fallen over hum and dazzled and blind-
ed him; that he should have gone away,
urgent business calling hint, but that
he could not tear himself from her; it
would bo like tearing the living, breath -
ling heart from his bosom.
The charm of the spell, the scene,
and his magnetic presence were begin-
ning to tell upon her. Ile sat by her
side and talked to her of the witcheries
cf love until the girl fancied that she
was transported to some other sphere.
It was pleasant to hear how beautiful
she was, how completely she had con-
quered him, how strong were the gold-
en chains of love that bound him to
ter, how deeply and truly, ay, how
madly he loved her!
It was so pleasant that Corine aban-
doned herself to the witching charm,
and Gilbert Forrester told himself, as
he looked into her flushed face and
lowelit eyes, that the game was as good
as won.
Those words of love which he knew
how to murmur so ardently were stale
to him, for the reason that he had said
them so many times to so many fair
women, yet he owned to himself that
not one of them had been fairer or more
worth winning than the girl at his side
who was listening to them now.
She was so charming in her innocence
and shyness that he really preferred) her
to any ono ho had previously met. Yet
that fact would have smattered little
enough to him had she not been heiress
k one-half of the fortune of Lawyer
Barlow, who counted i►is wealth far in-
to the millions.
That was the charm which .riveted
hien to her side. Go where he would he
cfuld find no richer prize, he told him-
self. Ile did not doubt for a moment
but that he should soon tire of her, but
—well, he would not trouble himself
just now to look that far ahead.
Bending his head, he kissed the smell,
white hands that were still fluttering
like frightened birds in his masterful
grasp.
"if you do not like me you can bid
me depart," he murmured; "but if you
will learn to love me, Corine, you can
slake this world a heaven to ane, and 1
promise to make it a paradise for you."
He threw his arra around her with a
caressing gesture—the same arm that
had held her so passionately during
that never -to -be -forgotten waltz. Was It
any wonder that he captured the citadel
of her young heart, then and there; car-
ried her love by storm, and that wh•.n
he plended with her snow to fell him
whether she cared for hfin nr not, sweet
little Corine uttered a faint, bashful
"Yes," atter much coaxing?
"Now thnt you have said ihat you re-
turn my affection, nothing In this

cried. "If you love you must he wed-
ded. They will try to part us, I do not
doubt, but we must he so clever as to

"That would mean a refusal on the

Ile laughed a rich, deep, musical
laugh, saying: "For once in her life Miss
Uneven was In error; but, to tell the
exact situation: \Vhen scarcely a mile
away, the horse cast a shoe; that set-
tled the trip for the day, for there is no
ane hereabouts to mend such catas-
trophes, as they call them„ on short no-
tice; this being one of the many diffi-
culties those who live out in the coun-
try, as it were, meet with. Well, to
make a long story short, I turned the
animal out Into the fields whence they
look hint at my request, and 1 repaired
to this spot. Can you guess what for,
Miss Corina?" and the dark, mesmerio
eyes were looking down into the girl's
temid blue ones, his strong, white fingers
closing tightly over the little fluttering
palm which he seemed in no hurry to
relinquish.
"1 have not the remotest Idea," fal-
l( red Corine,
"Lel me tell you," he muttered soft-
ly; "1 heard you say a week ago that
you were to come the following \Vei-
n(sdny to sketch. 1 remembered the date
and when I found my plans for going to
Ashton materially changed, 1 repaired
here without loss of time, and lot I am
di ably rewarded. You have come, and
you have come alone."
How was innocent little Corine to even
dream that the story of the lost horse-
shoe—as, indeed of the package In the
express office at Ashton was pure fic-
tien--a story concocted by his own clev-
er fancy, and the servant was well paid
to tell it on the first occasion which
should present itself when Miss Warren
was about and could !tear it.
The servant was a dollar richer by the
bansaction, so the man never troubled
himself as to what Mr. Forrester's ob-
ject was.
"I was praying that 1 could see you
alone, Canine," he murmured, drawing
hei to a sent on a mossy, fallen log and
throwing himself down in the long grass

_ft you, and I was beginning to despair of
ever finding opportunity to whisper it all
into your ears. But, first of all, tell ane;
how did you manage to get away from
y(ur cousin? 1 marvel so that she Is
not lied to your apron strings."
Corine looked at hist with amazed
eye; and a puzzled expression on her
face, frorn which he made the correct
guess that the artless girl had not
dreamed, up to the present moment,
that her cousin was always with her
through deliberate design, not from the 1
Intense pleasure derived from (her com-
1'nnionshlp; and very adroitly he con -
%eyed this impression to Corine, who
at first scouted the very idea of such a
stale of affairs.
Gilbert Forrester was persistent in

