She lead not encocntered Fier old
lover once. She wished very mtcl to
see him. Wliy shat:ld they not be
friends ? he had no desire fo
anything more than the most tom-
loon form of friendship. She remem-
bered J.i, bright, st.nny temper, his
sweet smile, his wonderful good
humor, his cheerful presence. She
felt that- it would bet a comfort and
fl
pleasere to sec I.im at times af-
ter the eellen silence that often
lasted for days to hear a few
bright words. She found herself
often wondering when and where she
should meet him again. At last the
time came.
Laly Maude Bramber had been ab
,slot from home for some few days:
and during that time the earl had
sent out invitations for a. dinner -
party. If he and his countess had
!mtarci anything of the love story of
Felix and Violet, they had completely
forgotten it. The earl sent out the
invitation:a and one trent to Gars -
wood for Sir Owen and Lady Ch:ev
emir, and one to Felix Lonsdale. Lord
Arlington very seldom hada largo
dinner -party now without inviting
Felix ; his brilliant conversational
;sowers made elm a most welcome
guest.
"F.:IIx ier a hot in himself," the earl
meld e�ay, laughingly.
He lead not the faintestt idea, when
he cent out his invitations of having
done wrong. Lady Maude, to whom
Ftelix had •revealed itis love -story, did
not return until the day of the t an-
nex -party, a,nd then it was too late
to send a note or message anywhere.
"They must meat same time," she
said to herself, in dismay ; "perhaps
It will be better here than elsewhere.
I ;shad be at hand to help him if he
requires help."
She said nothing to any one, but
awaited the course of events.
The dinner was given in boner of
Lord Rayden, a great statesman,
who was visiting the earl, and
Lord Arlington was both pleased and
proud to introduce bis young and
gifted protege to his friend. Col.
Riedell was invited—he would not
have gone had he known that he
was to meet Sir Owen, whom he
detested—also Lady Rolfe, her
daughter, Lavinia, and several other
friends.
' It was a warm day, and the green
shade of the foliage all about Brain-
ber Towers was cool and inviting.
The dinner hour was fixed for 7.
"There is no keeping people in -
floors on these fine summer nights,'"
Hai( i tlto earl, 'so we may as well
be prepared to spend the evening
out-of.dlnors.d
Lady Maude only hoped the even-.
ing would pass as pleasantly as
her father seemed to anticipate.
Mho alone knew what rival inter-
ests would be at play. She would
have been better pleased tad there
been time to send a message to
Felix to tell him who were to be:
present, bnt there was not time.
4he resolved to dress early and wait
for ham. He should not be
seen to disadvantage. She
knew that ho was coming early ; he
Karl some papers that her father
wished to see ; and they had arrang-
ed it so.
Lay Maude was the first in the
rirawing-room, and to her great de-
light Felix came in coon afterward.
She was wonderfully proud of him. As
Lady .+fa.udel looked at him, she
thought to 1te,reelf that there could

He looked in the direction indleat-
- ed and beheld Violet, so changed frons
1 tbe lovely' laughing girl who bad
n- kissed bite and quarrelled with thin
s twenty times in an hour that lie
hardy recognized her. Trois was an
. imperiallybeautiful woman, on whose
white breast and white arms shone
jewels worth a king's ransom—a
woman whose face was so Peerlessly
lovely that it dazzled one as did the
light of the sun.
Violet wore one of the triumpbs
of art that she had brought with
r iter from Paris, and nothing could
have been devised to enchance her
loveliness more. Her dress Zeas come
posed of some pale -green fabric, soft
:end shining, covered with clouds of
rtvhlte face looped up with water-
li11es, and In her golden hair nestled
a lovely drooping water -lily. She
wore a parure of diamonds and em-
eralds. Her white shoulders and well,
molded arms helped to compose ,a
picture that no man could have
seen without feeling bis heart beat
the quicker for it.
Lord Arlington went forward to;
meet her. Like a foil to her bright
and radiant loveliness her dark -brow-
. ed husband stood by her side. '
d' "You are right," said Felix to
I Lady Maude. "She is a thousand
1 times more beautiful."
Lady Chevenix did not notice Lady
' Maude Bramber leave his side and
- go up to Eger. When she had ex,
changed a few words with her she
said t
"An old friend of yours, Lady'
Chevenix, is here this evening." And
once more the two who bad parted
so tragically stood ,face to face.
CRAPrTjE 1 XXXI.
Once more 'Violet and Felix Lons-
dale stood face to face. They looked
at each other for a moment in sil-
ence. To Felix there came back',
with a keen, bitter pain, the mem-
ory of his passionate farewell ; to
Violet there came the sudden, keen
conviction that she was looking at
the face of the only man she bad
ever cared for.
Lady, Maude Arlington, much' as
she disliked the brilliant young t
beauty; felt pleased, after bringing
l the - two together, that sire had
screened Lady Chevenix from ob-
servation, for she trembled ; her
face flushed crimson and then grew,
white.%
Felix was ithe first' to speak. He
acid not hold out hie band in greet-
ing ; he simply bowed and murmured
some few commonplace words.
"I am very pleased to see you."
said Lady Chevenix, and ;,he words
had a ring of truth that touched
both listeners.
With her usual smiling grace Lady
Maude said
"We have a little time to spare—
; would you like to look at ,these pito-
' tographs? They are quite new, and
. finer than anything 1 have yet seen."
• They sat all three round one of
: the pretty little tables that were
covered with ,pictures and books.
• Lady Chevenix turned to Felix again.
"I should like to see your father
and lairs. Lonsdale," she said. `Aro
they well ?"
"They are quite well," he told her,
f but lie made no response to her de-
sire of seeing them.

