How she had found this out was her own treasured secret Ernest was surprised to be aroused from his morning slumber by the an- nouncement of a servant that Mr. Moody, Lora’s father, was in the parlor below and “would he please dress and come down at once?” When Ernest joined his early visitor he found Mr. Moody pacing the room up and down in a state of great agita- tion. “Ernest,” he spoke in an unsteady tone, “I've got some bad news for you.” “Ned—" began Ernest. “No, Lora.” “She is il1?” “Worse!"” groaned the unhappy fath- er. “Ernest, boy, be brave!

Was he think- ing, too, of Rose? It so, that account- ed for a new brightness in his face as he made her out at a little distance. She greeted him with a warm hand- , elasp, her face showing deep womanly sympathy. dued tone. He sat down beside her with a deep sigh. It mme‘u though a strange restfulness came over him. He knew what was in her mind—friendly pity, genuine interest. She was rather i surprised at the calm, grave manner in which he took his trouble. Rose drifted the conversation into generai channels.

He was an empty-headed fellow, but had wealth and lively social connections, and, while glad of his escape from marry- ing a woman he did not love, Ernest really believed that Lora would be happy in her new environment. Ernest decided to leave the village. He went to bid farewell to the girl he cherished as a true friend.
