Tricks Of the Grouse.

There is q close resemblance between
the domestic hen and the grouse mother.
A hen, as you know, win boldly fight
anything in defense of her young, al
though nominally she is great coward.
A grouse hen will not attack man or a
dog, but she will resort to arts and de-
vices to protect her little ones that are
both amusing and pathetic. She is a
very sharp sighted bird, and in her prai-
RE home she is sure to see you before
you discover her presence. She could fly
away at your approach, but she viii not
desert her chicks. She will first hide
with them under tuft of grass, in the
hope that You may pass by without dis
covering her.
II she finds that you have discovered
her she will ny away few feet, fiutter-
ing and falling as if wounded, with the
manifest purpose Of drawing you away
from her brood. If you follow her she
will keep on with this queer stage effc-:.,
gradually leading you away until the
chicks are safe<

Granville came down from London by
the afternoon express, as had feli sure
that he would do. In fact, timed nv
return so as to meet him just when he
drove up to the door, and we entered the
house together The best plan was to
get what / had to say over in as few
words as might be; SO, when had led
him into my sanctum and had given
him a cup of tea, / told him point blank
that did not love him well enough to
marry him. ! explained, perhaps rather
foolishly, that circumstances had forced
this conviction upon me; whereat he
smiled in the slow, exasperating way
which believe is considered to be one
of his strong points as debater.
''This does not surprise me, Diana"
was his comment upon my penitent con-
fession.
II am quite aware. my dear Gram
vile" returned for own that his COM
posture irritated me little), "that moth
ing ever does surprise you. am very
glad that you are not surprised, and also
that you are not particularly distressed"
THAT" he observed, lis merely your
assumption; / am not conscious of hav-
ing said or done anything to warrant it,
MY sole meaning was that can appreci-
ate the force of circumstances hope
you are now in a fair way toward curing
the young Mr.. Longfeld whom you SO
nearly killed.
After had informed him that Mr..
Longfield was recovering rapidly there
was short pause. Then he resumed:
The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1891-07-26

and speedily made his escape. / am
sure it was quite as great q relief to me
as it was to him to say good night.
But when the post came in on the fol-
lowing incoming, / received letter from
Lady Sutton which astonished me great
II, and the contents of which had no
choice but to communicate to Mr.. Long
field
ssDear Miss Selby," she wrote, sit is
most painful to me to have to tell you OF
something which had hoped to keep
secret for many months to come, but
after you had left me today / felt that,
in justice to poor Jack, ought not to
conceal the truth. I will leave it to
your kindness and good sense to decide
whether he had better be told at once or
not; only please do not let him come
here. know must seem to have been
faithless to him; still there is a differ
ence between the sort of boy-and-girl
Irritation that he and had once upon a
time and the love of ripper years. Be-
sides, quite thought that he had for
gotten me.
81 am afraid you will be rather dis
pleased to hear that | am engaged to Mr..
Maitland, and that we are to be married
IN about years time; although, as you
yourself no longer care for him, I don't
know why you should mind. Knowing
him as we'll as you do, am sure you
will believe that he scrupulously re-
Trained from telling me what his true
feelings were until you had set him free. !"
The letter was a to1erably long one;
but there is no occasion to quote more
than the above passages from it. In
deed, the remainder did not greatly in
terest me. The question was whether it
would be safe to tell Mr.. Longfeld all,
and | had by no means made up my
mind that would do so when he came,
with very serious face, to inform me
that DR.. Bowles had sanctioned his inn
mediate departure for London. How
ever, need scarcely say that found
half measures impossible. I tried to dis
suade him from attempting to see Lady
Sutton on the ground of her recent be-
reayement, and I tried to hint very
gently that there was chance of her
being no longer quite of the same mind
as she had been before her marriage, but
these subterfuges were of no avail.
"You are keeping back something from
me, Miss Selby," he said at length.
.sPlease don't do that, because it isn't
kind or friendly to deceive me, although
/ know You mean to be both"
So then blurted out the truth clum-
silly enough, and / must say that the
effect which it produced upon him was
startling in the highest degree. Up to
that moment / had firmly believed
Jack Longfeld to be modest and even
a somewhat tinid young man; certainly
had imagined that he was a good deal
in awe of me. But these illusions were
rudely dispelled when found myself
being kissed and embraced without so
much as a preliminary word Of warn
ing, and when he did speak, the asser-
ton that he made was characterized by
anything rather than rnodesty.
The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1891-07-26

l FOUND MYSELF BEING KISSED AND EN-
BRACED.
81 knew all along that you loved me,
I he declared unblushingly, "but you felt
that you were bound in honor to that
fellow, and when I heard that old Sii
Edward was dead felt much the same
thing with regard to Lady Sutton. How
can we ever thank them enough for hav-
ing taken fancy to each other."
pointed out to Jack that his case was
far from being upon all tours with mine.
had never pretended to be in love with
Granville rlan with whom it was pre-
posterous to imagine that anybody could
fall in love-whereas he had undoubted-
younger and prettier than was. Well,
he admitted that he had once been en-
amored of Lady Sutton, but he would
admit nothing more, and perhaps was
not overwhelmingly anxious that he
should. Beauty, after all, can only be
defined as that which pleases the eye.
If my sallow countenance pleased his
eye more than her lsdyship's pink and
white one, it was not for me to complain
or his bad taste.
So it has come to pass that in these
days Jack hunts the old brown mare. l
wanted to turn her out to grass when he
peremptorily forbade me to get upon her
back again; but he says his weight
makes all the difference to her, and that
she is safe enough for him, though she
would not be so for me. If it comes to
that, may as well acknowledge, with
out wasting more words about it, that
his hands are better than mine. In every
way andall ways he is better than am,
think which, no doubt, is just what a
wife ought to think about her husband.
I do not know whether that is the light
in which Lady Sutton regards Granville;
butt am sure hope it is. If my hearti-
est good wishes are any comfort to that
couple, they may rest assured that they
possess them; for, as Jack truly says, we
have every reason to he profoundly
grateful to them both.~ y
