"1 thought I saw a face looking in-over the cur tain: How - very ridiculous! Edward has made me quite nervous." And Alice, as if spurning such weakness, began to work, and hummed a tune to beguile the time till her father's return; but ever and anon her eyes glanced to the half curtained window, where, if Any face were now peering in, it must have belonged to that highly privilegediefitlemon, the-man in the moon, who was certainly casting very bright and familiar glances upon Alice at the moment. Thus re-as sured, she was resolved to prove to- herself, by going and looking out of the window, that she hadreonquered her apprehensions—when, most mistakably, a foie again raised itself above the edge of the curtain.

Scandalous tales, like mairoonts, spring up in a night, and hare as many gatherers in the morn ing. This poor Alice was about to experience. Hoverer, in the meantime, her chief anxiety was about her father's delayed return. She!resolved not to mention the visit of the young officer eith er to her brother or fatheiL4he former, she was sure, would resent it by MOMe imprudent word or act; and the latter, from his naturally suspicious disposition, it would be diffieult to eonvince of .her attire innocence in the Sutter.

With this new and reproaehful feeling toward a patent, Alice raised her head from the table where it had been bowed down in sorrow, sad as if tried aad-eoirrieted on the spot, beheld her father standing gating at her.
