When Sir Edgar Dyson had diBcovered, npon his return to Baiiield« that Lily FiBch had been already spirited away, he had been very mnoh distarbed indeed. There- bad been a yearning to eee her once more in his heart, that nOt all the daties of his neW re- latiots towards Lady Honfiria had been able to q'jench and there had also been misgiv- iuga in his own mind as to whether he had not popsibly been too ready to misjudge and to thiiik^vil biJtetr- • patting themselves out, and of g iving np^ their own creature-comforts, f^tgP Httt y Mj M Miss Finch.

But all this was seemingly to be denied him, When he came back to Baifield, Lily wa3 gone, and he could not find out from his mother where she had been taken to. "She has gone to friends ar the seaside â€" I really cannot tell you where," was all that Lady Dyson would tell bira, and she said it in a manner that made hi.T;i latcy she knew no n«jr-tiȣn he did himself of her ^j^hej-^- aboutlt "It was the best thihp; iVi'thfe wofM for bei^tp have a thorough chaage of air.

" But, ray dear nicther, have 3 ou not pro- vided for her at all â€" how is she to live " " Oh, of course 1 have given her plenty tf money â€" she will not have to be a burden upon anybody," an,d tjjat .Ti^'as, all the infor- mation that he could ki^ax:Â¥it6t» Lady Dy- son. In his perplexity Sir Edgar even rode oVtr to Wrexham, and asked Mrs. Finch, who was a person he cordially detested, for news of her daughter. "She has gone to the sea, was that lidy'a answer. "1 retlly haven't troubled myself much about it. I suppose Lady Dyson knows where she is, as she has been kind enough to send her â€" you know I never cor- respond jnufihTvith Lily^^it fs EoftiewtiSre in Essex, 1 believe." Mrs. Finch possibly knew more than, she chose to say, but she was too clever to impaxt the desired iniormation. She had not for- gotten that Lily had been once what she called "focliah" about Sir Edgar and now that he was engaged to be married to Lady Honoria E.osett, of what possible interest could L'ly Finch's movements be to him She had always hated the Dysons, and to encourage the baronet's empty and meaning- less attentions to her daughter, would be, sheconsidered, worse than useless. There was one more person whom Sir Edgar con- sulted concerning Mifs Finch, and that was his own brother. ^^'ith a strange pang of anxiety at his heart i.e spoke to W2lter about her. " Walter, do you know â€" surely you do know â€" where Miss Finch is gone " " I My dear fellow, i assure you I have not the remotest idea Look here, Edgar, you have ran your head agarnst this idea until you have gone insane upon it.

' " I have been a madraan;" he said to him- selr, bftterly. I have wrecked my own hap- piness, and potsibly hers too, because I judged her too hastily, and condemned her without giving her a- chance of self-defence. ' But still, she had no busin^ES to allow Walter to kiss herâ€" a women cannot be ffiite true and pare wto permits a m'.n to embrace her, even in sport." But though he bldmed her still, lie blimed himself far more, and was very unhappy. It was not possible for him to do anything else â€" he ccl'II cot in conscience set himself to work to trape L;ly Finch and to pursue her. The Fcandal for her and for Lady Hoaoria, whom b^deep ly reepeptcd and sin- cerely likett, woulihave been too great. Then Lady Hcnoriawent to.Sandyport to gtt rid of her ecld, and there came the news of her sprained ankle, aod then the letter fromhfer which summoned hini to her «ide, and with itâ€" at 1 wtâ€" the information which he had bqen, Seeking for concdming Lilv Finch. As to Ely, she OLly heard the news of Sir Edgar's advent from Lady Honoria's lips upon the4»m]p'day Uiat Ijscamf. ,She wafi sitting by the couch of the invalid, doing her beet toannue )i*, and to vwy the dull- ness and mondtcny which she co'mplained of, whent La^y Honoria-aaid suddeoly to her •* Who do you suppose is coming here to- day, by the very next train " " I cannot tell.

And then Lily bent her head vesy low, and her heart throbbed rapidly atd pain- fuly. •• Perhaps it is Sir Edgar." " Y^ you have gt\eB8ed it.

