ThusJack Sinclair, accus- tomed to regard his belongings and those of bis brother officers as public progerty, could Bot understand why the suggestion that he should buy his stance a gown—which, good- hess knows, she stood sorely in need of—need — that shamed flush to her proud face. “Then how will you do?” he asked at length, rather ruefuliy. “Stay at home,” she laughed; then sang tn a Tich meliow voice: . resi ‘Stay, stay at home, my heart, and Home. Keeping hearts are happlest!'” “O, I daresay!” Jack put in very ru2fully indeed. But the girl only laughed and sang on: “ ‘For those that wander, they know not where, Are full of trouble aad fall of care: ‘Yo stay at home fs best.””” “But Dolly, my darling,” he Interrupted, widn’t Mrs. St. George lend you a dress?” “Mrs. St. George,” answered Dorothy, re- garding him gravely, yet with laughter 1o ber briiifant eyes, ‘is possessed of one presentabie gown beside the one you see her in every ony.” ‘m sure she would lend it to you.” cried Jack, “It Is @ moire antique” satd Dorothy, as if ae — be nothing more sald upon the subject “ Well, what of that? I remember, the last time I was at home, my mother was wearing one, a bright-green one it was, with white-pot buttons—she said they were porcelain, but I knew better.” ‘ ws _ remarked Dorothy, without much in- ferest. “ Then you'll come to the sports to-morrow, darling?” “ The moire, * returned Dorothy, ‘Is of the Most startling rose-color you ever saw. Why, Jack, ail the women Would be laughing at usi? “Let them,” he rejoined flercely; “who cares?” “I do, for one. No, Jack; some day, when we are rich, I will go to the sports; aud I'll give a cup, and you shall run for it,” “I don’t see why you can’t come in the gown you've got on,” he grumbled; “it looks awfully jolly;” but, all the same, he was very Well aware thatthe garment in question was very, very shabby. It was so entirely out of keeping with its wearer. Jack thought, as he watched her that lovely June day, that ho had never Seen a more perfect picture than she Made as she sat upon the river's bank, the willows and the turf making a background against which her radiant loveliness shone Out more like @ gem in @ dark satting than anything eise he could think of. She had taken of her hat, ang. ee are streamed jown upon her golden head, giv! 2 heavy braids the appearance of a ‘dtedann. Jack wished passionately that he could have given her a crown of rubies and diamonds; and yet, he knew that no gold would ever bxcome her as did those imperial colls of lustrous hatr, no sapphires would ever equal the beauty of ‘her azure eyes. And yet she was s0 very, very shabby; her brown-stull gown was positively theaddare— “bright as a sixpence,” she sald. One ilttie foot was visible beneath the frill of her gown, ‘and an inch or two of a slender ankle; they, the foot and the ankie, were all right; Jack had ad- mired them dozens of times; but the boot whitch covered the foot—O, it made him absolutely shiver! Seven-and-sixpence a pair, with square toes that seemed to be of an inquiring turn! Ugh! Jack looked trom them to his own patent leather and canvas boots at thirty-five sailings @ pair, and thought of the dozen or twoof others Wich steod all in a neat row in the lowast con- par'ment of his cupboard, and he had the grace to feel ashamed of himself. If Dorothy Sc. George could cage her little slender feet in such boots as those and keep out of debt, why need he, a great hulking brute, with fee; Ite p»ta- toes, have a bootmaker’s bill as long as his arm? He looked, too, at her little hands folded idiy before her, such pretty hands, with pink-tinted Dilbert nails; then bis eyes fail upon a certain mark along the foretlager of the one which lay Uppermost, and, bending down, he kissed it, as it he would fain kiss that diatiguring seam away. O why should she have to work 80 hard while his sisters, not haif so fair, dawdied their time away, and gare dresses to their maid such as Dorothy could never afford to buy? O, why should it be? A flush mounted tothe yquog man’s brow, and his eyes sank before the Slory of hers; the question was easy to answer. He had “sown the wind” la a long course of reck- lees extravagance, in the ratsing of his father's just rT; how he was “reaping the whiri- wind” banishment from home, and in tha = of knowing that between ‘Dorotay St. eorge and him lay a long array of debts which he had no money to pay. And there are people who say our sins do not find ug out in world! “* O my darling,” he cried with a sudden burst of passion, “how I will make up to you for all this some day!” “Some day,” she repeated wistfully, “if, by. the timeyou come into your kingdom, you have not repented. Jack?” “ Repented: Why?” © You will be rich, I still poor.” “ Supposing I remained always poor and So very rich, would you desert me, “ T cannot say, lam sure,” she laughed. “I have always been #0 awfully poor, you see, that if | were suddenly lifted up in the world 1 might Uptlit my nose, even at you. ‘h, you don’t mean that,” he said coolly. ‘here’s many a true word spoken in jest,” she quoted gravely. « Then, thank God, there {3 no chance of it!” ke cried vehementiy. “ No, indeed,” with a smile half bitter, hait sad. “Do you know, Jack, that I don't know who I am?" I never shall kaow 1.” Yes, yes; you told m2 Don’t talk about “But I must tatk about ft; you ought to know,” she answered. “To begin at the bagia- uing, I must tell you my mother’s name was Meredith.

