The Colonel then retired into sort

stood amongst them so rectilinear he

that Gibraltar rock at this day would

word, Walter, at sight of the lovers,
was suddenly seized with sentimental
sympathy; they both seemed to him SO
beautiful in their way. The man was
small, but his heart was not; he stuck
to the woman like a man, and poured
hot love into her ears, and almost lost
the impediment in his speech. The
woman pretended to be cooler, but she
half turned her head toward him, and
her half-closed eyes and heightened
color showed she was drinking every
word. Her very gayety, though it af-

to such as can read below the surface

approval, and saying, II couldn't do it

'"It's true" said Mary, "and it's i'm
portant." Then she turned suddenly
round on him. How did'you feel when
you ran into that workshop, and we
both crouched and hid like criminals or
slaves?"
Well" said Walter, hanging his head,
ito tell the truth, took comic view
of the business"
II can't do that" said Mary. "I.re-
spect my husband, and can't bear him
to hide from the face of any mortal
man; and am proud Of my own love,
and indignant to think that / have con-
descended to hide it,"
1T is shame," said Walter, "and
hope we shan't have to hide it much
longer. Oh, bother, how unfortunate!
here's my father. What are we to dor"
I'll tell YOU" said Mary, resolutely.
"You must speak to him at once, and
win him over to our side. Tell him
Julia is going to marry Percy FitzrOy
on the first of next month, then tell
him all that Mr.. Hope said you were to
tell the lawyer, and then tell him what
you have made me believe, that you
love me better than your life, and that
love you still; and that no power can
part us. If you can soften him, Mr..
Hope shall soften papa"
But if he is too headstrong to be
softened?" faltered Walter.
"Then," said Mary, "yOu must DEFY
my papa, and 1 shalt defy yours"
After a moments thought she said:
walter, shall stay here till he sees
me and you together; then he won't be
able to run off about.his mines, and his
lawsuits, and such rubbishy things. His
attention will be attracted to our love,
and so you will have it out with him,
whilst retire a little way-not far
and mediate upon Mr.. Hopes strange
words, and ponder over many things
that have happened within my recOllec-
ton"
True to this policy, the spirited girl
waited till Colonel Clifford came on the
green, and then made Walter as perfect
courtesy as ever graced a minuet at
the court of Louis lie Grand.
Walter took Off his hat to her with
chiyalric, grace and respect, Colonel
Clifford drew up in stiff military at
titude, which favored rather of the
parade or the field of battle than the
court either of the great monarch or of
little Cupid.
