Ah! she exclaimed, half under her breath, as she held me off a moment and keenly scrutinired me with her great, lustrous black eyes. Then a warm smile parted her lips, and kis sing me tenderly, she added: 'You are beautiful, my child far more beautiful than I imagined. AI bert will be charmed. Ah a blush, lised her dying mother to give her a dearest? You have not forgotten my j home at Gray Fell, as you know; and old hope, then!

As we entered the dressing-room she glanced at the timepiece and turn ed to ray maid: Take mademoiselle s wraps, Man ton she said quickly and imperious and then lay out some of her hand somest dresses; adding smilingly, as her eyes returned to me, I shall su perintend your toilet this evening, my dear. Dinner will be served in less than an hour, and I want you- to ap pear at your best when you descend to the drawing-room. Albert shall be dazzled at first sight.' When we entered the brilliantly lighted drawing-room it was . tenanted by, two persons a handsome, kindly looking man, whom I recognized at once as my step brother, and a tall, slender girl with heavenly blue eyes, pearly skin and a shimmering crown of pale, golden hair. A faint damask tinted the girl's cheek as we entered, and I noticed that the gentleman rose with suspi cious haste from the chair very close to her own. I fancied, too, that he had even more hastily dropped one of the dainty white hands toying with a bunch of blue for-get me-nots; that matched a tiny cluster half hidden in - m i a a 1 I 1 the nossy gold ot ner lovely nair. I had heard of this fair girl, and that her home would henceforth be at Gray Fel. But for the first time it occurred to me that she might be des tined to step between me and the man I had slowly learned to think of only too tenderly. . With a sharp, jealous pang I ex tended my hand to Albert Lalor, who had hastened to me, his fine eyes glow ing with admiration and pleasure. His greeting was cordial, and dently pleased his mother. 'But why don't you kiss her, my son, as in the old days?' she smiled cavlv. .""' And with an answering smile. Al- CJ w ! bert bent his grand head and pressed his bearded lips lightly to mine. 'Ah. what a charming blush!' laugh ed my stepmother, 'touching my glow ing'cheek caressingly with her soft, white fingers. I smiled, but my heart throbbed painfully under the ruby velvet bod ice that became me so well. Beneath the pressure of those bearded lips my wayward woman's heart had leap'ed from tenderness to a full, fierce, pas sionate love. I lifted my eyes, lustrous with the new-born feeling, to the handsome, smiling face ot my brother, and again my heart swelled with jealous pain at sisrht of its unruffled calm. Rut the next moment Madame Viele claimed my attention. Vi, dearest, my great-niece, Holbrook'. She smiled. I turned my eyes from Albert's face to meet the eager halt-ahrighted gaze of the golden-haired girl I could not but admire. I bowed, and somewhat coldly ac cepted the proffered baud, and answer ed the few musical words ef gentle welcome. Then I involuntarily flash- a s-4 a o aan I Uort. Ah, how the blood leaped through i had caught m the hall above remam- mv veins! And how I hated the charming creature standing before me, so regally graceful and sweet.
