It was keen sorrow parting with her friendsâ€"above all, with her lover; but, as she drove through the pleasant smiling coun- try, her heart grew warm within her, thinking of her love. She thanked Heaven for itâ€"this love which had changed her whole lifeâ€"this sweet happy love which had dawned upon her like the smile of an angel. Oh, if it would but please Heaven to take pity on her, to help her to save Lance- wood, and to give her her love! to be all out of the way. Repeated summonses brought a bewildered foot- man on the scene. “ What is the matter?” asked Miss Neslie. “\Vhat is going on here ?” “Where is Mr. Dorman 2” she in- quired of the footman who followed her. A few minutes afterward Gerald Dorman stood before the woman whom he loved g9 vign- L99§iin8 into “A fancy fair, miss,” replied the man. The house seemed to.be deserted. She walked through the grand en- trance-hall, through the long suite of rooms, and saw no one. "Ask him‘to come here to me in. the library,” she said. ” Say that I havg returned and wish to see him.” “ Dear Lady Smeaton,” he replied, touched by her kindness. “ I have not gained all I wanted; but Ihave made some little progress. I do not des- pair." Presently the carriage drew upat the front entrance. There was no one to receive her. The servants seemed the beautifnT £539 He 5.93% a. subtle change there. The haggard, worm ex- pression had disappeared, the exquis- ite colouring had all returned; the dark eyes were splendid in their depth and fire. Vivien held out her hand " I hope You have good news for me," she said. They eat for some time longer, while the last: rayaof golden light died away and the stars began to appear; still he found so much to say. and she was so pleased to listen. Then they re- entered the house. Vivien retired at once to her own room; she wanted to be alone With her happiness. Lady Smeaton went to Lord St. Just. “1 cannot," she replied; and he saw her lips grow white with pain. “ ’ivien,” cried Lord St. Just, “can you nor. reconsider your decision») It is so cruel to me, dear.” “1 must bear it like a man,” he said, “although it. almost uumuns me. I thought, when I had prevailed upon you to say that you loved me, all (lif- ficulty was ended. That is the first step 1 find. Let me do one thing, my darlingâ€"let me uvmv myself. your loverâ€"let me tell all the world how sweet and how great a pleasure I have won.” “May I come to Lancewood to see you ?” he asked. “At least you will write to meâ€"you will allow me to write to you, Vivien? Oh, my darling, how hard it seems I” “I shall be pleased,” she replied. "Your letters will be the only gleam of sunlight that will come to me.” “No. I should not like to see you there.” "Not yet,” she replied. “I think the wish nearest to Lady Neslie’s heart is that I should marry and leave Lance- wood entirely in her hands. I would rather that she knew nothing at pres- entâ€"it would but increase my difficul- ties.” - us, you will not give me any hope of calling you wife, although you love me 7” “I cannot,” she replied. “It is the same to me as though I stood by the grav’e of my love. I must not desert my post, let me be unhappy as I may -I must remain at Lancewood.” “And what of my unhappiness, Vi- vien? My life will be a blank with- out you.” She looked at him with tenderness that he never forgot. “1 am more sorry for you than for myself,". she said gently; "but you will not. urge me to do what is not right." He kissed the soft hands that lay in his. “Your wish shall be my law. I have wr‘ :1 from you the admission that you love me. ; I should be wanting in grace and Courtesy if 1 comylztinml after that. Vivien. you will remember one thingâ€"it is by vour own wish and de- sire that our love remains for the present a secret; but you will not for- get now that you have one who is all the world to you. I stand in the place of father, brother, friend. My darling, you will tell your trials and difficulties to me now; and, believe me, they will seem all the easier to bear because you have some one to share them. Should a time come when you need a friend, one word will bring me to your Side, and I will de- fend you against the whole world.” “These are hard terms,’ Vivien,” said Lord St. Just. "You will not al-‘ low any promise of marriage between J Through Storm and Sunshine “No, my dear, I never do that,” Laughed “ miladi." But I fancied that ' I had heard of something of the kind. You will join our visitors, Vivien 9” “ They are very amusingzâ€"much more so than your stiff countesses. For my part, I hold the English ar- istocracy in abborrence.” “ And they return the compliment,” said Vivien. Btut " milzadi” went back laughing to her guests. CHAPTER XXXI. It was a long day for Vivienâ€"the time hung very heavy. She wandered through the deserted rooms; she looked. up at the noble faces of the dead Neslies on the walls ; she thought of the man whom she had learned to love. She looked, long at her moth- er’s pacture. 