You have a man's straightforward, frank instinct, Grey; and this is cowardly, paltry, as I said before. I will speak of it again. To-night is all that is left to me." He seated her upon the beech-trunk.

Go up to-night, so that you can see him first thing in the morning. You can stop the night at the Savoy. I've sent Webster to look out a train." "There's a splendid train in about an hour. I'll take that." "It's giving you a lot of trouble," said Mr. Bennett with belated consideration. "Oh no!" said Billie. "I'm only too glad to be able to do something for you, father dear.

I was going up to the house, but I'll go home and keep that music in my ears. If they had known, they wouldn't have spared you from the hotel music to-night." "Please say nothing about it that is all I ask," she said, as she took Graydon's arm. "Yes, Madge," he began, quietly, "you sung well. You had the rudiments of a fine voice years ago. In gaining strength you have also won the power to sing."

"No, sir; he is in Baltimore, but will be back to-night." "What has Miss Newton been doing since her return to Washington?" "Nothing of a suspicious character. I hear that she is going to Mrs. Arnold's ball to-night." "Well, we will put an end to her masterly inactivity." Lloyd chuckled so vindictively that Symonds glanced at him in surprise. "You seem to hate Miss Newton, Captain?" "Hate?

"I need no patience," answered my lord Duke with noble warmth, "to aid me to listen to the kinsman I have loved from childhood when he speaks of his happiness with the fairest woman in the world. Having seen her to-night, I do not wonder she is called so by her worshippers." "The fairest and the noblest," said my Lord.

Sometimes when he leaned against her and her voice grew sweet and low he forgot he was a man and a shepherd. To-night this did not happen, although the air was sweet with roses, and the stars were large and bright. Marcus had shown his mother the green marvel and told her how the Lady of the Spring had brought it out to him from her secret recesses.

Irons knocked at his door, and with the eagerness of a messenger of news, opened it without awaiting his answer. 'Oh, captain, jewel, do you know what? There's poor Miss Lily Walsingham; and what do you think but she's dead the poor little thing; gone to-night, Sir not half an hour ago.

Well, you see, she got rational in the morning, and, thinking it a chance, I 'plied a heap of kindness to her, and got her to tell all she knew of herself. She went on to tell where she lived-I followed your directions in questioning her-at the time you noted down. She described the house exactly. I have been to it to-night; knew it at a sight, from her description.

"Hello! seems to me you're in a big hurry to-night," laughed Tom, when he saw the other slip out of the house and come down the path to meet him; "what's all the rush about, Carl?" "Why, you see I knew we meant to drop in at Dock Phillips' place, and we wouldn't want to be too late at the meeting if we happened to be held up there," was the explanation Carl gave.

Speaking at this point for myself, I would rather see my son so trusted at such an hour by such a woman than I would see him the Chancellor of Her Majesty's Exchequer, or the Governor of the Bank of England. And so to-night would you. "So stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved." Paul.
