High Sutton the unhomelike abode which
it must have been in their mother's lifetime. It -was perhaps this very consciousness wMch.made Mr. Sutton, so gentle in
dealing vritk his second coa, who inherited
his.mother's jealous, gloomy temperament.
So ever-conscious was he of the misery oi
it for the young ma© himself, that it -waa
not in seeming oaly that ho wos kinder to
ihe morose and silent lad thou to the elder
brother (elder only by twenty minutes), who
possessed liis father's genial nature, and
that thorough sincerity which precludes the
possibility of suspicion.
But it was not of the Squire's u twin lads "
Miss Macnair was thinking, as she and her
brother-in-law strolled away from tlie river.
It was of a theme far more conducive in
her mind to uneasy speculation. Unfathomable as are the unuttered thoughts of
one's companion, Miss Macnair's might
have lain clear, as daylight before the
Squire, by the utterance of her first remark.
" Jtfbra is reckless, and volatile, and flippant."
" Sum It up in a word, Caroline," put in
"Wynter Sutton, pleasantly. "Say Kora is
Irish."
'• I wish she had stayed in Ireland."
" You do not mean what you say," was
the quiet rejoinder to this unpremeditated
flash. ".Nora's mother was the early and
constant friend of my wife and yourself.
What could you do less than ask her here,
and be kind to her, now that she is motherless —like our own lads ? "
" Not much like our own lads," returned
Miss Macnair, pleasantly appropriating the
plural pronoun; " her father is —.why he
and Nora aro like two senseless children
at home at Baggallcy, and the whole estate
is going to ruin as fast as it can. It never
was worth much either. Nora must teel
the difference when she is here." -
" I hope she does," said the Squire, while
a pleasaat light shone in his eye§.
" I m$an, of course, in the boys' vacation," continued Miss Macnair, looking
straight on before her; " but for my ewn
part I don't like her manner of Toeing so
thoroughly at home, even with, them.""
"I do. While so young, at any rate, she
need not be hemmed round with ceremonious stiffness. I'm sure the boys think of
Nora as they would of a pet sister."
" I don't like it,'| exclaimed Miss Macnair, with, inexplicable rapidity. " They
are not brothers and sister, so why should
they behave as such. ? "
"Let the subject drop, Caroline," remarked Mr. Sutton, with a tone of pain in
his quiet voice. " Nora is your guest here;
and a motherless girl, who has not learnt
so much perhaps as other girls have learnt
—we seemed just then to have forgotten
th#t. By the way, it is time they had land-
eft aad. overtaken, ns."
she eried, tyin^ on her
hat hastily, ancl preparing to spnng from
the fence. " Let's go and gather cherries
now.. You two shall climb" and gather,
and I'll catch and eat. That's a nice arrangement, feat it ? '*
"An excellent one,'* cried the Squire,
joining t*hem just as Nora alighted om the
grass beside I)rury, and Ernest followed at
her summons;' "• & fair division of labor
indeed."
"Did you see me wave my hat, Mr. Sutton?" asked the girl, turning gladly at the
sound of his voice, and linking her hand
in his arm with a familiarity which greatly
quickened the regular breathing d" Miss
Macnair. "That.was to show I had wor
the race."
"You had far too good a start, little lady,
I wouldn't have allowed it if I had been
either of the lads."
" But you aren't either of the lads, I'm
glad to say. Now suppose we have a race,
you and I, Mr. Sutton; we'll ran to the
cheny-orchard, and start in a line, to Lather the ends of justice. Miss Macnair,
will you start us please — awfully fairly ? "
Awfully is not a word to employ as yoa
employ it, Nora," began Miss Macnair;
" you, particularly, in whom nothing and
nobody inspires my awe at all."
" O, I always forget," cried Nora, tossing
back her disheveled hair. "Papa uses it
tooj so perhaps it's a manner and custom
of the Irish. We often laugh at each
other, yet we never remember to cure ourselves."
" It should be cured," rejoined the elder
lady impressively.
"All in good time," put in the Squire,
when he saw the shy color rise in the girl's
cheeks. "I'm ready, Nora. One, two,
three! Away!"
Words would fail in describing the-rigid
displeasure of Miss Macnair's visage as the
two figures tied from her, followed by her
nephews, laughing heartily; and cheering,
when the Squire, using his reserved
strength after his antagonist had exhausted
hers, covered the last few yards with marvelous rapidity, and turned with triumph
to meet Nora, as she came up panting and
flushed, but laughing too.
"Beaten, Nora! Unmistakably and ig.
nominiously beaten."
" It is better to race with you," said the
girl, speaking to the young men as demurely as her failing breath would allowT; "you
are far more easily conquered."
"Is it so?" asked the Squire, laughing
still, but gazing with a steady, almost questioning, gaze, into the young face. " I'm
very glad."
"Nowforthe cherries," cried Nora, noticing neither words nor glance. •" Who is
' going up the tree?   I'm ready to catch."
"All risht," cried Ernest swinsrinsrhini-A

** Yes," assented the Squire, wife a ner%
ousneea whicli w<as new to him^ " I suppose so."
" I have had a great shocks Wynter,'4
continued his sister, apparently- shrinking
from the confidence which she volunteered.
" I hope 1 may have been mistaken -in the
conclusion your conduet forcedmpon me. 1
should deeply regret your having ever given Nora Carleton reason to believe that—"
" The conclusion which fegsisliocked you
is a jast conclusion, I dare o&y, Caroline,"
returned Mr. Sutton, a smile-breaking upon
his handsome face. " You see 1 don't pre.
tend to misunderstand youw I am going to
ask Nora to be my wife."* ,
For a long minute Miss- Macnair stood
to regard her companion in speechless
wonder, and then only lour words passe*!
her tightened lips.
" You must be madr*
Tlie Squire's smile faded.
" Sometimes I think I am," he said, with
gravity; "and sometimes I know not what
Sreams of happiness, possess me, in spite ol
my gray hairs."
"" A fool's paradise,5"' was the muttered
retort
"Possibly," said Wynter Sutton very
sadly; " if so, \% will soon have faded."
"Then you mean to tell Nora ofthis
ridiculous infatuation! If it were one of
your own boys speaking so, Wynter, I couM
believe it. There would be some thing a
trifle more suitable in an attachment between Nora and one of £hem; and indeed I
think there is such an attachment."
If Miss Macnair had fancied that las^
blow would change the Squire's plans, she
speedily became aware of her mistake.
" If "it be so," was the quiet rejoinder,
"my lads will find their father do his bz&t
to help them on feo happiness."
Then he was gone, and his sister-in-law
was left to wonder and to fret alone.
" What absurdity!w she muttered, as she
impatiently started to leave the orchard.
" A girl who might be his daughter, and
who has, I dare say, looked upon herself often in tlie light of his daughter-in-law^. It
wTould be a little less intolerable even if sh©
were an English girl: they are older fer
their years, and more sedate. Nora is in
some matters a perfect baby, and I'm sick
of Wynter's reiterated assertion that she is
a true woman in spite of her random ways.
Wait until he tries her—for there is no
chance,, however slight, of his being refused
the opportunity of trying her as his wife..
The idea of a girl who has been used to
the irregular poverty of Baggalley refusing
the master of High Sutton! She is vain
enough to know the influence she' would
possess; and—the idea is altogether hateful." A fact wrhich would have been plainly evident to any one who could have seen
the gesture of repugnance wit%which M;ss
