The Wedding Eve;
C1-1..e.PTER XI.---(Continaed).
Mrs. Morland 1 had found very like
her portfait, and looking not a day old-
er. .A. little overplump, a little over-
dressed, but sweet -voiced, agreeable, and
good-natured of aspect. I had left Lil-
ith with her, confident that they would
soon be friends, and had returned to
town a Mae pained and regretful, but
convinced that I had done the best that
lay in me for the child 1 loved. Up to
the very moment of parting she had
been auiet and sorrowful and more or
less indifferent in manner, which was
the nearest approach to sulkiness which
elle could compass; but as I was leaving
Morland House, she darted into the ,hall
after me, and, clinging to me, besought
me in a passion of tears to lake her
back with me and not leave her among
strangers.
"I hate school, 1 bate learning, I hate
all these strange women!" she had sob-
bed. "1 don't want to be a lady, or anyr
thing but Just your servant; and I am
sure you can't care for that Lady Madge
as you wotild for me!" -
Mrs, Morland, sailing into the hall in
Lilith's rear, had taken her from me,
and endeavored to assist me in pacify-
ing her, while she listened very sym-
pathetically to my explanation that,
since het father'e death, I had been Lil-
ith's only friend.
But when, on my return to town, I
wrote to Mrs. Morland,begging her to
let me know whether her new charge
was becoming reconciled to her changed
surrounding's, that lady hastened to as-
sure me that Lilith was making friends
with every one, and was already both
,eontented and popular.
"And you must pardon me for saying,
dear Mr, Hervey," Mrs. Morland con-
tinued, "but the cheld's infatuation for
you—which, under the circumstances of
your exceptional generosity and kind-
ness, is not only natural, but creditable
—will no doubt die a natural death, if,
for the space of six months or so, she
does not see you and does not too often
hear from you. I have had very young
girls .of the same impressionable tem-
perament under my care before, and 1..
have invariably found that :regular
hours of study, plentye,of open-air exer-
cise, a well -occupied mind, and the con-
stant, cheerful companionship of mem-
bers of ,their own sex, have in a few'
months'. time sufficed to dissipate any
silly fancies of being in love, which may
have been previously formed in their
untutored brains."
This was a pretty strong hint to keep
out of the way of .Morland 1-lousabut
it was one Which 1 did not need, having
already determined, for my own seta!,
as well as Lilith's, to giVe Clifton
'wide berth for at least a year. Mean-
time, as two hundred a year made a hole
in a thousand, it behooved me to work
hard, the more so as I Was resolved up-
on aectimulating .a marriage portion, so
that my pretty Lilith, on leaving school,
should not find herself penniless upon
the world.
To speak the plain truth, I had consid-
ered Mrs. Morland's request for a hun-
dred and seventy-five pounds a Year ra-
ther unneeessarily high at first; but
that lady was as plausible as she was
plump, and she had so minutely explain-
ed to me the items of expenditure, from
the services of the French, the German,
the Lathe, the drawing, the music, the
fencing, and the dancing and 'deportment
masters, to such items as tennis -shoes
and rackets, swimming.costumes, dumb -

