deen with Jeanne Saunderson, as they had
thought of a plan for bringing their recall
citrant lover to his senses.
"Gin we dinna' max Peter think shame
to himself, my names no Jeanne Ssunder'
son" were the parting. words Of that dam
sell.
Meanwhile, Peter was happy in the So
ciety of his (latest) betrothed, who was q
very charming girl; and it may De little
to nv hero's excuse to remark that few
men could have seen her bonny face and
listened to her sweet veice evening after
evening without falling in love with her.
The susceptible Peter certainly could not,
but throwing all old memories to the
winds, proposed and was accepted.
Such being the state Of affairs, Peters
feelings may be imagined when, on enter
ing Mrs. Birket's psrlor one evening, after
his days work was over, he saw seated BY

said she, and the culprit sank into an
empty chair, placed ct little distance from
the other three ladies, The situstion was
awkward in the extreme. The ladies coz
tiuued knitting without glancing at him;
minute after minute passed, and the
silence became intolerable. Peter could
hear the beating of his own heart; twice he
opened his lips to speak, but no sound
issued from them; an ICY tremor ran
through his frame and checked his utter

Peter was too much subdued to Offer q
