Words are feegle to depict the sur -

face and excited mention hasten to the
companion and clasp her hand in his
own, staying, as he did so, 014ady Flor-
ence, I cannot express my delight at
seeing you, Lady Lyme and myself
have searched Rome to find you."
"Lady Florence!" cried the Misses
Cadwell and Mrs. Godwin in one breath
and in one key, while Mrs. Cadwell sat
too dismayed to *peak.
Then a handsome lady, with an air of
dignity, stepped forward, and clasping
the youth girl in bee arms, kissed hecl
warmly, uttering, in a sweet, inusical
voice, the kindest of greetings.
After that a younger lady, with it
sweet, fair Mee and golden hair,
whom
Lord Lyon° introduced as his eistera as
Miss Lynne, welcomed her just as lands -
3y, while the lookers-on were petrified
with amazement. The Lye:nes—the best
and most exclusive people in Rome —
woe positively in raptures at meeting
with their companion I—calling her Lady
Florence, too! What could. it mean?
Like a flash of lightning the recollection
of the magnificent dress ran through
Maria's mind. What if, alter all, she
were mistaken, and the despised compan-
ion proved to be a "lady" instead of an
adventuress! They heard. every word, of
the dialogue, •
"Where are you staying?" asked. Lord
Lynne.
"I am travelling companion to three
lathes," answered Florence, with a smile.
"We are staying in the Via Gregoriana."
"You meet go home with us," eried
Lady Lynne. "If yen only knew now
we have searched for you! We will. not
lose sight -of you again."
"Why did you not write to me?" said
Lord Lynne, reproachfully.. "Was I not
your father's friend? I can hardly for-
give you."
"Come with us for the day; at least,"
said Lady Lynne watching the sweet
face as it alternately paled and pluehed.
'We can arrange for the .future. I am
not -willing to pare with you."
"You are very kind, Lady Lynne," re-
plied Florence; "but I am engaged; my
time is no longer my own. I will ask for
the day, but I am not quite sure if I
can be spared."
"Do not speak eo, Lady Florence—you
horrify me," cried Lord Lynne. "Intro.
duce um to your friends, and I will ar-
range that."
Ile noted the half -reluctant expression
that came over her face, and smiled as
he did so.
•".A.m. I to ' take the law into my own
hands, and introduce myself?" he asked,
with it ensile.
"WI the cried, hastily. 4113u1, Lord
Lynne, I call myself Miss Wyverne—to
to these people. It seemed so absurd for
it Lady Florence to go out as compan-
ion."
"It is absurd, indeed," he replied, dry-
ly, "We must alter that. I will make it
straight for you at once."
Then Lady Florence brought Lord and
Lady Lynne up to the fluttered and agi-
tated group, and introduced them to
each individual composing it. Mrs. God-
win went through the ceremony like a
lady; the Cadwells were nervous. They
had attained the •end and alai of their
existeece at last; they were introduced
to it real lord. and his lady.
Lady Lynne was mest graelous, and
her smiles bewildered them. Lord Lynne

"I hope Lady Florence will make no

"You are very kinds" said Lady

there is a picture! Do you see that nem.

against those old stones? If I had but

Lord Lynne looked; and then, to his
wife's surprise, cried out, "Inez, that is
Lady Inoreiree Wyverne. I ane truly
thankful. Let u.s go over to her at
once."
All that day they lavished, upoo the
friendless, solitary girl the moat lov-
ing care and attention. Not tone word
did site say to them of the unpleasant -
ries of her present life. She spoke of
the eon,stant kinsiness of Mos. Cadwell,
and gelid but little of her daughters.
'I'hey would not hear of any return to
what they called her slavery, Lady
Lynne had promised she should go back
that sr:ening; bat she repented haying
said so, and was glen to hear het' hos-
band and easter strongly prohibit any
such measure. A polite note was tleere•
fore written and despatched to Mrs%
Cadwell, who had not expected to see
the late companion again.
It was wonderful 'how much Julia. and
hiaria found to praise an.l admire in the
young girl they had previously- disliked.
The whole evening was e,pent In dis-
cussing the morning's adventure. The
arrival of the pretty scented billet, with
a coronet upon the envelope, eras but
another charm.
The day following Lord and Lady
Lynne collect upon Airs. Cadwell. They
little knew the preparations that had
been made for that event—how many
dresses the girls had tried. on.; hole
the salon had been arranged; how the
card -basket was weeded of all obnoxi-
ous and commonplace names, and 'the
Hon. 11Irs. Godevine c:aed plated where
it was sure to attract attention.
Mrs. Godvvin gave some very plain
hints. that ahe eonsidered she ought to
be present at the interview; but Mrs,
Ottdwell discreetly refused to understand
aloemr.c1 Lynne explained es much as he
,
thought proper of the circumstances
that had caused Lady Florence to net
as she had done.
"I consider myself her guardian," he
continued, "I was her father's intimate
fyieril; and Lady Lynne wishes her to
make her home with us at present.
Some arrangements will be entered into
with the present Earl of Wrzerne, who
is bound to allow Lady Florence an in-
come from the estate. If you eon find
some one as substitute for her, Mrs.
Cadwell, you will confer a great favor
upon Lady Lynne end myself."
"You naust not think," 'said Lord
Lynne, with the kind courtesy that ever
distinguished hint, "that eve intend to
deprive you altogether of Lady Flor-
ence's society. I hope you will some.
times call at the Palazzo Gann', We
shall be happy to see you."
It was a tritunpla to be able to tell
'Mrs. Godwin that they were invited to
visit Lady Lynne.
"I tell you," returned' the lady, "a
more fortunate thing never happened to
anyone."
Both Agatha and Lady Lynne Mal the,
kindest affection for the beautiful young
girl who seemed to have no friends. She
was lianpy with there; but she never
felt quite at home with Lord Lynne. nhe
had not forgotten those few days] at
Severnoke Castle, when he had seemed
to care so rauch about her. -
Lady Florence admired the superb
beauty of Lady Lynne. She understood
row much the graceful, dignified Anda.
lusiati loved her husband. Lord Lynne
was kind and coltrteous to her, as to
every one, and she was wonderfully
happy In that new home where every
loving care and attention eves lavished
upon. her. A correspondence was opened
with the Earl of 1,Vyverne. Lord Lynne
refused to listen to any argument Flor-
ence brought forward, and aleclared she
must be guided by common sense, not
pride, and. that ber father's daughter
should receive a suitable provision from
her father's estate.
They had now been three weeks in
Rome, and Lady Lynne was beginning
to recover her smiths, nothing having
been heard of Rinaldo.
"He will see," she said to herself,
"Met there lo no chance for hint, and
he will be satisfied to leave us alone."
Alas! she Was too sanguine; as well

