along his pulses, and then they seemed
to pause He drew deep breath that
was almost sigh. and remained mo-
tionless.
He had no preconceived fancy OF fall
ing in love with Miss Sally atfrst sight,
nor had he dreamed such thing posi-
bic. Even the girlish face that he had
seen in the locket, although it had
stirred him with singular emotion,
had not suggested that, and the idea
he had evolved from it was never
potent presence. But the ex-
quisitely pretty face and figure before
him, although it might have been
painted from his own fancy of her, was
still something more and something un-
expected. All that had gone before
mad never prepared him for the beauti-
full girl that now stood there. 1t was a
poor explanation to say that Miss Sally
was four or five years older than her
picture, and that later experiences, en-
larged capacity, different life and new
ambition had impressed her youthful
face with refined nobility; it was a
weird fancy to imagine that the blood
Of those who had died for her had in
some vague, mysterious way impaired
an actual fascination to her, yet it was
fact that even familiar spectator
like Sophy, saw in her young mistress a
very pretty young lady with the softest
pink complexion, the silkest hair-that
looked as the floss of the Indian corn

was it tactfnl to recall a sentiment
which might have been weakness of
which she was ashamed. Yet, clear
headed and logical. as CORTLAND was in
his ordinary affairs, he was nevertheless
not entirely free from that peculiar
superstition which surrounds every
mans romance. He believed there was
something more than mere coinci~
dence in his unexpectedly finding HIM

changed his mind and asked to see Miss

parture and the appearance Of Miss

and doubtful. He had the photograph
