across th" chasm. Crossing the bridge
• nd seating himself u;»m the opposite ris
ing ground, Stafford brought forth his
pencil« and water colors, and set himself
eagerly Io work.
Ho absorbed did he become In bi« occu
patl-ni that he was unconscious of the
approach of a second person until, raising
his eyes In • new direction, he perrelvr.l
a lady with a book In her hand, «landing
upon the bridge, looking ronteuiplatively
.low n the valley.
The pencil dropped
from his hand, and he could not repress
a alight cry of surprise.
The lady was about twenty years of
age, and lightly dressed In white muslin,
relieved by • trimming of bright blue rib
bon. From beneath her l<eghorti bat her
hair hung down In a shower of golden
ringlets, her eyes were dark, her complex
Um pale, b«r features stquiaitely regular
and refined.
Absorbed In the contemplation of this
lien ill I fill vision, the loveliness of tbs land
*ea|e was wholly forgotten, and Staf
ford continued to gale upon her with the
most wondering Interest.
After a few
moments she resumed the perusal of the
book, and alowly advanced to the very

She was utterly unconwious of his

knk, whl-'b, upon recognition, changed In
atantly lo a acarlet blnah.
“Pardon me. Miss Grierson.” he said.
In a low, agitated toue. ”1 fear that 1
have lerrifl.d you.”
“Mr. Stafford,” ah» murmured, easting
down her eyes.
“I can scarcely believe my senses! Is
it Indeed you} What a strange meeting
—-in such a place!”
”1 am staying with Mrs. lluller. at
ff.lndon Grange. This Is on the «alate,
I often stroll here; tbs spot la so sell-
tary and so very beautiful,” replied the
lady. "But It Is yst stranger to meet
you so far away from Ixindon."
“Oh, I left town with the rest of ths
fashionable people,” answered Stafford.
"I am on a sketching tour going right
down Into Cornwall.” He spoke the last
word with markcl emphasi«, and a flan-»
to watch the effect.
