It is a beautiful river, | and the bri¢ must be light one.” Vane sat down, pencil in hand, to sketch a light beautiful structure thd ould yet have solidity enough to bear a whole regi- ment. It was interesting to watch the ra- pidity of his white fingers, the glow on his fac ud the light in bis eyes as his beau- tiful conception grew. He took the sketch to lus master when it was completed, and alinost- wondered at the emotion in his face. “You remind me of Quentin Matsys,” said Sir Raye with a smile. But bis pupil shrank from his words.— He Hked nothing that reminded him of bis gin. He had mixed in the highest soci- y and bad been treated as an equal by the noblest ia the land. He could not en- dure te remember what his home and its surroundings were like. He shrank with sensitive hurror from having his secret knowa. ‘To compare hin to “Quentin Muatsye”’ was to remind him that his origin was humble and obscure. Yet, like the true artist he was, he rejoiced in his mas. ter’a praise of the beautiful conception that had grown under his hands. “Lord Audley will be delighted with your idea. He isa man of great taste,” said Sir Kaye; and, without flattery, Vane, Lhave seen nothing so beautiful as this bridge.” So the letter was written and duly re- ceived by Lord Audley, and by him placed like everything else, in the hands of his daughter, the Lady Lilias.”” «Read this, Lilias,” be said. «I am not quite pleased. You see that Sir Raye Vivurt cannot come himself, he is ill and ailing, but he sends his adopted son and partner, Vane Vibart, who he assures me will give me greater satisfaction than he himself could do.” “This is the young Vibart who wrote about the Channel tunnel. Everyone was talking about him last year.” «Ll remember,” said the Earl. Ah, well, I shall be pleased indeed to see him! He proposes coming next Tuesday. I suppose, Lilias, we can receive him then? olonel Gordon and La udy Frances will be lere; but that will not matter,” replied Lady Lilias. «Mr. Vibart will be your > ptpa, not mine,” “Certainly, my dear, certainly?” said | the Karl hastily.

Now donot ve offended!” «+d am not sure but that I am flattered,” she answered; and Lord Audiey, knowing well he could never quite manage beautiful young daughter, went away.
