She fel! that not a chord in her heart thrilled as the well-remembered tones fell upon her ear. and she was streag again. ‘Certainly net, Mr. Tilden; when did you arrive in town?’ “Last Monday,”’ was the reply. “Then, seemg that with a formal | bow she was about to pass him, he laid his hand respecttully but firmly on her arm to detain her. “Mrs. Fletcher, Adeiaide.