and they will follow us,"
So Lord Lynne left order e with his
servants that if any friends came from
England, they were to be told Lord and
Laxly Lynne were et the Pamlifi Doria
Villa, and asked to follow them there.
It was a bright, cloadless day, such as
one only sees in Italy; the sky was
blue, the sun bright, and the gardens
were perfection. Lady Floreneglingered,
like one fascinated, by the side of Inez.
She had never seen hot' look so handsome
and. so bright. There were numerous
strangers in the gardens, and many were
the admiring glances that followed the
beautiful Andalusian, She bad thrown
off her troubleand cares, and given
herself up to the charnz of the day. Her
husband !tensed At her in achairation,her
glowing beauty,, gay spirits, and musical
laugh, all seeming to have a new and
more potent fascination for him. They
were as happy as children, No one could
nave guessed that over one among them
there hung the blackest cloud and. the.
most bitter sorrow.
All day they lingered in the weeps,
admiring the relies of antiquity' that
greeted the eye at -everh turn; the long
terraces and the beautiful . views seen
from thin.
"I am tired," said Lady Lynne, with a
smile. "If you will persist in going over
those terraces agein, Agatha, take Philip
with you. I will rest here, at the foot
of this statue, You will know Where to
find rue."
- They laughed at what they called her
indolence, and then went away.. Lady
Florence begged that she might vermin
with Lady Lynne.
Inez sat at, the feet, of the statue, and
Florence gazed admiringly at her beauti-
ful, smiling face. .
"How happy you are, Lady Lynne! I
think no one in the world is so happy as
yore' said Florence.
. Florence did not detect the bitterness
of the laugh in which her companion In-
dulged.
"My best wish for you, Florence," she
said, "is that you may be happier than
I am,"
"That woula be impossible," she te-
plied; and then she sprung to her feet
in terrified astonishment.
A change, almost ghastly; had come
over the face or Lady Lynne. Her eyes
grew dim and full of horror; her white
lips parted andequivered.
"Dear Lady Lynne," eried the young
girl, "are you ill 7 Mat is it? Shall

With a desperate effort Inez reeovered
herself.
"1 ant faint and tired," she replied;
"do not say anything, Florence, not one
word. It distresses Lord Lynne and
Agatha. See," she continued, carelessly,
as a gentleman sauntered slowly • down
the path, "here is one of my husband's
friends, the Count Rinaldo Monteith"
There was It dark frown upon the
tbunt's face, but it vanished when he save
that Inez was not alone. He bowed most
courteously.
"I am nappy to find you, Lady Lynne,"
Ito said. "Your servants, when I called,

"How long have you been in Rome?"
she asked,
"I only arrival this morning," he re-
plied. "I left London hurriedly and on

Ireland's Unstable Bog Land.
The bog slide in county Galway, which
beginning after heavy rains on Sunday
has already overwhelmed the village of
Rilmore and threatens disaster to a
whole countryside, is unfortunately not
a netv experience for the sister isle.
Owing to the low level of the interior
and the excessive rainfalls, huge areas
are merely peat bogs, and one such area,
the bog of Allen, in King's County and
County dKildare, is over 200,000 acres
in extent.. The worst bog slide of re-
cent years happened during boxing
night, 1890, when the Knocknageelia

remarked that the time was a quarter
to 10, and lie lied intended to fluish at
0 o'clock. He did not seem in the least
fatiguee; the, audience was also quite
fresh, and when tbe speaker was about
to sit down, loud cries of "Go on" were
raised on all sides.
"De you really wislt me to go on?"
Mr. Shaw asked.
He was answered by renewed cheeving
and more shoute of "Go on."
Great was the disappointment, there-
fore, when he replied, "That is the ex-
act point at whieli an experienced
speaker sits down," which he accord-
