not exclain such susceptibility from one
who would hail 4 stranger, and ask him
to walk with her At all events thought
he such mingling of simplicity AID mod
esty is rare, and therefore interesting and
just for uoyelty's sake, he resolved to pur-
sue her acquaintance and try to draw her
out.
In vain he tried to engage Miss Howard
in conversation she was so panied aud
embarrassed, she could reply only by
monosyllables. but the light-hearted Lou

Emily was no less surprised than Sir
Edward. and pleased that she had made
a favorable impression Oh his mind (which
she could not help seeing, though she be

let pride alone love her for what she was
and Independently brave public opinion
But alas pride had gained too strong
hold upon her heart and during the re-

self as much annoyed as on the previous
day.
Immediately after dinner. she took the
arm Of Louisa and drawing her away
said
Come, let US 90 to the dressing room

the door violently.
