Levering, who helped her into his sleigh, then jumped in hurriedly himself, and taking the reins rove rapidly away in a direction entire ly opposite to that which led to “The Elms." Here, then, were some grounds for my uneasiness 1 did not take time to think. Miss Croshy was as thoroughly forgotten as if sho had never lived I threw myself into my sleigh and, with my fine little pair of spirited Arab horses, was on their track like the wind. Luvering's horses, too, were thorough- brods from the stable of Mr. Crofton, and the race between us was a fearful one. allowed him to use his money as if it was his own. It was no wonder that Mr. Levering was immediately attracted by the beauty aud grace of Henrietta, nor that he at wnce showared his attentions upon her I had nevee foared encountering a rival before the advent of this young wan, but now [ saw, with great pangs of jealousy oreeping through my heart, that Henrietta treated nim with marked kindoess and was flattored by his devotion to her. I re- gretted th s as much for her snke as my own, for there was an indescribablesome- thing about the yonug man that made me fear he was not a pro rar associate for the ladies at ** The Els " How uncertain aro the events of the morcow! The sun rose, bright and beau- tiful, in a cloudless sky, but bofore noon tho day grew bitterly cold and occasional clouds chased each other across the heav- ous Towards evening the sky was en- tirely obscured and light flakes of snow began to float in the atmosphere. Mr. Croften predicted a severs snow atorm, and befvrs dawn hia prediction was veri- tisd. The Leverings, instead of taking their departure, were likely to bscome fixtures for somo time, Sleet and suow continnod to fall without cossation all the next [t was not until evening that the clouds rolled away and the full moon whone out in an azure sky, shedding its palo light over the thick, white carpet that covered the earth, and giving a bril- bant luster to the ice-clad trees and shrubbery. Athough everytling without was so choorless, the drawing-room presented a sceno of Lvoliness aud gayety. Tho ladies emploged upon hor embroidery o ero. chot work were exchanging roparteo, Hon- viotta was playing brillisutly on the piano, attended by Mr Levering, who bent over her to turn the leaves of her music and utter low whispers that beought a flood o° blushes to her face.

We had been much thrown together in our childhood, and were 8o fond of each other then that we had exchanged a promise to marcy when we were old enough. This was only children’s talk, but L had treasured it in wy heart, intending that no «fforn of mine should be wanting to bring abuur its fulfillment.

The moonlight on the snow turned the night into brilliant day, and the ladies enlivened the ride with wmerry songs and jests.
