attire was regal magnificence hi the

had become once more the mythical,

eauld not be one of them, dressed in silk
and lace, tied wearing jewels and, white
maw, with an intangible perfume of
heliotrope softly emanating from the
gauzy glistening folds of her
black (trees!
Somewhat of this was in the wistful
little facee that hurried down the
stairs after Winnie to see her get into
the carriage -a -real carriage, with two
splendid horses, and the coachman in
livery waiting at the porch! They
crowded round timidly and respectfully,

because •of those longing, wistful, tim-

and we will have a beautiful party of

. When the carriage door was shut,
and "sister "Winnie's" bright, gentle
facet looking so lovely with its bright
color ad. sparkling eyes, was lost to

But leord Eustace, knowing perfectly

Tredenniek's grand alliance, the coronet
she had. won for her haughty brow, the
title of "my. lady," and the possession
of the Mountrevor rent roll, formed
answer sufficient to Winnifred's simple,
romantic nature; and her fond, constant
heart hadrequested even its own
silent relief and gratification, at the
unexpected ,news which reached her
across the Atlantic, for did it not tell
of pain and disappointment to bini
who, as she believed ,had Joved proud
Mildred Tredennick? And, besides, that
fondly -cherished growth of her own
wild folly ha -d been too severely ernsh-
