(Continued .001:0 last week) , t CHAPTER XII. Markham did saunter down the long drawing -room, he .even paused near Hope's ottomah to exchange a few words with a ptle-faced, limp -looking girl. In 'doing this he stood so close to Hope thet her black net dress must have touched him, but he did not speak to her nor turn in her direction. Presently he - strolled into the conservatory with the pale girl 'to recite that odious sonnet of his about the moon," whispered . Hope to herself. She felt decidedly. cross, and she went to bed in a bad tem- , per. Katie could not make out what had happened to her friend. Katie's whin- ing had beereone long delight. Raley had most mercifully kept out of her path, and the possible lover seemed al- ready to loom in the distance, in the person of Gus Chatterton, who was good-looking, emptitheaded, but fairly ' amiable and fairly well off. Katie dreamt golden • dreams while Hope tossed from side to side of her pillow. What; did that man mean? Why did his fabe worry her? Why did his stupid,rude_words stick in her braia? Never in the whole course a her life be- fore had any man made eelen the meet transient impression on her. She was accustomed to attentive wey8 and pretty sheeches from the youths i of Downton. Same she went to Landon she' had been decidedly removed from the sphere of agreeable and chivalrous youth. Now she hied returned to it, For a brieftfort- ' night she was baok in the old life, and ithe expected maters to go on as they , had always done; the youths still to be chivalrous and agreeable, she receiving their attentions as a ihatter of -course, but always with well-bred indifference. On the threshold, however, of her life at Beeches, a totally new experience came to her. An ugly man was specially - commended to her notice. She was told that he was fascinating, that no woman could resist him. He began by being rude to her; he was rude in •anion, he was even ruder in speech. How could anybody -tolerate him? And yet, how his voice thrilled, sending a sense of• pain, while it angered her, as he spoke of the face that haunted* him. She had not been nice about that fece. A good deal of his talk was doubtless banter, but he was in earnest when he of the fast, which hers resembled. • He did not admire her, of course—who wanted him to admire her?—Wt she irritated. him because of a resemblance. Hope was not in the least vain. She was unaffected, unconscious of any per- sonal charms ; hers was a sweet,healthy generous nature. Never before in her whole life had ahe been oppressed with this sense of irritation,whieti noav almoet increased to a morbid --curiositee She * rose softly- fronr- her midnight couch, closed the door which had been stand- ing open 'between her room and Katie's, lit the wax candles on- the. dressing table, and gazed anxiously at her own pale reflectiontie the glass. She was very pale now, and her light hair was dishevelled. Her eyes had dark ehadowe under them, her lips at the moment were more fretfufi than arched with expectancy and delight. The sniall face did net please its owner. She got into bed feeling crosser than ever. "I'll think no more of that intalei•- aible personage with his whims and hauntingt," she said to herself. " Why, I really don't know myself—to lie-stivake , over such a trifle. Am I Hope Karron, • -or another ?" At last she did fall asleep, but Mark ham's song, " Lechaber no more," came into her dreams. She was present at that passiitnate farewell; she yeas crying to the singer to stop, to rend her heart no more; and she spoke to him and cried to him, and entreated him, he,urned !ir ' and looked at her, and his ug face greyr beautiful, and his voice elted away into the tenderest love-liong— " And I williove thee still, my dear, Till all the streams run dry; 1 Till all the streams run dry, my dear, And the rocks melt with the sin; I will love thee still, my dear,' . Till all the world is done." i She awoke with a headache; her dream discomposed herevenmore than the sore indignant thoughts which pre- ceded it. The next day it was arranged that the 1 ladies of the party should ride to a cer- , tain-gleniabout ten miles away to meet the sportsmen and take them lunch. The Chattertons all rode well, and Hope in her Downton days had learnt to ride on a shaggy pony, and had many times had a mt,unt from her richer friends. She was scarcely a praetisedeaut she was a very intrepid horsewoman. Katie declared that she would not even mount a donkey; one or two other girls of the party were equally timid; they were accordingly distributed among the matrons, who drove off to the rendez- • vous in a couple of landaus,and Hope, Maud and Bee Caatterton were quickly mounted and prepared to follow. "You are sure you are not afraid, Miss Karron ?" said Maud. "For if yA are," she added, "I don't in the least mind exchanging horses with you. _ Statelyis such a gentle darling, that even a girl who was not much accustom- ed to horses night feel quite comfortable on -his back." , " I'm quite comfortable as I am," re- plied Hope, leughitig. Then seeing that the two girls smiled and exchanged glauoes—" What's the matter ?" she added. "le this horse particularly vi. thous, or do I sit him iihsuch a manner' that you conclude beforehand that I'm an arrant coward ?" Not a bit of it," said Maud. "Any one can see that you know how- to ride, Mies Karron. But the fact is you are on Roasiter's back. He half -killed you once already.