Unless he came soon now, how few the
last hurried words must be-
And as she thought 50 he was at her
side, coming round quickly past clump
of laurels.

densely covered porch, and a few-a very

lie had driven into the farm yard by the
back way, but why he had not entered the
{ house from the same direction as was his
custom when coming in from the yard
why he had come on round to the front
door instead--p probably he could not have
told.
Such things surely arise from some in
nate perversity in human affairs, impelIing
people exactly where they are not wanted
and where they ought not to go.
Whether Mr.. Butterworth was coming
in at his own front door, or passing by
that way on some other errand, perhaps, as
he often did, to take goodnight glance
at the colts in their paddock hard by-this
for a'moment, the lovers did not know.
lnstinctively they retreated the hall

little way, ending on the left in staircase,
and on the right in passage leading to
the kitchen, beyond which was the yord.

back" and she stepped before her lover.
Stanford was by no means tall man,
and he was also very slight. He had the
straight features and dark hair and eyes
OF Cornishman, but his build was light
and wiry
Cicely was large, fair girl, tall, with a
well-developed figure, and quiet half
stately manner, such as is seen in higher
circles oftener than in the yeoman class,
where Cicely Ashton had herplace. With
her it was probably the natural outcome
of a resolute and enduring will.
Drawing herself up to her full height,
she stood tying the ribbon strings Of her
black silk apron in an elaborate bow, as an

soon after he did SO Cicely, watching for
George Stanford, did not know the mo-
ment her step-father would appear instead.
1t would not do for the two men to meet
not there at least-for Mr.. Butterwortb
had made short work with his clerk. GEORGE
Stanford, when it came to his knowledge
that he was counting Cicely Ashton. That
he had clerk came from the circumstance
OF his owning flour mills, which did good
business, and were, indeed, greatersou
OF income than even his extensive and we'll
managed farm.
But as no one man, even if very much
younger and more active than he was now.
could keep up with the two occupations, a
managing clerk was needed at the mills.
and for several years young Stanford had
filed this place with satisfaction to his EN-.
ployer, until the knowledge came to him
that he and Cicely were in the habit of
walking and talking together, and other
wise COMFORTING themselves after the fash
ion of lovers.

whereupon he got angry and spoke as be

without reproach, save for this matter
of falling in love, and as for being a poor
young fellow with only paltry salary to
live upon, why Cicely had but herself to
bestow upon any mana very fair and
loveable self indeed, but still that wasall.
Her father when living held some small
command in the coast guard service as then
constituted, and the government pension

THE MILL FARM.

# tbe country folk there had come the
short period when, if ever, in the agricul-
+nral work Of the year, there is a pause.
The hay harvest was carried, and the
Grain had not begun to ripen.
There was no rustic in the milky green
oars Of the wheat, and the pale soft awns
Of the barley bent before the light sum-
mer breeze like the undulating sweep Of
silken robes.
Tn front of an old Devonshire farm
house young girl was standing in list
ening attitude, just in front Of the porch,
where heavy wreathes and tendrils Of
honeysuckle crossed and recrossed each
other as they lay heavily on the rounded
top, and reached down and waved along its
sides, and mixed themselves up with the
early roses that were blooming there.
In a fower-border lying near the house,
night-scented stocks were breathing out
their rich, warm perfume, and mingling
with the fragrance all around.
Through the deepening twilight the girl
gazed on down where the roadway between
the trees was becoming dark.
The white spikes on a great chustnut
tree near were growing dim, and the stars
that looked so pale a little while before
we're showing something Of their own true
brightness in the dimness around
"What keeps him." said the girl, in
vexation, to herself. "Father will certain
lybe here before him now"
