But, it caused Lauuce Lislo the worst heart ache of his life. I will tell yon about it. Virgiapa Payna, ot tiranby, neprr flirted. That was a fact patent her admirers.' Handsome sho was, witty aud charming, beyond comparison; but never had folly enough to think that the warmest smile that ever parted her red lips meant more than wou'd read in an open book. Il Virginia would write be tween the lines she had neter done so, though she wai one and twonty. For three months she had been ml?-> tress ot Urauby, a magnificent and fami ly inheritance. Tho great manpion ol pale gray l stone, ict J«WIJS ~(t|rd gardens, beautiful heyond- her very own, and her home, and It had been the homo and possession ot al|;. her j line for over 100 years. From tatber ,to son, and finally Irom lather to daughter, Granby had come to her. And there she dwelt with her guardian, Mr, Israel, her aunt Content and a good train of vants.. The heicess ot Granby, being who she was anil what she was, was toasted far and near, aud naturally would have become a prey to- loitune hunters, but for one clause of her father's will. It had been the one prayer of his life, and it was his dying request, cares fully worded upon paper, that Virginia, 1 then a child ol nine years, should marry Lancelot lisle* lie w ( a% his (tepfeou, aU ready a young mau of' character' and weight. 'lint he had never lived at Gran» by, aud when Virginia, at 16, met him, she could not remember to have seen him before.-'A- : -.Ct. ' It was on the day of her lather's fune ral. Ilor stepsister had been dead seve ral years, and but for the sister of her own mother, aunt Content, sho wae quite alone*' Launce had almost imme diately gone back to Loudon, but ho had come to her, silvering in her black robes, under all the excitement, and said gently, that he feared sho would be very lonesome—that ho wished he eould remain at Granby—that he might bo of some servico to her, etc.; but briefly he , was gone, aud sho bad- retained to j school. At 18 she waa at Granby again, and, with her gufardEftn's approval and -pur* sonal oversight, saw much company. It was better she should see something of the world before chooeiug a husband, ho said; aud so, people argued she was not engaged to Launce Lisle, though Virginia said freely that she was so, uu« less Mr. Lisle preferred otherwise since her father bad wished it. Whatever the truth might be, the fact seemed to make fortune-hunters at least frequent. But 3ne tact as I have said was patent—Miss Payue never flirted. Many argued the proof ot her engagement from Ibis: oth ers instinctively read another cause in a a certain vestal purity of the girl's count tenance wheu iu utter repose. In tho play of conversation it was charmingly vivacious and fascinating. Her crimson lipa and soft black eyes, the white temples and radiant color, helped make up a face which, when ful ly seen, could never be forgotten. Cer tainly Launce Lisle thought so, coming upon it suddenly, for another l?riet week ot his lite, on a hurried busiuess trip to New York. It was just after Virginia became le gally mistress. of Granby. She was spending the winter in the city, ( I say, Launce,' eaid Peyton Lesley, i'you will see your betrothed tomight. She is to be at Madcme Hyacinth's ' Lauuce made no reply,"but wheu he was alone witb his sister, a very sweet wane- a whom t" deariyj'r.Vfid, be asked: 'Do you know Virginia PnJ'lW, Prtte?' Mrs. Roberts replied that she did. f 'Do you like her?' 'Yes,' said Mrs. Roberts with decis luh. l'hat was enough. no ■ more. But at stlpper namo was again mentioned. He heard then t that sho never flirted. He was couscfous of dressing wit}) 1 | unusual care forth®-evening's enlertiffti i uient. Before he left the house he teck irom a trunk a photograph sent him by Virginians lather, some *2 years previouss ' I/. 4t'represented a slight child of eigbt with soft, dark eyes, and a wealth of dark,ending hair. He had the child's image dlißlj in bis mind, con ' fused by the memory of tike same at lfi > ,r«-a timidgiii, trembling in her dress—when, an hpur,later, be came face tO faee with Virginia,. in hel' flilsb of 1 youthful loveliness^ Mr. Israel npon whose artfi sho lean • ed, welcomed him wavwilyv >' I 1 "'Wo aro going back to Grftnby to* jtloVlw. Come soon and Visit tis,' he said. ! 