The lover was evidently at a loss how to commence a conversation. During the long, sleepless night, he had revolved in his mind all that Vernon had said, and which his own ob servations tended to confirm ; but balanc ing against these the loVo aud devotedness which Caroline had ever manifested for him, ho came to tlio conclusiou that his friend and liimself had wronged her by their suspicious.

In a state of almost clesporation he paced the streets until, with out knowing how ho had reached it, he found himself near his hotel. Several days passed.
