She could remember many times: when he_ had souughit` her; and she had fancied that theme was something` deeper than admiration in his man-! ner. Often during the long warm; evenings he had ridden overto White) Cliffe, avo-wing that he enjoyed an` evening with the Squire, and that there` was no place he liked so well? as,` the quaint old house, and the old-I fashioned garden at White Cliffe. But more often than not during those ev- enings, Dolores would leave them! alone together. The pleasure was: -too much like pain; just as the pain resembled pleasure; they were so suB- tly blended that she could not sep- arete them, she could lmrclly tell one from the other, When she heard the,` sound of hie voice, her heart would" `beat violently, her sweet face grow paleas a white rose, her courage fail her, her stren.g'th seem to give way. Then, lest he should guess the cause of her emotion, she would send some excuse and decline to see him. 11 u.
