TUESDAY FEBRUARY tS, lStiU Lady Margaret's Valentine. la cur village of Kempton there .was only one opinion of Lady; Margaretwhether contemplated in the past or the present, whether thought of as the wife or widow of Sir Geoffrey Uaryll, she wa3 always spoken of as "a perfect lady." People were not . persuaded of anything more entirely rhan of tha rwrfeetioiis of Lady Mar-

sraret. Hep excellence was an article f faith among us, so perfectly did our little world believe in her. This gracious lady was beautiful in Jace. very graceful in movements, tt ' fl I 1 . irentlo in manner, one was anauie without impertinent condescension, and respectful to everybody. The 'of her title; "a lady in her owu rieht," they called her; dear, faith- .. . I- II 1 1 1 1 1 1 A 1 Jul, inenuiy souis, ana i nau nsieneu to them in . my childhood with much solemn wonder in my swelling heart us to what those words might mean. Lady Margaret had stood much alone in tha world before her marriage. She had been an orphan; she had brought no grand relations to look down on the hereditary devotion f the Kempton neighbors; and Miss Smithr-rs, the grocer's heiress, had had a larger fortune; but Lady Margaret stood in no need of the recommendations of money or friends, she was such "a perfect lady." As to myself. I worshipped Lady Margaret with a truly devoted heart, and my mother gave her tbe purest admiration, and a very grateful love. I suppose I may say th-itniy father, Jaine3 liojds, had been the fir.-t gentleman of his family. The lloyds Jamil had, in long succession, f rom lather to son. been in the place of land stewards to the Caryll property; but the late Sir Geoffrey, who had been Lady Margaret's husband, and my father, had been "only sous," and as the boys grew into close friends it was agreed that they should not be parted. They went to Oxford together, where my father greatly distinguished himself. lie bad becomo a barrister, and ho had married early; then, in the same year, he and Sir Geoffrey died Sir Geoffrey of a fall v. : , i. . . . i , jlu in ma uuiBu, juy jaLiici iu uvua;iuence of a fever caught in London. 1 was ten years old at that time, and Lady Margaret had been only two years married. The house in which we lived had been prepared for my mother's reception when a bride, by Sir Geoffrey. It stood within the park wall, which was covered with ivy from the ground to the coping; and it was backed by great cedars, whose huge cone-covered branches gave out sweet odors as they lay straggling in great feathery lengths across the turf. The Court was about a half a mile off, and we could get to it by a pathway straight across the park, passing by the spring called the Deer Pool," which lay on the sunny side of a dense thicket of evergreens; this path was only used by the servants of the Court, ourselves, and our two maid-servants, and the privileged feet of the village postman. My mother and I were also allowed to use " the private drive," and there my little pony-carriage wheels were often heard merrily running over the well rolled, perfectly kept, graveled road. Ou the deaths which I have recorded, the Kempton people added to their every-day thoughts mauy speculations as to how my mother and Lady Margaret would be left; and on both matters they were soon sufficiently informed. My mother was left in affluence, and Lady Margaret had the entire Caryll property bequeathed to her; but if a certain Captain Granby, f wl4"tm nn nn 1 1 rw 1 oiritia hnn J t Lavs u j uau t tci ucaiu ucfore, but who now turned out to be some distant cousin of Sir Geoffrey, survived her, he was to be the future owner of Kempton Court. Nobody cared for Captain Granby. Nobody knew where ho was. In India, said somebody; so they took that matter for granted. For all practical purposes Lady Margaret was mistress of the situation, and more magnificent sympathy was offered to her in consequence. In the old time there had been public days at Kempton Court, such as the old King's birth day, by which George the 'fluid was meant, when a fljg waved from the porch tower, and the placo had been thrown open to all who had an estab'ished right to come. Hut as time went on the days were changod. The accession of Queen Victoria had Leen kept; and in my time it had always beeu Lady Margaret's wedding-day. After Sir Geoffrey's death there was much wondering about these public days. !r six years Kempton Court was a house closed to all but particular friends; aud during ail that time the wondoiing as to the possible fte days of the i'uturo wa3 every year renewed. During all this time Lady Margaret had been the angel of our house. She had won my mother out of her drsponding grief foe my lather's early death, and she made me love her as 1 could -not hope by any description to make anybody understand. I quite worshipped Lady Mar garef. The most perfect lady! I , could echo the village judgment now from my own heart, and because of my own experience; and generally Lady Margaret was even more delighted in as a widow than she had been s a wife our perfect ladyl Lady Margaret used often to have me stay with her at Kempton Court; and rather more than six years after her husband's death, when I was her guest it being February, and, in fact, Si. Valentine's eve, she said: "Mary, the people have been six years without their public days in the park. I am" thinking this year of beginning them attain. I wonder if it wculd be liked? " I spoke positively of the pleasure it would give; and when I looked at her beautiful youDg . face she could not have been more than twenty-seven, I think I felt glad that she would no longer deprive our little world of so much loneliness of person and mind. And you will go out again see friends, I mean." " Yes," said she; "but I shall not go to London this year, I think." Then I knew that by degrees the old ways were to be returned to, and I was glad. Yet with my gladness there mingled a girlish regret, because 1 fVlt that Ladv Mareare.t misrhr. tic come something else something not known to me that I, who had only , known her so very well since her widowhood, might lose a something, and that what I lost others would gain. I had beguu to be jealous of the world already. She talked very merrily that eveniDg; she fcpitke of her maiden life, of London, of my "coming out" for I was seventeen of people who had beeu beauties aud heiresses; of some who had married well, and others who had married ill; of love in a cottage, and nf those, who Vint nr.-.l that nonsidering tho chance of this mortal life, t'isi best repenting in a coach and six." I wa amused and interested beyond measure. She spoke with a brilliant familiarity of the life of her youth. It came back to her in moru

