Georgia, look at mo," he said, Iaying one hand lightly on her shoulder. Sho stepped back, shook off the baud, and looked dofiautly up in his face. It was not exactly a handsomo fade, yob it was full of powor—full of calm, deep, invincible power—with keen, intense, placing eyes, whose steady gaze fon, could cahnly stand. Child as she was, the hitherto unconquered Georg sr felt that she stood in tho prosunco of a 1100118 Will that ..,,o,ounted and ovorteppoci sank deep among the many other rank things that had been allowed to take root in her heart, and which only the spirit of true religion could new over oradicato. Tho chill had grown up from infancy noglectod, hor high spirit unchecked, her fierce outbursts of temper unrebuked, allowed to have her own way in all things, ignorant of all religious training whatso- over. She had hoard the words God, heaven, and hells but they were only words to her, striking the oar, but con- veying uo meaning, and she bad never bent her childish knee in prayer. What wonder then that she grow up as wo find her, proud, passionate, sol• hon, obstinate, and vindictive. The norms of a really fico naturo had Troon born with hor, but they had boon neglect- ed and allowed to run to waste, while overy ovil passion lead been fostered and nurtured. Generous, frank and trathfol sho was And Georgia raised her head proudly, and her eye flashed, and her ehook kindled,. and her little brown band clenched, as her whole untamed nature rose in revolt at the idea of servitude. Some wild Indian or gipsy blood most 1 have been in Georgia's veins, for never did a lord of forest, rock, or river resolve to do battle to maintain his freedom with more fierco determination than did she at that moment. I'lor resolution was soon put to the test. Fre another hour lead passed Richmond Wildair returned with a light gig, and entered the htouso. Georgia saw him enter, but would not turn round, and Charley, getting up, bade Miss Jerusha a gay good -by, prom- 1 ising to come and see her again the first thing after his ankle got well. Then, going over to Georgia, be hold out his hand, saying: "Come, Georgia, I am going away. 1 Do bid me good -by."
