The morning duties 'called - them down, and Katie's heart ached over her brother'suntouched breakfast, it .was 'comforted by seeing how deep was his father's sympathy. Days passed, and weeks, and Ned tried to bear his sorrow like a man. There was' no want of sympathy at home, where the loving eyes watched his pale , cheeks with a tender interest that was almest,painful, and the brave heart that wofild have given Susy its full wealth of love, was generous to the home circle, and for its sake tried to live down the pain of disappointment. I know to be a proper hero Ned shotild have moped and drooped, snubbed Ka tie; leen savage 'to all human nature, and finally left home to work out his spleen in some new life. Bat Ned'e heroism had .a strong element in his pare Claistian faith, which taught bun to do as he would be done by, to honor his!, father, to bear his cross patiently; and - . so, if his merry whistle had ceased, his voice gradually resunied its clear cheer fulness, and his manner grew doubly tendeii toward .

Not' a word drop ped fr'Om any of them that could give one some of reproach to Susy, and some vague ideas of a rescue occasion ally suggested theinselves to Neti,where his love might win her from her father's tyranny, or melt his obstinate resolve. The idea that Susy could ever be his wife without that couseut,never occurred to him.

It was, Sunday morning, and every body at the farm-house had gone to church except Ned and the baby.
