This terrible blow was too much for j1 the haughty pride of the countess ; she died of brain paralysis in less than a . week, and after her death Renaud did the only sensible thing he had done for years plunged into the rivcr- and the next day was the subject of an in. terestiDg post mortem and coroner's ia qucst. . j And Argemorne, at 18, was, loft an ".orphan, with only a small annuity and po expectations. She was one cf tho proudest wowen in England,, and her ill-fortune galled ier sorely, but she was too proud to jnake it manifest by word or deed. All ber friends called her cold and soul less, and wondered if aught on earth could touch her heart. They little knewthc passionato warmth of the heart which she had ever kept ; Lid ' den. ! She found a home, after the death of her parents;. with a little cousin.but thcro was little sympathy between tier self and the Hon. Mrs. Montague. Mrs. Montague had been at St, Elmar, and she gave Argemorne a home, solely be cause her family pride could not bear; the mortification of seeing a relative in the house of a stranger. ' Near Montague House was the fine estate of Maltravcrs Abby the seat of old Lord Maltravcrs. The old Lord ,had two sons, Louvian and Gerald. Louvian was the heir to the title, the Abby, and tho bulk of the lar-e es tate ; while Gerald,' as j the younger Bon, had only the family! name of Ross wont, and an income of a thousand pounds a year.

And merrily rang the village church bells one bright June morning when Argeiborne was vedded to young Lord 3Ialtravers, and went home to the Ah- by as his honored wife. For jthe old Lord was dead, and Louvian was in un disturbed possession.
