' rife' heavy' depression which for
%name time had preyed upon hien.
And' so, in spite of the waiting, the
time slipped by quickly to Frithiof;
the mere thought of Blanche's love
kept him rapturously happy; and
at the pretty villa in Kalvedalen
there was much laughter and mirth,
and music and singing, — much
eager expectation and hope, and
inilch planning of a future life
which should be even more full and
:happy .
At length, when the Lafternoons
closed in early, and the long win—
ter was 'beginning to give signs of
• ito approach, Frithiof took leave of
home, and, on one. October
Saturday, started on his voyage to
England. It was, in a sense, the
great ;event of his life, and they all
instinctively knew that it was a
erisis,.,.,so that. Sigrid_ drew aside
little Swanhild Swanhild at the last, and left
the father and son to have their
parting words alone. -
'I look to you, Frithiof,' said the
father eagerly, 'I look to you to
carry out the Rims in which 1 my-

could wish to have lived. May

'Do you not let this- depression

said Frithiof. 'Why take such a

ness that he was actually on his
way to Blanche bat en the very
next day be might hope to see her
again,
Fortunately the Tuesday proved
to be a lovely, atilt autumn day.
He did not like to call upon Mr
Morgan till the afternoon, and, in•

ly find him at home earlier; so he
roamed about London, and looked
at his watch about four times an
hour, till at length the time came
Whop lie could call a hansom and
drive to Lancaster Gate.
There are some ' houses which
the moment you enter them suggest
to you the idea of money. The
Morgan's house was one of these;
everything was faultlessly arranged,
your feet sank into the softest of
carpets, you were served by the
most obsequious of servants, all
that was cheap or common or or-
dinary was banished from view,
and you felt that the chair you
sat on was a very superior chair;
that all the pictures and ornaments
were the yen,best that could be
bought,, and that ordinary people
who could not boast of a very.large
income were only admitted into this
aggressively superior dwelling on
sufferance. With all its grandeur,
it was not a house which tempted
you to break the tenth command-
ment; it inspired you with a kind
of wonder, and if the guests had
only spoken the thought which
most frequently occurred to them,
it would have been, "I wonder now
what be gave for this? It must
have cost a perfect fortune?"
As to Frithiof, when he was
shewn into the great empty draw-
ing room with its luxurious couch-
es and divans and its wonderful
collection of the very best upholst-
ery and the most telling works of
art, he felt as strongly as he felt in
the dirty streets of Hull, that he
was a stranger and a foreigner.
In the whole room there was no-
thing which suggested to him the
presence of Blanche;on the contrary,
there was everything which com-
bated the vision of those days at
Balholw and of their sweet freedom.
He felt stifled and involuntarily

the Steamer began to glide off, and
Frithiof, even in the midst of his
"bright expectations, felt a pang as
he wayed a farewell to those he

And Sigrid and Swanhild stood
axing their handkerchiefs till the
steamer could no longer be seen.
•'I ani a fool to mind going away!'
reflected Frithiof, 'In'three week's

Who knows, perhaps it will be to

And with that he began to pace
the deck, whistling, as he walked,

She stood up impulsively and drew
nearer to him. -
'Is there nothing I can do to make
up for my mistake ?' she said, lifting
pathetic eyes to his.
'Nothing,' he said bitterly.
'Oh, don't think badly of me for
it,' she pleaded. 'Don't hate me.'
'Hate you!' he exclaimed. 'It will
be the nurse of my life that I love
you—that you have made me love.'
He turned as though to go away.
'Don't go without saying good—

said more plainly than word8,'I do
not mind if you kiss me just once

He paused, ice one minute, fire

that his conscience was u -ging him
to go without delay.
Blanche watched him tremulously;
she drew yet nearer.

she said, with a pathetic little quiv-
er in her voice.
No,' he cried vehemently, yet
with a certain dignity in his man-
ner; 'no, we could not.'
Then, before Blanche could reg
cover enough from her sense of hum-
iliation at this rebuff to speak, he
howed to her and left the room.