"I want you to think it over quite
carefully, Corine," tie sald. "Have you

ntnntent of each other's society alone
shmce the memorable morning when 1
taught you to waltz. and at the same
tinge taught myself something else,
which 1 will disclose to you ere we
part to -day?"
11 was guile true; she was beginning
to see the matter as he pointed it out
to her, and her fair face flushed, and
Icars of mortification, which she was
leo proud to shed, forced their way
through ttie long, curling, golden lashes
and stood out like glittering diamonds
upon them.
Ile reached forth suddenly and took
the little while hands, that were lying
idly in her lap, in his strong clasp•
whispering so low that she had to bend
marer to hhn instictively to catch what
he was saying:
"Let me tell you the meaning of this

Her fnre flushed, the hands he held
Trembled, and Ito could her heart beat-

unfortunately, %cry much of a stranger
to him, and to make the mutter worse
her tattler had formed a dislike to Gil-
bert ever since that accident to Gordon

Mr. Forrester was In no way account-

"if I could but talk the metier over

just what to do."
"1'or have forgotten that she is our
worst enemy, Corine," he said reproach -
tidily. "She would like nothing better
than to go with the story to your fa-
ther—"
Al that Instant there flashed across his
fertile brain a wny In sow eeeds of die -

he hastened to put it Into execution el
once.
°1 yin going to confide something else'

110 could see that Corine believed his
statement, and a smile of triumph crept
up under his curling mustache as Ile
thought what an utssophisticated little
goose lite girl really was.
"You can see by what 1 explained to
you that the safest, suit in fact, the only
way, is to be married in secret—to elope
and %vlthut tiny loss of limo—if

Ile drew the picture of this romantic
affair with such brilliant word -coloring,
interseprsed with the sweetest of poetic
fancies, that it was little wonder that

ried away by his eloquence and tender
pleading, and he soon had her consent
that it should be as he desired.
This point gained, Gilbert Forrester
soon had it arranged that Corine should
steal quickly I c
. in the house, robe
herself In her prettiest white dress—tak-
ing caro to cover her garments well
with her long gray silk riding cont—
end after gathering together all her
jewels—and, indeed, the fancily dia-
monds, for no Barlow had ever yet been
wedded without them—meet him in an
hour's time at the farthest end of the
Trine, which was concealed from the
Louse by the lindens from which the
old hall look its name.
"1 will be there with a closed car-
riage, my darling," he said, "and from
the moment you enter it your sweet life
shall be such an enchanted one that any
princess in the land alight envy you."
Before he would let her go he strained
her to his heart, covering her blushing
face, her hands and her golden hair
with passionate kisses, declaring that
if she had not consented to fly with hien
he would have ended his worthless life
then and there at her feel, his only wish
being that her dear face should be the
last sight his dying eyes should rest up-
on while this world, with its unsatisfied
longings, faded from his vision.
At that sante moment, impelled by
some force which she slid not seers able
tc control, Alice Warren had arisen
from her couch none the better, for the
ache in her head seemed to increase
Instead of diminish with the rest.
"1 will sit by the open window," she
said to herself; "lifter all, !hero is no-
thing like fresh air."
"For sortie moments she sat in the low
willow rocker enjoying the cool breeze,
laden with the scent of wild flowers
from the distant hill, which blew in fro:n
the open window.
"\Vhat a beautiful scene it Is," she
muttered. "I wonder if It is wrong to
wish that i might linger here forever.
Dear uncle has kept ane here since I
\CAS a Wile child," she mused. "Many
another would have sent me to a found-
ling asylum. What can i ever do to
repay hien for lits goodness to me all
these years?" and a voice seemed to
rise In her heart and gently whisper:
"Guard to the best of your ability the
pct of the household, the darling whom
he loves so well—little Conine—whom
this man whom he believes to he a for-
tune hunter, is angling for." Glancing
thoughtfully from the window at that
moment her eyes encountered a sight
that sent the headache from her with
lightning -like rapidity; it was no less a
sight than hehilding the horse on which
Mr. Forrester had ridden away an hour
ar so before, quietly grazing in the mea-
dow which adjoined the flower garden.
At first she quite thought that her
startled eyes had deceived her.
"That Is certainly Bonnybell," she ex -
defined, excitedly. "Where, then, is
Gilbert Forrester? Ile must havo re-
turned."
She wailed for no hat, led with Ml
the haste sire was capable of she flew
down to the meadow to assure herself
that she had made no mistake.
Yes, It was Bonnybell. Ascertaining
this, she made a hurried search through
'hi house and grounds for Mr. Forres-
ter. Not one of the servants had seen
the young gentleman.
"Could iI be that he has encountered
Corine, and is down by the brook with
her?"
Without en instant's delay she turned
her steps in that direction. taking it short
cut through the hay field instead of go-
ing around by the pleasant and longer
path shaded by the lindens.
And thus It was that Alice happened
to miss the object of her senreh. She
was just In time, however, to see Gil-
bert Forrester pick up hie straw het

While 1 do the cooking you shall make
her do her duty, and shall teach her

reward her and perhaps wo shall then
lave peace. 1f not, i shall put her in a
convent.
