;second he sees his Aneeliaa'as she pre-
; eents herself to a strange eye. Miss
Wilson is only thirty-one, but upon her
has already oome that set solid look of
thin middle age, which atiertaltes some Wo -
Men before they are well over the bor-
ders of youth, and will& other women
menage to stave off till they are within
near hail of forte'. Yes; the mistake is
quite a natural one. Most people would
suppose that the showy Cecilia, still
fairly youthful, and with se, many n-
ylons and well -produced °points," must
bo his choice; and yet, as I have said,
the idea that anyone should credit hcill
with her earnership is intolerable to
him.
"Ilere she isi" he cries precipitately.
"The one to the right side, the other is
her sister; may I—may I present them
to you?"
Perhaps it is his irritated fancy that
dictates the idea, but it seems to him as
if he detected a sort of surprise in Mrs.
Le Merchant's face, when he effects the
. introduction he has proposed, and to.
which she accedes courteously, after a
pause Of hesitation about.as long aa -had
followed his inquiry of Elizabeth es, to
their addre.ss.
Five minutes later they have all saun-
tered out again on the terrace, and Bur-
goyne is again leaning on the nyall; but
tins dme, he has no fear of hearing
of Bayswater, for it is Elizabeth who is
beside him. Since last he looked at it
, half an hour•ago a sort Of glorification
has passed over the divine view. Down
where the river twists through the
plain country, there is a light dainty
mist, but the mountains have put on
their fullest glory. They are not green,
or ,brown, or purple, or blue; but clad
in that ineffable raiment woven by...the

by one small grey hand outspread on
