She bad grown up in the Lodge to a tall sod stately `woman, despite the rustic dress ahe al ways were. end the household tasks at which she labor ed cheerfully. James Ellis hid removed to another par iah, bordering upon Acton, however.' towards which his holiday rambles were iilwiya directed; and the young squire had came into possession of the Hall, with a wild undisciplined mind and that same fierce will. Caring only for field sports, and associating with the idle follow- , ass which they drew around him, it was.no wonder that ) the quiet grace of Ellen Lloyd attracted him, meeting her as he did within the shadow of his very roof.

Bat the coutest was not se easily decided. fro no primise had been exchanged bitween them; and - Elea. in the power of Dame Mirjery. seemed only the servant of her will.

She shook her heed sadly, and walked rapidly swap, motioning him back when he would have joined her. There was no sympathy in nature for her heavy heart.
