* * * *
Lovelace called nearly every day
at Wyncham House, but was always
refused admittance, as Lady Lavinia
deemed it prudent not to see him.,
There came a "day, however, .when. he
would not be gainsaid, and was ush-
ered into her drawing -room. He kiss-
ed her hands lingeringly, a. holding
them for a long while in his.
"Lavinia! Cruel fair' one!"
She drew her hands away, not too
well pleased at his intrusion.
"How silly, Harold! I cannot.iiave
you tease me every day!"
She allowed him to sit by her on
the window seat, and he again pos
sessed himself of her hands. Did she
love him? Sha hoped he was not go-
ing to be foolish. Of course not. He
did not believe her, and started to
plead his suit, imploring her to come
a 'way. with him. In vain Lady Lav-
inia begged him to be quiet; shehad
stirred up a blaze and it threatened
toconsume her. He was so insist-
ent that, expecting Richard at any
moment, • and `terrified lest there
should' be a disturbance, she promis-
ed to give him an answer next eve-
. ning, at the theatre.: She managed
to be rid of him in this way, and,
with a relieved sigh, watched him
walk ,down the square. She was very
fond -of dear Harry but really, he
a as dreadfully tiresome at times. •
She brought her tiny mirror out
from her pocket and surveyed her re-
flection critically, giving a tweak to
one"curl, and smoothing another back.
She was afraid she was looking ra-
ther old this evening, and hoped that
•-Richard would not think so. She
glanced up at the clock, wondering
where he was; surely he should be
in by now? Then she arranged . a
chair invitingly, pushed a stool up to
it and sat down opposite. With, a
sigh, she reflected that it was an 'en-
tirely'new departure for her to strive
to please and captivate her Husband,
add .She fell a -thinking of how ° he
must' have waited on her in the old
days, waiting as she was waiting now
-hoping for hey arrival. Lady Lav
inia "has beginning to realize- that
perhaps Dick's life had not been all
roses' with her as wife.
The doer'ope.ned and Richard came
into the room. 17eep lines were be-
tween • his brows, but his mouth 'was
for once set firmly. He looked son=
brely down at her, thinklifg"how very
beautiful she was. •
Lady Lavinia smiled andnodded
towards the chair she had prepared.
"Sit down, Dicky! I am so 'glad,
you have come! I was monstrous
dull and lonely, I assure you!"
"Were you?" he said, fidgeting with
her, Scissors. "No, I will not sit
down. I have something to say to
you, Lavinia. Something to tell you."
"Oh, have you?" she asked. "Some-
thing nice, Dicky?"
"I fear you will hardly think so. 1
am about to make an end."
"Oh -oh, are you? Of what?".
"01 this -this deceitful life I am
going to confess the whole truth."
"Rich-ard!"
.He let fall the scissors and paced
restlessly away down the room.
"I -I tell you, .Lavinia) I cannot en-
dure it I cannot! • I cannot! The
thought of what John may be beam
i'n is driving me crazy! I ilivat
sf►eak!''
"You-ydn can't!" she gaped. "Af.

sake- !"' The color ebbed and linVok
ed lYt her cheeks.
',`Hey? What's that ydu say?" •
"Nought. When You bave quite

would consent to tell m:e your er-
rand?"
"Oh, aye! but twenty shillings the

spread the -single sheet on the deak
before him. •He read it threugh verY
deliberately, turned it over, as. if In
search of more, re -read it, folded it,
and dropped, it into the waste -Pa -per
basket at his side. He then picked
up his quill and dipped it in the ink
again.
"What think you?" demanded An-
drew, impatiently.
His Grace wrote traliquilly on . to
the end of the line.
"What think I of what?"
•"Why, the letter, of course! What
ails the man? 'Something of great
import to impart to US,' forsooth!

