been acquainted with from early years.
! Poor old granny could never see,
| never get near enough even to guess
at the half of this treasure of beauty
and delight
In consequence, granny was supposed
I to suffer such loss as rendered her an
object of very real compassion and for

which was one day to come, when, in
order to give her some enjoyment such
as she could appreciate and partake of,
she. Jerry, would sacrifice herself in

Yes, she meant to do that, to go
, through even with that for her poor
! dear's sake-granny was always her
''poor dear" when in these moods =
and, however hateful and wearisome
the whole thing might be, granny
should never know how much it cost
her.
| The resolution helped to salve the
wiliful young conscience many time
when Jerry had been more than usu-
ally self-assertive and independent.
She was going to be good by and-by,
and for the present she was going to
be-let alone. That. at any rate, was
too often the practical outcome of a re-
mOrseful tit.
With something of the kind in her
mind on the present occasion, the lit
, hsherwoman now ran merrily off down
I to the bridge. where Donald waited,
and was eagerly hailed by that expect
ant knight.

mistress with equal dispatch took from
him her rod, the two suddenly disap-

Into the recesses of the wood, which at
this point approached nearer the Castle
grounds than at any other.
Breath was precious, and neither
wasted it in words. A quarter OF an
hours hurried climb brought them to
the side OF the burn, which could be
heard ever more and more distinctly
roaring in its tumulous depths, but,
though brief, the transit was rough
enough to have soaked and torn any
less durable covering than that donned
by the prudent little maid. who now
fearlessly followed her pioneer over
messy rock and guagmire, until each
had slid down the Shiny bank, and
found themselves in ohe hollow. be-

They were not too late. The waters

Both, however, understood to move
