went over to Attorney and brought me
| home for a dairy pet a Young heifer from
there. Oh, she was a pretty creature
| was Daisy her coat was like satin, and
| her eyes for all the world like our Dita's;
| but she did not live. The food was very
rich, she was kept like a princess. and
| housed against the storm and rain; but
she grew thinner, and pined away. She
| missed the old scenes she loved: the
| friends of her youth; the poor shed in
which she had lived. Some could bear
| it, but she could not, nor could L.
| Mamie, wife, you do not think of me.
| What could do, were you to go?'
| you will have Dita, honey, and she
| is more fit companion for you than
| poor humble Mamie"
"Ah. she is not of uS-she too will fly
away. Mamie wait little time for me:
| let us go together"
She stroked his cheek gently with her
| hand, feeling the hot tears running down.
"All in Gods good time, honey" She
said, softly.
1t was brilliant October dav. keen,
| fresh, and invigorating, and all the Lee
| Aston party were out excepting the two
| invalids
| 1t seemed to Sir Edward wavward
| fate that he should thus be forced into
| daily partnership with the very Young
| lady he had been most anxious to avoid,
| tut it was inevtab bic.
ON the first day OF Perditas reappnar
| ance down stairs, Jack had tried his
chance with her and failed The events
| of that unfortunate night had increased
| his admiration for Miss Love! to genuine
| love, and he took away with him on a
| fishing eX petition in Norway a sharper
| pain in his honest heart than his friend
at all suspected
Meanwhile the boasted philosophy OF
| Edward Norton was in danger: he could
not help passing hours in the day with
! Perdita; had tried being wheeled into the
| billiard-rOom, bat great deal of shoot
| ing was going on, and the men were
| constantly out, and as he did not at all
| relish solitude, he returned to the draw
! ing-rOom, where he and Pcrdita were
! placed on opposite sides of a window aud
! enjoyed many a hearty laugh over the
| absurdity Of the position, especially
! when visitor was announced whom
! neither could rise 10 rcceive-fOr Norton
was even less able to move than Dita,

nutest Importance.
On one occasion, all the party being

minutes, began
