CHAPTER XXX. THE ENERGETIC PURSUIT.  But before that train was ready to start, internally cursing all the, as he supposed, trickery of servants which had allowed o.mi to escape, Drayton sent on a telegram to York to await Onii's azrival. Meanwhile, the one so eaorly sought after journeyed forward with her two companions— the lady, and the tall gentleman who had obtained the ticket for her, and thought it no harm to seat himself in the same carriage with her, and gaze awhile longer on one of the finest figures be had ever beheld, and, as far as • thick veil allowed him to see, equally handsome face, yet, though so indistinctly seen, one which seemed not quire nnkuowo. When thoy had fairly started, believing all danger over, and half suffocated beneath her craps veil, Omi raised it. The tall gentleman gave a start, and an internal exclamation of surprise. "I think," he said, leaning forward, "that I have the honour of addressing Miss Glenwood ?"  Omi started. She bad been at home, in her mother's arms. The name sounded strange; she bad been Omi Devereux for an hour. "You do not recollect me," he sail, smiling; "but I had the pleasure of meetiug you at Lady's Crape's theatrical reunions" Owl looked full in the speaker's face. "Colonel Rawton. I think ?" she said. " The same. I feel really flattered that even tardily I should be remembered by Miss Glenwood." Omi coloured! it pained her to have appeared even partially rude to anyone •.Aud I have returned evil for good," she said, smiling: "After your politeness at the railway station, not to have recalled your person at once. But the feet is. Colonel Rawton, r have been on a very painful mission to Yorkshire, and it absorbed all my attention and thought." "I grieve to hear it, indeed, even though it is a sympathetic bond between us. I, too, have passed through Yee kshire on a most painful occasion. You, of coarse, recollect although you forget an uninteresting individual like myself, the Faust of your charming Marpeeeiter Now Omi perfectly recollected Colonel Rawton. He was one of those named by Cyrus to be of their party for the 12th of August in Scotland. Her lips moved; no words passed them, but she was very pale— she felt the blow before it came. "I see you have heard of it," continued the colonel, significantly. " But don't alarm yourself; he is bet,er now. He is indeed to be envied for the interest you take in him." "I—l know nothing, Colonel Rawton." fell from her lips. The lady passenger gazed silently and wondering at her fellow-ti &yellers. A real actress is a rare aria in terra in a railway carnage. " I am very sorry, really so," was the reply in a tone of earnest concern," that I should so unadvisedly have alarmed you. Traves is decidedly better, likely to do well; but the first day we were out (thank Heaven II didn't do it), Dews, who's as blind as a bat, and should never take a gun in his hand, lodged the contents of his full iu Trayes's chest. He fell. we all thought him killed--Ha! you look pale. My dear Miss. Glenwood 1 What is the matter P She's fainted I" A pleasant circumstance to happen to a man in a rail'-ay carriage going almost express speed ; one lady in a dead faint in his arms, and another shrieking for her life. 'Such was Colonel Rawton's position—Omi pale and lifeless, and their fellow-traveller , shrieking murder in the highest soprano she was capable of.
