May's ej-es slowly opened, and wandering over the group around her. fixed themselves at last on his pale anxious face with a troubled look, as though she were trying to recall something, and she beckoned him towards her. "Arthur," she whispered feebly, "I have been face to face with a power mightier than my pride, and it has conquered me.

My "first act shall be to unsay the lie I told you 1 do love yon." Arthur knelt beside her, and careless of the wondering crowd, kissed her pale cheek again and again. Mrs. Dacio burst through the little group like a flame. "Get up, shameless boy!" she said sternly, "and come Arthur tightened his grasp on May's half lifeless form. "Come home!" she reiterated.

"The blood of tho Dacies can never mingle with that that flows in her veins." The young man's eyes flashed and the veins stood out on his forehead. "Mother," he said hoarsely, "May Luner is my betrothed bride, and it will not be safe, even for you, to repeat such words in my presence." Mrs. Dacie regarded him for a moment with a look in which anger and affection were strangely blended; and then, going on the other side of May, seized her by the arm, and shook her.

"Sho must cross the bridge, and you know that the stream is swollen into a torrent, and that there were rumors half an hour ago that tho upper dam had gone." Mrs. Dacie looked sublimely indifferent "It is really very creditable and humane in you, Arthur, to interest yourself in a person like Miss Luner, she returned loftily; "but had I though there was any danger I should not have sent her." Arthur looked at her with a curious smile for an instant, and taking his hat, hastily left the house; too late, however, if he meant to overtake May Luner before fcie reached the bridge, for. agitated by a storm of contending passions, 6he rah onward as though impelled by furies, and was half-way across the frail plank that spanned the swollen stream before her pro-oecupied senses took note of the signs of her great danger.

I beg you will pay more attention to Ginevra.

I observed that she has a bad habit of stooping a very unbecoming thing in a Daeie. You must watch her unceasingly, Miss Luner, and never relax your vigilance for a moment; and I am sorry to find that Adelaide, too, is not so forward in her history as I could desire. Yesterday she was unable to tell who killed JurTus Ca-sar. "Remember, Miss Luner, you are here, not only to teach a thing, but to enforce it You are never to give way to indolence, even for a moment, but to keep every nerve on the strain, for the responsibility of educating a Dacie is no small one." Mrs. Dacie, who delivered the foregoing harangue, was a dark haired little woman, with" a low forehead, an arched nose, a small mouth, which she scarcely opened in speaking, and brilliant, restless, implacable eyes; cold, measured, and scrupulously polite in manner, untiringly energetic, entrenched in pride and prejudice, and alwa3s decided on every point, unless it were the question whether the Dacies were actually formed out of the same vulgar dust as the herd of people who were toiling, loving, hoping, and fearing around her-.

That she and Miss Luner, her governess, had anything in common besides the quarterly salary that formed the bond of union between them, she would have denied most emphatically; and yet among all the portraits that graced the walls of the library where she was sitting, there was not one face so fair as that of May Luner a girl with features just sufliciently irregular to render them piquant; cream-like, colorless skin; scarlet lips; a profusion of soft brown hair; brown eyos, and a look that reminded you involuntarily of lilies, and pearls, and snow-white roses, and all pure, pale, sweet things a poetical, dreaming, impassioned face, but promising none of that wiry activity so much desired by Mrs. Dacie, that was to straighten Ginevra's stooping shoulders and furbish up Adelaide's history. Not the shadow of an emotion of any kind had gleamed in her marvellous eyes as she listened to Mrs. Dacie's instructions; and though that august lady actually waited a moment, as if for an answer, before gathering up her silk morning-robe and sweeping from the room, a silent bend of the head was Miss Lnner's only answer, as she turned to look out of the window. Mrs.

Dacie had called the weather favorable, but the lowering sky and the made the morning seem anything but a propitious one, and the pretty btrea in that turned lazily half-a-dozen inili-w heels, and tumbled itself over a succession of dams, with a murmur that hardly rose above the hum of the summer air. now rushed furiously past, black, swollen and foaming, penetrating even the substantial walls of the Daeie mansion with iis sullen foreboding Looking and listening to it.
