"Well; we can say no more at Pre -
.sent. 'I will go and engines my dress.
I trust yin) will be wise, and not
reject such an offer for a whim."
"I only want to do what is
right," cried Nora, standing up, sled
letting her clotted Minds fell to the
length of her urine. "1 do wish I
loved Clifford, as he deserves the to
love him; but -it is vers.- odd -1 don't
think 1 like hint as well es I did
yesterday, I used to be quite glad
to see hint -and now I rather
.dread his coming."
"That is enteral enough, Nora,
'There will be a little awkwardness
in meeting him at first. I do not
quite taxierstand your indifference to
.so very attractive men as Clifford
Marsden! Tell nit-eyou know I
would not intrielts on yetler cantle
elence; I only ask because you are
,dear to me as my own sister -have
„you any preference for some one else
to steel your heart?"
"Why! who has ever made love to
me?" cried Nora, indignantly, color-
ing crimson as she :spoke, "and aut
I the sort of girl to bestow my heart
,or fancy when neither are sought?"
"Pardon me," said Mrs. L'Estrange
:smiling, "the heart, even in the
:strongest -minded young 'Lunen, is
:strangely illogical and unaccotint-
.able."
"Well, I really ant not vom silly.
'Now I have kept you too long, per -
Imps your dress is chimp, and you
tknow you must not be imprudent."
"1 know it, but I have been under
'cover all day."
She took UD her cloak and was
'leaving the room, when Nora exclaim -
"How selfish I am! I quite for-
got to tell you I had n few lines
front Lady Dorrington, she says Mrs.
Ilutheen is seriously ill, with fever,
nervous fever, and they are quite un-
easy about her."
''Indeed! I am sorry, very eorry,
I never liked Mrs. Itutimen as well
AS you do, hut I think she looked
-dreadfully worried of late."
"Did you, do you think she was
very much taken with the squire?"
"Oh, I don't imagine she cares
seriously for any one, she likes the
most distinguished nine present,"
returned Mrs, L'Estrange.
"I should be so very eorry to in-
terfere with her. It must be dread-
ful to be cut out if you are really
fond of any Ofle."
"DO not distress yourself on that
:score; .1 fancy Mr. Marsden's flirt-
ation with Mrs. Huthven wus of the
V'3' lightest order. Did you ens-
wer Lady Dorrington's letter?"
"Yes, at once, and begged her to
let us know how the patient was
going on."
Mrs. L'Estrange was fascinated by
the idea of Nora's marriage with
Marsden. She had always liked hint,
and, living mit of the world, had
never heard the various reports re-
apecting his weld extravugance, his
generally reckless life. Even if she
had, she would, like a simple good
woman, have fully believed in the
power of a pure attachment to el-
owate and reform the most datertnin-
-ed rake. Besides, though truly and
warmly attached to her step -
.laughter, elm was keenly alive to the
fact that her own precious child was
etterly dependent on her helf-sister.
eielie never doubted that Nora, if
left to !secede would be both just
and generous, but if Nora married
before attaining bet' majority, Beat-
rice would be really dependent on
:some mere strangle, and men are so
strange and hard about money mat -
Jere. Then a humband's power and
influence are so great; the poor lone-
ly widow, though she blushed for
herself, earnestly hoped Nora would
not marry until she 03 twenty -oar.

was this that gave him more than
half his attraceion. Ile always con-
veyed the idea that he was really
glad to help any one. Ilis detest-
ation of everthing unpleasant or
painful gave him an air of kindness,
that impotted even on himself.

future was seenre, Rea wny ettould
she not? A better, or indeed a
happier, marseage could not be found.
Why Nora was not already is love
with her suitor, Mrs. L'Estrange
could not tineerstand, and set it
down to one of the inscrutable mys-
teries of a young undeveloped na-
ture.
Nora, too, was thoughtful, and
the evening pissed &meet in ellenee;
occasionally each spoke a few word,
and then fell into a lit of musing.
The spell, however, was broken by
the entrance of the servant with a
note for Mrs, L'Estrange.
'Whe messenger waits, 'tn."
"1 will ring in a minute or two,"
said Mrs. L'Estrange, opening the
envelope,
•'it is from Mr, Marsden, Nora,"
she exclaimed, "Ile witnts to see me
alone to -morrow morning."
"Indeed!"
"1 suppoce"-stniling-"he wants to
rcure my •vote and interest."
"They are hie already." A pause.
"What shall I say, Nora?"
"Whatever you chooete."
"When I shall set him."
She rose, went to the writine-
tabie, and penned a few lines, and
sent them to lietteden's messenger.
"I imagine that ?dr. Marsden wilt
not be easily turned from his pure
pose. And I hope, Nora, you wilt
not too thoughtlessly refuse se eine
care and disinterested a lover."
"Oh! I know all that can be urged
in his favor," said Nora rather im-
patiently; "and he is very nice -only
-I think I should like to be Nora

