[Continued.] "Yes every one admires it. It is very old. YOU know one part of tlie Towers is older than all the rest." "I have heard so. I should like to see the library," says Paul, looking at her expectantly. "You can see it now, if you wish," says Mona, quickly tho thought that she may he able to entertain him in some fashion that will not require con versation is dear to her. She therefore takes his arm and leads him out of the hall-room, and across the halls into tlie library, which is brilliantly lighted, but just: at this moment empty. I forget if I described it before, but it is a room quite perfect in every respect, a beautiful room, oak-paneled from floor to ceiling, with this peculiarity about it, that whereas three of the walls have their panels quite long, without a break from top to bottom, the third— that is, the one infwliich the fire-place has been inserted—has the panels of a smaller size, cut up into pieces from about one foot broad to two feet long. Tlie Australian:, seems particularly struck with this fact. lie stares in a thoughtful fashion nt the wall with the small panels, seeming blind to the other beauties of the room. "Yes, it is strange why that wall Bhould be' different from the others," Iona says, rather glad that he appears interested something besides herself. "Hut it is altogether quite a nice old room, is it not?" "It is," replies he, absently. Then, below his breath, "and well worth fight ing for." ]5ut .Mona does not hear this last ad dition she is moving a chair a little to one side, ami the faint hoiee it makes drowns the Bound of his voice. This perhaps is as well. She turns up one of the lamps, whilst: Rodney still continues his contempla tion of the wall before him. Conversa tion languishes, then dies. Mona, rais ing her hand to her lips, suppresses val iantly a yawn. "I liopo you are enjoying yourself," she says, presently, hardly knowing what else to say. "Enjoying myself?—No. I never do -that,'.' says Hodney, with unexpected frankness. 'You can hardly mean that?" says Jloiift, with pome surprise. ''J do.

"But surety thxro must "be moments when you "I neveyhave pitch moment," intjfc. fuplahe, pjoodily, "Dear me! what a terribly unpleas ant young man," thinks Mona, at her wits' end to know what to say next. Tapping her fingers in a perplexed fash ion 011 tlie table nearest her, she won ders when he will cease his exhaustive survey of the walls and give her an op portunity of leaving the room. "15ut tliat is very sad fo^'. you, isn't, jtV" pl (i pays, feeling herself 111 duty wound to say something. "I dare say it is lint the fact remains. I don't know what is the matter with inc.

And Yet I doubt it.

What •he .pan p6ssib)y mean is unknown to her, but she is aware of some inward,, feeling, some instinct such as animals possess, that warns her to beware of Ititn. She shrinks frorii him, and in do ing so, a slight fold of :her dress catches in the handle of a writing-table, and de tains her.

"And do as your conscience dictates, and you will gain not only iny respect, but that of all men." "Bah!" lie says,. impatiently, rising from the ground and turning away. Her answer has frozen him again, has dried up the momentary desire for her approbation above all others: that only a minute ago had agitated his breast. At this moment Geoffrey comes into the room and goes up to Mona. vHe takes 110 notice whatever of her com panion. "Mona, will you come and sing -us something?" he says, as naturally as though the room is empty.. "Nolly has been telling 'tlie duchess about your voice, and she wants to hear you. Any thing simple,"—seeing she looks a lit tle distressed at the idea "you sing that sort of thing best." "I hardly think our dance is ended yet, Mrs. Rodney," says the Australian, defiantly, coming leisurely forward, his eyes bent somewhat insolently upon Geoffrey. "You will come, Mona, to oblige the duchess," says Geoffrey, in exactly as even a tone as if the other had never spoken. Not that he cares in the very least about the duchess but he is de termined to conquer here, and is also desirous that all the world should ap preciate and admire the woman he loves. "I will come, of oourse," says Mona, nervously, "but I am afraid she will be disappointed. You will excuse me, Mr. Rodney, I am sure," turning graciously to Paul, who is standing with folded arms in the background. "Yes, I excuse t/oK," lie says, with a peculiar stress upon tho pronoun, and a rather strained smile. The room is fill ing with other people, tlie last dance having plainly come to an end, Geof frey, taking Mona's arm, leada hor into the hall. "Dance no more to-night with that' fellow," he says, quickly, as they get' outside. "No?" Then, "Not if you dislike it,. of course. But Nicholas made a point of my.being nice to him. I did not know ^ou would object to my dancing with "Well, you know it now. I dt ab ject," says Geoffrey, in a tone he has never used to her before.

Iler lips quiver, but flho drawSNierself up to her fullest height, and, throwing up her head, walks with a gait that is almost stately into the presence of the duchess.
