under the shelter ofthe•cairn when

voices of the rest of the party float•
ing back to then,
'Do you not think we are dread—
ful chatterers, we Norwegians°
said Sigrid.
'I think you are., delightful,' said
Cecil simply.
Something in her manner touched
and pleased Sigrit:. She had
grown to like this quiet English
girl. They were silent for some
minutes, looking over that wonder-
ful expanse of blue fjords and hoary
mountains, flecked here and there
on their sombre heights by snow-
drifts. Far down below them a
rowboat could be seen on the water
looking scarcely bigger than the
head of a pin.
Knut suggested before long that
if they were to be home in time for
supper it might be best to start at
once, and the merry party broke up
into little groups. Herr Feick was
deep in conversation with Mr !Hor-
gan, Cyril and Florence as usual
kept to themselves, Knut piloted
the American lady in advance of
the others, while Roy Boniface
joined his sister and Sigrid, pausing
on the way for a little snowballing
in a great snow drift just below the
summit. Little Swanhild hesitated
for a moment, longing to walk with
Blanche, for whom she hard formed
the sort of adoring attachment with
which children of her age often hon-
er some grown lip girl; but she was
laughingly carried off by some good
natured friends from Bergen, who
divined her intentions, and once
more Frithiof and Blanche were
left alone.
'And you must really go on
Monday?' asked Frithiof, with a
sigh.
'Well,' she said, glancing up at
him quickly, 'I have been very
troublesome to you. I'm sure—al-
ways needing help in climbing!
You will be glad to get rid of me,
though you would be too polite to
tell me s0.'
'How can you say such things'!'
he exclaimed, and again something
in•his manner alarmed her a little.
'You know—you must know what
these days have been to me.'
The lovely color flooded her
checks, and she spoke almost at
random., __ ___
'After all, I believe I should do
better if I trusted to my alpenstock!'
And laughingly shebegan to spring
down the rough descent, a little
proud of het" own grace and agility,
and a little glad to baffle and tease
him for a few minutes.
— 'TaTce—oareT Fake ca"rel' - cried.
Frithiof, hurrying after her. Then,
with a stifled c: y, he sprang forward
to rescue her, for the alpenstock
had slipped on a stone, and she
was rolling do wn the steep incline.
Even in the terrible moment itself
he had time to think of two dis-
tinct dangers—she might strike
her head against one of the bould-
ers, or, worse thought still, might
be unchecked, and fall over that
side of Munkeggen which was al-
most precipitous. How he man-
aged it he never realized, but love
seemed to lend him wings, and the
next thing he knew was that he was
kneeling on the grass only two or
three feet from the sheer cliff like
side with Blanche in his arms.
'Are you hurt?' he questioned
breathlessly.
'No,' she replied, trembling with
excitement. 'Not hurt at all, only
shaken and startled.'
He -lifted her a little farther
from the edge. For a minute she
lay passively, then she looked up
into his eyes.
'How strong you are,' she said,
'and how cleverly you caught,me!
Yet now that it is over, you look
quite haggard and white. I am
really not hurt at all. It punished
me well for thinking I could get on
without you. You see I couldn't !'
and a lovely, tender smile dawned
in her eyes.
She sat up nd took off her hat,
smoothing brick her disordered
bair. A sort of terror seized
Frithiof that in another minute she'
would propose going on, -and, urged
by his • fear, he spoke rapidly and
impetuously.
'If only I might always serve
you!' he cried. 'Oh, Blanche, I
love you! I love you! Will you
not trust yourself to me?'
Blanche had received already
,several offers of marriager.they had
been couched hi much better terms,
but they had lacked the passionate
ardor of Frithiof's manner. All in
a moment she was conquered; she
could not even make a feint of re-

stole into her manner towards him
A soxt of tender reverence, She no

their talks together in those long
summer days became less full of
' mirth and laughter, but more earn

C.'eoil paw al I this, and she breath
ed mere freely. 'Certainly she
loves him,' was her reflection.
,Sigrid, too, no^longer doubted,
indeed, B3anohe had altogether won
her heart, and somehow, whenever
,they were together, the talk always
drifted round to Frithiof a past, or
Frithiof's future, or Frithiofs opin-
ions. Sbe was very: happy about
it, for she felt sure that Blanche
would be a charming sister-in-law,
and Jove and hope seemed to have
developed Frithiof in a wonderful
way; he had suddenly grown manly
and considerate, nor did Sigrid feel,
ae she had feared, that his new love
interfered with his love for her.
They were bright days for every-
-one, those days 'at Balholm, with
their merry excursions to the
priest's garden and the firwoods, to
the., meter on the mountain side,
and to grand old Munkeggen, whose
.heights towered above the little
wooden hotel. Herr Feick, who
joined them towards the end of the
;Week, and who climbed Munkeggen
as energetically as any one, was well
pleased to see the turn affairs had
taken; and everyone was kind, and
discreetly left Frithiof and Blanche
'to themselves as they toiled up the
mountain side; indeed, Knut, the
`^'rt _ dlord's brother, who as usual

