Elsie opened it, and drew timidly biy'ck to her grand- mother's side. A stately lady stood there. She hadtjust stepped from her carriage. th {'door of which .had been held opener her by an obsequ- ious footman, in 'a snowy livery. The visitor was dressed in a costume of rich dark velvet. Dia- monds glittered in her ears,aud shone from a pendant attached to a heavy gold chain whiehs encircled her neck. She would have been beautiful with the mature comeliness of middle -age, had her face nod worn such. a. cold, haughty look It chilled. little Elsie. She did not wwaitfor an invitation to enter. Drawing; up the long court 1 train of her costly robe, she advanc- ed toward the old grandmother, be- hind whom Elsie' had taken refuge. 'Is this the home of a girl they call Meriot ?' Elsie did not give her grandmother time to answer. " She sprang forward and pointed with; an eager gesture toward a huge tx'ee in the rear of the r house. The lady looked in th,e direction indieated, saw a young girl seated in its shadow, working away industriously at some lace whose pattern stretched over a huge cushion which she had in her lap. With a start 'Of surprise at the beauty of the pieture upon which her eyes rested, and a murmured, 'I wonder no longer at Reginald's in- fatuation,' she 'left the house and walked slowly toward her. As she approached, the young law- maker rose, and stood with' down= drooped eyes awaiting her. A. happy thought was in her heart, warming it, and coloring her smooth cheeks with a w i 't• as 1t co ' rn dye of carmine, >� g y r ne, as soft as the shade of a rose• -petal, She had seen that beautiful lady before, and as she had watched her leaning back azpid the soft cushions of her luxttrioust carriage, she had thought of words whispered in her ear by an itnpas ioned voice; 'Love conque' all, my own darl- ing, and beneath its rule alt must bow -even iny lady mother.

It was Elsie's turn to be astonished Never had she heard her gentle sister speak .with such decision; and her cheeks changed so strangely from wltite tq red ! What had come over her ? . But she obeyed her, and turned and ran away feeling as though her heart would break at being so per- emptorily dismissed. The lady turned to Meriot, 'What does the ehild mean? Is it true that the handsome old woman who was sittng.by the window, and who is, I infer, the granny she spoke of—is it true that she comes of good stock?' 'I don't know touch about it, madam, for that subject is seldom mentioned ; b ,• that as it may it is none the less a fact that her husband cameof theti c ss in which I have been horn and bred, and of which none of us are. shamed; but'I think Elsie spoke arht.'

'Madam, will you tell. me this ? Would you sen marry me knowing that he would. lose all else that he values in the world?' • Struck in Spite of herself by the girl's majestic beauty—for.

God bless .lin I Then I will give up all for hint. I will never -willing- ly set eyes upon his dear face again. He shall not lose mother -love, fortune and friends for me.'' 'Then it xs a promise!' exclaimed Lady Vane, her face kindling with joy. `L have faith that you will keepit. 1 see it in your eyes.. You are anoble creature, a d n I wish you had been born my'' son's equal. But—' Meriot had grown of a -deathly white as Lady Vane spoke, and new she fell forwar as silent and inert as though beret of life. Lady Vane lr - of all for the ino- g ment but that¢ Meriot was a sister Woman, and that she was suffering. She sprang fol}ward, lifted her in her arms,: and carried her tender=. ly into the hotie and laid her upon the lounge. xThen, when with a faint gasping sigh the white eyelids uit/ ' ei ed and ttnelosed and1 q oS the great. violet eyes gaffed up into her face, she swept but of the rooin without Glaring to tri1s f herself to . speak; her woman's *art was so strangely torrefied throth all its easing of pride.
