Lueiinsr is possible in a, and I can fire a pistol with as much la I can use a sword. ' became passive under this threat, and tu lareo lustrous eyes were hxed upon ppeariug to fathom the secret depths of nermost recesses of her soul. y Carisbrook began to be afraid of this but after bis familiarity that evening wavs avoided a conversation with him. w days afterward Lord Curisbrook and -harles ivanaer were out shooting ler near the confines of the estate. By hide was the main road, and they sat upon a bank to rest while the keepers d out a slight repast they had brought Ithem. ldonly the noise of horses galloping ly alon the road fell upon their ears; this was mingled the clatter of wheels Khe cries of women, apparently in a ful states of alarm. Sir Charles Evandor was up in a moment, looking eagorly along the highway. 1'rrHcntly he behold a carringo drawn by two fiory horses, over which the torrifled coachman had lost all control, descending a hill at a rapid pace. Ho was just able to por ed ve that two Initios occupied the carriage, and then, without a moment's hesitation, ho raised his gun and shot one of the horsos dead, thus bringing the carriage to a stand still. It turned out that the lady occupants of the carriage More MrB. St. Aubyn and her daughter Lily, who were at once conducted to Caldecott Hall by Evander and Lord Cans brook. When they reached Caldecott Hall, the Mushing girl who was hanging on Evander's arm at once attracted Lady Carisbrook's notice. A pang shot through her heart. "What," she exclaimed to herself, "ami jealous ? Oh, it is absolutely necessary for my pace of mind that that man should leave this house." The plftasant party at Caldeoott Hall was soon broken up. The St. Aubyns returned to town, and Sir Charles Evander growing tired of the country and its amusements, made his excuse to Lord and Lady Carisbrook, and also sought the gay metropolis. Her ladyship felt very dull and miserable when the young baronet took his departure. She longed also to go to town, and soon made her husband acquainted with hor wishes. He was so satisfied with his country home and the sports he there enjoyed that he combatted the resolution; but in the end she gained her point. Caldecott was shut np, and the servants sent to town, to a house which his lordship's agent had taken for them, in a fashionable part of the West End. It was in Wilton Crescent, and they were not far from Hans Place, where the St. Aubyns resided. Her ladyship did not much care about them, because she fancied that Sir Charlos Evander paid the lovely Lily too much atten tion; but she was obliged to keep on friendly terms with them, because they were invitod everywhere, and she would meet them at all good houses. Sir Charles was soon made aware of Lady Carisbrook's presence in town, and ho laughed in his sleeve, for ho knew enough of women and their characters to understand that as he had gone away from her, she had fol 1 owed him. t The gentleman whom Lady Carisbrook mot, and to whom she talked about Sir Charles, did not give Evander the lest possible character. There were two friends of his, Captain Vavasour and Mr. Frederick Mor daunt, the latter of whom was constantly at the St. Aubyns', and at all places where he thought he should meet Lily, and this con duct of bis was not at all surprising, for he loved her passionately, though she had not in any marked measure encouraged the prefer ence ho exhibited for her. Mr. Mordaunt had taken a strong dislike to Sir Charles Evander ever Bince he first met him at Hans l'lace. The attitude which the latter assumed towards Lily convinced the jealous mind of the lover that he was in love with her, and that she did not object to his admiration. Mordaunt's affection for her was so sincere that if he could not win her him self, he wished to see her married to one who would insure her happiness, and this he felt certain Sir Charles would not do. He could say nothing to either Lily or her mother, be cause they would acouse him of an interested motive in vilifying a man he had treated as his friend. To Lady Carisbrook, however, he was not so reticent. He told her his opinion of the baronet, though there was no tinge of acri mony or malice in what he said. He spoke his mind f reoly, with the air of one who was fearless of the consequences and knew that he was uttering the truth. Lady Carisbrook had invited this confidence on the part of Mr. Mordaunt and Captain Vavasour, but when she had gained it she was displeased with them for running down one whom she liked, and one occasion said, with some asperity: "If Sir Charles Evander is such as you des cribe him to be, I wonder that you associate with him." "For my part," replied Mr. Mordaunt, "I can answer that x have lor some time ceased to do so. I am coldly civil whenever we meet, and he must know that I do not class him among the number of my friends. " 'That must be a great deprivation for Sir Charles, Mr. Mordaunt," said her ladyship. "But I hope to meet you in a more forgiving humor at Mrs. St. Aubyn's reception to morrow evening. I shall be clad to see you both there, as I have bo few friends in town. Carisbrook leaves London for a week to morrow morning, to se after his poor dogs and horses, about whom he frets so much." The party given by Mrs. St. Aubyn, to which her ladyship had alluded, was merely a reception, visitors dropped in as they liked, went from group to group, chatting first with one, then with another, and took their do parture, when it pleased them, without any ceremony. . Lady Carisbrook made her appearance about ten o clock, superbly dressed, and al most the first person she met on entering, after having spoken to her amiable hostess, was Sir Charles Evander, whom she thought had never looked handsomer. "This is kind of you," he exclaimed. "There is no one worth speaking to here, and I was getting awfully bored. May I in quire where Carisbrook lsf "Did you not know that he had loft town?" she replied, showing her pearly teeth and fluttering her fan. "I am quite alone, do not know what I shall do with myself." "I am acquainted with married women. answered Sir Charles, twisting