CHAPTER XIV.
.TUsH! LOVE IS HERE.

On the morning that Hyde sailed fer
America Cornelia received the letter
that he had written her on the discov-
cry OF Rem,s dishcnorable conduct so
much love, SO much JOY, sent to her in
the secret folding of a sheet OF paper
In hurry Of delight and expectation
Ohe opened il, and her beaming eyes
Tan all over tar joyful word it brought
her-sweet futtering pages that his
breath had moved, and his face been
aware Of how he would rejoiced to
sec her pressing them to her bosom.
at some word of fonder memory or de-
sire.
Tcere was much in this letter which
it was necessary that her father and
mother should hear-the Earrs mes
mother should hear-the earl's mes
sage to them-Hyde's own proposition
for an immediate marriage, and various
necessities referring to this event.
But she was proud and happy to read
words of such noble, straightforward
affection, and the doctor was especially
pleased by the Difference expressed by
his wishs. When he left the house
That day he kissed his daughter with
pride and tenderness, and said to Mrs.
Moran:
Ava, there will be much to get and
much to do in a short time, but money
manages all things. Do not spare
where it is necessary" And then, what
Important and interesting consultations
followed! What lists of lovely gar
ments became imperative, which an
hour before had not been dreamed Of.
What discussions as to mantau-mak-
erS and millinerS, as to guests and
ceremonies, as to all details of a
life unknown, but invested by love and
youth with a DELIGHTFULLY."- overwhelming
Importance.
Corneiia was so happy that her or
binary dress of grey camelot did not
express her; she felt constrained to add
to it some bows OF bright scarlet rib
bon and then she looked around her
room and went through her drawers
10 find something else to be a visible
witness to the light-hearted singing
within her. And she came across some
coral combs that Nine. Jacobus had
given her and felt their vivid color
lag in the shining masses of her dark
hair to be one of the right ways Of
saying to herself, and all she loved,
See how happy 1 ami
In the afternoon, when the shopping
for the day had been accomplished She
went to Capt. Jacobus TO play with
him the game of backgammon which
had become an almost daily duty, to
which the captain attached a great i'm
portance. Indeed, for many weeks II
had been the event of every day TO
him, and if he was no longer depend
ent upon it he was grateful enough -
acknowledge all the good it had done
him. Il owe your daughter as mach
as I owe YOU, sir" he would say to Dr..
Moran. And l owe both of you big
ger debt than l can clear myself of.
This Afternoon he looked at his Wis
itor with wondering speculation. There
was something in her face and manner
and voice he had never before seen or
heard. and madame, who watched every
expression of her husband, was led to
the same obversation. She observed Cor
nelia closely, and her gay laugh especial
Iy revealed soma things 1t was like the
burst of bird song in early spring and
she followed the happy girl to the front
dor and called ner back, when she had
gone down the steps, and said, as she
looked eranesty in her face.
You have heard from Joris Eyde; I
know you have" and CorreIia nodded
her head and blushed and smiled, and
ran away from further questions.
When she reached home she found
Nine Van Heemskirk sitting with her
mother. and the sweet old lady rose to
meet her, and said before COrnela could
utter d word g >pt<- g.
~s.Come to me, Cornelia This morning
a letter we have had from my Joris, and
sorry am 1 that l did thee so I lch

Madame. I have long ago forgotten
it; and there was a mistake all around, .
answered Cornelia cheerfully
That is So-and thy mistake first of

happy, it is not wise to hurry. Listen,

Then Corne.ia kissed. Madame. and
afterward removed her bonnet and
madame lookeded at her smiliin. The
vivid coral in her dark hair. the modest
grey dress with its knots of color, and,
above all, the lovely face alight with
love and hope, delighted her
Very pretty thou art, very pretty
indeed, she said impulsively, and then
she added: Many other girls IRE
very pretty also, but my Joris loves
thee, and l an glad that it is thee. and
