It was a strange will, and not at ali the sort I would have expected Mr. Laurence to make. He left me his property, but not uncon. ditionally ; in fact, there were two very positive and annoying provisos attached to my enjoyment of his wealth ; I must agree to live at Grey. stone, the old Laurence homestead, for five years after my husband's death, or forfeit two-thirds of the estate, which would in that case go to a distant cousin of his. I must also remain a widow for the same period of time; for, in the event of remarring within the five years, | would lose all of the money, which was in that case to revert to the same relatives, I was indignant at the latter clause ; for I had fully meant to remain faith. ful to my husband's memory, and resented the imputation that I' might not, I wonder whether he suspeot- ed me of a weakness for Charlie Mor- ris, The first condition was displeas- ing, because it restricted my freedom of movement and condemned me to what I knew must be very like ban. ishment.

With some difficulty I restrained the dog from following him, and, burning with indignation at the man's behavior, which seemed to me as peculiar as the four-footed creature's, I continued my walk, 1 cut my promenade short, however, as soon us I thought it wus compatible with my dignity to do ¢o, and has. tened to see hel, XI found her much improved, so I curious na ve When I had finished she taviled and made no comment. f most the only irritating thing about Rachel was her lack of curiosity, “JY eannot imagine who it was,” 1 exclaimed. ** Perhaps it was some one Jupiter used to know, ”’ * Possibly,” assented my cousin, who had listened with indifference to my description of the stranger; and that wus all she would say. human mind, dies from lack of food; ject ot Jupiter's interest, 1 ceased to think about him, Two or thrice weeks after my en- counter, Rachel and I took a whlk to. gether, We went ia the direction of the village, as my cousin had an er- rand there, and, on our way. we S000 where all Mr. Lau- were buried, destination I or the chureh, rence’'s family we reached our grew and Rachel insisted on my turning she did not walking the remainder of the distance alone.
