(Continued from last week.) CHAPTER .X.: "Now at last we are off?" said Kati Douglas. "Isn't it delicious? Aren't you glad to be out of prison, Hope? and have you no curious., questions to ask. me ?" " Well, I don't know," said Hope. "I'm pleased to be going into the coun- try, of course, and delighted to be with you, Katie, but I'm sorry for one or two of the girls in Harriet Street." Oh, then you're not.ging to enjoy yourself. You will be wrapped' up in all kinds of ()heritable, good, unselfish thoughts while we are at the Beechee, Oh, how horrid of yon—I.wieh we were not going." "1 twill know whetter you mean, Katie. I intend to be _as happy as the • day is long. I feel babbling over this minute. You don't know what the country means to me. Oh, is that cnow on the distant hills? Lovely, delic- ious !" Hope flung open the carriage window, and bent half out. The girls had a cym- partment to themselvee. "What am I to be curious ° about, Katie ?" she said, suddenly returning to her seat, and looking into Miss Douglas' eyes with her own dancing. Only about your clothes, you wretched being. You have not been out of that horrid Harriet street, and I assure you we are going to a house full lof people." • " You said," began Mope, "1 Mean I gave you directions about packing my things, didu't ? Have you for- gotten ?" "Oh, have I forgotten! You wait until you open your portmanteau, and that dreenbasket which you never no- ticed, although I hoped you would, when -it was being put into the ..luggage van. You'don't suppose Katie Douglas ever for a 'aingle intent of tier life for- gets things of such paramount import- ance as a girl's dress? You wait and see." "Katie, you know I told you iery, little money was to be spent." "Ilave I troubled you about the bills, dear? Have I mentioned them! Do I look, too, aa if I had run up enormous debts in your mime?"' "You couldn't Katie, that's one com- fort. The shops wouldn't trust a girl who only occupied too 'mall rooms in Bayswater. Oh, I say, the sun is shin- ing on that field covered with snow. Look, Katie, here—here—isn't it rosy? —aren't you joyous even to look at it !" "Very pretty. Don't keep that - window open, Hope; I'm perished. Now, if you had your choice, your choice out of the wide world, what dresa would you wear at dinner this evening ?" Hope looked thoughtful. r black net, for choice," she said, "without any ornaments. I might have 0. flower, if it wasn't artificial, and if the color happened to snit me. Joce- lyn and I always wore black net dresaes when we went out in Downton—that is, in the winter; in the summer we dress- ed in white." Katie's eyea • grew rounder and brighter. You are not hard th please," phe said. "I was so awfully afraid' ou were going to say that new, shade of electric green, with white frthsted flow- ers. Hope, you are the greOest com- fort to me. I do so adore that new-' green, bdt 1 couldn't get itioryou with- out running in debt. Now, you shall just wait and see," Hope laughed. The train sped along swiftly ;"the girls talked at intervals, read at inter- vals, scrutinized their fellow travelers, when, bye -and -bye, their compartment filled up,eind at last, in the dusk of a winter's evening, arrived at a small way- side station where a comforteble carriage awaited them. A drive of two miles followed, and then they found themsolvee in a ram- bling country house,built very flinch like hundreds of others, with latge reception - robins, wide square . halls, long corri- dors, innumerable conservatories, a bil- • lisrd room; a picture gallery—in short, all those accessories which people who are rich, and who live in the country, are supposed not to be able to do with- out. Katie and Hope were- ushered into a hall where several people were already • assembled, chatting round a great fire composed of logs of oak and firs, -and drinking tea supplied to them by two or three prettyleirls who knew Katie, and whoyan up to her with eager- words of welcome. They were iritrodnced to • Hope as Bee, Alice and Maud Chatter. ton, and soon the party of three :became a party of five, the elder ladies and one or two old gentlemen being very glad to • be served by the gay young folk. " You need not be alarmed," whis- pered Bee Chatterton to Hope. " We don't only represent the fairer sex at Beeolaes. You'll see eine& excellent specimens of