After the °losing of the door Thorburn did not linger. He picked the way carefully back to the White Road, thinking, as he went, of the sweet candor of Sue and a the awful hubbub that would rage about him when the world knew, And there was something, too, for Sue to learn; but he had no misgiving about that, since he himself would light her to the knowledge. At half pest eight o'clock the, follow- ing morning Dlr. Thorburn's valet 'went into his master's room: Mr. Thorburn was asleep. He had slept so soundly that even the jingling bustle of an arri- val beaneat/a hie window had not dis- turbed hie dreams. The amplitude of the bed. in which he lay was out of all proportion to the needs of any human creature. Our ancestors, truly, loved. to rest and die benea,th heroic: canopies. The man awoke Mr. Thorburn, He sat up and stretched himself. "Draw the blind and open the win - slow," he said. "Ab, he went on when this was done; "what a morning, Hyde, and. what a sun!" " Yes, my lord." "Sir, sir 1 I am not my lord here. Must I tell you so for the hundredth timer "I beg your worship's pardon. But I cannot forget your rank, sir it comes hard to me."

The leg went inek agsixi ani Mr. Therburn's face manifeetea lively an- noyame. " Danin Nr.

"Tell him Pei deal, do you heir, or likely to die, or seek. Say any- thing and hiiI him g031 -day." "Heel never believe it," Hyde said "He'd laugh at me. You know hie way, sir." "And a devilish impertinent way it is. What right has the fellow to follow me? 11 he won't go, order setae bretikfast for two and sag ru join him in half an hour. Mr. Luttrell and I, Hyde, will have a talk together." When Mr. Thorburn came down he found Mr. Luttrell sitting- on th edge of the table, playing e ith his s‘eord- hilt. A grey cat watched hen from the window seat. "This visit is un.expected," Mr. Thor - bum said after they had greeted one another. " And you would. doubtlees add, un- warranted, my lord." " That depeads upon the reason for " The reason is to beg you to think twice before it is too late," "iIy dear Luttrell, I have thought fifty time and the way is clear before "Have you considered your family?" .1. answer with another question; bas my family ever considered. me ?."

Our breakfast waits: before we eat let us understand each other." Luttrell slipped from the table and stood with folded arms against the wall. The Earl of Templemore re- ! carded him with amused interest: Come, he said speak out, cousin', 4-esh • "Your lordship is good semi, ee, fee ',Jr -1i, alit:1d incth at we )'1tt-touch of the eee. same blood. es..

Luttrell nodded ace quiescence. Templemore smiled and went on: "I have a habit, as you know, of wandering into strange places and stranger company. There are certain &octet:we which presume to sympathize with the bloody-minded villains who are murdering Frenchmen, and women too, in the na,me of France. To one of these societies I had an easy entrance, of coulee under the name ot Thorburn. And there one evening I found. old Ful- ler and his daughter -he nodding with wine and treason, she alternately frightened and ashamed. Why, the foolish fellow took her there I don't pretend. to guess. I often went to these meetings, not to agree with the senti- ments expressed there, but to express my own sentiments to the jewel set In that showy and harmless fuatian." " Did you not consider it your duty," asked Luttrell, "to your order and the kpoossing (4o?h,a, ve these revoluntiona,ries sup- " Why suppress flies ?

I cannot press you to remain, because, as you see, my occupation gives me companionship enough. My respects to my family they are reelly too solicitous. When I return to town you shall bear of me." Luttrell being tlaus happily dismissed, the Earl of Templemore spent an hour in contemplative idleness. But as he was pleasandy enraged in dwelling upon the last turn of fortune, all Churelisee was being made free of the secret of his name; for the girl who waited on him had not thought it un- manearly to listen at the door and. she fied from that post with the name of the Earl of Templemore filling her pretty mouth and silly head. She blurted it out to every soul she saw, Lind be neon the truth had reached a'f as-ksullerh Luneb Ln g carried there by Fuller's head shepherd, who had call- ei,j, at the Dolphin. fer his morning ale.

Templemore descended into the plain and made his way without a singie nth:judgment cif the route to the gate of Fuller's farm. Ile waited there for a moment hoping to see Sue's face, or at letst the flutter of her gown. 13ut he saw nothing and heard only the bleating, and slir of innumerable sheep. He lifted the latch, entered and knock- ed briskly at the. door. He was again disappointed, for he , had expected Sue to open to him. A ' red-cheeket country maid, in a blush of excitement, testerecl. him, svith many bobbing curtseys, into a parlor on the ; right. There she left him with a final , bob. ! Templemore looked. about him with reverence. This was the room which so often held Sue. Indeed, some of • her work was stretched upon an em- broidery frame, and near it was a . low eltaan-Sue's rhair. He eat down in it, and felt himself instantly exalted. The room was heavily furnished with old mahogany, almost black. Upon a sideboard shone a few sliver cups and tankards; above it hung two crossed , swords. Thewindietelelge was closely pecked with flowers, which served to , give sweetness and an intangible air of purity to the place. The grate was fire- . less, filled with dry rushes, which rustled to the tune of the wind M the ohimney. Templemore had hardly . completed his survey of the room when the • door opened and John Fuller stood before him. He bowed stiffly the earl sweet him a profound rever- ecc ll'ictu do us too mush honor, my lord," Fuller said, not moving from where he stood.

'There is blood in this family; he means to fight me." He added aloud: "Now that we understand each other, Me. Fuller, will you be good enough to ask yoer sister to have a word with me?" "1 understand nothing of the whole matter, but that I svill have nothing to do with it.

Within an hoer the boy returned. panting, with the anssver,written on a. corner torn from the earl's note; it consisted of the one word, Yes. To say that Terapaernore was hope- ful would be te say too little; he was confident. He never reokoned with the poosibility of failure.; he meant to have Sue at any hazard.

THE MOUTH. The mouth, as the organ through which we speak, is one which naturally attracts a great araount of attention, and marks a face of beauty or the re- verse. The expression of the mouth varies very much according to temper- ament, and. it may be largely modified by the line of thought and mental oc- cupation that we fotllow out. It is easy to distinguish a coarse or sensual mouth, with its think and, slightly hanging bower hp; a bad-tempered mouth, svbich is drawn together and has fine lines running vertically up from the upper hp, the rat -trap mouth with its thin lips pressed. against ea,oh other; and the supercilious mouth, and if women would only reflect how much their mental attitude alters their per- sonal appearance in this respect, they would. very possibly develop pleasan- ter traits of character. Thin lips may be made &little better shaped, and im- proved. in colter, if vebitee by gentle massage with the finger tips, or by nib- bling at the'm with the teeth. One should be careful, bowever, in thus treating them with the teeth, not to bleak th'e skin. " • IMPARTIAL. Tilers's one tbeng 1 admire about the weather men, after ell.
