SFNOPSIS OF PBBCEDma CHAPTKBa Stella King and her sister Cecily, witii their mother, are living for cheapness at Valency, where the girls are going to schooL At the openi^ of the story the tvo gids are watching a fancy dress baU vaag on in the rooms below. An acddent enables Stella to assume the character ^of a Swiss peasant girl, in which character she meets Mr. Norman A"'"^^""' who, charmed by her pretty manner» kissesJisr after a jianca^, and thus incurs her undying dislike. Mr. Allingh^jDj however, turns out to be her cousin, Bent by his grandfather (and the girls' to visit the unknown cousins, in order to make up a match between the two families. When fhey meet next day, both recognise one another, and Stella indignantly refuses to have anything te say to him, much less marry him and Norman goes off in a huff. Mrs. King shortly afterwards meets with an accident which leads to her death, and the two girls are left alone, to look to their grandfather. It is arranged that they are to start for his home, but at the last moment Cecily refuses to do so, havinst been "adopted" by the French people with whom they have been stopping, and who take her to Paris. Stflla starts for Wrexham alone, where she finds her crabbed old grandfather, her cousin Norman, and Mrs. Finch â€" a cunnint; sort of personage, who has ulterior views of her own regarding Norman and her daughter Lily â€" a poor little governess at Lady Dyson's, in love with Sir Edgar, her pupils' big brother, who amuses himself by kissing her whenever he gets the chance, and is caught in the act by Maud, the eldest of the pupils and horri- fies his lady mother by being found alone with the governess while ostensibly explain- ing to her the merits of a new turnip machine. Lily gets lectured by her mother, and Sir Edgar is diplomatically sounded by his mother. Norman and Stella's meeting is not a friendly one. He threatens to repeat the kissing experiment she loses her temper again, and he leaves the house in a huff the momins; after her arrival, after which it be- comes rather lonesome for Stella, until she makes the acquaintance of Lily. CHAPTER Xn.â€" Continued. Stella's a'iieties. '• Yes and you are Mrs. Finch's daugh- ter. How happy you all look " with a little s'gh. "It is nice driving â€" it is such a bught morning," explained Lily, feeling almost sorry to look happy when that beautiful Miss King appeared to be so sad. " What a darling pony," continued Stella, patting the animal's fat sides, " Isn't he a stunner " cried Willie "he's my very own. Edgar gave him to me last birthday, and I ride him nearly every day â€" only sometimes I allow him to be put into this cart when we all want to drive togeth- er." " That is kind of you," said Stella. " We are taking a note to Mr. King, from mamma," volunteers Tom. "Yes, and it's to ask you all to a party, and there are to be twenty people to diimer, and more in the evening and Lady Honoria Rosett is come to stay with mamma, and this party is to be for her." This was from Alice with much eagerness. "And there'll be lots of ices and creams," cried Tom, "and we are sure to have som of them sent into the school room, and Maud, lucky girl, will go in to dessert, and get grapes and peaches but mamma does not think us old enough for that yet." Stella and Lily exchanged a laugh. " I hope I am going to be asked to this wonderful party," said Stella. " Oh yes, I know you are," cried Alice, for I heard mamma say you were to be, and your sister too." " I am sorry my sister is not here yet, she will miss it." " Oh no, she won't, because it is nearly three weeks off, and mamma says she felt sure she would be at Wrexham then." "I think we had better perhaps drive on,' said Lily, who began to wonder what fur- ther revelations Mias Alice would proceed to make. " Oh wouldn't you like to have a drive Miss King " cried Willie, who was a pretty mannered boy " because Tom and I can get out and walk, and you can go on in the carriage." "Thank you; I should like it very much," said Stella; and the exchange was instantly effected. That was how Stella and Lily began to be friends. In that short drive across the sunny park up to the door of Wrexham Hall these two girls, who were both upright £ind good in their natures, although their characters and dispositions were widely different from each other, begon to experience a sympathy and an instinctive attraction one towards the other, which in time ripened into a firm and fast friendship. Stella was astonished to find that Lily was so unlike her mother, on whose account she had naturally felt undesirous of making her acquaintance and Lily was delighted to meet in Miss King, of Wrexham, so sim- ple and pleasant a companion, whose envy of herself â€" the poor little governess â€" filled her with unbotinded surprise. They had not, however, much opportun- ity on this occasion of improving the mutual liking which they felt for each other, as Mrs. Fmch carried off her daughter to her own room, there to lecture her at leisure; whilst Mr. King sent for Stella almost immediately to go into his study. •' Have you heard from your sister, Stel- la " he asked as she entered. He was standing by the fire place with an open note, the one, evidently, which Lily had just brought, in his hand. "Not since last week, grandpa." "%hen I must beg you to write to her to day, and tell her that she must be here without fail by the 24tfa, as I am going to accept an invitation for yon both to dine at Barfield that day." "I will write, of course, grandpapa, bat I amnotatallsuxe that C«raly will come; she must, of couiae, consider Monaieur and Madame Halevy's wishes." Mr. Kins frowned. " I woud loonar bring np ten Ixjs than one ^1," he said, irrltamy. ' ForlBsately for yoo, graadpspa, yoa have not bem triad, orltiuak joa would prefer tlwone girl,"iaid Stella; JW«fr_, "NotifthegiriwBta like W^ «^»* the old man, with good-natuw*iW»«» He was^jettnw w«ndarfaHjr fond of tha bine eyed qraaddaogfrter, iiith bar frpdc. dvwnrii^ neechfli; tbey we»a r eftoeh mmt to him after Ifn.

