"Then you knew her before tonight. 1 thought so from your manner, What do you know about her?" Editha asked, greatly surprised. "1 carrot say that T had 110)1 honor" her farther returned, sarcastically. "1 00001' spoke with her until tonight, and 1 cannot say that 1 wish to extend the acquaintance.' "She is a very lovely, as well as a good, pure woman," Editha asserted; with flushing cheeks, and indignant with hint for speaking so slightingly of her n'1r t friend. er "Mr, her, Treesailia;' she added, "knows all about her, and he says 'that, excepting for ntistakeor two during, .the early part of her life, hen character is Obeys suspicion" "A mistake or two in one's early life, as you express it, often ruins one for all time," remarked fear. Dalton, dryly. Having proved the truth of that axiom to a curtain extent, he knew'whereof he spoke. "Then you would not be willing for me to regain with her under any circum- stances?"

But the future looked darker that ever to her, and her heart was coy sad and depressed. At five-o'clock the next morning Mi. Dalton cane to arouse her and her maid, and as soon as she wits dressed the sent her up at tempting little breakfast, with word to take plenty of time and eat all she could.

But magnificent loneliness it indeed was, for 111 his great house there was not a soul to whom he could go for ei- ther sympathy or cheer. He was surrounded on every hand by everything that almost unlimited wealth could buy; he po5sesesd one of the fin- est estates in England, and farms and forests in France, which, 110 yet, he had neer seen; he occupied a position second to none sale royalty; he had the finest horses and carriages m the county; eat - 1h and hounds of choicest breed; he had all this, and yet he was heart -sick with a bitterness that seemed unbearable.
