Presently, Mre. _ Sherborne and Mr. Mershon arrived.

There were several gentlemen near her, and one was talking :o her, and Mr. Mershon had to wait until she was free to greet him. His thin lips tightened, and he stood lookiag down with a halfâ€"nervous, halfâ€"aggressive air. Then he shook hauds wiih her, and his emall eyes ,lanced round the magâ€" nificent room and the brilliant crowd. There were several persons who knew Mr. Deane, and Decima found that she was not to pass unnoticed, ze she had hoped and expeeted; for her appearance had impressed others besides Lady Roâ€" borough; and the men were asking Mr. Deane to introduce them, and the fadies were glancing at her euriously. Gaunt looked ntrai{hl before him; the touch of the liitle gloved hand was eiill throbbing through him. ‘‘They are very quiet people and go noâ€" where," he said, casually; too casually, for the sharp old lady glanced at him keenly. But Gaunt‘s face was as impasâ€" sive as usual and told nothing. _ _ Decima muttered something inaudible, aud Auumg ou, was swallowed up in the crowd. Lady Roborough looked after her.

At Decima‘s entrance, Gaunt‘s beart li;;ped, but his face grew paler, if anyâ€" thing. "It wae good of you to come," he in a low voice, and his hand closed here with a firm pressure. Lady Roborough stood just within the drawingâ€"room to receive the iuestn. and Lord Gaunt stood at her elbow olding her bouquet. The party had created a great deal of excitement, and she realized how importâ€" ant a function it was when she saw the large crowd of villagers which had colâ€" lected at the gate to see the :ueâ€"u,s arâ€" rive, and the long line of handsome carâ€" riages coming and going along the aveuue. The great house was a blaze of light, and Mr. Deane shuffled hie feet and groaned, as their modest fly at last drew up to the steps, over which a striped awnâ€" ing had been @pread, and he caught a glimpse of the many footmen standing in waiting. _ "I certainly do look rather Quakerish, as Bobby would say," she thought.

Decima went and looked at her dresees. She would have liked a new frock for the occasion, but she thought of Bobby‘s letâ€" ter, and resolved to make one of the old ones do.
