most, secretary. They were fol-
lowed at a still greater distance, by
two servants in livery. aaluting the
young men oourteously, the gentle
man with the ribbon passed them

moment, and looked back to the
servants. On turning around again
Frederick and Henry were close up
on him. He seemed struck with their
appearance. With hasty bow and a
searching look he passed OH. Henry,

servants unnoticed. -d. cid

the prospect from the top, and re-
main where she was; which indeed,
was not disagreeable. as she observed
several well-known families from
the city, whom she could join.
Her sister was OF the same mind, and
remained also. The young folks,
therefore, continued their way alone,
while the matrons seated themselves

Frederick aud Henry, who knew
the way, acted as guides they sought
