She remembered him perfectly, but she
thought he would rush away and leave her,

upon the stairs had been herself. And she
was so happy; music playing, flowers-bloom-

overhead: the kind, clever, delightful young

glitter, the perfume, the statues, the interest-
ingfigures of Indians, the. deer, dear, kind

he had new been so happy; .she had never
known what a wonder the palace might
be. It was all ' so lovely, , so incon-
ceivably beautiful and delightful, that she
wasnearly tipsy with delight ; her head turn-
ed for an instant, and she clung to young
Richardson’s rotecting arm. ‘
' “Are-you fa nt,-are you ii! i’” he said, aux-
iously. ‘ ' .
“0 no!” said Ella, “it's only that every-
I can bear. I—I am not often so happy ; 0,

could be so delightful in all theworld. She
looked . so charming. and un-

“Prettyman, this way to the right," cried
little Richardson, desperately ; and Pretty»

“This way, please, ady Jane; there's some

“I 'wonder what o’clock it is, and where

“its very odd we have not met.”

"I can,t imagine where they have hid
themselves" said Julia, very ‘crossly from the
gallery overhead.
“I’m so tired, and I’m ready to drop," said
Miss Lisette.
"0, let us sit,” groaned Madame dc Brice
abrac. “I can walk no more; what does it
matter if we do not find your friends?”
“Ifwe take our places at the deer,” said
Lisetie, “we shall he sure to catch them as
they pass.” ' ‘I _

. “Perhaps I may be able to go to the ball,”
said the princess doubtfully. “I—I don’t
know.” Lady Jane made believe not to be
listening. The voices in the gallery passed
on. Lady Jane having finished her ice, pull
ed out her little watch, and gave a scream of
terror. “Heavens ! my time is up,” she
said. . “Baton will frighten me out of my
wits, driving home. ' Come, child, come—
come—come. ‘Make hast e,—thank these
gentlemen for their escort,” and she went
skurrying along, , a funnylittleactive figure
followed . by the breathless young people.
They got to the door at last, where Raton
was waltin' , lookin very furious. “0, good

Richardson helped her into the chariot. ,
"And you will not forget me ?” he said in
a low voice. “I shall need no name to re-

The others came back an hour after them
looking extremely cross, and were much sur-
prised to find Lady Jane in the drawing
room. f‘I am not going back till Wednes-
day,” said theold lady. “I’ve several things

