Snmmer's brightost sunshine bathed In golden glory the moss-grown walls of Veoris- ton Mere. Bswltohsng light and shadow played among the oreeping jnsssmlas, and diebranohesof an old pear-tree whidi en- tlrriy oevered ene ride of the house. The iuoshlne streamed it at the open windows and the vide hall door flickered amongst the dense foliage ef beeoh, laroh, sycamore, aad ohesnot, beamed en the flowers, and lay in bread patdies and fleoks en the large im- mown lawn, which was full of blue-beUs, battoroaps and daisies. An ankemj^ plaoe it was truly. The house was an old Elisa- bethaa building with three gablee, quaint stacks ef chimneys^ small windows in mas- rive frames, some ef them filled with herald- io devices in stained glass, long low rooms medksvally and imaemfcrtabfy furnished, and a vast square haU. The hall contained one or two priceless paintings, a few grim snita ef armour, stags heads with enermoas antlers, and a huge fireplace full cf ferns and flowjers down to the brazen dogs at ritiier side, with a black skin rug in front of the tiled hearth. It was lighted by three staln^ windows, which shed patehes of oelw on the stone floor. One bright gleam' of unsullied daylight came In at the open door, just within which an exquirito maible flower-gbl held a basket en hinr head filled with a lavish Inzarianotef onmsen and pur- ple flowers. There were no rigns of poverty about the j^aoe. It seemed rather as If the neglect were studied, as if, from seme whim of the owner, Natare was left to haveher own way in park and garden. And so indeed it was, nor weald Harold Yeristoi saHer any mod- em addition to the old henss. •' It wfll last my tbbe," he had said, soBM- whatiriflaUy. "I love It as Hk." Having no sen, the house and estoto weald pass to a nephew at Us death, a faot whioh was a great griri to the rid man.

No one aooestad her rither as dm oame or went. People stood aride respeot- fully to let her pass. She riwa^ had a sweet smile for tliem,,jet somehow they never ventured to speak to her. Ihe vicar, a hard-working elderly man, semething ri an asoetio, was the only friend riie had, the only viritor the Mere Hease wricomed within ita gates. He Ikved the strange silent girl aa a daughter and die too had a deep reverence for him. Yet he fonod It impesslble to interest or sagsgs her sym- pathiss in parish work.