—I did not -know," she added, turning to Bee, "that Rossiter was to be brought out to -day. He is not quite certain,particularly for a lady:" "I'm not afraid," said Hope, coloring. "Not that I wish to ride the animal." "Then dcachange, dear—do. Stately is a delicious horse, and I can ride any- thing. I'm half my time on horsebaek. ' Hope was half inclined to comply; not that she was afraid, but she did no - want to put herself ander any compli- ment o Markham. " e can exchange in a minute," said Maud. , But Bee who since the night before bad -never felt thoroughly cordial With Hope, called out now in a somewhat Woomommishissamswellitamma THE HURON EXPOSITOR. _,Atir,wirsysmoomorort"*E ---eiesesesereereeetiereee.;•e• -----sesseesesess spiteful voles— "I think you are over - cautious, Mandie ; Mist, Herron looks perfectly comfortable on Rassiter,and I don't Sup- pose, all things considered, she'd like to own she was afraid of him: Anyhow, we have no time to change now. The carriages" are out of sight as it is." "I'm all right," said Hope. She whipped up her splendid hay, and im- mediately found herself in the position of fleader of the little party. it was true she was not afraid, but 'she knew enough about horsemanship - quickly to perceive that Rossiter was her master—that he would not absolute tly respond to her touch, nor obey '11 light, firm curb. This knowledge was not reassuring; she was not frightened, but she was annoyed. The horse was cantering along gaily; a little too . fast, for Hope began to grow breathless. Her companigns called out to her to wait for them, but she knew she could not. The longer she rode on .Ittnisiter's back, the more certain horse and rider were that the key of the position remained in the horse's keeping. There was no particular danger, how- ever. Hope had a good seat, and unless Rossiter was frightened or startled in any way, a catastrophe was scarcely to be feared. CHAPTER XIII. The carriages had gone by smother d-oad, and Hope and Roesiter were after all the first of the party from Beeches to arrive at the rendezvous. The sports- men were all standing about when Ros- siter galloped lightly into their. midet, went straight to Markham, and thruat his noise into his hand. "Good gracioue, Miss Karron!" • Hope was quite pale, and for a mo- ment she felt too breathless to articu- late. ." I did not know Rossiter was to be brought out to -day-- he's much too fresh for a lady to ride. What a gallop you have bad.! May I help you to dis- mount?" Scarcely touching the hand which she proffered to her. Hope sprang lightly ho the ground. At another tine -she would have owed the truth. She was a per- fectly frank girl, and not a' particle of shame would have occurred to her in owning that Rossiter was beyond her control. Now, howeveaher tattle was tied. It was odious of the horse to walk.up to Markham just as if she led him there I But no, -the man could not ite conceited enough to imagine that. Rossiter was still rubbing his nose against his master's handx,and shoulder. "I trust you ;did not find him too much for you, '118 said, looking anxious- ly at the still breathless girl." "Not at all. Well, perhaps, he was a little fresh." "But you weren't afraid ?" "Afraid ! No, I don't fear horses. There's Mr. Grey; I'll go and speak to She moved away, inana;ing her habit gracefully. In such a dress she looked to the best advantage. The color in her cheeks, and a certain wilful light in her eyes, added a new piquancy to her always piquant face. The other girls came up, eager and laughing; the landaus with, their loads arrived. "Come andt help me get thel lunch out of the hampers," said Cecil -to Hope. • As they unpacked a savory pie togeth- er, Cecil said suddenly— " I am surprised and amazed—Mark- ham accuses you ol want of sympether." Hope nearly flung her delicate pie on the grass. Oh, Cecil! I don't care what he, thinks of me. Do You know,he 'doesn't suit me a bit." "I'm surprised ! A right good fel- low doesn't suit you then, Hope ! Why, he's the most honorable, the most gen. erous—Oh ! good gracious, whachave I said ?" "Only, that if he's the model mane he's not agreeable to me„' said Hope. "Well, I repeat, I'm sorry. You are prejudiced. I praised him too much. He likes you ; he told me so last night. He said you had the courage of your opinions—that you were no milk.and. water miss." "I should thi k not, indeed. I'm awfully obliged o him ! Cecil, I had a I otter this morning from Jo." Cecil raised his .face eagerly. Hope had effectually and intentionally.turned the subject. "They all talk of coming back in May," she said. " "Jocelyn is in the highest spirits. She says that Mrs. Seaton will , get - he presented. She evidently thinks a great deal iof Jocelyn and Jocelyn seems thoroughly happy with her." 1 "You willafe a good deal w,ith them when they come beak ?" said Grey. " I ? No, that I certainly won't. Of course 1 shall see Jo, darling pet, but I'm not going to Mrs. Seaton' s house. She knows that." Why doyoali her Mrs. Seaton, Hope? Is not eyour aunt ?" "She is Joeely s aunt, but not mine. She is nothing to me. I can't enter into this story to -clay, Cecil. It distresses