | to Lord Lynne. After the honeymoon | they were to proceed to London, where Lady Lynne was to be presented at the drawingâ€"room announced for the 24th _ of June. The morning of the nineteenth arrived bright and beautiful, no cloud in _ the sky; Nature seemed to have donned her fairest robes; the soft spring air bore the perfume of flowers and the music of bird«. C‘ler you my weddingâ€" 1 I have been obliged to i as to whether T should not. She thinks, perhans. said, over when was her did will Mrs. _ _ _____ De@utiful cousin, and her eyes were at once riveted on that lovaly southern face. "Properly managed," said the lady, to herself, "Lady Lynne will make a perfect furor."

Agatha will be here toâ€"morrow, and Lady Eversleigh will call. She will take you to Madame Nevers to choose your court costume. You must wear your diamonds; mind, Inez, we must do all honor to the Lynnes of Lynnewolde." On the day following Agatha arrived. Mre. Lynne had found an escort for her. At three, Lady Eversleigh called, and both sisters were charmed with her. She was not beautiful, not even pretty, but she posgessed that incomparable and irâ€" resistible gift of fascination given to so fewâ€"highâ€"bred and amiable, piquant and pleasant in conversation, with manners at once gentle and dignified, Lady Everâ€" sleigh had been for some few ears one of the leaders of ton. Her dzfight was unbounded at making the acquaintance of her beautiful cousin, and her eyes . were at once riveted on that lovaly ‘ southern face. } _ "Very," she r'epTied; and the beautiful face w pale and sad. “\%"must meake it up to you now," said her husband kindly. "You shall enâ€" jJoy yourself just as you like, and crowd as much pleasure into each day as you can. It will be doubly pleasant for you to have Agatha with you." Great was the delight of Lady Lynne when she saw the magnificent home preâ€" pared for her. She bad married entirel for love. If Philip Lynue had been penn{ less and obscure, she would have preferâ€" red him to all the world beside; but she loved splendor, and her heart rejoiced in the superb and luxurious apointments of her new home. _ It was evening when thc{ arrived, and dinner was served up to "izem in the stately dining room, "Was your life in Spain so very loneâ€" ly?" l&fl{ Philip gently. _ "That will be something new for she said. "I must not flatter you, Inez," replied Lord Lynne, smiling quietly, "but I proâ€" phesy you will be the belle of the seaâ€" son." _ "Perhaps English ladies may not like me," sni(r Inez, half timidly; "I am so very Spanish in appearance." "I think so," he replied. "It is not so gay, ferhaps, nor so beautiful, as Paris, but I would rather live there than in any other city in the world. Life alâ€" ways seems to me twice as full and comâ€" plete in London." "I long to see Lonsaon,‘ said Inez, to her husband, when they were seated in the railway carriage,. "I have seen nothâ€" ini of the world at present. I long to take my place in it as a soldier longs for battle. Shall I like London, Philip?" So the invitation was sent, urgently worded by Inez, with a postscript from Philip, begging his mother to accompany Agatha to London. But Mrs. Lynne, fatigued _ by the festivites _ attendâ€" ing the wedding, begged this seaâ€" son _ to _ be _ excused. _ Their couâ€" sin, Lady _ Eversleigh, would have great pleasure in presenting her beautiâ€" ful young relations at court. They had arranged to leave Rossâ€"yâ€" Glynn about the eightcenth of June. Lady Lynne was to be presented at the drawingâ€"room to be held on the twentyâ€" fourth. There was a long discussion beâ€" tween them on one point. Philip was anxious that Agatha _ should be preâ€" sented with her sister, and have the advantage of passing the remainder of the season in London. _ Inez did not know how to object to what seemed a sensible and kindly arrangement. There was not one single reason that she could bring forward against it; more, when she came to consider the matter, did she care. much about interfering. Both _ Lord Lynne and her sister were far too honorâ€" able, sho knew, to.â€"allude, however disâ€" tantly, to any attachment that might previously have existed between them; there was no fear; besides, she would' be always near. Lady Lynne had already gained wonâ€" derful influence _ over _ her â€" husband. Never was tact so great or so delicate as hers. She studied his character, she knew every weak and every strong point in is; she knew how to appeal to his high and noble feelings, to urge, to arouse, and counsel him. He thought her the greatest and cleverest of women, and often wondered in his simple humility how she ever came to car for him. His wife‘s plan was the surest and safest to follow. They must keep to their original intention of going to Lonâ€" don, and there they must win a foreâ€" most place among the great and noble. There was not much doubt of it, he thought; and again he gloried in the wondrous beauty he had won. He was proud of her, devoted to her; he appreâ€" elated her rare genius, but he did not love her as he would have loved Agatha, had she been his wife. It was rather the love that springs from admiration than from affection. "I should never have dreamed of beâ€" coming a politician but for you, Inez," he said to her one morning. "You have so completely fired my ambition that 1 shall never know rest again until I have obtained some, at least, of the fame you predict for me." Then, for the first time, Philip Lynne felt it was fortunate for him that his gentle cousin had rejected him; _ sho would not have urged him on such a career as the one which his beautiful, brilliant wife painted in such glowing colors. He remembered the time, in the annals of his family, when the Lynnes had been second to none in the kingdom. Why should he not restore even more than its ancient glory to the name? Let him but once get into Parliament, and then England should hear of the Lynnes again. Nor were those quiet weeks all given to loveâ€"making; Inez imparted to her husband some of those ambitious hopes and daring wishes she had formed for him. He listened, lost in wonder at the talents and beauty of the young iirl he had made his wife. At first her views and plans dazzled him; but after a time he took great delight in them, and then longed eagerly for their comâ€" pletion. It is something worth living for to be perfectly happy even for one day. Lady Lynne was even more fortunate; she was ‘perfectly and entirely happy during the "golden" months she passed with her husband at Rossâ€"yâ€"Glynn. She had said to herself that she would make him happy, and she did so. She studied his every wish and every thought; and yet, wouderful to relate, never wearied him, but left him always longing for her to speak again. The last face Lady Lynne saw as she drove away from home, the last smile that greeted her, were the face and smiles of the gentle sister she had beâ€" traved. A more beautiful bride or fairer bridesâ€" maids were never seen. Sorrow and sadness seemed far as death from that noble and brilliant throng. never forgotten by those who witnessed it.
