T liis episode had occurred atw ut a fo rt
night before E z ra ’s re tu rn from A frica,
and was duly retailed to him by his fa th

“ You ne*«d not he discouraged by th a t,"

"1 rtinnot und erstan d how you ever

answ ered sullenly. "T h e girl belongs to

"N ever mind, my boy,” replied the m er

showed th a t he w as aa good a s his word.

E zra kindly on h.s re tu rn from his tr a v
el*. W ith in a few days she becam e con-
si .ous th a t a rem arkable change had come
over him— a change, as it seemed to her,
very m uch for th e better. In th e p ast
weeks had frequently elapsed w ithout his
aildressing her, but now he w ent out of
bis way to m ake him self agreeable. Some
tim es he would sit fo r a whole evening
describing to her all th a t he had seen in
A frica, and really in te restin g her by his
account of men and things. She, poor
lass, hailed th is new d e p a rtu re w ith de
light, and did all iu her pow er to encour
age his b etter n atu re , and to show th a t
aftt appreciated th e alte ra tio n in his b ear
ing. A t th e same tim e, she was ra th e r
puzzled in her m ind, for an occasional
dash of coarseness or ferocity showed her
th a t the real n a tu re of the m an w as u n
altered, an d th a t be w as p u ttin g an un-
u a tu ra l re s tra in t ui»ou him self.
Aa the days w ent on and no word or
6ign came from Tom , a g reat fe a r an d
perplexity arose w ithin the g irl’s m ind.
She had heard nothing of. the interview
at F enchurch stree t nor had she any clue
at ail w hich could explain the m ystery.
Could it be th a t Tom had inform ed her
guardian of th eir engagem ent, and had re
ceived such a rebuff th a t he had a b a n
doned her in d esp air? T h a t w as surely
im possible; yet why w as it th a t he had
copied to walk through the sq uare? She
knew th a t he w as not ill, because she
heard her tw o com panions talk in g of him
iu connection w ith business. W hat could
be the m a tte r th e n ? H er little h e a rt w as
loro by a thousand coniiicting doubts an d
•ears.
In the m eantim e E zra gave fresh m an
ifestations of the im provem ent w hich
tia v e l had w rought upon him. She had
rem arked one day th a t she was fond of
moss roses. On coining down to b rea k fa st
uext m orning she found a b eautiful moss
rose upon her p late, and every m orning
afte rw a rd s a fresh flower appeared in the
si'iiie place. T h is p re tty little piece of
courtesy, which she knew could only come
from E zra, su rp rised and pleased her, for
delicacy w as the la st q u al.ty w hich she
would have given him credit for.
On an o th er occasion she had expressed
a desire to read T h ac k eray 's w orks, the
books in the library being for the m ost
p a rt som ew hat ancient. On en terin g her
room th a t sam e evening she found, to her
astonishm ent, a handsom ely bound edition
of the novels in question stan d in g on the
center of her table. F o r a m om ent a wild,
unreasoning hope uwroke in her th a t p er
haps th is wa» T om 's doing— th a t he had
takeD th is m eans of show ing th a t she was
still dear to him. Khe soon saw, how ever,
th a t the hooks could only have come from
the sam e source as the flowers, an d she
m arveled m ore than ever a t th is fresh
oroof of the good will of her com panion.
One day her gu ard ian took the girl
«.side. "Y our life m ust be ra th e r du ll,”
he said. “ I have taken a box fo r you to
night a t the opera. I do not care ab o u t
such spectacles myself, b u t I have m ade
aira n g em e n ts for >o u r escort. A change
■vill do you good."
Boor K ate was too sad a t h ea rt to be
inclined for a m u sen e u t. She endeavored,
however, to look pleased and g ratefu l.
“ My good friend, M rs. W ilkinson, is
coming fo r you,” the m erchant said, "a n d
K tra is going, too. H e has a great liking
for m usic.’’
K ate could not help sm iling a t th is la st
rem ark, as she thought how very jruccess-
fully th e young man had concealed his

him.
