Was it only foolish Jealousy, or was it

Was It not natural and right that Philip

Philip was In alemporary dazzle of
admiration ; he neither reasoned nor re
flected. Uut for MlssAshurst,uosllght
eat glimpse of the truth had pressed her
mind. Sue thought Amy a sweet,pretty
child, but shy, nnd busy with house

sho liked him best when alone tl(o
truth being that a slight uneasy con
sciousness made 111 111 awkward when In
company with tho old love, with whom
he was somewhat a little "off," and the
uew, with whom he was not fairly
" on." So Miss Ashurst was not sorry

what had gone before, it did not strike
her as unusual or make her question,

" I think' thero U something. Not

Mrs. Mauran, quietly.
" What can you mean ?'
"My dear Miss Ashurst, may, I
apeak frankly to yon about something
that Is on my mind ? And you will not

" I am quits sere you will bo neith

naturally brought up together. List

his mother, begged my leavo to ask
Amy to holds wife." She paused a

that ho hail better wait a fow months
Oeforo ho said anything. I wish i
hadn't."
"Why?" ,
"I don't know why. It might havo

There was another pauso.
" My dear Mrs. Munran thank you,"
f nld Miss Ashurst at last, " Yon Were
right to speak. I havo made, mlsohlef
but without knowing It. You ,aro
sure of that 1 1 o'po."
" 1 am sure of It.' '
"Phil Is a charming porson. I llko