1 Launce did not kno v what. yfovA* be nsefl in Accepting tlrfs 'lnvitution—the petite figure in white and 'j£Wd 'confused him so; but he had arrived late, and Virginia and guardian were already go- I ing, and (hat was the efid ot (lie convert sation. lie mused over it, thinking tliflt the lady was simply polite, aud seemed, indifferent simply because she was iiat so. At sight of- the frank, steel-blue eyes, Ihe firm, white brows shadowed by rings of fair hair, the finely chisled mouth—allot which she remembered perfectly, her heart gavo a traitorous leap aud threatened so alarmingly to go over to the stranger that sho swiftfy summoned all her native eaution. Ho did not love her, probably; perhaps nev er would; and she was very proud. Ey*. .eu her lather's wish must be set aside before her rights as a woman to be preferred solely fbiv herself, ..; Bnt Launce wout to Granby. I hard ly know of anything on earth tliAt would have kept him from going. Virginia had reigned rnistre*? there only since the previous au'fiimii, but hei 1 taste for what WW artistio and interior of the great mauHon a striking charm. Lovely pictures leaned from the walls; graceful figures in -bWmzo and marble graced shelves and niches; floors had been relaid in polished, wood, aud covered with rich skius and foreign rugs. And over this beautiful homo reigned a presence the most beautiful he had evtir seeu. Launce thought. Ho talked, and rode, and drove with Virginia, and she was sweet and gentle. But others talk ed, and aud drove with her, sons and brothers of her neighbors whom she had known all hor life, and she Was sweet and gentle with them. Thero Was Allan Stuart, Godfrey Grey aud the Rune brothers —Launce could not see a bit of diflerence between her treatment of them and of himself, no pondered the matter at night, ou a sleepless pillow, th 6 moon looking at bim through the silken cur tains ot the windows that week at Granby. But Lauuce was a thoroughly manly fellow, apd had courage to dare his iate. He did net admire Virginia Payne one whit the less because of tho reserve winch so baffled him. One day when tbey were out riding with a party of four others, he proposed making a cross cut through the woods to find a whip which he had lost there the day previous, and asked Virgiuia to ac company him. 1 'Wo will meet tho others at the turn* pike crossing.' be said, Virginia turned her horse's head readi ly, all uiisnspicions; but, when tbey were hid among the balsamic flrs she suddenly became aware of her company ion's manner, A sudden bloom showed in her cheeks," she begau herself the search for the whip. 'I don't care a picayune fer the whip, f came this way, Virginia, that I might be alone with yon for a moment,' This did not tend to make the soft cheeks any less vivid, bnt Launce did not notice. 'I want to tell you something,' he went on, sloadily, 'which you have beard from other men, I dare say, but it is nevertheless true from me. 1 have never ia my life seen a woman whe snits me as you do, Virginia; aud it is not because of what your father wished and planned for us, but because of yourself. But while you are beautiful and attractive, there is nothing wonderful about me; and though I don't kn6w why you should marry me though I wish you would. Not becanse of youf father's wish either.' Ho had taken lief hand, stopped the horses, and was looking into her face, with k its downcast eyes and tremulous Hps. , ;; ' j 'Could yon love me, VUgiuia?' A dimple stirred t iio soft check. 'Perhaps,' She pever knew What startled her horse at that moment, but he snied at some Olivet kit be wood, nearly unseat ing her, and then flew like tiic \ylml down (he path, Lnuuce followed anxi ously, but she had met the others of the party be ford he overtook her. Wat no chance to tee her alouo attain that day, and the next be had setfor bis ld~' pari lire. But she had confessed nothing, promised; nothing/arid he was,, perhaps, less at ease fhaii before bis declaration. There was coitipany t'i' entcrtnin that day—among the number Tom Arlington. Laimce had oiteri heard him spoken ol find did not wonder, fie was a singu - larly handsome man, with a brilliant completion, disheveled hair, 'burling beard, a blase air, and the tout ensemfe of an artist, , Launce looked critically at the rose-and-gold ol Tom Arlington's ) make-up, and djd Ji^ke him. before he observed, that his attentions to •Virginia during the evening were >eyy marked. talked to him, played tor him, sang with him.' *Pbii- Virginia! So near lo being perfecHy happy that she dared not contemplate it, trite' eeiisfed upon the first pretext lor concealing her emotion.

