In the course of my v,:sits I made

She was the d,i)i4liter of .a gentleman
largely engaged in the grjiin business.
.She was a sprightly, bl:ick:fyed girl of
eighteen years, Ijiit Iter greatest charm
lay in tier powers of conversation; in
this respect ,1 preferred lu-r to any
young lady 4I. had ever met.
1 had tJeeii visiting lr. JTobart's

From th'at,Jior.thc career of ltalph
Moulton was.j.lp.:d to the old floral
teachings to which he had been reared,
lie left our boarding hotise, accjisiug
,ini! of conspiring against him, and
avowing the most bitter vengeiye on
my head. His unjust suspicions gave.
Mic the fcVa-test sorrow I had ever
known.
After this, I aw but little of U;dph,
ami 1 was careful never to utjer a
word that, might injure him. ln.none
of my letters hfcitie did I ever iiuen
tion ;.at hail occurred.
It was midsummer, and I had ac
cepted an invitation from Mr. llobart
to seiid a week at his country-house.
I hall not seen ltalph for a long.time,
in fact. I only heard of him accasiou
ally. ,l!o was drinking hard, it was
said, apd was very (much changed.
To.add to this trouble, he had pro
posed to Julia llobart, and sue had
'rejected him. J.li.s,lifc was becQmiug
.tuovc iiotoritH!j.
j,had bc;p t .lr. Ilobart's (but a
single day w.hep J. walked out M'ith
.Ju.lja to vjft.v it;e.inrkable cliff that

creek that,5(Hi thupugh Mr. IluVart's
properly. .She VQre that mQruing

that now Iks before me.
Wc bad reached the precipie and
were standing on the brink gaziyg be
low, when a gust of wind swept the
ribbon Iroiu her hair and lodged it
some twenty or thirty feet dow(o the
side of the cliff on some tangle vines
that grew upon the rocks.
A loolish desire to obtain tb rib
bon took possession of me, ansj not
withstaiMling Jplia's entreaties, I
untied ;a rope which was used as a
swing (that happened to bo near at
band, fcpd commenced to make my
descent. There was really ven'v lit
tle danger so long as I had the aid of
the rppe; w ithout it I could do noth-
'V&-. 'VJO must, inevitaoiy ian.
J had reached the shelving rocks
had secured the ribbon xnich 1
tied in the button hole of my coat,
when I cast my eyes upward d saw
Ralph Moulton with a knife , in his
hand running for the cliff. In another
instant he was there and h&4 com
meneed to saw at tho only support
that preserved me from cleatb, J una
llobart caught him by the arms and
screamed for rae to ascend. I saw
the glittering blade as it 8cyeTed the
strands of the rope, and ajr$ady I
could see that he had cut ftaw way
through it. My blood ran ofd as I
commenced Usf climb upward. Every
instant I exppcted tp be cast headlong
below. 3 It it had not been lor J una s
struggles t stay Moulton' hand
should not now be .writisar . these
lines. . ....
Several times J thought both
Ralph and herself would tumble over
the cliff ' together, Finally, by a
sudden wrench ra which she severely
wouned her hand), she tore tho knife
fromgialph's grasp and flnng it into
the air, and again grappled bim with
all her plight. He tore himself away
from her, and hurled a large stone at
me, which struck roe npon the shoul
der. Her screams had been heard at
tho house, and her father and .the
servants were seen running towards
the spot. Thank heaven, I had gained
the tp of the cliff, not a moment too
soon, however, for the rope had so
