The sweet voice of the speaker was sad, and her brown eyes had a tender, tearful look in them as she raised them to the face of her companion. lie did not reply. His clear, bright glance was fixed on the most distant of the far hills, und his handsome, boyish face had a wistfully thoughtful look on it. "What are you thinking of, Justin?'1 said the young girl, when hi silence had attracted her attention. "I am wondering about the future," he replied, with a sigh, his grus wander ing nearer home, and finally resting on her face. 'I am tired of doin? tb.it," she an swered, carelessly, swinging the little brown gate by which th'y stood, back and forth with her hand. "I shan't trouble myself ubout what is coming, any more." by? that sounds oddly coming from your lips, fJeuie." It was a pretty countenance the young man looked into, while the owner f it hesitated.

"It makes mo so sad," she said at last, her ees fixed and dreamv. "!. you know, Justin, that I think there is some great trial in store for me by-and- by. A dread of coning ill always haunts me when I try to look forward. It is foolish, perhaps, but I cannot help it." "I might call it foolish if I were not a bit superstitious and mystical myself, to night," replied the young man, taking one of her hands and caressing it ab sently. "Your prospects certainly look bright now, (Seme, dear. "I know it, she replied, leaning her forehead against his shoulder in a famil iar, careless way. "My relatives will give me a good home aud ali the advantages their wealth can bung.

His arms closed impulsively around her, and lie beut forward and kissed her forehead. "Do you think that you will miss me, Genie?" 'You know that I shall." she re plied.

She watched his fine figure, with its well-poied head and spi inging-step, until it was nut of sight. Then she walked slowly up the winding, gravsy path, to the d ur. 0:i the threshold she aused, and looked back at the place whore they had been standing. ' I t.ilJ him that ho was my first love and that ho would be my last," she murmured to herself. "I hope he will remember it.

"What a beautiful girl 1" "And what an elegant rider 1" Viruiniit Thornton heard the words distinctly, and ulancing carelessly around from her seat in the saddle, met the ar dent looks of admiration with which they were accompanied.

The red, mo bile lips exhibiting M that moment only pride and beauty, betrayed nothing more. Proud as Lucifer 1" "She heard that, too. Still her face did not change. Her d uk eyes merely glanced up, and then down again. She rode out of the city with her compan ions, and, when among the "reeu coun try roads, galloped oil by herself. She knew the act would bo noticed, perhaps criticised, but she (lid nut care. She nas weary of the s u:id of gay laughter and the rattle of tu ones. She followed her own iiKlin.iliou a id escaped from them. Guiding her horse upon the Iresh, springy turf, she made him strike into an easy, even canter, and s ion the i Lh bloom broke through the gleaming fair ness ol her cheeks. I ne weary, lu li; ferent look faded out of her face her royally beautiful face aijl the looked glad and happy as a delighted child. "This is capiul," said aloud alter a while. "Are ynu tired, Vic?

Mis Thornton 1 The creature might as well bave attempted to shake olf one of his ears." tSI.e drew her pinting, excited steed in sharply, aud turned in the direction of tho voice. At sight of the a gentle man sitting on a low stone wall with a ridingstick in his hand, she uttered a quick exclamation of surprise. "Mr. Annesleyl I thought you re fused to join us to-J.iy ?" "And so I did, and so I persist in doing. I wish to ride mily with Miss Virgir. ia Thornton, and await her per mission to do so. At a motion of his hand, his horse, which was grazing at a a little di-tance, came and stood passively beside him. With his hand grasping the reins, lie wailed. The face he looked into was not like the one he might have seen framed in '.he waves of that rich, fair hair, an hour before. The mouth was tremulous and tender; the beant'lul eyes bairen of their coldness perhaps the wuiiiuii of his tniiii's had LauisiiuJ il as sunshine dissolves ice.

"The so, il May I She blushed, but the next impulse was to retort saucily. Looking up at him, however, the glance of her bright eyes quailed beneath tho grave expres sion of his. The crimson of her cheek deepened, her ripe mouth quivered. In that moment of exquisite pain and pleasure she wished that sho were dead. "Have 1 distressed you?" he asked, gently. His forbearance was a very great relief to hor. "Yes," she answered simply, looking frankly into his huiidsomu face. "Then I will say no more on the subject," ho replied. "I have some thing to tell you," ho said, alter a moment's pause, fur she did not speak. "A g( nlleman with whom I am well acquainted, commissionsd me to deliver you a small packet, to-day. I have carried it in my vest pocket since morn, ing. Ileie it is " He hauded her a little white package bearing her name. At sight of the handwriting, her face blanched sud lenly, and she reeled in her saddle ns if she had been struck by a heavy hand. "(), this is cruel !" she murmured. "Miss Thornton dear Virginia what is it?" said Hugh Auncsley, checking the horses. Then observing the reman ing pall ir of her features, he spuing to tho ground, and lilted her Iroin her seat. "What is it?" he repeated, with his arm around her. "Nettling I am ill," she answered, incoherently, and evidently struggling to regain her self-possession, "Sil down here," and he placed her gently upon a inoisy, fallen I g be eath a tree. "Now, do not talk u iiil you feel better. My poor chill." The tender, pitying words made her liis tremble. Standing beside her, ho (int back tho rich fall of her hair, with tho gentle touch of a loving woman She remained silent for a few moments, her head resting against the daik trunk of the tree, her lips parted slightly, and her eyes, with their long, dark lashes, wearily closed. At last she looked up. ' I w is ill yes'eiday I am not well to-day," she said, the color coming lilowly hack to her face. "O herwise 1 should not be so weal; and foolish.

II watched her proud countenance with searching eyes lor a moment. Then he sprang forward and grapsed her hit ds. Virtiinia, ynu are a true woman.

"Hugh Annesley, she said suddenly, at last, "ibis is selfu.li iu you." "What do you mean?" he asked. "You strive lo betray me into a con fession of love fur you before you advise me how to deal with the niao I formerly loved, und who you know now loves nio. Suppose I were to tell you that I had only a friendly regard for you, and that I loved another?" "In that case, I should ndviso you precisely as I do now." "And how is that ?" lie did not reply for u moment, aid she waited impatiently, while he stood loving with his locket. "lias il occurred to yu that the giver has probably sent a copy ol his face within this?" lie asked. , slight, nervous c ontiactioo passed over her face. "N'o, but it is likely,' she replied. "Do you wish to see?" "No, but ynu may." lie unclasped the locket.

"Who?" slio asked, startling. "The original of this portrait." Shi; sto nl gazing blankly at him. "You am mocking me; you are cruel," she slid, the tears starling to her eyes, and her color rising.

'1 will do so. Look at tho portrait." She took it from his hand, and he wats'ied her while sfic gi.'d.
