sh hai o real reason outwardly for re-

Montagu j Ljnsdaie was there and that
inert had feen some close correspondence
tpiy < betwcen K te Cottage and Chiiling
ton Pirk and this she knew could only
refer to designs against the peace of her-
self anI her riance
Tue invitation included Reginald and

since he had rcctheQ that un-
it from Montague Londale a
piece which Dick carried about
loaded in a way which had nearly been
ihe death of more than one of Her Majes
tys lieges
Sr Brisco sent the carriage for Mela
Lie and her uncle who appreciated this
ad oi attention greatly while old Dr
aud Mrs Brendon with their daughter
w re left to make their way as they might
to Rtvensbourne hall which was un-
doubtedly a place of beauty The trim

the rosaries the e derald lawn the old
fishpond saard d by a stone balustrade
wUh irracetul nwans and white water
lilies lljatiug on Its dark bosom the
stately peacocks with their resplendent
tails spread out in the sunshine on the
paved terrace the stone vases iull of
lovely fijwers and over ail on its knoll
the stately facade of the hall itself all
seemed to speak of v ealth rank and lux-
ury which left far far in the distance
the strawrcoled bunsialow of poor Mon
tagiieLjn5dale in a remote indiau can

ria ch thoughts naturally cccurredwhile
he glared at Melanie and then surveyed
acain tee mansion this is indeed one of
the ancestral hemes of England Here
you may learn what ancestral means I
feel ss an Ecglishraan that for such a
home as this one might struggle lUht
and die
But not sell ones self uncle inter-
rupted Mtlanie quietly and receiving
behind her fan a very dark look indeed
From mending gloves refashioning
dreesis i lotting and planning to make a
sovereign o the length of two the aspect
of all around her at Kavensbourne where
the carriage drew up at the stately per
ron and a powdered valet put down the
steps certainly was relief in one sense
but no temptation to Melanie Talbot
With the assistance ot a maid she had
since Chilling
tfon Park had seen her under hands of
Mademoiselle Clochette she and Amy
were laughingly putting some finishing
to their costumes in a dressingroom and
the former had prettily adjusted in her
dark braids and collarette of lace some
aimple almondscented blossoms and
maidtnhair ferns to her own extreme
satisfaction when there came a knock at
the door and another maid appeared with
a prettv little basket of palecream roses
with Sir Briscos compliments to Miss
Tabot
Pretty pointed that none for me
said Amy launing but these will suit
your dress admirably ahall I take out
the sprays
By no means said Melaine with un-
concealed annoyance I prefer the flow-

She had received them that morning
from Lonsdale
Poor Sir Brisco he will expect yon
to wear his roses
For that very reason as you very

