Ills first impulse was to 90 Immediately and
seek an explanation, but as the night was
far advanced. he succeeded in curbing his
impatiencc, and with groan retired TO his
room, but not to sleep. Flinging himself
on louage ho continued in state of
mental abstraction until tho rising sun
flooded tho earth with light and gladncss.
lie sprang up, made hasty toilet, and
closing the door noiselcssy, stepped out
into the morning air. What change had
come over him in the course Of few hours.
a hopeless look Of despair had settled on
his handsome countcnancc.
1t was glorious morning; tho ground
was carpctcd with soft green moss, above
which buttcrcups and daisics reared their
graceful heads; mild zcphyrs wero gently
waving the blossoms of the clustering lilac
from "naturo up to natures God" But
Lionel was blind to tho beauties of the
scenc, aud throwing himself on ono of the
benches at the farther end Of tho park,
thought of Isabel.
That beloved name was forever sound ing
in his ears. Even the wird, as it softly
famed his heated brow, seemed to whisper
"Isabcl."
How long he reclncd there he knew not,
until ho was startled by a merry, ringing
hugh, which proceeded from the terrace
steps, where stood Rosa Rivers, perfect
picture, with her broad garden hat flung
oarclcssly across her arm, allowing tho sun
to kiss her rosy check and the breeze to play
among her sunny curls. For moment she
stood, then bounded away with Turk in close
pursuit.
Lionel roso to watch the graceful retreat
ing form Of tho child, and then leaving tho
Park, Gro he was aware of the circumstance,
found himself in tho wooded path leading
to tho Manor. lilo resolved to so and hear
lsabels defense, at any rate.
AS ho continued his solitary walk his
mind became moro calm, aud he thought
only Of tho pleasure of seeing her. Occu-
pied with this idea, o bend in tho path
brought him in front of tho house, before
which stood a handsome cquipagc.
lie was wondering who could have called
at that unusual hour, when happening to
glance up at the balcony, ho was inclined to
doubt his own identity, for there stood Isa-
bel and Maj. Elliott, in tho very spot whore
Isabel and himself had so often held lovers
tete.a toto.
Her back was turned toward him, so ho
could not catch glimpse of her face, but
tho detcsted, yet undcniabIy fino features of
Charles Elliott were distinctly visible. Ho
also perceived that Maj Elliott, ut least,
was aware of his presence, although Isabel
was perfectly unconscious.
llo was turning away, heart siokcncd ct
the sight, when Elliott, giving him q look

of triumph, flung bis arms around Isabel
and claspcd her to his heart.
Lionel waited to SEQ no more, but grind
ing his heel into tho earth, he turned hastily
away, blinded with passion, not knowing or
caring whittier he went.
Thus he left the woman upon whom all
his hopes of happiness wore conferred. The
sun seemed to have lost its brilliancy, the
very Garth appeared to ho whrling around
in mad confusion. lie determined to travel
in foreign lands, to leave Winchester, never
to return.
On returning to the Park, ho was met at
the hall door by Rosa, who eagerly caught
hold of his hand, md leading him into the
library, seated herself on an ottoman at his
feet. Looking up into his face with her
expressive hazel eye, she said:
"Cousin, say that you are not going away;
Caleb says that you have ordered the carri-
ago and mean to leave US, and are not
coming bnch for ever so long"
"And will you really miss me, Rosic?" he
asked Us he smoothcd back tho tangled
meshcs from her sun. burned face. "Ycll,
Rose, | am glad there is one littIo girl in
this world who loves mo. But hero is
Caleb, who has come to tell mo that every
thing is ready"
"Mrs Cameron says sho would like to bid
you goodbye, but is suffering from severe
headache, aud has not yet ariscu," said
Chrisholm. But you must tako somo re-
freshmcuts before you leavc," she added,
opening the dining room door and display
ing to view tempting breakfast.
lie hastily swallowed cup of chocolate,
and soon after entering tho vehicle was lost
to sight, leaving behind him the scene of
all his joys and wrotchedness.
And what wcro tho thoughts Of Adelaide
Cameron on hearing of Lioue's departure?
Stern woman of tho world as she was, she
could not bear to 500 the haggcred countc-
nance which she knew would greet her. She
strained her ear 10 catch the last sound of
tho carriage wheels, and then consulted her
mirror. "Why was she not deserving Of
his affection? was sho not bcautifuI?' and
she drew up her slight figure to its full
height. Why should he scorn her love,
and bcstow his heart on pcnnlcss girl of
seventeen? "Ah! if he but knew, it ie not
tho head, but the heart that achcs," she
said, in tone Of excessive bitterness, as a
silent tear stole down her check.