So young, so sensitive, so susceptible to beauty and grace in others, was it likely ft&t be would win her? No, nol he told himself, bitterly. Hie knew liow, alone and unaided, ho had battled with the st^ ; n realities of life, how 6e had 6in qunred tjie temptations of early youth, I and worked, out of the hardest nnd most adverse circumstanoes, a pure and noble lite; but what did that go foi' with this charming and tdtt'ed'gfri; ever laid amongtfce roserand fed oh the lilies of lite? She was llktsly—aye, f»r m'ere likely—to be pleased,'with the artist, Tom Arlington I ju He rose early from tho night's troubled sleep, and went down into the g&rdetfbf Granby. The great golden day lilies were In biooin, and the trees veiled with young green. Suddenly, on a rustic seat upou the terrace, hie saw Tom Ar» liugton. He was diroctly in his path; he could not avoid him without turning di rectly baok, and so bo walked on and saw wbat Td'tri had in ribbon 1 of pink silk, with ai rose .worked in jilver thread upbn one ond. Now it ohaneed that Lnuuce kneW the ribbon very well. He had marked it kuotted among the lace at Virginia's throat, and at sight ot it hfs heart seemed suddenly to stop beating in hif»' bosom. Desperation made him quick-witted and unsparing of himself, 1 'Too have found a ribbon ef Miss Payne's?' he asserted, with fine care lessness. 'No,' said Tom, laying it gently be tween the leaves ol a book upou his knee. 'She gave it to me.' Launce recollected again that Virginia 'never flirted,' He made r.o further ef fort to seo her alone, but the next day departed from Granby, Virginia never guessed all this, but be fore La unco's very wretched summer had passed she began to wonder that she did not hear from or see him agaiu. He had gone back to England, bnt sbe knew that he was to return to America in Beps tember at least. She could not but think it natural that he should write to her ail this. time. 3ut Launce was far from dreaming of such a thing. 'He was fryv lug with all bis might to forget her; he succeeded so ill, that at last be determine ed to visit Granby euse more, and be hold her betrothed, if not married, to Tom Arlington. He left his horse at the gate frith a servant, and came quietly en foot up the avenne. The rod leaves of tho maples cqveriug the ground made bis steps Bouiidless. Suddenly, among the trees, lie saw a gray dress, aud a man's elegant lounging figure. The latter leaned with a downcast and sullen lace, against the trunk of a tree, his conteuace aud altitude in strong contrast to his costly dregs aud air of a pleasuresscekor. Tho man was Tom Arliugtou, and the lady Virginia in the act of turning toward the house. 'No,' she said, clearly, 'you cannot ac company me any further. 1 have taken advantage of this meeting to ask yon to be relieved henceforth of your company, Mr. Arlington, In displaying the ribbon I simply and unsuspiciously gave you as a book-mark-displaying it as a token trom me—you have acted a falsehood Wt.cb w' 1 never profit yot*.' He muttered sometlrtng. 'Forgive you? Nol But I will cer tainly do my best to forget you,' Bhe answered, aud hurried away. Theie were tears upon his check When Launce overtook her, but het blush of delight burned them aW*y,'and she gave hiin her hand. , ''Virginia,' he snUl. '1 am here lo re peat what I told you ohce.
