COLIN AND THECOUNTESS.
Lady Yarlclt got into a terrililo muilillo
on her way ilown to ttuy with some friends,
tlio Monlj'oys, of llcver castle. J-'irst licr
lugg.igo went all astray, then elio was seju
ratol from her maid, last of nil she was sent
acTOgs tho country ami landed at I'yking
ryehcrly, the small station of Hover, at the
wrong time. No ono had come for Lady
Varlett, and siio was naturally very crass.
"Going to tho castle? A lady going to the
castloY" eiio heard somo one say, and the
next moment a tall, straight-limbed youiij
fellow camo up to hen Ho was dressed lii a
suit of gray dittoes, had leather gaiters oh,
and carried a bundle of whip3 uudcr his
aria. .,,
" Como along. I'll cart you over;" ho
salit.
Lady Yarlett lootfefl a littia nskanco at tho
corivcyaucc. Still, this was better than
waiting for hours at tho station aloiiej and
sho suilered herself to bo hoisted up besido
llib driver, preparnt to do her penance with
tho best tcmiwr she could command.
" You'ro not A bad sort," said her iiew
friend, with nri abruptness which iifarly
knocked her off her perch; "worth a dozen
of tho other one!"
"Tho other oiiol" Lady Yarlelt was iu
amazement.
" Tho other rPald, of couise. You'ro Mrs.
Montjoy's new timid, aien't you? I could
see that wilh half an eye."
"And pray who might you bo?" Lady
Yarlclt asked In return.
"Anybody, if I choose. Jltit I don't
choose. I'm satisfied to bo bailiff and man
of business to Mr. Montjoy."
"Then I daro say wo shall fo'mellmee
meet In the housekeeper's room," said her
ladyship, rather an'iused.
They did meet that evening, but it was
not iu the housckeeiwr's hall. Lady Yar
lett was sitting, satuesquo and queenly, a
calm, regal beauty, magnificently arrrayod,'
by the drawing-room fire, when Mrs. MoriU
joy brought a young man to bo intioduoed
to her. A widow, rich, feted, admired on
every side, Lady Yarlett received homago
as a matter of right, and she only bowctt
now iu stately self-constrained fashion.
" Herbert Lloyd Lady Yarlett."
She lookod at him and startled. It was
tho young bailiff.
" Wu'ro still alone, you know, Esther,"
went on Mrs. Montjoy, "Tlio rest of the
guests do not oome for a day or two. Mr.
Lloyd is ono of ourselves. You must mako
no stranger of him."
" I have already had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. Lloyd. He droVo me over IroAi the
station."
" Really. I understood you' say it was
one of tho men."
THE JIO.NBYl.KO
" So Mr. Lloyd gavo Ine to understand
ho told mo ho was the baililf."
"Which (loisj very much tho bailiff,"
interposed Mr. Monljny, with a laugh;
"bailiff, general factotum, and right-hand
man. Lloyd's as sharp as a needle."
" I can bear testimony to his acutcness,1
said Lady 'Varlett, adding quickly, seeing
Herbert was rather disconcerted, "ho paid
mo tlio compliment to discover who I wa3
to-day ho vrns good enough to mistake ll'io
for tho new lady's maid."
Thero was a shout of laughter, wliilo oor
Herbert muttered something about appear
ances being so deceitful, and felt rather te-
grieved. Sho was a disagreeable woninh,
high and mighty, self-satisfied, vain; ho
would have little to say to her during Ttcr
stay."
They saw nothing inoro cf cadi other that
night or tlio next day ; but late in tho after
noon Herbert camo to her.
" Lady Yarlett, I Iiavo boon commission
ed to convey lo you a diro piece of news.
Illness of an alarming', not to say dangerous
and infectious, description has broken out in
tho house. Detr little Poppy has it, and
Monjoy. Wo havo to go into quarantine.
Tho expected party has been slopped, and it
is right you should know so at once, so as to
use your own discretion about leaving."
" Dear, dear, how terrib' 1 Of courso I
should prefer not to stop. Dut how tiresome
and vexatious 1 Whcro cau I go? Who
would reccivo mo ? Yarlett is let; tho work
men nro in tho town house. I hate lodgings
or a hotel. AVIiat am I to do ?"
" I really cannot presume to advise," Her
bert said stiilly. What were her troubles
compared to those which had fallen on her
friends?
In tlio evening he heard sho had resolved
to remain. They did not meet. Sho dined
up stairs in her own rooms; nor did she
show herself hcxt day, nor at any other
meal for sotuo ttmo to come. Busily occu
pied, Herbeit scarcely missed or gavo her a
second thought. Hut lo his surprise toward
tlio cud of tho week ho found her In the
drawing room dressed for dinner.
It was a curious kind of a tete-a-tete. Tho
butler was chaperon, but thero was no need
