1 Mr. Le Poer turned absolutely white

The only remarkable event of our
voyage was my sudden introduction by
Mr. Le Poer to a personage whom Iliad
not thought existed, "'My son, Miss
Pryor; my eldest and only eon, Lieut.
Augustus Le Poer."
I was very considerably sagresed, as

Our brief voyage ended. we reedited
Belfast and proceeded to Holerwood-a
small sea -bathing village a few miles
down the coast. To thisday 1 have
never found out why Mr. Le Doer took
the trouble to bring us all over the wa-
ter and settle us there; where, to all
intents and purposes, we might as even •
have been buried in the solitudes of the
Desert of Sahara. But perhaps that
was exactly what he wanted.
I think that never in her life, at least
singe childhood, could Zillah have been
so happya:, she was during the , first
week or tno of our sojourn at Holy-
wood. To we, who in my youth, when

but a cross governess. To please and
reassure her I said: ' "A% ell, never

pt't paradise. It will be quite a
treat."
"I dent think so, Miss Pryor. It's
all weeds and disorder, and you can't
endure that. And the ground is very
wet here and there. I tun sure you'll
not like it at all.
"Oh, but I will. if only to please you„
Zillah," said I, determined to be at
once firm and pncific; for I saw a trace
of her old suIlen look troubling my pu-
pil's face, as if she did not like her
haunts to be intruded upon even by me.
However, she made no more open op-
position, and we entered the grounds,
which were almost English in their as-
peet, except in ono thing—their entire
desolation. The house might not have
men inhabited, or the grounds culti-
vated, for twenty years. The rose -beds
grew wild—great patches of white clo-
ver overspread the lawn and flower-
' garden. and all the underwood was one
mass of tall fern.
I had not gone far in and out of the
tangled walks of the shrubbery when I
found that Zillah had slipped away. I
saw her at a distance standing under a
tall Portugal laurel, seemingly doing
nothing but meditate -a new occupa-
tion for her; so I left her to it, and pen-
etrated deeper into what my old French
governess would have called the tome.
My feet sunk deep in fern amid st which
I plunged, trying to gather a gi eat arm-
ful of that and of wild ilowers; for I
had, and have still the babyish propen-
sity of wishing to pluck everything I
see, and never can conquer the delight
1 feel in losing Myself in a, wildernese
of vegetatiOn. In that oblivion of
child -like content 1 was toppy—hap•
pier than I had been for a long tinw.
The ferns nearly hid rile, when I award

took for some harmless animal which
had disturbed. However, hares, foxeS,
or even squirrels do not usually give a
loud "Ahem!" in the perfectly hurnan
tone which followed. At Gist 1 had ter-
rors of some stray keeper, who might
possibly shoot nee for a rabbit or a
poacher, till 1 recollected tbat I was
not in England but in Ireland, where
unjust landlords are regarded as the
more convenient genie.
"Ahem!" reiterated the mysterious
voice --"ahem! Is it you, my angel?"
Never could any poor governess be
more thoroughly dumfoundedne
course theadjective was not meant for
me. Impossible; Still it was unpleas-
ant to come into such near contact with
;a case of philandering. Mere philan-
. (tering it must be, for this was no hon-
est village-tryste, the man's accent be-
ing retried andquite English. _Besides,
little as I knew of love -making, it
struck me that in any serious attach-
ment people would never address one
another by the silly title of "my angel."
It must be some idle flirtation going on
among the strolling visitants whom we
occasionally met on the beach, and who
had probably Wandered up through the
gate which led to these grounds.
To put an end to any more confiden-
tial disclosures from this unseen gen-
tleman, I likewise salt Ahem! ' as
loudly as I could, and immediately
called aloud for Zillah. Whereupon effect a t3ivarantees issued only by
