"Don't be cross, .leie; it spoils the

The pretty brunette put her little
glovt! hand to her heaL, and patted her
dark, curly fringe as 1 ie said:
"Just look at the rain, I wonder the
bonnet is wt h-poilt, :md auntie gave
two guineas for it at Fiise's."
Bob looked with hvter'-t at the sort
of bended cap that was made entire! v of
peai Is, with just a knot of deep crim
son velvet to fasten it under the dim
pi oi chin.
Jessie Vennimoro was as prettv a girl
as one could ih;d in a dav s march, tall

bust, slim waist, an 1 all the graceful
curves of Thoi w ,ii1m n's Venus. Just

Bob lUiynor saw her relenting, and I
eagerlv clasped tlie little hand in his, i
while lie leant 1 rward and sealed his
peace upon her vivid lips in a lingering
kiss. ' !
"Oh, Bob. suppose someone saw you." ;
"Xot bkelv, love; I itit if anvone did I
envy would be their po;tiun."
Splash, splash, beat. beat, came the j
rain, as they stood beneath the archwav :
of the. old palace for shelter, till the i
courtyard was full of glittering pools, :
and Jessie's tilit Newmarket coat was ;
damp with the drifting rain-drops. '
ltseemsnatur.il to fall into silence I
while watching the tears of the sky j
fall to freshen the earth, which it j
soothes more when it weeps than when i
it smiles.
Bob's proud, loving yes were eacrer- i
ly drinkin j in the pensive beauty of his '
sweetlieri-t's looks, and feeling his fond !
regard she looked up. flushing into !
fresh loveliness bent.-ath his ardent '
gae. !
"Bex has come home. Bob dear." !
'"lias In?, pet? 1 am sorry for that. I
do hop.- e v. ill not persecute you with
las unwelcome attentions as he did last
'uo.' Jt is nnwelo-iiic still, is it not,

"You know it is. I would give ten
years of my life to be rid of his md
love-making, it makes me wretched.
Do you know. Bob. sometimes, though
I know how silly it is, 1 feel afraid f
l:im; he is so lierce, so relentless and
untiring."
i' lwish I could take yon away from
them, darling, and keep yon to myself.
It maddens me to know that you are
exposed to your cousin's cruelly covet
ous love. 'vYhen the year is out I hopo
to be able to ask you to throw in your
lot with mine, darling, to be my precious
little wife. Do you think you w ill care
to come?"
"Need you ask me that. Bob?"
"No, I don't think 1 need. y-t it is so
sweet to hear you confess your love
that I can't resist the temptation to
make you own it. Say you love me,
Jessie."
"I love you dearly. Bob." answered
the girl siinpiy. with her radiant dark
eyes earnestly answering tho love lizht
in his.
"When will you meet me again, lady
bird? Bet it In-soon, and try to stay
tanirer with me.'"
"I will meet von by the river close to
the railwav bridge, to-morrow evening
at nine, if "I can get rid of Hex."
"Hang Bex! say you will come.
Where there's a w ill there's a way, you
know, and a woman is always full of
resources: you can be a cunning litt'o
rotrue when you like, little woman."
"Well, then. I will come, even if I
have to run away from Ilex and rouse,
his evil temper. He has got a temper;
it makes auntie quake as though she
were the earth and he a slumbering
volcano. See, the rain is over now. and
I declare there's a splendid rainliow.
What glorious colors! One end dips
ritrht over the house-tops yonder."
Jessie drew Bob out of the archway,
and ihey stood a second looking at the
broad expanse of sky with the vivid arc
of promise crowding it with jewel tints.
".Let me see you to tho foot of tho
hill, pet. for I suppose you must he off.
i It's nearly six o'clock and 1 know you
! dine at seven."
, "Yes, I must go. dear, but I wish you
would not come any further with me;
! we might meet Bex, and it would only
cause a useless quarrel and upset auntie
who is not at all well now."
"Oood-bve. then, my own darling; I
. shail count the hours till we meet
again." ,,. ,
Mtood-bvp. Bob dear. Mind, you
' must not liirt with Miss Fisher, for my
, sake."
"I never did flirt with her. my queen,
only in your jealous imagination. I
! respect her too mm h to make sport of
: her w ith love which should be a wom
: nil's reliirion, a good gift from her pure
heart that should be rewarded by an
' equal return, and even if you did not
exist I couid net love Audrey Fisher,
though she is a dear, good, jolly little
I soul."
"Ah, find a beauty."
, "Not w lien you are by, .Tf?;jo; you
know that.
"Nonsense, you

