Always he had passed the Van Heems-kirkhouse and always Katherine had been waiting to rain down upon his uplifted face the Influence of her most bewitching beauty and her smiles. As she happily mused, some one called her mother from the front hall. On fine mornings it was customary to leave the door standing open; and the visitor advanced to the foot of the stairs aud called once more, Lysbet Van Heemskirk! Is there naebody in to hid me welcome?" Then Katherine knew it was Madam Semple; and she ran to her mothers room and begged her to go down-anreceive the caller. For In these days Katherine dreaded Madam Semple a little. Very naturally, the mother blamed her for Neils suffering and loss of time and prestige; and she found it hard to forgive also her positive rejection of his suit. And towards Neil, Joris had. a se, cret feeling of resentment. He had taken no pains to woo Katherine until some one else wanted her. It was universally conceded that be had been the first to draw his sword, and thus indulge his own temper at the expense of their child's good name and happiness. So, below the smiles and kind words of a long friendship, there was bitterness. If there had not been Janet Semple would hardly have paid that morning visit; for before Lysbet was half way down the stairs, Katherine heard her call out: Here's a bonnle come of. But it is what a folks expected. The Dauntless sailed the morn, and CapL Earl wT a contingent for the West Indies station. And who wl him, guess you, hut Capt. Hyde, and no less? They say he has a furlough In his pocket more like it's a for a twelve-montclean total dismissal. The gude ken It ought to be. So much Katherine heard, then her mother shut the door of the sitting room. A great fear made her turn faint and sick. Were her fathers words true? The suspicion once enshe remembered several tertained, little things which strengthened It Her heart failed her; she uttered a low cry of pain, and tottered to a chair like one wounded. It was then ten oclock. She thought the noon hour would never come. Eagerly she watched for Bram and her father; for any certainty would be better than such cruel fear and suspense. And, if Richard bad really gone the fact would he known to them. Bram came first. For once she felt Impatient of his political enthusiasm. Ilow could she care about liberty poles and Impressed fishermen with such a real terror at her heart? Joris was tenderly explicit. He said The Dauntless to her at once: sailed this morning. Oh. my little one. sorry I am for thee! Is he'gone? Very low and slow were the words; and Joris only answered, Yes. Without any further question or remark, she went away. They were amazed at her calmness. And for some minutes after she had locked the door of her room, she stood still In the middle of the floor, more like one that has forgotten something, and Is trying to remember, than a woman who has received a blow upon her heart No tears came to her eyes. reShe did not think of weeping or The only proaching, or lamenting. were. questions she Bskod herself Will Ufa over?

For I must ell you that tho colonel has orders or Boston, and I may see my charming friend no more after Katherine, what say you? Will you go?" 'Please, mljn moeder. "Make great haste, then." For Lysbet was pleased with the offer, and fearful that Joris might arrive, and refuse to let his daughter accept it. She hoped that Katherine would receive some comforting message. Stay, not long. she whispered, "for your father's sake. There Is no good, more trouble to give him. "Well, my dear, you look like a ghost. Have you not one smile for a woman so completely In your interest? I promised Dick this morning that I would be sure to get word to you" "I thought Richard had gone." "And you were breaking your heart that is easy to be seen. He has gone, but he will come back at eight oclock. No matter what happens, be at the riverside. Do not fall Dick; he is taking his life In his hand to see you." "I thought he had gone gone, without a word. "Faith you are not complimentary! I flatter myself that our Dick Is a gentleman. I do, Indeed. And, as he Is yet perfectly in his Benses, you might have trusted him." "When will Richard return?" "Indeed, I think you will have to answer for his resolves. But he will speak for himself; and, in faith, I told him that he had come to a point where I would be no longer responsible for his actions. I am thankful to own that 1 have some conscience left" The ride was not a very pleasant one. Katherine could not help feeling that Mrs. Gordon was distrait and In consistent; and, towards its close, she became very silent. Yet she kissed her kindly, and drawing her closely for a last word, said, "Do not forget to wear your wadded cloak and hood. You may have to take the water; for the councillor Is very suspicious, let me tell you. Remember what I say tho wadded cloak and hood; and good-by- , my dear. Shall I see you soon? "When we may meet again, I do not pretend to say; till then, I am entirely yours; and so again good-by.- " Tbe ride had not occupied an hour; but, when Katherine got home, Lysbet was making tea. "A cup will be good for you, mljo kind." And she smiled tenderly In the face that had been so white In Its woeful anguish, but on which there was now tbe gleam ot hope. And she perceived that Katherine had received some message; she even divined that there might be some appointment to keep; and she deter-minnot to be too wise and prudent, but to trust Katherine for this evening with her own destiny. That night there was a meeting at the town hall and Joris left the house soon after his tea. For an hour or more Katherine sat In the broad light of the window, fold log and unfolding the pieces ot white linen, sewing a stitch or two here, and putting on a button or tape there. Madam passed quietly to and fro about her home duties, sometimes stopping to say a few words to her daughter. When Lysbet was ready to do so. sbe began to lay Into the table-Jincdeep drawers of the presses the which Katherine had so neatly and carefully examined. Over a pile of fine damask napkins she stood, with a perplexed, annoyed face; and Katherine, detecting It, at once understood the cause.