" ' "â-  ' " No, I dtm't think it is natural at all for a man to condemn himself to the discomforts of a second-rate country inn, and to the in- tense stupidity of the most dead-alive little seaside town in the world, merely to see a woman whom in course of time he would be able to see with perfect comfort and conven- ence to himself.

He was coming again â€" and she would see him again â€" he would speak to her kindly and gently, perhaps â€" would tell her he forgave her â€" and though she would never be able, probably, to e xplain to him how terribly he had mistaken her in deeming her guilty for the unmaniy persecution of his own brother â€" yet if he were only to say, "I forgive you," wow Id not that be comfort enough to brighten her life through many of the long, dismal, unlovely years that spread themselves out gloomily and drear- ily before her. 1 "Oh I wish 1 had died wtfen 1 was so ill " said the poor child, miserably, tj her- self, as she sought the seclusion Of her dull- looking lodgings. And here, when she knew that the train must have arrived, and Sir Edgar actually be in Sandjrport, Lily Finch felt strongly inclined at first to lock herself up in kerbcd- rcom. But during the course of the afternoon, a little note came to the Indging-house by the sea from the Rectory. It was an invitation to Miss Finch to come to dinner that very evening. " Mamma hopes you will come," wrote Marian Norton, "as Sir Edgar will be here, and Lady Honoria thinks he will like to meet you." Lily had not the strength of mind to de- cline this invitartion she «ent back -word that she would go. Now, the' badt dratfing-room of the R^fc* tory had hetai fir -th^ last two days trafs^ formed.4)y tieiind)i«8s of her hbktesa, into^.

LADY HONORIA DOES HEB DUTV. "When one has a great and important re- solution to make, there is nothing like sleep- ing a night upon it' before making up one's 'mind as towha* is to be. done/' This was Lady Honoria's waking reflection the following morning, as the sun came shining brightly into her roonS. She rang the bell for her maid, and began to get up. -^ "I feel much better about it .^o day than I did li^t night," she. aaid to herjelf "and now I caii fee my way plainly, abd I know what my duty is Cm I ever bi\ thankful enough for the acc»delit-"whieh has prevented he wreck of three liVfS And then, as soon as she was dressed, and installed upon the sofa by the tow- window, and had finished the tea and toast that had been set upon a little trayl»y h«r side. Lady Honoria sent round a note to the hotel, beg- ging Sir Edgar to coms^nd see her as quick- ly as w^i^il^ ,_„ .. *.i«"/ii ' " He came in brightly and cheerfully. "Well, how are you this morning, Honoriaâ€" better, I hope?' 'I ^as sorry you felt so unwell last night we must get yon away iiofu here this pta.ce. is too C[uiet for you â€" â€" " And then something in her face stopped him, and he saw^ by the way in which she looked at him, that something was wrong with her. He sat down upcn the low chair by her side. " Is anything tl^e mattajp,^ Honoria? " he asked her. gravely and kindly. " Yes," she said, " there is something very much the matter. I have a very serious and important thing to say to you." He had no idea what was .^^ ™« â€" .v.^„ „.._, .. ..„ the manner of thing that she bad to say to him. He smiled at her in a kind and friendly way. "You know very well that I will give my very best attention to anything you have to say to me.^' For a minute she did not speak, but looked away out of the window. She had not, per- haps, loved him very deeply â€" it was not in her nature to do do so but she was dis- appointed in him, and she felt the slight to her vanity and her self-love very keenly indeed. â-  "Edgar." she said suddenly turning round again and looking at him, " do you know that I overheard what you said to Miss Finch in this room last night " He looked startled and his face flushed, and then he said, easaeaUy " I am very, very scray^Sar it, Honoria." " But 1 am not sorry at all," she an- swered, bravely, with something of herusual downrightness aud dash of manner "for it has shown me the truth, and has prevented us all from makine a very great mistake. You know, Edgar I love the truth â€" at anv price "Then, Honoria, let me tell the truth " he cried, eageily. "The truth is, ihat I was once engaged to Lily Finch, but my en- gagement with her has long ago been at an end. I am pledged to you, and nothiog on earth shall induce me to break my faith to you i VFOuld not doybu such ah'injury for the whole world 1 Do hot imagine that I will not keep Ixno to you I shall nevet see Lilyâ€" Miss Finqh I msanâ€" again.

