“Excellent," exclaimed Lady Carisbrook, “I 
am sure that I cannot do better than follow such 
a capital example. Will you favor mo with your 
company at my house to dinner to-morrow, at 
seven, Sir Charles?” 
“ 1 shall be most happy," he said. 
Lily St. Aubyn came up and they were separat¬ 
ed ; but Lady Carisbrook had made the engage¬ 
ment, calculating upon her husband's absence, 
without mcanimr any barm, though she ought to 
have known that it was wrong to do anything 
which she could not tell his lordship. 
The greater partuf the day was passed by her 
in buying flowers In Co vent Garden, and making 
preparations for n charming little dinner, such 
as would at once display her taste and the re¬ 
sources of her establishment. 
In the afternoon she went to her bed-room to 
laydown and rest for an hour. She was tired. It 
had been quite late when she left Mrs. St. Au- 
byn's, and, not used to such hours, she found it 
difficult io recover from the fatigue which they 
occasioned. 
To her surprise, she was disturbed, as she was 
about to close her eyes for a refreshing sleep, by 
a knocking at the door. 
“It is only 1, Emily,” said a voice, which she 
recognized instantly. 
“Good gracious, my husband! What brings 
him back? Can he suspect?” she begau, when 
her 8peonluUons were cut short by the entrance 
of Lord Carisbrook, who caught her in his arms 
and kissed her tenderly, and cried: 
“Here I am again, dearest, sooner than you 
expected. Ah, what is t his? You do not seem 
so pleased to see me as 1 thought you would be.” 
“ You frightened me. I was half asleep, and 
my nerves are a little weak. I was at Mrs. St. 
Aubyn’a last night till late,” she answered, rub¬ 
bing her eyes and sitting on the edge of the bed 
wrapped as she wits in the capacious folds of a 
pink dressing gowu. “But what brought you 
away from Caldecott In such a hurry ?" 
“A relative of mine—who made a fortune in 
India, became eccentric and lived in London 
under another name—Is dead, died yesterday in 
fact, and his solicitor has written to me to say 
that lie has left me the greater portion of his 
wealth.” 
“There is nothing very Interesting about 
that,” her ladyship said, “ we have as much 
money us wo want already. Is that all that has 
brought you up in such a hurry?-as for mo I 
would not have gone across the street for such 
news.” 
" You have very strange ideas," replied Lord 
Carisbrook, with a tone of disappointment. 
“ You were sorry at seeing me, and now you 
dou't care for the Icguoy.” 
“ I do like people to be exact and consistent.

Woman’s Vengeance ! 
How many wives are there hi our broad land 
who pray earnestly, daily, “lead us not into 
temptation! 
They may be pure In heart and 
unblemished in reputatiou, but still the tempter 
will sometimes come in spite of every watch and 
' ward. Let those who have been thus tempted 
: read the trials and struggles of our heroine, and 
i it will not only interest them deeply, but render 
them stronger, purer, and better fitted to meet 
i and conquer temptation, let it present itself in 
whatever form it may. 
On a fine day in the fall of the year, Lord and 
l,ti<ly Carisbrook were Heated under the shadoof 
a spreading beech tree, in the gardens attached 
i to Caldecott Ifall, which was the name of their 
ancestral abode. His lordship was reading a let¬ 
ter be had reoclvod from bis brother in London, 
and when he had completed Its perusal, he ex¬ 
claimed: 
“Hubert says in his letter, my dear, that lie 
bus dispatched to us Sir Charles Evandcr, a 
young baronetof whom 1 have heard something. 
He Ini friend of Hubert's, who knows his mother 
very well, and he wishes him to be kept foraomo 
time in the country, if possible, as the delights 
of London are rapidly demoralizing him.” 
“1 shall be glad to extend our hospitality to 
any friend of your brother Hubert's," unswered 
Lady Carisbrook, who never contradicted her 
husband in anything. 
“This letter goes on to say,” continued ills 
lordship, “ that his mother. Lady Evandcr, 
wishes him to renew his actpuinlance with the 
81. Aubyus, who live near us. Sir Charles and 
Lily St. Aubyn met In town, and If a match 
could be arranged between them, it would be 
most desirable.” 
“Wo will do what we can," said her ladyship, 
favoring her husband with a sweet smile. “Iam 
sure we have been so happy In our wedded lire, 
dearest Albert, that we need have no compunc¬ 
tion in ludueing two young people to uni le them¬ 
selves together.” 
After some further conversation it. was de¬ 
cided that they would gladly receive Sir Charles 
Evandcr aa u guest, and do all they could to 
make him forget the delights of the town by 
Introducing to his notice tho many charms of a 
country tire. 
A week elapsed and Sir Charles Evandcr ar¬ 
rived at Caldecott nail. 
He was tall, handsome, well-made, and had 
that indescribable, easy, well-bred air, which can 
only be acquired front moving in tho best 
society. There was magic in his eyes, and Lady 
Carisbrook had not been in his company half an 
hour before she felt fascinated by Ids glance, 
and, turning away with a shudder, said to her¬ 
self: 
“That is indeed a man for a woman to love, 
now happy should Miss Hr. Aubyn be with such 
a suitor." 
Lord Carisbrook fouud the youg baronet's 
society as agreeable as did his wife. 
