1 DOOMED. 1 By WILLARD MncKENZIE m V3 ee5eeQQQeQQQQQeeeS3 CUAITKU IV. (Continued.) "lly the bye," cried Stafford. 'Tenr hyddyn has never heard the story of Circe." "Oftener than he cared for, nt Hton ntiil Oxford, I should fancy," ulil Jerome, ulklly. "Oh, but the modern story Is far mora wonderfnl than tho classic," cried Staf ford, mischievously. "Tell It to I'enrhyddyn," shouted In land. "Well, bo ahead I don't care," said Jerome, throwing himself bark In his chair. "About five years ago," began Staf ford, Jerome planned one of those won slrrftd pictures before which the Magi of the Academy are always to -.fall In jirostratc worship, and nerer do. The sub ject was to be Circe, but the dltliculty was to find a model. After a long and vain search for the Ideal of his mind's s-ye, he was about to glre it up In despair, when, one evening, towards duk, while trolling, be caught sight of a young. g'l with that half-bewildered look of curios ity which denotes the visitor from bucolic regions. Ills Tieirt leaped up with a big thump. Golden hair, in "bowers of wary ringlets; dark eyes full of witchery; very feature exquisite It was Circe her elf ! lie stood'spellhound. After a few accoml. the girl turned round and caught Ills glance. A slight blush mounted to her s?heek, as sbe slowly mored away. Her figure was petite and exquisitely formed. tier dres, though exceedingly plain, was graceful and elegant; her manner, as far its be could judge, although coquettish unit enticing, had something In It that checked familiarity." "Well," explained Jerome, "for weeks I had been so posesed by the Idea of my picture, had so minutely Impressed upon my mind the kind of model I required, that, having accidentally stumbled over the very thing, I was Irresistibly Impelled to follow her. Mr. Stafford, however, had better finish the story, now he has be znn It." "Circe finally paused for a moment, a ad looked about her with an expression of uncertainty. Jerome, who followed only a few paces behind, stopped too. You may Imagine bts delight upon seeing the girl come towards him. with the evident pnrpase of addressing him. " "I'anlon me, sir,' she said. In the most livery of tones, ami with a timid look In ber eyes; 'but am I In the right direc tion for Oxford street?' "Ws; but It Is a cross way, and diffi cult for a stranger to find. I am walking 1u that direction and If you will permit me, I will accompany you.' Jerome spoke eagerly but deferentially. "She cost a quirk glance from under Iier luBg. dirk lahv, and then, with a sweet smile, .Mid, very gsntly, I thank jrou very mueb, sir.' "Jerome used to protsjst that that glance went through bit heart like fire. As they walked along she tokl him sora-thing of bir battery, liar name was Katie Jfcuan: 'sh was a clergyman' daughter. Iier father was a Said, barsh man, and, unable to endure the Irou rule of home, he bad run away, ami taken shelter at the bousA of a distant relation. 'She wai trying to get pupils; she was a good mu sician, but, alas! what chance bad an unknown country girl In this great world of tandon?' "Jerome's bop bgan to rise, but he liardly knew hew to explain bis wishes. o, screwing up bis courage to the stick ing idace. be explained to her. in some what Incoherent language, that be was an nrtlst; that he bad conceived a certain idcture, but bad sought In rain for a face lorcly enough to embody It, until be bad met her. Would she might be could lie ask ber to give him a sitting? She might be assured of being treated with every respect ; might bring a relative with her. "The reference to her beauty made her blush with pleasure, and, after a slight hesitation, she consented to visit bis suudlo the next morning. "The moment she found herself In Ox ford street, she bade blm good night, and would not hear of his accompanying ber further; and so quickly did she disappear Among the crowd that he almost Instantly lost sight of her. "The next morning, faithful to her promise, she came to Jerome's studio, and alow. One morning did not suffice our artist: a second, a third did not com plete bis sketch. Jerome was In love; and It was such a case of spoons that be actually proiosed marriage to her. tShe certnlnly bewitched him. Well, fvntlemen,-' continued Stafford, "affairs went on thus for aboftt a month. 