Mrs. Inchley, saw, the marquis so seldom that she was considerably! fluttered when, on the morning af- ter the ball, Me. Ingram entered the housekeeper's room and announced that the marques wished to see her. Fanny, looking fresh and bright in her ta,stefuLmorning gown of white pique, Was eating her breakfast daintily, an open novel beside her plate, and gave a sharp little nod of greeting to the steward, whom she treated with a condescending el. vility; which he had grown to ac- cept as quite natural and proper ; though he was, as a matter of fact, her aunt's superior in the house- hold. A few, moments later, a footman opened the door of the library, and ushered errs. Inchley into the pre- sence of the marquis. He was seat- ed at his writing table smoking a. cigar, ;which he laid down as sho entered, he turned ;with a bow and a, smile. " Good morning, Mrs. Inchley," he said, pleasanter "Sorry to trouble you—hat T dent do it often, do I?" " N=. indeed, my lord," assented the old lady, dropping him another cour- tesy. "I hope nothing is amiss. I was most careful with the clothes, and gave orders to the cook—e " Everything is in admirable order, thank you, Mrs. Inchley," he 'said; "and I have nothing but praise and approval for your kind services. I sent to ask you to see me, because I wanted to tell you that I am going to stay at the Castle for some time, and I wanted to know if we could ask some people down. I know I'm giving you short notice ; but you're used to Clint, I'm afraid." " Yes, my lord," said Mrs. Inchley, �luly The marquiis smiled. " How many ?-1I I may mak-e so bold, any lord.' , How many ?" repeated the mar- quis. " Oh, a dozen or so. I suppose we have rooms enough ? I don't know. I don't think I have been all over the place for years, and for- get." " Oh, there's room enough, my lord." , "'Very well. Then as to servants: If you haven't enough, engage some wore.

"The castle is to be filled with ;Visitors, Fanny! The rooms are to sl be got ready, refurnished, if need be, and —and no expense to be spar- ed! Whatever does it mean?"

He always likes things done straight off, and all in a min- ute like!" Fanny went upstairs with dutiful promptitude, and put on her neatest jacket and hat ; then she took a small velvet -covered box from the back of a drawer, and, unlocking it, took out the letter she had purloined the night before from the marquis' escritoire. But, alter reading it and pondering over it, she put it back in its place, and, carefully locking the drawer, went downstairs to her aunt. The marquis was in the best of humors that morning, the servants declared, and one footman went so far as to assert that he hear., his lordship humming a tune as he passed through the hall into the ,gardens. There he induced the gruff old gar- dener, Mr. Blacker, to select the flowers for a beautiful bouquet. This he carried himself to Major Delaino'•s cottage, and placed It in the hands of Bridget, with directions to give it to Miss Elaine. Ae the marquis was returning to the Castle grounds, he met a neatly and simply dressed young woman, who kept her eyes fixed demurely on the ground as Ile passed. He scarcely glanced at her, and went on his way, little guessing that the email and insignificant !coking girl was to exercise so vast an influence over his life and that of the woman he loved. ,Fanny Inchley walked on with her short, mincing little steps, and reached the Grange in due course. If possible her shrewd face grew a little paler, and certainly a little; G Grange and aver. as shaskednfor thebell lat Delai the When Greek meets Greek then comes the tug-of-war ; and Fanny felt that in Lardy Blanche was a foeman who would call forth all. ber (Fanny's) sharpness and astuteness. The Grange, though much smaller and less important than the Castle, was a fairly good specimen of an "-;glish gentleman's eountry seat, and Fanny was ushered into a hand- some old hall, while the footman went in search of Lady Blanche. CHAPTER, XIII. "Step this way, please," he said, when he returned. "Her ladyship will see you." Fanny followed hrvm up the stair- case in the meekest and humblest of faslilons, and the footman shovr- ed her into a small room which served for Lady 'Blanche's dressing - room and boudoir. Lnche was ning in a iaivalnndiandy achar. She wanenv loped in a morning 'wrap of palest blue satin, and a breakfast service stood on a Small table beside lior. It was evident that she had not made her public appearance that morning. On the back of another chair Fanny's quick eyes saw the dress which Lady Blanche had worn the preceding night, and which Fanny had presum- ably come to mend. Like most extremely fair women, Lady Blanche looked beet at night, but the cold blue eyes were keen enough as she raised them at Fanny's ntrance, and said with, real or el- ected la,ngour : "You have come about the dress, ass--" "Inchley, Fanny Inchley, my lady," aid Fanny, respectfully, and with er eyes fixed meekly on the car- et. Lady Blanche looked over her toulder. "You will find it on that chair," sho said. Fanny took off her gloves--sho had put on a pair of cotton ones, much too big for her, instead of the nice fitting kid sho usually wore—and taking a neat, business -like little work -case, went and got the dress, 6 NT; • l.k u` ,RAMSAY fk 501. ,F,�`7'IL184F "' • and seated herself with it by the win- ,GOOD HEALTH. dow. Lady 13,lanehei took up a paper and pretended to read it, but her cold eyes watched' the pale face opposite her with keen scrutiny. It did not take long for Lady. Blanche to learn,. through adroit questioning, that Fanny was not friendly. to Mise Blaine, and that she was opposed to any alliance between her and the marquis. , "I could be, of mach service to you," said Fanny, as she put down the dress, having announced, after half an hones labor upon it, that it was finished. As site arose and began to pull on her big cotton •gloves, she added, glancing keenly , at Lady Blanche. ''It is in my power to pre- vent the marquis marrying Miss Elaine, my lady." The assertion, uttered with such apparent eoni`idence, 'almost took Lady Blanche's breath away. ' She Laughed, an incredulous, contemptu- ous laugh. "It is too ridiculous," she exclaim- ed. "You come here, like the conspira- tor in a French play"—she was speaking more to herself than. to. Fanny— "and offer -offer to break off the match—engagement between Lord Nairne and my cousin, and— and you expect m,e to believe you possess such power. Regally, Miss Inchley--•' And she laughed again. Lady Blanche walked to the win- dow and the back to the table again, her color coming and going, her eyes hidden under their white lids. "Haw can you do this?" she de- manded. Fanny was silent a moment, tben. elle looked up with a smile. Lady Blanche bit her lip and frowned. "That is' your secret, I suppose you will say ? It is a secret you want to sell, not give away." Fanny was still silent, as if as- senting,. and Lady Blanche, with a z'estiess, inpatient movemeart, sank into the chair again. "And—and suppose I am foolish en- ough to place crelence in this extra- ordinary statement of yours', Miss Inchley, and — and accept your assistance 7" Her face flamed.

