' The terms and the vacations went by. 1 did not, during the latter, see a grezit deal of Mr. Loraine, nor did he press Inc to spend the time at Herstal Abbey. But a certain feeling, it not oi gratitude, of what seemed right and proper, inluced me to stay there on several occasions. There was really little 3 apparent change in the relations between Loraine and myself. What change there` might be was perhaps for the better. _ I was accepting` his benets, but accepting _them because I considerel I had a right to them. Moreover, I_ was determined that, when the time came, I would be quite inde-V pendent of his favor. I endeavored now and again to show him my feelings on this point; and, in spite of the mocking smile with which he received my hints, I do not think he liked me the less. I am not sure but in time a sincere friendship might have sprung up between us: for, whatever may have been Julian Loraine s inner nature, when he chose to meet any one on terms of equality and companionship he could make himself one of tha most charming men in the world.

I rose and left him. I walked to the room which was known as Mr. Ju1ian s room, and, I am thankful to say, wept. After all, this man had given me much. But for him I might have been consigned to the workhouse; might now be nothing more than a tnason s apprentice. Julian Loraine had at least given me the means to start fairly in life.

It. was some time before I began to reect as to the imme- diate consequences his death would bring ` tomyself. I had money in hand, for the allowance made me by Mr. Loraine had al- ways been an ample one--so large, indeed, that when the truth of my birth wa; known to `me, I had asked him tovreduoe it. The right I presume] to claim fell far short of this. Mr. Loraine told me scorn- fully not to bother him about money mat- ters; so I had been unable to follow out the 1 plan which I had laid down-of taking from him only sufficient for my needs. Never- theless, Ihad not spent the surplus, and it would now serve me in completing my edu- cation. From him .I expected nothing. I had-shown him, both by act and word, that I expected nothing. Who were his heirs, or to whom his wealth would be left-,' were matters about which I troubled little. Now that Julian Loraine was dead, I could with a full heart thank him for all he had done for me. Then I could resign his name and force my own way in the world. mic cn`IinH-rnc nnrnn nrvn our` n-awn incl-un-nrL III-IV. `U1 \-C LLIJ UVVLI Item. 5].; vuu Iv\.ILA\4- His solicitor came down and-gave instru<,~ tions concerning the fun_3raL He did this at my request.

But at last Iwas in 1ove-hope1essly, un- reservedlv in love; My nature is, Ibelieve, a passionate one, and now that it had found its aim, I gave it full and free scope.
