A few moments later she entered the reception.room. with a hesitating step. How his heart throbbed as he gazed at the slender little figure in black lace that advanced so timid- ly to greet aim! For a, moment the beautiful face flushed crimson, then paled to a. dead white. as she drew back hesitatingly. **How she must detest Inc for com- ing between her and her inherit- ance?" he thought, with a bitter sigh. His face flushed; a great trembling came over the tall, etalwart figure: he kne that be could never be con- ess that beautiful face smiled him. He would take the -tune that should have been }lel- ' on. one condition only, and that was that he might take Helena with it. "Won't you come into the conser- vatory?" he asked, rather confused- ly. "I have something to -to say to you." He fancied that the beautiful per- fumed blossoms might teach him in what words to tell her what was in his heart -of the great, passionate love that was eating his life away.
