With some hesitation, jet quite

slender fingers, and they went to-

which led them into the green shad-

stepped. they came at length to q
LITTLE sumner house. They sat down
there. and in a few moments the seal

could speak Cornelia trembled; she
blushed. she smiled, she suffered her

laughter is always fatal to feeling:

It would have been harder but for
Madame Jacobus. Her smile.-quick
and short as a fash Of the eyes-re-
vealed to Hyde her intention OF favor,
and without one spoken word, these
two knew themselves to be OF the
same mind. And, in parting. she held
his hand while she talked, saying
at last the very words he longed to
hear

Thursday, Lieutenant"
He answered only, Thank you,
madamei1 but he accompanied the
words with look which asked SO
much, and confessed SO much. that
madame felt herself to be a silent
confdante and not unwilling accom-
plice.
AS Tor Hyde, no thought that could
mar the sweetness and joy Of this for
tunate hour came into his mind.
Neither Rem's evident hatred, nor
Arenta's disapproval, nor yet Cor
nelia's silence troubled him. Even the
necessary parting from Corneha was
only phase Of this wonderful glad
ness; for Love never fails of his
token, and, though Arenta's sharp eyes
could not discover it. Hyde received
the silent message that was meant
for him, and for him only. That one
thought made his heart bound and
falter with its exquisite delight--for
him onIy-for him only.
He was hardly responsible for his
actions at this hour; for when a swift
gallop brought him to the Van Heems-
kirk house, he quite unconsciously
struck the door some rapid, forceful
blows, with his riding whip. His
grandfather opened it with an angry
face
