ANOTHER STARTLING ADVENTURE.
After Robert Glendcnning had been so
justly rrpulScd by Ethel in the grounds
Of the hall, he felt exceedingly ill-uSed,
and the more he pondered over the cold
ness of this beautiful girl toward him
self the more he felt inclined to punish
her want OF appreciation OF his merits
as handsome. wealthy. and popular
young man.
Her decided repulse OF every overture
that he had mad" served hut 10 enforce
the. desire he felt to subdue her pride and
turn her feelings into fawning admirs
ton
Robert Glendcnning was not, as Ethel
had supposed. a dissipated and deprayed
man. but owing TO the strange Influences
of his childho I'd he was a vain, reckless
and utterly sc. fish one. having a strong

miscellaneous temperament. Under proper
government while young he might have
made noble man. but neglect and im
diligence. together with the Eancful cX
ample, of both his uncle by marriage and
his spoiled sister. he had allowed his
nature to become perverted and driftcd
into the weak character We now find
him.
Immediately after his last adventure
with Ethel. viii c Yet chafed ana sore oil

That afternoon the wished-for oppor-
