for presently espying the minister at some dis
tance ahead of them, he exclaimed, much
more briskly, "Come, McGregor, there's Mr.

And quickening their pace. the two sports
men soon overlook their clerical friend, and
with him, walked rapidly onward toward the
manse.
Meantime, Andrew Kennedy and bis sister
pursued their way homeward, the former com
menting, in his blunt fashion, on the look
and air of the strangers.
Il say, Katie, what gawk that English
fellow looked, staring at you as if he'd never

box his ears for his impudence, only l sup

maybe it's English politeness to stare folks
out of countenance."
"He didn't stare me out Of countenance
and don't think he meant to be rude" said
Kate, softly. Either the young gentleman't
admiring looks, or Andrews remarks there
upon, made a somewhat lasting impression
upon her for she spoke no more, except in
monosyliables, until they reached home.

CHAPTER III.

Some ten years subsequent to the events re-
lated in the preceding chapters, two ladies,
one elderly, the other considerably her junior,
yet past the bloom of youth, were seated, on
pleasant June morning, in once elegantly
furnished but now faded apartment overlook
ing the Thames, near the brink of which their
house, an old.fashioned country mansion, was
situated.
Both ladies were plainly dressed, and both
were engaged in needlework, two facts which
seemed to indicate that, whatever their rank
might be, they we're not persons OF self'lndul-
gent habits or unnecessary leisure Their
whole air and appearance denoted that they
we're well.born and refined, yet there was a
certain shabbiness of aspect about them
which, like that of the room, told of the de-
cline of past prosperity and the countenan-
ces of both, but especially that Of the elder,
were sbadowed by an expression of melan-
choly, which in the latter assumed the peevish
tinge Of discomfort.
81 do wish, Geraldine" she was saying, IN
a tone of voice entirely corresponding with
her looks, II do wish that you could be per-
suaded to regard this matter in different
light. 1t is so annoying to have you persist
in view of it which is not only unreasonable
and absurd, but entirely uncalled for"
"By no means uncalled for, mamma" an.

whole affair in a matter-offact light, and

voice. "He is certainly guilty Of no pretsacs,1 y

these little arts and wiles. Miss Gran
dali, am amazed at your conductp
Astonishment and Indignation had
made it impossible for Gcorgiana to
speak during this trade, but, rs Mrs.
Litchfleld ceased, she smothered her
emotion, and replied in u voice of con-
centrated passion:
Madam, you have cruelty, wickedly
wronged me- leave your house this
very hour having no wish to ever look
upon you or yours again" SO saying,
she haughtily left the room.
Once out of sight of Mrs. Litchfeld's
angry face her emotion overpowered
her, and, unable to control her burst of
grief, she ran into the empty school.room
and threw herself on the sofa, giving
way to the storm of emotion which shook
her slight frame.
The whole scene had occupied such q
brief space Of time that Walter Danforth
had found no opportunity to speak; but
when Georgiana had left the room he
told his sister in u few singing words
his opinion of her unladylikc conduct
toward poor, defenseless girl. Then,
leaving Julia drowned in angry tears, he
went to look for the victim of her as
sault.
Georgana," said low voice, which
sent a thrill of joy through the heart of
the weeping girl, twill you not look up
and speak to me, Georgiana? Hove you.
Tell me that you will take the situation
of my governess for the rest of our lives?
l want to watch over you and protect
you against the sncers and Sights which
she put upon you"
After what your sister said, Mr.. Dan
forth, l will never, never marry you"
sobbcd Georgiana, burying her face
deeper in the cushions.
"Do you love me, Georgiana"
To this question there came 40 reply,
and Walter bent over her, and lifting her
head pillowed it on his breast.
go Walter-Mr. Danforth, mean
recollect that l am 'only an ugly gov
erness.'"
"Don't pain me, Georgiana, by saying
such things"
What persuasions and arguments were
used to overrulc Georgiana's objections
do not know, but there was a very
quiet wedding few weeks later, and a
very happy bridal couple left on tonr
to Europe.
Mrs. Litchfield now thinks it inmate
rial whether her governesses are homely
or pretty, for, as she is fond of telling
her friends "My idolized brother mar
