horse and got admitted TO the hunt: and
with his good looks, manly bearing, adj
mirabe horsemanship and skillful free
handedness, made himself generally pop
ular. One way and another / reckoned
he was living up to nearer eight bundled
than two hundred year.
"a pretty rod you're laying in pickle
for yourself, my boy" said / to myself,
and chuckled to think how he would have
TO draw In his horns when he found that
he was down In his uncle's will for a
| trifling legacy instead of the fifty thou
sand pounds he was calculating upon.
All this time he was paying assiduous
attentions to Miss Dalrymple. He saw,
though he said nothing about 1t to me,
that his uncle was thinking of Laures
future, and wished to provide for her per-
petual association with Gertrude, and he
knew the hold he had on old Flexmore
through this pretended attachment to her,
cunning rascal
let him go on, conscious that he
would not go too far. 1t was not likely
that, feeling now assured of that large
inheritance, he would pledge himself to
marry a penniless girl. With his uncle's
fortune and the effect he was now pro-
ducing, he would be able to take the pick
OF the county when he wished to marry
and there were, within twenty miles,
many girls more snowy than quiet I'M
pretentious, little Miss Dss.,,s'ymple, girls
with money, and much more to the taste
of such man as he. But though he
would not be rash enough to actually en-
gage himself, 1t was pretty certain that
he l.
little friend to believe that he intended
to marry her. and | feared that he might
obtain such hold upon her affection that
when he threw up the game, as he newt
ably would when he discovered that there
was nothing to win by it, the effect upon
her would be serious She was not a |
hirt; she had never cut up her heart into |
morsels and scattered it about amongst a |
crowd of admirers; her heart was whole
to be given to one man. and one only She
was serious and earnest in all things. and
it seemed to be possible that she might
never care to give to a second man the
affection that had been despised by the
first. For this reason l resolved, if | got
the opportunity, to shake her faith in Mr..
Lynn Yeames.
One day | met her alone in the road
that cuts through the Hazledown woods.
Here is beautiful morning, Miss Dal-
-ymple" said /, holding her hand.
"Oh, 1t Is beautiful % she exclaimed,
ooking around her "See how the rhine
IT'LL stands on the brake, and look how
he drops glisten on the gossamer. And
What lovely tints there are on the beeches,
md the brambles down there"

She looked thoughtfully before her for
minute, then she said:

in the ordinary sense of the word?' d
"Yes, if he married" k,
