happened that, being detained sew

mid-afternoon when he reached the
little wood that was Cassia's and
Herbert's trysting place. II will

The lovers could not see him, land
they were far too much occupied
With their own conversation to
hear his approach. Milly perceived
the colonel first, and made some
fruitless attempts to warn the care

nothing of their dlnger until the
angry father stood almost before

His first feeling was that of com.

of the weather, and was answered
with an affirmative bow; and at
last, being desperately determined
to obtain an invitation to the ball,
he said, 81 hope you may have q
pleasant evening for your dance
to morrow, colonel.n
The colonel stifhy said he hoped
so.
II have not been invited" said
Herbert, with the charming straight
forwardness of youth. IL do wish
that you would ask me, colonel"
The colonel "belieyed Mrs. Bau-