mankind at dinner -time. They are all in the hunting field at present." "And excellent sport they are having, no doubt," said Mr. Newbolt, one of the oldest of the ofd gentlemen, as he returned his empty cup into Hope's hands. Then there was a little more chat, and Hope and Katie found themselvea in their bedrooms. The rooms opened one into the other, and the giris flitted backwards and forwards as they • dressed. "Katie ! why, why this is my old black net, only it looks new, perfectly new! And how nice that satin slip ' is to wear under it. I don't know that I1. particularly care about drems, but I certainly wish to look nice to night. It is so long since I have been in a bowie of this kind ; reminds me of Grey's park, and of the Ashfords, and of the other placesewhere trocelyit and I used to visit when ' Jived at dear old Downton. •"Don't reminisce, dea ," said Katie, who was looking busy and important; "get into your dram, for I am not sure if, the train ie properly arranged - at the back; Ah, yes, that will do; very nice, very nice -indeed. Hope, what a beautiful figure you, have, and what an upright carriage ! I like, too, the way you arrange that hair of yours—but there, you -know what I've always thought of you ; others will agree with me here, You are quite certain—posi- tive---to get a lover while you are here, Hope," Rope laughed, 9 6 "You really do talk like; a goose fometimes, Katie," she said. "Now what about your apparel—that blue? It looks wonderfallY soft and cloudy." "There's a pink like it in the basket trunk for you,' answered Katie. "1 knew pink would Make you look ,sub- lime, so I had the thing tossed together. The color is perfect—like the lining of a sea -shell ; the materiallvePence a yard. Yon shall not 'wear that dress until the lover has begun to show his attentions.' Now come, are you :ready? I ami quite, .at last. Oh no—my fan and 'gloves. Now then, now then I Did I tell you,Hope, that you would probab- ly meet Roland downstairs"?" . No. I am so glad! I thought hewas settled at school." "He has hada cough, and so secured a two days' holiday. He came down here -with Phil Chatterton. To tell the truth, I expect he'll -beau awful bore.., He's so emprisse„ and so destitute of shy- ness, and he' S quite certain to say the sbrt of thinga one dosen't want- him Vs say. I beseech you, Hope, fasten him to your train without delay,for he quite works on my nerVes—he really does." The drawing -room was nearly full when Hope and Katie entered. They seated themeelves near the doer, and Hope 'presently observed a pair of bright dancing eyes fixed on her. The glance of recognition was followed by a loud and decidedly unconventional "Hurrah ! eel say—it is—it is I" and then there was a raid across the rdom, during which one or two. people were recklessly pushed aside, a small table was overturned,a vase filled with flowers broken, and then a gee of eager ' arms were flung round Hope's neck. "1 say, Miss Karronee awfully glad to see you , Is your foot quite well again? Tho brute didn't quite , trample it to piece, did he? Let me see, do let me see !" • Katie beat a hasty retreat, and Hope held Out the toe of a small satin shoe for inspection. - "My foot is quite well, Roley ; we need not talk about it any 'fibre. "I don't know about that at alleyou're my champion deliverer. I was so ex- cited when I heard you were comiug. I told Chatterton alt about you—Phil, you khow, my friend; .1'11 introducet him presently. And do you know,' there's a grown-up chap here, no end of a swell, who says he knows you His_ name is Grey. I told Grey about you, too, Miss Karron, and he eaid what you did was heroic, and just pgvhat he ex- pected. But what do you 'think ?i The fellow who owns the horse—Rossfter is the name of the horse—is here, too. The fellow's' name ' is Markham; he's a -greet friend of Grey's, and Grey said he'd gc; straight off and tell him. Mr. •,Grey said he expected Markham would• , be awfully put out, and so he should be. said I'd give him my opinion about that horse of his, Oh, I say! there's Grey—Mr. Grey, I nYean. Don't t 1 him I call him Grey behind his backee I'll go and fetch him, Miss Karron ! I say your cheeks- are quite red ! Arc you glad to see Mr. Grey? Is he a great friend of yours ?" s i "Yes, a great friend; Hope.end ; and I'm /very glad to see him," At that moment she