„up a stout old American lady, who

'Will there be church to morrow?'
asked Blanche, as they rested half

Norwegian service.'
'There will be service at some

'So! I thought an Englishman
-was nothing if not candid. But for
me I feel no shame. What more

moat of life? That is my religion.
,I bear that in England there isa
book to ask whether life is worth
living? For me I can't understand
that sort of thing. It is a question
that would never have occurred to
me. Only to live, is happiness
enough. Life is such a very good
thing. Do you not agree?'
'Sometimes,' she said rather
wistfully.
,.'Only sometimes? No, no, al -0
ways—to the last breath !' cried
Frithiof.
'You say that because. things are
as you like; because you are happy,'
dialanche.
'It is true, I am very happy,' he
replied. 'Who would not be happy
walking with you?'
. Something in his mariner fright-
ened her a little. She went on
breathlessly and ihcoherently:
'You wouldn't bay that life is a
very, good thing if yon were like
cutr pooh people in East London, for
instance.'
-'Indeed, no, he said gravely.
'That must be a great blot on Eng-
lish We. Here in Norway we have
no extremes. No one is veryp

'Perhaps that is why you are

At length the top of the moun-

'Doubt you!' he cried. 'Never!
I trust you before all the world;
and if you tell me to wait—why
then—I tnust obey.
'How I love you for saying that,'
cried Blanche, clinging to him.
`To think that you who are so
strong should say that to me! It
seems wonderful. But indeed, in-
deed, you need not doubt me. I
love you with my whole heart. I
love you as I never thought it pos-
sible to love.'
Frithiof again clasped ber in his
arms, and there came to his mind
the sweet words of Uhland—
"Gestorben war ich
Vor Liesbeswonn,
Begraben lag ich
In ihren Armen;
Erwecket ward ich
Von ihren Kussen,
Den Himmel sah ich
In linen Augen."
CHAPTER IV.
'We were beginning to think
some accident had happened to you,'
said Sigrid, who stood waiting at
the door of the hotel. .
"And so it did,' said Blanche
laughing. 'I think I should have
broken my neck if it hadn't been
for your brother. It was all the
fault of this treacherous alpenstock
which played me false.'
And then with a, sympathetic
little group of listeners, Blanche
gave a full account of her
escape.
'And you are really not
all? Not. too much shaken
to dance to night?'
'Not a bit,' said Blanhe merrily.
'And you promised to put on your
peasant cosume and show us the
spring dans, you know.'
`So I did. I must make haste
and dress then,' and Sigrid ran np
stairs, appearing again before long
in a simple made dark skirt, white
sleeves and chemisette, and red
bodice, ribhly embroidered in -gold.
Her beautiful hair was worn in two
long plaits down her back, and the
costume suited her to perfection.
There followed -a merry a'uWin
the dependence, where all meals
were served, then everyone adjourn-
ed -to -the- ed-to-.the..-hotelsa o ,.
chairs were hastily pushed aside,
and dancing began.
Herr Falck's eyes rested content-
edly on the all& tale figure in the
maize colored dress who so often
danced with. his son; and, indeed,
Blanche looked more lovely than,
ever that evening, for happiness
and excitement had brightened her
dark eyes, and deepened the glow
of color in her cheeks. The father
felt proud, too, of his children,
when in response to. the general
entreaty, Frithiof and Sigrid danc-
ed the spring dans together with
its graceful evolutions and quaint
gestures. Then nothing would do
but Frithiof must play to them on
the violin, after which Blanche
volunteered to teach every one Sir
Roger de Coverley, and old and
young joined merrily in the country
dance, and so the evening passed on
all to rapidly to its close. It was a
scene which somehow lived on in
Cecil's memory; the merry dancers,
the kindly landlord, Ole Kvikne
sitting near the door and watching
them, the expression of content vis-
ible in Herr Falck's face as he sat
beside him, the pretty faces and
picturesque attire of Sigrid and
Swanhild, the radiant beauty of
Blanche Morgan, the unclouded
happiness of Frithiof,
The evening had done her good;
its infornality,ita hearty unaffected
happiness and merriment made it a
strange contrast to any other dance
she could recollect; yet even here
there was a slight shadow. She
could not forget those words which
she had overheard on board the
steamer, could not get rid of the
feeling that some trouble hung over
the Feick family, and that hidden
away, even in .this Norwegian
paradise, there lurked somewhere
the inevitable serpent. Even as
she mused over it, Frithiof crossed
the room and made his bow before
her, and in another minute had
whirled her off. Happiness shone
in his eyes, lurked in the tones of
his voice, added fresh spirit to his
dancing; she thought she had never
before seen such an incarnation of
perfect content. They talked of
Norwegian -looks, and her inter est
in his country seemed to ploasehim.
'You can easily get English trans-
lations of our best novelists,' he
said. 'You should read Alexander
Kielland's books, and Bjornson's.
I have bad a poem of Bjornsen's
ringing all day in my heed; we will
make Sigrid say it to us, for I only
know the chorus.'

