thank you"
Saunders inwardly reoiced that he had
missed the old gentleman, but be did not
say so.
An abrup question OF the gentleman
gave q dangerous turn to the conversation.
"Do you believe in love at first sight, Miss
Wharton" Fanny blushcd.

Until yesterday did not. Then became

She immedia' ely attempted to turn the
conversation.

"Oh am sure he will like you'll

uncle at home. Mr.. Wharton received him
very cordially. An animated conversation
ensued, until temporary absence OF Fanny
gave Saunders the opportunity to broach the
subject nearest his heart! Mr. Wharton
heard him calmly to the end; but while his
reply was entirely devoid Of passion, it fell
like deathblow on the hopes Of the ardent

"Mr. Saunders, will mol deny that am

The sequel OF such history may easily