" T jJ'^mlA-dia-aMwffht before I could contradict him in the way you do " A ' » »" And as to lily, she literally shook from head to foot whenever the old gentleman came near her, and had never in her life been known to make him any other answer than yes or no. So Mr. King disliked Mrs. Finch and her daughter, whilst Stella's sharp Retorts and bright independence charmed and pleased his fancy more uid more every day that he knew her: "You will write to your sister directly, Stella " he said, once more. "Yes, grandpapa, but I doubtwhether she will come besides " " Besides what I hate people who don't finish their remarks. What are you afraid of saying?" " I am sorry to have incurred your hatrerl, and I am not the least afraid ot saying any- thing. I think we neither of us ought to dine out so soon after our mother's death." "Fiddlesticks I you have got black frocks, I suppose '"ou may depend upon it Miss Cecily has been galivwiting about with your fine French friends to all sorts of enter- tainments. You will certainly go to this dinner partv it is my particular wisl^ that you should." Having relieved her conscience by utter- ing her little protest, Stella was content to let the matter rest. After all, she was only nineteen, and she had tasted but very few of the pleasures of her age, and the prospect of going out anjrwhere could not fail to be deUghtf ul to bar. She went away and obeyed her grandfa- ther's orders by writing immediately to Cecily. Now Cecily's letter had been a source of some trouble and disquietude to 'Stella. It was now nearly a month since the sisters had been parted. At first Cecily wrote, constantly and fully, long letters of delight at the novelty and enjoyment of her life. But of late her letters had become shorter and rarer, and now for a whole week she had not written at all. Her last letter had been disjointed and in- coherent. There was something in it about a handsome Englishman, whom Cecily said was worth more than all the Frenchmen she had ever met, and something about the mis- take she had made in supposing that any friend of good Madame Halevy's would ever be nice enough for her, Cecily, to marry and then, apparently, she had been called away in the middle, and had come back and had added a few blotted and blurred lines that had astonished and puzzled Stella very much indeed. "I may not be able to write for some days," ran this incomprehensible'postscript. " I can't quite explain to you why â€" some day I shall be able to tell you everything. Don't be anxious about me, I am quite well, and so happy, and I think so differently about things now to what I used to. Oh I Stella* do you remember the old days at Valency when we used to make such lovely day-dreams about what we would do when we grew up Dear old Stella, I wish I could have you here just for ten minutes, to talk to you. Good-by o " And that little outburst of affection and tenderness surprised Stella more than the whole of the rest of the letter. For Cecily was not given to spontaneous expressions of feeling. She had written every day to her sister since then but had received no answer from her. Of course, Stella knew that Cecily must be quite safe and well, or Madame Ha- levy[would have written to her neverthe- less, there was a vague uneasiness in her mind with regard to her sister, which she could not quite shake off. She wrote to her according to her grand- father's wishes, and told her that he desired her particularly to come to England by the 24th, and she patiently but somewhat anxiously waited for the next few days, hoping to receive an answer. A whole week, however, went by, and Cecily made no sign. Stella was beginning to be really fidgety about her sister. Still, she did not want to annoy her grandfather with her vague fears, which, after all, amounted to nothing of any consequence and to make any confidences to Mrs. Finch, whom she disliked and distrusted, was clearly impossible. But, nevertheless, she was so uneasy and fretted by Cecily's nnac- countable silence, that she almost made up her mind to write to Madame Halevy. One morning there came to Wrexham a letter addressed to Cecily in a foreign hand- writing, and bearing the Paris post mark. Then Stella was really frightened. She did not think it was from Madame Halevy but it was evidently from some French friend who believed Cecily to be in England. Was it possible that she was no longer in Paris And, if soâ€" where then could she be In her confusion and disturbance of mind Stella put on her hat and jacket, and walked over to Barfield, and laid bare her trouble to Lily Finch. Fortunateiy, lessons were just over, and Lily was at liberty to listen to her story. She was full of sympathetic interest and concern. " What am 7 to do f cried Stella, "I may be, of course, only making myself unhappy for nothing, and I can't Dear the idea of making a fuss if it should turn out to be only imagination. Cecily would be so vex- ed.