dull interval tilled up by commonplaces
which precedes a dinner passed quickly
to the relief of Melaine and in due time
the gong was sounded its notes low
dismal and rumbling swelled upon the
air making the spacious rooms reecho
with a swell that became almost melo-
dious then it died away and as the but-
ler dropped the beater Sir Brisco gave his
arm to Mrs Brendon fall moire antique
with white lace while Melanie and Amy
were paired off with strangers who bear
no pla ce In our story and two and two
like the animals entering the ark the
guests filed into the dining room
Tne dinner was like any other in such
an establishment and thanks to the skill
of the chef and the care or Mrs Mopps
the housekeeper was all that could be
desired but while it proceeded through
all its routine of entrees and coursesMe
lanie was unpleasantly aware of how her
uncle watched her and Lonsdale though
they were seated apart and she could see
his bald head shining with his side tufts
stiffer than ever with the gleam of his
spectacles and the Mephistophelien smile
behind them a smile that boded only
greed and mischief
Sir Brisco did the honors of his table
well and looked even younger than his
years in evening costume the waiterlike
garb of civilizition and though his
moustache was white as snow ms eyes
were clear as steel bright and penetrat
irg and his teeth if natural white and
wellformed as those of a man of live
andtwenty
Though quiet and too gentlemanly in
manner to excite remark by his atten-
tions there was a subtle something in the
bearing of his host to Melanie which but
for the mans years might have excited
more alarm in the mind of Montague
Lonsdale yet there was sufficient to
pique and annoy him knowing as he did
the accessories of wealth and position
possessed by the baronetthough he could
little suspect that the latter had in the
proposal he had made the girl though
that proposal hadobeeu rejected a point
dollicier a basis for luiure operations
in fact the old Baronet continued to
absorb her time and attention whenever
hi could do so and his impatience to
join the ladies in the drawingrcom
when they all sailed thither was all but
obvious when the gentlemen were left-
over their wine and walnuts and se-
cretly he was excessively bored by the
Vicar who loved to linger over his glass
of port and talk politics being as keen
on the subjects of church and state as if
he had lived in the days of Squire West-
ern and like a bluff Tory of the old
school more than once asserted that he
could never sympathize with a working
mans candidate who had to take his
clothes out of his uncles care before he
could address the unwashed electors
Sir Brisco would rather have heard his
military guests even talking shop
Mnsgrave of horses and Lonsdale of mil-
itary life in Bengal
ilow proud you must be of such a
beautiful old residence as this Sir
Brisco said Mr Gnmshaw occupied
still by one idea as he looked up at the
parquettcd designs on the domeshaped
ceiling it must make you disdain most
other places
That would hi ignoble pride replied
Sir Brisco smiliDg and toyin2 with his
wine glass while thinking too probably
of Rase Cottage
But there is a certain proper pride
bora of and with a good name contin-
ued Mr Grimshaw bent on flattery
Yes the nnde that honestly rejoices
in an honoraUle race aud lineage and
that if properly and modestly maintained
is very different from the absurd pride of
the oarvenu
And Sir Brisco was right He could
though he never did so before afford to
talk thus His title was a creation by
King James eight years after the latter
succteded to the tnrone of England and
the first of the family ranked after Bicou
of Redgrave Primus Bar nettorum An
gl > out held his lands uiider a charter
of Henry VIII by the not unusual tenure
then of finding clean straw for His
Majestys bed when he the English
Bluebeard sojourned in that quarter
With all this Sir Brisco was a much
more humble and meek man than an ob-
noxious and intrusive neighbor who was
the terror of evildoers as a magistrate
and landholder a retired soap boiler of
Bow gwho whatever his past name
may have been now came forth as Plau
tagenetRugworth as snobs affect
hyphens greatly bought old portraits as
family ones stuck someones crest on his
carriage and boasted of his hancestors
who fought at Astings with William of
Horange
When the gentlemen rejoined the ladies
Melanie on whom were now the eyes of
her lover as well as her uncle found it
more difficult to avoid the baronet and
in attempting to do so could get no
aid from cither Amy or Mrs
Brendon who were somewhat occupied
with the intended of the former the
handsome hussar who was soon about
to leave them for his regiment and to
her motherly heart was of course an
object of deepest interest to the despair
of mere than one mild curate for whom
she would work no more slippers or
smokingcaps in the future
Aud Horace Musgrave was somewhat
the pattern man even of his crack
regiment All women the mess averred
fell in love with him the matrons for
their daughters sakes the daughters
because thty could not help it and he
was fl ed at last by little Amy 3
the belle of Stokencross Vicarage
What a joke it is thought Lonsdale
as he saw now that Amy absorbed in his
friend no longer amused her compan-
ions by her witty sallies and wid
speeches orattended to the compliments
and pretty nothings of her many ad-
mirers yet she made a charming pic-
ture just then with her sofi dreamy eyes
Used on Musgraves sunburnt face hers
so brilliant iu its coloring her thick
bronze hair shot with gold m the sun-
light her lips sweetand sensitivesoften

