AT Ml m HEBLF. The Story of a Woman's Atonement, by Charlotte M. Braeme. CHAPTER XXXVIII. Leonie, called Counte s of Charnleigh, wont home that Sunday morning, after her conversation with the country minister, a changed being. The sunlight lay br. ad on the hills, the birds seemed to unde 'stand that it wa^ the one day of re it, and to sing their sweetest songs in its honor. Sho felt utterly reckless, utterly careless. “I will enjoy my life while I can," she said to ho 'self; ‘ i seems that there is no heaven for me. ” No heaven —with t ie golden sunshine lying around her, an 1 the fragrance, tae warmth of the summer Sabbath making earth all beautiful. She lepeatad tho words to herself—‘‘no heaven ’ —and they fell like a funeral knell on her h art. "No heaven”— what did it mean? Was the far oil land, the heaven of her childish dreams, to be closed forever? There was to be no such heaven for her, beW& siunjustly took pos. otsion of 1 inheritance because ene fTatt Jeon, guilty of crime, of which sK ' v ould not repent. Sh- .-?d aloud as sho camo in sight of "Al/ <a. where the Duchess j held high cm.. Jr “Is it such a bad exchange?” she asked herself. “I have given my peace of mind, my quietness of conscience, my lightness of heart, my true, deep love, and heaven, for a title and wealth —to bo called Lady Charnleigh, and to live at Crown 1 e : ghton. My life will bo short and brilliant. People will talk < f mo after 1 am dead—they will say at least that I held my own with grace and dignity. Where shall Ibe when thov are talking so? Shall I be paying tue price of my sin?” Nobler thoughts struggled for supremacy, but she would not hear them. “A short life and a merry one," she said to herself. “1 will enjoy li.'e while I can. ” People thought her changed before, but she wa? d< übly changed now; what had been brilliancy became recklessness. She was never for one moment I without excitement of some kind or other; as for leisure, tranquility, quiet, i they were pursuits she detested. “Are you ever at rest, Lady Charn- i leigh?” asked Captain Armitare one day. “I thought J turned every moment of my life t) son e pleasant profit, but you far exceed me.” “No.” she answered; “I like to live my life all at once, as it were. I like to crowd as much pleasure as possible into every moment;” and then in an undertone she ad led: "1 am at war ; with myself.” She was indeed at war with her ! brightest, best, and no! lest self. She • was by nature good and true —generous even to a fault. Love of riches. I ambition, and vanity had crept in, and had brought with them deadly sin. On the day si e was leaving the villa the duchess said to her—“l had hoped, ; Lady Charnleigh, that you would have a little rest here. I am sorry to say ! that you look worse than you did when ; you came. I do not think you have j had one hour’s quiet.” She raised her lovely face to tho I kindly one bent over her. "If I were to be quiet, 1 should so<m die. Excitement to m

keeps me alive. ” “Do you know, that, is the -a.id- t confession I ever heard from a jrii I s Your ea-e should be dlnerent. Lady Charnleigh. I can understand people almost without a soul-—people weighed down by remorse—leading such a life; but a girl so young as you —pardon me, my dear—ought not to require excitement to make life endurable; it ought to be pleasant enough without it.” “But I do not find it so,” returned Deonie. “I should like to ask you one question: if you require this perpetual, never-ending whirl of gayety now, what shall you do when you are old?” “I shall never live to be old.” she answered, carelessly. “I am living all my life at once. I have no wish to be old.” And, not caring to hear any more, she went away with a smile on her face that hicTsurely the heaviest heart that ever. beat. The Duchess looked after her. ‘There is something wrong about that girl,” she said. “ What can it be? Is she disappointed in anything? Have her love affairs all gone wrong, I wonder? What can it be? I must find I out.” This spirit of unrest had taken full - possession of Lady Charnleigh. In ' vain the duchess tried to ta k to her— ! to find two minutes for a sensible con-' versation—Leonie was more like a but- j terfly on the wing than anything else. I She never seemed to be in the same ) mocd or the same place for ten minutes j •at a time. She left the villa, and the ’ friend who had been kind to her felt : anxious about her. Or.ce again in town, Leonie tiling her- ! self heart and soul into the gayeties of । the season: she went almost every- j where - she refused no invitations: and, I if by chance a day came when she was ' free from engagement-, she filled her I own house with visitors. Lady Fanshawe began to feel alarmed—she gave her young relative lectures about the folly of dissipation. Leonie laughed. How little they knew, those who । preached to her, that this was the i price of her sin -that to enjoy 7 these things she had forfeited her own soul and had lost hebven! Enjoy them? Most certainly she would. .Had ever paid a higher price for title ' ^^^andwealth? She had given up her 1 lover for both -she had periled her j soul—surely she might enjoy what she i had put chased. Did she enjoy it? There were times ! when she asked herself that question, ' and an aching heart answered, “No— ■ a thousand times No.” There were times when the wild, feverish gayety ! collapsed, when a terrible reaction set in, and Leonie would lie in a darkened ! chamber unable to bear the light of ■ day, unable to raise her tired head i from the pillow, worn out, body and i - mind, with the war forever going on ■ with herself. People wondered at the change that had come over her beauty: she was not j one whit less lovely, but a worn look had come over her radiant face., the smile that rippled over the beautiful lips was hard and cold, the thirst, the i constant craving that filled her, completely altered the expression of her ; face. It struck Paul Flemyng sudden- ;

