Was it reproach? What ever it was it made made my heart beat quick. Before I had time to speak, I heard footsteps on the gravel bo- hind. She looked past me and cried: "Oh, you good Alfred, do come and fetch me into the house, I am so tired |" Then I saw Alfred Severn, who had just returned, take her on his arm, and go towards the house; she walking erect, her head thrown back, her hand clinging to his arm, be bending over her tenderly. She was laughing gaily, and even a snatch of a song came wafted on the the September air. I must say I felt ill at ease with myself and my surroundings all that day. We met at dinner, She was gay us a lark, her little face as red as a rose, her eyes shining like stars.-- Besides she was much more easy and intimate in her manner with Alfred than I bad ever seen her before; she joked and jested, mimicked one or two of our Acquaintances, was the life and soul of us all. After dinner she sang for us, her bird:like voive trilling and warbling deliciously.

So, just before I was married, I resolved to rua_down and bid them good byo atthe Elme; and 1 confess E wished my interview with Sophie all over. Yet Why? I had done nothing for which I onght to blush. I reasoned with myself, To my amazement, the gates were locked and the house shut up. Only an elderly woman, grim and sour to look upon, appeared at a side door in answer to my ringing of the bell. She told me: "The family;'as gone abroad" --to Paris or it might Germany. She wasn't used with foreign parts. The master's address was at the office. 1f I wanted it I could get it there. I explained to her how I had for- gotten some books and paper in my hurried departure some time ago; and with evident reluctance she ad- mitted me. Even the few days ne- glect and déertion had sadly alter od the beautiful lawn and terraces. [t was now mid autumn. An early frost had scorched and blackered the early partorres. Fallen leaves be strewed the unmown turf. The bright geraniums had been removed from the porch; and a long trailer covered with rosebuds frost:nipped before their time, swayed loosely in the treshning wind across the libraty window. A chill of sadness and desolation struck actress thy heart.-- My grim companion unlocked the door. I entered under protest as it seemed. A wamall douceur, however, improved the temper of thy cicerone, and I cross-questioned her to some effect. The Severn's departure had | been strangely sudden. Only al day's preparation had preceeded it. | They were, however; to spend the whole winter abroad.