ory with evident pleasure, and we stayed up gossiping much beyond our usual bedtime. " ' As we stood at last on the landing of the stairs, saying good night, she said: " Shall we walk to the Beeches tomorrow?" i , "O yes," I exclaimed; for the Beeches was a wooded hillside dotted with huge masses of granite, at the foot of which a rapid river ran, with most picturesque windings;: and there Lady Margaret- had. already given me two lessons, in sketching, the spot to which we went being both sheltered and sunny, so very agreeable for the time of year. To tell the truth, I dreamt of the things we had talked about, and when Lady Margaret had met me in the

hall, after breakfast, in her short black .serge, and said, ' Uome.'cMary. or the morningsun will be gone. And do you know it is Valentines dayr I colored up to my eyes, because 1 had said to mvseif over and over again, hope she will not marry again Oh. I hone. 1 hopel Away we went; the day was the brightest that ever dawned on any Valentine, 1 am sure;' the sun was like Summer, the birds were singing, the primroses were showing in the sheltered places, and when we got to the Beech, there was the dry rustle of the beech mast beneath our feet, and gay green patches where the leaves of the blue hyacinths had push their way. - :. r. "O, this ii exquisite I" cried Lady Margaret. "See the light on those glittering rocks look how the shadow ot those great boughs gets painted on them, lint wo have the river vet: let us. get up the bank and see how it looks from above, I declare, it ia hot." Lady Margaret was quite right. We had walked fast, we were in a place at once sunuy and sheltered, and it wa3 a moment of as much enjoyment and promise as any lady-sketcher could desire. She had got beyond me now, by a rough patn up the steep bank, and she stood waiting. ' O, Mary, it is delicious 1 So peaceful, so pretty! It seems odd to think of so much Leauty going on, whether or not there be any too look at it. Nature is a prodigal. Ilere we are quite alone; rjot a creature have we seen not a Valentine!" And then she laughed like a girl. She took one or two steps more, bo as to command the other side of a granite rock, and then she came back quickly to me. : " O, hope he did not hear. There is a man there, sitting down and drawing water colors; what shall we do?" "Go home," I said. "I don't know. The place own. I shall speak to him." She went up the bank once keeping mo by her Bide. But la my more, as we nearcd the highest point ot the intervening wall of stone, tho man appeared on the top. tie took off a cloth Scotch cap that he wore and bowed to us. We were both struck by the extreme picturesqueness of his position, attitude and general appearance; and it was with a peculiarly sweet voice that he said: "I know I am on Lady Margaret Caryll'a grounds; but I hopel have not trespassed too far too near the house. I mean." : " You are nearly a mile from my house," said Lady Margaret. The stranger gave a little bow. " Do not leave your sketch unfinished. ;The scenery here is very fine, and you will not often get so good a day at this time of the year." " Thank you!" he said. Aud onco more touchiug his hat, he turned away, as if to go back where lady Margaret had seen him. We, too, turned away, and I thought Lady Margaret looked disturbed. " We will come some other time" then she added, after a pause, with an odd, short laugh, as if vexed at being disappointed of our sketching hour "when there are no Valentines about;" and I, a little chafed, perhaps, by her manner for the first time iu my' life it vexed me said quickly "Nay.it was yiur Valentine you saw him, not I ! ' "Child!" I started; stood still; took! her hand, and kissed it. L wish I had never uttered the word," I cried. "So do I," she said, " and I taut it, as well as saw it first; so the whole firth is mine Iciss me, Mary. There! Now no more!" And so we did not speak of it just

ineu any more, uut betore the day was ended we had both laughed heartily over the Valentine, the vexation and the adventure. We called the sketcher "the Valentine;" we woudered about him a little, and finished the day by coloringup our morning walk till it glowed as a good story when we told it at " little tea," to my mother. There it , seemed to end. Yet, again and again, as weeks passed by, I felt on unaccountable vexation rise in my breast because Lady Margaret had seen " the Valentine.", At last, when June was come, there was something else to think about. ;The return to the old public days was announced. The people were to have their fill of pleasure, and once more they might go home tired, loyal; and satisfied, if they would. The day fixed upon was the 20th of June, and everybody said that they should "make it a point to go." Then everybody wondered if Lady Margaret would leave off her mourning on that day if she would really wear colors. I wa9 a very Blave in my love for Lady Margaret, j did not wish her to be gay after ithat fashion.- I hoped, feared, wondered. Vhn the day came she kissed me lovingly, and was dressed in richflowing, soft-shining gray, with a white bonnet, and delicate marabout feathers in it; and the blessedness of her presence seemed to wrap me round like a garment. , Such a day it was! such lights and shadows, such warmth and gladness! such a confusion of happy sounds! The whole park, except where the deer were kept enelosed, was alive with a moving multitude, enjoying the glad fellowship of those holiday hours. Suddenly Lady Margaret came up to me. "Mary," she said " the Valentine!" I thought she looked odd and excited. I suppose I seemed very stu-. pid, for she went on with strange earnestness : "Have you heard of a man a young man, a gentleman, I mean who has been lodging with Mrs. Bond, by the riverside; he is 'the Valentine'; he is here!" Do you mean the man who came there, fishing? I heard that some youth came there on foot, with hia fishing rod. He has been ill. My mother sent him some strawberries a Weg?; J.hav Pever seen him." That talking Miss Nancy Bennett says be has often asked about me " There was something just a l'ittle lees than perfect ia Lady Margaret's manner, I thought: and the thought troubled and vexed me. Come with me now," she said (CONCLCDID IU QOTt HBXT.J