you ion t auiniro
But now. really I
must tro: let tro mv bands
I won't tail,
to-morrow night at nine. Good-bye.'
"Oood-hvP. sweetheart."
Bob lifted his hat. and stood a second
looking after toe graceful, girlish f gure
that thtted so soon out of sight.
Then he sighed an J set l is iaee in the
opposite direction. 1 wa:' d swiftly
till be came to a quiet str, , where the
houses had a respectable old-world look.
In the centre of the wide t n I , s :tnd
ing back, as though in ibgni;iid re
serve, from its lesser neighbors, stood
a handsome red-brick mansion called
The I'onl.irs.
The hall door was w i le open, and
guarded by a i.oble bloodhound.
Dr. Kavnor smiled as the hound
sprang out to welcome his master.
A momentary pride of birth i,nd hi?
old home sw tiled Bob's heart as he
looked i:p at the glinting windows and
toll trees.
Bob entered the shadowy hall where
stained windows made pa'.i lies of bright
color.
A pretty pale cirl came out to wel
come him a girl with his own open,
honest look, and the same candid. ucvp
set. dark-f tinged grey eyes.
"I expected vou home to four o'clock
tea. Bob."
"Did you, dear? I am sorry I could
not come. I was detained. Have you
been lonely?" ' -

"What on earth did ho want Ja ce?"
"1 don't know: lie m i le him-, 'it very
pleasant, and went away with Au b't y.
Are you vexed, dear?"
"Not vexed exactly, only I can't quite
understand this sudden friendliness on
Mr. Vennimore's part. Berhaps he
fancied he should find Jessie here."
"Dear Jessie; I wisii she could come,
Bob. I miss her dreadfully, but I sup
pose it is better she should stay away if
it is her aunt's wish."
Brother and sister had entered a
rose-scented parlor, a quaint apartment
with painted windows, dark-panelled
walls, with a look of sombre grandeur
about it.
A big china bowl, full of spring flow
ers, stood in the centre of an inlaid ta
ble, and beside it a shabby velvet
lounge-chair with cosv cushions.
Bob sank into it wearily: lie had been
up half the nisxht before, and his round
had tired him that day; a sudden op
pression of spirits had come upon him.
Violet kissed his hot forehead fondly,
then rang a bell which summoned a
neat handmaid.
"Have you any hot strong tea in the
kitchen, Susan?''
" Yes. miss."
"Then bring Dr. Rayrior a cup at
once, please."
"You need not have troubled about
me. Violet; I am only a little tired."
"Yes, dear, and the tea will refresh
yon."
Dr. Baynor took the tea and drank it
gratefully, thinking all the while of
Jessie's loving looks as she turned to
smile upon him at parting.
, Meanwhile. Jessie had hurried up tho
lull, and was met hall-way up by her
cousin Hex, a handsome, gipsv-faced
. ..1,

where she had been.
"For a waik." she answered.
"What, in the rain?"
" h, I stood up."
"Where?"
"What can that matter to yon. Bex?
Yon quest ion all my actions as though
1 were a child."
"So you are a child, a pretty perverse
child, whom one cannot help loving,
even when one knows he is a fool for
his pains."
"1 am not a child. Why, I shall be
twenl-one in Octulter."
"1 w uiity-one. and your own mistress;

"Of course I am. Why should I not

"Jess, you are a wicked little witch;
you rouse me out of myself as nothing
else can."
"That's a blessine: vou'd better le
anything than yourself. Ah, here wo j
are. and auntie looking out for us." j
"it was a large house on the hill, and j
a lint; faded face appeared at one of the '
open wuidi vs above a box of inignon-
eite. Mio smiled as Jessie waved her
hand, and hastened on to run up the
steps and be in before Bex. i
"I was afraid you would cet wet, j
dear." said the Honorable Mrs. Yt.mii- j
uiinore. as the girl brushed her fore- ;
head with her cool, fresh lips. !
No, auntie, I am not wet. Are you
not ready for an hour's drive; ifs bo
delicious out now?"
"I shall not go before dinner, dear,
there's no time; I was just geiing to
dress. I had a nice doze, when I w oke
up I sent Bex to find yon. Had you not
better eo to your room? Yon have but
half an hour to dress, dear, and you are
such a lazy puss that will hardly give
you timo to smooth your hair."
With a feeble sigh and a faint flutter
ing of her huge feather-fan tho old lady
sailed majestically out of the. room, a
mass of expensive mUliiiery and hardly
existing life.
Bex entered as Ids mother made her
exit, and crossed quickly to Jessie's
side. She bad begun to pull off her
long gloves and would have followed
her aunt had be allowed her to do so,
but with a covetous sigh he put his
hands on her stroulders and smothered
i her beautiful lips with lierce, jealous
caresses.
"I low dare you. Bex?" she said,
shaking herself free indignantly.
"What harm is there in a kis3, cous
in?"
"A great deal of harm when your
kisses insult a woman you should" re
spect, she being under your mother's
guardianship, and cannot get away
from your unwelcome attentions. I de
spise "you for your unmanly Ireedom."
"Oh. I know how you hate me, but
my power over your future is gigantic,