However, at last he hs ppened to ineet her with Sinclair in a shop, and asked boldly to be in- troduced. Miss St. George was very gracious to him. She smiled so enchantiagly that Jack atratzht- way went off tuto a towering raze and ed her all the way home, at whicu sie laughed more heartily than he hadever heard her lauga in his life, To add to bis wrath Montagu in- formed him during dinuer that eveotag that Miss St. George was reully very deceat-looking; “and I belteve I passed you on the river one day last week,” he added.

That was we pian MY. Bryan Montagu marked out ag Missy St. George's punishment. Accordingly the following afternoon, instead of betaking ‘himself to the ciubd, or ils more favorite river, he turned in the direction of the vitiage in which Mrs. St, George’s little house was; and, as luck would have It, just a3 pe passed the Cotterstone’s house he saw Miss St. | George emerge trom the gave of her cottage aad turn down the lane leading to the river. He followed Instantly, and reached her just a3 she was about to pass through the little gate whicb opened into the River Fields. Mr. Montagu lifted his hat with his most fascinating smile.

Miss St. George thought—well, she fovked as If she fouad her- self In Arcardia. You are going for a walk?” he asked. Well, no.

A3 tar a3 Do- rolby was concerned, he had resigaed in favor of Bryan Montagu, who had coutriyed to get the entree to the house, and who pretty nearly lived there. Twice Dorothy had written to know «by he kept away, andto ask him to come; and both times he bad gent a formal re- ply, declining the invitation, He scarcely Wet outside the barracks, and when le did so Went between 6 and 7—a Ume when he knew Dorothy was very unlikely to be out. Al last, however, he was one day compelled to go into the town early in the afcernoou; and about half-way down the High street he saw Dorothy and Montagu coming on the sama side of the street. They were close upoa him before he perccived them, but he did not hesitate a moment. He turned Legs 4 to the right, and crossed over to the other side without so much as a lock, and witoout any recognition waas- ever. Dorothy turned very white, but she kept @ brave front to the world and laughed tt off a3 usual, Montagu tackled Jack upon the sudject that evening. “Now, I tell you what it 13, Sinclatr,” he sald, leaning back 1b bis chat, and surveying Jack with much amusement fo his eyes, “your be- havior is what I call uncommonly ‘shabby.

Dorothy always alone, with no Bryan Montagu in attendance, but with, O, such a blanched face, such @ world of woe In the azure eyes, that if Jack had wished for revenge there it was. But Jack wished for nothing of the Kind. The sight of his false love's white face only made him miserable, so utterly miserable ‘that he could have falien down upon his knees in the very street, and prayed her to try and look happier: he could have choked the very Ufe out of Montagu as he sat sneering and j1D- ing at the mess table, oaly that would not give aim back to Dorothy, or take away that plte- ous woe from her face. And then Montagu took his long leave, and Dorothy grew whicer and whiter, until at length he missed her altogether and feared she must be fll. Once or twice he felt half inclined to igpore the past and go and see ner, but the remem- brauce that she was-fretting tor Montagu kept him back; she wanted Montagu, and Jick Sioclair woula be of no use; and so when his turn came for long leave he weat away, sore at heart, as was ever Dorothy St. George with hers breaking for the love of the man pe the nickname of the Lady-Killer-ta- Chit. CHAPTER It. The Cutrassiors had lett Blankhampton for Colchester on the way for India, and Dorotay St George had seen nothing more of her two jovers since the day that Jack Sinclair weat awayon long leave. True, Bryan Montagu had called twice; but Dorothy had not seen him, belng 1ndisposed—otherwise lying on her bed in the exhaustion which usualiy comes afier violent weeping. Mr. Montagu hai Stayed half an hour each time, tarking serenely with Mrs, St.George and left, with graceful regrets that Miss St. George wag not weil enough to see htm; and that had been all, that Was theend. And yet she could not forget the past’ she was not allowed t> go out of the house, fora terrible cough had taken hold of her; she could not rest anywhere; she thought herself that she was going mad, As the year drew to a close, and the day fixed for the embarkation of the regi- ment drew near, she persuaded her movuer to axe @ dally paper that she might see the latest, and tndced last, intelligence of them. She was not hard to persuade, for agreat dread bad come over her, lest her child, wo was all she had im the world, should be taken from her; and so foratime the paper was left ab the house daily. The news about the Cuatrassters was butt scant, and Dorothy used to fling the paper down and sigh piteously each day, hoping that the next would tell more. And at'last the sight of their own name caught ber eye, aud she for the first time looked at the paper with. an interest unconnected with the Royal regi- ment of Culrassiers. t this should meet the eye of Florence Mer- 4h, Who in September, 13—, was married in perish church of Hees ibdee Norta Wales, by the Rev.

