Lillian Ames stood leaning against the easement of nil open window lending on ton sloping lawn, at whose base flowed a sun ny, rippling stream of water. It was one of England's fairest scenes on which her eyes rested, and she was one of England’s fair est daughters. Even at this mo ment, spite of the tact that her brow is gathered in a frown, and the full red lips are unmistakably pouting, her beauty is undenia ble. A few* bold spirits have declar ed there was little soul in the face; but the large, hazel eyes could melt or flush at will; the dark lashes shaded a cheek white as parian marble,with rarely even a touch of color upon its velvety surface, and the lithe, graceful figure even unconsciously asumed new grace in each unstudied poise until one forgot the question of soul in its perfect outward flesh and blood tabernacle. Near her, reclining on a low easy chair, sat a young girl of about her own age. At first glance the exquisite soul-loveliness of her face paled in Miss Amos’s more brilliant beauty, but there were more to love its pososor, and fewer to envy her. Some thing like indignation was in her voice, us she addressed her friend. ‘1 cannot believe that you mean it, Lillian,” she said. ‘You have been engaged to Oscar Dering ti year, and how can you say sc carelessly that your engagement shall lie broken—’ ‘Reg pardon!’ interrupted the flier, in low, ironical tones. ‘I Imve not been engaged to Oscar Dering twenty-four hours. It was to Lord Oscar Dering l gave my pledge.’ ‘Oh, but, Lillian, because he ins lost title and estate must lie also lose the woman of his love I flunk a minute. You surely will not give him up so easily.’ ‘Nonsense, Edith ! 1 am twen ty-one,’io longer a girl of an age to ive upon sentimentalism, lmt to ook upon the every-dav realities of life. When I engaged myself to Lord Dering, I was the subject of congratulation among all my friends. Now that the cousin who was supposed to be dead crops into life in some remote portion of the globe, and that Os car insists upon renouncing the property in liis behalf without even a struggle, I am not content to let these same congratulations lapse into pity.’ ‘Oh, Lillian, do you think any one could pity you for possessing so royal a gift as the love of such a man? Think better of it, dear. I know you care for him. Do not so lightly ronounce your life’s happiness*’ ‘You plead his cause eloquently, my dear, lieally, I did not know [ possessed a rival in my fair cous in. Perhaps a heart caught in the rebound—you know the rest, of course, and can point the mor al.’ ‘Lillian, you are cruel—cruel! I—’ Rut the late speaker had passed through the open window out of hearing, and advanced to meet a man quickly approaching on the greensward, while the young gir left behind fell back in her chair, the great tears coursing down her cheeks, on which the crimson col or signal flamed. It was as though some ruthless hand had snatched the veil from her own heart, leaving exposed its most cherished secret—a secret she had not known herself, until now betrayed by her shame, ( I must leave this place, I can not meet him again. I must go home ! Rut, oh ! how give him up ?’ Edith Loving and Lillian Ames were cousins, but the one was the daughter of a clergyman whose rectory was some ten miles dis tant from Aines Court, one ot the noblest estates of England, and of which Lillian was sole heiress.
