"”&rbara Mervyn looked!
up the stairs, and saw a man de-
scending them. He looked as if
he had stepped out of one of Ti-
tiau’s pictures He was tall,^and
of tilie stature; he wore a coat" of
brown velvet, and his hair was iron
grey . His eyes were very dark
and piercing, and at first sight
Barbara thought his was the stern
est face she had overseen; the next
instant she deemed it the saddest,
but it was unquestionably a very
handsome and ap aristocratic face
As she looked upward the man
looked down, anil suddenly perj
cevved the beautiful bit of colour
which had entered his shadowed
hall:* the copper-gold hair, the
starry violet hded eyek, the ex
quisite cnmplection, and as1 he saw
a strange expression fur an instant
swept over his face.. Barbara was
used to admiration, and she knew
that the man’s expression did not
mean that—it looked more like
alarm: but it was gone in a flash.
“Who is that,. Rayment?” he
asked, ip slow, musical, but dis-
approving tones. \
‘‘She says she is the new gov-
erness. Sir Feston ” The man
.knew his master’s tones.
“I am the new governess,” said
Barbara, composedly. “Have 1

later, Sir Feston ”
He bowed again, and almost
looked, surprised,1 but he pi°v*d
aside, and Barbara tripped up-
stairs without ventujring a glance
l>ehind her
“He pan’t turn me oiit of the

too pale for lessons. We will put
them off until you get a little- col-
our in your cheeks. Now, Bebe,
let qs have some tea, and you shall
pour it out." ,/
Barbara sank into an easy-ohalr
close to the fire, and drew the
fairylike child within her arms,
smiling into her face with a most
irresistibly charming expression.
Bebe Catnegie glanced solemn-
ly, seriously, searchingly into Bar-
bara’s face for fully half a minute
those soft, wistful, beautiful eyes
touched Barbara, strangely, and
tben,.wit;h a happy little cry, the
child threwAier arms around her
new governess.
“I shall like
you very much. I
am glad you have come—glad,
[glad!” V
“You (ittle darling!” said Bar-
bara, holding her clqse; and ps
they posed thus in the blaze of the
firelight the door opened, and a
woman stood and surveyed the
scene.r " As Barbara^ looked up
toward the doorway she gave a
shiver; a fierce gleam of. hatred
shone in the woman’s eyes; her
face, as it loomed from the shadows,
held the most sinister expressTon.
When she saw herself observed
came forward. , [
"I don’t know quite whom you
be, miss,” “she said' to Babara,
rudely “I don’t think we’re expect
ing you.” - . , ^
“OhI nurse, she is my governess,
and I like her very, very - much. ]-
Is she not sweet and pretty, and
young and beautiful?” crieff Bebe,
with enthusiasm. /
“Humphl” sniffed th’e woman.
“Pretty is a| pretty does; and I un-
d-rstood as Miss Mervyn was a
respectable elderly person ”
“lam quite respectable,” replied
Miss Barbara, smiling at sinister
the face, but the -tfVlF look did oot
soften;- then Miss Mervyn grew
vexed.- “I am tired,” she said,
haughtily, “and would like some
te?. Will you kialy give orders
that it shall be brought here? We
will have it on thip table by the I
fire, flebe.'” ' j
“Miss Bebe nas her tea at six—” |
e nurse, disagreeably: but

I am here. She is under my care,”'
"While you,are here, miss—ex-
actly,” said the woman, wifh a
gleam in her eyes more lurid and
savage, and her thin lips set in one
line.
“While I am here I shall take
full control of .my pupil,”- Barbara
said. “Shall ^ring for my tea, or
will you give /the order? What a
horrid old wotpan, Bebe”—as the
nurse stalked away. “Has she
been here long? Is she always ffke
that?" , , . —
“Nurse has been/here-^Jt my

said Bebe, with a sigh.. “She does
not Hke yod, Miss Mervyn, I can
see that,”
"NjO, she does not love me,”
Barbara said, with a laugh; “but
.perhaps I shall manage to survive
that if you will love me, Bebe”
“I do love you," said the child,
gravely, “and papa will lpve you

Barbara made a wee/grimace,
and shook her head.
“NO, you are wrong there,