'I will always trust you,' she
faltered.
Then, as she felt his strong arm
roup i her and his kisses on her
cheek, there flashed through her
mind a description she bad once
of—
"a strong man from the North,
Light -looked, with eyes of dangerous
gray."
It was a love worth having, she
thought to'heredif; a love to be

only of Blanche's clear "Auf wrid•

sweet, dark eyes, which to the very
last dwelt on him.
'Well, that is over!' he said to
Sigrid, pulling himself together,
and stifling a sigh.
'Perhaps they will come here
next year,' suggested Sigrid con-
solingly.
'Perhaps I shall go to England
next autumn,' said Frithiof .with a
smile.
'So soon!' she exclaimed involun.
tarily.
He laughed, for the words were
such a curious contradiction to the
ones which lurked in his own mind.
'Oh! you call two months a short
time!' he exclaimed; 'and to me it
seems an eternity. You will have
to be very forbearing, for I warn
you such a waiting time is very
little to my taste-'
- 'Then why did you not speak
now, before she went away?'
'You wisest of advisers!' he said
with a smile, 'I did speak yester-
day,'
'Yesterday!' she cried eagerly.
'Yesterday, on Munkeggen?'
'Yes; and all that now remains
is to get Mr Morgan's consent to
our betrothal.'
"And the fox lay in wait by the birch -
tree's root
Beside the heather;
And the hare soon tumbled close to his
foot
Over the heather;
'Why, bless me! is that you, my dear!
However did you come dancing here
Over the heather?' "
'I had forgotten that it ended so
tragically,' said Frithiof with a
slight shrug of the shoulders.
' Well, never mind, it is only a poem;
let us leave melancholy to poets
and novelists, and enjoy real life.'
Just then a polka was struck up
and he hastily made his bow td\
Blanche.
'And yet one needs a touch of
tragedy in real life,' she observed,
'or it becomes so dreadfully prosaic.'
'Oh.' said Frithiof laughing as he
bore her off; 'then for Heaven's
sake let us be prosaic to the end of
the chapter.'
Cecil heard the words; they
seemed to her to fit it uncannily
with the words of the poem; she
could not have explained, and she
did not try to analyze, the little
thrill of pain that shot through her
heart at the idea. Neither could
she have justified to herself tile
shuddering repulsion she felt when
Cyril A7organ drew near, intercep-
ting ' her view of Frithiof and
Blanohe.
'May I have the pleasure of this
dance?' he said in his condescending
tone.
'Thank you, but I am so tired,'
she replied. 'Too tired for any
more to night.'
'Yes,' said Sigrid; glancing at
her. 'You look worn out, Mun-
keggen is a tiring climb. Let us
come up stairs; it- is high time"ti1
naughty little sister of mine thus in
bed.'
�Yne'reward of virtue,' said Cyri
Morgan, rejoining his cousin Flor-
ence. 'I have been polite to the
little bourgeoise and it has cost me
nothing:-It--is--always- beat
--in---a-
place like this to be on good terms
with every one. We shall never
be likely to come across these
people again, the acquaintance is
not likely to bore us.'
His words were perfectly true.
That curiously assorted gathering
of different nationalities would never
again meet, and yet those days of
close intimacy were destined to in-
fluence forever, either for good or
for evil, the lives of each one.
All through the Sunday Blanche
had kept her bed, for; though the
excitement had kept her up on the
previous night, sheinevitably suf-
fered from the effects of her fall.
It was not till the Monday morning
just before the arival of the steam-
er, that Frithiof could find the
opportunity for which he had im-
patiently waited. They walked
the little garden, ostensibly to
watch for the steamer from the
mound by the flagataff, but they
only lingered there for a minute,
glancing anxiously dewn the fjord
where in the distance could be
seen the unwelcome black speck.
On the farther side of the mound,
down among the trees and bushes,
was a little sheltered seat. It was
there they spent their last moments
there that Blanche listened to his
eager words of love, there that she
er at the
'pitcher's Castor's,.
bade him wait till O t b ,
same time giving him such hope
and encouragement as must surely
have satisfied the most exigeant
lover.
All too soon the bustle of depar-
ture reached them, and the steam
whistle—most hateful and discor-
dant of sounds—rang and resound-
ed among the mountains.
'I must go,' she exclaimed, 'or
they will be coming to look for me. I D H. PORTER, GENERAL AUCTION -

Then, presently, as they walked
