OF the day had been fine and sunshiny. but
as the afternoon wore on there came a
change Belle had been walking along
with her head bent and her eyes dovncast
lost IN thought, and unobservant Of any,
thing that might be going on around, when
a long, low roll of thunder startled her out
of her absorption.
She glanced round rather tearfully. She
was not naturally timorous, but thunder
storm always tried her nerves. The sky
looked black, blacker than she had ever
seen it before. The wind had risen too.
and the dust was eddying round and blow
ing up into her face. Belle felt decidedly
nervous. She was long way from home,
and it was evident that heavy thunder
storm was preparing to burst overhead.
What had she been thinking about to
wander SO far away from home?
"My dear Miss Cunningham, how lucky
| am to have found you," cried voice
that seemed to come from the skies; and
looking round in startled way, Belle
beheld Tom Hickson in the act of scram-
bling through gap in the hedge that
grew on the top of steep bank bordering
the road where she was walking.
"Pm afraid startled you. What an
awkward laundering fellow I am" con-
tinued the young man contriteIy, for Belle
had grown suddenly pale, and her parasoI
had fallen from her hand on the dusty
road; "you look so pale. Have you got
headache" He picked upher parasol and
handed it to her.

head always aches in this way when there's
thunder in the air"
Even as she spoke vivid flash Of light

ming rent the skies, and then presently
there followed a second roll of thunder,
louder and longer than the previous one.

was studying the angry sky, and casting
about in his mind as to where he could
take Belle for shelter.

much now you're with me, she said invol-
UNFAIRLY: but when she saw the quick flush
Of pleasure which rose to his face, she
would gladly have retracted her words.
"Can you do little rough walking !"
said he; "if we cut across those meadows
to the right, we shall come TO an old barn
that will serve us for shelter"
"But how was it that you found me
her" asked Belle, as they struck into
the footpath running through the meadows
in question. 81 thought you we're going

There was no more confidential talk
that night.
The following week was whiled away
pleasantly enough in riding and driving
excursions and long walks all about the
neighborhood The time of year was
favorable for long walks; and it not unfre-
quently happened that Tom Hickson found
himself, whether by accident or design,
walking side by side with Belle in the rear
of the little party. Belle had mania for
collecting wild flowers. She liked to lin
ger about the hedges ard hunt for red
berries, meadow saffron, harebells, and
what nuC No flower was too common or
insignificant to be added to her nosegay; it
need hardly be said that Hickson's eyes
and hands were entirely at the young girls
service. He was not so quick at spying
out the different specimens as she; but in
escaladlng steep banks and stretching to
the tops of the hedges after scarlet berries,
his superior length of limb made him an
efficient helpmate. Then it was curious to
note the care which he took Of Belle, and
his anxiety lest she should get her feet wet
or her clothes torn in scrambling over
bitches and through gaps in the hedges.
Belle, who had been Used to vault over
bitches like young deer could very well
have dispensed with these little attentions;
only-welI, it would have seemed ungra-
cious to ignore the hand which was
stretched out for her encouragement and
support. Mary Lambert looked on and
felt rather disquieted. She could hardly
fall foul of the young man on the score OF
