II.

T?e» years had passed away, and gi-eat •hangee had come upon the Deane Ella folk. "Madam" had long been gathered to her rest. The Towers had been shut ap for five long years. Jasper had left the old home for Eton, Sandhurst, and, finally, the Army. Dolly was growii upgrown from a delicate dainty child to a delicate dainty woman, and was perhaps the least altered of any one in the place.

There was the same lovely golden hair —though, instead of floating wildly over her shoulders, it was braided away neatly at the back of her email head, over the white forehead however it strayed in the «jd lovely confusion—her blue eyes were fust as clear, and even more intensely blue, and she had still the same naive gentleness which had been wont to distinguish her long ago.

It was August. The Squire, the Mis-, tress, and D^lly had returned to Deane Ella on the previous day, after a season in town and a sojourn of a few weeks at "Wiesbaden—during which time Dolly had innocently broken innumerable hearts, and, to her father's delight and satisfaction, kept her own. And now they had come home at last, and the Squire was once more perfectly happy.

From early dawn he had been up and about, positively revelling in the fresh pure air, gloating over his short-horns and "bis horses, and lulling Dolly every time he came near her that already she look*. 1 ninety per cent, better for her restoration to her Tixtive air. ""With Jasper Iiome to-mojTOw it will seem liki old times again," ho said gleefully.

only want Culverton to be

quite so. I wonder when Culverton is coming home." '•Perhaps, now that the Countess is dead, he will come at once," answered Dolly. "I wonder if lie will know me. "I was only fifteen when he saw me last." "Know you? Of course he will," returned the Squire. "Who that had once eeen you could ever forget you, I wonder? *©t Culverton, certainly. Poor lad! What queer woman she was! It must have been a happy release for him. and then he went off" again, this time for a walk round the village.

Dolly sat where he had left her, looking very graceful and lazy, with no movement in the folds of her white gown, no restlessness in the pose of her milk-white hands, thinking of her old play-fellow Culverton and of his strange foreign mother, who always hated England and Culvertoh Royal, «ven though she drew her large income therefrom hating the restrictions which

Servented

re her marrying again or taking son away from his native land until lie became of age and could look after hia own interests hating that son most of all* because he was the son of his father, whom she had nevfir loved.

And now that she was dead, and Culverton could please himself, Dolly wondered whether it would please him to find his way back to Culverton Towers.

While she sat there in the brilliant August Bunshine, with the ugly, quaint Queen Anne mansion behind her and the uglier, quainter Queen Anne garden before her, a footfall sounded upon the gravel, and a voipe said— "Is that you, Dolly?" L\ij

She sprang up, for it was Culverton him-' eelf, the subject of her thoughts—Culverton changed from a slim boy of fifteen to a finely built man,,with'a dark melancholy Italian face, of which the only English features were his gray eyes. "I was just thinking of yoU," said Dolly. -"Father was here a few minutes ago and spoke of you. He was wondering whether you would come home now or not.. Jasper conies to-morn w." ,« -4 '•And how are the others "Oh, mother has gone for a drive with Mrs. Carruthers, and father is probably

lerkshire pigs! Poor darling, we have been away three months and only returned yesterday. Consequently to-day he is like" a wild creature who has long been pent up and suddenly set free." -Come indoors," Baid Culverton, suddenly. "It is too hot out here "!and Dolly, •obedient ever, at once followed him.

When they reached the drawing-room, he walked quickly through into Mrs. Nugent's boudoir. "We shall not be interrupted here," he said calmlv, "and 1 want to talk to vou.— Do you know. Dolly, I liave not seen you for five years?" "Five yearn—such a long time!" remarked Dolly, with the old naive air with which she had been used to deliyor the, most of her remarks. "I wanted so often to come, but the Cbuutess always kept me employed," he said rather wearily. "However, now that I have come, I don't intend to go away *gam.'' "I am glad of that," returned Dolly simply "it's awfully dull without Jasper."

