, 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

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

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

," Well, I won't then. Is it tru

" Hoty ? What ?"

exclaimed the groom Harvey to his com-
panion, " But if she hasn't a firm seat,

flushed cheeks, and smarting eyes, was
enjoying the delights of a swift passage

over the ground? Now he had broken
into a canter. It hurt her to ride like

which led down a steep undven road,
