In spite of the fart that it was Octo- ber the day was warm. A hot sun, so brilliant as to be a base deceiver, a usurper of June's rights, was (boding the drawing -room at Vereker Court. Upon one of the tables n mass of au- tumn flowers lay scattered. Mirs. Ve- reker had ordered them to be sent in here to her, and nnw stood oveetthein arranging theta in their several glosses. Her good spirits seemed suited to the day. Of late, indeed, she had been somewhat happier, somewhat more at peace with her life. Ever since that last abominable display of his temper in the library, Vereker, as 1 have said. had been especial!• careful to keep out el his wife's way, and for the past two or three days had been positively civil. This change puzzled her perhaps, but i1 also rested her, and gave her tired heart a season of repose, long unknown to it. Yet still when she heard his step in the hall, and his touch upon the handle of the door, the old startled look sprang into her face, and her hands grew cold. She could not conquer the feeling of re- pugnnnc<•and disgust that filled her whenever he drew near. Ile came in now, looking bloated, hideout,. . His huge form seemed to short all his su19'olinditigs. He went over to the h<arlhrug. and poked the fire with his tremulous bend, and then stood facing- the long. beautiful room, wili his back against the chunney- piece. "\\'ell, what sort of an evening had you yesterday?" he said at last, seeing his %vile was not disposed to speak to Mw. "Did the old cat show' her claws as usual? \Vito was there? St John?" "Mr. S'.

"Dye think so. 1 don't. i expect I'm the last lte'cl tell. Not but what 1 think there's good in St. Jelin." with a sud- den chane of tone. "Ile seetus a friendly sort.

She bent rather more assidiously over her flowers. and bit her lips behind the huge bunch of there she held to bring Lack the color that had suddenly ebbed. "Yes"" she said.
