kuhleborn is covered with foam to his glr:hs
You have ridden hard" Hereward re-
marks, looking at the horse
''Yes, Lady Gladys says hconically.
''Where did you go:"
''lsound through the rides. Did you look
at the brdge!"
II did
''A1us; it come down."
to have it down"
why should he do that ? 1t is not likely.
But perhaps"
Whatever Lady Gladys may have intended
to say, she does not say it. She turns away
and goes into the house Hereward follows,
wondering why she hns grown so icily cold.
He has not done anything to deserve it, SO
far as lie knows. But lie sets'it down to
mere caprice on Lady Gladys's part, and it
does not greatly trouble him.
He finds another invitation from the
Countess awaiting him. He has not dined
with them since his return from College, and
now 1t pleases him to find the note on his
table. He knows she only asks him to relieve
the. tedium of Miss NIiddletons visit. but
this knowledge docs not make him unhappy.
If it pleases the Countess to ask him for one
reason, it pleases him to go for another so
they are quits. He puts away his books very
willingly, and struggles with white tie and
puts on the hated dress-coat without once
wishing that men could dine without ladies
society, and therefore without the miseries of
evening dress
After dinner the little Doctor plays chess
with the Countess. He wishes to interest her
q little and make her forget the fact of Lord
Heriots absence. The Fraulien and EVE
amuse themselves with their beloved Kinder
garten, and the two girls remain with Here
ward at the other end of the room. Miss
Middleton asks him to sing, and, remember
ing what he Is expected to do he sits down
at once to the piano.
What is it to he 2" he asks laughingly,
looking up at her.
First, that students song"
'.or this, he says, beginning the beautiful
'.Watch by the Rhine"
Lady Gladys stands with Miss Middleton
near the piano, listening, but not looking at
the singer, and, when he rises after he has
finished the German hymn, she asks him to
sing one mere song. She looks at him when
she makes the request-it is indeed as much
q command as request, and he returns the
look. She seems to him more beautiful
than ever to-night-her pale fair face, her
soft talr hair, her sapphire eyes, her shadowy
blue dress, the flashing diamond that sends
out arrows OF h5nt whenever she moves her
hand. Little Miss Middleton, in her straw
colored dress, looks rs commonplace beside
her as dandelion beside white moss-rose,
''Do you like old fashioned songs ?" he
asks, again taking possession of the music
stool and pausing with his hands on the keys
''Yes, some Of them, Lady Gladys answers,
smiling.
Hereward sings softly and slowly
"a place in thy memory, dearest,
lsall that claim.
To pause aud look back when thou nearest
The sound Of my name.
Another may WOO thee nearer,
Another may win and wear;
Icsre not, though he be dearer,
II am remembered there.
"Could be thy srae lover. dearest,
COulls, thon s,Elle upon me,
Icouid bc the foudest and nearest
That ever lowell thee.
But CLOUD Oh my pathway n glooming,
That never must busrs upon thine,
And Heaven that made thine all blooming.
Ne'er made thee 70 wither on mine,
~Remember me NO: - lover
Whose hope hath been crossed,
Whose spsrs can never recover
The hope u hath l0oe;
- the young bride remembers the mother
She loves, though she never may see,
A the sister remembers the brother,
So dearest, remember me.
'sRemember me then, o remember,
Ny calm, light love!
Thon9h bleak as the blasts of December
Ny life may prove:
Thai life viii. though lonely. be sweet,
II IT. brighsess enjoyment should be
smile and kiAd iook when we meet,
And rlses in ny memofy."
