BREAME. ci IA rr ten IV Hof ore two weeks had passed Vero nica was quite at homo at Queen's Chace. Lady Brandon, who had at first been Inclined to look upon the whole matter its a misfortune, now bogan to think ollie wiso. She thought to herself tiltil tho next season she would be more popular than ever. Sho would be motlier of one ol' the fairest blondes and chaperon of one ol I In most beautiful brunettes. She saw that thc two girls would hover bc rivals, their style differed so greatly; and she began to take great Interest In Veronica. She wont to.hoi' husband , and told him that she must have carlo blanche for Veronica's wardrobe. "lt ls all very well," said lier lady ship, "to look uko a picture; bot dress ing llko ono ls quito a different mat ter. Your ward must dress Uko ol her people, Slr Jasper. L suppose she can liave what money sile llkOsV" "Certainly," replied Sir Jasper, "she is an heiress, I nave told you. She must bc treated as one;" and soon af terward he placed in her hands a cheek for til ree hundred bounds. "We can arrange later on," he added, "about lier yearly allowance at present pur chase for her everything that she re quires." "Mer wants are legion." said Lady brandon; "she has literally nothing, except a few picturesque old dresses that would look very nice in an old curiosity shop." ?? Lady Brandon set to S\OM\< at once. She '.V.K.W too well ?.VY? OI?OCl ol dress to oller to ivansJAvrfu Veronica into a fashionable Lng tish lady. Everything she purchased was made aller some picturesque Venetian fashion, and Sir .jasper was pleased when lu? saw il. "You have preserved th?- unities." he said to his wife, willi one ol' those rare smiles that so altered i he expres sion of his face. As for Veronica herself, she could not understand such at tent ion. "All this for me!" she cried, w hen she saw tho lace, t he silks, I he vOlvOt s, tho thousand little elegancies thal make up a lady's toilet Ians and slip pers, gloves and sunshades. Then Sir Jasper brought her sonic superb jewels a set of rubies tba' suited her (lark loveliness, a sol ol cor?is and a suit of diamonds. Tho girl raised ber wondering l?celo his when he showed them to her. "Why do you do a ll t his for me?" she asked. fU> looked down at her. She was looking at him with dead Giulia's love Ht eyes. "Why?" ho repeated. ^Because I am your guardian. You will know moro some dav." She took his hand and kissed it in her strange, Impulsive fashion. "You are very good to me, and 1 am very grateful," she said. Hut it seemed to him that Giulia's lips had touched him, Me shrunk back, palo and trembling. "Never do that again, child," Ile said--"never again." She glanced at him quickly, not un derstanding. How should she? "Have I vexed you?" she asked. "I am sorry for you tire so kind." "You have not vexed me, Veronica," be said. "Why should youdiavodonoso? English people are unused to show ing emotion yours startled mc. i am pleased that you like the jewels. 1 shall boglad to see you wear I hem when your black dresses are ia id aside." Hy the tn ld*,! lcOf Deco iii ber Veronica was quito at home. How she loved Katherine! Silo had a strange, vague. Undefined sentiment about Sir Jasper -a feeling that CVCU she herself could not understand. She was grateful to Lady Brandon; sho would ba ve done anything for her. Hut il was Kathe rine whom she loved thc beautiful, dainty, capricious young heiress Katherine, who had been thc ll rsl love toher. There was something almost pathetic in tho way w hich she followed horabout and waited upon lier. She would ha vb sorved her utmost on lier knees. She watched her every look, waited for her every word. Lady Hrandon was amused by it. Sir Jasper was pained. Slu hud been Int induced t o mosi of their friends and neighbors; i he bea nt i ful Venetian girl whose bice was a study, whose voice was like music, was admired by all who saw her. She wdhi with Katherine io ali ibo hails, tho soirees, thc parties in thc neighbor hood where they reigned as queens, Thorc was no Jealousy, no ri valry be tween them. How could lhere he, when Veronica worshiped lier brilliant young sister. So Christmas came, and it was, as usual, kent up in right good Lngllsh style at Queen's Chace. IO vc ry man, woman, and child on the estate was the happier for Its anning, and richer. Sir Jasper was most liberal. Tho friends had Invited came, and amongst them was Aiton, Lord Wyn leigh, who had decided not to leave Queen's Chace until he bad won tho hand ol'Hs heiress.

"J want your love, your promise to be my wife, your trot h-plight. I want you, my darting to tie my own forever and over. What do you say?" Tho sweet (lushed face drooped be fore his, tho blue eyes could not meet lils own, thc sweet lips opened, but h. (I'd not hear tho faint whisper that came from thom.
