° By Misys Braddon

CHAPTER IU

Bella waited and hoped, and listened for the postman’s knocks which brought

such store of letters for the parlors and the first floor, and so few for that hum- ble second floor, where mother and

laughter sat sewing with hand and with wheel and treadie. for the greater part of the day Mrs. Rolleston was a lady by birth and education; but it had been her bad fortune to marry a scoundrel; for the last half-dozen years she had been the worst of widows, a wife husband had deserted her. Happily, she was cour- ageous, industrious, and a clever needle- woman: and she had been able just to earn a living for herself and her orly thild, by makhg mantles and cloaks for 1 West living off the Walworth Road homely food, well-worn raiment, been the portion of mother and daugh- ter: but they loved each other so dearly, and Nature had made them both so light- hearted, that they had contrived some- how to be happy

But now this idea of going out intc the world as companion to some fine lady

whose

scanty dinners,

had rooted itself into Bella’s mind, and although she idolized her mother, and although the parting of mother and daughter must needs tear two loving hearts into shreds, the girl longed for enterprise and change and excitement,

as the pages of old longed to be knights, and to start for the Holy Land to break a lance with the infidel.

She grew tired of racing down stairs every time the postman knocked, only to

be told ‘‘nothing for you, miss,’’ by the smudgy-faced drudge who picked up the letters from the passage floor. ‘‘ Nothing for you, miss,’’ grinned the lodging- house drudge, till at last Bella took heart of grace and walked up to Harbeck street and asked the Superior Person how it was that no situation had been found for her.

“You are too yonng,’’ said the son, ‘‘and you want a salary.”’

“Of course I do,’’ answered Bella; ‘don’t other people want salaries?’’

““Young ladies of your age generally want a comfortable home.’’

‘I don’t,’’ snapped Bella; ‘‘I want to help mother.’’

“You can call again this day week,”’ said the Person; if I hear of any- thing in the meantime, I will write to rou.”

No letter came from the Person, and in exactly a week Bella put on her neat- one that had been seldomest

caught in the rain, and trudged off to Harbeck street.

It was a dull October afternoon, and there was a greynessin the air which might turn to fog before night. The Walworth Road shops gleamed brightly through that grey atmosphere, and though to a young lady reared in May- fair or Belgravia such shop-windows

wonld have been unworthy of a glance, they were a snare and temptation for Bella. There were so many things that she longed for, and would never be able

rbeck street is apt to be empty at this dead season of the year, a long, long street, an endless perspective of em- inently respectable houses. The person’s office was at the further end, and Bella looked down that long, grey vista almost despairingly, more tired than usual with the trudge from Walworth. Asshe looked a carriage passed her, an old-fashioned, yellow chariot,on steel springs, drawn by a pair of high grey horses, with the state- liest of coachmen driving them, and a tall footman sitting by his side.

“Tt looks like the fairy god-mother’s coach,’’ thought Bella. ‘I shouldn’t

wonder if it began by being a pumpkin.’’

It was a surprise when she reached the Person’s door to find the yellow chariot standing before it, and the tall footman waiting near the doorstep. She was al- most afraid to go in and meet the owner of that splendid carriage. She had caught only a glimpse of its occupant as the chariot rolled by, a plumed bonnet, a patch of ermine.

The Person’s smart page upstairs and knocked at the official door. ‘‘Miss Rolleston,’’ he announced, apologetically, while Bella waited out- side.

“Show her in,”’ quickly; and then muring something in a low voice client.

Bella went in fresh, blooming, a living image of youth and hope, and _ before she looked at the Person her gaze was riveted by the owner of the chariot.

Never had she seen anyone as old as the old lady sitting by the Person’s fire; a little old figure, wrapped from chin to in an ermine mantle; a withered, old face under a plumed bonnet—a_ face so wasted by age that it seemed only a pair of eyes and a peaked chin. The nose was peaked, too, but between the sharply pointed chin and the great, shining eyes,

feet

the small, acquiline nose was hardly visible.

“This is Miss Rolleston, Lady Du- cayne.”’

Claw-like fingers, flashing with jewels, lifted a double eyeglass to Lady Ducayne’s shining black eyes, and through the glasses Bella saw those unnaturally bright eyes magnified to a gigantic size, and glaring at her awfully.

‘‘Miss Torpinter has told me all about you,’’ said the old voice that belonged to the eyes. ‘‘Have you good health? Are you strong and active, able to eat well, sleep well, walk well, able to enjoy all that there is good in life?’’

“Tt have never known what it is to be fll, or idle,’’ answered Bella.

‘““Then I think you will do for me.”’

“Of course, in the event of references being perfectly satisfactory,’’ put in the Person.

“I don’t want references. woman looks frank and take her on trust.’’

‘*So like you, dear Lady Ducayne,’’ murmured Miss Torpinter.

“T want a strong young woman whose health will give me no trouble.”’

**You have been so unfortunate in that respect,’’ cooed the Person, whose voive and manner were subdued to a melting sweetness by the old woman’s presence.

“Yes, I’ve been rather unlucky,”’ grunted Lady Ducayne.

“Lies, no doubt,’’ muttered Lady Du cayne, and then turning to Bella, she

In Italy! The very word was Bella’s fair young face flushed

“Tt has been the dream of see Italy,’’ she gasped.

From Walworth to how impossible snch a seemed to that romantic dreamer.

‘Well, your dream will be realized. Get yourself ready to leave Charing Cross by the train de luxe this day week at eleven. Be sure you are at the station a quarter before the hour. My people will look after you and your luggage.”’

Lady Ducayne rose from her chair, as- sisted by her crutch-stick, and Miss Tor- pinter escorted her to the door.

Miss Torpinter went all the way down- stairs with her client, and waited to see her seated in the yellow chariot. When she came upstairs again she was slightly out of breath, and she had resumed that superior manner which Bella had found so crushing.

‘You may think yourself uncommonly lucky, Miss Rolleston,’’ she said. a have dozens of young ladies on my books whom I might have recommended for this situation—but I remembered having told you to call this afternoon—and I thought I would give you a chance.

‘“‘\ hundred a year! How too lovely! Shall I have to dress very grandly? Does Lady Ducayne keep much company?”’

‘At her age! No, she lives in seclu- sion—in her own apartments—her French maid, her footman, her medical attendant, her courier.”’