He looked at her for a moment in silence, as she stood beside him in the window. "You are not in 1 lie least altei'ed, Dolly," be said at last. "Of course not neither are you, except that you look so much older—not graver, for you were always grave. Why, Culverton, did you expect that I should be much changed?" ,. -•. a-* ••'A little—yes I thought that, now yon have grown into a fashionable young lady, you might be changed in—in many ways, I find you are not, Dolly. Do you remember the day I found yoti down to Mr3. Pickard's eating cheesc-cakes and "strawberries?" "Yes, the day I fall, and was.proud that 1 did not cry," she laughed. •'You had always pluck," he said. "I member all about that day do yon *'No-o"—doubtfully. "I "don't particu_*ly remember anything cl$e»" "Not how Jasper wen* dtfTOjfeomewhere or other with William PidMSjjijjp look at

some bull-pups, and how 1 came home with you, and we went into the little shop and pleasantly, bought some toffee?" "Oh, yes, of course! And how we found

a slice of bread and honey, which you ato up for me! You always were good to me, Culverton," she ended, grateful still, al-

though that especial' kindness had taken feption than the Squire's wife burst out place ten years before "And is there nothing else you can think of?" he asked. 3

Dolly shook her head. "I have not such a good memory as you have," she replied. "I remember," he said, taking her hand in his, "how then you very seldom called me 'Culverton'—only 'Bertie,' the name by which no one else over called me and how at the side door I asked you if you did not love me better than you did Jasper, and you said h*lf apologetically, that Jasper had so many people to love him, while

Oh, don't shrink away, Dolly!

it does not pain you to hear my reminiscences does it?" "I—I don't know," said Dolly rather vaguely.

Culverton laughed softly. "It cannot pain you much then so

may go on. Well, you said, 'You don't know, Bertie, how I love you and when

asked if you would love me always, you replied, *Of course.'" "I always was a Bweet-tempered child,H remarked Dolly placidly "but I've grown quite cattish since those days." "So cattish that you won't call me 'Bertie' any more?" he asked wistfully. "Well, I might," returned Dolly, "if—it —would in any way prove conducive to your happiness." "When did you learn to be coquettish Il6 fiiSltcdi "Oh, I don't know! When will you learn to be a little more cheerful "When you will tell me as you did just ten years ago, 'You don't know, Itevtie, how I love you!'" he retorted. "Oh," said Dolly doubtfully. "I wish you would, Dolly, he said longingly. "Don't you think," remarked Dolly simply, "that all this is rather sudden?"

Culverton put one arm round lier, and held her two little hands against his breast. "Do you call my whole life sudden?" he demanded. "No, of course not," returned Dolly, seeming in no way embarrassed by her situation. "Ten years ago, I asked you to love me always," he went on, "when we were both children. I have come back to you, now that we are both grown from children into a man and woman, and I ask you the same question." "It cannot be tli& same," objected Dolly, with a smile, "because you know, Bertie, you asked it then. This must be another question*" "Nevermind that. Whatsis your answer?" '*j| "I cannot possibly give" you thfe Same answer," she said with great deliberation.

A shadow fell upon the young Earl's dark face, and for a moment he held the little hands more closely to his breast. "The Culverton 'luck' follows me still," he said sorrowfully. "What a fool

have

been to hope and fight against the Jraditions of my house!" He referred to a quaint distich long existing in the legends of the Culverton family— "As longr as a Culverton rides in his carriage,

He shall never find luck attend hlsmarrlajre." "And so," he continued, "I must go away again." "Then it was only a story," said Dolly, "when you said just now that you intended to stay "I did intend," he said sadly, "but since you no longer love me, what have I to* stay for?"

He looked so melancholy and cast down, that Dolly, though ten years older than when ho had. put that momentous question to her before, being just the same teoder-hearted lovable little soul as she had been then, could not bear to tease him any longer, and forcing her hands from the clasp of his, she threw her arms round his neck and cried— "Don't talk of going away, Bertie because I want you to stay."