Young as he was. ho hud seen a groat deal of 
the world, which had made him somewhat of a 
cynic. In reality ho dazzled, rather than made 
a real impression on his friends, for there was 
nothing genuine or sincere about him. He 
turned everything into ridicule and laughed at 
everybody. 
Carisbrook soon discovered that he was an ac¬ 
complished sportsman, and that t he amusements 
of the oily had not rendered him iu any way ef¬ 
feminate. 
They wont out. together on shooting expedi¬ 
tions, and always came back with a full bag, Sir 
Charles being an excellent shot., and thoroughly 
at home with dog aud gun. 
There were so many places on tho estuto to go 
to, so much to see, and so much to do during Sir 
Charles Cylinder's first week at Caldecott, that 
Lily St. Aubyn wits forgotten until Lady Oaris- 
brimk exclaimed: 
“ W© have some most agreeable neighbors, 
Evandcr, to whom I shall fed delighted to In¬ 
troduce you. Among others L may mention St. 
Aubyna." 
"or Book Hill?" said Sir Charles. “Yes; I 
have mot them, and shall be glad to renew the 
acquaintance. Lily is a line girl, and she assist¬ 
ed me to pass some time Very pleasantly in 
London." 
"We will invite them to meet you at dinner. 
Sir Charles," exclaimed Lady Carisbrook. “ But 
you must not. suppose that we have any design 
upon your heart In bringing yon In contact 
with the most lovely young lady In this part of 
the country.” 
Sir Charles Evandcr laughed and mailo answer: 
" 1 do not think I ant so impressionable as you 
seem to Imagine, although I will own myself 
susooptible of a woman's charms." 
Presently Lord Carisbrook went to the other 
end of the room, and Evandcr hud utt opportu¬ 
nity of saying in a low tone: 
“ My heart is gone already. Lady Carisbrook." 
“Indeed! Stnoe when, may I ask?" she re¬ 
plied, with it slight elevation of the eyebrows. 
“Since I entered this house. Since 1 first be¬ 
held you. Lady Carisbrook," ho said, wth a 
glance of admiration. 
“Sir Charles," exclaimed her ladyship, in a 
tone of severe rebuke, “ if ynu dare to repeat

I was going out to dinner 
to-night, and-" 
“ What is to prevent you?" interrupted Caris¬ 
brook. “I have engaged myself to the solicitor 
and shall very likely stay late, talking over mat¬ 
ters with him. I shall uot bo home till twelve 
certainly, so you can go where you like without 
paying the slightest attention to me. 
Imprinting another kiss upon her lips Lord 
Carisbrook took his departure, called a cab, 
drove to bis club, and told his friends of his 
good fortune, and ordered dinner. 
Her ladyship determined to be brave, and re¬ 
ceive Sir Charles Evandcr, though prudence dic¬ 
tated the adoption of a very different course. 
It happened that Sir Charles was more consid¬ 
erate. He belonged to the sumo club as Lord 
Carisbrook, and met him there In theaftemoon. 
“How do?" he said. "I thought you a hun¬ 
dred miles away in tho country." 
“ At Caldecott,” replied bis lordship. “ I have 
only Just returned. Business brought me back. 
It was a great pity. 1 never saw liner weather 
for shooting." 
Sir Charles went to the writing-room and 
wrote a. letter to Emily In which he said that ho 
had met hor husband, and hoped she would, 
uuder the circumstanoees, excuse him for break¬ 
ing his engagement, as he had no wish to meet 
Carisbrook, and be sincerely trusted that this 
evening alone was only a pleasure deferred. 
In the hall he did not see Carisbrook, who 
was put ting on his hat, and he said to the purler 
distinctly In his lordship’s hearing: 
“ Give this letter to a commissionaire, aud let 
him take it to Lady Carisbrook, Wilton Cres¬ 
cent," 
These words fell like a thunderbolt upon his 
lordship. who,{halfstupefied, watched Sit Charles 
re-enter the club. He was himself going for a 
stroll round St. James's Square,In whichhisclub 
was situated, to get an appetite for dinner, and 
changing his mind, he put down his hat, and 
extending Lis hand to tho porter, said: 
“Give me that letter; it’s for my wife, and I 
can deliver it. Most probably Sir Charles Evan- 
der did not see me, or he would have asked me 
to take charge of it." 
The porter did as he was requested, and Lord 
Carisbrook, fuming like an angry lion, went up 
staim to the smoking-room to read the letter at 
his leisure, unobserved and uninterrupted. 
Its contents astounded him. They, indeed, 
were calculated to throw suspicion upon the 
conduct of any woman; and if a man had 
plunged a knife into hla heart, he' would uot 
have felt more exquisite pain than he did 
in reading this compromising letter of Sir 
Charles Evander’a. 
"Xhi3 is terrible!" he muttered, wiping the 
perspiration, which had gathered on bis brow in 
great drops, away with his hand. “ No wonder 
Emily was not anxious to see me. This is how 
she enjoys her independence. But the affair 
cannot rest here. It was. Indeed, an unlucky 
day for me when Sir Charles Evander crossed 
the threshold. Bitterly shall he repent Ins 
treachery. I must kill that man, or he shall kill 
me.” Tho continuation of this powerful story
