had he to go on so? He had never
kissed her, suppose, said Dolly. Do
lignan could not prove It, but he felt
that somehow the rights of property
were invaded. He went home and
dreamed of Miss Haythorn, and hated |
all the ugly successful lie spent |
fortnight trying to find out who this |
beauty was,-he never could encounter |
her again. AT last he heard of her in
this way; lawyers clerk paid him a
little visit and commenced little ac-
ton against him, in the name Of Miss
Haythorn, for insulting her in rail-
way train.
The young gentleman was shocked
endeavored to soften the lawyers clerk
that machine did not thoroughly COM
prehend the meaning of the term. The
lady's name, however, was at least re-
vealed by this untoward incident; from
her name TO her address was but short
step; and the same day our crestfallen
hero lay in wait at her door, and many
succeeding day, without effect. But
one fine afternoon she issued forth quite
naturally, as if she did 1t every day, and
walked briskly on the nearest Parade.
Dolignan did the same, he met and
passed her many times on the Parade,
and searched for pity in her eyes, but
found neither look, nor recognition,
nor any other sentiment; for all this
she walked and walked, till all the 9TH
er promenaders were tired and gone
then her culprit summoned resolution,
and taking Off his hat, with voice
tremulous for the first time, besought
permission to address her. She stop
ped, blushed, and neither acknowledge
ed nor disowned his acquaintance. He
blushed, stammered out how ashamed
how he vas punished, how little she
knew how unhappy he was and con-
cluded by begging her not to let all the
world know the disgrace of a man who
was already mortified enough by the
loss of her acquaintance. She asked an
t explanation ; he told her of the action
, that had been commenced in her name;
. she gently shrugged her shoulders, and
said, "How stupid they are" EN-
boldened by this, he begged to know
whether life of distant unpretending
devotion would, after lapse of years,
= erase the memory of. his madness, his
l crime!
