ber head, finely moulded, isset rather haughtily on the small neck ; hair, of jetty blackness, waves away from the broad high forehead, and is worn in a massive coil low on the neck.1ler features are irregular; tho complexion too dark to be pronounced pretty.But the mouth is small and sweet, while the eyes redeem tho face from plainness, for they are dark grey now, and a casual observer would wonder what there was about the girl that brought men to her feet, as the magnet draws the needle, but sve ber once when excited, when the pure depths of the woman's soul is stirred with enthusiasm, watch then the dark eyes as they deepen in color and glow and flash, and you will seo whero lies tho secret of her power\u2014tho soul-boauty, which is far above any mere external loveliness.And now you have been introduced to my heroine, Mabel Verc de Vere, you will want to know for whom she is watching so eagerly and why the small hands press each other 80 firmly ns she peers down the long street.Sho is expecting her brothor, who has gone to the station to meet their cousin, Ida Tracy, whom they have not met for eight years.Sho was a pretty blue-eyed fairy of twelve summers then, and Mabel wonders if she has developed into the beauty she pro mised to be on her last visit to Clayton, and wonders, further, if her betrothed, Arthur Hammond, will not think blue eyes and golden curls prettier than her own quiet, sober face.Here sho turns, and walking to the mirror, looks herself over criticisingly, as she might a stranger; but, hark, there are footsteps and voices in the hall, and opening the door she lets the light fall full on the faces of her brother and the lady on hisarm.Rarely beautiful is this woman, who advances to meot her: a cemploxion pure and white as an infant, eyes blue and right as sapphire, masses and waves of light golden hair falling over hor shoulders io bright curls.Petite in form, dainty and graceful, Ida Tracy came into the home of her uncle as a bright sunbeam.All loved her, even Mabel, who had so dreaded her coming, smiled at her fancies when Arthur said she was only a pretty child, and petted her as such.She was accomplished, too, in a certain way ; could sing and play tender melodies to tho old piano; cmbroidered fanciful dogs and cats on canvas, for the admiration of her dear five hundred frionds, and, in general, keeping up the fine lady appearance, which was so charming to her stylish parents.Brought up in Now York, she had been taught to look on dress and amusement a8 tho chiet occupation of woman, and of late the securing of an establishment, as her mother termed what we would call catching a husband.Tired with the gay winter season, she had suddenly concluded to air- her finery and kittenish caprices in the little town of Clayton, situated a day\u2019s ride from the great metropolis.Here her mother\u2019s brother, Philip Vere de Vere, resided.Eight ycars before, as has been intimated, she had visited that place, and still remembered, with feelings of pleasure, the admiration which had been lavished upon her.Of Arthur Hammoud she had casually heard as a rising young lawyer, and the betrothed of hor cousin Mabel.Mecting bim now for the first time, sho was impressed with the nobility of his appear- ance\u2014tall and commanding in form, with a face remarkablo for its intellectual oxpres- sion, dark brown hair, a proud, firm mouth, shaded by a luxuriant moustache, and piercing dark eyes of a peculiar hazel color com- pour the tout ensemble of the man whom abel Vere de Vere almost worshipped.Herself the eldest of six children, our heroine had carly felt tho burdens of life resting upon her.Her mother, a weak invalid the greater part of hor time, left the entire care of the household to this oldest daughter, who was 80 womanly above her years.The twins, Larry and Hattie, from the time of the advent of the new baby, were given altogether into Mabel's hands, and were rarely away from her day or night.Her father's circumstances permitted thom but ono servant, but she, with Mabel's assistance, managed to keep everything in order, and few houses in Clayton were more admired than the Elms, the ancient home of the Vore de Veres.Three years before the time our story opens, Arthur Hammond had come to tho town, had met and boon attracted toward our heroine, then a girl of sixteen.The attraction had been mutual, and altho\u2019 Mabel bad been reserved and shy at first, as such natures aro apt to be, holding her feelings in chock, she bad finally como to nearly idolize this man who played so skillfully upon her beart strings, and\u2018 when, in earnest tones, he confessed his love for her and bez- ged for hers in return, she thought the cap of her happiness was full, and gave him her heart without reserve.They were admirably suited to each other in taste and disposition, and the year following their betrothal was one of deep happiness to both, Arthur was but a strugglin young lawyer, though, and Mabol was noed- ed at home, so their marriage was post- ned for the present.Then came Ida racy, with her city airs and winning face, and Mabel\u2019s mother trembled for her child, #8 she thought of the deep, passionate soul of the girl, and reflected on the possible agony in store for her should her lover prove unirae; but no word from mother or daughter revealed the inner dread of each as, day by day, Arthur called, driving the cousins away out into the country in his light carriage, apparently Ida in a very cousinly manner.often bis glance wandered to the graceful form of her cousin, and how she, in turn, deferred to him in such a sweet innocent Original.manner.And when, after 8 few weeks, be father and the poor es \u2018To cool, phiegmatic tem ; might seem a small matier, but to Mabol\u2019s renting Bat Mabel noticed how! HUNTINGDON, Q.THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 18%.came only in the mornings, and Ids saw him alone, for Mabel's housebold duties claimed her all the forenoon, she tried to excuso him on the nd that all men love admiration, and Ida was lavish in her praises.But a time came when she could \u2018no longer be blind to the fact that the heart of her lover was slipping out of hor keepin .ments 8 proud, trusting epirit, it was a orushing low.Coming home from a neighbor's late one evening, she encountered Arthur and Ida walking in the garden : his arm was about hor waist; her hand clasped in his, and both were so absorbed in conversation that they did not observe Mabel until thoy met face to faco in the narrow walk, when Ida, with the characteristic cowardice of her nature, abruptly ran away.Hammond looked as though be would like to follow suit, but something in Mabel\u2019s took decided bim to remain.For a moment an awkward silence ensued, which Arthur broke by say- | ing: \u2018I presume you are angry with me, Mabel dear, and no wonder, for the fact is I am afraid you and [ have made a mistake in thinking we cared enough for each other to be married,\u2019 \u2018How long since have you found this out ?' queried Mabel, coldly.Arthur tried to laugh, but she drew herself up with the air of an einpress as she went on : \u2018The fact is, Mr Hammond, you have proved yourself a different man from what thought you were.You think now that you love my cousin, and so wish to break your engagemont with me in order to form ono with her.It is well.Here is your ring.We moet as strangers henceforth.Good evening, sir, and he was alone.\u2019 He was piqued\u2014he bad expected tears and remonstrances.This calm behaviour surprised him,
