The name of Patterini seemed to _its female owner singularly adapted for a noble prefix; the wbrd Mrs. in con ne4lon with it appeared Ito her a waste, a pathos, like a handle of bone prefixed tolti silk Parasol; it had, a certain Sorman ring about it; and even 'if it was Greek (as was the faet), the modern Greeks, as Cyril Clarke assured her, resemble in their preda tory habits the ancient, ..NOrmans .Mrs. Patterini -did not knoW.. *fiat , ' predatory " meant, and she was 1-quite satisfied with ..the assertion., zshe bad the utmost confidence in ' Cyril,Clarke as a gentleman and a gentile ; for both these ylasses, to say the truth. were among her imme diate acquaintances,• rather scarce.

I am afraid Mr. Cyril Clarke did not share them. Ile thoroughly. understood his position at the Lodge, and resented the Baroness' treatment of him, as any man of spirit would. have done ; but` he loved. Myra qUite independ ently of het fortune—although he was not one to despise fortune—and he persevered in his attentions: I shall make no apologies fort;,what he afterwards did, for it Was ikidefensi ble ; but I must say that there were exeufies for him. A few years ago -it wai noised abroad that a great Eastern poten tate, the Shah of . Persia. was about to visit England.. Cyril Clarke brought the news, twenty=four hours before it was published in the papers, to Evelyn Lodge; one of. his mis- Mons was to bring the Baroness early intelligence, of all fashionable move ments, ;anti' he was very skilled in acquit.* it. But these . particular tiding§ibc . had learned from a friend of- bis in the Foreign Office 'under Pecilliar the - Pmstances., This gentle man had at one tithe. resided in Per and conkl speak its tongue, and he ,had. been:. sounded by the 'chief of his department, that very morning as to whether , in case his Imperial Maj esty y the Shah should:coine; he would -be• attached to his sacred 'Person while in England. News of this 'kind was meat, drink, and . clOthing to the Baroness. - If she Could only get his Ita l perial Highness :to'take any notice of her, that, would be bliss indeed, and Mr. Cyril Clarke actually gave her hopes of it. , He : thought it riot, impossible that thrbugh his friend in the Foreign (Alice the shali Might be induced, to believe. that Evelyn Lodge. was one of 'the centers of financial greatn4s, and .that such' it was worth his Mjile to visit it; the Persian ldan would certainly be all. Ott better :foe -the backing of Patterini k Co , while at ratterinrs mansion his Imperial Mtilesty would have the Opportunity of beholding a . type Of social life in financial circles', Cyril broke. this gorgeous project to his patroness with extreme cau tion, lest the vision of _greatness thus disclosed should be too much for her, and his prinienee was not misplaced. She: did .not,' however, faint, but she cried like 'achild, and 'wobbled, all over like a jelly. _ If you "-gasped she-- " if you brilllbis Imperial Highness the *Shah of Persia 'beneath My hum- )1e - roc& there nothiug-nothing h.lt I etin,(leoTtyou: You hAveconly o name your rewani."' _ • • Myra!" said Cyril, with his usual )62senee . of laud. The Baroness turned pale' and swalloed something in her throat; but she was not'one to go back from her word. " If the - Shah cons 110,e," •said she, " you shall haye Myra." CHAPTER IT. .The excitement eatised irr London by the arrival of the Shah of Peisia ;renter than that produced any other event since the visit of the allied monarchs of ' Waterloo. He was decidedly ‘.‘ the rage,"lfind ladies of fashion •were dying tO,irnake their :guest even for halt ;an hour. The Lord Chamberlain , 4 ‘ consigned him to this great housennd that, and very proud waS. the eOrignee when the precious article eatne,lto hand on loan. I think• the haiip'ieSt day of Mrs. Patterini's existence was that on which the.,ll9rning Post announc ed that MS Majesty the Shah' of . Per sia would, honor her reception at Evelyn - toidg,a on Tuesday neat with his,lroperiiil presence. - - From luir point of . view she, might wel be so, for his pi:kin - Ikea yisit,liad bri ken; down the barriers' between ilhip. self rend the highestln the land. I do not' know how-much she paid'to procure the honor, or in what propor- liar's the-bribe was divided between the g r entlemen in the Forei g n Office' and the ministers of the Shah, but I have heard that the expenseS of the entertainmeut:were -as nothing com- . pared with , what the acceptance of the invitation cost.' The -ball; • how ever, must have cost something; for 'in the lirstiplaee the Baroness "threw out" the drawing-min:a-so as to half over_the garden, and in the second she drove archikays through all the -partition walls, so that .the Whole floor should be .e zmile.' But What Were 'a- few ti-illing alterations in Evelyn Lodge when taken in con ,..neetion with . the .alterations in the feelings - of good society. As respected its mistress ? It is scarcely too much to say-that — for a whole week there, was no woman , in London more ." sought after" than the llaroness Patterini. She adopted hen rightful title On , the instant, and' issued her cards of invitation with a Baron's coronet eMbossed !Ton them-in blue, and silver. So far from.there Nina' any doubt of filling her largely in creased ball-room, her only-difficulty was to say 4 \o" to those of her own Ipersonal .arquaintances whose h's I were too. pronounced . (or unpro -1 flounced), and whoSep's Were obVi-• b's. .The whole fashionable wcild was at her feet. Ladies of title (English) intrigued for an invi tation ; the Duchess of Doldrum-sig nified through a certain lady, herself of distinCtion, that she Fould come 'she were asked. Her futurq_ hostess talked of her. from that mOment as • her "dear Duchess term which had more truth in it than hertrienda imagined who had not seen Mr. Pat: terini's cheek (drawn " bearer," , you may be sure), which -Cyril-Clarke had disposed of in thet. proper quar ters. . On -the day before the ball Cyril received formal news while break fasting' at Evelyn Lodge, that the 'SiMh's appointment would be • kept, and in her ecstasy the Baroness kissed him.'. . • " You are a duck and a darling," exclaimed. she; "and I don't wonder that our Myra is - devoted to 'you: I look Upon'you Trpin this moment as our son-in-law." ' • tinder these citennistances I think 31r. Cyril Clarke : was justifieCi in ratify-inn: the agreement by kissing Myra. l 'cit was - the first time he luvl ventured upon it—in pnblic—and the f- • --., . ' ~,!, ,- - t i ,-,,„, - - ... .. . . : . - young lady playfully remonstrated with him. " Remember, sir,. the Shah has not come yet." " Pshawl" answered Cyril; "he is as safe , as the bank." "And , I don't quite agree with you there," said the Baron, looking up from the newspaper in which-he v. as studying; the prospect of the Persiati . loan. . • "Cyril means he is Safe to come to-morrow. night," observed the Bar, oness, in explanation. "To tell you the honest truth, my dear," continued she, with frankness, ." if he had not come, I think it would have been the death of me. .When he has once been, I don't. care what happen's, Persia may burst .up, and the. Shah be bow-stringed on Wednesday niorn tug ; but he will, so to speak, have consecrated Evelyn 'Lodge forever; and the Duchess•mnst ask us; back again to Doldrutir House." , At that. moment a teleEtram—he used, to have one' about every half hour—arrived. for Cyril. What is it •abmit ?" asked .the Baroness; vxeitedly. " You Iq9k annoyed. Nothing ,has_ happened do hope!" and she held otit her hand for the missive. - But Cyril had 'ahead . ) , Ord it up. into small pikes. "It seeniii'," - said he,l" that Chibouks must be Provided for the Shah and all his Suite." ~ " What does that matter? . What are chihoulis?

Upon mY word, 'you look so queer that it gave me quite a ,turn." . . .