; ly one day when he was talking to her. i Once upon a time she had been full of 1 I sweet fancies, of bright, tender, beaut if ful thoughts. She never expressed J such now, but in their place came a ’ ; cold, cynical sarcasm, a l unsuited to those fresh young lips. She had just given utterance to one of her bitter reflections when Captain Fleming looked up at her suddenly. - J “Leonie,” he said, “how changed you ■ are!” । She had heard the same thing so often that it struck her sho would ask in what the change consisted. : “Tell me,” she said, “how I am j changed, Paul. Am I older-gyown, or ; what? Every one tells me the same । thing, and I want to understand it.” j “Your face is changed, to begin with. Nay, do not misunder tand me; it is as ! beautiful as ever, perhaps more beautiful, but now one never see? it in repose. You used to be very earnest, but ■ more gentle, more given to tender and graceful, womanly ways; yen have : grown colder, harder, more cynical.” “is that all?” she asked. “No, not quite. You give every one the idea that some secret trouble, some hidden sorrow, is eating your life away.” She looked at the noble, handsome man whom she had so cruelly de- I I frauded. Surely you do not believe in such nonsense?” she said. “What secret, what sorrow should I have? What sentimental nonsense for you to talk, Paul.” , “Is it nonsense?” he asked, sadly. “There are times when I feel very unhappy about you, Leonie.” “Then you are not so sensible as I imagined you to be,” sho laughed. “What a droll idea, to be unhappy over one so young and so free from care a? I am! Do not waste any more sympathy | on me, Paul; you will find ample oppori tunities as you pass through life for ! sympathizing with others far more deserving. ” "You have grown cynical and sarcastic,” ho continued: “you have lost what, after ail, is the gieatest charm a woman can have trust and faith." “I believe in you,” she opposed; “surely that should content you, Paul?” “It does not,” ho said, gently. “I j would fain see your old. bright, sunny, ' trusting nature back again: you are brilliant and polished like a diamond, : but you are also just as cold and hard. : Do you not know. Leonie, that it is I better to believe too much than not i 'enough? "Who says I do not believe enough?" sho asked, impatiently. “What nonsense you are talking to mo, Paul!. What makes you say such things?" "My darling Leonie. while you were talking to Lord Falcon last evening. I analyzed what you said, and I was startled. Do you know what cynical, i worldly maxims those beautifuriips of ' yours put forth, what cold, heartless sentiments you uttered, what worldly ideas came in place of the bright, sweet fancies that used to distinguish you?” "I am worldly,” she c nfossed. with a careless smile: "you know I am worldly, Paul—you knew it when you began t > like me.” “1 am loath to believe it: my idea of woman is so grand, Leonie so pure, so unworldly. ” she turned away, saying to herself, with a bitter sigh: "I am at war with myself!” CHAPTER XXXIX.

Honor shonmstand before everything, Leonie.” In the drawing-room of Lady Charnleigh's magnificent town mansion there was being discuss-d a celebrated law suit that was attracting the attention of all England. It was a bright, sunny afternoon, and Leonie, whose perfect artistic taste reigned paramount. had half drawn the' rose-colored blind, so that the room was full of mellow, | half-roseate, half-golden light: the fragrance of ccstly flowers ti< ated on j the soft breeze that blew in softly from | the open windows. Several visitors 1 were there —Captain Flemyng, Lord Seaton, Lady Westgrave, and Miss Dacre, who'was still 1 emaining with Lady Charnleigh; Lady Fanshawe was also present. Some desultory conversatic n had taken place, when Lord Sea- ; ton asked if they had rea l the day’s i evidence of the Pytchley trial. ' “What is the trial about?” asked Leonie. “I have not read any of it.” ; They told her that it was the appeal of the elder brother for the recovery ’ of title and estate from a younger one, : ' who was in full enjoyment of them. “It is hard, I must acknowledge,” | I said Lord Seaton. “The elder was sup- I t po-ed to have died fourteen years ag , i and now he 1 eturns to claim his pos--1 sessions. The younger one, believing , j himself to be the true heir, married, । and has lived as the master of the ! j estate. He has childien growing! , around him, and it seems to m • hard 1 that he should be suddenly deprived of ; ; all he has, and turned adrift in the i world.” I “It is hard.” assented Lady West-i । grave. And then Leonie put in—- “ Possession is nine points of law.” “No amount of possession can give I an honorable claim- to that which belongs to another,” said Paul Flemvng again contradicting Lady Charnleigh's 1 dictum. “I think the young brother did wrong to allow the matter to come : to trial at all. He must have felt sure ; of the elder one’s identity.” ! “Still, it could not ba easy to give up everything in the world,” objected । Leonie. “It could not be easy to one who is conscientious to keep anything be- J I lohging to another,” said Miss Dacre. I “You are right, Ethel,” corroborated ; j Paul Flemyng. “There are different i : kinds of dishonesty: sometimes it ■ i passes under grand * names, but, rely i l upon it, the m in who keeps an estate i from another to whom it justly belongs i | is quite as much a thief as the' man who I I slips his hand into your pocket and ! ! steals your purse.” “A thief!” cried Lady Charnleigh, ! I her beautiful face growing ghastly in ■ its pallor—“a thief, Paul!” i “ Yes,” he replied, looking at her in astonishment; “most certainly-a thief, I j neither more nor less.” “It is a very ugly ■word,” she said, the pallor giving way to a deep flush. ; “The deed is still more ugly,” he rei turned. “I have often wished, too, ■ that men who fail in business dishon- | estly, and bring untold distress on hun- { i dreds of their fellow creatures, were also called thieves. There is nothing ! like plain speaking.” I “Thieving is such a contemptible,

