Of persons who do not understand

said: yes, get funny, old man; cut

around for moment and then said,
quietly: "I'll do a handspring for
you, gentlemen, but can't speak a
piece" Then he reached through the
silence and picked his hat of the
hook. That was the last time he
entered the club.

After a week had elapsed Cornelia

somehow that Rem was not so much
to blame as Cornelia, and other people.
You art right served" she said
to her brother, "fcr meddling with for

CHAPTER XIV.
"HYsh! Love Is Herc!"

On the morning that Hyde sailed for
America, Cornelia received the let
ter he had written her on the dis
covery of Rem's dishonorable con-
duct. So much love, so much joy,
sen. to her in the secret foldings OF a
sheet of paper! In hurry of delight
and expectation she opened it, and
her beaming eyes ran all over the JOY
full words it brought her-sweet fiut-
tering pages, that his breath had
moved, and his face been aware OF.
How he would have rejoiced to see
her pressing them to her bosom, at
some word of fondcr memory or de-
sire.
In the afternoon, when the shopping
for the day had been accomplished,
COrnelia went to Capt. Jacobus. to
play with him the game Of backgam'
mon which he'd become an almost
daily duty, and to which the captain
attached great Importance. Il owe
your daughter as much as l owe you
SIR" he would say to Doctor Moran
"and l owe both of you bigger debt
than l can clear myself Of"
This afternoon lie looked at his vic
itor with wondering speculation.
There was something in her face and
manner and voice he had never before
seen or heard, and madame-wno
watched every expression of her hus-
band-was easily led to the same OBJ
seryation. She observed Cornelia
closely, and her gay laugh especially
revealed some change. 1t was like
the burst of bird song in early spring
and she followed the happy girl to the
front door and called her back when
she had gone down the steps, and
said, as she looked earnestly in her
face:
You have heard from Joris Hyde?
I know you have!' and Cornelia nod
ded her head, and blushed and smiled,
and ran away from further question.
When she reached home she found
Madame Van Heemskirk sitting with
her mother, and the sweet old lady
rose to meet her, and said before Cor
nelia could utter word:
Come to me, Cornelia. This morn.
ing a letter we have had from my
Joris, and sorry am I that l did thee
so much wrong"
Madame, have long forgotten it,
and there was mistake all round"
answered Cornelia cheerfully
THAT is so-and thy mistake first
of all. Hurry is misfortune; even to
be happy, it is not wise to hurry. Lis
ten now! Joris has written to his
grandfather, and also to me, and very
busy will he keep us both. His grand
father is to look after the stables, and
to buy more horses and to hire serv-
ing men of all kinds. And long let
ter also l have from my daughter
Katherine, and she tells me to make
her duty to thee my duty. That is my
pleasure also, and l have been talk
ing with thy mother about the house.
Now shall so there, and very pleas
ant home l shall make it.
Then Cornelia kissed madame, and
afterwards removed her bonnet, and
madame looked at her smiling.
For nearly a week Cornelia was too
busy to take A-enta into her con.
sideration. She did rot care to tell
her about Rem's cruel and dishonor.
