CHAPTER XIX.
(Continued from hist week.)
The Continental train was due ;it Vic-
toria between three and four. It was
half an hour late, but that is a common
occurrence, and would not have greatly
mattered to anybody on this particular
, occasion had note certain train from
Oxfordebeen very sharp to time, and had
not a certein iedividusl who'intended to
come by a Wei one traveled by it.
"Good 1" said Markham, es he sprang
on to the platform at Paddington.
"They are item to be delayed a little at
the Customs, I'll risk it—I'll go to
Victoria. It will be a, surprise to Hope,
•and I can but miss her and that Sister
of hers at the worst. I've a chance,
however, of being in time, if I get a
fleet horse and a good hansom. Yes,
certainly risk it."
The cab bowled off merrily, and
Markham,. leaning forward a trifle in his
seat, gazed befere him with an ab-
stracted but pleased expression. He
was •pleasant to look at, at that mo-
ment—an ugly man, doubtless, but with
a face marked not only by many indica-
tions of power, but of kindliness, of
steadfastness, of truth and honor.
As the hansom carried him swiftly to
Victoria, he was looking at a picture—a
very happy picture to gaze at for a man
who had hitherto all his life felt him-
self more or less of a waif and stray.
He was looking et a peaceful English
home, at a bright English girl its pre-
siding genius, at himself as the centre of
bar affections, the owner both of the
girl and the house. It was all bright,
and the picture was about to become a
reality. He quite fargot the shadowy
face, and the voice which had haunted
him for two years became almost indis-
tinct. Had he remembered the face and
the voice at that moment he would have
laughed.
." Thank God, I am cleared of that
folly !" would have been his exclama-
tion.
The cabman drew up at Victoria.
Markham paid him his fare and walked
into the station. A porter told him
that the Continental train was just corn-
ing in. He was in time, therefore. He
walked leisufely towards the platform
indicated. He would not hurry him-
self. Hope should kiss her sister with
no one there to look on. When her first
great joy had subsided, he would touch
her arm and get her to introduce bim.
_ He reached the platform it was full
of people, bustling, rushing about, ges-
• ticulating, embracing. The scene was
noise and confusion. Markham stood a
little in the background. He' was so
big that he could look oyer the heads of
most present. There was no shurry.
He smiled to himself at the people who
made so much fuss and got so excited.
Suddenly his gaze lit upon Cecil's slight
figure. He was glad to see him there ;
it was good-natured of Grey • to go and
help Rope at this crisis. Then he re-
membered what Grey had told him
about hie own feelings for Jocelyn, and
he stepped a little further out of sight,
and almost reconsidered his project of
surprising Hope at this juncture.
Rope was standing close to Cecil's
side. She wore si grey dress, and a
black lace hat partly shaded her dace.
She, too, was tall and slim. Her very
upright carriage gave her always a dis-
tinguished appearance, and Markham
owned to a sense of pride as he reflected
that she belonged to him.

"Yea, Jocelyn." Hope looked -full

wrote to me when I was in—Algiers—
such a letter—pocr 'boy ! I did not
think he.00uld bave cared for me for 'so
long. He did write sfich rubbish too.
It isn't me he cares for; it's an ideal he
look i at through my eyes. I am won-
derfully conimonplace. Poor Cecil! he
is something of a boy still, but he has
grown wonderfully hendsome."
"What did you say in answer to his
letter, Jo ?"
"What did.' say ? I am not going to
tell you all my secrets, miss, even
though you are to be a bride to -morrow!
So you won't describe your - wOnderful
Dick to me? Well, as you Say, I can
!soon judge for myself • but answer me
one thing at least—ia 'he well off?"
"I really don't know; Jocelyn."
"Oh, what an unworldly Virtue !
No wonder she retains her 'bright face!
But seriously, Hope dearest, did not
two years of poverty make you sidle of
itT"
"No," said Hope.; "1 have had
very happy two years."
Jocelyn I.00ked full into her face. The
strained expression was once more ap-
parent in her eyes ; she looked older
than Hope at this moment.
"Riches can become monotonous,"
she said, in a dreary, low_ tone.
'Then she' linked her arm in Hope's,
and they went into the drawing -room.
" The -gentlemen are late," said Mrs.
Douglas. "Hope, dear, how well you
look 1—not a bit tired 'or o-verdone.
Jocelyn --I really must call you Jocelyn
for your sieter's sake—will you sit by
me? Here, on this sofa, my dear."
"1 will, if you will tell me all you
know about • Hope's wonderful Dick,"
replied the elder Miss "-Karroo, lightly.'
Hope moved away to the other end of
the tiny drawing -room ; 'a very slight
sensation of restlessness came over her.
It was five Minutes past the hour ap-
pointed for dinner.
• " How late these tiresome men are !"
pouted Katie. "We have such oceans

