was not little startled when large
bright drop fell down upon the back Of
his hand and then ran off to the ground.
He looked at her hurriedly.
"My child,-my dear child!' he ex-
claimed, in low tone; and then she had
snatched her hand away from his sud-
denly frightened clasp, and was sobbing
as though her heart would break. 1t
was the first time he had ever seen her
bright face clouded, even by frown.
He stood looking at her in silence, his
face very pale.
"Tessa, don't cry that way" he said
at last in harsh voice. "Why do you
distress yourself about SO small matter?
Hush, do hush, my child, / want to
speak to you. Shall l tell you where the
rose lies at this moment? You will not
laugh at me? Well, then, see; here it is.
next to my heart. Remember, you
promised not to laugh at me; and now |
will tell you something more laughable
even than that. I put the rosethere safely
because I knew that your hand had held
it, you little witch!-yes, your hand,
and it was precious to me through that
knowledge. Don't start and change color
that way, for you can't escape me, and l
know that you will not laugh at me-
now, at least. You must hear my con-
fession first, and then will let you 60.
No, I know what you are trying to tell
me, you did not know that the grave,
stupid professor had learned to love you;
but he has. He hid his love carefully,
little one, for he dreaded those mischiev-
Gus brown eyes of yours; but now it will
be hidden no longer. Tessa, my whole
soul cries aloud for you. I love you'll

He had taken her hand again, and was
holding it in both his own in close, be-
seeching clasp. His face was still very
pale, and his eyes were regarding her
with wistful uncertainty and eagerness.
She stood there mutely before him, white
to the lips; for Elizabeth's stricken face
had arisen before her and seemed forbid
ding this happiness which had come
to her. All her loving, generous,
impulsive soul rose up in answer to that
pleading light in her Cousins eyes.
"When you knew that I cared for him"
Yes, when she knew,-and she knew
now. She raised her head with an effort
and met his ardent gaze.
"Hush," she said, in choked voice,
"hush, there is another;" and before he
could keep her, or question her regard
ing her enigmatical words, she had
broken from him and was running back
over the path by which she had come,
with the tears binding her as she ran.

A few weeks later one of the finest
steamers on the Cunard line held three
names upon its passenger-list which were
Of considerable interest to many. They
were those of Mrs. lehman Dufferies,
Miss Tellman-Duffe-ies, and Miss Eliza
beth B. Armstrong.
The weather throughout the trip was
delightful, but despite that fact and her
many luxuries, the charperon of the
party grumbled the whole way out be-
cause her plans for the summer had suf-
fered such bewildering change. Dur
| ing some of these attacks her neice un-
dertook to mitigate her misery by calling
her attention to the unimpeachable con-
duct of her daughter, in whom a start
ling reformation had taken place. In fact.
it was easy to see that Tessa had not been
the same since those weeks spent in Nor
ganville. She was sweetness and gentlness
itself; and once or twice Elizabeth had
surprised her in long, wistful gaze fixed
upon herself, the tenderness of which
was positive pain to her. 1t was so
throughout that first year they spent
abroad; but at the expiration of the third
year something of the old Tessa asserted
itself, and just when Mrs. Tellman-
Dufferies had fully decided to remain
abroad for at least two years longer, she
found herself, her maid, bag and baggage,
aboard the "Paris," bound for home. 1t
was useless to expostulate with
Tessa; for if she wanted to return to
America, to America they must go.
The girl was feverishly restless that
first day out, and her face looked worn,
with the eyes strained and wistful. The
day was foggy and cold, with stray bits
of sunshine struggling through the mist,
and but few of the saloon passengers
seemed to care to haunt the deck. But
Elizabeth was there, looking very happy
and contented in the society of an Ameri-
can gentleman whom she had met in |
Berlin, and who was very devotedly |
tucking her rugs about her as she re-
clined in her steamer-chair.
Feeling herself de trop, despite their
efforts to the contrary, Tessa had wan
dered off by herself and leaned upon the
railing, pensively regarding the water.
'Miss Dufferies,-Tessa, have I found
you at last?"
AT that voice all the blood in the girls
1
body seemed to rush to her heart and
still its beating, and then returned in
food to her cheeks. She clutched the
railing convulsiyely.
Professor Stanhopel" she exclaimed
in a low tone, but the gladness lin her
her face was unmistakable. Seeing her
agitation he laid his hand over the one
on the railing, with a soothing touch
which quieted her.
Forgive me, have frightened you. I
should have warned you of my approach;
but the gladness and surprise of seeing ,
YOU mastered me, and l for got all else.