almost wished Roland at the bottom of the sets, It agitated her to meet Cecil; hi face brought back such a rush of Memories. And here was this dreadful boy mis- understanding everything. " Here she is," said Roland? "Her foot's all right ; you'll be glad to hear that. I say, have you told '‘Iarkham yet? Is he awfully put out? His horse very near killed me, and a lady. I wonder I he could be tried' for man - /slaughter if his horse killed two people. I think I'ltaik Phil. Phil knows a lot of the law:" - 1" Yes, go and ask him—he's at ',that distant window," said Cecil, givingthe boy a little push. "Go and find him, and when you have found him stay with hint. Do you hear ?" "1 hear," said Roland. He began to make, a slovt peregrine- tion.acroas the room, whispering softly under his breath— , "A lover and a loveress—won't I watch 'em !" The moment he , was , out of sight, Cecil turned a, beaming, face to Hope.. "1 am glad to see you," he said. I've a thousand things/ to' say to you. And Mrs. Chatterton is so good -natured - she says I may take you in to dinner." CHAPTER XI. "Do yea see ihat -queerelooking Iow just; opposite-te us ?" whispered Cecil to his neighbor,- as the eoup was being removed. 'Don't pretend io look atihim, but.just-take a glance when you can, and give me your opinion." "He- has been looking at -me," isaid Hope, "if it is the man you mean. \ has a very quick way of looking, and you can scarcely find out thethe ;has done so, but I have caught his eyes Mice or twice. Be is dark and &Aft much: care for the shape of his, moustache, and his eyes have nothing, very special to distinguish them; still, he has a good head, and a good forehead —there, he has looked -at me aga,in. .Do let us talk of something else, Cecil." "I will by -and -bye. I have not done with the present subject yet. That's Markham—that's the man who I once told you was in all the world alon e worthy of Jocelyn." "I don't othink much of your taste," said Hope. And I am. sure JecelYn would not be particularly obliged to you:" "Zell inel about her, Hope. Viou know I have)not in the least forgotten "But you are not broken-hearted, Cecil." " " Of course not. I should nbt let any girl spoil my life to that extent. But I think I oare just as much as ever for Jocelyn; do tell me 'alllyou have heard." The conversation then drifted into long accounts of the wanderings, of the Seatoris ofJocelyn's opinion on this or that place of foreign interest. Hope spoke with animation, and her compau- ion listened with unabated intereet. They Made a strikingeloeking couple, and .more than one pair of eyes turned in their, direction with: n appreciative smile. • • . - "Quito old friends,"'whispered Mrs. Chatterton to a neighbor. "That girl has such a bright face that she is ab- solutely handsome. Of course, as to Cecil, there'are -no two opinions on the point." , While they talked, Hope again noticed theliulok sharp glance of her opposite neighbor. There are many ways in which a man mey look at a girl. ThIrels the admiring, the indifferent, the affectionate, the adoring glance. Markham's' might have been. interpreted as the puzzled gaze. He looked at Hope as if she both irritated him and gave him a sense Id faseination. "1 Iwish it was allowable to turn one'a back on people at dinner;" she said at last to Grey.I don't :think your friend -4 all good-looking, CeoiL; and he will go on favoring me with those queer flashes from hie eyes." I can explain that." said Cecil; "it Was Markhani's horse Roseiter that trod On your foot. Markham is droured with compunction terrible to wi nes8.71 "Oh, dear! I hope he wont wOrry me on theimbject. He was not in the least ,to blame. Ile cannot help hiel horse, and my foot is perfectly well." "He does not look upon the atecident in that amiable light. He says? was hie fault, for he should have had more capable groom." "Well, yes, the groom was awkward; cei,m but tth, en, so was Roley, .I do hope he won't worry me on the at- ti"Would you rather not' be intro- duced to him ?" "Much rather. I need not know 'everybody ,at Beeches, need I?" Certainly' not. Markham is sure to ask for an introduction, and I can tell him you particularly wish to oe ex- cused Then he'll be certain t6 stare more than ever. He's going to stay here all through your visit." , "Cecil you quite tease me. Oh, in- ti4daice him, if you_ must, but giVe him e. hint that I don't consider m self a heroine:' " Wisely spoken," said Cecil. "It won't he half so bad for you when he takes you in to dinner, and talks to you as he can talk. He won't have t me to flash those glances,, then. Look here, Hone, I told you before what I thought of Markham. You say he is ugly now; but no, woman can resist him. You hear him sing, for instance—I'm only glad Jocelyn is not in the :house that is, unless we were properly engaged and al for inh innt alt that. Ah, there s the sign your departure. What a pleasant we halt° had 1 I'll look you up ag the drawing -room." , 1 Cecil had vastly lmproved in the ,two years whieh had intervened since Hope had last seen him. He was a handsome youth tben—he was a striking-lSking young man now. His features lwere goo , ihis 'figure was yery fine, and his exp esion most sweet and engaging. tSuch a youth, so endowed by nature, and so plentifully supplied by Dame !Fortune with the good things of life, could not help being a universal favor- ite. Nobody gaessed that Cecil had given hia heart away, and •wherever he went there were one or two anxions, if n t designing candidates for the lost tr asure. Mothers were apt to be !very po ite to Cecil, and pretty girls srniled ki dly upon him. His attentions, how- ., ev r, were so general, his affectienate sp Etches were so frank and and above- board, so apt to be bestowed Upon one pretty thin Ion a certain evening, and given to her sister to ponder over, on the next; that Cecil could only bespoken of as the moat harmless sort flirt, as hearts did not break on his ac- count: Perhaps. this, however, is scarcely true. ' One heart- did certainly agile a little, and one pair of soft:pretty eyes could have grown very bright and ten- der had Cecil given \ them the chance.. The owner of these eyes was Bee Chat - tenon, who could not -help lookup en- viously at Hope during 6 dinner, land' rather avoiding her afterward. Itow horrid it wee of Cecil to 'have old, old friends girl -friends; too, with flees ike Hope fiarron's ! Notwithstanding 8 this little ciclud, - however, which nobody noticed, a it was really only shadowy, the girl in the drawing room made very me ry, and Hope and Katie being fresh fitom London found themselves the centr of attraction. In the midst of an ea er stream of talk, during which Maud had advanced to such intimacy with Ii4ope that her hand lay affectionately on the black net dress, Cecil and Markh' m if ,danie up. The dreaded introduct on ' was made, Cacil turned aside to c at with Bee ,,and Maud Chatterton, and - MarkharniPlooking gravely at Hope, said— , •'I understand that a certain subjel et is not to be touched on (between us." "My foot is quite' well," replied Hope, turning crime° , and glancing angrily at Cecil. "I am immensely rel ved to hear 'it. Also that we need n t dwell on the matter. I have distil Esed the groori, and if you dislike eeein ,the horse abut he shV be sold„" "Is e here ?—what a beautiful f ce he had ! • I see his eyes, a little w ld and—" , Hope turned pale., ' "I Ithought we were not to disc se the matter. Will you come and sit in this window? It is not so hot here. Is that seat comfottable ? No; -we wonti talk �f Rossiter. He was a fine creature, handled by a brute. Now I want to apologize to you, Miss Karron." "What for ? " asked Hope. I - "I stared at you unmercifully lat dinner." • ' ' Hope colored again. She glanc d° fully up at Cecil's friend, and made p 'her mind to dislike hire: Then the ex - 'pression of his -face softened her, per- haps rather it 'subdued. Like fri quick flash Cecil's words rushed throu h Hope's mind—"Markhain can fascina e any girt --he -pleases." She resolv d that she should not be a, victim. She sprang to her feet. I "Won't you sit down ?" i t "I like standing best," she Then she colored'again, , and was veic sid with herself. • "Why can't we talk commonplace ?" . • she added. "I am not interested in the horse, nor in—in----what you did at dinner, Mr. 'Markham." I Markham's expression became in- tensely grave, even a little sad.• - I "I wil fly to commonplaces as quick- ly as possible," he said. "I adore com- motiplacee. Still, I must just say a word in self-justification. I stared at you at dinner because—net because - ,f ---- "Oh;don't," said Hope. "Notsbecauve I admired you.." ,,' "Of course not.
