Mr.. Binney smiled complacently; a
feeling of well being and comfort took
possession Of him. OF a certainty il
was very pleasant TO have a congenial
somebody TO bear one company-one
who could talk well, listen well. and
hold her tongue well, il necessary.
Experience had assured him of that.
Miss Bright possessed each Of these
good qualities. When she had stayed
there, when Mrs. Binney was first i'll,
their evenings had passed very pleas
antly, and recalling the things they
had done, he asked:

"Cribbage, Backgammon"
I've no one TO play with. That is
one thing in my going away, and she
swallowed a sigh-"my evenings will
be less lonely"
"Ah, yes; | find the time very long
after dinner. don't like 10 60 To led
before half past 10, although often
feel inclined to-"
"And the days draw in so quickly

But Mr.. Binney remained firm; his
hat and coat were brought 10 him
and away the two set off together.
They chatted pleasantly as they
walked along. Il shall hope TO come

Mr.. Binney apparently was no bet
ter able TO inform her, and they
walked on silently until the Conway
road was reached.

out her hand, but Mr.. Binney did not
take it; he was engaged III hailing q

purse, and Miss Bright knew that ht
intended settling with the man for th,

provingly.
Mr.. Binney gave the directions to
the driver. and then he held out his
hand, hesitated, opened the door, and
said, II don't see why l should not &c

AT the railway station they had but
a very short time of waiting. Miss
Bright stood near the carriage which
she had chosen; nothing remained but
to say good-by and enter.
