"Yes, and she'll bo the richest heiress in the county or thereabouts" assented the squire. "Poor girl, what a change it is for her!" ,"I wish there had been some ladies! c here to -night," said the rector, "its would have been easier and pleas- b anter for her." "What was the earl's idea in hay- d ing us here to -night?" asked the 8 squire, pumng at Isis cigar with a puzzled frown. I "Who can say? To try her—to see f how sho would carry herself." "Ah, and how well she did It!" ex- t Manned the rector, "Didn't you 111 think so, Mr. Berton?" Guildford Berton was leaning on the coping of the terrace, smoking slowly and thoughtfully and taking no part in the conversation; he look- ed up and inclined his head. "Remarkably so," he said, in an utterly inexpressive voice. "I think we had better go in," said Lord Ferndale. "It must 10 lonely for Lady Norah," and they flung their cigars away and re-enter- ed the dining room, Lady Norah! She had not even yet got used to the title, which sounded so strangely in her ears that when it was spoken sho half looked round to see who was addressed by it. Lady Novell! 81e was Norah Wore 110 longer, but an earl's daughter, and she had come "home" to this vast place with its palatial rooms and army of servants, Lonelyl No Arab in the center of the desert ever felt lonelier than did Norah at that moment, and the de- sire for 0110 soul upon whom she could lean, to whom she could pour out her heart, was so intense that hor heart actually ached with it. Then the door opened and the gen- tlemen filed in. Lord Ferndale wont up to her at once, thinking, as he spoke to her and looked down at her, that of all co ' the beautiful things in the room she lu was the most beautiful; and he matte- , ed, with admiration, how protnptly sll she 111(11 takeu her place at the tea 1t table, Lust as if she had boost emcee- 112 touted to it for ,years. "We have been away so long that we namely -deserve any tea, Lady P Norah," ho said, with bis kindest sn smile. Iva "I am afraid it will bo rather cold, she said.

"11, ineaat the cottage--" 10 "You would like some fresh tea, said tho earl naively. "Will you at ring, Guildford, ple000?" g1'1 "I think it is hot enough," said Norah. "It rests with you," ho said, in his courtliest fashion. She poured out the tea, and Guild- ford Berton came and stood beside tier and silently took the cups and handed therm round, bis dark eyes downcast and guarded, but ouco "You make me quite afraid of yo Lady Norah!" he said, "Aro you hought reader?" ""Then you don't like him!" s said, with a smile. "Not—very much," he admitto "It's only fair to say that I kno nothing against hirn, nothing what - car; and I believe him to bo most lever.

"Yes," assented Lord Ferndale, "It would appear so. 'At any rate, be has been living outside the park for tho last two years and does nothing, apparently, but help your father with the estate, and he aloes that free, gratis, for nothing," he adder with a laugh.

Guildford Berton was the last to m° up, and he took her hand with st the two words, "Good -night." Norah thought it leas fancy, that c was tired and over -strained, MR seemed to her that his long, thin gers struck a chill to her, and see egun to think that she understood ord Ferndale's vague dislike or 811a - cion of tho young man who was the n of her father's stoward and who s "so clever." 1'Ite earl, with the courtesy for 1iCh ho was famous, accompanied s guests to the hall and bowed em farewell; then Norah heard him urning and her heart beat fast.