But it was not so. Toward nooa an impara- tive knock resounded through the houss, aud the woman who had gone every day to help Slice Dorothy’s itiness ushered into the ny Sititug-room a Small, grave gentleman, clad in Pee and with an irreproacbable white neck- cloth, irs.

The romantic story of the Eart of Beauri- Vage’s marriage and the succession of tha beautiful young girl to the titie was naturally enough wafted into ail the papers. Those containing it were hand2d on board tne Croco- Gite at Maita, and read almost simultaneously by the two men who had known Dorothy St. Geeorge most inumately in her days of poverty, “Think what you’ve missed, Sinclair,” drawied Montagu. **Who would have thought of little St. George turning out a countess in her own rigit? By jove, it almost equals a novel!’ “I suppose you'll find it worth while to go. back and marry her now?” said Jack bitterly, “Pooh! Not I! I amused myself with her; but as for marrying—” Hedid not finish the sentence, for Jack ilew at him like a tiger, and flang bia head-toremost down the compiaioa ladder; whence Mr. Bryan Montagu was picked up extensively bruised, and very careful to give duck as wide & berth as was compatible with the capabilities of the ship. Curse you!” Jack shouted after him. don’t belleve she would have you at any price!” Aud yet it puzzled him to guess way Dorothy had acted as she did. One week the regiment remained, after land- ing, ata place called Deolalee; aad when they went forwacd to Unapore they marched with- out Mr, Bryan Montagu, who returned to Eaz- land by the nextsteamer. He had seen enovzh of India during these seven days, he sat Jack Sinclatr always felt, with @ tirill o faction, that he had somethlag to do with ats return. He had not forgotten the time, not far distant, when Bryan Montagu had talked of the Gelights of India with What was nothing Short of rapture. CHAPTER Iy. Three years passed away before Jack Sin- Clair returned to bis native shores. Ha dtd so then because he had come into his fnherttaace; for his fa ber had gone tnto that higher region Where such tiluys a3 earthly riches and trouoles have no piace. “But he died, blessing Jack to the last; and Jack had been sent for, reacaing Lis Lome, alas ! too late, Aud g0 he was no looger Jack Sinclatr, the dragoon, troubled with numerous debts’ and other ditiicuities, but Sinclar of Cleve, the owner 07 a good’ estate, the head of a gooa county family, It was perfectly astonishing how nice every one seemed to find him. The Self-same peopie who had looked very much askance at “that dreadfuily wild fellow, Jack Siociair;” found out that, after all, young men wilt be young men, and that wild-oats are beat sown. Some ladies even went so faras to affirm that the wildest young men make the best hus- —, Those Were ladies with marriageable jughters. But they apgled and baited their traps for bim in vam. Jack would have none of them. His mother remained the undisturbed mistress Of Cleve, and his sis‘ers declared ho musc have jeft his beart in India. Jack sald, “Exactly 80;” and then they won- dered why he hadu’t married her, Eiie sug- cpt that perhaps she was married already; t the more strong-minded Laura scouted that idea alte ‘. was #ure Jack would not be such @ fool as that. No; depend upon It, Jack did not feel altogether satisfied about her, Perhaps her family was not to his liking. That the jady might be unwilling never entered their beads. Was not Jack—Sinclair—of Cleve, with sever thousand a year? - Hewever, their conjectures brought them no hearer to the truth, since Jack turaed a deat car to all thetr hints, and tnvarlably answered vera with the same word, “Exactly,” . “You ought to marry,” Laura told him one “Exactly,” sald Jack easily. “Then why don’t you?” she asked. “I’m sure you're in love.” “Exaculy.” Pe To eee Teast of it, the answer was dis- yur 5 However, in love orout of it, Jack did not change bis condition.

