CHAPTER VIII-Continued.

Mrs. Ogilvie was very hearty in her
manner; little more hearty than usual,
for she had a sort of feeling if some
thing extra In the way of civiliiy was due
10 him after the way her husband had
spoken of him. This illustrative of
two things. FIRST. the woman's uncon-
scious acceptance of an unfavorable
criticism OF an absent person as If it
had been made TO and not merely of him:
second. the way the sternness of mans
Judgment is viewed by the females of his
family. She insisted that Mr. Hardy
should stay for tea and asked joy TO ring
and order il.
Joy had been at once relieved and dis
appointed by the sudden entry of her
mother. The maidenhood In her was glad
of the postponement of the necessity for
her surrender: the womanhood in her was
disappointed by it. She was both maid
and woman: let the female reader say.
and the male reader guess. which feeling
he was staying a little longer; for so
she might at least feast her eyes on him
again. but ii was at best chastened
gladness. for well she knew that that
during that interview. And he was going
away next morning.
Athlyne. too. was i'll at ease He. too
knew there would be no more opportunity
now to follow up his declaration. The
chagrin of his disappointment almost
made him cross. such being the nature OF
man. Here. however. both his breeding
and the kindliness of his nature stood
to him: the shadow quickly passed. Later
on in the evening. when he was thinking
the matter over. he came to the concur
sion that the interposition. though he did
not attribute IL to any divine origin was
after ali perhaps best. 1t could MT or
might not. suit him to declare himself so
quickly. He felt that under the circum-
stances of his false name Ii would be
necessary. or at any rate wise. to take
Col. Ogilvie into his confidence before de-
claring himself to his daughter.
Ii is thus that poor mortals deceive

Rsrk' bis stfIa took him seemingly of
their own ACCOUNT toward the Riverside
dpve. When he came to place among
trees. seeming to hang over the river, he
sat on seat and gave way to his
thoughts. There was no one near .nm.
Below him was the quiet river with its
passing life: beyond, the Jersey shore, 50
apparent. He took off his hat. more in
reverence and for ease, he thought
of the beautiful girl who had SO strangely
come into his life. Over and over again
he said to himself in endless repetition:
Joy, Joyl JOY! JOY" He sat till the
light began to fail. and for long time
after the sudden darkness OF the Amer
lean night had swooped down. Then he
went home.
In the hotel lie found visitor waiting
for him. Mr.. Breckenridge had come IL

heartiness that Athlyne could not bear
to be amght ,byt hearty himself Though
he lonsed TO be alone. he insisted on

wave of his hand to proceed.

icaCy and nicely. His work is accurate
and skillful, careful attention being paid
to the minutest detail. but ii is not strlk-
ingly individual. Some NAV maintain
than this is not essential: that minia-
ture should primarily be a likeness and
that the painters personality should not
intrude, but this is the difference between
a mechanical reproduction and work OF
art. However, portrait painters, both III
large and little. commonly lay insufficient
stress upon likeness, SO if one is found
overemphasizing it occasionally no conf
plant should be made. No kind of por-
trait is more intimately personal-more
really pleasurable than a mipiature. and
these by Mr.. Maynard were in merit far
above the average.
