Flowers have ways OF acting very
much like people. All flowers love
the light. and will turn towards the
sun whenever they can. Some shut
themselves up a night as If they were
going to sleep. and open in the morn
ing. Sometimes the bees get caught
in the flower as it closes. and have TO
stay there all night. The tulips, the
little mountain daisy and the dandelion
arc some Of the flowers that shut up
every night, but they arc bright rs
ever on their slender stems next day.
The daisy looks just like round green
ball or pea. 1t was first called days
cyc' because it opened nj dawn.
The dandelions look at night like
buds that have never opened at all. in
their green coverings. When the sun
is very hot the dandelion closes TO keep
from whiting. Some flowers hang down
their heads at night as II they were
nodding in sleep. aud look up again to
welcome the light at n particular tilne-

 "Yes," he said, aloud, when she had gone, 'there is beginning of the end.

Then she put on her bonnet and cloak and started out, taking the road that ran past Honham castle. She had not gone hundred yards before she found herself face to face with Edward Cossey himself. He was coming out of q gunsmith's shop, where he had been ordering some cartridges.
 "How do you do, Bellea" he said, coloring and lifting his hat.
 "How do you do, MT. Cosseyl" she an-
 
 straight in the face.
 "Where arc you goingF he asked, not knowing what to say.
 "I am going to walk up to the castle to call on Miss de Ia Molle."
 "I don't think that you will find her. She is in bed with headache"
 "Ohl So you have been up there this morningF
 "Yes, had to see the squire about some business"
 "1ndeed." Then looking him in the eyes again: Are you engaged to be married to Idaf
 He colored again, he could not prevent himself from doing so.
 'No," he answered; "what makes you ask such questiong'
 ''I don't know,' she said, laughing little; feminine curiosity, suppose. I thought that you might be. Good-by," and she went on. leaving Edward Cossey to the enjoyment of very peculiar set of sensations.

 When the witnesses had gone, Edward looked at the letters, and then with a savage oath flung them into the fire and watched them burn.
 Good morning, Mir. Cossey," said Mir. Quest, as be prepared to depart with the deeds. "You have now bought your ex- perience and had to pay dearly for it; but, upon my word, when I think of all you owe me, wonder at myself for letting you off at so small price,"
 When he had gone, Edward Cossey gave way to his feelings in language forcible rather than polite, and what they were may be more easily imagined than described For now, ill addition to all the money that he had lost and the painful exposure to which he had been subjected, he was face to face with a new difficulty. Either he must make a clean breast of 1t to Ida about the mortgages being no longer in his hands, or he must pretend that he still had them. Ip the first alterna- tive, the consideration upon which Ida had agreed to marry him came to nothing More over, she was thereby released from her promise, and he was we'll aware thnt under these circumstances she would certainly break off the engagement In the second, he would be acting lie, and the lie would sooner or later be discovered, and what thena We'll, if it was after marriage, what would it mattera To a woman of gentle birth there is only one thing more irretrievable than mar riage, and that is death. Anyhow, he had suffered so much for the sake of this woman that he did not mean to give her up now He must meet the mortgages after marriage, that was all

The worst of your pain is over; all mine is to come''
 "Whys whys" broke in Belle "What is such a promise as that? He cannot force you to marry him, and it is better for a woman to die than to have to marry q man she hates, especially" she added, meaningly, Eff she happens to love another man. Be ad- vised by me; I know what it is"
 "Yes," said Ida, perhaps it is better to die, but death is not so easy. As for the promise, you do not seem to understand that no gentleman or lady can break promise in consideration of which money has been re- ceived Whatever he has done, and what ever he is, must marry MT. Cossey, so do not think that we need discuss the subject any more."
