waa going to leave England.
" f knew tt before," said Amy. •' Howard

" Yes ;he is splendid- So says Howard,

Arthur bit his hps.

'• But indeed it is true, Amy. I have on

The next day a splendid carnage, drawn
by superb horses, drew Roberto and Amy to
Rothweli, a distance of five miles. Arthur
followed abtvriv *n horseback. Passing by
the pmd h- saw a green and white scarf
that Amy had-dropped the day previous.
He put it m his b>som and ntde on tv Roth

The word* contained more of regret at hi*
departure than any he bid hefir l her utter ;
but even they were too mid fur hi* purpose.
They reached the >ld nek tree ; Amy paus

" G<ad bye, Amy; think of your old play

tin May sunshine.
Arthur walked rapidlv homeward. He

in E'tgian I l-r a rime, eager as he VM to see

" 'Ti* good to bs marry sod wis# ;
'Til good to bs honest and tra* ;
'Tw good to bs off with the old lovs,
Bafois you art on with th* new.''
Amj wandered ab >ut atmmg the trees till
night fall. The little maiden of a month ago
wa* a haughty woman to-day. Arthur wax
very proud; *<> was she. She asked her
self the question, why, it Arthur really loved
her he did not tell his iove now that he was
going away. She could not aaliafy herself
on this point. He might be jea'oua, and. if
so, why had she never discovered it. "He
doe not, he, never did fore me," she Mid to
herself, and yet her heart told her that her
words were untrue.
She reached home at last. Roberto had
sent her an exquisite antique vase that he
had brought from the East. She foil to mus
ing over it, wondering if he intended to trav
el agam ; she had heard hia express a d e
sire to do so at some future time. If he
moat, would be take his bride with him, if
be married 7 She thought w hat a fins thing
it to be able to call those woods
and streams at Bretnel her own ; to be the
mistress of the old castle ; to .wander

he had given his consent if bts daughter's

Amy glanced at her soiled dress, and leav
ing a kiss on her father's cheek, she went to
her dressing room. Two dresses lay side by
side—s beautiful ro*e-colpred robe, and a
White India muslin. Bbe took up the latter.
IT I am to sacrifice love to ambition, White is
most fitting," she thought, hslf aloud. "If I
knew—if! only knew that he—tlut Arthur
loves me, I should hesitate even now." A
tiny case lay before her, xnd she look it up.
It was the face of a boy ofc" sixteen, and the
latfghing eyes looked into hers, the handsome
lipe smiled upon her; she made a move
ment to throw it from her, and yet she grasp
*d it. " I cast him from ma and rejected his
love; without words, but be knew it."—
She thought how happy she was on the day
that Arthur gave her that picture, three

Raising her bead from the picture she saw
the reflection of herself in the glass. Shu
was surpneed at the be*u<ifsl face before

flu-bed with a rich rose color, and the defi
ant expression ah* assumed as she raiacd her
hes 1 was becoming to her faee, she fhought.
" H* was too proud," she said, " and yet—
and \et- -"
She thought of the diamonds that would
one lay gleam in her hair, the silky brown
hair that she knew to be very beautiful, id
the rbe* of velvet that she had seen other*
wear, and "he to k up the white dress ami
commenced her toilet. Before she bad flu
ihed the color had gone from her cheek and
the brilliancy from her eyes. Her face wore
a look of pain, and she knew that ehe must
not meet R >bert<-'s searching eye until she
was calmer.
She kneeled bv the open window, hoping
tlat the warm ffouth wind would give btfok
th* bhiua to her obeeK, and fell into a reve
ry, from which ahe was aroused by a rain
drop that foil upon her cheek. A beefy
shower had gathered, end the rain was in
creasing She c .old not go to the garden,
sad she was about to ring and request Ro
berto to wait her in the library, when the
post-hoy galloped up to the duor. She Res
expecting a letter from her cousin Agnes,
she thought a perusal of the usually well
filled pages, brimming over with fun, would
restore her cheerfulness. She rang the hell.

wait a few moments for me in the library."
The letter was brought. It bore a foreign
post-mark The sight of the well- tetnember
ed hand writing brought the coteted color
td her cheek. Breaking the seal she read
the following lines, traced by an unsteady
band.