advantage."
"It is brave to make war with a wom-
I an. is it not? l et unequal as the battle
will be, I feel sure that the victory will
b mine. Please let me pass."
"Not until you have kissed me."
"Then we shall wait here till your
mother returns, for I will never kiss
vou of my own free will. I loathe the
Verv contact of yonr lips, you know
that, yet you are mean enough to force
vour caresses uion iue. Oh, I hate you
for it!"
"Your hatred shall turn to doting
someday, Jessie, if there be use in
sticking' to one purpose with all one's
soul and strength."
."It is a poor strength and a black
soul that can torture a woman as you
torture. But thank God it is only for a
few months more, then I shall ie be
vond your ma lice. Ah, that is risht,
let me go. 1 feels as if I could forget
the softness of my sex and strike you,
cur that you are!"

"Mother, I believe Jessie meets Dr.
Bavnor daily. You must take her

be fore the year is out, by fair means if
I can, if not, by foul. We are her only

"But I will not be content, ma riirre,
so w hy worry me with such prosy talk?
I want the girl as much as her money."
"Just because you have been denied
both. It was ever so with you from
childhood. Well. I hope, yo'ur plans,
whatever they are, will not bring you
into trouble."
"Do vou mean to help me. mother? I
warn you that if Jessie is not my wifo

