During this cohversatlon Annie was In a reverie which it in no way touched. She was thinking all the time of her cousin George, and of the singular abruptness with which his love life had been cut short, and it was this train of thought which led her to say Impulsively: "Uncle, It is my desire to go to Philadelphia." The earl looked at her with increduWhat nonsense, Annie!" he lity. exclaimed. For you a journey to Philadelphia would be an arduous undertaking, and one without any reasonable motive. Do you call George Oh, indeed! motive? unreasonable an Washington I wish to see him." I wish the Journey were an easier one." To he sure, the roads and the cold will he a trial; hut then my uncle, you can give them to me, as God gives trials to hli beloved. He breaks them up into small portions, and puts a night's sleep between the portions. Can you not also do this?" You little Methodist!" answered the earl, with a tender gleam in his eyes. I see that I shall have to give you your own way. Will you go with us, George?" Yes; I desire to see Washington. I wish to see the greatest of Americans." This was the Initial conversation which, after some opposition, and a little temper from madame the countess, resulted in the Hyde family visiting Philadelphia. A handsome house, handsomely furnished, had' been found; and madame had brought with her the servants necessary to care for it, and for the familys comfort. In a week she bad come to the conclusion that Joris was disappointed; which indeed was very much the case. He could hear nothing of Cornelia. He had never once got a glimpse of her lovely countenance," and no 'scrutiny had revealed to him the place of her abode. A month passed In unfruitful searching misery, and Hyde was almost hopeless. The journey appeared to be altogether a failure; and he said to Annie, I am ashamed for my selfishness in permitting you to come here. I see that you have tired yourself to death for nothing at all." She gave her head a resolute little shake and answered, "Wait and see. Something is coming. Do you know that I am going to Mrs. Washingtons evening? I shall reception see the President. Cousin, you are to be my cavalier, if it please you, and my uncle and aunt will attend us. I am devotedly at your service, Annie; and I will at least point out to you some of the dazzling beauties of our court the splendid Mrs. Bingham, the Miss Allens and Miss Chews, and the brilliant Sally McKean. The next evening Joris had every reason to feel proud of his cousin. The touch of phantasy and flame in her nature illumined her face, and no one could look at her without feeling X 1 that a fervent ar.d transparent soul gazed from her eyes, so lambent with was walking about the rooms talking to the ladles present For a few minutes he remained in conversation with the party, then he went forward, and with his beautiful Hyde turning charge, met Cornelia face to face. They .looked at each other as two disembodied souls might meet and look after death reproaching, questioning, entreating, longing. Hyde flushed and paled, but could not for his very life make the slightest effort at recognition or speech. Cornelia, who had seen his entry, was more She gave him one long prepared. look of tender reproach as she passed, hut she made no movement of recognition. If she had said one syllable if she had paused one moment. If she had shown in any way the least desire for a renewal of their acquaintance, Hyde was sure his heart would have Instantly responded. As it was, they had met and parted in a moment, and every circumstance had been against him. For it was the most natural thing in life, that he should, after his cousin's Interview with Washington, stoop to her words with and it was delight and Interest; equally natural for Cornelia to put the construction on his attentions which every one else did. Hyde wandered through the parlors speaking to one and another but ever on the watch for Cornelia. He saw her no more that night. She had withdrawn as soon as possible after meeting Hyde, and he was so miserably disappointed, so angry at the circumstances which had dominated their casual meeting, that he hardly spoke to any one as they returned home. The next day Annie asked: Do you remember the Rev. Mr. Darner, rector of Downhill Market?" "Very well. He preached very tiresome Bermons." "His daughter Mary was at the ball last night" What is Mary Darner doing in America?" She is on a visit to her cousin, who is married to 'the Governor of Massachusetts. He is here on some state matter, and as Miss Darner also wished to see Washington, be brought her with him. I was a mere lad when I saw her last Is she passable? She is extremely handsome. My aunt heard that she is to marry a Boston gentleman of good promise and estate. I dare say it is true. It was so true that even while they were speaking of the matter Mary was writing these words to her betrothed: The Yesterday I met the Hydes. young lord got out of my way. Did he imagine I had designs on him? I look for a better man. I may see a great deal of them in the coming summer, and then I may And out. At present I will dismiss the Hydes. I have met pleasanter company." Annie dismissed the subject with the same sort of impatience. It seemed to no one a matter of any importance. Hyde was shaken, confused, lifted on his feet, as it were; but after another day had passed, he had come to one steady resolution he would speak to Cornelia when he next met her, no matter where it was, or who was wun her. For nearly a week he kept a conscious, constant watch. Its insisting sorrowful longing was like a cry from l.ove's watch towers, but it did not reach the beloved one, or else she did r.ot answer It. One bright morning he resolved to walk through the great dry goods stores, where the beauties of the "gay Quakers" bought their choicest fabrics In foreign chintzes, lawns and Indian muslins. He was getting impatient of the bustle and pushing, when he saw Anthony The young approaching him. man was driving a new and very spirited team, and as he with some difficulty held them, he called to Hyde to come and drive with him. After an hour's driving they came to a fomous hostelry, and Clymer said, "Let us give ourselves lunch, and the horses bait and a rest, then we will make them show their mettle home again." The young men had a luxurious meal and more good wine than they ought to have taken. The champ and gallop of the horses and Clymers vociferous enjoyment of his own wit, blended, and for a moment or two Hyde was under a physical exhilaration as intoxicating as the foam of the champagne they had been drinking. In the height of this meretricious gaiety, a carriage, driving at a rather rapid rate turned into the road; and Cornelia suddenly raised her eyes to the festive young men, and then dropped them with an abrupt, even angry expression. Hyde became silent and speechless, and Clymer was quickly Infected hy - shall have to give you your own way. soft spiritual fire. This Impression was enhanced by her childlike gown of white crape over soft white silk; it suggested her sweet fretless life, and also something unknown and unseen in her very simplicity.

Both were glad to escape the others company, and Hyde fled to thn privacy of his own room, that he might hide there the almost unbearable chagrin and misery this unfortunate meeting had caused him. Where shall I run to avoid myself?" he cried, as he paced the floor in an agony of shame. She will never respect me again. She ought not. I am the most wretched of lovers." For some days sorrow and confusion and distraction bound his senses; he refused all company, would neither eat, nor sleep, nor talk, and he looked as white and wan as a spectre. A stupid weight, a dismal sullen stillness succeeded the storm of shame and grief; and he felt himself to be the most forlorn of human beings. At length, however, the first misery of that wretched mooting passed away, and then he resolved to forget. "It is all past! he said despairingly. She is lost to me forever! Alas, alas. Cornelia. Though you would not believe me, it was the most perfect love that I gave you!" Cornelias sorrow, though quite as profound, was different in character.
