"I am sorry," says Tremain, un-
truthfully, and straightway banishes
the Countess and her headache from
his thoughts. He is in radiant spirits,
and looks it., Lord George, he dis-
covers presently, is out of town; so
the morning is all his own. Gwen-

Then "a change comes o'er the spirit
of his dream." The door opens and a
footman advances noisely; he bears
wdth him a marvel of a bouquet, cam-
posed of palest blossoms only, and
presents it to Lady Gwendoline.
"With Lord George Millefleurs's
compliments," he rays solemnly and
departs.
Sir Hilary lapses into eloquent
silence; all his radiancy has deserted

Lady Gwendoline has gone into rap-
tures over her snowy bouquet,
"How delicious!" she says, with a
pleased smile. "I do so love white
flowers! It was quite too good of
Lord George to remember that; but he
is very thoughtful, And how sweet
they are, how fresh, like a little breath
straight from the country! Are they
not so? See-" Stooping forward,
she holds the obnoxious bouquet with
a charming grace right under his nose.'
"Very," returns he; in a freezing
tone, recoiling a little.
"Don't you like flowers?" -with
innocent surprise.
"Some flowers," -in a marked tone.
"Anything the matter with you, Sir'
Hilary?" demands she, with touching
concern. "Do you know you really do
look very badly? Of late I have
often noticed how fitful your spirits
are at times. A minute ago you
seemed quite cheerful, and now--- Is
it toothache? neuralgia? Do tell me
if I can help you in any way?"
"You can," exclaims he, rising. "if