his moustache, "who would not consider such an occurrence a calamity. They would glad of a little relief from the presence of their lord and master. "That is charming," said Lady Carisbrook. eagerly. "You will tell me what those ladies did, will you not t Tlease do take compas sion npon and tell me. "With the greatest pleasure, rejoined bir Charles Evander. "I must premise, how ever, that my ladies were not of the senti mental order. They did not look upon hus bands generally as an unqualified good, and they enjoyed their freedom by Buch innocent little amusements as giving dinner parties to an intimate friend or friends. I have had such an invitation myself; a box at the theatre has diversified the proceedings." "Excellent," , exclaimed Lady Carisbrook, "I nm sure that I cannot do better than follow such a capital example. Will you favor me with your company at my house to dinner to morrow at 7, Sir Charles '(" "I shall be most happy," he said. ' Lily St. Aubvu came up. and they were separated; but Lady Carisbrook had made the engagement, calculating upon her husband's absence, without meaning any harm, though she ought to have known that it was wrong to do anything which she could not tell his lordship. The greater part of the day was passod by her in buying flowers in Covent garden, and making preparations for a charming little dinner, such as would at once display her taste and the resources of her establishment. In the afternoon nho went to her bod-room I to lay down and rest for an hour. She wa ' tired. It hnd been quite late when she loft Mrs. St. Aubyn's, and not used to such hours, she found it difficult to recover from the fatigue which they occasioned. To her surprise she was disturbed, as sho was about to cIoho her eyes for a refreshing sleep, by a knocking at the door. "It is only I, Emily," said a voico, which she recognized instantly. "Good gracious, my husband! What brings him back? Can he suRpoct?" sho began, when her speculations wore out short by the entrance of Lord Carisbrook, who caught hor in his arms and kissed hor ten derly, and cried: "Hero I am again, doarest, sooner thau you expected. Ah, what is this? You do not seem so pleased to see me as I thought you would be. lou inghten me. 1 was naif asleep, and my nerves aro a little weak. 1 was at Mrs. St. Aubyn's last niiht till late," she answered. rubbing her eyes, and sitting on the odgo of the bed, wrappod as she was in the capacious folds of a pink drossing-gown. "But what brought you away from Caldecott in such a hurry i A relative of mine who mado a fortune in India, became eccentric, and lived in Lon don under another name is dead, died yes terday, in fact, and his solicitor has written to me to nay that he has left me the greater portion of his wealth." "I here is nothing very interesting about that," her ladyship said, "we have as much money as we want already. Is that all that has brought you up in such a hurry ? As for me, l would not have gone across the street for such news." "You have very strange ideas," replied Lord Carisbrook, with a tone of disappointment. "iou were sorry at seeing me, and now you don't care for the legacy. "I do like people to bo exact and con sistent. Your return has destroyed my pro jects of independence for a week. I was going out to dinner to-night, and "What is to prevent you i interrupted Carisbrook. "I havo engaged myself to the solicitor, and shall very likely stay late talking over matters with him. I shall not be home till twelve certainly, so you can go where you like without paying tho slightest attention to me." Imprinting- another kiss upon her lips, Lord Carisbrook took his departure, called a cab, drove to his club, and told his friends of his good fortune, and ordered dinner. Iter ladyship determined to be brave, and receive Sir Charles Evander, though prudenco dictated the adoption of a very dm er out course. It happened that Sir Charles was more con siderate. He belonged to the same club as Lord Carisbrook, and met him there in the afternoon. "How do?" he said. "I thought you' a hundred miles away in the country." At Caldecott, replied his lordship. "I have only just returned. Business brought me back. It was a great pity. I nevor saw finer woathor for shooting." Sir Charles went to the writing-room, and wrote a letter to Emily, in which he said that ho hod met her husband, and hoped she would, under the circumstances, excuse him for breaking his engagement, as ho had no wish to meet Carisbrook, and he sincerely trusted that this evening alone was only a pleasure deferred. In the hall he did not see Carisbrook, who was putting on his hat, and he said to the porter distinctly in his lordship's hearing: "Give this letter to a commissionaire, and let him take it to Lady Carisbrook's, Wilton Crescent." These words fell like a thunderbolt upon his lordship, who, half-stupefied, watched Sir Charles re-enter the club. He was himself going for a stroll round St. James' Square, in which his club was situated, to get an appetite for dinner, and changing his mind, he put down his hat, and extending his hand to the porter, said: "Give me that letter; it's for my wife, and I can deliver it, Most probably Sir Charles Evander did not see me, or he would have asked me to take charge of it." The porter did as he was requested; and Lord Carisbrook, fuming like an angry lion, went upstairs to the smoking-room to read the letter at his leisure, unobserved and unin terrupted. Its contents astounded him. They, indeed, were calculated to throw suspicion upon the conduct of any woman, and if a man had' plunged a knife into his heart, he would not have felt more exquisite pain than he did in reading this compromising letter of Sir Charles Evander's. "This is terrible!" he muttered, wiping the perspiration, which had gathered on his brow in great drops, away with his hand. "No wonder Emily was not anxious to see me. This is how she enjoys her independence. But the affair cannot rest here. It was, in deed, an unlucky day for me when Sir Charles Evander crossed the threshold. Bitterly shall he repent his treachery. I must kill that man, or he shall kill me.