minute features

CHAlTKB XI PIQUE AND SUSPICION
On this July afternoon the tall French
windows of the drawingroom were open
and the curtains of fine laces were gently
stirred by the warm evening wind the
plash of the fountains in the rosegardens
below the terrace was heard and the last
song of a few birds made music m the
still sunny air
Ere long the last of the sunlight died
away the moonlight spread like a
silver veil over the landscape and the
jets shot up by the fountains showed
crystal while the stately tress beyond
the shrubberies threw weird but graceful
shadows on the sward
Melanie who had been almost com-
pelled to play now drew on her gloves in
haste and left the piano where both
Lonsdale and Sir Brisco hsd hung over
herTil1
Til1 then she had rigidly kept her hands
gloved but when see played the latter
had detected Lonsdales engagement ring
on
<
the
changed
nothing
mystic finger and almost
color though of course he said
while surmising had Mrs
and Mr Grimshaw deceived
him or was Melanie deceiving them all
She had seen the direction oi his gaze
and nervously advanced to a window
whither henaturally followed her
What a lovely moonlight scenelju he
exclaimed on looking out is it nsvoto
But then those who see the be thi1
always cease to appreciate It 3 ia4
I am not one of those said b
r
ly yet with a glance so full of point that
Melanie paed a little
With the tiny white flowers among her
rich dark hair a brown and featlu rv
fringe of which curled in sofc rings over
her brow her lovdy arms aud neck
gleaming white from amid some delicate
old lace Melanie seemed sweeter and
fairer than ever woman looked before in
the eyes of her young lover and his elderly
rival who was then thinking in fancy
how she would look with the Braybrooke
diamonds sparkling on her breast her
throat and brow the same magnificent
diamonds his great grandmother bad
worn at court when in the days of
Farmer George she had been a maid
of honor to Queen Charlotte who as
usual with her coveted the said gems
sorely
As he whispered to her there in the
twilight apart from the rest in that vast
apartment Sir Brisco hoped to win her
almost passionately for his years hoped
but not with the eagerness of youth or
with the dawn of love revealing that life
had something in store for him hitherto
unknown
She was beautiful poor and so far as
her uncle was concerned helpless jhe
knew and he never doubted that wttliv
time patience and perseverence his
wealth and position would win her for
him in the end a bride more beautiful
by far than R vensbourne had ever seen
before
Had Melanie Talbot been an heiress
his hopes had been less confident cer-
tainly but there were depths in her
nature to which Sir Brisco had no clew
More than oncetaking advantage of the
situation and while a young lady was af-
flicting all present with one of those rapid
songs in which all wcrds are undetecta-
ble and which are certainly a peculiarity
of the British drawingroom he en
deavored to recur to what had passed at
Mrs Chilliugtons lawntenni3 party but
of that Melanie was nervously conscious
and tried with all her skill but often
vainly to change the subject for with
the coolness born of years and experience
the baronet was pretty pointed
Still you avoid me or would seek to
Miss Talbot he continued
In what way Sir Brisco she asked
using ner fan quickly but unconsciously
Fate with you is strangely against
me
Please dont be melodramatic how
Every hour every moment I spend
in your society perhaps unwisely for my
own peace sees me falling deeper into
the gulf from which no hand but yours
can save me
How white alas in the moonlight his
mustache looked as he said thi3 iuto the
girls unwilling ear He did not speak
in a heartbroken accent certainly he
was too old too casehardened for
that out to Melanie it was terrible to
listen to this sort of thing She the
promised wife of another whose eyes
were actually then upon her but who
uniortunate fellow was then button-
holed by the Vicar on our Indian policy
and the treason that surrendered Cawn
pore after we had captured it
Melanie had in her heart an emotion of
dire provocation
1 have tried to forget you Sir Brisco
continued but I might as well try to
live without brains as without a heart
Melanle in her worry and annoyance
used her fan till it ruilled the curls of htr
fringe
Oh how easy it seemed to make love
in this fashion and fluently at sixty years
and more
Not thus boldly had Montague Lons
dale let the story of his love for her es-
cape him on an evening never to be for-
gotten in a time of supreme joy and tri
umph when they had hail mutely or
brokenly exchanged the secrets of their
hearts and each felt a thrill a passion
that had been without parallel for them
before or since
Melaine now felt that by her uncle
who had dragged her to Kavensbourne
Hall she was placed in a false and hu-
miliating position which compelled her
to listen to the baronets addresses when
her distinct refusal of his offers else-
where should have raised a barrier be
tween them and placed their intercourse
in society on a different basis
She did not raise her face to that of Sir
Brisco as she felt conscious that it wore
an expression of trouble and anger and
there he mistook the cause that made her
long dark lashes droop almost rest on
her pale cheeks
Will you think of what I have said be-
fore Will you think of what I have said
now continued Sir Brisco as if he had
been offering her some lucrative or eligi-
ble situation Probably not he added
detecting the expression of her face
You are wrong Sir Brisco I shall
think of you and think kindiy as long as
I live
Kindly and nothing more
Nothing more replied Melanie curt-
ly now
Whyoh why
Do Sir Brisco let this subjectcease 1
I will not take this as a final aiiswer
Nor did he
v hen Melanie left the Hall to return
home Montague Lonsdale felt piqued
and angry vaguely annoyed Under the
eyes of her uncle and those of their host
he found that Melanie was not more thaiv
calmly and studiously polite declining tefv
be cloaked or assisted by him She
thought that he would know the reason
why but he did not and btdV to fear
or attribute her apparent coldness of
manner to some change some new in-
fluence and he recalled unpleasantly the
subtle something he had detected in
the oring of the baronet at dinner
ke matters worse the latter pre-
sented her with a bouqutt of grand
Gloire de Dijon roses just as he handed
her into the carriage and see was con-
strained to accept them
How you must laugh at our poor
specimens of these at the co tjge said
she
Do not say so At the cottage there
is one rose I covet more than all the
rest replied Sir Brieeo in a low voice
but still Lonsdale heard him
Musgrave drove the Vicarage party
home In a trap and Lonsdale was left for
an hour or two in the smoking room
over brandy and soda and cigars with
their host who under the influence of
what he had imbibed at dinner and after
it waxed unwisely communicative and
rather gave the young officer a glimpse of
the carte du pays
Speaking of Melanie with a knowing
air he quoted Cymbeliue as to her man-
ner Oh dissembling courtesy How fine
this tyrant can tickle vhere she
wounds
Then he actually expatiated on her
beauty and goodness her deotion to her
helpless brother and so forth to Lonsdale
who sucked his Havana and listened in
half amused aud naif sulky silence
I never till I met her said S r
Brisco had much inclination or th
holy state as it is called but better late
than never if Barkis is wiiliu don you
think sc Betides I have read that a
married man has a better prospect
of a long careerthan a bachelor and that
one of the latter when near his end had
this fact so impressed upon him that he
had a clause inserted in his marital settle-
ment adding to his wifes allowance for
every year he survived good idea that
eh And I shall certainiy do the same
with Melanie Talbot
Pleasant to hear all this thought
Montague Lonsdale
Yes continued the baronet lying
I back in a loungingchair and pursulng

