It was loiMlhin? very delightful to be the chaperon of a beautiful young heires* like Lady Erskine, and she was alway* delighted to agree with Lady -Marion'* word*, opinion* and ideas. Lady Marion wa* submissive and gentle by nature. She was one of the class of women born to be ruled and not to rule. She could never govern, but she could obey. She could not command, but she could carry out the wishes of other* to the last letter. Lady Cambrey, from motivei of her own, wanted her to go to Home. She had manag- ed it without the least trouble. "Mario '," she laid, "have yon decided where to spend the winter?" " No," was the quiet reply, " I have not thought much about it, Aunt Jane, have you ?" The word* were so sweetly ai.d placidly spoken. " Ye*, I have thought a great deal about fell sure he would not remarry Leone in .June, hot she wonld stoop to no vulgar way to prevent it. It often happened that the countes* her- self opened the letter-bag. When ihe did so, and there was a letter from Leone, the always gave it to her m with a smile, in which there was just a ihade of con- tempt. "Another letter," *he would say ;"my dear Lance, you contribute quite your share to the inland revenue." She never alluded to Leone, but she did permit herself, al rare intervals, to relate some ludicrous anecdote* oi people who hidjsuffereil from a severe attack of love. Lord Chando* found the tin- e pass very pleasantly : he said to himielf he might as well remain in Rome and enjoy himself, as go back to England and be miserable. Wherever he went, he could not lee Leone. He would not trust himself ; he loved her too much, if he were in the same land not to lie near her. Being in Rome, he did as the Romans did ; he amused himself to the very utmost of hit power ; he seized every golden hour that passed, and though he loved Leone a* much as ever, he ceased to feel the keen pain which their separation had caused him at first, l tin! morning, from the Countess it. I hear that a great many very nice English people have gone to Rome. 'Ihey say that there will be one of the, nicest circle* in Europe there." " In Rome," -aid Lady Marion, musing- ly. " Do I know many of those who are going 'j " Yri, some of our own set. One of the great Roman princes, Dorio, ha* just mar- ried a neautiful English girl, so that for this year at least t ne English will tie all the rage in Rome. I should like to go there. I know some of the Dorio family, but not the one juit married." " Then, if you would like it, we will go there," said Lady Marion ; " I shall be pleased if you are." So without any more difficulty ths fint part of the programme was curried out, and Lady Marion Krskine, with her chap- eron, Lady June Cambrey, settled in '.tome for the winter. They took a beautiiuliy furnished villa, called the Villa Korga/i, near to some famous garden*. La ly ( tin- brey took care that, while she reveled in Itali.n luxuries, no Knglish comfort should be wanting the Villa Bnrgtzisoon had in it all the comfort* of an English home. Sh* came home one morning, after intny hours of ((topping, with a look ot lome importance on her face. " Marion, "she said, " I have heard that the Lanswells are here. I am very pleas- ed. I thought of calling thi* afternoon ' i and ilyou are tired, I will go alone." And from the tone of her voice, rather j than her she would prefer to pay her visit alone. " You remember the Countess of I.an- well ; the wa. U grande dame par excel- lence in London last summer. She admired you very much, if you recollect." " I remember hsr," laid Lady Marion ; then with some interest, she added, " It wa* her (on, L inl Chan lo, who go: him- self into such dilliculti.M, was it not '" Lady Cambrey was slightly taken by surprise ; her ward had always shown such of Laniwell to Lady Jane Cambrey, there passed a little note. It said, simply : " Shall we take the first step to-night ? Bring Lady Marion to the Princess (ial/.a's concert, and leave the reit to me." Lady Cambrey lilt no time. She lought her ward and said s much to her about the concert, tor which they both had invitations, that Lady Marion wa* eager to go. "I mult superintend your toilet, Marion ; ae il is your first appearance in Roman society, you must make a favorable im- pression. ' She selected one of the loveliest toilets that could have been cho*en a while brocade, embroidered with flower* of the palesl blue. "You mult wear pearls and pale-blue flower*," ihe said, "and you will find that to-morrow every one will be talking of the new beauty that ha* risen over R" Lady Marion looked perfectly beautiful ; ihe was perfect in her style, the very queen of blondes, wilh her sott, shining hair, and ye* blue a< the mimmer ikirs. Her face was the purest mixture of rose and white, with the duinty, delicate color described in that one line "l 'rim-inn .-hell, wilh white c.i foam." SMC had a beautiful, fresh mouth, a driipled chin, a neck and shoulders white as ivory, arms so rounded and while il was a treat to tee them. She wa. of the queenly type tall, with the promise of a grand womanhood ; her white throat was firm, her arms rounded and strong; .he was the ideal of an English gentlewoman ; in t pure, proud face, clear eyes, and sweet lip* were beautiful beyond words. When she waa dresnod thatevei ing lortho pnncess'concerl itheloukcd most charming.

"If he doe* not fall in love with her, ' aid Lady Cambrey to herielt, "it will be lM-cause helms no admiration left in him for any one except Mis dairy-maid." Lvly l.im, II had been very successful in her diplomacy. She had spoken of the concert before her >on, who bad received an invitation, but laid nothing about his going. He listened in silence, wondering if she would a*k him to go wilh her, saying In hiniHt'li thai he should decline, for he did not like concert-going. Then, a. rhe did she .aw the pure, proud face of Lady En- kino, law lhat ihe wai seated in the very place where her beauty wa seen to the beat advantage, then she took her seat, never even looking in that direction, and laying nothing to hei SOB. It wa* just like laying a trap for a bird he fell into il with the same helplem- ness. Lady Liiuwell neither kokel at Lady Er.kiue nor her son, yet the knew exactly the moment when bis eye* fir it fell on her. She saw him start ; then ihe eat quite mil, waiting for the question ihe knew muit follow. It came at last.

