% She thought wich a kind of impetuoue rage ad she stood looking after him on the chance she wnight have had if she were a mano the one hrndied and one ways of independence and distinction that to her at least would have stood open. She thought with a rege quite impetuous that as a girl she cou) count on nothing ex- cept on inheritance and marriage, and that the inheritance might well come too late, or come diminished by mismanage-

i |

ment, or come notat all, and that apon the amount of the inheritance the quality of the marriage was dependent. fhe thought finally that reflection of such tccidity and fore. as that is bad for the complexion and for the modeling of the face about the lips and eyes, but more temperately behind the mask of her un- troubled, fresh, pure face she pursued for many minutes her line of meditation. She had pursued it many times before,

Later in the morning Mrs. Loyibonad was ocenpied with a visitor when Sibil, daintily bonneted and gloved, swept into the room and rustled affectionately about her mamma, to whom she was in public entirely devoted, and asked how long she might keep the carriage, and \. hat com- missions she micht execute, | whether she might not be kissed good))s

Mrs. Lovibond was tall, like h«r daugh- ter, and slim, and her hair, once blond, like her daughter’s, was gray, and her face was gray and fill of the fine lines and distinction that come of a thousand ex- quisite scruples for half a century con- stantly possesse(. Mrs. Lovibond had been the cause a)| her life of other people’s telling in her |ehalf, to spare her sensi- bilities, countless fibs, but she had never herself told a fib and had never learned to forgive fibs in others nor to recognize with equanimity their presense in others.

She had been greatly agitated by what was to her the monstrous departure from avy becoming or even possible attitude of @ irl toward her mother that in thefr talk after breakfast Sibil had manifested, and she had not seen Sibil since. Her nerves were still vibrating from the excitement which she had undergone, and she was re- volted simply by Sibil’s caressing intona- ticns and looks. When Sibil offered to kisa her, she conld endure no more, She rose hastily from her chair and without apology left the room.

Sibil instantly, in the manner the most unassumed in the world, sank into a chair anicovered her face and shook with weep- ing imperfectly held in check.

“Dear Mrs. \ aunton,’’ she said as soon as she could bring herself to speak, ‘‘don’t ask me what [ fear is the matter. It is too dreadful simply. We have seen it coming ever since papa died.”’

And she rem« ved her bonnet and gloves and dismissed the carriage.

. . . ° . - ~

Net so many weeks subsequent to Mrs. Naunton’s morning visit it began not un- commonly among the acquaintance of the Lovibonds to b- remarked that dear Mrs. Lovibond had for along time been strange.

At first this remark was made in isola- tion, parenthetically almost, and empha- sized, if at al). by nothing more than an exchange of giances or a decorous pause ora word of sympathy. ‘“‘Have you seen Mrs. Lovibond of late? How unlike her- self she seems! She appears to have sunk into an utter melancholy.” Then came a rumor of her being denied regularly at the door to visitors, and of an inexplicable

aversion on ner part ~ Sivil, a daughter of whom anybody might be proud, and of orders to the servants and of messages to her friends which, to say the least, were very old, and which indeed seemed often to strike the poor lady herself with aston- ishment when they were brought to her notice.

Sometimes she indignantly denied ever having authorized them, and always Sibil, when present, agreed with her that there must be some mistake, and by a beseech- ing glance toward her mother’s inter- locutor silenced protest and explanation. Even Bertie came in time to declare abruptly to Sibil that, ‘‘Begad, you know,

this is serious,’’ and he added that a lot of the Bontflowers (Mrs. Lovibond’s maiden name was Bontflower) had been ‘‘queer.”’

About the time of Bertie’s declaration in regard to the queerness of the Bont- flowers Mrs. Lovibond’s man of business received from Sibil in Mrs. Bontflower’s name (he had been accustomed to deal with Mrs. Bontflower through Sibil) an order for the disposition of some bonds which he thought it ont of the question to execute. For a long while past he had been made uneasy by the instructions which had been given him for the rein- vestment of the money accruing from such of the Lovilbond securities as from time to time had fallen due, and when at length he became sharply alarmed he went at once to Holles Naunton, who had been Cecil Lovibond’s most intimate friend and the executor of his will, and communicat- ed to him his gurmises and doubts. His surmises and doubts were so well support- ed by the evidence in his hands and were of a nature so grave that Holles Naunton called together the eldest of Cecil Lovi- bond’s reiatives, a1 after a consultation with them spoke in the name of a formi- dable consensus of uncles and aunts to Bertie and Sibil.

