All I know is, he believed in Lady Treleaven long after Tiled eeased to believe in her, I expect you've heard the story from your papa, Miss Treton -and he was sure to be prejudiced in his view of the matter, because Mr. Sheppard h.ita been his friend long before he knew Sir Al- bany," I was forced to own that this might not unnatinally be true for Lady TFG- leaven's seducer had been my father's friend from boyhood; and at Mr. Shep- pard's request it was that Sir .Alboaty had given him the living of Treleaven. After the catastrophe Mr. Sheppard wrote to my father, not indeed attempt- ing to excuse himself, but openly jeal- ousy -at first quite causeless -of Sir Albany. The fact that Mr. Sheppard hadebeen Sir Albany's chosen friend gave such extraordinary blackness, upon any other supposition, to his guilt that my father, biased perhaps by sonie stand- ing regardfor the wrongdoer, adopted this as the true view of the case, and had even endeavored to mitigate Sir Albany's first desperate bitterness against his false friend and faithless wife by suggesting that he himself haa been in part the cause of the domestic ruin that had overtaken him. Sir Al - 'sally had hotly resented this sugges- tion at the time, but afterwards, when broken down by the death of his only child, which followed in a few months, tad admitted to my father that he might have been in part to blame. (Continned) "I hope you may find it so," he said, standing on the hearth -rug betwoen cne and Mrs. Spence, and at the same time directing ruy attention by a glance to- wards her • !ening countenance, which certainly did not present its most fa- vorable aspect iu opened -mouthed. re- pose.

He bears his pain a great deal better than I could bear it. After a while he began asking me about the Proserpine as if it wao a living creature he had in - lured. I could not give him much comfort about her, but I tallied to him of another exquisite werk I saw by the same artist inRome, and he took such an :interest in it that he seemed to forget all about his pain, aud by-and- by he fell asleep, as you see. What an artist lie'd have made!" "There's no harm in hopjng," re- plied Sir Albany. Some people have a wonderful power of administering comfort, 1 had always thought of Sir Albany as a man whom a great trouble had made timid and re- pellent, but my present experience was upsetting all niy preconceived ideas. I was strangely cheered, althotegh. ,hea did not cliegalnalta we 'might' hope Icir actually probable. But as my sense of irremediable calamity was lightened, lesser considerations began to have a weight which I had hitherto been inca- pable of feeling. The mention of the Proserpine, though made with no such intention, aroused. my dormant con- sciousness to the loss which poor Bertie's accident had involved upon Sir Albany. I stumblingly endeavored to express my regret. "Oh, never mind the statue," he re- plied, quickly. "It won't do to lament very much over it, when a poor little body like -that has come to such terrible grief. You see beautyis a alangerous thing, Miss Treton, animate or inirnate.

He seemed to have forgotten the subjel under discussion, and sit with his eyes fixed upon the window, and a hard and yet stormy look on his face which coulcl scarcely be caused by that view of the peacetul winter landscape he was gazing at.

"I Mu a bad showman to -day, Ber- tie, I am afraid. Shall I tell you obout these things now or another time?"