Jack determined, as he held out his hand with a ve bow, that his visit at Lark’s Nest would cut shorton the following day by a plea of “urgent private al- Taits.” “Then you do know her?” Mrs. Holroyd cried, seelyg the friendly yet half-distant salu- WON. “ Lused to know Captain Sinclair,” answered dy Beaurivage disunctly, “very weil indeed; but, for some reason or other, he cut me.” © Dead as a door nail,” Montagu afirmed. “Tcannot believe tnat,” cried Mrs. Holroyd empuatically. e “Tc ts quite true.” answered Lady Beaurivage ca'miy; “ask bid if it is not so.” “I won't ask you, Captain Sinclair, because I have too much faith in you to believe it,” sald the s1€88. * Unfortunately it is perfectly true,” Jack returned gravely. Why?” soms one asked thoughtlessly. ** Why?” he repeated. “O, you must get Lady Beaurlvage to tell you that” at which the young countess blushed so vividly crimson that every one laughed; and Mrs. Kolroyd, to spare her further confusion, made a move and carried ber off to dregs. t Course, there’s no truth in all that non- sense about your cutting her?” Major Hol- royd asked, when he anéJack were ieft in Possession of the hall. “O yes, iUs true enough,” Jack answered bitterly. “It I'd Known she was staying here J shouldn’t have come, and as if is I think I had better leave you to-morrow.” “But what on earth has she done? “It was just this way: Lady Beaufivage was engaged to me, apd jilted me—for Montagu. That's the whole story, Holroyd, and tne less I see of her for the future the Detter.” 4 “Then why doesn’t she marry Montagu?” ure I don’t know,” Jack returned for- lornly. Tiecause,” Major Holroyd continued, “he has been running after her for three years, to iny certain knowiedge. He worships the very ground she walks on, and she always seems as. it she detests him. ‘To be sare, one never can teli What a woman 1s up to,” he ended; “but at all events, Jack, I don’t see that they need drive you away from us; you've done nothiag to be ashamed of.” “Not, exactly,” Jack answered. “Phen you'll stay?” “Yes, Nl stay,” holdiag out bis hand and g his friend's hard, a display of fesiiag he repented instantly, and marched off up stairs, wishing ne hadn’t made suca a fool Of himself. Alt tue same Major Holrovd, standing staring reilectively tnto tne fire, did not Consider he nad made a fool of himself at all. “Queer concern that,” he muttered. “I'll keep an eye upon them.” So he did; but he learnt remarkably littie. The intercourse between Lady Beaurivaze and Mr. Montagu was exactly as it had been afore- time—abject worship on his part, persistent snubbing on hers. Jack Sinclair kept aloot trom both of them, and spent most of nis time with small Ethel, a chtid of ten, who had been & great pet Of his in the old days, before he fell in love with Dorothy St. George, otherwise Lady Beaurivage—and time slipped on. He came in one afternoon atter a long day’s hunting, tired and wet, having missed all the others and returned alone. Just as he reached the hall he saw Lady seaurivage, with three of the children clin about her, coming down the stairs; and ashe never met her, it by any chance he couid possibly avoid hr, ho slipped into the lbrary, thinking they would be going on tothe drawing-room. A moment later, however, the door of the library opened and the four, not seeing the red-coated figure in one of the deep window-seats, entered and went to the other end of the room, where was the fireplace. His firet impulse was to get up and go away, but he could not do that with- out speaking to Dorothy, and it he did so Echel would instantly entreat him to stay; therefore he remained where he was, aimost hidden by the Curtaip, and listened patientiy waile Doro- tay related’a long fairy tate, ‘Aud hen they they were married and lived y ever afver,” Said the soft vic ten- bilaging We story to aa abrupt termina. “Well, and what then?’ Dick asked eagerly; “what then, Dally? +O, nothing more than that,” sae answered, with a soft laugh; ‘what more wouid you have?” Pe ple are aiwaya happy when they get married,” putin Euuel wey. * Who told you tbat?” Dorothy laughed. “Captain Suciair said so, because this morn- ld him Jinks was going to be married, sald, ‘Happy Jinks?
