heart to him forever.
THE sun had set leaving the water
cold and gray, before we remembered
how time was flying. The birds had
all gone to rest, all nature seemed in
repose, when we rose to return to the
housed
"Mr.l Culmore," began.
Newer Mr.. GILMORE again, Kate"
he saidl mine is not very melodi-
Gus name, but you must try to use it.
Say 'UlFic' always when you speak to
me-"
Uric" / said shyly, do not tell
any one just yet. Let me grow &C
customed to it first"
Il will do as you wish, my darling"
he said, but for short time only"
And then, although we were so near
the house that any one could see us
from the windows, he actually kissed
me again.
CHAPTER X.
kate" cried my lover impatiently,
! There are limits of human endur-
lancet"
Very small limits they are!" re-
torted. you, Uric, are the most i'm
patient of men"
The dark handsome face smiled.
You do not mean it, Kate If |
thought you did"
you shall not kiss me again, Uric;
have made up my mind. Yesterday,
| am sure, the gardener saw you"
He may see me again to-day, if he
likes." laughed Uric. IF a man may
not kiss the girl whom he is going to
marry, pray tell ma whom is he to
| kiss?"
That was a problem was unable at
the moment to solve.
Strange that we should be thinking
OF the same thing! | was just about
to tell you that human endurance has
its limits, and that | shall not bear
this kind OF thing much longer"
| knew very well that this Kind of
thing" meant silence as to our en-
gagement, but | was so unwilling to
speak of II.
1t was glorious morning at the
end of June, My lover-heaven bless
his handsome head and dark beauti-
full face!--had come out to smoke a
cigar under the chestnut-trees. AS
matter of course, l must go with
him. Sir Rudolph had ridden over to
Ulladale; Uric had devlined to ac-
company him.
we will have little picnic OF our
own. Kate" he said; 81 will have a
cigar or two, you shall have some
fruit, and We will improve the shin
ing hours"
1t was absurd to resist, to make ex-
cuses-which l did hypocritically
enough-for nothing on earth was so
delightful to me as to be with him.
You forget" said, that am Lady
Culmore's Companion"
Il know that you are my compan-
ion" he said; "and shall not give you
up, either to Lady GILMORE or to any
one else"
He arranged most comfortable
seat for me, and placed some fruit
where | could easily reach it-rich
ripe strawberries and purple grapes.
Now you have nothing to do but
to sit still, Kate. look charming. and
let me admire you. Do you know that
you look like the morning itself?
Your eyes are so bright, and you have
the daintiest of colors. Your hair
what dark hair 1t is, Kate!-an lies
IN rings and waves. Altogether. am
more in love than ever with my future
wife,"
he knelt by my side, kissed my
hands, kissed my lips, called me by
every charming name. | wondered for
moment whether he would always
love me in this fashion, or whether
GOODNESS or estrang3ment would come
to us as had come to Sir Rudolph and
Lady Cuimore.
You are thinking of something dis
agreeable, Kate; know 1t by the ex-
preston of your face"
sighed
II will not have you sigh. dearest F."
said my lover. "Sighs must not PASS
such lips as yours-lips made for
smiles and KISSES"
All. sweet sunny hours. sweeter than
words can tell. how quickly thew
passed, and how blissful they were!
Il was saying, Kate" continued VI
ric. that | have come to the end of
my endurance, To love you as | do.
yet not be at liberty to give full ex-
, preston to that love, is torture. Last
night, when you were singing, Won
looked so captivating that could
hardly refrain from taking you in my
arms and kissing you"
1T was well you did not" said
4 wondering what Lady GILMORE would
= have thought.
You said, dearest, you wished me
+ TO keep silence about our engasement
e Tor short time. because YOU wanted
to grow accostumed to it. Are YOU
accustomed to it YETI"
l haised my happy eyes to his face
and told him that the wonder is So
+! great THAI il lived for century n
would still be a source of suprame
astonishment to ME.
d Evidently, then. it is quite useless
