She had been stealing comfort, peace, cer- tainty, from her own poor heart, which stood in great need of enlargement rather than repression.

"You must remember,_my lady," said the Italian, at length, "that you are en- tirely in my power. One word from me and Lord Lynne will never see . you again." • !' "1am half inclined to speak that Word myself," she replied. "I would ra- ther be at Lord Lynne's- mercy than in yew' power:" Looking at her proud, cairn face, Count Rinaldo knew that she spoke truly. For the first time he feIt that he stood in the preeeme of hie super- ior. He did not wish to drive her to extremes. .A sudden thought flashed, through his mind. . "Inez," he said, "be reasonable. You aro happy, prosperous and beloved. 1 do'not wieh to deprive you of all that makes life dear and precious. I am con- tented to forego my claims if you will give inc your assistance."

"inns forgot," •she said, "that you burdened yourself as well as me with vows."

He had stung, her at %et; -she etood erect before him, with. flaming eyes. "If I were it man," she said, "I would slay you." "I do not doubt it," was the reply; "but you had better coolly and calmly consider the position. I do not wish to ioterfere rvith you; what has happened will eller remain buried as regards my - eel!.

Then Lord Lynne went up tO his wife and tusked if elle was better, and spoke so kindly and tenderly to her that Rinaldo's dark face grew even darker.

"He must be invulnerable." • "He is the last person I •should imag- ine any one could love," said Inez, has- tily; then geeing something like sur- prise on the face of her husband and sister, she enatinued, carelessly; "I ain wejudieed, perhaps; but a frank, noble Englishman seems to nie the only kind of man to love, I am heartily tired of dark foreign faces." Lord Lynne laughed, and thanked her for the implied compliment. Agatha smiled, and yet thought her sister's man. near‘ostIrmh ain geu.sband's distress, Lady Lynne did not recover from the little indispo- sition that had attaeken her on the evening of the ball. She looked ill -her spirits were unequal. At times she seein- ed to dread going out; and again, no persuasion could ihduce her to remain at home, They saw her flushed as with a burning fever. and again pale and cold. "She has been out too much," lie thought. "This gay, fashionable life is too great a change for her. I shall be glad when the season is over." "I do not think I shall go to the opera to -night," said Lady Lynne to Agatha. '1 am tired -you can go with Philip," . "As yoti like, dear," replied Agatha. "Do you think I can entertain two gen. tlemen? The count is to join us, you know." e A sudden thought struck Lady Lynne, and her face grew pale. "I had half forgotten that," she said. "I think I will go." Agatha wondered why her sister look. ed half impatient when she .saw her in her white opera dress. "What.• pains youhave taken with your toilet to•night, Agathal" she eat& "Are you equipped for conquest?" "No," replied the young girl, with a .smile. "Conquests are not in my She did look very sweet and lovely in a dress of rich white lace, without any ornaments, except a simple green wreath in her golden hair. Many were the glasses directed to Lady Lynne's box that evening. The contrast between the glowing, magnifi- cent beauty of the Andalusian and the delicate loveliness of her sister struck and charmed every one. People won- dered, too, who that dark, handseme man was bending so attentively o'er the young English 'girl. To •Lady Lynne he was deferential, almost reverential; to her sister he was all that could im- agine a chivalrous and courteous man to be. Ie was a gay little party assembled that evening in the cosey boudoir of Lady Lynne; supper was already pre- pared, and no one seemed so animated or so happy as the count. He did not conceal his great admiration of the gold- en -haired graceful girl, by whose side be lingered. Be amused end Interested every one -his social talents were of no mean order; and Count Rinaldo seemed in a fair way to find an easy entree in- to the highest and most exclusive circles in London. Later in the evening the con- versation turned upon the autumn and its sport. 'Come down. with nil to Lynnewolde Court," said Lord Lynne, "If you know nothing of English country -house life, it will amuse you; we can find you some good shooting, too." A 'flush of gratification spread over the count's face. "I shall be most happy, my lord," lie replied, "to avail myself of your kind- nes.s." As he spoke his eyes fell upon Lady Lynne's face, and he read there that 11 11 were in he' power to prevent it he should never go to Lynnewolde. Without being able to protest against it, Lady Lynne found herself obliged to receive the countas a daily visitor at her house. He Aid not again seek a private interview with her; on the con- trary., be shunned it. 1fe uever gave lier any opportunity of speaking to hint, save In the presence of others. He was careful, too; he dia not push Ms *vic- tory too far. He cautiously .abstained from every word or look that would dis- please or irritate her. Lord Lynne and Agatha were much amused at what they deemed her caprieious dislike to Count Rinaldo. "It is all of a piece, Inez," said her husband to her one day.

"I must save her," he said, "at any cost. I have betrayed myself -betrayed my husband; but 1 will not add to my gnilt-I will not betray my deter," She thouglit of many plans by which this eonld be averted without any open rupture between Rinaldo and herself. The one she decided upon at last was, warn. Ing Agatha that the Italian was learning to love her. If Iter sister did no care for him, all would be well; but if she loved, or was inclined to love him, then she must he warned of. his treacherous charecter. If thet did not suffice, other steps must be taken, even if they were fatal to herself; but in any case, that golden -haired, -entle sister, whose lover she had taken front her, must not, aliould not be sacrificed. in her own mind she resolved to save Agatha. On the following day Inez was going in the evening to a grand concert given at Lifford House, the residence of her grace the Duchess of Silverton. Lord Lynne had asked Rinaldo to accompany them, and he had promised to do so. It was under pretence of some ques- tions about her dress that Lady Lynne souoht her sister's room. She found Agatha reading, and smiled as her eyes fell upon the book. "Hove studious you are," she said. "Tell me, Agatha, 'awe you. deckled about you dress for Lifford.House?" "No,''' ?celled' her sister, it some sur. prise. "I do net know that I have thought of it yet. Michell always ar- ranges my dress." "I want you to look very nice," said Lady Lynne.

The Marquis of Hort- ington likes you better than any one else; if you eive bine a little encourage - molt Ile will soon be at your feet." "What a new arid novel character for you to appear in.