It was not very long before the sound of voices were heard in the adjoining room. "Who is there asked Culverton. "Mother and Mrs. Carruthers,

should

think," answered Dolly. "Very likely they have come in for a cup of tea." "You don't know where the Squire is, darling?" he said. He wanted the interview with the Squire over. "I believe he went into the village. Let us go and speak to Mrs. Carruthers, and then we will go down to the village and yourselves No you shall buy me toffee, just as you did ten years ago. haven't seen a soul yet you know we only came back yesterday.

As she laid her hand upon the door Culverton drew her back. "Do you know that you have not kissed me 1" he said reproachfully. "Bless me!" laughed Dolly. "Am

"You had best \uake the most of today," she said laughingly, for Jasper will be home to-morrow, and he has grown dreadful quizzical." "Jasper is too thoroughly accustomed to my love for you, darling." answered Culverton. "to even notice anything we say or do. Besides, I fchall give Jasper the Culverton shotting, this season and that. I think ftill keep lnm pretty well occupied." "And next season said Dolly saueily. "Next season

shall take you out every day with me." "Oh. no! You will have grown quite tired of me by then," she said airily. "Remember the saying—

"'As long as a Culverton rides in his carriage-, He shall never find luck attend his marriage.'"

"Why. did you remind me of it?" he asked fiercely. "Let me forget it whilst I can."

Dolly opened her blue eyes to their verywidest extent. "I never saw you really cross before. Bertie," she remarked "and yCrci look horrid." "I am sure I do," he auswered, penitent in a moment. "And I've-a good mind to sell all my carriages and £o on Avit until I have really got .you safe at the Towers..— That would cheat the witches, surely!" "Superstitious creature!" laughed Dolly :—"Now shall we go in "Why, my dear boy," exclaimed Mrs Nugent as she caught sight of the Earl behind her daughter, "is it really you, come home at last

laughing. "It is not Dolly she cried. "It is not Dolly?" echoed the Mistress. "Upon whom have I to depend?" asked Culverton. "Well, no I'll answer for her, but it's the Squire I am doubtful about." "My dear boy, how pleased he will be!" cried Mrs. Nugent, drawing his head down that she might kiss him. Wo have always looked upon you as oui* own son.— Dolly, my darling, let me be the first to wisn you joy. May you be happy, love— as happy as I have been." "Thank you, mam, dear returned Dolly smiling. "And where is your father? He must hear the news at once." "Dolly thought he had gone into the village and we were going to look him up," replied Culverton. "Yes, do, dears he will be so delighted with your news," she said cordially.

So Dolly and .Lord Culverton went out together, Dolly carelessly picking up her hat as they passed through the hall. "That was the table the bread and honey was upon," remarked Culverton, as they passed along the side passage. "Yes," laughed Dolly. "Would you like some now Are you hungry "I think I shall always be hungry," he said, "until I get you all to myself at the Towers." T''f "What, like Blue-beard "Hardly, because there will be no closet into which you may not go—because no other woman but yourself will ever have the smallest place in my heart," he answered. 'l "Don't be too stiftTof that," said Dolly, with sudden sadness in the azure depths of her brilliant eyes. "You are not the first Bertram, Earl of Culverton, who made a declaration like that to a Dorothy Nugent and—she died of a broken heart." —"You don't doubt me Dolly?" he cried passionately, clasping her in his arms and looking down eagerly into her fair grave face—"you will never doubt me, my darling?" "Never—until I can no longer help myself," she replied. "Tell me you will never doubt me," he implored, all the passion of his wild Italian nature surging into his eyes. "Tell me so, Dolly "The last Dorothy Nugent trusted the last Bertram Culverton, and yet he was the cause of her death," replied Dolly. "The last Bertram Culverton was my father," said Culverton in a puzzled tone. "And the last Dorothy Nugent was my aunt," answered Dolly solemnly "and she lies over there in the churchyard, a woman who died of love." "I do not understand," he cried. "Let us go and see her grave," said Dolly softly, "and I will tell you the story." "But how is it that I never heard of it before?" he asked. "Because it was only known to a few who would not speak of it to you. We children.—Jasper and I—were not of the number. I never heard it until last autumn and then my mother told me of it. See, that is her grave—the one with the marble cross.

