Love at Sea
It was a rather remarkable thing that
Olive had been so thoroughly deceived by
the hand writing of the note which she had
received with the locket OF the sapphire in
itiaL But as a matter Of fact it was well
known In the regiment that Hardness and
Hartoc wrote very much alike, as is not I'M
usual among men Of the same class who
have been educated at the same schools
Nobody at Corpcthwaite was really
familiar with ;he caligraphy uf-either, only
short notes. in answer to invitations having
come under the notice of any of the members
of that household Those which had come
from Hardness, Olive had been careful to
read; but when her mother remarked, Mr..
Hartog accepts for the fifth, Olive" or "My
dear, Mr.. Hartog, has an engagement for
Tuesday she hai been content to accept
the fact, without satisfying herself by the
seeing of the eye that it really was so.
1t seemed an incredible circumstance that
she could impart, and her mother receive,

Of one man and her mother of another, and
the difference remain uncorrected; yet SO it
was, and now, be the consequences what they
would, she would abide BY her mistake.
Hartog discovered nothing.
Some lovers are AFFECT willing TO be trod-
den under the feet of their fair mistresses;
but Hartog was not of that order. Quite the
contrary, indeed; for no was imperious 10 q
degree, continually bidding Olive, Come
here OF ''Do that" or Don't go there"
and adding on darling" or please me"
at the end, like spoonful of jam after a
powder, and always having his own way,
because Olive was TOO sick at heart to offer
any opposition.
But he discovered nothing; ard, in truth,
he was too fully occupied In making fierce,
passionate love to her, to see that size merely
submitted to and never reciprocated his
affection in any way.
Other folk saw clearly enough that some
thing was grievously wrong-that Olive
each day looked more spiritless and ILL He
noticed, of course, that she was not looking
well; but he put it down 20 her Illness of
the autumn and the severity OF the winter,
and never suspected for q moment that her
altered appearance was due to mind instead
of body.
He announced his engagement immedi-
ately to his brother officers, causing thereby
no particular surprise, except to Lucy, who
had not expected such news, but who, never
theless, pulled himself together, like the
brave and gallant gentleman be was, and
wished his comrade joy. But oh, when at