—what do you want ? "
" No, I shall be sick if. you mention

Jane was the housemaid, a neat -
handed girl, who had taken a fancy to
Hope, and Hope to her. Tomorrow
she was to change mistresses, and go
•away with Hope on her hOneymoon.
"What is it, Jane q" repeated
Katie.
"Can I !speak to Miss Karron please,
Miss Douglas? Will you step Out for a
moment on the landing, please, Miss
Kerren ?"
The girl's face was grave, important,
but not in the least alarmed.
a message from that tiresome
dressmaker !" said Katie to herself.
She was dying to follow; but di dt not
likeitet
"What is it, Jane ?" said Hope, as
the two stood on the landing; "is any-
thing the matter t"
"Mr. Grey is in the library, miss.
He wantd to know if he can speak to
you in private for a minute."
"Mr. Grey? But he is coming to
dinner, with Mr. Markham? What can
be the matter, Jane ?"
"1 don't know, miss. What he said
was, Ask Miss Hope Karron if I can
see her fo-ii a moment by herself, and
don't let the others know.' Mr. Grey is
not in his evening dress'mies."
Hope felt as if a cold hand were laid
on her warm beating heart. She did not
change color, however, nor allow the
maid to see a trace of uneasiness in her
face.
"It's a message from Mr. Markham,
of course," she load. "Don't say any-
thing until I know, though, Jane. I'm
sure it's only to say that Mr. Markham
can't come to • dinner. But don't say
anything until I give you leave."
She ran downstairs, opened the lib-
rary door quickly, went in, and shut it
behind her.
"Now, Cecil, if there is bad news,
tell it to me quickly !" she panted.
Both Cecil and Hope were standing
close to a firet-class carriage. Cecil was
loading a porter with all sorts of rugs
. and wsaps, and the next moment a girl
stepped out, put her hand on Hope's
shoulder, looked up into her face and
kissed her. She was not so • tall is
Hope, but the moment she came up to
her and touched her, she geve to Hope a
t
peculiar appearance. Th whole scene
set itselrat once in a sort f picture in
Markhaan's brain, and Hope, to borrow
an old simile, looked like the moon be-
side the sun. The strange girl's face
was set in a frame of the softest golden
hair, her eyes looked big and
dark, her coloring was brilliant,
her smile rediant. She said some-
thing to Hope, and Markham fancied'
that he could hear her voice, lower,
richer than Hope's. Hope was graceful,
lovely in her way—but beside this girl !
Markham felt himself turning faint,
cold and sick. He had not forgotten,
then! The ehadow had come to life.
He stumbled rather than walked away.
Neither Jocelyn nor Hope had seen
bine, but as he reached the end of the
platform a hand was laid on his shoul-
e dart He turned. Cecil Grey linked his
arm with hie.
" It's all up, old man, isn't it ?" said
Grey. "Oh, yes, I always guessed this
—always—since you told me you met
her in Rome. Come away; don't let
the girls see you at preient. Bear up, if
you can, Markham; I'll come home
with you, and we can talk the matter
out." -
CHAPTER XX.
"And so you are really and absolutely
over head and ears in love, Hope?—
Hope the wise, Hope the cautious!
Who'd have thought it ? Who ever
would have thought it? But tell me
about him, my own pet Virtue. How
did he catch and imprison that grave,
steadfast heart of yours? How was it
done, Hope ?"
Jooelyn and Hope were together in
the little bedroom which they were to
share that night. Jocelyn was lying
back in the one easy chair; Hope was
standing by the window. Both girls
were in white ; but Hope's dress was
plain, made eitnply, and high to her
throat. Jocelyn s was a mass of ruffles
and laces, and revealed the exquisite
shape of rounded throat and rounded

by the Chattertons, who were spending

Markham and Cecil were their guests

nor could he. It's in the lettei—what's

Hope ilid not utter a word. She

door and called Jane.
"Tell them to go to dinner, Jane,"
she said, '• Make them go, invent any
