The rvsolt wa ft totl mvuUkm of feel ing towards Mr. MatUaoa almost as complete as tbat towards his daughter. It was tbe veaing before Whit-Sun-dar, tbe time about six. Heaaiker, who bad been out riding, went to tbe drawing-room, not expecting to find any one there, for Lily had driven into town to make some parccsses, and be hardly fancied she could bare returned yet. He was mistaken, however, for she was wmted before tbe firs and in so deep a reverie that be had to apeak to her before she became aware of his Your thoughts seem to be pleasant ones. Miss Mauland, if one may jndge from the expreawm of yur face, be said, as be took a seat near ber. She started violently and a hot color stole iato ber cheeks. Henniker wondered why she should blush so much at each apparently Innocent words. It was but momentary, however, and when the flush died away it seemed to leave her face paler tbaa usual Thought! at Whitsuntide ought to he pte asset.

There was something in tbe tone in which she paid this something half sad and reproachful thai caused Henaiker to lose his head. "There to one remembrance tbat will always be inexpressibiy dear to me," he said, in a low roiee. The moment be had spoken he felt tbat be had betrayed himself.

He would go away, but before he went be would explain mat ters to ber. Tbe walked alone ia silence for some distance. At length Henniker said, with a slight effort: 'I am sorry, Miss Maitland, that I should still stay to offend you by my presence. Believe me, I would willingly have gone away last e entng could 1 have done so indeed, it to misery for me now to remain here. But. ns Mr. Maitland expressly askod me for WhitSunday, it seemed rude to run away on the very eve of it: and indevd I could think of no excuse tbat would justly such a course without introducing your name inta tbe nutter.

"I should like, if ran will bear w.th me. to sav a word in answer to vour charge of tost ; night. I will speak frankly to yon. Miss IMnitlaad. I did come down to Man chester with the views you describe, aad I nas an ignorant man in doing so far more ignorant tbaa tbe very people whom rdosptoed. I did not think your father well educated or well bred; but I see now how wrong I was to judge a man by a few external characteristics. for I have discovered tbat he a true nobility of disposition which L with my ama!l narrow mind. ought to Mask I am a'l the batter for having known your father.

I did so with a purpose I came to marry you." To marry me!" she exclaimed, startlad out of her silence by surprise. "Yes, to marry you."But you bad never saen me." "I know that; but I had heard of you. I knew that yoawre wealthy, or ratber that vour father was. I was poor and unfortunate ruin was storing me in the face. I determined to to Man chester, and, if possible, to marry yon. to relieve myself from my debts. But before I bad been twenty-four hours ia the house circumtAncns altered my case.

More than once 1 determined to run sway to leave you to get back to London, and, beginning a new and better life, to face ray ruin like a man; hut tbe sight of yonr face chained me to tbe spot.