toilets as befitted a gentlewoman," that
I was constrained to admit the profit
must be small, espeeially as there -were
no holidays to mitigate the expenditure,
and to supplement the amount with the
sum of twenty-five pounds a year of pri-
vate pocket money for my little protege.
Not for very much longer could I deny
myself the pleasure of seeing her. I
told myself- this as /.smoked in the
moonlight that night at Cowes. In Just
seven months Madge and I were to be
married. The church, the bridesmaids,
the material for the bride's gown, all
these things were Already chosen.
Madge's sympathy with and interest in
my work were wonderful; but only on
that one point did we seem to touch, I
was vexed, without caring sufficiently
to be Jealous, when she flirted to excess,
as she invariably did under my eyes.
Her bitter speeches hurt me, her powder
and perfumes, her pinched -in waist,
elaborate toilets, and cynical talk, -all
Jarred upon me. It was clear. to me that
she cared for me very little, ifaat all.
Her transient gleams of tenderness to-
ward me grew less and less frequent,
her flirtations with other .men More
marked every clay. And, yet paragraphs
were constantly' appearing in the papers
anent our forthcoming marriage in the
spring; and,. should nothing intervene
to prevent it, on the second of March,
in the following year, Madge Lorimer
and I should become man and wife.
Before that date, I had resolved that
She should know all about Lilith, as was
only right, and her clever brain might
solve the enigma of Lilith's future. But
up to now the child's name had never
once passed my lips in speaking to my
fiance; even if she were induced to be-
lieve the real facts of the case she
would sneer, and I could not tolerate
her sneers at the expense of LilithSax-
on.
Suddenly, as 1 lay on a deck-enair,
pondering over these things, I heard
the yacht hailed from the shore.
"Lady Margaret, ahoy!"
The call was answered, and a little
later the soft splash of oars and the
sound of voices close under the boat -
side told of an arrival at the yacht.
A moment later I heard Madge's voice
and my uncle's, and started up fronemy
chair to greet them. •
Lord Carehester was at this time
&emit fifty-five years of age, and looked
older. A. slight, dignitled, quiet -manner' -
ed rnan, of rather loss than medium
height, worn, handsome face, and silver-
gray hair and moustache, year' by year
he seemed to become more bent, -
more thin, and More silent. Only
wheri he was 'alone with Madge and me
did he unbend la show the gentle, kindly
humor that underlay his ordinary re-
serve. 0 Between him and his step-
daughter, there existed a deep and genu-
ine affection and sympathy. Both Were,
as I was secretly convinced, in awe of
the little old "Dietniond Queen," Madge's
needier, who possessed to perfeotion the
art of making herself disagreeable and
everyone about her uncomfortable.

orhitted to remind her second husband

It cannot be denied that Uncle Car -
cheater, whose- princely generosity and
-art-loving disposition. had led him to
more than live up to his moderate for-
tune, had married Madge's xnother,
Lord Sandiing's widow, chiefly on ac-
count of her wealth A lady with an in-
come of something under two thousand

the forties, with a position to keep up

married for money, he bad most cer-
tainly been made to regret it, and, but
for the love he bore his stepdaughter,
it is probable that 'the same roof would
very seldom have sheltered at one and
the same time my uncle and the "Dia-
mond Queen." •
On this particular night, Madge' and
he had returned from dining with
friends at Cowes,, and had renounced
the ball they had intended going to, on
account of iny uncle's health. Darly
that evening he had complained of
fatigue, and Madge, who was all that
an affectionate daughter could be in
her care of hirn, insisted on coming
back to the yaohe at ten o'clock.
"You must be good and lie down," she
said to him. now, taking his arm and,
drawing hirn toward. the saloon door.
"And you ought to be taking your heart -
tonic all this time. If you neglect my
instructions, sir, in this disobedient
way, shall I tell you *what I shall do-?"
"What then?"
She frowned and shook her finger,
threateningly. ghen she said, in an awe-
inspiring whisper:
"'I shall telegraph for mama."
We both burst out laughing, but my
uncle petitioned for a cigar on deck be-
fore he turned in, and Madge Imetened
to fill a deck-ohair with cushions, and
to bring him. a little table,with his
cigar -box and ash -tray upon, it.
"And now I'll mix you a delicious
iced whisky -and -soda, with a slice of
lemon, Just as you like it," she said, and
rustled off, th. search of the materials,
In her trained silk evening gown.
Lord. Carehester looked after her af-
fectionately.
"elt is astonishing that a girl like
that should be—" he began, half -mus-
ingly, thinking aloud, and then checked
himself, arid flushed slightly.
"Her mother's daughter—I know what
you mean," I said quietly. "But you
must reniember`you only see the sweet-
eSt side 'of her. Madge is ea splendid
girl, but she can make herself very dis-
agreeable if she, likes."
"I suppose you are too young, or too
much absorbed in your work, really to
understand or appreciate her," he said,
sighing, "This evening, for instance,
she was the life and soul• of the clinner-
party; only 1 knew What a bitter disap-
pointment your absence was to her*"
"My absence? She hardly asked me
to"Viintlieticy because etth eannot beat malt -

the contrary, en my soul, I should think
nothing could blind you to her fascin-
ations but some entortunate attachment
for another wornan."
He looked at me curiously as he
spoke, and then pasteed, as though to
invite my confidence. But I smoked on

