CHAPTER XII.

Maude, as she has already explained,
has been having a hard time of it at
Glinn these last two or three days. Life
has been all so easy to her so far, that
she hardly realizes the facing of this,
her first genuine trouble. She is await
ing the post a~nxiously this morning; Gren
is certain to write to her by return, and
her belief in Gren is u%nbounded.
Once more the icy breakfast table she
30 breads. Her father looks at her as a
culprit who would subvert the old Gre
clan story, and sacrifice her parent in
stead of presenting her throat to the
knife. Mrs. Denison evidently looks upon
her as a sainted martyr. She loves and
sympathizes with her daughter; she an
proves of her spirited refusal, but she
cannot desert her old idols. 1.-THE king
can do no wrong" Harold Denison's
opinion must be hers outwardly, though
in her heart of hearts she may rebuke
herself for not being on her daughters
side.
"A letter from Grenville for Won
Maude," said her father, as he threw II
across. She and her cousin were repu.
lar correspondents, so that it excited M
remark; yet the mother noticed that the
girl, instead of tearing it open as was her
won't, slipped it quietly into the pocket
Of her dress. Maude felt as if she nos.
sessed a talisman against her troubles
and determined to read it in the solitude
of her own chamber, and there she betook

CHAPTER X.-(Continued.)

Grenville had made up his mind that he
was powerless; but still, all the same,
Maude's letter must be answered. This,
again, was not so easy to do. When the
girl you are in love with appeals to you
tearfully to save her from being married
to somebody else, the obvious course
would seem to be to run away with her
yourself. But, as George Eliot says,
Running away, especially when spoken
of as '~absconding,' seems, at a distance,
to offer a good modern substitute for the
right of sanctuary but seen closely, 1t Is
often found inconvenient and scarcely
possible" SO, though TO emulate young
Lochinvar and bear off our fair Ellen
of Netherby may seem the proper thing
to do on the first blush of such occasion,
yet, on mature reflection. it may prove
hardly feasible. Mrs. Lochinvar must be
clothed and fed, while the reiving and
raiding by which that adventurous gallant
doubtless supported the lady of his love
would, in these days, be known by the pro-
sale term of robbery with violence The
attention of Colonel Henderson and his
myrmidons, the grave consideration of his
co~untrymen, and an eloquent Grafton,
rather to his disadvantage, by a criminal
court judge, would probably be the ter
mination of young Lochinvar's career in
these days.
What is he to write? What is he to
say? Can you not guess? OF course he
will sit down and do the very thing he
should not. He can't help, but he can
cOmplicate her troubles. Love is essen
TALLY a selfish passion. Having no con-
ISOLATION to offer her, no assistance to rem
der her. he betakes himself to his desk
and pours forth his story of love and la
mentation. He exhorts her not to marry
Pearman, but gives her no hint of how
she is to combat the difficulties that sur
round her. He pours forth, in good, hon
est, genuine terms, the tale of his love:
he dwells on the certainty of his having
a home ere long to offer her through his
own exertions, and winds up with a ire
mendOus peroration about having loved
her from her cradle. He has lone moth
ing of the kind. His love is a child of
something under a twelvemonth's growth
and though l fear all lovers romance
fearfully, they thoroughly believe in their
Pigments at the time. Then comes another
sheet of postscript about 'can she love
him." he shall know no rest till he gets
her answer And after it is all done
and posted, Grenville Rose feels more I'M
easy than ever. He is not thinking so
much of poor Maude's troubles as What
will she say to his declaration of love?
He racks his brain for every trace of
favor she has shown him all the past
year. Sweet and c~ousinly she has been
ever, but no sign of love can he recall.
Fool that l have been !" he mutters Il
have been so careful not to give her a
hint of my feelings. l wish l had that
letter back. No, l don't. l don't know,

Come reckon time by stars,
And some by hours;
Some measure days by dreams,
And some by flowers;
Nv heart alone records
My days and hours.
Some have a dial, a clock
That strikes a bell;
Some keep a calendar
To o and spell;
But II have my love,
Infallible.
Nv heart Is clock enough;
1t beats for her,
Both day and night it makes
A happy stir;
It keeps the time quite true
Witt throbs for her.
The only calendar
That marks my seasons
Is that sweet face of hers,
Her moods and reasons.
Wherein no record is