The dinner was a Complete success.
It was a new tiling to Lady Cheve-
nix, intellectual conversation such
as
elle wns listening to. Sho leaked
once at lien• husband, and she saw
him gazing with undisguised admire -
tion at Felix.
Sir Owen said little. Ifo had Ideas
of his own ; one was that talking
at dinner time was a bore rather
. than not; people sat: down to eat,
not to talk. He certainly 010 not con-
tribute much to the general enter-
tainment. He dined well, and more
than once Violet felt something like
dismay, as she save how the wine
glasses before biro were replenished.
' She could not 'help contrasting the
two )nen; nor was she the only one
present who did so. Felix was so
bright, so handsome, so animated,
so gifted and intellectual ; he was a
leader of conversation even among
older and wiser men than Iitmself,
for lie had the gift of picturesque
language. Sir Owen, coarse and
heavy, bis brain dulled with con-
stant drinking, speaking little, but
when he did speak, saying something
almost disagreeable, was doltish
and Inert, except when he was offen-
sive, There could Have been no
greater contrast—and Lady Cheve-
nix saw .it. To herself site thought
how Felix would be appreciated and
understood in London, how eagerly
he would be sought,—who would care
to remember that he was the son
of a country lawyer? Such men make
their own 'mark. Where her husband
would not be tolerated, Felix would
be received with open arms.
All these observations she made to
herself as she fiat by Lord Arlington
her beautiful face wreathed wit'
smiles. The last words she heard as
the ladies quitted the dining -room
were from, Lord Rayden.
" The next time you run up to Lon-
don, Mr. Lonsdale," he was saying,
"pray comp and see me. I shall be
delighted if you do, and I will show
you the very articles i11 the news-
paper of which we are speaking."
I And in ber own mind Lady Cheve-
• nix thought that such a thing as an
Invitation from the eminent etates-
man wound be an honor Sir Owen
would never attain.

The gentiemen did not linger long
over their wine. Lord Arlington saw
that Sir Owen was inclined to drink
freely ; he made a note in his own
mind that It should be sonde time alt
least before that gentleman dined
with: him again.
As his lorasnip had forseen, the out-
door attractions proved too much for
the younger guests. Tlie earl lam -

Colonel Riddell and Sir Owen made
up a. whist table ; Lavina went

tributed her attentions equally, and

Cure for the Heart ho was on the
road to Permanent recovery.
"I was under treatment with some of the
best physicians in London (England) for
what they diagnosed as Incurable heart

about my heart, fainting spells, palpitation

Violet stood before him, looking
as lovely as a vision, her silk dress
and itch lace trailing round her,
her beauty deepened because over
her white neck and shoulders she
had thrown a silvery veil ; it fell
from her golden head, shadowing
the fair face.

Zion City has a printing establish-

for a printer who does not chew, drink,

printers of this deseription, but they

There are cheap models, of coarse,

But, lacking the subtlest millinery
faculty, the paselbilities end at tile

we flounder about with veils and
flowers, add cache-peignes, and
mostly produce failures. Nothing

disastrously misleading as sitmrllc-
