To aelebelp of any one was " out of the question. He had, indeed, been reamed to actual begging once, but that had been for Esperanoe and under the conviotion that she would die if he did not • force himself to do it ; in this case she was not so greatly affected, and for himself he could not beg. What had he done for a year he oould go on with, he argued with hiniself. The semi-etarvation had not killed him yet, he would struggle On, and wait in the hope that some other work might be found whioh would not require snoh en outlay. Poor Gaspard how many times that day he arrived at the same con- clusion, and how he fought against it 1 The privations whioh he was bearing eo patiently Beamed unbearable for the future, now that he had had a hopeuf release. He faced all the trials his poverty had brought him, as he had never allowed himself to do before, and saw all too plainly how much his bodily strength was beginning to fail ; he remembered the dap of ceaseless toil he had borne during the siege, and thought how a walk of two or three miles would exhaust him now, and loathed the thought. , Then he grew angry with himaelf for not having remembered the expenses of the voyage_during his interview with Sey- mour, and wondered with a vague misery if his menses were deserting him, as *ell as bis strength, turning sick at the thought of this failing of his powers. What would the end be if he waited mut% longer ? There could be only one answer to that question, and Gaspard could not repress a shudder.

CHAPTER XXIII. The dean was not plasma when he heard that Gaspard was'coming to Rilohester. He bed grown accustomed to Esperanoe'd face, and was even in his way rather fond of her, but Gaspard had reminded him painfully of M. de Mabdlon, and he shrunk from seeing him. Cornelia's proposal of asking him to stay at the deanery, instead of the hotel, met with approval from no one. The dean immediately thought of other visitors whom he wished to aek. Mre. Mortlake talked of house-cleaning, and finally George Palgrave was pressed to pro- long his visit, while the other guest -rooms were destined for the wife .and daughters of the bishop of a neighboring' diocese, who were coming to Itilehester for a ball in the following week. There was no partionlar reason why they should be asked to the deanery, but Mrs. Mortlake remembered them in a luoky moment, and felt 'that it would be a more dignified exam° than house-cleaning. Cornelia hated this meanness with her whole soul, and almost shrunk from meet- ing Gaspard after it. This made her seem more stiff and cold than ever, and Eerier - anon, who had relied a good deal upon her cordial behavior to Gaspard, when she had met him before in London, was dismayed to find her manner altered. Mra.- Mortlake, on the contrary, did her very belt to be polite when his name was mentioned in Esperanoe's presence, and even spoke of driving him back from the station on the day when he was expected; and though the carriage did not appear, still there was courtesy in the suggestion, and, en Mrs. Mortlake remarked afterward to Cornelia, " Politeness is worth so much, and costs so little." "1 don't see any politeness if you. don't mean to carry out the suggestion," said Cornelia, bluntly. " My dear, you are so literal 1 Of course I can't really spare the oarriage then, the Lowdelle must have a drive this afternoon.

One mud be careful, you know, and father is so unguarded." " My father is no hypocrite, at least," said Cornelia, angrily. " Why did you ask the Lowdells here if you are so afraid they may guess ?-why not have Gaspard de Mabillon ? " (TO be continued). This, however, Gaspard• deolined without hesitation, nor would he even aooept e proffered oigar ; to be under en obligation was to him only bearable when Esperanoe was in some way concerned.