'Die 'marriage day was fixed. One afternoon, Jerome left her in bis studio while he went away to purchase somo particular color lie required. He waa absent exactly liatf an hour. When lie returned Circe Jiad vanished not only .the living Circe, but the pictured Circe also, with ererf conveniently portable article of value that waa at band." "And you have never seen ber since?" Inquired Arthur, who had listened to the tory with great Interest. "Never," answered Jerome, replying for himself; "nor roy picture either," "Hut bow about her relation near Ox ford street? What part did she come from what Inquiries did you make?" "She never would let me know where he lived ; which, in my blind Infatuation, f Imputed to some family reason, poverty, or something of that kind, I set the po lice to work to endeavor to recover my picture, but they could not glean one scrap of Information anywhere. If ever she crosses my path again, let her look out for squalls." Jerome from that time sat In silence; and while his companions were cngap'd In an animated discussion upon art sub jects, he took an opportunity of slipping out of the room unobserved; nor did he return again. Halt an hour afterwards Arthur and Stafford strolled out. "What Is the matter, I'enrhyddyn? ou certainly do not seem yourself to day," said Stafford. "Well, Stafford." answered Arthur, af ter a momentary pause. "I have received a communication to-day that has discon certed me. I cannot fully explain Its nature to you, for family reasons; but there Is one part of the communication that I wish to Impart to you and that Is that my father wishes me to marry; nay, more, has found a wife for me." "One with money, I suppose?" "Oh, yes ; a large fortune, I believe." "Not ery young and not very hand some, I presume?" "Oh. quite the contrary; young and beautiful." "Well, I cannot see aythlng very ter rible in such n prospect," cried Stafford, laughingly. "I know It would make me feel very jolly If It were my case." "But suppose I could not love her suppose she could not love me? bow ter rible would such an union be !" "Ah. you take the romantic view of the case," said Stafford. "What Is the lady'a name. If It be not rude to Inquire?" "Miss Orlerson." ".Miss Orlerson, of Hlllborough Hall?" cried Stafford, quickly. "She sat to me for her portrait some little time back." "Is she handsome?" "The most beautiful creature you ever beheld 1 When are you to be Introduced to berr "At the volunteer ball, next week." "You will not find the matrimonial pill very bitter, even were It denuded of the goM coating. In this case," answered Staf ford, with something of bitterness, how ever. In his own tone. Arthur walked on In silence, and his book, and alowlr adrsneed to the verv spot upon which he was seated, Nervous-1 3J; ly, and with a heightened color, ho rose to . 3$" his feet. f Sho was tittorlr mitsinitetniis of bis ' ltr.ltf.lll..., llllltt I... ...i.iii..j.I It ft.. atl..t.l ' I ' ,.. . ...v till, ii ii- hiiiiimiiiva t it t'j it i-iii'. cough. Sho started back with a (milled look, which, upon recognition, changed III' stnutly to a scarlet blush. "I'anlon me, MIm llrlerson," he said, In a low, agitated tone. "I fear that I have terrified jou." ".Mr. Stafford," she murmured, custlug down her eyes. "I can scarcely Mlovc my senses t Is it Indeed you? What a strange iinvtlng - -In such a place I" "I am stnjlng with Mrs. llittlcr, at l.lmlou Orange. This Is on the estate. I often stroll hem; the spot Is so soli tary and so very beautiful," replied the lady. "Hut It Is yet stranger to meet jou so far away from I.oinlon." "Oh, I left town with the rest of the fashionable people," answered Stafford. "I am on a sketching tour going right down Into Cornwall." lie spoke the last word with marked emphasis, and a glance to watch the effect.