Now surely he would saysomethilig•

With an imrfiense, effort, Richni'd
controlled himself. -
"1 am -sorry -Lavinia," he said in
a queer, constrained voice.
It was of no avail. She had kiJad
his love, and he was longing to be
rid of her. She walked to the door,
and turned.
"I see that yoU do not love me,"
she -said, with deadly ealmneSs. "I
ntderstand perfectly." Then, as she
wrenched the handle around: "I hate
you!" she cried, and fled, her silken
skirts rustling furiously down tilt
corridor. A door slammed in flie. dis-
tance, and there was silence.
Carstarei stood very still, staring
dtArn at her crumpled broidery. Pre-
sently he stooped to pick it up, and
her violet 'scent was wafted up to
him. 'He carried it to his lips, pas -
if 'Lavinia had been aiale to see

his wrists and neckband, but attired,
so thought Lavinia, for the country,
and not for town. His dark suit con-
trasted• strangely with Mr, Holt's ra-
ther gatish mixture of • apple -green
and pink, with walitcoat. of yellow,
and Rithard's quieter, but far, more
handsome aprient and silver, His wig
too;. was not at all niodish, being of
the scratch type that country gentle-
men affected. His, wife was the re-
verse of smart, .but she was loud in
her admiration of her more affluent
cousin's stiff silks and laces.
She .had .mairied beneath them, had
-Mrs. Fleming, and the Belmaneirs
had never qpite forgiven. the shiack-
was nought but a• simple Scotsman,
whose father -even now the family
shuddered at the thought -had been
a farmer.
Lavinia was not over -pleased that
they should have elected to visit Lon-
don, and still less pleased that they
should evince such an effection for
the Hon. Richard and his wife.
"Well to be sure, Lavvy, 'tis pleas-
ant to sit here and .adudre ail the
people!" exClaimed Mrs. Fleming, 'for
perhaps the -twentieth time. de-
clare I am grown positively 'Old -lash -
lotted from having lived for so long

but marvel at the great hoops every-
one is wearing! , am sure mine is
not half the size of yours, and the,
lady down there in the stage -box has
one even- larger!"
Lavinia directed, her gaze towards
the box in question. At any other
time she would haye been annoyed
to • see that the occupant was. Lady
Carlyle, her pet rival „in all matters
of fashion. Now she felt that noth-
ing signified, 'and merely .remarked
that she -considered those absurd gar-
lands of roses on • ' the .dress quite
grotesque.
Behind, Holt was directing „Mr.
Flerning's attention to a box at the
back of the house.
" 'Pon my soul, William'? • 'Tis the
Duchess of Qu.eensliury and her son -
March, you know. I,assure you there
is no one moie-amiable in town. When
"Charles knoWs well-nigh everyone
here,". remarked Mrs. 'Flea:ling in-
genuously, and wondered why her
cousin laughed,
When the curtain rose on the first
act, Lovelacez-was nowhere ito be
.seen, and Lavinia tried to interest
herself' in the play.. But 'it is diffi-
cult to be interested in anything
when one's whole miad is occupied
with something else far more over-
whelming. She was not the onlx one
of the party that Garrick failed to
amuse. Richard sat wretchedly in
the shadow of the box. thinking how,
in a. short while, • he would never
again conduct his wife to the theatre
and never again sit at her side watch-
ing her every change of expression.
In the first interval Lovelace had
still not arrived, but many other ac-
quaintances had arfived and called to
see the Carstares. Markham, Wild-
Deveteux, Sir John Fortescue -
all carne into. the box at different
times, paid homage to• Lavinia, were
introduced to -Mrs. Fleming, laughed
and cracked jokes with the men, and
drifted away again.
How was it she had never before
realized how much she enjoyed her
life? wondered Lavinia. She settled
down to listen to the S6cond act, and
Garrick's skill caught her interest
and held it. For a moment she :for-
got ber woes and clapped as heartily
as anyone, lalighing as gaily%
The next instant she remembered

But Irichard had beard her merry
