"An.omen very quickly put an end
to-" said Mr.. Denbigh, producing from
his pocket a case of Omfortable- look
ing instruments. 81 will nip it off fol
you in a moment"
But Elsie held back her hand
No, Philip she said, pleadingly
"pIease let me keep it on till tomorrow
If it does not come off easily before we
go to church, you shall take it off for me
then; but can't quite say good by to
the old life till l begin the new one.n
There was pause; then Philip took
her hands almost roughly, and held heI
from him while he looked searchingly
in her face. 1t blushed under his gaze,
though again the eyes were raised fear
lessly and wondering.
"Elsie," he said, il hoarse voice, t'ii
your heart is gone down into the grave
with that other man, say so. Do not let
me give all and get nothing"
ooh! have you been fancyipg that ]
was fretting@' Elsie exclaimed. In a
lower tone, and as if her own words al
most frightened her, she went on:-
"Could you think 50, Philip? Don't you
understand that l am only sorry, and
grieved, and angry with myself because
l do not feel as ought? Yes, you were
right in what you said that was child's
love, and this is the real grown-up love;
and now this about my ring seemed like
reproach. !"
"You are making me much happier
than L can express, was all her lover
could answer.
And hope--I do hope-my feelings
are not wronging his memory she
whispered on. Il did care: you know
did. But, o, not as care for YOU /"
She looked up at him with such look
of trust and affection as those sweet eyes
had never given him before. Doubts
and fears vanished, and for once his
restless passionate heart was at peace.
Elsie Clavering had spoken the truth
in the avowal she had just made. Her
sailor lover, gay, buOyant, and rather
shallow, had been too like herself in
temperament to command the reverence
with which Philip Denbigh had inspired
her. The days of her first short bright
wooing had passed by, stirring only the
surface of her nature, and leaving its
depths to be fathomed in latter hour.
"She is happy, she is'really and truly
happy now!" thought her lover, as he
walked home through the darkness OF
the foggy January night. ''She will be
a thousand times happier than that poor
fellow ever could have made her. Fate
has been good to us both. She would
have been utterly thrown away on poor
empty-headed Clavering, whose sailor
admiration of beauty was just stirred by
her pretty fa ce, but who would have

led on the other side, through turnstile
and a narrow lane, into the main street
of the village. Following this for some
way, he then turned up another narrow
lane, and in a few minutes found himself
at tthe little white gate which led, through
narrow strip of garden, to his house.
Il was quaint building of dull red col
or, with heavy old-fashioned windows in
settings of gray stone. 1t had once been
attached to a religious house, as farm or
guest house, and hence its peculiar name
| The little entrance-hall and a dingy
square parlor looked towards the road
an ugly little excrescence of modern
growth had a seperate entrance to itself,
+, and was the surgery. Two large low sit
| lting-rooms at the back, looked across
small garden-to the field which complet-
ed the domain. That field was dreaded
| by the youth of .Sedgbrook, = for in one
cerner was a black-looking pool of water
which, tradition said, was of unfathom-
able depth; it was surrounded on three
sides of high banks, and overhung by an
lelm-tree, on which, according to the
same tradition, the last Abbot had been
hanged, his body being afterwards flung
into the pool, which had born his name
from that time. OF course his ghost
g walked, and no threats or promises
would have induced Sedgbrook lad to
venture near the haunted spot after dark.
To this superstition Mr.. Denbigh was
indebted for a great deal of tranquility,
as the place, being a famous one for black
berries in autumn and for skating in
winter, ard at all times delightfully."-
lperiious to limb, might otherwise have
been more popular with the village youth
than would have been at ali agreeable to
4 the inhabitants of Abbot's Portion.
AS Mr.. DeDbigh let himself in, he was
met by connolly looking elderly servant
with candle in her hand: a d-faced,
rough. kindly West-co1ntry woman,
once his nnrse, whom he had summoned
two years before, on his uncle's death, TO
act as housekeeper for him. while her
husband accompanied her as groom, gar
dener, and factotum.
"What, Isott, not gone yet?" said her
master, in the quick short manner which
was habitual to him. "I thought told
you never to wait for me.n
