Daisy's heart beat with hope and ex-
pectation.
II may gop" she cried, in an eager,
pleading tone.
Mrs. Wentworth frowned. but con-
sented.
When Daisy's preparations were all
made. and she was about setting out
upon her journey. Mrs. Wentworth
said
Now | want you to speak good
word for Joanna. She amt no rela-
ton OF Miss McLean's. to be sure, but
the old miser might send her few
dresses aud Jewels. and never miss
'em. Take everything that's offered
you, Daisy, and when you come back
III divide the things between you two
girls"
Daisy was quite startled by the mag
niiicence of the house where Miss Nc
Lean resided.
Her great-aunt, a wrinkled old lady
in black velvet and lace, welcomed her
with a kiss.
You have your mothers face, my
dear. / am glad of that
oh" cried Daisy, eagerly, "do you
remember my motherp'
Certainly. l used to wish she was
boy, that l might leave her my
money. But girls are not of much
consequence in this world. l had lost
all trace of poor Ethel. And SO Silas
Wentworth Is deadP He was good
man, but sadly wanting in energy"
'How did you find me, Aunt Pattyp'
That's a secret" chuckled the old
lady.
1t was charmed life that opened
for Daisy. Edinburgh, with all its at
fractions and novelties, seemed like en-
chanted land. She was thoroughly
happy for the first time in her life.
Six weeks went by all too quickly,
and Daisy was summoned to her great
aunt's dressing-room.
The limit of your stay has expired. }"
Miss Mclean said, looking at her
keenly. 81 hope you have enjoyed
yourself?"
Very, very much" Daisy answered,
her sweet voice choking little. ut
was very kind of you to invite me
here.
you can stay upon one condition.
have learned to love you. but my will
is made, as wrote you. 1t cannot
be altered, even to please you. The
bulk of my fortune goes to my half
sisters son. a very worthy young man.
Daisy you can remain as his wife! l
have communicated with him, and he
is very willing to consent to the ar
rangement.
Daisy grew very pale. Consent to
marry man she had never seen? No,
that would have been impossible. even
If another's image did not fill all her
heart.
81 must go, she said, sadly. There
is no other way"
Wait until you have met my heir.
You might change your mind.
Never!
Poor Daisy dropped floods OF tears
into the trunk with the new clothes
Miss Mclean generosity had provided.
At last, when the good-byes had
been spoken, she groped her way
blindly downstairs. A gentleman stood
near the drawing-room door. As she
looked up, startled cry broke from
her lips.
She blushed furiously, but as the
