The question we had looked !. for had
come. We had purposely avoided any

that every. time he had ibeeep down Miss
Graves had been away from home. = n,.
"Oh!' we answered, "a Mrs. Monteith,

The mex eve ling, sitting on the porch

"Who was that?" said |, at length.
"She was introduced to me rs Miss
Graves" "
ooh, yes! know. She is visiting at
Mrs Monteith's." said I, carelessly.
"She is living there as you very well
know" he returned. az hive discovered
the owner of the pretty hand and arm
So the acquaintance commenced. He
was at hom- month niger. and not a
day but found him across the street. We
demonstrated and it had about its usual
effect.
What seemed strange to US was that we
now noticed that Miss Graves sat the
mos of the day in the front chamber busy
at her writing; and when Hugh went ever
he went straight to that room, which
seemed to he the library, and would si'
there by the window till she had finished
her writing, she apparently not the least
isturbed, and he perfectly satisfied with
the attention he received.
Then, after month of this, he went
back, and she went with him. We did
not know it till after he had gone; not
till friend came in who had seen them
in the city together After few days
she was back again, calm and serene as
ever Her face sho we'd not the slightest
consciousness of the fact that she had
made herself the town talk Fer by this
time, of course, everybody was saying all
manner of things. Some said they were
married before they lef; some said they
were married in the city; and no one
knows how much more. ...g. e.4s9Ua.
Right here we tried to still all the gos.
sip by saying that Hugh had had an ear Y
attachment, and had told us many time
that no other woman Guild fill the place
Of his first love. $50 you see, it never can
happen. Miss Graves is, noldoubt most
estimable person; Int I am confident not
the person to make Hugh Hastings change
his mind. assure YOU, such q thing as
marriage between the two is absurd. 1t
