To a, girl more suspicious orless trust -
.fill. than Zeph. Gartington the actions of
her lover migh.t Ilene suggested many
erave doubts. They met always in se-
e
eret. He shunned her home and. her
father. It was understood-, she tholght
that, for a, while, and for afoanily rea-
sons," nobody should know what inti-
rreate.friends they had. become; all the
truth we. follow presently, and. when,
Dudley gave the signal to let in the
brightness of her life upon the misty land
wherein she stood. with him,. He did
not talk of the futurein this way ; ort the
contrary, he carefully avoidedtany allu-

self, and thought s e Seen the end very
dearly. She was . fraid of his family
a.nd his frieude ; s knew they would
look down upon her always, and think
the worst of tier that they could; a,ud
there was romeame in all this secrecy
and. mystery, and she, poor' child, tvas
very young. This man was her first
love, and he had oo . e from a world of

keep the secret for is sale ; he surely

Itnown it in an instant,as a Woman gen-
erally knows the true from the false in
matters of this kind. and the very
strength of hie love f,n7 her added to the
force of the delusion wh4ili deceivedher.
His fitslef sadness were even in his fa-
vor, for in her presence there game stern
feelings of reraorse,which only her smiles
eould ehase away. If he were dull, he
had been Worried by his faartily, she