me." "You don't look well," said Cecil tenderly. "I am sure that ride was too much for you. Come and sit here, in this sheltered corner, on the rugs. What a wonderful day it is or the end of January! qiiiite a spring air, quite warm. I'll bring you something to eat, and then you'llIr better.' You know I never want to orry you,' Hope." ; • "You never do worry me, Cecil. At least, scarcely ever," she added with a smile. "Perhaps I'm not quite well to day. I had a bad night. It is very nice to see an old friend again like you, Cecil." Grey supplied Hope with dainty mor- sels, stood by her while she ate, and chatted of his own desires, which bad 'once [sore risen high at the prospect of Jocelyn'e return. certainly mean , to try for liter again," he said. "I am amazed she is not married before this. Perhaps she did care for me a little bit." After lunch, as there was to be no more sport that day,the girls and young men° started off for rambles together. They -went in diffgrent directions, Cecil and Hope still keeping side by side. Presentiy Hope complained of fatigue, and asked to be allowed to rest onl a sunny bank by the Wayside. "You must not wait with me, Cecil," she said. "There are the, Chatterton girls up yonder without Mite gentleman. Twon't have you stay—you shan't. I shall just rest for five minutia, and then go back to Mrs. Chatterten and the other ladies until we are ready to start home.' • "Come on,you two," called out Mind Chatterton from -he top of a pictur- esque ascent a short distance sway. 6` Do go, Cecil—I really wish it,' said Hope. And hoeing that,she did so,- and that she was in perfectly iafe quarters, within might of the matrons of the party, he left her somewhat uriwilingly. A moment later a gay shrill voice sounded in his ear as Roley, very red in the'face, and somewhat dirty in appear- ance owing to several fills, rushed to her 'side. $ is u I've got you all. tO myself.' Won't Phil be in a state! Phil thinks you,a, the ueen of Beau- :ty—he told me so last night." " Roley," said Hope, "I don't think you are atall improved. I had not the most remote idea, when we were in London together, that you could talk such absolute nonsense."I "Oh, bosh," said Raley; "a fellow mutt be carried away -now and then. Phil's in a great state aboueyou, Hope. He's nearly as bad as Grey and Mark- ham." " Roley, if you say another •w that kind to me, I shall walk awa leave you." ," Well, I won't then. Is it tru you were a,wfully frightened ?" " Hoty ? What ?" "Markham said so. Phil heard He said you were all shaking head to foot, so that it was greatest wonder you were hot k riding Rossiter. He said' you wer inhch of a coward to ride such a h and he'd take care you didn't have condole back.

The moment he was quite.ou sight, Hope rose, looked -quickly right and left, saw that she was q unobserved, and then walked dff in direction of the feral, where she kn the horses were•stabled.

Again she gave Rossiter a sharp litt touch of her riding -whip, 'and, with bound, the _animal flew down the roa and was out of sight. "Now, I call that a gal with spirit," exclaimed the groom Harvey to his com- panion, " But if she hasn't a firm seat, and a firm hand too, it's my belief as Roasiter will be too munch for her." Meanwhile, Hope, with tingling ears, flushed cheeks, and smarting eyes, was enjoying the delights of a swift passage ,through the air.' She had naturally high courage.

No, she would show this odious, this officious Personage that she, Hope Karron, was made of different mettle. What fun it would be to walk coolly into the draw- ing room . before dinner, and exp4ate on, her pleasant ride on Roseiter'81-#ack— not that ehe,,wanted to ride him again. She would take care not to put -herself finder &compliment to that meder—but oh, how iutalerable !—Mr. Markham. But for the present she must uphold her dignity. Yes, it would be very nice to talk about her delightful ride. But was it delightful! Rad a- • horse ever before taken any girl so quickly over the ground? Now he had broken into a canter. It hurt her to ride like this. She gasped. Rossi* must obey her. He should; she would show him that she was Mistress. Not a bit of it ;. Rossiter took not the slightest notice of her silken touch. He was just as anxious as she was to get back to Beeches, but he Intended to get there his "amu gait;" He knew a short cut which led down a steep undven road, very different from the smooth, well - kept king's highway. Hope felt really frightened when she found herself flying down this steep in- cline. She had to acknowledge that she could make nothing of Rossiter; that she must trust herself altogether to his 'tender mercies. She had to confetti that her ride was not pleasant, that she had clones rash, atrna-d thing. The uneven road was very steep, and Rossiter rushed quickly along. to4he present he was not actually run- ning away; he was simply enjoying him- self in his own fashimethinking nothing at all of the light weight on his back. . just then, just at the most dan- gerous curve of the steep 'downward path, an ill-starred half -fed donkey put his head out of the hedge and brayed. It was all up with Rossiter;then. His gallop increased in velocity—it seemed to Hope he no longer ran, he fiew.1 She shut her eyes; the end must come, she said to herself.
