Harold Quarltch waa hippy, too, though la

wants at Molesbill, with the help of a gar
dener and a simple village maid, her uiece.
who smashed all tbs crockery, and naarly
drove the colonel mad by bunging me doure,
shifting hie papers, and even dusting
hTs trays of Roman ooiue, actually con
fided to some friends in the village
that the thought the poor dear gentleman
waa going mad. W lieu questioned on what
she based this belief, she replied that ha
would walk up end down the oak paneled
dining room by the hour together, that then,
when he got tired of that exerciee, wberei.y,
id Ura Johauo, be had already worn a
groove In the new Turkey carpet, be would
take out a "rokey" Ifoggyi looking bit of a
picture, and set it u[>on a chair and store at
it through bis Huger», shaking his bead and
muttering all the while Then—further and
conclusive proof of a yielding Intellect—he
Would get a half sheet of (paper with some
writing on it. end put it on tbs mantelpiece
and stare at that. Bast he would turn it up

then all ways, Ihre be would hold It before a
looking glass, and stare at tbs looking glare
and ao on When asked bow she knew all
this, she confessed mat Jane bail seen it
through the key bole, nut once, hut often.
Uf course, a* the practiced aud discerning
reader will clearly understand, this meant
only that when wnlklug and wearing out the
carpet the colonel waa thinking of Ida, when
conleni|ilutiug the painting she bad glvao
him, he was admiring Iter work and trying
to reconcile hie admiration with his own con
science and hie somewhat (peculiar views of
art. and that when glaring at tha paper he
was vainly endeavoring to make bead or tail
of the message written to bis son on the night
before his execution by Mir James de la Molls
In the reign of Charles 1, and conOdantly be
lieved by Ida to contain a key to the where
abouta of the treasure be was supposed to
have secreted
Of course the tale of this worthy soul, lira
Jobaon. did not lose In tha telling, and when
it reached Ida's ears, which it did at last
through the medium of Cleorgs—for in add!
Uoa tohianumb»rl«w»otb«r function«, (J©org©
wu Um solo authorized purveyor of village
ami country now«— it read that CoL Quart to b
had gone raving mad.
Ten minutes afterward this raving lunatic
arrived at the castle in hie drees dot bee and
hie right mind, whereupon Ida promptly re
pea ted her thrilling history, somewhat to the
subsequent discomfort of Mrs. Jobeou and
Jana.
No one, aa aomebody ones mid, with squat
truth and profundity, knows what a minute
may tiring forth, much less, therefore, does
anybody know what an evening of say two
hundred and forty muiu tes may produce.
For instance, Harold Quarltch—though by
this time ho had goueeo far as to freely ad
mit to himself that he waa utterly and hope
lessly in love with Ida, in love with her with
that settled and determined passion which
sometimes strikes a man or woman in middle
age—certaiuly did not know that before tbs
evening was out he would have declared his
devotion with reaultsthat shall be made clear
in their decent order When he put on his
dress clothes to ooms up to dinner be had no
m/jre intention of profiosiug to Ida than he
bad of not taking them off when be went to
bed. Uis love was deep enough and steady
enough, but perhape it did uot pomess that
wild impetuosity which carries people so far
in their youth, sometime*, indeed, a great
deal further than their reason approve«. It
tially a middle aged devoUon, and
bore the same resemblance to the picturesque
passion of flvoaud-twenty that a snow fed
torrent does to a navigable river The one
niNbe* and roars and sweefa swav the bridges
and devastates happy homes, while the other
(»ears upon its placid breast the Argosies of
p ea c e and plenty, and is generally service
able to the neoeasities of man But, for all
that, there is something attractive about
tor ran to. There is a grandeur in that flrat
mah of paaaioD which raaulta from the tud
den melting of theanowrs of the heart's purity
and faith and high unstained devotion.
But both torrantAood uavigable rivers «re
liable to one common fate, they may fall over
E reci picea, aud when that happens even tha
itter ceaa© to be navigable for a apace. And
that wa* what waa about to hapjwu to our
friend the coiouel.
To bagln with, he had dioad wall, and what

The squire, who of lata had been cheerful aa
a cricket, was Iu bia beat form, aud told long
Kories with ao Infinitesimal point. In any
body else'* mouth these stones would have
been wearisome to a degree, hut there was a
gusto, an originality, and a kind of Tudor
pariod Uavor about the old gentleman which
made his worst and longeât Kory acceptable

the aatulactioa of Ida, who was a witty as

paw that the dinner waa a very plea »uut one.
