Robert Jardine was very near to Lilian, so near that his breath touched her check, al suddenly becoming conscious that his eyes dwat on hers eagerly, she raised her own, and met his gaze with the confidence of assured love.
It would be rather interesting la Leddy Margot, don't you think so, Liliane said, his face relaxing into a half smile. Only I supporo there in small likelihood of her appearing to us in the broad day. Some night, perhaps, we will manage to chent Miss Rachel, n we have cheated her this morning, and take a midnight stroll along the cliffs. You would not be afraid to come here along with mor
"No," she answered shyly. I would go with you anywhere without fear,"
My darling, you can trust me then so much," he returned passionately. Would to heaven I hid it in my power at this very moment to take you away for aver from your present miserable life, but till my position with my aunts is more secure than it is now-I um bound land and foot.
But my life is not now miserable," added Liban with shining eyes, "and will never again be so long as you remain here in St. Love, where I can see you almost every day."
And if so little yields you each happiness, Talian, what will it be for us both whan we are free to claim each other-till-bath parts she continuod passionately. "The desire to haston matters, overrules me almost at times, and I have to keep a tight grip of myself. Penniless as i at present am, I would not have darod to ask you to shore my life had I not know that my aunts' patrimony, once secured would make ne independent for all time. Strange to say, thny-are-stil-haunted with the idea that I am not their nephew, but given a fow more mouths to establish their faite in me-all will bo weil. You at least, my darling, know me to be anything but an impostor.
Poor Lilian! Her trust in the man who had won her love was so implicit that not a doubt shadowed it. The upward glance of hor lovely eyes proved this wholly, and if no qualm touched is conscience at that moment. he was eren more utterly base than he was afterwards red to be.

CHAPTER III.
It was as Mira Rachel had toll. George Stapleton the would-be Robert Jardine--had fled the place, and whother detorred by shame, or foar of further discovery, without seeking even a brief interview with the girl whose love he bud won. Miss Rachel's suspicions wero aroused by the manner in which hor niece had received the news of his treachery, but with the wisdom of the serpent, she kept her own counsel in the matter.
At the first Lilian's faith in her lover received terrible shock, and she recoiled almost from the thought of ever seeing him again, but too soon such feelings passed, and a passionate yearning for the love which had been like nectar to her thirsty soul, dominated every other thought and feeling. What hid it matter, she a ked herself wildly, though he was base and treacherous to others, if only he was true to her and if he sought her, she would stand by him against the world, careless of all slame, and tearloss of the fature. One week passed, another and yet another, and still she clung to the hope that despite his long silence he had not forgotten her a hope which strangely enough, was finally satisfied, One morning a letter came to her from Goorge Stapleton, containing, after many expressions of undying love, these lines and baring done my utmost prove how great is my love for you, can you trust mu, as you said:

The next five days came and wout all too slowly for her whose whole being throbbed with feverish anxisty lest any new then of events should change the prospect before her, But the appointed night came at last.
Sickness and languor had so often overcome her during the past few weeks, that it was not difficult to feign both on this ocvasión, and retire to her own room shortly after nine.

Rouching the lower at length, she looked about eagerly, hoping to find her lover already on the spot, but there was no sign of living thing any where in sight, and as she paced restlessly to and fro, pooring about her in the darkness, a new dread took hold of her-the thought of Lady Margot's ghost. How strange that the memory of Lady Margot should not have occurred to har before, whe thus far their fates were so similar? Ab, surely, no such terrible end awaited her, as had befallen the Lady Margot!
Why did hor lover not came ? It must be past the appointed hour, and she felt that she could not bear the dread loneliness of the place. a moment longer. What silent figure was that moring towards her now, robed in a long trail- ing cloak-act her lover, but a woman, the ghost of the Lady Marget! With a shrill cry of torror she stepped backwards, not knowing how neut she alreadly stood to the edge of the cliffs. Another stop, and yet noother, despite the warning cry of the advancing figure, and the next monent. the son beneath had opened its dark bosom to receive her.

Woman, you lio-it is you who have driven her to death cried George Stapleton passion- ately, " d before you quit this earth you shall pay the dice of her life, and my soul's weal.”
Miss Rachel put out her hands as if in wild protest, and Goorge Stapleton, turning then with sudden haste, left ber alone, with her conscience.
