that I want 70 call at tho third house
from here 20 see poor old friend Of
ours who IS IL"
Don't go today; you said l might
walk as far as your home. IL Is the first
walk have ever had with you, and you
are going to cut 1t short"
Il must call and see her today. l
ought 10 have gone long before this
1T is too late 70 90 and $50 any one
now. Il is much later than you think.
IL Is after 6"
THAT does not matter. She won't
mind its being late"
Then let me wait outside for you and
finish nv walk; don't defraud me of
that"

Certainly not. How could you? See

Not next Wednesday-not on any
Wcdnesday-never again should she 90

him was for ever forgotten by her.
When would that be: What lapse
Of time would enable her to for

as she toiled upstairs to the friend whom
she had not expected 70 see that day.
She and Mr. Carlton had had their first
walk and their last. Never moro must
she see him.
How pale you are. my dear" said old
Mrs. Lawson. What would she have
said had her eyes been younger? Miss
Falkland was paler stiil when she reached
her home. She was late and feared that
her father must have returned from the
city some time ago and be clamorous for
h.s dinner, and she was still IN her morn
ing dress.
He heard her come IN and hurried out
into tho hall 70 speak % her, carefully
shutting the door Of tho room he had just
left. Margaret. my sweetest, how late
