drew her towards him and their lips met.
No opposition was offered when Mr.. Ham,
ilton asked the hand of Blanche Gilmore
from her uncle, all thinking that their poor
relative did well, even in marrying a tutor.
lnthe mean time the news came that the
Belmont owner was soon to take possession
of his property. One of his oddities was
that ON the evening of his return a large
party of friends and the select neighbors
were to assemble 10 bid him welcome. This
party, as il happened, was to take place the
evening before the marriage OF Blanche.

lent about it. The fact of my changed cir

I shall not alter my style of living for awhile,
but shall fulfil an engagement to become the

this new estate. In taking the property. you
say l am required to assume the name of its

days of my poverty, and l have no idea of

In q beautiful residence sat two ladies',
Mrs. Corsair and her daughter Zoe, while a
third, a niece of the elder lady. Blanche Gill
more, stood with a light hat in her hand, as
though Just returned from a walk. They
were discussing the appearance of a new tutor
who bad undertaken for a time. on trial, the
education of the two sons OF the family.

pered

"Yes, indeed" exclaimed both young

ladies as they surveyed the fine figure and
handsome face approaching and when the
young man.smiled pleasantly upon Charley,
Blanche thought she had never seen SO hand
some a man, while Zoe whispered
IF the young heir of the Belmont prop
erty prove one-half as handsome l will be
content"
A splendid estate, with o residence of al
most royal magnifcence, lay within sight of
their pretty home, and had just, through the
death of old Mr.. Belmont. a childless
widower, passed into the hands of a young
relative, expected soon to visit the promises.
Zoe Corsair and her prudent mother had de-
cidedt to appropriate both owner and estate
as soon as possible after his arrival. The
new tutor, Mr.. Hamilton, soon became a
great favorite with his pupils. Living as he
did in the family. he soon became well ac-
quainted with all while he evidently admired
the beautiful Zoe, vino treated him with cool
politeness. OF Blanche he saw little. She
was only the Door relation, depending upon
her uncle for support, therefore compelled
TO bear every imposition and caprice her
worldly, selfish aunt and cousin saw fit to in
fict. Only little enjoyment was hers: a SOL
itary spot, q deep ravine wildly romantic and
secluded, not far from her uncle's residence.
Thither she went one beautiful afternoon
about the LIST of October, tripping along down
the small winding path that fed to the depths
below. But suddenly she paused, a groan
and a faint call for help arresting her steps.
fastening TO the spot where she judged the
The evening world., 1888-02-28

sufferer TO be, she saw n man lying at the
foot of the ~ravine, motionless and now quite
still.
In a few moments she was beside him, and,
on lifting his head from the ground, she
foundM Mr.. Hamilton, the tutor, unconscious.
Running to the stream of water, she dipped
in her handkerchief and bathed his brow.
At last he opened his eyes and gazed long
and yacantly upon her. .
All, yes, 1 remember. l did fall. 1
leaned over to pluck a flower and lost my
balance. But I feel better again, thanks to
you for your care, and will see If l cannot
RISE"
Lean on me, Mr.. Hamilton. l think I
can get you up the path, If it is steep, TO the
road, and from thence, after a rest, home"
Slowly, yet surely, leaning on the young
girl for that support he was SO accustomed
TO give to others, he crept along, often stop
ping to rest, until at last the level road was
gained, and from there his own room, to
which u physician was soon summoned, and
his limb set and bruises attended TO.
Lying thus helpless upon his bed, the door
partly open to allow a circulation of air, the
young man lay half doing, when he acci-
