His first Move was to Mr. Beauleigh, 'to tell him of his decision. On being asked why he must so suddenly leave Hon.

Carstares told him that he was by profession a highwayman, and watched him bridle angrily. Before so agreeable and so smiling, Mr. Beau- leigh now 'became frigidly polite. He quite understood Mr. Caries position, and -er--yes, he honored him for the course on. which he 'had 'decided. But Mr. Beauleigh was very, very cold.

She had im- agined that he would spend all June with them -Circumstances, he regret:' ter, willed Other -wise.

Mr. Bettison then launched forth into anecdotes of his own tour, and seeing that his friend was entirely en- grossed with Miss Diana and her silks O'Hara felt 'it incumbent on him to draw 'the enemy's fire, and, taking his own departure, to bear the squire off with him.

His shoulder, having mended up to .a cer- tain point, refused quite to heal, and exertion brought the pain back very swiftly. §o his time was for the most Part spent with Mistress Di out of .doors, helping her with her gardening and 'her chickens -for Diana was an enthusiastic poultry farmer on a small scale -and ministering to her various pets. If' Fido had, a splinter in his paw, it was to Mr. Carr that he was taken; if Nellie, the Spaniel, caught a live rabbit, Mr. Carr would assur- edly know what to do with it, and, the same with all the other animals. The young pair grew closer and clos- er together, while Miss Betty and O'Hara Watched from afar, the form- er filled with pride of her darling, and satisfaction, and the latter with ap prehension. O'Hara knew that his friend was falling Unconsciously in love, and he feared the time when John should realize it.
