' The arrlral of Richard was. on the whole, an agreeable change In Iht rou tine of life at Inglefleld.

In her frank, fear 'leas way. "But you mast ask your Bother's permission, and before me. She Is a person not to be trlSedwlth." -I know that." he said, hastily, "and I will do so on the first opportunity" "Which he did. In a nervous, hesitating ' way. t "Who care for-Saxon phrase?" re plied Mrs. Sarllle. contemptuously "Miss Desmond would be more useful- ly employed making flannel petticoats for my poor old women. Howerer, If aha chooses to bestow some of her y spare half-hours oa your Investigation of such a dust-heap, I am sure she has my consent," Hope Desmond's time was pretty well occupied, for she bad come to be -- svecretary as well as companion to her active employer, still, she gave Rich ard Bavll!fwbat parings of time she could, aad. If occasionally bored, was .aot a little amused at the profound Im portance be attached to his work. Dut Richard Savltle's presence en tailed other changes, Captain Lumley found It salted hlxa to ride over rery often to luncheon, aad sometimes to dinner, staying the night, almost with out a distinct Invitation from the bos teas, who seemed to think two such fledglings beneath her notice, Toung Lumley did bis best to attract Hope's notice, and flattered himself that she smiled upon him. "Bo yon bare really managed to sur vivebow JongT five weeka under my aunt's Jurisdiction?" be said, having . discovered Hope with a book In her band In one of the shady nooks of the garden one day after luncheon. "I'have, and without any difficulty," be returned, making room for blm on the seat beside her as she greeted blm with a kjndly smile. He readily ac cepted the place, thinking be had al ready made an Impression. "Mrs. Se ville has been ytry nice and pleasant. If she were not I would not stay." "Pleasant! Come, that's a little too saucb. Bbe is an uncommon bright woman, I know, but It's in the flaab-of-lightning style, and lightning some time kills, you know," "Well, she hasn't killed em." "No, I fancy you take a great deal ef killing. Perhaps that's because you are so killing yourself." "Ofe, Captain Lumley! that. Is a style et emplteeat yo4 sight o'er to a bamaM, It 1 sot worthy of a gallant what are you haasarr said Hope, teaching good -bBBseredir. "Ton have takea a leaf oat et Mr. Savtll s book." cried Loraley. while he thought. "What teeth she has regular pearls'" "If you are as hard e me as she Is." he eo tinned, aloud. "I shall not be able to Mve here." "I suppooe you are not ootlged to suyr "Welt, no; but I do not like to go away" "Then you mast strike a balance." said Hope, aad roe up as If to return to the nous. "What! Are you gelag tat It la ever so much ulcer here. May I comer "OX ye. If you Mke." "So rou are colag to help my cons la Richard with bis dictionary what do you call It?" "I really do cot know what Its aame U to bf. Yea; If I can find tlrat I will do some writing for hla." "Richard has more sense that I thought." "At all evrats he Is desperately la earnest, aad that Is always repet aMe" "Kxaotly; that is Jus what he Is. Mlas Dacre (m coming to dinner, aad the vicar and vlearesa." "Oa. Indeed!" said Hope. "MUs Dacre Is rather pretty fer aa helret. and rather a Jolly girl Yeuli like her" "Yery probable, were I to meet her. Lbut I shall net dine with you." "No? What a shame!" "1 do not see that It Is. It weald give me no particular pleasure to Join your company, aad I shall have that precious time to myself. "WeH the dinner will be all the dull er. My aunt will be aa black as thun der. You know she wanted to marry Hash, her second son. to Mary Dacre. Yoa never met Hugh?" "Why. I am not yet two months In Mra. Savtlle's service." "What a rery unraralahed way of putting It!" said Lumley, laughing. "I nerer object to the truth." re turned Miss Desmond. "Why should I not srre Mrs. Savllle for the time belngT "I am sure I don't kaow. Well. Hugh is a capital fellow, but awfully headstrong: so, after he was sent ashore last time, he weat wandering about the Continent, aad fell In love with a charming glr", or a girl be thought charming, without asking leave. Rather Imprudent, eh?" "It was more." said Hope, looking dreamily far away "It was wrong. A good mother has a right to be consult ed." "Perhaps so: but If a fellow Is very much In love be Is apt to forgK these things. Anyhow, Hugh has been chivied away from the maternal roof. It seems my uacle Lord Evertoa la trod need Hugh to the fair oae aad her father, so be baa bees tabooed, too; but be Is a remarkably plucky old boy. so be came down here to plead Hugh's cause, and caught It pretty hard, I fancy " "Yes, I saw blm, and I imagine ht bad a trying time of It. Pray do you I mean your special family talk of each other to erery one In this candid fashion?" "I do; and why should I not? I say nothing that every one doesn't know and talk about" "Poor Lord Everton!" said Hope, with a laugh, as Jf she enjoyed the recollection. "He did look aa If he were being led to execution when be was leaving the room." "Oh, be did, did be? He's so end of fun." "I can imagine be la. Good morn lag. Captain Lumley." "Must you go?" ' "I mast I do not know whether Mrs. SavlH may want me, and I bare no business to wander about the grounds with you." "Perhaps you may be at dinner, after all." "It Is not probable. If Lord Everton were to bo of the party I might wish to intrude myself. As It Is good-bj for the present" With a pleasant nod and smile. Mis Desmond turned into a path which led directly to the bouse, and left the gal lant hussar lamenting. "She Is handsomer than I thought," be meed. "What eyes! and such a smile! Bbe has rather taken to ms, I can see that but there Is something s&flatterlngly self-possessed and frank about her. Treats me as If I were a Bsere boy. I must be very elrll to the bake.

"Aad bow alee she looks la that pretty soft black grenadine aad lace' How snowy white her throat aad hands are! I suppose she Is la mourn ing.

I think I would rather be a housemaid; at least one might flirt with the footman; but a companion "I don't think I ever met you here before." she said, aloud. "No; I am not quite two months with Mrs. Savllle." "Poor Mrs. Savllle! she 1 looking so IIL They aay she Is rather a ter rific woman. I always found her rery nice." "She Is a strong woman, but there is a certain grandeur In her character." "Yes, aad I fancy one must be pretty strong to get on with her," said Miss Dacre, and she gave a knowing little nod to ber companlou. "Then she is so awfully put out about Hugh, You came after he bad gone." Hope bent her bead as aa affirma tive. "He was charming, quite charming so different from Richard though I like Richard, too; but Hugh bad a sort of rough good breeding, If you can un derstand such a thing; be was so gen erous and bright and natural, I knew both the brothers since I was quit a child, so I can sympathise with Mrs. Savllle. To think of bis having mar ried some designing woman abroad, twice bis age, I believe! Isa't It horri ble?" raa on the talkative young lady. Horrible." echoed Hope. "I trust she Is conscious of all he has sacrificed for her." "Not she." returned Miss Dacre with decision. "These sort of people haven't an Idea what family and position, and all that mean.
