prebend all the consequences that It
involved ; to extract all the sup-

to fortify her pride by the conviction
that it had been penned with the
hope of making her suffer in return
for the suffering she had entailed
upon him -of giving him back Indif-

scorn, and slight for slight. And it
was this self-deception that fur

CHAPTER XLI.
When Lady Ethel rose frons her
b:.yl upon the following morning, she
was quite convinced that she had
b much ill-treated by her hew-
baudl, and resolved to let the world
gree his absence cad no power to af-
fect her happiness; to which intent,
it bring the day on which she usually

oe nt-looting as ever, ready to re-
ceire the first visit.** wbusltduld ar-
rive.
The first was Lady ('levedoo, who,
road -hoot from the receipt of Colonel
Bainbridge's letter, appeared full
thirty minute" before the hour of re-
ception.

"What scandal ?" demanded Lady
Ethel
"My deer, you know wtiatl I mean

bridge running away from you in this
manner before you 'have been mar-
ries) four months. What on earth is
the reason of it ?"
"1 understood Colonel Bainbridge to
spy that he had informed you, Ger-
trude."
"He wrote me a few linen to nay he
was ordered at once up in foreign ser-
vice, but I wont to know why he
went. He ties money enough to buy

Why .lid he not well ,ant of the army

Itatubrldgo would not have dared to

ner."
Lady Ethel flashed.
"Dared, Gertrude! what daring is
there in the matter? One world
imagine he had gone without con-
senting me."
"Yon Mould not have let hint go;
you should have persuaded him to

Lady Ethel.

"How rztremely obliged I am to

tude you show for my good Dame'!
replied Lady Ethel, ear astieally.
"To be excluded from your reunions
will be a terrible trial to me ; but
t will try to bear it with all the for-
titude of which I am mistress, soon-
er than car the slightest slur upon
your hitherto spotless character."
"Ah, you may laugh I" exclaimed
the countess, who_bwl risen to her
feet ; "but what I tell you is the
truth. You have chosen to make a
thorough meealliance-to lower yoer-
seif to the level of a tradesman'■
daughter -hi -law -and it behooves you
in consequence. to be mere particu-
lar than others what `o1 do or say,
beet the world shoold think that you
have lost the power ed rising above
your surroundings."
At this bitter taunt Lady Ethel,
who had risen to 'her feet also, turn-
ed deadly pale. She could cast a
sneer herself at the family of tier
adoption, but it was not in human
nature to take It gnietly from stran-
ger lips, and those the lips of her
stepmother. She flew at Lady Cleve-
don

did all in her power to hasten its ful-
filment ? Who urged me on to it,
by goad and taunt ? who tried to take
my lover from me. There are no se-
crets between us, Lady Clevedon,
though we neat' not have had the
opportunity to give them vent."
"Tried? What are you talking

"I am talking of you and the Mar-
quis de Lacarras, who will never be

the trouble you have taken to en-
snare him r

invest toward, the door.
"i hove no whet that you should
stay at all. There has been war be-
tween us long enough. Let it be open
from this time henoefrward,"
"i believe that you nee maul !" re-
plied her stepmother, too angry to

And, with a sweeping oourte.y,
Lady Ethel Bainbridge bowed her In-
dignant stepmother out of the room.

her half an hoer afterward sipping
cho ecente with her numerous clsttors,