So there was nothing more to be done m tbat direction. ^t .t Late that evening Stella sat by herself al- »w4 iHB o rw a e over, in a httle sitting-room on the ground floor, which her grandfather had aUowad her to -nake Ji" ^wn- ff King «^ ^oj hadgonetohis study Mrs. Emch was fc^ â- Â«Â»Â»Â«. "il « the third drawing-room Stella sat by her- self and pondered over the mystery of her sister's silence. ,a She made up her mind that she would write to Madame Halevy the next day and find out f^ r certain whether her sister was with her. She felt sorry indeed that she had waited so long but she detemuned not to lose another post. All at once the fuioy came to her to look out at the weather. It had been a wet after- noon, Mtd the little Dysons had planned a drive toWome distant woods on the morrow, and as Stella had half promised to go with them, they had been dreadfully anxious that it should ba fine. Stella remembered this proposed expedition, and flung back the curtains and drew up the blind in order to look out. The window looked toward the front of the house the light from her lamp streamed out over the gravel drive. It was a beautiful starlight night, clear and frosty. Outside in the moonlight stood the dark outline of a woman's figure, wrapped in a long cloak, and a face peered closely into the room. Terrified as she was, Stella recognized her instantly, and with hurried and trembling hands she opened the window. It was Cecily who came in out of the night. CHAPTER Xm. ckcilt's akeival. " Cecily," said Stella, in a terrified whis- per, "has anything happened? VVhat is the matter For Heaven's sake tell me what it is 1" Stella was white as a sheet, and trembled in every limb Cecily, on the contrary, looked full of spirits and life, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkled she seemed to be brimming over with excitement. As she stepped into the little room, she gave one rapid glance around it, then, seeing that her sister was alone, she uttered a short laugh of contentment. "What good luck to have found you alone " she cried, holding out her cheek for her sister to kiss. " I was wondering how on earth I should effect my entrance into this veritable Dragon's Castle. I really had not the courage to ring at the front door the guardian of the fortress might have turned the dogs loose upon me. When I saw the light of your lamp, and your face looking out of the window, I could have jumped for joy." "But what has brought you like this " stammered Stella, in a bewildered way. " Why have you not written for so long why did you not let us know you were com- ing and what have you done with your luggage? How did you get from the sta- tion?" " What a lot of questions all at once " laughed Cecily, merrily. " Poor Stella you look frightened out of your wits 1 Here, take hold of me â€" pinch me I You see that I am not a ghost, don't you I really am my very own self in the flesh 1 Why, you don't look a bit glad to see me, and I thought you wanted me so much to come " "Of course I did! But for pity's sake enlighten me " " Now, please don't ask me all those be- wildering questions over again â€" I am going to answer them. I thought I would take you by surprise, you see; besides, I was not quite sure if I should come to-day or to-morrow and there was no fly at the station, so I have walked " " Walked! why it is two miles 1" and Stella involuntarily glanced down atCecily's boots. They were dainty little boots, and were scarcely soiled they certainly did not look as if they had tramped along two miles of country lanes that must be very muddy after the rain of the afternoon. "And how did you find the way " "One of thd aborigines directed me, and carried my bag â€" yon see I have a dressing bag â€" as far as the park gates." "But your box, Cecilyâ€" what has become of your box?" " Oh, Madame ^alevy was to send that on it will arrive to morrow, I have no doubt." "Madame Halevy I" repeated Stella. "Have you not, then, come from Paris Why, where have you been " For the first time Cecily seemed a little disconcerted, and her eyes lost something of the meiry assurance with which she had been giving her rather incredible explana- tions her voice shook a little too, although she evidently tried to pass it off lightly. "Oh, dear, how silly I am not to have told you before Yes, of course I have come from Paris, only I spent the last twf days with some other friends â€" Monsieur Halevy's sister, in fact â€" a charming woman, who was very kind to me. I have come from there of course." • ' Stella felt that this explanation was rath- er unsatisfactory, but she did not know how to express her uneasiness, so she said no- thing. Cecily sat down and flung off her long cloak upon the sofa, and took off her bonnet Stella could not help but remark that she was very handsomely dressedâ€" almost too much so tor a girl whose allowance was of the slenderest however, she quickly recol- lected that her sister's dress was probably a present from Halevy. CecUy was altered too there was a certain self-oonfidenoe and wo manline s s in her manner which was new to her, and which Stella aet down to her ex- periences in