have seen so little, How could I
manage a great establishment like
levesleigh Homo!? 1 010 half afraid
of that awful housekeeper. And the
squire himself likes everything to be
so perfect -so elegant -he might re-
gret his own hat in wanting to
marry such a half -fledged creature as
I am,"
"My dear Nora! this humility is a
new development!"
"I know what I am fit for, and
am not humble, but I do not want
to attempt what is likely to be too
much for me. There, don't let us
talk about Clifford any more -at
least till you have seen him to -mor-
row."
**Promise me not to refuse him,
without due reflective."
"No. I am too undecided to do
that. But it is rather awful to
think thut, having once said 'yes,'
one can not unsay it."
Mrs. L'Estrange need 'scarcely
have recommended Nora to reflect on
Marsden's offer. She was haunted by
the recollection of his words, his
voice, his eyes. It is true that he
kept himself well in hand, and kept
back many a passionate expression
that meshed to his lips. Neverthe-
leen, he had impressed Nora very
deeply with the conviction that she
warm very essential to him. It rather
weighed her down with a vague sense
of alarm. What was she to do with
this tremendous gift of love? --so
strong that his voice trembled in
spite of his efforts to be steady,
when he described it, and his heart
throbbed fast and hard when he
pressed her hand for a moment
against it. Ought she to condemn
one who was so tenderly attached to
her to stiffer the pangs of diseppoint-
ment and rejection, because she had
a morbid fancy tor another who did
not care for her? And with the
thought came 0 suggestion that rent
thrills of pain quivering through her
veins, llad the 804115 words and
tones and looks been Winton's how
differently she would have responded!
Perhaps, by cultivating gratitude to
Marsden, and giving herself up to
his efforts to please and win her, she
would succeed in loving him; and
then she would make him happy and
be happy herself. What n solution
of all difficulties that would be! Per-
haps it would be the right thine to
do. Vohs hard it was to know what
Was right. Finally, the tears welled
up, as she thought with regretful
Compassion of the strong - emotion
Marsden had dieplayed-surely such

wished lie had not taken sash a

"I do not think Nora did. Indeed,

"Not against her will?"
"No; that would be too ungallant,"
returning to his usual light tone;
"but with her will."

tell her you will give her time to

"It is impossible to say; she is not
a commonplace girl."

"You have caught me tip too soon.

was impatient, hut not umeasy; he
did not doubt his Ultimate success,
and was not altogether displeased
• with Nora's hesitation. It was the
sense of difficulty which was her
crowning charm.
He had seen 141011y lovelier and more
fascinating. women; but none had ev-
er charmed and vanquished him as
this unworldly, natural young cous-

What fair round arms she had!
What a sweet mouth, half said, half
haughty! Would she ever press it :
fondly to his? What would he not

commit, to secure her for himself
safe away from every one? - And

Pith, how he wished she would die
and tithe hereelf out of his world,

as bad as it could be; perhaps hick
would still be on his side, for he had

'the meeting. under such trying cir-

Nora expected. She could not help
admiring Marsden's Net and cool
self-possession. If anything. he Was
more attenthe. to Mrs. L'Etitrango

A letter trom hint to Mrs. L'Es-
trange gave a greatly improved nee
count of Mrs. Itethven. She had
really taken that turn for tbe better
for which her attendants had so cog-
erly watched. Menden himself would
-come up by the eight trein, and see
them next day.
"Now be sure you receive him well.

ing, "I think you have tried him
enough."

to melte up niy mind on such a tre-

"Still, you can not keep Mr. Mars-

room.
During her brief absence some notes
and letters by the second post, were
brought up: an invitation or two, e.
hasty letter from Nore's (Iceman
friend respecting an engagement just
offered to her. and another letter
with It forefeet stamp for Mrs. L'Es-
trange-Nora felt ahnost sure it was
from Mark Winton.
While she looked, Mrs. L'Estrange
returned. Nora took up the letter
and handed it to her.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, opening it
hastily and glancing through the con-
tents gravely. Then looking through
the window she exclaimed: 'WI* cab

Nora sprung up with a movement of
genuine pleneure.

gazed into her face With longing tend-

to read her thoughts.

your wife and to love you."
"Sweetest, kindest!" cried Mars-
den, his lace aglow with joy. "One

"I will not marry before the fif-

with decision,
"But, Nora, that is more than two

"Very little More than two."
"And why not before?"

"Your own mistress! Why, you

''That is a curious fancy," said
Nora, as she let him slip his onyx
seal -ring on her slender finger. "Your
best title is ntyfree consent."
''11. is fret'?'' he asked. "You don't
know how I have longed and SCheM-
ed for this moment! never felt
so doubtful of success before. I
never could make sure of you! Even
now, Nora, you do not love as I
want to be loved. 1 feel that keenly,
But 1 have your promise, and you
can iwt hold back your affection

MI' it as 1 do! You are the one
supreme good of life to me, and 1
have waited patiently."
"Not Very 1011g!" said Nora, who
was touched and moved by the in-
tense feeling in his voice. "Why,
Clifford, we enly met at Lady Dor-
rington's dance in June! At that
time I was a mere child!"
-Nearly six months ago! It is an

had been the penalty. Then I felt
I wtutted to curry you away from

"And why -why do you care for
me co much?" cried Nora uneasily;
his vehemence displeased her, she
scarce knew why.
"How don I tell?" he returned
more calmly-. "Some witchery I
could neither resist nor explain!"
There was a pause, and Nora went
