coull avert it, when another. patiy
eniered the studio, which was already
hall illed with visitors; evidently these
adies—for lidies they were—were people
of distiction judging by the commotion
their arrival created. ‘They were three in
humber—a lady of perhaps forty years
of age, very beautiful, still, of face aud
torm, with two lovely gir’ Surely [
had seen the elder lady belore ; but where ?
Memory refused to answer. I stood look-
ing at them as they moved gracefully
rouud the rooms, and became conscious
of a singular fact; the younger of the girls,
the least haushiy of the two—was the li
ing image of mysel{—of me Lillian Mei-
ville. ashere was the same mass of yellow
hair—the same great blue cyes—the sane
tiny, restless figure, Even the dimple
which refused a mate, and marked but
one side of my face, was reproduced in
uers, I was startled by the resemblance,

“That ts Lady Trevanion,* said Mr.
vere, observing my elose attention to the
new-comers, ‘and her bewitching dau-
ghters, the ladies Maud and Mary. Goo
heavens, Miss Mellville what a- starting
resemblance! Do you observe it, my lord ??
This last to Lionel, who had approach-
ed us hurriedly,

‘Between whom? Lady Trevanion
and her eldest daughter? Yes, pardon me
Miss Melville, for hastening your move-
ments, but L have an imperative engage-
ment at four, and it lacks but thirty ii-
nutes of that hour,”

‘Tam entirely at your service, my lord ’
I replied, observing that his reasons for
wishing me to go were not light onus;
and with thanks to Mr, Vere for his polite
attention we leit the room, but not before
{ hud bestowed a parting glance upon
Lady Trevanion, whom | now recognized
as the Jady Sally and I had encountered,

Lord Chester bowed as we passed the
lidies and [ fancied that he placed himselt
between them and me, as il to sereen me
trom ther observation, on onr way to the
door. Wher we were safely in the car-
riage he breathed a sigh of relict.

“You are acquainted with Lady Tre-
vianiou, Lionel?’ I questioned,

* Yes—no—that is,” he replied, in con-
fusion, **Lhave met her onee ov twice.

wee, Lillian 2?”

Tsaid yes. and tried to bring the con-

veysution bi to Lady Treyanion, about
whom my curiosity was strongly excited ;
but Lionel evidenced so mneh unwilling-
ness to tulk of her, seeming half-emba.-

“Oh! do you?? T said. in dismay.

*Wiy, IT was merely civil to him, Is he
so vain, then}?

** Par trom it,” was the hasty respons” ;
for Liok @; was never ungenerous to the
absent. ‘but you displuyed so much
pleasure and interest in his conversation,
Lilly, that the poor fellow’s delusion is
quite a natural one.”

There was silence after this for some
tew minutes; then I said, with humility,-—
* Lionel, L think it may be better it you

‘And why, my whimsical girl?”
“Because—weil, Um airaid L do nos

"On! are they?” This with undisguis.

His face Hushed,

“* Never mind that now, Lilly; go get