. crime.” said Miss Dacre: “I think it is f the meanest of all vices. ” “It shocks people of refinement the I most,” observed Paul Flemyng. “Now, i, Leonie, shall I look at the photograph > we were speaking of?” But she drew back as though his > words stabbed her; she shrank from i him. “Nevermind about it now,” she answered; “I can show it to you at another time. ” “What a variable child you are!” said Paul, with a smile and a sigh. ■ A few minutes since and all she eared for was that he should see the photograph and give his opinion upon it.Thon she was laughing, eager, and animated —now she drew back, pale, grave, and evidently anxious to escape from them all. “Y hat can have caused the change?” Paul Flemyng asked himself—-he did not in any way connect the subject of their conversation with her difference of mood. I Lady Y estgrave suddenly bethought ! herself how pale and tired the young countess was looking, and rose to take her leave. “Os course we shall see you at Gower Home this evening, Lady Charnleigh? . The ball will be a brilliant one.” ° “A es, I shall be there,” replied Ladv i Charnleigh. 1 Lady Westgrave, who was herself one of the happiest of voting wives, i looked at the lovely, wearied face. i “You are not so accustomed to late j hours and London life as we who have. bourn tho heat and burden of many summers," she remaiked. “Tako m,- ; advice and rest before you go out again; you look very tired.” I “1 am not tired," said I eonie, her fa e flushed with impatience. “People seem to have but one idea about me, and that is—that 1 require rest." “Lou give me that impression,” observed Lady AVestgravo, kindly. And when she had gone Leonie turned away abruptly. “I cannot talk to you any more now, Paul, lam going out. No pray do not follow me. t tlid will entertain you. I assure you t at Ido not want a companion.” Paul, who had risen eagerly to ac- ■ company her. drew back at her words. Seeing a pained look < n hi- face, sho went up to him and laid her hand on ' his. with one of those shy, pretty, caressing movements that suited her so well. I “Lady Westgrave spoke truthfully, Paul lam ti cd: an I to go out among , tho flowers even those in a London conservatory doe - one good. If I have i been extra disagreeable this morning, I will be all that is most am able tonight.” "You are always charm'nv," he rei turned, bending down to kiss the little white hand that lay < n his. “Ethel, did you hear that? Teach Captain Fleming to tel! the truth. Honestly s-e k ne, I know no one so tiresome a- myself when lam in a bud tempe So . aying she went out through tho glas- doors into the conservatory, loavinu Ethel to entertain Paul. Captain Flemyng sighed a- the flowing folds of the white dies- disappeared, and the next moment Ethel was by his side. “Do not sigh alntur her do not be anxious over her. he said kindly. “She dors not seem like herself at pressent; but it will all j a-s away: the nov- P elty of this new life will disappear, and j then you will see the original noble I : nature in all it- ha ik -weeim-— again •• ' ' “Yes: she has not had timejm

Then Ethel chatted with him that i-, she won him from his graver thoughts, she talked of all that most interetei him. cheering and southing him. as a woman only can. until he felt in better spirits than he had for many days past. “You really think then. Ethel, that my beautiful Leonie is only a little bewildered by the noveltv of all around her?” “It can be nothing else,” she said. “We know all her history, and we must own that the change has been enough to bewilder her. She is at this moment the most lovely, the most envied, the most popular, and the wealthiest woman in London. Is not that enough to make any yqmg girl ( cap icious?” " A “Yes, certainly—l had not thought of that.” . “She has a noblp nature, and a most j generous, loyal heart,” continued Ethel. ; “You will seo in a short time, when j she begins to understand how little there is in all that now stems to her most desirable, she will be all and even more than you wish her to be.” j “You are the sweetest of comforters, । Ethel, ’’said Captain Flemyng. “I think ! you have a peculiar talent for dispel- | ling unpleasant thoughts.” He was comforted. He hardly knew I him-elf how great was the estimation ■ in which he held Ethel—how strong j was his reliance upon her, how great j his trust in her. A few words from her 1 worked wonders in him. He left the ' house that afternoon happier than he i had been for many days. |TO BK CONTINUED. I Relics of Past Ages.
