lieu her Those who had hod despaired of her once were In raptures at tile the change A restless feverish gayety had taken possession of ar the thc young duchess Sho talked that evening so brilliantly so amicably amica amica- bly 1113 to her her- husband that ho Avns more than ever enchanted She Sho Was gracious graci graci- Otis ous anti condescending to every one the tho reason was u-as although sIte she perhaps perhaps per per- haps neither admitted nor knew it that lint she sho was about to see him again She had miscalculated her strength this beautiful woman with the pas pas- loving lo heart Ilo life luaU had been a simple and uneventful one until un an- til ii she tact met Lord Lorti Carow arid and the whole love lovo of that strong grand nature was given to him She was wan the only daughter daugh ter of ot the Count Di Dl who lost his fortune anti and life in the civil wars that rend tear the heart of unhappy Spain SIte She was uva-s left alone in the world at the age of fifteen and time the only friend she had was a distant relative living in London London n a lady related to the young mother She after a fashion fash ion of lieu ier own adopted Juanita She saw that she would be he a magnificently beautiful woman and anI SilO she spoke very plainly to her Those who live in Iii the world anti and would keep any position In It she sho said Sll must be he of the

years year but she was in heart and soul soula I a woman How she oved him him no i words could now tell all the lime passion the tho genius the lie tenderness the lire liro of Spain's sunny daughters seemed to toI I concentrate itself upon him She loved him with lilt a worship that hint frightened fright fright- cacti ened herself she had no fear in doIng do- do In Ing so o. o Her aunt as she called Mrs St. St halt told her that he lie would one day dav ho Lord Carew of and that iho t she could not do better than marry nim On his part Allan loved her after a fashion lie thought her time the most beautiful anti graceful girl he hail had ever met hut but ho did not make her any offer of marriage nud before he lund had time to do so his father died cLed and ho he found from his fathers father's will that unless he h. married Adelaide Carlton Corlton he was There was nothing for it It then butt but butto to give up his beautiful and when the time came for parting with her he found out how much and how well ho he loved her To him the tho parting part part- jug ing was painful but to her the brilliant bril brIl- young beauty who loved him with such passionate worship worship worship-it It was more hitter than death itself SheI She Sho I was too proud lo to make any sign The daughter of a grand old race I the cavaliers hoes does not cry even when wounded unto death sh she said t I Mill live lIVO and livo it down She did her best to forget him She tact mot the duke thike of Ormond who admiring admiring ad ad- miring her grand young beauty asked her to be hc lila his wife That was when she made lations as to her own strength She SheI j I thought she could Couill livo without love loveI love love- I engrossed In fashion gayety magni anti luxury She thought herself herself her her- self strong enough to dispense with nil all that woman's womans heart holds most dear ilear anti and she was not Time The duke was n a very grand courtly stately gentleman very dignified and kind She admired his lofty hearing and rather liked him than otherwise th But of love e she sho had not the least no no- Lion tion Ho lie asked her to marry hint him and ani she knew that hint If she waited waltel twenty years longer she would never have such another chance So sho consented She was to be im Duchess of Ormond She would be mistress of these magnificent estates and Ormond House sOld said to be he the most magnificent cent mansion In London Tier Her dresses Jewels carriages anti and horses hordes would be lie envied by half England What more can I ant A ant she asked herself I I should be foolish lo to re refuse refuse re- re fuse such advantages as an these She Sho knew that if Allan Carow Carew would mild have havo sacrificed his Inheritance for foi her sake she would gladly have embraced poverty for his his but then he had not mentioned such a thing He lie was vas married and her heart seemed dead Why not then marry the duke and try to ho as happy as possible with tho line fine advantages life still held for her Mrs St. St Clair was delighted You have done even better than I anticipated antici antici- Nita she sho said No one knows what the future holds for you Silo Sho knew it held nothing hut but the ashes of n a dead leatI love but true to her pride she never mentioned Lord Carcas name and Mrs St. St Clair Chair al always always al- al ways believed that she lund had voluntarily given him up for the duke They were married anti and a grander wedding certainly never was celebrated hut but on that very day las the duchess found out outher outher her mistake Tho Thie duke not only admired her hut but ho lie loved her very vary dearly If ho he hail had remained as sho was thov might have passi through If it not happily but he lie loved his wife very naturally expected some little lovo zu In return She had none noni to give him Ills His loving words were most distasteful to her she sho shrunk from nl his silt she never eared cared about being left alone with htmAt him At first he haul had looked upon all this as pretty girlish shyness and hail had loved her the better for her coy distant dis ant tant manner But at last he began to wonder vonder if there was sas anything else In It if the beautiful young wife whom he had so royally endowed were tired of hint him The Tho time was to come when ho he would understand it nil all Until this lila present time she had never much of seeing Allan Carew again it did not seem probable that they would meet Tho world Is very large and amid they who had once been all in au all to each other might never meet again Butt But now he lie was here in London and they would probably meet macat every tIny day Wild deep rapture thrilled her heart as site she such rapture that If she hio had known what she was doing she would have gone gono on hot hei knees and prayed to God to keep her soul from deadly peril She Sho was to see him anti and not net only him hut but his wife the fair woman he he- had married What strange fate mode made them rivals l 1 wonder what site she Is like thought the young oung duchess I wonder If It he loves her bettor than ho he loved me I will outshine her I will make him acknowledge that ho has not married the fairest woman in the world 1 I. will make inake him tell me that he Is Is- sorry sorry sorry-nh ah so sorry that he lid did not prefer poverty aral me I 1 wonder If he lie will look at me with any of the theold old olti love in his eyes ejes If ho will remember ber mei ns as he looks at me how I loved him him nh ah dear heaven how lioi I loved him You are so deep In reverie my dear Juanita that you do not even hear me rae said lie tho duke with a aShe sm I he She looked up and he lie saw sau time the vague dreamy expression of her hem beautiful eyes that her imer thoughts hail had been far ay a that she had been Ioen in some other world a world of bright fancies amid ami sweet Thoughts to which he alas was quite a stranger I I beg your pardon she sho said gently I 1 was thinking of something Lady Indy Montfalcon told me What were you saying I asked you if It you Intended going to the tho grand ball given 1 by the ambassadress am after the drawing room I should like you to go if you do not think it will fatigue you You will meet very ery nice people there A sudden idea lilea occurred to her perhaps per her Imps haps he would Mould bo ho there and slit slit- would have an opportunity of talking to him She Sho looked ut at her husband with Ith more eagerness and anxiety than he haiti had ever seen in her face ace before I should like to go very much shin sho saul said anti and you you you-you you will go of of- course 7 He lie the soft white hand baud lo In his hi lips V I am am only too ton happy to

would she sho see him bun on ecu the morrow and Would ho Ito speak lo to her of the ito olden time yet so fat far dis tant when they had been so much to toI leach I each other It to her that teat 1 morning would never come It was u-am not for tho ulmo presentation she longed so eagerly not to see tIme the Gracious Lady whom every ono one reveres but lo to see ste Allan Lord Carew ant and lo to find out whether he lie remembered lice hur or oror oror or whether ho he loved the woman who u-ho held the place she would hove have died to hold To Morning |
