come with digniied step up the stair
way. You never run, Laurence, and now
| remember it, you never laugh aloud.
How strangely my thoughts run on from
one thing to another don't theyr'
~ es, Adie, you have some strange
conceits. think you come of nomade
race, for you are erratic in fancy, and if
| do not take heed, you will be erratic in
body too; you have taste for wandering
or you would content yourself in this lit
tie nest"
''But Grizzie, Laurence ?" said Adie,
in tone of soft reproach. "Think, if
you lay buried in that gloomy old church
yard where the children play about.
whether you would like me neverto come
to look at the mound over you. / should
feel sad in heaven if / knew you had for
gotten me. In my grave think should
know your footfalltrom others that would
pass, and / am sure your very shadow
would warm me in my cold bed when it
was cast uponit it. And Grizzie loved me
Laurence"
"And love you, Adie."
"1 es, but 1t is not the same. | had
grieved him; can never tell him any
more how sorry am; but you, can put
my arms about your neck and kiss YOU
so, and so-and you hear me and are
pleased. Laurence, must 60 back to
Nevis Court"
"Some day, sweetheart, some day; but
not yet" He put his arm around her,
and drew her down to his breast. "Adie
do you think we shall love each other as
well at Eversley?"
She looked at him in surprise, and
asked, "Why should we mott"
because we shall have more difficult
ties than we have here" he made ans
wer. "Here we live for each other-to
enjoy our life, to be happy; there, Unjust
work at the old craft and be careful and
watchtul. 1t will seem another world
almost"
10, Laurence, we carry our sunshine
with us, do we not? We are independ-
ant of time and place, being together"
He did not reply, but twitched the
leaves unconsciously from spray which
fell over him,
'Why need we care for being poor
while we love each other?" Adie went
on caressingly. 81 have never been
usedto luxury until you broughtme here.
And would you never weary forchange?'
Never with you, my darling, never!'
said he, with tender earnestness. 'Adie,
let us keep our summer-day rs long as
it will stay with us. 1t will be time e.
nough to think of flight when the me-
cessity for change shows itself in our
WEAKNESS of each other. / shall think
you tired of me if you want to get back
into the old life so soon"
Adie wondered how Laurence dare
breathe such suspicion; she did not
think she should forgive him, at least
not yet; but she added, with a kiss, to
show that she was not tired, or firing or
ever likely to tire, she would give up all
thought OF going home for the present.
81 wish you would not call NEVIS
Court, hOnae," said Laurence, with q
slight tone of annoyance; "yeur home is
in my heart"
She promised not to offend again; and
the memory of poor Grizzie being set
aside once more, Adie returned to her
favorite song, and Laurence to his pri-
vate thoughts. Meantime the sun had
gone down; even the red reflection onthe
sea and sky had vanished, and the land
scapes was overspread with solemn
tint of gray. With continuous moan
the south wind came over the waves,
which kept up their sad, and symphony
without pause; the vine-leaves stir ed
and rustled softly till night came down
upon them with its dusk silence; dark
ness there was none, for the moon arose
and the stars shone out upon the skirts
of twilight till the day melted impercep-
tibly into night. And still Adie went =
on with her song:
Isl jaws cent ceurs,
lis ne seraient remplis que de tot
81 avis cent occurs,
Acun d'oux n'amerait ailleurs." 4
Laurence rose suddenly and clasping
her in his arms, broke out, in rich deep
voice, into the refrain, which he had
learnt from her frequent repetition of it.
ma mic,
Ma deuce annie,
Responds mes amOurs;
Fidele
A cette belle
Jel'amerai toujours."
And with one long farewell look over
the widespread prospect, they entered
the cottage.