"Don't say that. Bex. I d rather seo
you in your "grave than bound to that

"She is not wicked, only just as de
liciously naughty as she dare be, and
the jolllest little wretch in Fngland. 1
wish all women were such good com
pany. Here comes Jess; not another
w ord of Dolly as you love me."
Mrs. Vennlmore sighed as Jessie en
tered, her cheeks still crimsoned by re
sentment. She was tastefully attired
in a Hack la-e dress heavily beaded
with jet: the bodice, cut square, showed
her white neck and left bare Uer beauti
ful arms.
Crimson poppies nestled behind her
tiny ear. and a broad sash of the same
, -i - .i .1.. ...
deer red kept her skirts in place
Bex thought he had never seen her
look more lovely, and he tried hard to
win forgiveness for his rash and ill-advised
freedom; but in vain, she was
barely civil, and that only out of con
sideration for h v aunt who looked
worried and weary.
Dinner passed in moody silence;
when it was ended Bex brought an Bast
em w rap and aked Jessie to go out on
the balcony with him as he w ished to
speak to her.
Fearing, for his mother's sake, to
rouso his rough temper again, she con
sented, placing some red roses in her
bosom as she went.
Mrs. Vennimore took up a novel with
a sigh of relief, and watched them as
they stood on the moonlit balcony look
ing towards the silvery Thames.
Bex lighted a cigarette, and between
the puffs, said in that cool tone of his:
"I'm sorry 1 vexed you to-day, Jess,
but you fire a fellow s"o with your dis
dainful beauty, that one loses his head
before he knows where he is."
Jessie's lip curled, and her thoughts
flew to one man who never lost his
bead, but was always steady, true, reli
able and tender.
Bex, not noticing her silence, said:
"How beautiful the river looks to
night; will you be sorry to leave it?"
"1 .leave it"! What do you mean?"
"I mean that 1 intend to take my
mot hei aw av for a while on account of
her failing l.ea'.th, and, of course, as
you ;ire under her guardianship, you
w ill accompany us."
Jessie IV it as though an icy band bail
clutched about her heart. To leave
Bichmond and be taken away from
Bob's protecting prc-ence hail never
entered her heat!. It was too horrible,
all her boasted courage seemed to de
sert her.
liex saw her consternation, and
laughed a mocking laugh as he said:
" You don't seem to relish the idea.
Jess, but you must submit for once; the
journey cannot bo delayed on any pre- ;
text.'" ;
A feeling of despair and defeat came
upon Jessie. It wanted but a few ;
months to her frM-dorn. yet what might 1
not this man's evil strength compass in (
that time?
She knew how vain it was to struggle j
against his decision when it had once j
been fixed upon. Her aunt too was but
a tooi in his hands whom he could use ;
to his own purpose: Jessie knew she j
must submit, so she sai l lightly: :
"One place will be as unendurable as i
another, it your society must he in- j
dieted upon Pie. When do we go?" i
"I have not yet decided; soon, at any i
rate, and considering you must submit
to my society, my pretty vixen. I should
advise you to do so w ith civility. Come,
be friends: I'm too fond ef you to be
on ill terms." j
Jpif. shuddered as he put his arm
round lif t" waist: she disengaged herself '
silently for she saw her aunt had fallen
asleep. ;
As she bent over the balcony the
roses dropped from her bosom to the ;
garden beiow; .someone s;:.iul;ng there 1
in the shallow tucked them '.; and j
pressed them to bis hps-, ui.ich were ,
white w ith p:ssion. for h had sf en Hex '
put bis arms about the won.au he loved j
with su'-h reverent, adoring devotion; j
saw, and dared not interfere for her j
sake. j
Still, he could haunt the house and I
keep an unseen, unsuspected euard 1
over her whom his heart le-ld dearer '
than life, his pure innocent girl-love.
Oh, it was horrible to think that she.
was compt.lled to live in the same house
with the man who pet -irufc l her so
cruelly, she who -was his. hi- very own.
by every law of love, and who was only
Separated from him for a few m nths.
Iloh longud to le'uo upon his rival and
fight for bis lady-love, hand to hand
with his loo, as knights of old have
done; passion liftM him out of his
workaday world and inspired him with
a desjre to defend his darling against
all the world.
But wishes were powerless, and he
knew he should but increase her trouble
by seeking to help her now.
So he waited with lu.t resentment
making a tempest in his mind, waited
till he saw Jessie outlined against the
yellow lamp-light, tho faint moonbeams
"ineieasing the pallor of her passionate
face; then h4 saw Mrs. Vennimore
come out and stand beside her niece.
A second later Bex brushed close by
him in the shadows, with his hands
thru.st ileep into his pockets, and pulling
a cigar f uriously between Lis teeth.
Something that was almost murder
ous moved Boll's usually cahu heart to
quicker beat ing, with a stern effort he
mastered his desire to quarrel with his
rival and stood st ill till he laid passed
out of sight; then, with a muttered
praver for his darling's safe keeping.be
went out into the white road and walk
ed hurriedly homeward.
A pleas.i',;. 1. 'iiiely scene greeted his
arrival in the q,;;-ii;t, pa n lied parlor.
Violet, with a u'iow of happiness light
ing up her pah' face, y.;it beside a cleri
cal looking Hercules, whose pleasant,
p'nhi face refected the happy content
of her?t. and making dreamy music
w ith i lle. w andering fancy was a lovely
w axen woman, bending her lh.xcn head
over the yellow keys of the sweet-toned
old piano.

Audi'cv san-g. and the woiils i-atik into
Bob's, fi'oi.be. d heart, the vii.g' 1 words
seemed to fold themselves about his
ponl and bring peace. No longer he
felt cruel resentment tear at his heart.
Walking beneath the quiet light of
the Mars. B- opened his heart to his
bister's friend and told her his trouble
and anxietv on .Ti --ie's Recount. He
did not dream that the -tovy of his love
for another sank like a poisoned arrow
into the quivering heart of tin? girl who
gave him ready and t home s inpathy.
"Of course Vour, suit was dismissed
so curtly. to make room for her cousin.
Do you think he leaves her, or is it only :
her money he wants?"
"Snch love as his can be but an in
sult, and I would to God the money
were his, for if it were not for that, my
darling could have come to me before.
1 have no need for it. I can earn a fair
income to what I already jKissess, and
it would be such happiness to feel mv
wife depended upon me foreverything."
"Money is a good thing. Bob, and you
can do with more than you have now, I
feel sure, but I hope in this case money
may not prove, as it so often does,
more a curse than a blessing. If it were
not for the money, perhaps Mr. Venni
more might have the grace tu retire and
leave the held clear to vou. But I do
not see that you need fear; if you are
sure (f a woman's heart you may In
sure of her, and the man cannot force
her to marry him against her will."
"I know that. 1 know be will never
win her but by fraud, but 1 feel as fu.l
of forebodings as an old woman."
"I wish Miss Yenmmore would let
me be her friend." said Audrey, thought
fully; "perhaps I might help ou both.
Will vou introduce me to her?""
"Of course I will; there is nothing I
desire more tlian to see you friends. I
w ill manage that vou shall meet soon.
1 am sure you will like Jessie exceed
ingly; she"is such an honest little fcoul,
and so terribly lonely."
"Ijonely!" repeated Audrey, after he
bad said good-night. "I-fOnely! and she
has his love! Were I so placed I should
not feel lonely, if but he and I peopled
the whole world. Oh, how shail 1 bear
my life? How mad I have been to fan

