was certainly becoming to her. and her
dress was. to my eyes, the perfection Of
grace and elegance, giving fullness TO her
figure which, as ] have said before, was,
in my opinion, a trife too slight. Her
carriage was never wanting in dignity,
but / thought she bore herself with the
air of one conscious Of being mistress OF
the house. Yet there was no stiffness or
formality in her manner; little Laure
herself did not welcome me with sweeter
smiles.
] sat down by the fire and we fell TO
talking about the neighbors. j learned
that they had already received visitors,
though It was scarcely time to expect
them, and i was glad to hear this, not
only because 1T would be good for Laure
to find companions of her own age, but
for Miss Dalrymple's sake also. Mixing
among people who must appreciate her
excellent qualities, il was ten TO one that
some decent young fellow would fall in
love with her, and good might come Of 1t.

Lynn, the race was not won yet by many

he would be found nowhere when the mar

left the room. HAS Mr.. Yeanes paid
you another visit since we last metz
wondered whether the little frown
with which she replied In the negative
implied that she was hurt by his neglect
or vexed at the thought OF his calling
upon her again.
II was told that he intends TO redeem
his character before he again presents
himself" said i.
~ am very glad to hear II, she re-
piled, taking up her work.
However, you will be able to see him,
for he Is to be a near neighb0r." j fan
cied that che did not look particularly
pleased at this Inclination. He Is go
ing to live In the house over there, ano
from this window you will be able 10
see him, If you get up early, moving
his fields, following MS team, throwing
heart and soul and money into the noble
endeayor to become a worthy member OF
society and a model farmer"
but ] understood that Mr.. Aeaines
was IN difficulties"
