removed, leaving the blacklist hairs, which are

We have at our home short distance from the

Nve-oaks, water-oaks and magno!ias, the branches
Of which are gracefully festooned with this living
tapestry, which is ever swaying to and fro with
the breeze from the famous old gulf: Underneath
The broad branches, where old Sofs rays rarely
penetrate, swing bammoeks, where we can go ana
forget the trials OF the schoolroOm, pursue our
studies aud admire the different members OF the
G. C., or gaze out on the beautiful blue bay where

HARRY McCALLEY's STORY.
CHAPTER VIII
A large crowd was soon bending over her, among
ffrfss Ff.4vrs i4rfa ! coli QDsa
scious, but not until she Harry Winters gazing
fondly her with his dark blue eyes, did she fully
resglizs what had happened.
But the blow was over, and Leoiine thanked God
that lie had opened her eyes at last. So when
Harry Winters, advancing, told her what fright
she had given them, and asked her II sue would
like for him TO take her home, she answered as cool
and calm as If nothing bad happened, that she
should indeed Ike TO go home, il it would not be
robbing him OF his enjoyment. The carriage was
soon at the door, and Leolne, accompanied by
Mrs. Seaford, was quickly driven homo.
In tie hall Leo!ine requested Mrs. Seaford to fol-
low her to her room, rs she had something she
wished 10 say 10 her. Mrs. Seaford wondered at
this request, but did as Leoine wished.
Just what passed between them cannot say.
However Harry, who WAS impatiently waiting the
return Of his in The drawing room, received
a look, when she did appear, which he never for
gOi; and when she informed him that Leoline was
going home the next morning, every vesLige OF
color left his face, and eiutehng his aunts hand
he begged her TO coax Leoline 10 stay. " l have
just discovered" he said how greatly love her,
and 20 part with her would be worse than death.
OF course she heard what said to Hawleyi but
fool and knew not what l saying,
though at tine time l thought meant it. Go, aunt,
and tell her how pentent am, and beg her to let
me see her if only for few minutes
No. said Mrs. Seaford, it would be worse than
useless. Iodine is determined aad nothing can
move her. All the love she had for you has van
Isied and nothing remains but to forget, II you
can" So saying. she left the room, and Harry,
throwing himself on the sofa. was left to his own
reflection.
