bell which had curtailed their morning
walk, again sounded 10 their ears, they
were surprised to find how swiftly time
had flown, and chagrined that the COM

often allowed to interrupt the feast OF rea-

At four O'Clock the military stranger
handed Miss Simper into an elegant gig,

road, and as often finger al a romantic
spot, or secluded cottage.
Several days had now elapsed, and
neither parry had made any disclosure to
The other upon the important subject OF
finance. AS they were drawing near the
end of their journey, the Major thought
it advisable to breach this delicate mat