'Ebe slow, cruel, sunny hours lingered. She could hear the .. Yéu forget yourself, Lady Neslie.” she said coldly. “I think not. I do not know any of them, Lady Nesliq.” “I see a number of strange peo- ple here, Lad-y Neslie,” she observed. “Yes,” was the careless rejoinder. ““When we cannot have what we want, we must beeontent with what “ How do you do, Vivien ?” she _ask- ed. “I had quite forgotten that you intended returning to-day. You find .us in the midst of a very brilliant fetefi’ we can get,’ says a very sensible ren- dering of our French proverb. I hardly fancied you would return, Vi- vien. Did you no+ find an admirer amongst Lady Smeaton‘s friends?” Miss Neslie‘s face flushed indig- nanEJy. “ No,” he replied. “ Arnd Holmes. the butler, has offended Lady Neslie. He told her that he was acustomed to wait upon ladies and gentlemen. Her ladyship would have sent him away at once, but Monsieur de Nouchet said no one else understood the wines.” " Lancewood shall come to no harm,” said the girl with flashing eyes, “And you have not. joined the crowd, Mr. Dorman ?” A rustle of silk was heard, a sub- tle perfume seemed to float through the room. Looking round, Vivien,saw Lady Neslie watching her with a mocking smile. ; “I have seen few familiar faces amongst them,” he rep-lied. “ Her ladyship has been seeking popularity lately amongst the very mixed so- ciety of Hydewell: as the county fam- ilies positively decline her invita- tions. The visitors, many of whom are staying there only on the pre- text of taking the waters, as well as others who are not recognized by the county peOple have accepted, and they, with their wives and families, form the greater part of the guests. Then there is a fresh relay of visitors from Paris of the same stamp'as the last. I saw Sir Harry Lane yester- day, and he said that he! did not know what Lancewood was coming to.” “ You seem surprised,” she said, with a lovely, laughing smile. “I am pleased to see you, Mr. Dormanâ€" wlhw do you look so astonished at “A fancy fair,” he replied,â€"‘ her lad.‘l3hi;0's last whim. I am almost sorry that you came home before it was over. I should not imagine that there has ever been such a motley crowd at Lancewood before.” "A fancy fair! But why has Lady Nest-i8 introduced that 2” “I cannot tell you, Miss Neslie.’The whole neighbourhood has talked about it. You must indeed have been hap- pily and huein engaged not to have heard of it.” Again her face flushed at the re- membravncc of how she had been en- gagged. â€"has disappeared from your face ; and somethingâ€"I cannot tell whatâ€"has taken its place.” "Every one in the county knows of it,” declared Mr. Dormrin. “ There could not be greater preparations for the coming of age of :1 prince. Gun- ter’s men have been down for 1the last two days from London; we have \\’:111 11nd Tinford’s band. The pictur- esque part of the affair baffles all my powers of description. There are tents with gypsies who tell fortunes, Tyrolese peasants, Swiss peasants, Italian peasants. There is dancing, shooting, every kind of amusement.” i-n kindly greeting to him, but Ger- ald could not speak, He could only look into the face that was all the world to him. She blushed cfimson. Was it so plain then, this love of hersâ€"so pat- ent that peeple could read it in her face? “ I have been very happy,” .she said. “ It was so grateful to be at peace and to be free from discomfort. I met such pleasant peeple and such kind friends. But, Mr. Dorman, what is; going on here ?" Lady Smeaton never spoke of Lancewood,” she said, “knowing that it was not a pleasant subject to me. Even if they knew of it, no one would tell me." “ You are changed,” answered Ger- ald. “Somethingâ€"I cannot tell what “And who are the guests 2” asked Miss Neslie. edund b1 music and revelry in the park. Passing through the dining room, she saw preparations for a large banquet; and, hearing anoise in the ball room, she went‘thither. She found that preparations were be- ing made for a dance when the later Could this be Laneewood, the state- ly, beautiful home wherein no unwor- th‘y feet had ever troddenâ€"this» de- serted house, the servants of which rushed distractedly from park to garden, where the sound of loud laughter came in through the open windows?

She was only anxious;- not to see and hear of what. was going on. She went to the draxwlngt-room, the windows of which looked over the broad terraces and pleasure grounds. nee: "of this hour prevented further dancing in the park. "N-othxng,” he told her. "But Lady Neshe has given me to understand that she will not ‘much longer requlre my presecnea at Lancewood.’ Hours later she saw the flushed, disheveled revelers entering the house. So motley a crew had never been seen at Lancewood. Vivien saw soi-disant military men with huge mustaches and large cigars; she saw ladies overdressed and rouged in the rooms that had been to her asshrines, be- cause her father and mother had liv- ed in them; she saw laughing crowds of people whose presence she consid- ered a dire misfortune. She did not go amongst themâ€"few. inquired about her; others did not even know of her existence. The once-flattered mistress of the house was now little more than a cipher; no one noticed her, or seem- ed to remember her existence. If Sir Arthur could but have foreseen thisâ€"all the evil, the scandal, the humiliation that this woman would bring upon his home! Then ViVien bethougfiit herself that she had not yet changed her traveling attire. 8101: at heart, she went through the ceremony of dressing, Joan choosxng her lady’s favorite costumeâ€"a dress of rich black velvet, out after the quaint. fashion of a Venetian portrait, square in the front, showing the firm white neck and throat, with wide hanging sleeves, the costly lace show- ing the rounded, beautiful arms. A diamond arrow fastened the mass of dark hair. Vivien went to the nursery to see the boyâ€"he was absent, joxnmg' 1n the revels. Then she sought Gerald, and asked him if anything had been done 1n. the way of lessons. Turn which way Vivien would, there was no comfort. The day was dying when she took up her station thereâ€"the western sky was all aflame. She went out on She had difficulty in findxng user- vant who had leisure to prepare her some tea, the:r were so busily en- gaged with “my lady’s guests. waen ordered it to be taken to her room- there at least she would have peace.
