It waa not without a aigh of regret that Helen Montauban obaerveil the pain which »he waa forced to iullict on one who loved deeply and truly. Francia Kg- erton had inspired her with a aentiment of the nioat oarneat eateein; lint the knowledge of the depth of hla regard for her had alnioat decided Iler, at flrat, to break off an Intimacy which, on hla part, claimed aoinethlng more thnn the name of friendship. Thin, however, neenieil too harnh a meaaure. She could not perennile heraelf to go ao far. She liked him «in- eerely; her regard for him wan too reni — too deep, to permit her thnn nbaolutely to rellUqtilah the occaaional aociety of Lord Egerton; while ahe trueted to cure him, in time, of the pannioli, which ahe felt too well, from a coneciotinneaa of her own preference in n different quarter, ahe ■boilld never be aide to return. Since bin arrival juat after Itone hud become an Inmate of the Chnteau Moutan- ban, ahe had begun to feel that ahe had a meaoa of anaintance at hand. Site did not patine for time to define any plan, or to any to heraelf, in ao many worda, that auch and auch an ultimate lamie had been fneaaed at, or hoped for. by her; but ahe appropriated the monna present ed to her, and trunted that they would aucceed. Meeting, on the very firat evening of bin arrival at the chateau, with a repulse, gentle, though firm, from Helen -a disap pointment to hopes long, yet doubtfully, cherished; and feeling that the dejection and unhappiness which he felt would, if observed, draw upon him the attention of tliow about him, he endeavored to con ceal all evidence of Ills feelings under a calm exterior, and to evince as much In terest in affairs alamt him as waa possi hla. He found himself thrown daily Into thè society of Rose Lainonte, often by chance, oftener by Helen's own ageucy. He admired her beauty-her Innocence and grace, had a charm for him.
