"Yes," again said Maud; and then, with
sudden courage, she asked "ave you
known Laura long? -all the time she has
been away ? "
"-Very nearly, I think" answered Mr.
Glynford, slanting, and looking at Laura.
“ We became friends vrtry quickly ;did we
not, Miss Keane?"
" Yes," answered Laura, softly; and her
head fell lonr, and as- the fire -light glanced
on her fair features, Mr. Glynford .saw
that she was blushing deeply.
Ile remained about an hour, and before
lie left told the girls that he was going to
remain all night at Seaton -by -the -Sea,
" I shall see you in the morning, I hope,"
he said, rather significantly, -to Laura.
“ May I ask at whattime you usually walk?"
" Oh, any tirne," said Laura; -an -again
sheiblushed.
" Anytime is.no tithe," said Mr. Glynford,
' -Suppose, therefore, you tell .me
at what time you will appear to -morrow

"Perhaps you would like to see the
sands ?" -said Laura, in her pretty, modest
way. "If -you will go down on- the sands

A beautiful sight' this.; but 'the girl hurri-
ed on, scarcely noticing it, for, in the
distance, she saw a solitary figure, which
her beating heart seemed to -tell her was
Mr. Glynford.
The solitary figure was standing close to
the sea, apparently ivatching the waves
break one after another at his feet.
It was Mr. Glynford, Laura was sure ;
though he was in reality too far off for her
to recognize him.
But, as she stood a moment hesitating,
the solitary figure looked around, and then
began walking rapidly towards her, and,
four or five minutes later, Laura, and Mr.
Glynford had met.
They were mutually embarrassed.
Willjarn Glynferd liked Laura too much
to feel quite at his ease with her under the
circums tancesand Laura naturally felt very
nervous. . . .
"I did not know, whether fto Call for you
or not," began William Wynford; "-but I
thought, perhaps, that as Mrs. .Keane . is
ill—"
" Manonoa is better to -day," said Laura
DA Mr. Glynford hesitated. ' ,
“ I am glad of that" he answered gravely;
and kindly, looking with a certain amount
of tender pity at the fair girl before him.
-For - he had heard all about the terrible
family misfortune attached to this young
girl's name.

Laura blushed still more deeply, and
hesitated.
She knew what was the poor child's
dream; what 'WES her passionate hope.
She desired to be ramous; wouldliot accept
the common lot a her sisterhood) and live
and die as do most of women.
The restless spirit in the stunted frame
aspired to take its place among the great
ones of the earth, and was ready to enter
the arena, even before she hadtried her
strength.
"She writes," began Laura,-" spends all
her time in writing; and, of course, is very
anxious to havc. her works pablished.
Would you be so aery kind, Mr. Glynford
as to read over some of her little pieces
and if you should think that they are good
for anything—"
paused.
Mr. Glynford smiled kindly as Laura
"01 course,I will gladly dothis," he said
" though I ani not rnuch of a judge. But if,
Miss !Pfaude will entrust some of her
writings to me, I will read them, and I
know a publisher in town that I think I
could manage to make arrangements with
about having thenapublished.."
Oh, how good You are! " said Laura.
And the girl's voiee faltered and broke,
and her teats were ready to flow.
" If you knew,'',she coutintied, "all the
joy that you are giving her, an the joy you
are affording !fl- -"
