"It is," said Mrs. L'Estrange, and there was a paose, then Nora said suddenly: "Helen, ,Clifford Marsden called here to- day!" "Yes, He said something about coming last night." "But,1 Helen ! He—he—asked me to marry him ! I was so amazed 1" " Well, Nora, I arn surprised, too, though not so amazed as you are. I have seen that he was fond of you, but I did net think he would marry without money. How did you answer him, dear ?" I scarcely know, except that 1 certainly did not say yes.'" "It is curious," said Mrs. L'Estrange, as if to herself. "I never thought Clifford Mars- den would tie himself to any woman, unless for a large money bribe. He knows exaotly how you are situated, and I thinl the bet- ter of him ! He must love you veri much 1" " He aye he does, I believe e does 1" said Nor, sitting down on her footstool again and clasping her hands round her knee in a thotightful pose. In fact, I am half frightened at the idea of his caring so much about me, though that is weak and silly.

"He would not accept rejeetion," said Nora, with a grave smile. "He said I must hear him that I must marry him; he eeemed rather angry and excited, but we parted good friends. I promised to think of all he said,1 and epeak to you, who would be his friend, he was sure. 1 am astonished he should care for me so much! He has seen such quantities of charming, beautiful people—but he does ! Oh! Helen. He is wonderfully fond of me 1 I could hear it in his voice. I am very ungrateful. I wish he were not. I am afraid even if _1 were to marry him he would be disappointed to find I could not love him enough. It is—I mean it must be—so wretched not to keoeive as much as one gives." "My dear, you could not fail to love him heartily ! You are perfectly heart -whole, and yours is a kindly nature, not likely to harden itself against the' tenderness of a true lover." " No ; Perhaps not. I wish I did love him. How happy and light hearted I should bo! Now I am uncertain and miserable. I am so imPatient, Helen? I can: not rest if I am unhappy.

"You are young and fair enough to marry some good, delightful person." "My dear Nora !" interrupbingl in her , turn. What can have suggested so ab- surd an idea ? I was about bo tonch on a very different topic, but I will not now. Tell me, did Marsden may he would come again ?" " Yes—eo. I am nob euro what be said. But I think he will most probably." "Well We can say no more at present. I will go and change my;c1ress. 1 trust you will be wise, and not reject suoh an offer for a whim." "1 only want to do what is right," cried Nora, standing tip and letting her clasped hands fall tO the length of her arms. I do wish I loved Clifford, as he deservei me to love him ; hnt—it is very odd—I don't think I like him ai well as I did yesterday. I used to be quite pleased to see him—and now I rather dread his ooming." "That is natural enough, Nora. There will be a little awkwardness in meeting him at, first. I do not quite understand your in- difference to so very attractive a than as Clifford Marsden ! Tell Me—you know I would not intrude on your confidence; I only ask because you are dear to me as my own sister—have you any preferenoe for some one else to steal your heart ?" " Why! who has ever made love to me?" cried Nora, indignantly, coloring crimson as she epoke, and am 1 the sort of girl to bestow my heart or fancy when neither are sought?" "Pardon me," said Mrs. L'Estrange, smiling, "the heart, even the strongest minded young ladies, is strangely illogical and uneccountable." "Well, I reelly am not very silly.
