CHAPTER VIII , THE EAST APPEAL . TN due course , and without any particular adventure , Mark arrived at Wotyerston , - * - and was received very cordially by Mr . Seymour , pleasantly by Fitz—who was not quite so cordial and off-hand , he thought , as usual , but no doubt it was only

imagination—and kindly by Mabel . From something he saw between the two cousins , he was perplexed to know in what relative position they stood to each other , ancl , in order to solve all doubts , he made up his mind to speak to Mabel . The poor fellow had quite made up his mind to ask her to share his home ; and she , feeling it woidd be better to give Mm an early opportunity , knowing by her woman ' s instinct what he wished to say , soon managed to grant him the desired interview . It was a morning or two after he had arrived , ancl they

were sitting in the drawing-room alone alter lunch , the rest having gone out to some skating party . Mark had not told Mabel of the good news about tbe presentation , for fear it should look as if he came with a bribe iu his hand , and he scorned to take any advantage , resolving that , if she would have him , it should be for himself alone , ancl not for anything he had done or might do to please her . Was he right or wrong ? I do not know . I only know he was a noble-hearted young fellow any girl might have been proud to have as a lover , ancl I know that this

You . cannot mean it Mabel—I know you cannot .

" I have loved you as no man loved before . I loved you the first moment I saw you . I loved you when your sweet eyes looked in mine as we walked in . those beautiful courts when you were in London . I loved you when I saw you sitting quietly working in the Parsonage , and my whole thoughts have been of you from that day to this . "Do not draw your hand away from me—do > not turn your face away . Oh . ' Mabel , is it true , can you love another ?" The young man had started to his feet at the last wordsand was looking

im-, ploringly at the proud , beautiful coquette , waiting for an answer . " Mabel , I entreat you , speak . I wdl forgive you , though you have wronged me sorely . Tell me now , and put me at once and for ever out of my misery . " And Mabel answered quietly and sadly ; yes , sadly , for she was woman after all , and she coidd not but feel for his grief : —