or thought of chalwronago; Iho pair were
so evidently at odds that some ono was
wanted to rather keep tho peaeo between
them.
" You've been in London, I suppose?" sho
asked.
" Once; at tho timo of Iho catllo show."
" How lonianlicl Ami did you livo up
Islington way and spend your tilno among
the fat tixen and jiigs?"
" No, Lady Yarlclt j I lived with thogeeso
and donkeys at tho west end."
" You can't know London not tho best
Loudon, or you would not talk like that.
What do you know of its pleasures and do
liglits, of Joachhn, of 15urne-Jones,of Ocorj'e
LMiot.drihohoiir?" " Very little, of course,and care less," said
Herbert, with on amused smile.
" Your horizon is bounded by your tiftr
low field ; your politics pivot upon tuniips
owl top-dressing; ydt'r literature is tho
Agricultural News Market Lano Express,
you havo no artistic preccptions, no true
senso of beauty, no transcendentalism no
subjectivity, no refinement, no taste."
" Quito so. Wo surrender ull pirlicu
larly tlio long wordsj which I don't pretend
to comprehend to you Londoners without
a pang.'
And how, for tlio first lime, Lady Yarlett
began to bo uncomfortably conscious thaf ho
was laughing at lief. It was qullo evident
that she made rio impression on him at all,
that her air aild graces, her assumed eiiori
ority, were thrown away on him ; that ho
was callous to her fascinations, indilfercnt
to licr charms. All this vexed and annoyed
her. Sho was piqued, put out ; to bo scorn
oil by nu uncultivated bumpkin, such as
slic 6till thought Herbert Lloyd, was very
galling lo her pride.
, He must bo made to suffer for liis sins.
l!ut ho gavo her no chance. As if scenting
Hanger, he avoided her obviously and stu
diously kept her at arm's length left tho
room when sho entered it, inado excusts
for not appearing it dinner,' spoke only a
few words ofgreetingof tho merest common
place when au unavoidable accident threw
them together. Siio began to fcel herself
ujion tlio mettle.
"Take my compliments to Mr. Loyd,"
tlio told tho butler ono morning, nftcr mut
ters had continued thus for somo days, nud
say that I should like to speak to him."
Tho butler camo back to soy Mr. Lloyd
was iu thojustice rooni.and very particular
ly engaged. The police Iind just brought in
a very serious caso of poaching.
" I'll go to him myself," sho said itefsr
miued to curry tho war at onco into tho
enemy's country ; and sho was shown to
Herbert's private sanctum, through which,
on tho inside, tlio justice room only could bo
reached.
She paused here. Tho place interested
her directly. A man's room, constantly
used, carries away tlio unmistakable im
press of its occupants tats. This was no
mere office it. was a studio ami library as
well. An easel stool near the window, and
on it a charming landscape in oils; a great
violinccllo caso lay in a corner ; there was a
jUano good picture al:o on the wall t-e?t-
cases crammed with books j, books strewed
everywhere about on tho tabhym thechairs,
on tho floor. Mr. Lloyd was a man of
letters, clearly an nrtist, n musician of
many accomplishments.
When Herbert cntcrod,ho found her lady
ship enconsed iu an arm-chair.
" I beg your ycraon for being so long,
iiady iarlett."
" Don't mention it. I found this pamph
let of which I havo heard so much. .Every
body ha3 been talking about it in town. It
is certainly amazingly clover."
" I am glad you like it. I wroto it.'
" You ? impossible, Mr. Lloyd ? Why ill
authorship was tho greatest mystery Inst
season.
" There's tho original manuscript," Eaid
Herbert handing her ft bundlo of closcly-
wriltcn sheets.
" I never was so surprised in lijy life,'
cried Lady Yarlelt, jumping up. "How 1
have mijudged you. I do feel ashamed of
myself. Can you ever forgivo mo?" Sho
placed her hand on his arms, and looked at
h.m with appealing eyes.
It was a triflo intoxicating, perhaps) but
ilorueit kept himself remarkably well.
" And I seo that you have other cultivated
tastes. Thatvioloncclloisyours? And. you
can draw and pamt ? Yuu are indeed some
tiling more than a mcro man of business,
bound up in commonplace official routine,
" Iiut I am bound to rAriitiho jiiVt now,
Lady iarlett. I must nsk you toexcusome.
My horso is at tlio door, and I must go my
rounds."
' Oh, may I go too ?" sho asked with al
most effusive eagerness.
It was a charming ride.
" I don't believe I over enjoyed nnythin;
so much before." A glow of peach-bloom
mantled on her cheek, and her eyes wcro
bright and glistening. "It was qui to per