“0 dear, how tired Iaml" said Julia.
“Poor Richardson was in very. bad spir-

- “What a place it is for losing one anoth-
er,” said old Lady Jane. “1 took Ella there
this afternoon, and though I looked about .I-
could’nt see you anywhere." :
“Ella!” cried the other girls, astonished ;
was 'sho' there ?. . . But' they were
too much afraid of Lady Jane to object more
openly.
That evening, after the others left the
room, as Ella was pouring out the tea, she
summoned up courage to ask whether she
might go to the ball at Guildhall with the
others next evening. “ Prey, pray, please
‘ take me," she implored. Mrs. Ashford look-
ed up amazed by the childs audacity. .
Poor little Ella ! refused, scorned, snubggd
e
a few bitter, scalding tears dropped from her
eyes into the teacups. Colonel Ashford
.drank some of them, and asked for more su-
gar to put in his cup.
“There, never mind," he said kindly. He
felt vexed with his wife. an] sorry for the
child ; but he was as usual, too weak to in-
terfere. “You know you are too young to
go into the world, Ella. When your sisters
' get‘married, then your turn will come.
Alas would it ever come? The day’s de-
light had giqen her a longing for more ; and
now. shefelt beautiful glittering vision was
Only a vision, and over already; the cloud-
capped towers, the gorgeous palace; and
the charming prince bimsell,—.-was he a vis-
ion 100? Ah i It was too sad to think of.—
Prese‘ntly Lisetie and Julia came back: they
had been up stairs to see about their dress-
es.
“i shall wear my bird-of-paradise, and my
yellow tarlatine," said Lisette; gold and put.-
ple issuch~ a 10 7e] y contrast.”
' -‘-‘Gobert has sent me such a lovely thing,"
said‘J ulia; tricolor flounces’all the way Iup,
.—she,has so much taste."
Good old lady Jane asked her maid next
morning if any dress Was being got ready
for Miss Ella. Hearing that she was
not going, and that no preparations were
being made, she dispatched Batter on a se-‘
eret mission, and ordered her carriage at
nine o’clock that evening. She went out
herself soon-after breakfast in a hired broug-
ham, dispensing with the outriders for once.
Ella was hard at work all day for her sis.
ters; her little fingers quilled, fluted frilled,
pleated, pinned, tacked the trimmings on
their dresses more dexterously than any
dressmaker or maidservant could do. She
looked so pretty, so kind, and so tired, so
wistful, as she came to help them to dress,
that Lisett‘e vvas quite touched, and said,
“Well, Ella, -I shovldn’t wonder if, after I am
snapped up, you were to get hold of a bus-
band some day. I dare say some people
might think you' nice looking.” ,
“0, do you'think so really, Liseite ?” said
Ella, quite pleased ; and then faltering, “Do
you think x . . . . Shall you see Mr.
Richardson 2"
“Ofconrse I shall," said Lisette. “He was
talking great nonsense yesterday after we,
found him; saying that'he had- met with per-
fection ‘at la‘st,-very devoted altogether;
scarcely spoke-to me at all; but that is the
greatest prOof- of devotion, you know.
I
know what he meant very well. 1 should
not be surprised if he proposed to-night. I
don’t know whether I shall have him. I’m
always afraid of being-thrown away,” said
Lisette, looking over her shoulder at her
train.-
Ella longed to send a message, a greeting
of some sort, to Lisette’s adorer. 0, how
she envied her;what would she not have giv-
entogotoo? . . . _ .
“What! are not you dressing, child,” said
Lady Jane, coming into the room. “Are
they again obliged to call for Madame de
Bricabrac i’ I. had lookedup a pair of shoe- —
buckles for you in case you went; but keep
them all the same, they only want a little
rubbing up." .
'-0, thank you; how pretty they are;
how kind you are to me,” said Ella, sadly.
“I—I—am not going." And she burst out
crying.
It was just dreadful not to go; the poor
child had had a great draught of delight the
day before, and she was aching and sicken-
ing for more, and longing with a passion of
longing which is only known to very young
people,—she looked quite worn and pale
through her tears. ' _ - .
“Rub up your shoebuckles,—lhat will the-
tract you, said the old lady kindly. “They
are'wortha great deal of money, though
they are only paste; and if you peep Iiu my
room you will find a little pair ofIslippers
to‘wear them with. I be e they Will fit. I
could hardly get any sma l enough for you.”
They were the loveliest little white satin
slippers, with satin heels, all embroidered
with glass \beads; but small as they_ were,
they were a little loose, only Ella took care
not to say sp as she tried them on.
We all know what is coming, though little
Ella had no idea of it. The ball was at
Guildhall, one of the grandest and gayest
that ever was given in the city of London.
It wrs in honor of the beautiful young Prin-
'cess, who had just landed on our shores--
Princes, ambassadors, nobles, stars, orders
and garters and decorations, wereto be pres-
ent; all the randest, gayest, richest hap-
leet people it the country, all the most
beautiful ladies and jewels and flowers, were
to be there to do homage to the peerless
young bride. The Ashfords had no sooner
started, than Lady.Jane,:who had been very
mysterious allday, and never told anyone
that she had been to the city to procure two
enormous golden tickets which were up in
herbedroom, now come smiling very benev-
olently, into, the drawinmroom. _ . Little Ella
was s’taiidin' our in ‘the‘ balcony with her
pale'face‘an all her hair tumbling down her
back. She had been too busy to put it up
and now she was only thinking of the ball,
811d Picturing the dear little ugly disappoint-
ed face of Prince Richardson, when he should
look about everywhere'for her in vain, while
she was standing hopelessly gazing after the
receding carriage. .
“Well, my dear, have you rubbed up the
shoe-buckles? That is right,”*said the old
lady. “Now-come quick into my room and
see some of myconjuring."
Conjuring ! _ It was the , most beautiful
white net dress, ’fr'othed up to the waist, and
looped up with long grasses. . The conjuring
'was her own dear ; old pearl necklace thh
the diamond clasp and a diamond star for
her hair. It was a bunch of grasses and dc!-
icate white azalias fora head-dress, and over
all the froth a great veil of flowing white net
The child opened her violet eye i, gasped,
screamed, and began dancing about the
room like a mad thin ,' jumping, bounding,
clapping her hands, a i so softly and gayly,‘
and yet so lightly, in such an ecstacy of tie-
light, that Lady J anc felt she was more than
rewarded. ‘ _ I' .' ' v

“Ah! there she is at last i" cried Mr. Rich-
ardson, whowas taming carefully round and
round with the energetic Lisette. : . ._ ‘
“Whal- do you mean ?” said Lisette. I
Can you fancy her amazement when she
looked- round and saw Ella appearing in her
snow and sunlight dress, looking so beauti-
ful that everybody turned to wonder at her,
and to admire? As for Ella, she saw noone
nothing ;' she was looking up- and 'down, and
right and left, for the. kind little pale plain
face which she wanted. . '
“Excuse me one minute, Miss Lisette,” .
said Mr. Richardsou, leaving poor Lisette
planted in’the middle of the room, and rush-s
ing forward. : _ , , _ .
“Are you engaged,” Ella heard a breath-
less voice saying in her ear, “for the next
three, six, twenty dances ? ' Ivam so delight-
ed ‘you-have come l ‘I thought you never
were coming.” _ . .
Julia had no partner at all, and was stand-
ing close by the entrance with 'her mother. .
They wore both astounded at the” apparition
Mrs. Ashford came forward to make sure
that her e es were not deceiving her. Could
it be—? es—no—yes, it was Ella. She
flicked her fan indignantly into an alderman’s
,eye, and looked so fierce, that the child be-
ganto tremble. -
“Please forgive me, .mamma," said Ella,
piteously. . - I
“Forgive you! never,” said Mrs. Ashford,
indignant. . “What does all this mean, pray-l”
she continued. “Lady Jane, I really must