"I am glad of that." â- , And then she stretched out her hand to him. He ten k it almost reverently between lji» own, and raised it to his lips. There was a little quiver at the corners of liPi voice; "there is nothing, to torgive you made a mistakp, but wa have f9und it out in time, that is all. I liked you verymudh â€"I like yotr still. We shall always be good friends, I hope b^t you know I am not goiflg U) brea^ my heart, nor,d« an, old maid, not at all;" and she laughed a little as she said this. " "We need not tell anybody about this,^ she said again, presently, after a moment's pause. ".Nobody need know exactly what has happeiied. We will just sa^thatw* have quarreled-r-rthat wa agreed to breik our engagement by mutual consent. There ij no occasion to let' everybody into the secret." And thersr waa a little flush of wonnded pride upon h^r. fpca as she said this for, after all, it was hard upon Lord Alchester's beautiful daughter that her lover should have preferred a little unknown gov- erness to herself. She felt the humiliation of it more intentely than she would have liked to own. ' " No one shall ever know," he answered. "But you have behaved very nobly. Lady Honoria. 1 must tell you once more that had you not accidentally diMOvcred my secret, you should never haveTound it out from- my Conduct to you. The effort ct my life would have been to crush my love for Lily out of my heart, and to be to you the best pnd most d'^voted of btisbands." "I dare say but then, .you see, I. had rather have a husband to whom it wouli not be an pfort to be good and de- voted." she said, quietly. "And now. Sir Edgar, I think you had better wish me good-bye â€" and â€" and â€" give Lily i^y love, and tell ber I am not at all vexed with her. I have always liked her very much, and by and bye, when-^when I come back from that yacliting, you know, and when you are settled down at Barfield â€" I shell come over and call upon her, and I hope we shall end by bcnxig very good friends. You need not trouble to write to my father I will do that â€" aud to your mother, too. Now gj, Sir E.lgar â€" good- bye " She held out her l\and again, and Sir Edgar kissed it once moio, murmuring a de- vout and heartfelt "Heaven bless you," as he bent over it. And then he got himself away somehow out of the room and the house, feeling j ust a little bit ashamed of himself for the part he had played in the whole business, and yet with a load of care lightened from off his lieart, such as he had not experienced for many a long day. He lifted his hat from his head as he stood for a minute outside the Rectory hall, and drew a long bre»t!i of relief, inhaling the fresh sea-breezes as he did so. "Now for Lily " he said to himself, and walked rapidly away from the Rectory in in the direction of the row of green-shutter- ed lodging-houses. • As for Lady Honoria, after she was left alone she lay back for some minutes upon her sofa-cushions, with her eyes closed. She looked rather pale, as though she were very tired, and there were two large circlej round her eyes, which certainly haa no accustom- ed place there. After a minute or two she opened her eyes, and sat half up. "So ends that chapter oF my life," she said, aloud to herself, as she drew her writ- ing-case near to her on the table by her side. Then she d«ppel her pan into tae ink, and wrote the two following notes: " My Dkae Papa, " You will be suprised to hear that I have broken off my engagement with Sir Edgar. I find, when it comes to the point, that I do not care for him sutiiciently to marry him, so I thought it best to put an end to everything between us at once. My ankle is getting op very well, and I shall make a great effort to come home on Friday or Saturday. Please tell everything about me before i come back.' " Your affjjctionate daughtar, "HotNoa;iA." "Mr Dear Lady Dvson, " Sir Edgar and i have settled that we are not likely to mak^ each other hap py, so we have mutually agresd to break off our engagement to each other.

The second of these notes ga\ e ksr more trouble than tlie first, and she re^d it over several times before she felt quite satisfied With It. At last, however, she folded them ..rw^P ^d »idre8«ed and seaUd them. That u done I" ah« said aloud to her- self, with a sigh of reUef, and leaned her head once more back among the sofa-ciiah- ibns. She was not goihgto break her heart, aa she had told him, butshe would have bwn noce than human h^ she not felt it. ' ' (to BK coisraajnjKD.)