"Not money, my lady," She said, quietly and slowly. "Not money 1" echoed Lady Blanche. "No, my lady, I do not want money. I mount something more precious to mo even than money. I shall be content if your {ladyship will pro- mise to be my friend and help me as =as I am willing to help you." Lady Blanche stared at her in curi- ous uncertainty. "I do not understand," she said. "I will tell you, my lady," said Fanny, speaking slowly and with a by no means ineffective intensity. "Your ladyship may smile, but I am ambitious." Lady Blanche was now too sur- prised to smile, and fixed her eyes in cold astonishment on the sharp, shrewd face. "You aro ambitious?" she repeated vacantly. "You want to bo--" "Different from what I am," said Fanny, with the first sign or a flush on her face. "At present I am just nobody. Your ladyship, who is so clever, mistook me for a dressmaker, you remember. I am just the niece of the housekeeper at the Castle, but some day I may rise above that position, and when I do, and not till ,thea„ I shall ask your Ladyship to help me. I shall want to be presented at court, my lady," she said quietly. "I shall ask your ladyship to recognize me as a lady, and help me to become one." "And that is all you want 7" said Lady Blanche. "It is a great deal to me," said Fanny, "As I have said, I am am- bitious, and I do not mean to re- main as Ian:. 1—I may marry some day, and then--" "You will marry a gentleman,?" said Lady Blanche. Fanny raised her head. "A gentleman, or no one," she said, Lady Blanche leaned her head on her hand, and looked at the small, humbly -dressed figure and the plain, but acutely intelligent face far a moment in silence, • She had read of such cases as this, of women of the lower class, as Lady Blanche would have put it, being devoured by an ambition to climb the social ladder, and de- termined to do so at all costs; but she haat, never met with one until now, and the situation interested and amused her.

