Accordingly Mr.. Jameson arrived at
the Oxhaugh station ON the next Satur-
day evening. Miss Wright met him and
drove him up to The Hawthorns.

! of them. It'snot a grave you are to see,
but you must look grave when you see
it. Mind that, above all things"

Very well; I'm not curious. feel
as do when I'm reading story where
there is an extraordinary mystery always
kept before you; you know that nothing

If get away on Monday early in the
morning, don't mind"
Certainly, you can go by the first
train, and I'll drive you down with great

Next morning the Wrights and their
guest were seated in their gallery in
very good time. Miss Wright watched
| the people coming in, and at length,
when she saw the Bertrams enter, she
| fixed her eyes q, her cousins face to
note the effect The Bertrams were set
| tied in their seats with their faces full in
sight before he noticed them, then all at
once he saw and knew the eyes that had
/ CLEANED on him from the carriage win
dow at Summertown station, and he
bent his head and smiled with the kind
of expression people have when they
find out they have been pleasantly fool
ed. He turned to Sarah and whispered,
"Who is she2 what is sheg''
stHushl hush.g she exclaimed, gravely;

day"
VIII.
"Will," said Katie Bertram as she
and her brother were together in the gar
den in the evening, was the gentleman
who was in the Wrights' seat today the
person who was with them when they
were here?"
Yes" said VIII, shortly.
"Well, he was the man who lent me
the shilling at the railway station, you
remember
Il remember well enough; he was the
man, was her.
Yes, and Mrs. and Miss Wright were
the two ladies who would not believe a
word I said1
Not Miss Wright, surelyf" said Will
Yes; she said to her mother that ask
ing money on some pretext was becom-
ing a regular dodge at all the railway
stations"
II could have supposed that of Mr.. or
Mrs. Wright-they are marrow minded
people, and narrow minds are always
suspicious but can hardly believe that
of her. She must have learned it from
them, and her own dispositions have not
asserted themselves yet"
"But how will they agree?1 said Katie
"TheyH never agree after they are mar
ried, they are so different.
Except that they have been seen
speaking together, there is nothing to
make any one suppose they have the
least intention Of marrying"
IT think it would be a pity" said
Katie
"a great pity said VIII; cit is al
ways foolish thing for cousins to
marry"
"oh. they are cousins, are they?'
