Under tela renewed impulse of loyalty
Graydon intercepted Miss Wildmero as
silo was going to her room, and said:
"Tho clouds in tho wast aro breasting
away,—they over do, you know, if one
has patioue0. We can still have ourdrive and enjoy it all the more from
hope defol'red."
"Fin so sorry," she began, in soma
embarrassment. "Of courso I couldn't
know last night that it would rain in thin
morning, and so promised Mr. Arnault
this afteruoon."
"It Booms as if it would aver bo hopo
deformed totoo, Miss Wildmere," ho said,
gravely.
"But, Graydon, you must sea howit
1s—"
"No, I don't poo, but I yield, ns
usual."
"I promise) you Sunday albe011o011 or
the first Moor day," sho exclaimed,
eagerly.
Very well," ho replied, Uri htouing,
"Ile(uember I shall be a Shylock with
this bond." Dot ho was irribatod, never-
theless, and wont out on the piazza to
try the soothing intlue10e of a cigar.
T110 skies cieat'Od rapidly. So (lid his

Niacdgo was sitting in her room 10
dreary apathy and spiritless reaction
from tho strain of tho morning, when
sho was aroused by a knock on her door.
"Madge," palled a voioo that sant 1110
blood to her face, "what say you to au.
other ride? I know the roads aro
muddy, but—"
But I'll go with you," sho cried,
"Why use advorsitivos in the satoo breath
with 'ride'? Tho mud's nothing. What
won't rub off can stay on. (How soon
shall I be ready?"
"That's a good live girl. In half an
hour."
When they were a mile or two away
Madge asked, as if with sudden com-
punction, "Graydon, are you euro you
woro disengaged ?"
IIo laughocl outright. "'That quost'iou
comes too Tato," he said.
She braced horsolf as if to receive 11
doadly blow, and was pale and rigid
with the effort as sho asked, with au air
of curiosity merely, "Aro you truly ca.
gaged to Miss Wilda -lore, Graydon ?"
"In one s0ne0 I am, Madge," be ro•
plied, gravely, "I have given hor n1,y
