huge masses of nearly pure copper

this season is estimated at from $40

CHAPTER TX.

That same afternoon Lord RIVERS
went boldly to Acacia Cottage. After
all, to face a tall, angular lady with
a great dislike to his sex was not per
haps the most alarming ordeal in the
world. He knocked at the door,
which, in answer to his summons, was
opened by the little maid She looked
considerably alarmed at the sight
of the tall, handsome stranger, so i'm
posing visitor never having, within
her experience. called upon her mis-
tress.
"J want to see Miss Atherton," said
the young lord. lis she at home?"
The little maid dropped a courtesy
but made no reply; her establishment
and fright seemed to have stricken
her dumb.

no attempt to speak,
Still without a word she ushered the
visitor into the little parlor Lord Ry-

hastily closed the door behind her

come guest. She looked ready to en-
, counter a legion of lovers; there was
no sign of quailing in her eyes or face

world-famous "May-pole." This morn

as she carried away his untouched
breakfast, said to him:
You are not well, sir; you walk toe
much, or you work too hard; give
! yourself q days rest"
He laughed to himself What rest
would there be for him until he should
have learned his fate?
The breakfast being carried away
/ he went out. Better would it be to
! spend the minutes Of consuming tor
! ture out in the open air, where no one
. could comment on his appearance or
wonder at his words. And, as he
walked along, he repeated over and
over again song that required to his
mind

Her gentle souls distress.
What is it to me one sorrow more,
So that she has one less?
yet l could wish, when I am dead,
Her eyes should look through mine;
And on my heart engraVen read
This motto Dir Allein.'"
How the words seemed to echo
through his brain over and over again:
Then bird flew, from the great oak
tree, and he thought of Swineburne's
beautiful line:
"a bird to the right sung follow"
The bird did fly to the right; 1t went
over the river. and into the orchard
that belonged to Acacia Cottage. He
would follow; he had told her that he
should be there by ten, and it was yet
only nine. Would she have found the
geraniums? And, if she had, would
she wear them?
He could see all over the garden and
orchard from the green lane that ran
parallel with them, and there he stood
awaiting his doom. He remembered
once to have read that, when a man
stood up to hear his sentence of death
passed, it was not the terrible words
that impressed him so much as every
little detail Of the scene in court: so
he found it with himself now. The
one great Issue seemed to pass by him,
as though he hardly knew why he was
there, and the smaller details seemed
to press upon him. The linden-tree
under which he had asked her to stand
for brief moment, grew at the end
of the garden, plum-tree stood near.
He saw the birds seeking and enjoying
the ripest plums, then flying in search
of other sweets; he saw the kitten,
soft and white as a SNOWFALL, creep
along the wall, climb the tree, and lie
in wait for a small bird and then he
saw the fiutter of blue dress amongst
the trees. His suspense would soon
he ended now.
Down the garden paths, over the
grass, across to the white rails, came
Violet; and then stood for one moment
under the branches of the linden-tree.
Lord RIVERS eyes flashed With hap
Ply pride, his face flushed with pass
tomato delight, his heart beat fast, his
pulse thrilled. She had looked over
the edge of the hedge Into the lane,
and he saw the CLEAN of golden hair,
the beauty Of her pure young face.
