side, and no sooner had mentioned my des.
tination to the porter than my portmanteau
was p.aced in this vehicle. II was drive OF
nearly four miles to Manleverers house

able to tell me anything that did not know
respecting them. | remained SILENT ih re
fore, during tina greater part OF the drive,
contenting myself with listening to the larks
which were pouring forth their carols high
up in the clear, blue heavens, aad with keep

was to meet my darling.
We came at last to long avenue of ven
cradle trees which lined the public road on
either side It was unusual to see trees like
these planted by the side of highway, and

Suddenly l caught sight Of it, standing
hard by the road on the very edge Of the
little rives. A great rookery Of lofty elms
had shielded it at first from my observation,

at the door We passed through a fine gate

ourselves in a large quadrangle, covered
with grass, upon which one Of the gablei
ends Of ihe hall looked out There was
another massive stone gateway opposite to

opposite TO Daisy at the round table which
occupied the middle of the floor of the cabin.
Again and again tried to catch her eye,
and to win some word from her lips. More
than once she looked up, and thought had
succeeded But if for a moment her eve
seemed to rest on my face, it wandered al
most instantaneously to that of my next
neighbor, the doctor, and then it sank once
more upon her plate.
Branksome himself kept me involved in a
bright talk, in which not only the yacht and
its glories, but the gayeties of Scarborough
and the beauties of the Yorkshire scenery

the late afternoon, after landing from the
yacht, to secure chance of speaking to her