She has a itring of pearls in Her hair. Who can she be?" Still Lily Lumwell (tift-i'i ignorance. She looked on the wrong side of the room, and shu affected not to understand where he meant, and when she could affect no longer, she said : "Do you mean Lady Mirion Erskine, the young lady near Princess tiolza?" '* Yes, it must be Lady Erskine,'' he re- plied. " How beautiful ihe is, mother. She shines like a fair pearl wilh that back- ground of dark tapesiry. 1 heard som* one say yesterday thai she wa* in Rome. What a perfect face." My lady looked at it coolly. " Do you think so Lance V she said. " I thought that you gave the preference to dark beauties." His heart went back for one moment to the beautiful, pe alienate face he had seen by the mill stream. The gorgeous salon, the beautiful women, the peerless face of Lady Marion, the exqniiite music, all floated away from him, and he wn once more by the mill itream, wilh Leone'* face before him. So sir ng, 10 vivid waa the memory, that it was with difficulty he refrained from calling the name aloud. My lady guessed by the ud den expression of pain on hi* face where hi* thought* had gone. She recalled them. Tastes differ so greatly," she .aid. " Do you really consider Lady MariOL beaulitul I. in ?" " Yes, I have seen no one more lovely," he answered. Then the countv-s liiimssed the subject loo much must not be said at onoe. She did not mention Lady Marion'* name again that evening, but she saw that her son looked often at her, and the smiled to think the bait had taken. Again th>y were walking through the vast gardens of one ot the Rnmtn palaces, when the whole party met Lady Cambrey was with her niece; Lord Chiudus was near the onuntee*; but not close by her *ide. The ladies met, exchanged a few word*, then parted, the counted not having made the leas' effort to introduce her *<>i'; he spoke of it afterward. " Mother," he aaid, " you did not intro- duce ma to Lady Erskine." Lady Lanswell smiled calmly. " It w.'s out of pure consideration for her: they tell me she ha. so many admirer, in Rome.

My lady always anew exactly whei: to leave off. She turned aw v m w, leaving her son with the |.npre.<i-.n 'hat Lady Erskine would not ciru to Un- . hiir., on account of his unfortunate ' . .'lair. They were dentine, I to mc' agtin that ,4. A lull was given I. .-an Knglidh lady, Mrs. Chester, who had one of the bell houses in t'. .me. Lady Erskine looked very beautiful ; her dresi was of pale blue velvet, superbly trim- Hied wilh white lace ; she were dia- monds in her hair, and carried a bouquet of white lilies in her hand. She was the belle of the ball, and It was Mri. Cnester who in- troduced Lord Cn tudiii to li. r. She wa* i been the chosem confidante ni Ijulv Lans- well, she could ii'it havr dona more to far- ther her views.

"Lidy Marion ErV,m- rr tli<es my idea of a fair woman," said Mr. Chester. and even during the brief timo more than one present thought what a handsome pvr they were. Lord Chando* wa* much pleat- ed with her the low voice, the exquisitely refine I accent, the gentle grace, all delight- ed him. She lacked paisiosj^powei.nre.origmality, the chief things which went for the making up <>f Leone i character ; no two people MuM be More disi'*ilar, more) unlike t yet both had a charm tor Lord Chandos ;with the one be found ttM) stimuiani. of wit and feniua, with the) other sweetest rest. They had *everej dances together ; in her her quiet, gentle way Lady Marion confided to him that ihe preferred Englishmen to Italians, whom she thought wanting in frankness and eass. Why did you come to Rome?" asked Lord Chandoiand the beautiful blonde was almost at a lots how to answer the question . The only aniwer that the could give wa* that Lady Cambray had first mentioned it. "It wa* not from any great wish, then, to see the anliquilie* or the art treasure* of Rome !" aiked Loid Chandoe, thinking ai he spoke with what rapture Leone Would have thought of a visit to Italy. "No it was not that, although I would not have mined leeing Rome on any ac- count. What brought you here, Lord Chandos. He also hesitated for a moment, then he answered : " 1 really do not know. I came, so far a* I know my own mind, became my mother came," and then their eyes met with a curious, half-laughing gaze. It was itrange that they (honld have both come ther* without having any clear or distinct notion why. " It seem* to me," said Lord Chando*, " that we are both under guidance." "I am glad, for my own part," laid I ady Enkine. " It i* much easier to be guided than to guide. I find it easier to obey than to command." " Do you?" he asked, laughingly. "You will find it very easy then *ome day ' to love, honor and obey.' " " I do not doubt it," said the beautiful heiress, calmly. "I should not care to go through life alone ; I want a stronger soul than my own to lean on." And again Lord Chandos went back in thought to the noble, self-reliant girl who would hold her own against the world if need should be. And yet he liked Lady Marion; her grace- ful, languid helpleunes* had a great charm for him. When he bade her guod-e\ening, it was with the hope that they would soon meet again. (TO HE OlXTIXflD).
