she replied, just letting her hand rest
for a moment in his.

on, seating himself on a chair just IN

your hat off to me-"
He was a fne-grown. good-looking
fellow, big and strong and young, with
the unmistakable air of a man who Is
his own master; but in Dorothy's
mind a vision rose up at that moment
of another young man. who was also
big and strong, and very unlike David
Stevenson.
David frowned at the remembrance
Of the afternoon and of her companion,
and just then a neat maid servant came
in with a lamp, and the dusk vanished.
She set the lamp down beside Dor
othy, SO that David Stevenson was en-
abled to see her face clearly.

has come up to speak to you. She's

who had no notion of making the way
of a gallant too easy and pleasant TO
him. We'll, we shall see what he is
like when he comes, if we happen TO
be at home"
She began then to tell Dorothy all
about her day in Colchester. What the
lawyer had said, how she had been to
the bank. and looked in at the sad
dler's to say that the harness of the
little cob which ran in the village
cart must be overhauled and generally
looked to. Then how she had found

that line, and last of all how she had
been in to the jewelers. to get a new
watch-key and had there seen a won-
derful belt of silver coins which some
one had sold for melting down, and
this had been offered to her at such a
reasonable price that she had been
tempted to buy it.
"Auntie!" cried Dorothy.
"Oh, / did not say it was for you,
child" said Miss Dimsdale promptly.
D~orothy's face fell, and Miss Dims-
dale laughed. "There, child, there, |
won't tease you about it. There it is
on the chimney-shelf."
And Dorothy naturally enough
jumped up and ran to open the box in
which the belt was packed, opening it
eagerly, and uttoring a cry of delight
when she saw TIE beautiful ornament
lying within. 1t was a lovely thing,
and in her pleasure and pride at the
possession of it Dorothy almost forgot

that she hardly liked to turn back to

into the soft evening dusk.

very little that she could tell. The
language of love is an eloquent one,
but when you are one of the principal
persons concerned you cannot give to
another the history of a pressure of
b hand or a look of the eyes, and still
less of a tone of the voice which tells
you all too e%loquently of the state of
feelings which you cause in that other
one.

description of the party. How Lady

had sent her dear love to her; how
sorry she was, and everybody else, that
Miss Dimsdale had had to go and see
that tiresome lawyer on that particular
afternoon; how Lady Jane had told
her that her new white frock was ex-
quisite. and that she ought always to
wear full sleeves because they became
her SO well. and finally how there had
been n of the officers from Colchester

answered. "You see. Lady Jane does

shortly.
On the whole Miss Dimsdale would
have liked Dorothy to marry David
Stevenson, who was young and a good
enough fellow to make a good husband
He had a well-kept valuable farm of
four hundred acres a mile or two from
Graveieigh, with a convenient and
spacious house thereon, of which he
was very anxious to make Dorothy
mistress. But Dorothy had, with e
strange perversity, said nay over and
over again, and she seemed in no desire
to change her mind now. Miss Dlms-
dale gave a sigh as she thought of il

went across the room to the table

took UP an elaborate table-cover which
she had been working at in a more
or less desultory fashion for six
months past, and by the time David
Stevenson was shown in she was
stitching away as il for dear life. Miss
Dimsdale, on the contrary, did not
move from the window until she heard
the door open, then she went a few

or so nearer TO hers, and leaned for

Dorothy sat up very straight indeed,
and kept her attention strictly upon
her work.

asked.
"a man that Lady Jane asked to

promptly.

in a distinctly modified tone.

cried Dorothy, f%lippantly.
There was very little of the mute
lover about David Stevenson. and
whenever he found that Dorothy was,
in spite of good opportunities, slipping
further and further away from him,
he always got impatient and angry.
