Knowing this' and with that wish to he alone which lovers seem always to have had from time immemorial—"their own sweet thoughts being dish sufficient for their delicate appetites"—Maud had ridden out on the heath and in the \tootle, to return weary of body an I :time weary of mind, a prey to all so:ts of vague fears and gloomy fancies. Yes! here was the letter she Was im- plored to read. The broken envelope was lying at her feet, the open letter in her hand and her eyes had alealdr scrntted the first lines when a tall figure, stepped silently out front 'that part of the room where the evening shadows were deepeste laid a hand softly, very softly; on Maud's shoulder.

"Who is that letter from?" illaud.raised her eyes at once to her aunt's face, and though her fare flush- ed from brow to cutin. replied at once. "From Cyril Ormsby." "May I read it?" There was a motile/Ws hesitation oe the part of Maud, but it lasted no longer a than a moment. "Yes." "Stay!" and Miss Fancourt lett hock the letter extended towards her with a touch of lice hand. "Before I do so, it is necessary that you should know why I am he • re—w 'hy I have been en •here for *the last two bouts sitting'in n thedark-u k • - 1eu's and waiting your return."