She svelte bitterlY, aadathere was
'emend of tears in her esaice. Before I
could respond, she went on again.

drew my chair closer to hers,, and
took her sort, strong bands in mine.
"Why, Madge," I said, "you are not
in the least yourself to -night. You are
quite soft' and sentimental. I hope,
dear, 1 shall. be devoted to you and to
my work together. I certainly eould
never have accomplished even what 1
have without your help and encourage-
ment. This yacht, with the chance it
gave me of making those Mediterranean
studies, has been invaluable to me, and
your belief In me has been still more."
"Then I have really been of some'
use?"
"Of some use? My dearest Madge,
you have been invaluable to me,"
She leaned toward .me so that her
shoulder touched ening, and looked up
in my eyes in a evisttul, eager waY
quite new to her.
"I am so glad to hear you say that,"
she enuernured; "tor during the past
years, on the few' occasions when I have
fsaeenncieydo_u between your sea. trips, I have
"What?" •
"Fancied that something more tban

between us, and made you more coldly

"How could you think such aethipg?"
I asked, the more warmly 58 mere: con-
scienee secretly confirmed her accusa-
tion. "You must indeed suppose me un-
feeling and ungrataftil----'
But at that unlucky word she started
IAD. all sottnese gone from her face and
manner, and, with a little hard laugh,
moved away from me.
"Ungrateful," she repeated. "Oh.. no,
the idea never occurred -to ma. 1 had not
expected. gratitude. It is not a qualitY
-usually offered to me. T. have admira-
tion, affection, even love—or what is
called love—offered me every day by
more impressionable and leas art -loving
persons than yourself, Adrian. No
doubt it is for xny money. What else
should they see in me? So you would
say, at least, as I am not your style.
But gratitude is .an offering I don't ex-
pect even from so well regulated a per-
son as you!"
And .with that she swept scornfully
away,, and, a good deal. to my surprtse,
my.uncle Carohester opened his eyes,
sat up in his chair, stretched himself,
and rose, taking efaclge'a wrap carefully
on his arm.
"I must say, Adrian," he observed, as
he passed me, "that you're a bad band
at making love. .Also, you doh't in the
least understand your Cousin Madge."
CHAPTER XIII.
A month later 1 took the train for
Bristol, resolved upon paying a, surprise
visit to the Morland House establish-
ment for "finishing" young ladies of
neglected education.
In six months I should be married to
Madge,, and I knew her well enough to
be quite sure she would brook no rival,
and that, however fanciful and platonic
my .attachment- to Lilith might be, it
must be banished to the limbo of a.
bachelor's dead loves, never to be re-
suscitated. After our wedding it had
been settled that we should go for three
months' cruise in northern fiords, so
that our return to London would precede
by only a few weeks the termination of
Lilith's two years at Morland House.
After that date the girl's future would
be my wife's care and not mine, as
knew well; for, although 1 had so far
never given Madge the slightest cause
for Jealousy, I was pretty certain that
she could be transferred into a veritable
Cynisea if' confronted with a rival.

The word in connection with Madge
aroused in me no enthusiasm, and for
more than a year something like a dull
regret. On every hand I received con-
gratulations. ...A. beauty, an heiress, a
brilliantefascinating, and gifted woman,
the daughter of an earl, and the well -
beloved adopted child of the head of my
house—the thought of winning such a
bride should have made my heart leap
in anticipative Joy; yet it seemed to be
irresponsive as lead within me. As
Madge had said herself, with bitter
truth, she was not "my style." I ad- •
mired her, likedher, esteemed her; but
I cherished deep in my mind. the me-
mory of my little marsh fairy's kisses,
and valued them a thousand times more
highly than all Lady Madge's generosity
and discriminating encouragement.