I wonder if I could help him? If sh
were onee married, who knowsVe.it that
I might catch my hero's heart at the
rebound. I know he likes me a little.
I will think about it. My love alter all
may net be quite hopeless."
At the appointed hour by the river
side the lovers met. The sj ring-tides
had Hooded the towing-path, and a
heavy shower had made the trees an
unsafe shelter; the rain-drops dnpped
unpleasantly, wetting the se.its and
making things generally uncomforta
ble. Jessie shivered beneath the hht
dust-cloak she, wore, and Bob, always
anxious for his darling's he:. 1th. sug
gested that thev should go to his ho is(.
for a while, so that she might not take
cold.
n th w av to The Bophtrs Jessie
told Bob of the proposed tour on her
aunt's account.
lie received the r.ews w ith evident
concern.
"I am afraid, darling, that your cous
in lias some plan to separate us. '..n
vou be brave .and re-ist him when ou
are far away from me? Can you keep
vour faith in me firm and unshaken un
der evil report? Oh. my queen, ruy
heart aches at the thought of parting.
I fear I know not what."
"Do not make trouble. Bob dear.
God knows there may be trials enough
without our suffering by auiieipatien.
You may rely upon my faith i:i .-.:
nothing thev can sav or do shall aht r
that. I will" keep true till you are dea l
or married. That does not sound nice,
does it? Yet it promises well. Only a
few months, Bob. and I can come to
you and say: 'Bob. take care of me. for
I love you inore than iiie.' "
"My" own dear love, I would that time
were come."
Bob opened the door with a latch
key, and removed Jessie's damp bat
and cloak for her in the hall, so that
she entered tl if well-lighted sitting
room neat and fresh as when she leit
her own apartment.
Violet welcomed her brother's baut i
ful betrothed warmly, and her bosom
friend, flaxen-haired Audrey Fisher,
came forward and With a winning
; smile professed herself charmed to see
i one of whom she had often beard such
kindly mention,
j The two girls made a great and p c
; turesque contrast standing together in
the centre of the quaint, sombre-tinted
! room, one glowing like an Eastern
! dream, the other pale and fair as a pic
; tured Magdalen.
All Jessie's nature received a shock
1 at the sight of her rival; she had hat -d
' the sound of her name, now she was re
: volted by the sight of her face. Some
' instinct warned her that for all the soft
I Yielding sweetness of her manner, this
i woman could love and hate with force
! and passion to be dreaded by a rival.
Something whispered to her that Aud
l rev hat.-d her and loved Bob.
t Audrey noted the erect carriage of
! the head, the proud curl of the sensi
; tive lip, and felt that for once her sweet
! seductive manner had tailed in its le
i sired ef.'ect. She foil assured that Jes
! sie neither liked or believed in her, yet
I slie ditl not show that she bad no-
ticed her rival's repugnance; on the
contrary, she was more charming than
! ever, and Bob thought Jessie must he

i Violet after a time drew her friend

i ternipted security. Violet could but
i notice bow restless and excited her
' friends had become, for Audrey's
cheeks were Hashed, and her eves
: brightened by an uncontrollable excite

An emotion of deadly envy and jeal-
1 ousv assailed her; she could nt endure
I thai the same roof should sl."U-r her
and her rival; she felt sue count no

And when she found an opportimiiy
she whispered to Bex:
"I want to speak to you alone; 10
letwiU leave us directly to warn her
brother of vour arrival."
A moment lat-T Violet did leave
them, and Audrey laid a white shaking
hand unon h:s arm.
Bex loo'io ! amazed at her emotion as
she w "hisncreii :

Violet pave her friend a grateful

"It was so good and ch-ver of Audrey
