CHAPTER v.

Great was Ida's confusion at the intro
duction of a stranger, for she suspected he
had been listener. Mr. Southmayd, pity
ing her embarrassment. asked for one Of
his fayoriie airs and Ida, soon forgetting
all save the sentiment Of the song, recover
ed her composure, quite unconscious Of the
sensation she was creating in the heart Of
young Howard. When she had finished,
the silence that followed was sweeter praise
than the most studied applause could have
been; and nfter an hour spent in agreeable
conversation, Ida departed, having other
engagements to fulfill.
And why is il that Ida now looks for
ward to her hours with the young South
msyds. with such pleasure Howard had
become quite an acquisition in their circle,
occasionally accompanying them in some
song, or taking book with the osiensible
purpose Of reading quietly TO watch Ida
unconsciously strengthening his feeling Of
admiration for her into deep and rooted
affection.
And how fares il with Ida? Alas she
did not stop TO analyze her feelings but
conscious Of the pleasure she enjoyed 10 his
society, she was innocenlly tightening the
silken cord that bound her. But she ives
soon to awaken from her dream. One
morning, while Ida was awaiting the en-
trance OF her pupils in the music room,
young Howard entered with an open letter
in his hand, and finding Ida alone, thus adj
dressed her
81 have Just received letter from my
mother requesting my return home. VIII
you allow me TO thank you, Miss Woodruff,
for the many delightful hours have spent
in your society" As he spoke, he kept his
eye inienily fixed upon her.
Poor Ida she felt as though an arrow
had entered her heart. A deadly pale
ness overspread her counlenance, but true
TO her womans nature, she endeavored ia
conceal her feelings and. looking up with
all the composure she could assume, caught
the inien, gaze Of Howard, which sent the
tel.tale blood manIling over her brow anc
neck, revealing that which she would viii
lingly have hidden.
Aud why did young Howard's face bright
en- with such intense deligbtr He felt he
was beloved, and At once determined e
seize The happiness presented 10 him. Tax
ing Idais hand, he respectfully asked per
mission to request il as gifi from her pa
rents. Not until then did Ida truly realiz,
how deep was her affection for Howard; bu
when she fell that for him she was wilinI
to leave mother so devoledly beloved, tn
feeling was too painful, and she burst int
tears. Her lover fully sympathizing witt
her, sndeAyored TO calm her agitation, II