Bertie, who was never at his ease when it was not possible to be jocular, content- ed himself with repeating lugubriously

that a lot of the Bontflowers, you know, had been queer. Sibil would at first listen to nothing, not even to the suggestion of en'isting the services of acelebrated spe- clulist. Her opposition was so determined that she obtained at last a promise that nothing should be undertaken or dcne against her mother’s consent. On that condition Sibil, with becoming reluctance. consented that the difficult business should be opened to Mrs. Lovibond, stipu- lating for all possible tentativeness and delicacy. Nothing. she said, could to Bertie and herself be at ail worth while in coim- parison with that, and Lertie said of course it couidin’é

Holles Naunton, in company with Sibil, who insisted that she should be present,

undertook the littleembassy. He had leng hoped that Sibil would consent to larry Horace, his second son, and had learned to regard her as little Jess than a daughter and to regard her interests as a daughter’s interests.

The tact and gentleness of his address in the actual interview left Sibil nothing to wish unsaid, nothing to wish undone. It was a matter of business simply, he ex- plained, growing out of # scruple on the part, in the first instance, of a man of business, and except that her naturally pale face became perceptibly a little more pale Mrs. Lovibénd bore herself as in the presence of a matter of business simply and offered neither protest nor opposition. She felt, poor lady, that she stood very much elone. Her husband’s relatives, when ail was said, were just ber husband’s relatives, and relatives of her own, except some distant cousins, she had nene. She had been an only child and had brought, truth te tell, much of the estate which it appeared that she was mismanaging to Cecil Lovibond on her marriage. Even if she disavowed all of the strange things that Sibil had done in her name, it was possible she would not be believed. Her little public was prejudiced against her, and even to an unprejudiced public it must be easier to believe that an old wom- an was out of her wits than to believe that a girl like Sibil had conceived so safe and so audacious a conspiracy. Also to make a disavowal would be to accuse her daugh- ter, and simply she coud not bring herself to accuse even a daughter like that. ‘‘It is too plain,” she said. ‘I may well be mad, haying, as I have, such children.” And she undertook to make over what Holles Naunton would to any proper trus- tees.

When vhe necessary papers and proceed- ings were nearing compietion, Bertie, whe was slow always to take things in, showed at last symptoms of revolt and declared te Sibil, with his customary indifference t contest, that it was all a bloody shame.

‘If I were you,”’ Sibil said with a mem ace in her downcast eyes and even voice that made him most uncomfortable, he hardly knew why, ‘‘I should keep wholly quiet.. You are half Bontflower at best, and nobody, to start with, has ever thought you wise.”

The more Bertie turned over that speech in his dim little mind the more uneasy he became and the more firmly he resolved to follow the advice which it contamed, and to keep wholly quiet, or, as he would even mentally have phrased it, to lie low, by

WEAK AND LOST FLESH,

Mrs. Reep cays: —“My daughter Dora, became weak and gradually lost flesh untill she was merely a living tkeleton. She was so weak that she could not walk across a room without the most eer ous ¢flort and her heart would beat so rapidly and violently that we feared she would die.

and ‘soda. Whenever the thought that he is half Bontflower has recurred to him since he has ordered always another brandy and soda, and he has ordered a great many.

Holles Naunton was and is the only ac- tive member of the little board of trustees in whose charge the Lovibond estate was placed. When Horace Naunton had dem- onstrated the likelihood of his proving to be in society and in politics really a per- sonage, Sibil consented to marry him. There was foratime among aj ortion of the Nauntons some thought of o,position t» the match, on the ground that Sibil was balf Bontflower, and that sort of thing, you know, runs in families, and it is right to take no risks, but the Lovibend connec- tions were excellent, and Sibil herself was a charming, clever girl, and indeed her money and her connections and loveliness and wit have been already to her husband of inestimable aid.

She has still the same blue, innocent eyes, and the same look in them of grave sweetness, and is still to her mother, near whom at Sibil’s instance Horace Naunton has taken a house, the same irreproachable daughter. The task of remaining so is recognized by all of Sibil’s acquaintances asthe more difficult because Mrs. Lovi- bond 1s much proken mM spirit and health and her aversion to her daughter seems rather to increase with time.

Bertie, who seems to feel in a vague way that there is something very like im- piety in not appreciating one’s perils, has suggested to Sibil that she also is half Bontflower, but she has never shown her- self alarmed. She has never shown her- self alarmed indeed, even for her little boy, of whom she is devotedly fond, though in him, to be sure, the Bontflower strain has run thin.—New York Advertiser.
