Ursula She looked at him as he con- cluded his story with a mingled ex- pression of joy, pride and astonish- ment-and then her eyes fell and she l held 1t firmly. tPoor little har1d~- blessed little handw Mary Cod bless it evermore!' said he, pressing his lips | to the scar with a kiss such as only q lover can give. The next moment he was gone.
 When John got back to Abel Flet- cher's house in Norton Bury, where he lived altogether now, he was taken with fever and hung between life and death.
 In his delirium he called constantly for Ursula. But one morning Phineas found him caImer and better He said he had had a vision in the night Ursula hade come to him and told him to live for her sake. Phineas could bear 1t no longer. He went to Dr. Jessop's 6 house, where Ursula, after brief stay with her relatives, had gone to make her relatives. had gone to make her home, home because the doctor had married & former governess of Ursula's rnineas told her the story, and Ursula came to John in reality, and told him, as she had in the vision, that he should live for her sake.
 When he had fully recovered oiu Abel took John into partnership with him and sent him to London, where the young man, though good Dr. Jes- sop, was introduced to many people, and even talked with the great MT. Pitt himself upon the state of the country and the di@content of the working classes
 When he returned he was some- thing of hero, and Lady Caroline de- clared she really must meet him, call- ing him several French names to signify that she considered him as hero of the common people-and she just adored the people" They did meet at Dr. Jessops house, and MT. Brithwood was there also. Lady Caroline was exceedingly kind, but Brithwood was insulting; and in spite of the fact that Ursula was there. John did not enjoy his entrance into Norton Bury society"
 He and Ursula were much together now, and soon 1t was all settled be- tween them. He agreed to forgive her for being rich if she would forgive him for being poor Besides, he was not so very poor now, and he bought a house in town which he fitted up, mostly with his own hands, for his bride.

 Squire Brithwood said to John9 Tell Ursula March she may marry you or any other vagabond she pleases. but her fortune Is in my hands and she shall not touch a penny of 1t as long as can keep it from her"
 In the late autumn John and Ursula were married and went to live, in their new home as happy as all tmpudent young people are when they marry for love alone and take no thought for the morrow Some time after their marriage, as John was walking along High street, a magnificent carriage drew up to the curb and a lady's hand beckoning to him. It was Lady Caro- line, already beginning to look old and faded. "Ah. delighted to see you, mon beau cousin" cried she, and turn Ing to a woman at her side said; Emma, this is he.'
 John caught the name and recognized the beautiful face; it was only too public, heavens knows,
 T am coming to see you" rattled on Hady Caroline. Your dear wife, how I adore herl May I come2 We will go, will we not. Emma?'
 Lady Caroline" said John. do not mistake me; do not suppose we are un- grateful for your former Kindness. We shall meet occasionally and will. I hope, be always friends But our paths lie as wide apart as the poles. Our society would not suit you. and that my wife should ever enter yours" with a glance at Lady Hamilton "is impossible
 Lady Caroline looked mortified for a moment, but soon resumed that gayety which nothing could ever ban ish long: "Oh. you will change your mind Au revoir, mon beau cousin" cried she. And she drove away in her splendor and with her secret woes with Nelsons mistress by her side.
