Her aunt found her kneeling 80, but |
did not know that she was crying, until /
she raised her from her knees; and then shk
saw those silent bitter tears. and then she
pressed her to her heart and stroked her
golden hair.
Il will not see him again, aunty, except
Ing to say good-by. l will keep my own
room, only please do not hasten his going
because of that. Dearest, should like him
to be here, about the house, so long as he
can-do not hasten him away, do nothing
that may make him suspect, because that
would kill me. aunty Oil l would like
10 see and kiss Miss Graham. Find out
her Christian name for me aunty, so that
may speak to her like a sister when l am

While they were together viii Tryfoil
was in the dining room alone, thinking
deeply and smoking dreamily. While he
was lighting cigar. Miss Bentley, who had
Just said, good night" 10 her niece,
opened the door,
! Will turned round. They both smiled
sadly. They remembered at once that they
had filed exactly the same positions in that
| room once before--on the first night of
| Willis stay at Hazelwood House.
With her hand upon the door as it had
been them she slid what she had said ON
that occasion;
Zone sentence, Mr.. Tryfoil!"
She smiled again, stifed sigh, and then
left the door, and spoiled the likeness.
Ada will have no more drawing lessons,
said Miss Bentley. We have had very
serious conversation on this unfortunate
matter, andas you have seen. she is strange
ly calm. We think it better that she should

Will bowed,
I'm that case, he answered, there is no
occasion for me to inconvenience you any
longer. Shall | so to- morrow"
Il would rather that you waited till the
end of the week. rs We at first arranged,
and for these reasons, she said: IF you
depart so suddenly you will arouse the curl
osity fmy servants, which is not desirable;
and you Will possibly arouse Adas fears
that knowledge of her secret has fastened
you. Let us say Friday morning."
Friday morning, Miss Bentley. So be
1t, then"
And now goodnight. she said, adding
with smile, 1t is rather odd that your
connection with Hazelwood House shoul,
end exactly as 1t commenced, by your being
simply my guest till Friday. Once more,
good hight!
VIII Tryfoil wrote sho,t letter the same
night to Emily, the composition of which
seemed to be difficulty to him, inasmuch
as he spoiled several sheets of paper before
he could fill one satisfactorily.
! do not know, little woman, he wrote,
whether you will cry or laugh at the grand
piece of news have to give ou-possibly
you may do both. Prepare yourself. have
thrown up my engagement here, and am
going to you on Friday for good. Full par

objection to my bachelor pockets that il

brave enough, and think your mother viii

risk the rest. :"
The letter was posted early on Wednes-
day morning, and Emily received it OF
the evening OF the same day, with great de-
light DIT the prospect of seeing VIII sc
soon.
Jack Graham called on his mother and
sister that evening, and was much surprised
OF Will throwing up his engagement; he
asked Emily if she knew the cause of Lis
doing so, and when she told him that she
did not, he answered that it was strange
to say the least and shortly after left then

I hat night he wrote letter to the beggar
which he addressed to him, Under the car,
of stlble-boy, Dinglewood.
On Thursday morning, Will and Miss
Bentley made an excursion to Elmsfort
Priory ruins. In the evening he got lone
and loving letter from Miss Graham, Ger.
