The ro^ui in wliicli she j and her joyous males stand, with their odd sniilea, is one of the smaller cjf the gallery. It is rather a narrow one. and I has an open window, giving upon a little court, where, in a neglecled garden- close, wallflowers are growing, and sending in their familiar perfume. Tlio sweet l'"raneia saint.s in the pi(t\iie hung on the wall directly opposite, and the rapt .Madonna, must surely smell them. If they do not, it must he because u young couple, he and slie, who are lean- ing out in their eagerness to enjoy it, have intercepted alt the homely fra- grance. Jim's eyes are slilt <jn tlie "Spring," and he is thinking lialf-absent- ly how little kinship she has wiih tlio goiteri^ green women, whom lu-> nine- teenth century disciples present to the conliding I3ritish iniblie as representa- tives nf Sandro Uilticellis manner, when his altenlion is diverted by hearing t!ie voice of .\Ii-s.

Mrs. Byng removes her eyes from the daughter, and lives them with a scarcely less degree of interest upon the then in- dicated pai'cnt. "So that is the mother, is it ? a very nice-looking woman, and what beauti- ful while hair. Mrs. I.e what did you say tlieir name wtus ? An ! Willy lias seen us, poor tjoy ! ' (laughing) "liow guilty lie looks ! here he comes !" .-^nd in point of fact tlie young man. having given a very indubdahle start and said soinelhing hurriediy lo his companion, is se;'n a.lvancing (piasi- careiessly to meet the two persons, tlie oiijcct of whose observation he has for .some niinules so unconsciously been. "Is not this a coincidence'?" cries Mrs. r.yng. wilh a rather ix-rvously playful accent; "it is a coincidi'nce, though it may nol look like onel but do nol be afraid; we know our places, we are not going lo offer lo join you !" "What sliould I be afraid of?" replies Ihe young man, the colorâ€" always a.s ready as a school inis,s' to put him to shauKv- nuuithng in his hands mio smoolh cheeks.

Amelia is, for a wonder, free from homo claims. Sybilla being more than usually bright, a kind friend having lately provided her with a niiml>er of the Lancet, containing a detailed ac- count of an operalion, which it seems nol over-sanguine lo expect she may herself be able to undergo. We all have our Blue Hoses, and to "undergo opera- tion," as she leclinically phrases it, is .Sybilla Wilson's Blue Moso. Ocilia is likewise disengaged. The latter circum- stanco is mailer for not unmixed re- joicing to Jim, Cecilia's future connec- tion wilh himself being too close for tiiin to relish the thouglil of her snme- wliiit pronouiicwl wooing of Byng being exposed in all its naivete to the clear if good-humored eyes of I5yngs mother. But in this he wrongs Cecilia! The gar- den-parly at Ihe villa of Bellosguanlo hud proved to her that the fruit is hung loo high fur her lingers to reach, and that philosophy, which had enublt.'d her genuinely to relish the wedding-cake of the man who had jilted her, now teaches her to lay to tieiirt the .sarcastic advico ottered by Jim, lo took at the young man as poor women look at diunionds. Be- yond one or two trifling gallanlries, for wliich no one can judge her harshly, she leaves him alone, even though out of gond-naliire, and from inveterate force o[ tialiit, he give.s tier several openings to make love to him. Tlw day is one of even ll.ily's best, an love is a stone bench, shaded by a honeysuckle bower, close t(j a fountain. The fouiilaia is not playing now; but round alioul it tlrst a marten wheels, dipping in the water the end of hep lU-ot wings, then a Utile bal prematurely Hits, for it is still broad daylight. Broad indeed and bounteous is the day- light of Italy. Around them is Ihe lush uniiiown grass; full of homely fleld- llowers, butler cui)s, catch-llies, daisies, ragged robin, while from some busli near by a nightingale is pouring out all the inlinito variety of her lavisliing song. She says so many different things Ihat one can nevia' feel sure that one has heard all that she has to say. Jim leans buck listening, wilh his liands behind his head, sleeped in a half-voluptuuus sadness. He Ls ojipressed by the Ihoughl of .Vmeliii's great love. Is the nighlin- gali''s splendid eloquence really the voice uf tlie poor dumb pa.ssion be.side him. lent to .\nielia to pl.:ad her cause ? The liigh-llowii poetry of the idea tills Ids heart wilh an iniaginalive yearning kindne-ss towards her.
