CHAPTER IV. LOVE UNDEB THE LAMPS. 'Hew charmint^ly cool it is here,' Miss Dangerfield's fresh young voice is saying, as they come in 'how be- witching is this pale moon-shiny sort of lamplight among the orange trees and myrtles; and, oh 1 Mr. Dantree, how doliciuud that list waltz was. You have my slep asuobody else has it, and you wal z so Ughtâ€" ^so light It has been a haayenly evening to- gether.' Sue threw herself into a rustic chair as she spoke, where trailing vinos and crimson bloom formed a brilliant arch over head, and looked up at him with eyes that shoue like stars, '1 wonder if it is only Decause balls and parties are such rare things to me that I have enjoyed this so greatly, or because I am just seventeen, and ev- eiytliiug IS delightful at seventeeu or because â€" becauae â€" Mr. Dautree, I wonder if you have enjoyed yourself?' 'I have been iu Paradise, Miss Dau- gerfield.' 'And bow gloomily ho says it â€" and laugheed Kathcriue. 'Your paradise cau't bo auj- great thiags jr.Jgiug by your fiicj at this ni.Jipaiit.' 'Miss Duugerfiold, it is because my paradise has been so perilously sweet that I look gloomy. The world out- side, bleak and barren, must Lave looked trjbly black to Eve wheu she left Eden.' •Eve shouldn't have left it then â€" she should have had sense and left the tempting apple alone.' •Ah, but it was so tempting, aud it hung so deliciously withm reach. And Eve forgot, as I have done, every- thing, the fatal penalty â€" all but the heayenly sweetness of the passing moment.' 'Well,' Miss Dangerfield said, flut- tering her fan, aud luokiug upward, 'I may be stupid, Mr. Dantree, buti don't quire catch yonr metaphor. Eve ate that apple several thousand years ago, aud was vory properly puuisued, but what has that to do with you ' 'Becauso I, lilie Eve, have eaten my apple to-night, and to-morrow the gates of my earthly paradise close up- on me for ever.' Divested of its adjancts,thcre wasn't much, perhaps, iu this speech but given a yount; lady of seventeen, of a poetical and sentimental turn of mind â€" soft, sweet music swelling in the distance â€" a dim light â€" the fragrance of tro^uc flowers aud warmth and a remarkably good looking young man â€" it implies a great deal. He certainly looked dangerously handsome at this moment, with his pale Byrouio face, fathomless dark eyes, his whole air of impassioned melancholy â€" a beauty as fatal as the serpeut to Eve iu his own allegory. Ho doubt that serpent came to-our frail first mother iu a very beautiful guise "else she had never listened to his seductive words. The soft white lace, the cluster of blash-roses on Kathenue's breast, rose and fell. She was only seventeen, and over head and ears iu loye, poor child. She laughed at his romantic words, but there was a little tremor in her clear tones as she spoke â€" 'Such a sentimental apeech, Mr. Dautree. Sussex is a very nice county, and Scarswood a very agreeable place, no doubt but neither quite constitute my idea of paradise. And what do you mean by saying you leave to-mor- row ' 'I mean 1 dare stay no longer. I should never have come here at allâ€" J wish to Heaven I never had.' It was drawing near.

'If I wero iu his place, I would kick Mr. Gaston Dautree out of the room. Good Heaven I if I should marry this girl and it should get to Marie's cars I If â€" I shall marry her. come what may. Eight thousand at stake, and Marie the only obstacle in the way. and hundreds of leagues of i^ca aud land between me and that obstacle.

CHAPTER V. before bbekfast. In the bleak, raw dawn of the wet October morning Sir John Danger- field's guest went home. When the lamp still gleamed among the flowers on the landing and stairsways, Mrs. Vavasor, trailing the yellow glimmer of her silk robe behind her, wen up to her own room -went up with the fag end of a tune between her lips, a fev- erish lasire iu her eyen, a feverish flush, not all rouge, in her cheeks, looking, as a hopeless adorer at the foot of the stairs quoted "In her lovely silken mormnr. Like aa aagel clad with wings." The arloror bad taken a great deal of ottsmpagneat supper, and hiccoughs ipterrapted the poetic flow of the quo- tatiou. So also had Mrs. Vavasor herself. Perhaps a little of the brilUaney ot eyes ind«oloiir were due totheOliquut,. bat then a eood deal more was owing to triamph. Everything was geiug on so well. The little debt sbe had waited so long to pay off was in a fair way to receive a full rcoeipt. Peter Dangerfield was pHaai as-^K in her hands.