Miss Orlerson was herself a clever ama teur artist, nud expressed great admira tion of what were really very charming drawings, I loth endeavored to assume an easiness of demeanor which neither felt. "Are you staying In this neighborhood for any length of time?" Inquired Staf ford. "No; I return home to-morrow." "You are going to the volunteer ball, are you not?" "Yes," she answered, the shadow again crossing ber face; "where did you bear of It?" "From a gentlrman Mr. Arthur I'enr hyddyn. lk you know him?" he asked, looking fixedly at her. "I am to visit bis father soon." This time the shadow deepened Into a blush. "I bare heard the name, but I hare not yet teen Introduced to the the gentleman." "Ilut you will be at this ball," he said. In a low, earnest volcw; "Introduced to him as your future husband." She did not answer, but her lips quiv ered, and she stooped her head over a leaf she, was dissecting, to conceal the tears that were welling up Into her eyes. "Would to heaven we had never mst I" he exclaimed passionately. "I would, at least, for your sake, we never had," she murmured. "How easy It Is to utler sueh plati tudes 1 be went on.

CIIAITKIt V. The London season was over; all Its patrons had departed to the four points of the compass; and two days after the little dinner at Klehmond, Stafford et out upon a sketching tour. Simply provided with as much clothing as a light knapsack would contain, besides bis drawing mate rials, be took a ticket on a brilliant Au gust morning for Guildford, Intending to proceed thence to the extremity of Corn wall. A celebrated landscape, about two miles from Guildford, occupied blm the whole of the first day. He had taken up his lodging for the night at a village Inn hard by, and, returning thither towards even ing, the sight of a pretty wooded lane Induced him to turn aside from the road be bad been pursuing. The path sudden ly terminated In an abrupt slope, descend ing Into a narrow gorge, at the bottom of which ran a shallow stream, half con cealed by ferns and shadowed by over banging treesA broad plank waa thrown across the chasm. Crossing the bridge and seating himself upon the opslto ris ing ground, Stafford brought forth bis pencils and water colors, and set himself eagerly to work. So absorbed did be become In bis occu pation that he was unconscious of the approach of a second person until, raising his eyes In a new direction, be percidved a lady with a book In her band, standing upon the bridge, looking contemplatively down tho valley, The pencil dropjw-d from bis hand, and ho could not repress a slight cry of surprise. The lady was about twenty years of age, and lightly dressed In white muslin, relieved by a trimming of bright blue rib bon. Kroin beneath ber Leghorn bat ber hair hung down In a shower of golden ringlets ; ber eyes were dark, ber complex ion pale, ber featurta -exquisitely regular and refined. Absorbed In the contemplation of this beautiful vision, the loveliness of the land scape was wholly forgotten, and Htaf ford continued to gaze upon her wltb the most wondering Interest. After a few momsnti oho resumed the perusal of the he a mad dream a thing to pray to heaven to recall -a thing to hide and run away from, white that of Arthur I'enr hyddyn Is a thing to he realised to be thankful for, and to be 0ienly proclaim ed as a thing to be proud of? I have no tnuity genealogical tree to show; but 1 am as much a gentleman as he Is In heart and soul; but what Is heart, or soul, or Intellect without money? Love and beauty are only to be obtained by gold they are bartered like bags of cot ton or acres of land." "And do you think I am bartering my self for gold?" she said, looking reproneii fully, yet proudly, through her tears. The sight of thewt tears, and of her pained face, melted his hard mood; he threw himself upon his knees, and selling ImUi her hands In his, passionately Im plored her forgiveness. "No, nol I did not mean what I said," he cried. "My lore for you makes me selfish, cruel, un reasonable; but I cannot endure the thought of your being snatched from me by one who looks forward to this union with reluctance." "What do you mean?" she cried, color ing. "I mean that you are both you and Arthur I'enrhyddyn to be thrust ujon each other to suit the plans and to for ward the selfish Interests of your friends. I'enrhyddyn, who is a friend of mine, con fessed to me as much." "Mr. I'enrhyddyn need not fear that I shall be thrust upon blm," she said, proudly, "Promise me that," he cried, eagerly; "promise mo that you will not be forced Into this union against your own Inclina tion that you will not suffer yourself to be sacrificed to the cold-blooded policy of relations," "Do not exact any promise from me," sho said, In a distressed voice. "You do not lore me, or you would not refuse me such a promise as I ask," be said, gloomily, "I do not ask that you shall not marry, but only that you will not suffer yourshclf to be forced against your Inclination."
