only for field sports, and associating with the idle follow- ,

And in another moment his arms were around her e
and she was sobbing, strained closely to his heart. Ile
did not speak, but he pressed wild kisma upon her hair
and cheek, and brow. tightening his clasp .meanwhile
as if he feared she would be torn from him. But no;
she lay quite 'till, the tears running down her face, and
sobs rending her very heart.
At last. some recollection seemed to cense to her. for
she tore herself iway or sud onclaslowl those twirling arms
aoying—...No. no; it cannot be7l hero pronfised--this

you fora sister until I can claim you. Hay you will; and
we shall forget this horrid dream, whit. I was so sear

How could she re,ist that pleading. affectionate glance
and turn so resolutely from so nisch offered happiness?
"bo not tempt me. Jinsie. God bless you. apd for

God forgive me, but I wish it was now!"
"Hear me epee more." he said. "I will be here,Ml

,
Remember, I will not leave this spot till thee. I know
yeti will come!" .
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.
The sky was uncloaded. and a rich light and shade
checkered the Path she trod so hrtrriedly. Now and
then through the trees came a glimpse of Aytoa Hall.
shaded by oaks os lordly as the massion, the bread elop

entrance of worldly ambition; and she would gladly have

Ellis, than the Mansion with us owner for her lord. She
purled the churchyard, and as she saw the still green
graves sleeping so quietly in the shadow of the crus t she
longed to lie doers beside them, to escape the did! psis
gnawing at her heart. If the rector had but besulterv.
hew soon would she have'confassed all, and bus hled
by his truthful advice; bat he was far distant. seeking to
'regain wasted strength. and there was nose to cowls
her.

Ellen sickened at the crafty smile which lit her features.
She wondered she had never seen the expreeelion befkire:
hut avarice is the sin of old age, and it had sapped the
kindlier nature of her protector. She pushed by almost
roughly. and entered theeettagp, which had been so many

work was lying a. she had thrown it down to keep the
tryst; but she was too miserabli to resume it. and leaned
her head upon the table. unheeding the chattering of
Dame Marjery. •
••ICs na' every bride that has the like o• thiq. my brain.
