As the door closed Denis gave one low cry and flung him- self, face down, upon the couch. Nothing I could say would comfort him; he lay all the evening in dumb, wretched misery, while the dusk grew into night, and one by one out came the little stars, and last of ali the tull, round moon. The 15th of June dawned fair and cloudless. I was up early, too full of my child’s new life, that was to begin to-day, to rest. She was to be married at_ Mr. Haviland’s, quietly, at six o'clock in the afternoon. I had a little note from her at midday begging me not to fail to come, and saying at the end: “Dear Octavia, I know I am doing right, although my heart peme dead. Baron von Stock is very kind, and [shall soon be all bright and happy again. And. indeed, I shall try and make his words true.” tour o'clock Tw sed in my best gray silk, with a bunch of v that Jean had sent me. J was carefully drawing on my gloves and beginning to fd tally lest Denis should fail me at the last: for he, with a youth- ful desire to luxuriate in his grief, had declared it manly and ri to be at Jean's marriage, besides being his duty to look alter me. At half past five he made his appearance, “Oh, Dents,” I cried, “how glad Tam to you. I feared, after ail, you might not come. He laughed a , not good to he You should not | fe If she ecaa endure it, surely T can.” Then we betook ourselves to the carriaze,and very soon were entering Mr. Haviland’s draw- ing rooms; these were gay with flowers and sweet June sunshine, and bright with happy faces. Were ours the ouly heavy hearts in that small gathering? We took our places, Denis and I, not far from the White satin mat richly embroidered inroses, which, as Madame de Vaux informed me, “had | | been brought especially from Germany for the bride and groom to stand upon.

Denis drew back into the window, a moment, and then the door was slowly opened and Jean came in. She walked down the long room, and we two watched her as shecame, She was already dressed for dinner, in a long, soft, white silk, made very simply, with some tich old lace at the throat, and short, hanging sleeves. Her breast-knot was of her favorite dark Russian violet; her wavy, brown hair knotted In some old-fashioned style upon the top of her proud little head, and held there by a quaint silver comb; in ber hands she carried her white fan and her long, white silk mittens. Save for the deep blue of the violets, there was not a ray of color about her, und her tace was as white as her gown.

She said nothing. “Is this true, Jean?” asked the Baron slowly, with alook of pain on his face. tahoe questioned, Jean looked up and an- aware: True that I love Denis? Yes, it 1s quite true.

You lave never asked me, Baron von Stock, whether or no I lovedyou. You ac- cepted my father's promise as I have done, as I am willing to do.” As I watched the Baron I saw a sudden look of happiness come over his face while Jean was speaking. My heart sank. Was he then will- ing to take her not only without love, but know- ing Ler heart belonged to another? It seemed. 80, for as she finished he went close to her, and, taking her hand, raised {It courteously to his lips, bowing his gray head over it with infinite grac ‘That is quite as it should be, mein liebling; I am only too happy to possess your amiable —| respect.
