"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. I
feel somewhat to blame, for Helen, I am
.not one bit in love with him. 1 told him so,
and he said he knew it."
." My dear child, you do not know
whether you are or not 1 Clifford Marsden
in a elan who might teach any woman to
love hmi ; and why should he not win you?
He shows that he is sincerely, disinterested-
ly attached to you. I must say I am en-
tirely on his side," •
"Are you ?" said Nora, dreamily, "1
suppose so." She sighed,
Ite a marriage that would have given
your father the keenest pleaeure." Nora
was silent "Did you then rejece him ?"
asked Mrs L'Estrange.
"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. I must get light and free-
dom, or I should beat myself to pieces
against my prison bars 1 You are ever so
much braver and nobler."
"You have never oome in contact with a
real necessity, Nora. You oan nob conceive
how inexorably submission is forced upon
one sometimes."
There was a short pause.
"I should be glad, I confess," ,reeumed
Mrs. L'Estrange "to see you well 1And hap-
pily married. You would, I am sure, be
always a kind sister to my poor little Bea ;
as to myself, it is not impossible that I may
—" she stopped.
"Certainly not; why should you not ?"
put in Nora, eagerly. "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. Now
I have kept you too long, perhaps your
dress is damp, and you know you must not
be imprudent."
" I know it, but I have been under oover
allday."y."

up her cloak and was leaving the

It'd you answer Lady Dorrington'e letter ?"
" Yes, at once, and begged her to let me

Mrs. IlEstrange was fascinated by the
idea of Nora's marriage with Marsden. She
had always liked him, and, living out of the
world, had never heard the various reports
reepeoting his tvild extravagance, his gener-
ally reckless life. Even if she had, ahe

"Good -Bye ---God Bless You.

I like the Anglo-Saxon speech

It takes a hold and se ms to reach

That some folk deem it rude, lknow,

Before all else I choose it.
I don't object th It men should air

Into the porches of the ears
It steals with subtle unction,
And in your heart of hearts appears
To wc.:k its greatest 'unction ;
And all day long with 1i -tatting song
It lingers to caress you—

The love she oeuld not tell me;
A love eternal as the skies
Whatever fate betel me,
She put her arms around my neck
And soothed the pain of leaving,
And though her heart was like to br ak,
She spoke no word of grieving;
She let no tear bedim her eye.
For fear that might distress me,
But ki•sing me she said g0 mi -bye,
And asked our God to bless me.
