Our morning studies with Scot were

for my hours rest before luncheon. Pen
ME was leaning with folded arms on the
back Of my sofa, provoking Scot as indus

closed and put away the books she had left
in confusion on the table. This room In

my tutor, yet scarcely older than !, with
his pale, grave, thoughtful face, and slight
nervous figure. He was looking across

winning lad that his very vanity seemed
excusablc; his very selfshness, anus.
ing; and his love Of pleasure ma.
tural and irresistible. Pennie noticed
none of these qualities In Walter.
She saw him from the first handsome,
daring protector and patron; q boy-lover,
who took 1t for granted that she loved
him, ard won her heart for doing so. And
now that Walter was tall, handsome fel-
low of three and twenty, and Pennie,
with her CLEAN of childishness, and titful,
authoritative humors, was nearly eighteen,
his love Is just the love 1t had been from
| the tirst-unharassed by any doubt; I'M
disturbed by any quarrel; untouched BY
any passion; fresh and gay, and glad, de
spite the deep and troubled shadow which
it cast upon the lonely path that it forever
crossed.
Walters widowed mother lived about
two miles from us, at Easter Hill, and had
| q very comfortable property Of her own,
| which, OF course, Walter would inherit
Poor Scot, her step son, had ESQ year OF
| his own; but he had wealth enough in his
deep, clear head and there was as much

"Oh, Scot is sure to get on, penniless as
he u.s." as she was in the proud addition,
"Dear Walter would never have done to
be poor" / don't think Mrs. Cowen dis
liked Scot, at all, she was only utterly in
different about him, and neglectful OF him.
Her heart was so entirely filed by Walter,
that she really had no room for any one
else not even for Pennie, though l do be-
lieve she tried to love her because Walter
loved her.
When Scot lett Oxford, where, with his
talents, and ESQ year, he had won him
self glorious honors, he became my tutor
for time, and lived with US entirely. Al.

my father came In, and Pennie crept into
her place among us.
Not once did she mention Walters
