After Elizabeth and Frank had rested a little while at the cottage, they continued their way, in company with Adolphus, toward Stamford Manor. - It was about seven o’clock in the evening, that Elizabeth Paton rambled forth alone in the grounds attached to the mansion, — Frank and Adolphus remaining indoors. She was pondering upon the conversation that had taken place in the morning between her brother and herself, and deliber- ating in her own mind upon the probable course that their father would recommend with respect to Frank’s passion for Juliana Farefield. She was likewise reflecting, in its turn, upon the mysterious letter she had received from Kate Marshall. In this meditative mood she reached the palisade that skirted the grounds, and on the opposite side of which there was a road. All of a sudden an ejacula- tion of enthusiastic Joy fell upon her ears, startling her from her reverie. She raised her eyes; with a single bound an individual. sprang over the palisade, and alighted in her presence, his countenance beaming with rapture.
