George de Vray. 'Even if a legal flaw
were discovered, I should not avail
myself of it so long as a moral certain-
ty existed. 'And that does exist.'
The lawyers grumbled, but they were
fain to own that the marriage certifi-
cate was genuine, and that nothing
but chicanery could spoil the shite of
Mr. Timburel, who now, described him. -
self as 'Ralph de Vray, elaunant to the
earldom of Beauvray.'
Of course, George de Vray's mar-
ringe was postponed. The torn in hie
fortunes had thrown RO much busitlees
on iris hands that it was impossible he
could devote a month to honeymoonit'g
until it was all disposed of ; besides
which, he felt bound to make Mr. Moyle
the offer of releasing hie daughter from
ber engagement. At first this pro•
posnl was pools hooted equally by the
bill•disconutrr and Mics Moyle herself.
Millie, who was net quite so sensible
as she was pretty, wept a good deal at
not becoming a countess; then she
wept at the nobility of Georgo's actio:,
which everybody was praising, Iu fact,
during a week she bedewed a good
many pocket -handkerchiefs with her
weeepings over one thing and another.
But. iu the main, she was disposed to
remain faithful to George, add tock
some cedit to herself for her fortitude.

his quondam tyrant cringe before him,
gradually became a regular guest at

care never to come at times when he
was likely to meet George there.
These visits displeased Gertie Brown,

tation of Ralph de Vrlty. This young
man was handsome, however, and not
devoid of talent. It Was no secret to
Millie that lie had aspired to win her
hand at a time when soh a hope was
folly, and lie exercised over her that
fascination which saucy assurance Said
a bold 'gift of gab' ever do over :girls
who are weak and giddy. One day,
after he had been talking, to Millin for
an hour tilt' his most brilliant vein,.
some recollection of a droll sally of his
made the girl laugh after he was Lone,
and site exclaimed, 'He is decidedly
very arousing.'
'I find hint most weal isorne,' answer-
ed Gertie, dryly.
'You are not bound to sit and listen
to him, then,' said Millie, with a flash
in her eyes,
'I will withdraw, then, on another
occasion—with great plettsure,' was
Gertie's reply,
'That's it, do—we shan't miss you.
By -the -by, you never make yourself
eoiLrce wheu 11Ir. George de Vray comes
here.'
'There are not the soros reasons for
doing so. Mr, George is a thorough
gentleman.'
'And you mean that Mr. Ralph is
not ?'
'Certainly not, to my mind.'
'Ali 1 alit pray is it simply because
Mr. George has given up his property
that was not his that you oousider liim
so superior to his cousin 2 I see noth-
ing wonderful in that. If I found one
of your trinkets among my things I
shanld restore it without crowing all
over the town abouteny honesty. In-
deed, I think it rather strauge that
Lord Beauvray should have not dis-
coveied this secret until he had enjoy-
ed his pro' erty several years; it looks
much to me as if some other people
had discovered it, too. and as if he had
duly noted under Compulsion.'
Mullie, you are casting an as-
persion on one of the most noble Rots I
have ever heard of 2' exclaimed Gertie.,
quivering all over.
'Well, it's your fault,' screamed
Millie, exasperated ; 'I ant sick of

George innocently made some inquiry
about Miss Brown, she fired up itt a
jealous pet. 'You seem very auxieus
about Miss Brown. I am not obliged
to show her off in the drawing room
whenever visitors Dome. She is only a
pauper consul whom we have taken in

'It's queer charity, dear, if you talk'
of it in that way,' laughed George. 'I

'No, but it's very innonvneient,' said
