He now tried TO give his mind 10 the
task Amboyne had set him: but II was
too hard: he gave Ii up, with rage and
despair. ..... 49,
Then he made a desperate resolve,
which will not surprise those who know
the human heart. He would harden
himself. He would see more Of Miss
Garden than ever; only Il should be In
quite new light. He would look at
her, and keep saying TO himself all
the time. you are another mans wife,
With this determination, be called at
Woodblne Villa.
Miss Garden was not at home.

And he hurried away, provoked, not

had given. The woman he loved-In-

-he could spend the whole day with
her. So the reasonable youth was
cross with her for that, and for being
SO pleased. when he was wretched.
That feeling soon wore of, however,
and being a man OF business, he wrote
a line to Martha DenCe, and told her he
should visit her on Sunday. Headded,

Next day he went on the hills with
Billy. and, Instead OF thinking for the
benefit Of his enemies, as agreed with
Amboyne, he set himself to hate every.

and the HLllsborough Unions. The

smIthy. This double master stroke, by
which he was to defeat one enemy, and
secretly atfront another, did make him
chuckle once or twice, not with Joy, but
with bitterness. ... ...
He awoke In similar mood next
morning: but there was eight O'Clock
service near, and the silver-toned bell
awakened better thoughts. He dressed
hurrledly, and went to church.
He came back sadder, but rather less
hot, less bitter he had his breakfast,
improved his toilet, went to the livery
stable, and drove 10 Woodbine Villa.

Jael came In, equipped for the ride.
She was neatly dressed, and had plain