CHAPTER III.

"oh the heart that has truly loved, never
forgcts,
But as truly loves on to the close"
Three months had passed away since Lilo
mel st. Clair left Winchester, when one
evening on returning home from stroll
with Ethel, Isabel was sadly thinking over
the past, servant from tho Manor came
running iu brcathcss hustle to tell her that
Mr.. Belmont had fallen down in an apoplctc
IT, and had just brcathcd his last.
The kind old pastor took Isabel mmcdi.,
atcly to his home where We now end her 10
the cosy vicaragc library. What home
look the scene presented. A bright fire
was glowing on tho hearth before which sat
the pastor deeply engaged in reading, while
by his side was Ethel, busly plying her
needle. Near the window sat Isabel,
perusing with great interest the contents of
letter received by the evening post.
Thus on hour glidcs swiftly by. Tho
letter lay open in Isabol's lap, while she
pecrcd intcntly into the gathering darkness
The landscape was exceedingly gloomy, for
summer had fled, and
"Nll day TIC wind had ioSylcd along tic lcas,
All day the wind had swept across the plain,
al day on rLlstling grass and waving trees
Had fallen the useful trouble Of the rain;
MI day bchcath the low.hung, drcary sky,
Tho dripping earth had covered sullcnly."
At length sho drew her scat near to the
fire, and placing the letter in her friends
hand, said.
"Kcad this, dear Ethel, then tell mo what
you think Of it,"
The puzzled face Of Ethel was changed to
one of blank Nmazcmcnt as she scanned,
with troubled glance, the contents of the
letter. Then, letting it fall to the ground
she clasped 1sabcl's hand and looking up
into her face with that pleading expression
OF her violet eyes which few could resist,
said:
Darling Belle, what docs it all mean?
thought you were my sister. You cannot
be going to leave us?"
"What!" exclaimed Mr.. Arlington, in
tone of grcvcd surprise, us he put down his
book and wiped his glasses, for they had
suddenly became din.
For moment Isabel could scarcely re-
strain her emotion, but .orciDg back the
tears which were fast flowing, she rcplicd:
"Sad as it is to leave my friends, feel
that l can no longer trcspass upon their
kindness and hospitality Having seen an
advertisement applied for the situation Of
goycrncss, and have this evening received
reply stating that must take my departure
in less than week, for London"
"And must | lose my daughter?' the
old man said, rs he laid his hand affection
atcly on Isabels shoulder.
She could mako no response, but only by
ono her tcars dropped on tho blond trcsses
of Ethel, who was knccling at hor side sob.
bing bitterly.
Sorry as they we're to part with Isabel,
they could but admire her independent
spirit, and although Ethel tried every per-
suasion, she resolved not to be burthcn to
her friends, but to leave on Monday for the
metropolis.

of lsabcl's departure. Hers was not q ma

AN ASTONISHING FACT.

A large proportion of the American peo-
pie are to-day dying from the effects of Dys
pepsia or disordered liver. The result Of
these diseases upon the masses of intelligent
and valuable people is most alarming, max
ing life actually a burden instead Of a pleas
ant existence of enjoyment and usefulness
as it ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice Of
Druggists and your friends, and try one bot
tie Of Green's August Flower. Tourspeedy
relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try its
virtues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy a sample bottle for 10
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent. Sold by
Mills e. Purdy.
