like stone and as speeches., and as
white, her eyes fixed upon the cold,
steel-like water that has closed on the
stalwart form.
A minute-it might have been an
age-passes, and then something
black and sleek comes up beside the
punt, and one white hand grasps the
sides.
"Oh!" gasps Carrie. There he is!
OH"
In another minute Sir Heron is on
board and looking down upon them,
the water falling and flying from
every part of him.
With jerk the punt CRATES on the
gravel, and he stands before them
the locket lying in his extended palm
White still, but trembling now, May
puts out her hand and takes it, but
her eyes never once leave the proud
face, now all hard and constrained.

and he turned away.
"Will-will you not shake hands?''
she says.
He turns, takes her hand, holds it in
his cold one, that suddenly grows hot
as fire, and looks her full in the face
with look that seems to grave itself
on her heart. Then he touches Car
rie's cheer with a caress that is as
gentle as a woman's, and is gone.
They stand and watch him as if they
could not leave the spot-as indeed
they do not-until the tall noble figure
is lost to view
They then turn, and in silence walk
toward home.

"did you ever hear of such a thing
How noble-how noble of him! Think
of the water, cold-cold! Oh, it makes
me shudder. I shall never forget

closing over him and foking on as il
he were dead at the bottom and the
child begins to whimper.
"Hush-hush,' says May, and hel

like triumph. eyes, it was noble

"And you dislike him SO. You were

And May, who would, few hours
ago, have flashed an indignant retort

antly.
"Where have you been? l wish you
would not go out without coming, and

visitors, waiting to see you.''
Visitors, papa?" says Carrie.
"Ahem, yes-Lady Letchford and

that twinkle with qualification; "and
her ladyship has been gracious enough
to ask us to dine at the Wold!"
'To dine-at the Wold!" echoes