the concentric rings from his c gar curl-
ing upward our greatest happiness con-
sists in the love we give to others rather
perhaps than the love that is given to us
We are told by some that i is a pleasant
and gracious thing to bs loved ewn if
we can not love in return and that I be-
lieve is her esse as yet
What is the old fool thinking of
now almost escaped Lonsdale as he
gave his raoustachios a vicious twist
I wonder that you have not been smit-
ten in that quarter said Sir Brisco
with a hearty laugh But of course
with India before you and all that sort
of thing you cant settle down yet
Eventually the conthlences of the bar-
onet rather enraged him but as he had
not Melanies permission to avow his en
gagement beyond her own family circie
he was compelled to remain silent but
he writhed under the prospect of leaving
behind him when he went to India such
a wealthy and probable suitor to be fa
voured by the malinfluence of Uncle
Grimshaw
He had observed the protracted conver-
sation in the recess of the moonlit vin
uow a conversation from which he
thought Melanie might have broken away
And how confidentially they seemed to be
talking there lie knew but too well her
guardians opposition to his suit and
could well suspect his too probable viw
of favor for another and if that other
meant as he doubted not was the
wealthy master of Ravensbnurne the
nervous brevity of Melaines farewell
though in reality born of caution and
fear seemed in some way accounted
for and so and sc by degrees and as-
sisted by pique and anger he formed
quite an indictment against poor Melanie
and found innumerable Haw iu her con-
duct for which he would duly punish her-
on the morrow
The lingering in the moonlit widow
seemed to assume exsggerated propor-
tion and then he knew that in court-
ship one thing has such a knack of lead-
ing to another while as if to spur his
chagrin Sir Brisco began again
Of one thing as regards means I