She turned to the door and had touched the handle, when Lady Blanche, with a face changing from red to white, put out her hand with a gesture half of en- treaty, half of command. "Stop!" she said, "I—I cannot decide whether e ou are deceiving me or not, but I will trust you." "You must," saki Fanny, quietly. "nate I will trust you," said Lady :Tanabe, pale now- to the lips. A queer smile played about the thin lips of the little adventuress for a moment, then with admirable gravity she dropped a courtesy. "Thank you, my lady," she said. "You will have no cause to regret having done so. Your cousin, Miss Elaine, will never be the Mar- chioness of Nairne," and before Lady Blanche could speak again, Fanny opened the door and left the room, .leaving the haughty beauty still half doubting, not a little resentful, but wholly con- quered. • .CHAPTER 1, A week has passed since Fanny Came to terms with Lady Blanche, and during that time, with the aid of painters and upholsterers, great changes have been made in the Cas• tle. Lady Scott has arrived some days since, and has taken her position as hostess with that graceful facility which seems the birthright of an English lady. She is a tall, slight- ly -built woman, with iron gray hair and calm placid lips. Her voice is low and deliberate, and there are indi- cations of her relationship to the marquis in the clean-cut foaturee and straight dark eyebrows. Of the marquis she stands a lit- tle in awe, and though curiosity would ander the circumstances be both natural and pardonable, she has refaainecl from questioning him as to his reasons for his sudden hospital- ity. For years past the marquis bas made her a liberal allowance, and Lady Scott has come at his birl- iiing, prepared to play the part of hostess for a week, a month, a year, if it so pirase him. fro be Continued.)

She went 'upstairs hurriedly with tears in her eyes and gladness in her heart o'rer the .beauty and fitness• of it all. Beatrice in • her youth and bridal sweetness, and the fragrance and flowers everywhere with the plentitude of the •springtide. And only a. few short months ago, and hope and promise hied been her own. They had planned it together, Rex and she, thee° first happy days when t h@ira 1 Pe had ad been so 'wonderful in its new born strangeness. The wed- ding was to bo just after Easter, when all was white lilies and open- ing buds. It wens tyre only true time of the year for .bridals, Rex had said, when the bride herself was young and fair es one of the golden -hearted lilies. And it had ended even before the storms of February had passed. She had almost forgotten the cause, it had been so trivial. A word dropped in jest of an old sweetheart whom he had met by chance at a reception. He thad said laughingly that she was prettier than ever, and Eleanor had been tired and petulant, and had answered in a few sharp words, re- gretted as soon as spoken. She had just time to /catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror of the (bridesmaids' dressing room. Beatrice was dark, and had chosen her (attendants for their fairness. They were dressed in, white and green, and carried great shower bou- quets df lilies of the valley, her fav- orite flower. The wedding party formed in the library. Eleanor .was first brides- maid on the right. ,She held her flowers closely, her heart beating fast as the soft, slow strains of the wedding march sounded. Beatrice"s little °aurins, Nannie and Bess, were leading the way with broad white satin ribbons to form an aisle through the .parlors. To the first bridesmaid, as she followed them dreamily through a maze of blossoms and bright faces, it almost seemed as if it were all for her and Rex, and suddenly, as they reached the bower of lilies and palms in the south bay window, she glanced up and met his gaze as he stood opposite her beside the bridegroom. "How white you are, Nell 1" genie - one whispered, as she moved to her place. "It Is the odor of lilies," she an- swered, and wondered if anyone saw the tears in her eyes. It was not fair. Beatrice should have told her he would be there. She wondered if he, too, was think- ing of what might have been. Against ber will she looked at him again. Beatrice was speaking, her voice low and sweet and tremulous. "For better, for worse ; for richer, for poorer ; in sickness and in health, until death do us part." The glorious, sacred words thril- led leer with the fullness of their meaning. This was the vow she would have taken for love of him. Her love had been strong enough then. Ars she ,gazed at him, she knew it wads as strong as new. f "Till death do es part." And she had thrown aside her troth as care- lessly as the lilies would be cast aside when their color and fragrance were gone. .,... :a It was over before she realized it. She kissed Beatrice, standiu,g, tali, and /slender, and proud -eyed, in her white satin, beside her husband, and went out into the library away from the crush of people, and the la.ughtem and gaiety. It was quiet in the cool, deserted room. There would be an interval of a few minutes be- fore the reception, and she hoped she would not be missed. A divan stood in ono corner, halt concealed by a tall, Pe'r'sian screen, and she sought lte shelter instinctively. Ile had remembered. She knew that he had by the look in his eyes, but there had been zea tenderness or regret there, merely, grave, disinter- ested recognition. She closed her eyes ads if to keep back the tears that filled them, and !aid her head on the pile of sofa: cushions back of her. The shower bouquet fell on the a •ug at her feet. She did not care. It all seemed a mockery of their love and faith and broken troth—the gladnese of an- othor's bridal, and the two meeting AO strangers. Someone entered the room, hesi- tated, axed walked deliberately over to the screened divan. She knew his step before he stood beside her. "Mrs. Langdon sent 211 to find you," he said. "She wants you." How; queer it was to hear Beatrice called Mris. Langdon, She almost had,, to think a, moment to know winenie he meant.
