feeling like a man whose dreams haw
come true, but after a fashion altege-
tiler strange and inexplicable.
A. governess for a wife ? Well, Brie,
Temple was a lady in manners nod
education; of her parents and connec
tions he knew nothing. It was strange
that he had never noticed till that
morning what, beautiful eyes she had.
and with just tie tinge iu them that ho
most admired. Without being beauti-
ful, she was indubitably niee-looking,
with one of those delicate oval faces
which, unfortunately for us, are oftener
to be seen depicted ou canvass thau
met with in the flesh. Where had his
eyee been all the time?
He got out into the woods, and wan-
dered about all day by himself. The
thought of making iIisa Temple his
wife was anything but displeasing to
him. His heart warmed towards the
.irl already. Three mouths had passed
*ince she filet came to Hinchcliffe.
How blind he must be not to have seen
lour ago what it treasure lay close to
his hand ! And Emtny, too : would it
not be better that site should have
some one bound to liar by closer ties
than those of a governess ; some one
who would care for her, and look after
her interests as well, or nearly as well,
as her own mother could have done ?
But through theeissue of all his mus•
ings ran a dark thread of wonder, al-.
most of dread, at finding how swiftly
one portion at least of the weird spirit7
prediction had been fulfilled. Of a
snrety, the rest would accomplish itself
She was trembling by this time, as

I call it.'
Gently Annette withdrew Gewain's
aim from iound her waist. Then she
imprinted one passionate kiss on his
hand and rose to her feet. Her fano
was colorless. Gawain gazed at her
eith wondering eyes.
Yon have been the victim of a vile
fraud, Gawain Leslie,' she said. ' You
have been the tool of a man without
princiele or honor. He whu calls him-
self Dr. Popjoy is my father, Aurelius
Temple.'
' Your father, Annette !'
He broke my mother'e heart, be
spout her fortune and his owo. Then
he turned leeturer and spiritualist, and
because I would not become what be
called a " medium"—in other words a
confederate in his frauds—he oast Inc

day to this. Once every three months
I write to inform him whore I am.
Even in the seclusion . of Hinchcliffe I
had heard sotnething of the wonders'
