She did not appear to comprehend my Words, as she asked, in a tone of troubled wonder. "What do you mean?" I repaned my question in a yet more trembling tone.

But when she looked down at smilingly, and saw me in tears. look of concern came across countenance. What an exceptional opportunity for what I had to say! llut I could not begin it; I must collect my thoughtklook at my words before I spoke them. She was working hard at her paint- ing, as usual. I sat, down upon a footstool at her feet, and gazed fur- tively up at her face. Never. I1 thought, had she looked so lovely as she did that morning, in the soft. hazy autumn sunlight.

She dropped one of her brushes, and as I gave it to her I held her hand for a moment fast locked in mine. As I have said before, our intercourse was free and unrestrained as that of broâ€" ther and sister. and the action exâ€" cited no surprise in her. "We are all alone." she said,- as we went into the parlor. “Mary” (the servant.)

The sight of her sweet face, smiling upon me, cowed m'y bravery. “Have 1 come here to look upon her for the last, time: to bid adieu to that smile forever?” I asked myself; and my heart Sank, but it gave no response.
