amused at the storm of patriotism
which she had evoked, but she an
swered gravely, and in her repressive
voice, When you have quite done

verb 'Haben, to have"
The words seemed almost like an
insult This cold dignity Of Corne-
las exasperated Esperance more
than anything; moreover, to have her
patriotism utterly ignored was more
unbearable than the seyerest scolding,
and in the worst possible humor she
repeated the verb, taking no pains to
pronounce the his.
She left Cornelias room much more
unhappy than before, and conscious
that her outbreak had been both
childish and useless Out of heart
with herself and with all around her,
yet unable to find the remedy, she felt
more and more miserable, and longed,
with sick longing, for relief in any
form-a letter from Gaspard, a sight
of Frances Neville, or even ray of
sunshine But nothing came the
postman brought no letter, Frances
did not come into RiIchester-even
the sun did not once pierce the gloom
Of that murky November day.
Mrs. Mortlake never spoke except to
complain. Bertha after her usual
effort was more tacituru than ever,
Cornela was sttff and displeased, and
Esperance was cross Not that she
would have allowed this to herself,
even; she felt, and in some degree
was, ill-used, but In fact the long
strain of the past year had so COM
pletely worn her out that mind and
body alike were unequal to the least
harass, and tritling annoyances, which
in good health she would have laugh

Gold and silver stars intertwined
with the national colors will be used

this year the old eagle is going to be

this could not be CONNIE il faut.
No escort was offered however, SO

of the deanery behind her, and
went out into the autumn twilight
At first the novelty rather pleased
her but when she had passed the VI

eerie, unprotected feeling mastered
her, and she shivered at the thought
of the long way to come. The bright
lights in the windows looked tempt

could have been happy in every one OF
the houses she passed, forgetful that
red curtains, warm fire light, and
bright picture frames existed also at
the deauery. And then she thought
of the hero of Excelsior when

and wondered il he felt as lonely and
desolate as she did; but then he was
bound on a great enterprise, and
she had only to live on quietly in an
uncongenial home, unless, indeed,
her enterprise were to be the fulfill

sadly forgetful of it she had been
that day. What harm had she done
to her cause!
Great tears welled up into her eyes
as she thought of this; perhaps she
was partly blinded by them, or per-
haps her little black figure was not
very noticeable in the gathering
darkness, for she came violently
into collision with a gang of laborers

all her books were strewn on the

in her quietly disagreeable voice;
"Oh, it's no use now; how can
change my pen In the middle OF this?
Couldn't your common sense tell

Esperance shrugged her shoulders

common sense did tell her it would be

without another word, she ran away.
