,with who lie flirted said be had no

It is vqten that there is a tide in

Squire's youlg - wife; - but looking with

said to himself, as he undressed the
night atter hg arrival, and so he repeat
ed still more l i dasionately, when, on the
footman rousitg him the next morning,
he became coiscious that Kate's gray
eyes had beet!shining upon him in his
dreams.
"The bomils meet at the koinel,"

says yOu'd beter be down soon; as he

"All right," iuoth Brian; and having
luckily come Fovided with breeches
and tops, it wts not long before he de
scended to thq breakfast-room, where
he -found Kale iresiding, and the Squire
and a couple of strangers from the
other side of tie country busy iu for

your. father and I were. comrades in.
early days, and saw , some ,hard times
togetherwith.tb el) ukti'of York: You

IY ?" And then, , turning to .Kate, he
went on,- c‘,lpssy . was nay-,nickname
When I joined; I believe.in:those days

,
coming fresh from amotheea care, my

that time, stood by, me in more than

"Hie father is dead, General," whis
pered Kate, her soft eyes . filling.
"Yes, my dear, I know; but the
memory of a good - Man never dice. His
father was one of the beard them."
.So Brian's heart wan .at rest, aud'
what was left of it went, straight to the
out-spoken old soldier, whose old fash
ioned courtesy and chivalrous attention
to Kate, seemed, in poor Brian's eyes,
the greatest charm he.poseessed.
Two days after this, .Brian's visit
terminated. As bullock would have
it, Kate had a headache ; the last day
- dm neither - appeared - at dinner n-or yet
in the. evening. Priam who bad made
up his mind to- speak out, was (lbw!)
an,liour before any one else next morn

breakfast was half over. So, as time
waits for no one, lie had to take his
departure minus the hoped-for` nter
views and There was nothing for it but.
to trust hie fate to the pest. So after,
reaching London he wrote a manly;l
straightforward, letter, telling Kate the
truth, and, asking her to be his wife.
In two days the reply catne, and
Brian's fate was sealed.
", I am deeply grieved," wrote Kate,
" more deeply than I can possibly tell
you. I thought you knew I was en-:
gaged fo General Amberly. John
should have told you, and I cannot un
dersta-nd how it wasyou never heard;
the fact is so universally known amongst
my friends, that I never doubted you
knew, and that will, I hope, enable you
to forgive.me if my conduct has helped
to rain you. I showed your letter to
the General,-and he bids me say that
he feels as 1 do, very, very sorry, and
that as your father's' friendoyou must
look noon him as a true friend."

Over and over-again Brian read_this

saw it all;' and there was not a shadow
of reproach .or of blaqie in Ids heart
against Kate; but the light seemed to
go out of his life, and for three.weeks_
Brian triedi.the old trick of driving
away his misery by a life of •riot. At
the end of three w&ks_ nature gave
way, and he was raving with brain fe-

hiekily, the - stop came - liefore he was

— ‘q'otimtiat leave London," ;aid the
doctor ; quiet is necessary— , -try a sea
voyage." • ,
"I mnst see her first," thought Brian,
" and then I don't care where I go ; I
shall see what I want to know in her
face."
So soon as he could move about,
Brian took the morning express, and
hiring a gig at First Cross Station,
drove over to "The Cedars." Mr. Mel
lish was out ; the mistress was with the
baby, but would be down directly. So
Brian went into the morning-room to
-wait, and presently, coming from the
garden, he saw Kate. She walked up
to the house rather slowly ; and hid
den, as he was, behind the curtain,
Brian could see -without being seen,
and his heart-greed skit, even while a
wild triumph seemed to fill his being;
for he saw what ho had hoped, even
while he dreaded, in Knee's face.
,She
stopped opposite the window, and
looked at the dog cart, as if uncertain
to whom it belonged, :or whether to go
on ; then *uddeely a flush came over
her, and she turned quickly down the
avenue. Brian 'had come out of his
hiding place, and leant against the
window; he 'was desperate just thou.
.When Kate wa s' ought of -sight,
came the remenibrance of where lid was,
and the certainty that he would meet
face .to face Mrs. Mellish. If the
thought of this interview had seemed
difficult when he, first at down in the

her 'dinner; deposited baby in that
functionary's arms, and having seen
that her hair was: straight; descended
to. speak with Brian, founde the bird
had flown. - ,
• What could he mean?" she said
afterwards to Kate. :And Kate, locat

However during the early hours of
the night, a light breeze sprang tip, so
that we made the land soon after mid
night, when we stood off and on till
daylight, and then sailed slowly into
the sheltered anchorage formed by-the
Oomorin Islands and the neighboring
mainland of Africa.
After coming to on anchor, all bands
went to breakfast, and when the crav

satisfied, I armed tho crew of my own
whale boat, and sot off for the shore on

'Holy sailor, Bill !' I heard the bow

- 'Tams me Wp the iron, boys,' said I,
interrupting the conversation, 'and 'if

' A whale boat is never without the

The next`rnoment I had darted my
iron into a back_as broad as that of a
whale calf, and was shouting-,
‘Starn all ! Stara all ! Back wa

AB the boat shot back and the line
rau out, the monster that I had har
pooned made desperate plunges to
reach us. As it rolled and tossed
about in its agony and surprise, I saw
enough of it to know that we had fixed
a hippotamus.

and vainly'trying to grasp the firmly

the wounded beast sank down in the
muddy water, here only a couple of
fathoms deep. .Then the air-bubbles
rising to the surface as-he breathed, to
gether with the long crimson track ai
he bled, showed us exactly the course
that he was taking, , and this was di ,
tact for his ,companions sporting to
gether in Shore.
Our prey went at a great speed, con
-aidering his ponderous build, and wo
were compelled to follow, or cut the
line—the kik thing I thought of, so,
in a very few moments. we found_our

of hippotami, whose huge, unshapely
heads were rising all around, whilst
the wicked glitter, of their savage look

on_us,-with-looks-of-wonder,-ftirrand

Just then, unable to stay, beneath
the surface, any longer; the wounded
monster rose to breathe, and then turn

The tough ash oars urged us clear
of the savage brute's charge, but then
