It was like a dream, to come to tbe splendid home, to know there were to be no more weary tro?ples for daily bread; to wander through mspoifi cent rooms and extensive grounds, with tbe deliciously novel sensi'.ioa of ownership. And it must be confessed that, Alice at first thought but little of the dis poscseed heir. But be introduced himself soon as a cousin, and visited the bouse as a welcome guest. For in answer to the second c'au'-e of Mrs. Hill's question, what was he? Alice could have answered that be was tbe most fceinatieg niun she had ever seen. And Alice Hill, though abroad winner in tbe busy world, bad moved in good society, having aristocratic family connections both on her fa ther's aad mother's side. She was no novice to be won by a merely courtly manner, but she bad never met a man whose intellect was so broad, whose courtefy was eo winning, whose face was eo band porue, a were those of Godfrey Hill. And vet there was a letter ia ber writing desk, written bv tbe dead man whose heiress she was, warning her tbat "because be is unworthy, because be baa betrayed tbe truxi I put in him, I have dirioberited God frey Hill." There was no specific charge, no direct accusation, but the young heiress was warned against ber cousin. Yet, in the many long conversa tions tbe two had held together, Godfrey Hill bad endeavored to con viuce her fair cousin that bis grand father had been influenced by verv false friends to believe 8ia;ements to his discredit tbat were ut erly un trae. He had almost convinced ber that he was an innocent victim to uni r tunate circumstances, a victim to a mistaken sense of honor. She was young, naturally trustful and ber heart was free ; so it is not wonderful tbat Alice Hill was in clined to reato'e the dixLberite 1 man to hia estate by accepting the oflV ot bis beart and band. Absorbed iu her reflections, f Alice did not notice that the clouds were gathering, till a sudden summer shower broke with violence above the tree-teps. Tbe rain came through tbe braocb es suddenly, drenching through her 'thin black dress, and she ran quickly to tbe nearest house for shelter. Tbe nearest refuge proved to be the cottage wbero Mrs. Mason, who did washing for the great house, lived with her daughter L zze, one of tbe village beauties. 1 bc-re was a great bus licg about when Alice presented herself at tbe Uoor. "Mercy sakes! You're half drown ed, the old woman cried, hurrying her nnexpected gnest to the ki-chen fire, "i on re wet to the skin, dearie.
