the piano. Some question OF music was
under discussion. MIR. Russell came up
unObserved, aud somewhat suddenly
Offered Il riece OF music and suggestion
not 10 the player, but TO Pamela. A
slight, faint tlnge rose on the lady's
cheek. Tie gentleman drew back and
smiled
81 Wonder how often this sort of thing
goes on" he thought, as ho took UP his
former post of observation, where he only
seemed 10 be decorOusly listening. 81

me. What hccL.reF Of all the broken
hearts | wOnd.ri Or how much is
broken ! l don't think my integrity
would be damaged by such a misfortune.
This one isn't much hurt yet. She is
looking as well as she ever was. l won
der If George is right after all ~
Another little opportunity of making
the trial presented itself in another min
ute. Miss Bradshaw had lost her glove
and was looking for il. Frank saw
where IL lay and before any others had
joined the quest he crossed the floor with
quick step. rescued the glove from un-
der the music bench, and handed 1t up to
It's owner. Eyes met as fingers touched,
and again little tinge of color stole into
Pameh's checks.
"It's gone case" said Frank TO him

lninly had reason. Well, If someh Ddy
l.r has lost her liberty, il is only fair
| should lose mine. ! really think that
li,lle flush makes her almost beautiful.

i certainly did not; and Frank watch
cd that evening and other evenings I'LL he
made sure of the fact. lie made sure of
the fact, too, that he could bring It when
ever be pleased.
Miss Bradshaw began TO seem TO him,
secretly, us his own property. And then
| (it ia natural, ! supposc) he began to
take certain pleasure in her as his prop
city. And then, naturally and gracefully
enough, his manner to her began to be
tmged by that feeling, and gradually to
carry the insinuation Of it--nover any
way but gracefully. The little peculiari-
ities Of manner that marked his inter
course with her us different from his re
larons with all Others, the assumption of
interest, the recognition of intelligence,
the looks that only sought but claimed
good will, the little familiarities that
presumed upon her iavor-what could
they be hut the growth of affection. And
how could Pamela guess they belonged
to hers and not to his. She could see out
of no other eyes hut her own, her happi
ness soon put al Franks doubts TO flight.