was so angry she could scarce! speak, and
‘ partly because she could not a 0rd to quar-
rel 'willi Lady Jane until the season was
over. . . . :
“You really must forgive me, dear Lydia,”
said Lady J aue. “She wanted to come so
much, I could not resist bringing her.”
Webers inspiring last waltz was being
played ; the people and music went waving
to and fro like the waves of the sea, sudden
sha‘rp notes of exceeding sweetness sound-
ed, and at the sound the, figures all swayed
in harmony. The feet kept unseen measure
to the music; the ‘ harmonious rhythm
thrilled them all. The‘music was like an
enchantment, which kept them moving and
swayin in circles and in delightful subjec-
tion. . assifude, sadness, disappointment,
Ella’s alarm, all melted why for the time;
pulses beat, and the dancers seesawed to the
measure. » _
Allt tevening young Richardson danced,
with El a and with one else: they scarce-
ly knew how the timewcnt. It Was a fairy
world: they were flying and swimmingin
melody,—the fairy hours went by to, music,
in' delightful companio iship. Ella did ,not_
care for anything that might. happen! she
wasso happy in the moment, she almost
forgot to look for Lady' Jane‘s sympathetic
glance. ' . ' .
“You must meet me in the ladies‘ cloak
room pnnctually at half past eleven,” her
patroness had whispered toiher.‘ “I cannot
keep Rafon, with his bad cough, .; out after
twe ve o'clock. Mind you are punctual, for
I have promised not to keep him Waiting.”
“Yes, yes, dear Lady J one," said Ella, and
away she danced again to the music. And
time w‘ent'on, and Julia had. no partners;
and Colonel Ashford came up to his wife.
saying “I’m so glad you arranged for Ella
too. How nice she is looking! What is
the matter with Julia; why don’t she dance.”
Tumty, tumty, tumty, went the instruments.-
And meanwhile Mr. Richardson was saying,

“Listen, first,” said Ella, trembling very

“Ella, I am going,” said Lady Jane, tap~,

dear—’ . . . _
1 “One. word 1" cried Richardson, eager-
y“You can stay with' your mother, if; you
like,”' the old lady Went. on; preoccupied;—
she was thinking of her coacbman’s ire“—
“but I advise you to come with me." :
“O, pray, pray stay !” said young Rich.-
ardson ; “where is your mother ? Let me go
and askher ‘3". _ , *
“You had better go ourseli, Ella,” said
old Lady Jane. “ ill you give me your
‘arm to the door, Mr. Richardson?"
Ella went up to- Mrs. Asbford—sbe was
bold with happiness iO-ili ht—and made her
request. “Stay with me . certainly not, it
is quite out of the question. You do me
great honor,” said the Lady sarcastically.
“Lady Jane brought you, Lady Jane must
take you back,” said the __stepmother. “Fol-
l'ow your chaperone if you ple ise, I have no
room for you in my brOughain. Go directly,
Miss! ” said Mrs. Ashford, so savagely,
that thepoor child was-quite frightened and
set of running after the other two.
She would have caught them up, but at
that instant Lisette—who had at' last secured
a partner—came waltzingup in such a vio-
lent, angry way, that she bumped ri ht up
against the little fiy-ng maiden an nearly
knocked her down. E! it gave a low cry of
pain ; they hadItr‘odden on her foot roughly,
—they had wounded her; her little satin
slipper had come off. Poor Ella stooped and
tried to pull at the slipper, but other couples
came sur ing up, and she was alone, and
frighten , and thou ht she never should
get through the crow . She made ,the best
of her way to the cloak-room :it seemed as if
she had been hours getting there. At last
she reached it, only to see to her‘ dismay, as
she went in at one door the other two going
out of anothera long way off! she called,
but they did not hear her, and at the same
moment St. Paul’s great clock began slowly
to strike twelve. “My cloak, my cloak, any-
thing, please," she cried in great agitation
and anxiety; and a stupid, bewildered maid
hastily threw a shabby old shawl over her
shoulders,—it belonged to some assistant” in
the place. »
Little Ella, more and more frightened,
pulled it up as she hurried along the. block-
ed passages and corridors all lined with red
and thronged with people. They all stared
at her in surprise as she flow along. Present-
ly her net tunic caught in a doorway and
