"What a pretty view that is of the church tower," she exclaimed. "I should like to sketch it, such a 1 f,£uay gray little place it is! But really I was quite surprised last Sunday to find it a regular resort of fashion; the toilets were amazing, quite a study; your mother says that the people come to sit from Greyshot, that they are attracted by the surpliced choir and the chan- ting. It seems so odd to think of things of that sort being novelties; you are dreadfully behind Bore in Mountshire." "No great 1cse perhaps in those matters," said Uor.ovan. "What a prosaic mind you leave!" said his pousin, lightly. "Anel by the bye, that reminds me, I meant to take you to task before. Last Sunday I looked round expecting to find you teedv to carry my pray- er -book, and behold' vuu were no- where to be seen. Your mother 'says you never to to church. How is that? It is really very shocking, liked the old days when we had just the parson and the clerk. Now they singsong all the things so, and I can't seem to pick myself up." Adele tried not to laugh, and asked the name of the clergyman. "Mr Goulding; be'a the white- haired one. You'd have thought he was too old to like such new ways, but 1 make no doubt he is led on by the curate, who is but young; and as to him, miss, he gets through the service so quick you wouldn't believe, but I never can hear a word when he reads cff the old fowl's back." Adele and Donovan burst out laughing, and no sense of the re- spect due to Mrs Doery could stop them. Dot, not understanding, looked perplexed till Adele explain- ed. "The read -desk in church, dear, the lecture, is like an eagle. Oh! Mrs D.ery, you mustn't mind our laughing, but really that is worthy of "Punch." Doery was, luckily, not all offend- ed.

His voice was grave and displeased as be replied, and had a strange ring of pain in it. "It is not a subject I care to dis- cuss, thank you," They walked on in silence, Dono- van, trying uneasily to understand his own feelings. Why did you not care to discuss this subject? Was it that his cousin's lightness jarred on him? was there some lat- ent sense of reverence in him - some yet slumbering faith faintly touched by her flippant tones? Or was it -could it be -that he, Dono- van Farrant, was ashamed of the views he held? ashamed of not being like the rest of the world? Adele knew, from the tone of the answer. which her question re- ceived, that she had made a mistake. Flippant, conventional, semi- relig- ious talk evidently grated somehow on her cousin's mind. She made haste to recover her place in his estimation by referring to the sub- , ject nearest his heart. "Shall we take these flowers to Dot She likes flowers in het room doesn't she Hie b:ow cleared instantly. "Yes, let us go. Dot is very fond of you, Cousin Adele; you have cheered her up wonderfully." Adela smiled ; her kindness to little Dot was the one fair bright spot in her life just then ; it was pleasant to dwell on one thing in which her motive waa really good, and she was too really kind to like to remember that she was acting as a decoy toward Donovan. Dot held out her hands eagerly for the flowers. "What beauties!" she cried. "I was afraid they were all over." Donovan took the blush rose and arranged it in her dress, there its soft colors helped to relieve the blackness. "You and Cousin Adele have had such a long talk," said Dot, watch- ing with interest while the flowers were arranged in her vase. "I saw you from my window. What were Children Cry for injustice was very irritating. In- justice was Donu -an's watchword, and this slight but aggravating specimen of it was a constant thorn in his side. Another vexing thing was Ellis Farrant's behavior to his mother. He used to perform all kinds of little services for her, waiting on her seduously on every possible oc- dicate to Donoxan : "This is That you ought to do:' Even had such attentions been possible to him, he would have been far too proud to take such a broad hint., and Ellis was probably aware of this, or he would not have risked giving the advice ; it was everything to him that Mrs Farrant should feel the great difference between his conduct and her son's. On the whole, there was some reason in Donovan's com- plaint that autumn -life had al ways seemed to hint hard and perplexing, and it grew more so. CHAPTER VII.

His companion, Mr Ward, was the Squire of Oakdene a short, broad, gray -whiskered country gentleman, somewhat bluff, but still good-natured enough in his way.

"You are the only good skater here," said Maggie, looking up ad- miringly at her instructor. "Where did you learn? And how can you manage to do all thuse wonderful figures?" "They are only learned by prac- tice," said Donovan. "I learned at school and at my old home near London. You tau do anything well if you give your whole will to it." "Can you?" said Maggie. "I can't. I expect I have had as many weeks of skating as you have had days. I conte from Canada, you know; but I shall never be ably to do these figures as you do. It was pleasant to be made niucb of and flattered; an entirely new experience to Donovan. He thought Maggie White the prettiest and pleasantest girl he had ever seen. They talked on naturally and easily and it was not surprising perhaps that Donovan was in no hurry to part with his new companion, or that he enjoyed skating rapidly up and down the lake, hang in hand with her, more than cutting figures by himself. Nor did it occur to Maggie that she was guilty of any great enormity in enjoying herself too. Once she said, in her pretty way: "I aur keeping you from doing what you like; please go away arid leave me. I am taking up all your time, and spoiling your skating." And Donovan, though he was no "lady's man," could answer very truthfully: "You are making we perfectly." Then they began to talk again of Canada, and she describe(} all its delights to him.

Mr Ward was quite right in sur- mising that his wife would be vex- ed when she heard of the invitation he had given. He tried hard to mention it casually when he got home, but there was an undisguis- able anxiety in his voice as he observed: "Oh! by the bye, my dear, I met young Farrant just now, and asked him to conte over for skat- ing to -morrow." Mrs Ward lookedup with as much annoyance as it was possible for a good, kind-hearted woman to show. "You asked Donovan to come here?" "Not to the house, pry dear, only to skate on tho lake. I really don't see how I could avoid it; he is a first-rate skater, and this is the only ice for miles round." "But only the other day, Edward, you said you wouldn't have him about with the boys on any account. I really think you night be more careful. It will be beginning an intimacy, and then, with such near neighbors, we shall find it impos- sible to break it off. It is just the most dangerous time, too, with ing! Why had not the girls been more careful? Why had she not sent down the servant to help them? Why did her husband stand there so carelessly, laughing and talking. Her greeting to Donovan was stiff and chill but he was much too happy to care; the day was glor- iously fine, the frosty air invigora- ting, Mr Ward and his daughters had been kind and friendly, Mag- gie White was bewitching, and for once in his life Donovan was per- fectly and healthily happy. He had been on the ice for some time, his usually pale, dark face was all aglow with the exercise, and his eyes sparkling with excitement; he certainly looked more provokingly handsome, and perhaps there was some cause for Mrs Ward'sanxiety. "How could you let him help the girl like that?" she said re- proachfully, as the skaters glided swiftly away. "I thought, Edward you told me he was a regular mis- anthrope." "Well, I don't see that he hes done much harm, my dear," said the squire. "Common courtesy would require him to help the la- dies, and I am glad to see him lose ;Pitcher's Castoria.