the great world of Parisian so- ciety. She waa looking vesy weU, but aeem- everythmg, and ohatteted,inoeaaaa^ Cecily waa taller than StdliiL and waa oer* tainly a pretty girl, althob^ h«r faatw^ M»dthegreat'r4ilaii^S tte SS! r*^ " y *!y jiMdi nam ten* ao^aindfer eOn had not Stfdla*! thseet^ai^ tm^t i • «. n f •;:## fcJ. iiro f??!? iito tha^ld about th«--^r waa there ao too, ter'%,^ Jacked ^^ " V^ Sjo dS^;i»p|ai»ing «^ arrival f' said mim,TM»Aly- • „ " Why, aay, of coo^ tliat I amved nn- **5?SX -li^^aateihrt will ihey ttiink of you not having come in by the front door?" Cecily laughed. •'Oh I you can easily say that you went to the door yourself to leok out at the weather, and found me just coming up the yoa can say that I've lost my lug- gage, and it isquite true that there was no fly at the station." ,,. However Ififtle Stella cared anont faUing in with these ingenious and plausible inven- tions, she was bound in some measure • to countenance the explanations which Cecily chose to make of the mysterious manner of her arrival at Wrexham. She was, however, a good deal disturbed and disquieted in her own mind. ,, x. •• I must get you something to eat, she said, perplexedly; and she wondered wheth- er she had better attack Mrs. Finch boldly upon the subject, or whether a private inter- view with the butler might not, under the circumstances, be a more politic proceeding. "Oh 1 I don't want anything to eat at all," cried Cecily, settling the difliculty for her. " I have had a very good dinner, and I am not in the least hungry." "A good dinner, Cecily " repeated Stel- la, in amazement. "Why, where on earth--" " Oh 1 I got some dinner in London," in- terrupted Cecily, hurriedly â€" " at the station hotel. I had an hour to wait, you know, so I thought I had better have something to eat." After some further discussion, Stella set- tled that it would be better for Cecily to share her room that night, and that she would account to her grandfather for her sister's arrival in the morning in the best way she could devise. Cecily made no objection to this, and the sisters retired to bed. The difficulty of Cecily's arrival was got over more easily than Stella anticipated. Stella sought her grandfather's presence early the next morning, and in a few words announced the fact of her sister's presence in the house. " Arrived last night, did she Why was I not told " was Mr, King's remark. " It was too late to disturb you, grandpa- pa," replied Stella, evasively. " Uinph Well, I am glad she has come at last. Send her to me." "Cecily was so tired this morning, she is remaining in bed for breakfast." "Thsnshecaa come into my study as soon as she is up. I suppose Mrs. Finch has looked after her propciiy." Stella murmured an unintelligible reply, and withdrew. She found Mrs. Finch in the dining-room, making the tea, and dashed boldly into the subject on her mind. " My sister arrived last night, Mrs. Fmch.^' "Your sister? Does Mr. King know? " Of course he knows. If you will pour out a cup of tea for her, please, I will take it to her she is not going to get up till after breakfast." Thus things, somehow, were never enquir- ed into, and Stella managed to account sat- isfactorily for the mysterious arrival of the traveller, and also for the appearance of the box, which came duly to hand at about noon the same day, by having recourse to that wise principle which tells us that, in any bad business, " least said is soonest mend- ed." Mr. King was under the impression that Mrs. Finch had known, and Mrs. Finch supposed the same of Mr. King, and neither of them, fortunately, thought the subject of sufficient importance to cross-question the servants about it. Only Stella had that un- comfortable and unsatisfied feeling about her sister, which comes to us when we know, by an unerring instinct, that we are being tricked and cheated into believing things that are not true. Mr. King was at heart delighted by Ceci- ly's arrival, and he was very impatient to see her for, after all, it was upon the youngest sister that were now centered all his hopes for the fulfilment of his scheme. But when he did see Cecily, he did take a fancy to her. She looked timid and nervous, and answer- ed his somewhat rough cross-questioning with trembling monosyllablesâ€" not at all in the dauntless manner in which Stella had happily taken his fancy. " So you've come at last, miss " were his first words to her; "and high time, too. What have you been doing with vourself pray?" "Nothing, Mr. King," said Cecily, trem- ulously. She was genuinely frightened by the gaunt old man and his scowling eyes. " What do you call me Mr. King for I'm your grandfather, I suppose yon know " "Very weU then, cill me so. And what do you mean by 'nothing ' I suppose you have had some reason for stopping at Paris with a parcel of foreigners, instead of com- ing here, like a good giri, with your sister, as you ought to have done, eh " He looked at her sharply" but Cecily made no answer, she kept her eyes cast down, and her color came and went rapid- ly. •â-  ;• She's a goose," reflected Mr. King, dis- damfuUy " not a quarter so pretty wd so clever as the oth^.