sho added most graciously.
Aud they did meet, of courso. Sho camo
down iu black-velvet and pearls, radiant
and good-humored, witty, appreciative, def
erential by turns. Sho insisted upon their
trying a little music afterwards ,sho played
his accompaniments with Iwiftel judgment
and execution ; sho complimented him on
his voico till ho might have fancied himself
Stanley or Sims Itceves. When they parted
for tho night sho mado him a pretty curtsey,
and thanked him warmly for his efforts to
entertain her, and disappearing with asiniio
of triumph, as though certain ho would sur
render to her wiles.

On the plea of taking n lesson in tlio man
agement of her own estate, sho was present
when he held a leveo of the heads of depart

tho tilno of her departure drew near, and
still ho mado no sign. Hail sho failed
utterly ?
"Mr. Lloydyour penanco will soon bo
at an end. I go tho day after to-morrow."
Lady Yarlett gave her voico a eu'blo inflect

less wary man.
"Yos?"ho asked, with civil but pUrcly
formal concern.
"Are you sorry J" , '. i .

" At lost, c't last!" she uid lo herself, her
eyes dancing with delight, as she drew her
self up proudly, like theeoiiqueror receiving

' Because f.ir somo time past I have ljei
passing through a great and painful ordeal,
and I havo scarcely known how ii would

you say nave passed to pleasantly for you,

There was a long pause. t
" You havo taught mo a .lesson," Lady
Ynrlett said ut length, with downcast eyes,
and in n qufot voice, though her hands
trembled violently, nnd showed she was fur
from ealpi, "a terriblo lesson, which doubt

"You speak very confidently of my friends,
Lady Yarlc'tt)" Herbert said, with a queer
smile. "Eo you know many of them?"
'One I know intimately and well; ono
who wishes you every success in life, who
beseeches you to go out into tho great world

"That is indeed a truo friend. May I
kno(v who it is?;' , ,
"I'oumust guess," sho said) in a very
low voice, as sho blushed deeply and tears
trickled down her face.
Tho next moment ho had caught her in
liis arms and was kissing her with passion
ato eagerness-rher hair, her mouth.
"How daro you, Mr. Lloyd, how daro
you ?" i y
"It is entirely your own fault) jjad'y Yar

" In guile, only; not in years. But I liavtj