afraid of an English winte*. To my aunt he explained that, since they could not with propriety be married before six months at the very earliest, he found the time of waiting easier to pass away from her than when he was near her. So he went away—that time without a question as to her truth or her love. He wrote to her however, with tolerable regularity, and nearly another year yassed over.— Dolly gave up speaking of him, and never wore any of the jewelry that he had given her. "One morning there came a letter telling her that he wished to be free such a letter, Bertie, so cold, so cruel—it makes we weep to think of it. He told her that he felt his love for her had been a mistake, and that he could never love any one as he found he loved nn Italian lady of high rauk, whom he bad known intimately for eighteen months.

I feel that my engagement with you came about moi*e as a matter of course—rather from long friendship than from any real love and although if you wish it, I will keep my promise, I feel we should not be happy.' "That was not all no mention of her feelings—only thought for himself. She g-ave him his freedom and ho married your mother. But that was not all.— Dolly'Nugent had never been strong and this great grief brought on a kind of low fever, which weakened her sadly.— And besides the pain of losing her lover, and the humiliation of desertion, she had yet another pang to bear. "Not only did Lord Culverton immediately marry, but,'a month after the wedding, he brought his bride to the Toweqj! Nay, still more, he even brought her here, to see my aunt! Only think of it! He told his wife quite carelessly that Miss Nugent and lie at one time had some thoughts of marrying, but that they had seen the error of their ways. Think of the cruelty of being obliged to hear such a speech as that from the man she loved, to the woman for whom he had forsaken her and married! My aunt bore up like a true Nugent through it all but she had still to endure another pang. When you were bora, your father asked her to be your godmother and she consented.— Rather than betray to him or to any one else how bitter was her suffering but, before the day fixed for the christening arrived, my aunt was dead. She had long been in what the doctors called a 'decline,' but what less practical people called 'heart-broken,' and she burst a blood-ves-sel, and died. She kept her promise, and loved him 'for ever' and it cost her her life." "My darling," said Lord Culverton sol-

Well, father and my aunt grew up, just as Jasper and I did? only your father, Culverton, was the eldest or a large family, instead of being the only one, as you are. The young Culvertons and my father and aunt were as much together as you and I so it was not very surprising that your father fell in love with my auitf then only eighteen." "Not if she was like you," he put in. "I am exactly like her," answered Dolly. "Well, he fell in love with her, and they were engaged to be married but as she was only eighteen and he twenty, their elders thought it would be wiser not to let the marriage take place for at least a year—your grandfather held out for two. You see Dolly Nugent was a delicate sort of girl, as I am and being the only daughter, her parents were not very anxious to be rid of her, as they might have been had they had half-a-dozen. So Lord Cujlverton decreed that Lord Ella should wait until at least he was of age before he .narried. I fancy Oh at Lord and Lady Culverton were not very happy. Lord Culverton was fond of my aunt but not even her pursuasions would induce him to shorten the first year by a single day, or even make any promise as to the second. 'If yqu knew as much of married-' life aa I do, my dear,' he told her, 'you would not be very anxious to put your head into that noose—it's easier done than undone.' ".Well, not only did he insist upon the waiting—in which arrangement my grandfather supported him, but he sent Lord Ella away for a tour on the Continent—to give him a polish, he said.

"My dearest," he cried "you don't know how happy you have made me! Dolly, I will have no dangerous delay you know you might change your mind this time"— with a smile at the idea of it. "The Nugent motto is 'For ever,*" returned the girl proudly. "There never was a Nugent who went back froth his word yot and you may be sure I shall not be the one to start such an objectionable practice." "This is August," said Culverton in. a musing tone. "I shall ask for you on the first of October." "Oh!" cried Dolly demurely. "And who is to settle the question "In the first place, you of eourse.
