as gayly as this.'
"Stop, sir" cried the maiden, her beau
tiful face turning pale. "Nay, not thou
sand years! | would not live forsooth to
be toothless old beldam."
"And all her charms increase with her
years" continued the student as he drain
ed his glass.
"My mother, who sleeps since my birth
in yonder churchyard, was a Treva)yn,"
said the maiden. "Perchance thou art

floor
Treyalyn felt the heart of bis fair com
panion beat wildly against his breast and
as he gazed down into the bright eyes,
his own heart save an answering throb.
He forgot the mystery of the city, ris-
