Norah patted Casper's head admon-
ishingly.
Il don't think he is so savage. And

He always flies at me-" said Gull
ford Berton, cycling Casper sideways;
I'm sure don't know why"
There was moments silence.
Cyril resumed his packing up. Gull
ford Berton stood awlzwardly twitching
at the bride, then he said:
1T is fine morning for a walk

the estate for the earl. Good-morning,
Lady Norah, and. raising his hat, he
got into the saddle, and, with a swift
glance out of the corners of his eyes
at Cyril, rode off
Norah had gone down on one knee
the better TO hold and restrain Cas-
per while Berton was present, but she
rose now, and Cyril quietly came for
ward and picked up her hat
She took it from him with slight
inclination of the head and a Thank
you" and was turning from him, when
Cyril said in low and earnest voice:
May l venture to apologize for my
share-the larger, am afraid-in the
scene which fear you witnessed?"
Il don't think it was all your
fault" she said in as low voice as
his, but her lovely eyes met his frankly
and fearlessly.

Il am sorry l should have spoiled
your first visit to SO lovely spot. In

my only excuse for intruding. / was
so keen upon my sketch. But | will
efface myself as quickly as possible,
and promise not to repeat my offiense, =
You mean that you will go?
Please do not; at any rate, until you
have finished your sketch
You are very kind. l shall not

hurry, and, perhaps, spoil it, | am
sure the earl-my father-would De
only too glad for you to sketch any
part of the place. May see it?'
Certainly
Norah went up to it, and looked at
it and at once recognized that the tres.
passer was not mere amateur.
1T is very pretty she said, dream
lily. 1t would have been thousand
pities to have left it unfinished.
Please go on!"
He seated himself on his camp
stool obediently and took up his pal
cite and brushes.
What a lovely little glader' she
said, absently; "and how well you
have caught that beam of light across
the elm trunk"
well, that isn't difficult-a trick of
Chinese white and ochre. You spoke
just now of the earl as your father?"

said Norah. 81 only came here last
night, and have seen very little OF

His brush halted and he looked up
at her. Every WORT she spoke had an
intense interest for him.
"Only last night? How strange it
must seem to you'll

She assented,
"And delightful. / mean that

he went on without pausing, and,
jumping at an idea which occurred TO
