I can .harcily explaiia my meaning. But
though I always had Inch a happy life
myself, it touches me keenly to see people
who are very'happy."
Mrs. Hungerford was puzzled. She had
no olew to Melicent's mind. " Why does
the sight of•happinese move you„?" she Bald
ugnely.
BEcause-beeauSe-- there is EO ranch
less happiness than there ought to be." • •
"You have been studying social ques-
tions, and Ikea have made you .dismal,"
said Mrs. Hungerford, with playful seve-
rity, "Don't you know that people who
study misery should neutralize the effects
of study by vigorous aotichi? It is a mis-
take to thiuk. If you study dieease, you
.should be a doctor or it nurse. If you
study orims, you should rescue the children
of the criminal classes. If you study
poverty, you should try to mitigate the
condition of the poor.". ,
"And if you are religious, and. abhor
sin, you should try and reolaim the prodi-
gal," exclaimed the ubiquitous curate from
behind her chair. "'Mrs. Hungerford I
am told yon are an atheist." •
" And Parn toed that you are an atheist,"

" Quite true," adg.uiesced Mrs. Bertrand:

"But many low, :bad people believe

"Yes; they believe :superstitiously in a

. curate. "But I maintain that the striv-
ing after the higheet life testifies to a man's
appreciation of God's holiness and purity'
-and wisdom. The conception of the highest
fife must be the gauge of the cionneption
of God, and the carrying out of our •concep-
tion of the highest life must be the gauge
of the strength of our faith." ,
"And what is . the highest life ?" asked
Melicent.

"1 thought you liked talking to me," said
Louisa, pouting. •
" So I do, Louisa. I like talking to you
better than to any oue else in the world.
But you are always vexed with me if I say
anything particular." •-- —
"1 am vexed with you, Robert,only when
you talk profanely." -
"But 1 don't talk profanely."
"Yee, Robert, you do. Yon talk as if
you thought you were cleverer than the pro-
phets and the patriarchs."- '
"So I am, Louisa. That is, I know more,
about physical science than they did."
"Robert, it ie scandalous to hear you
talk I think you had certainly better
leave Delysford as soon as possible." .
" Oh, Louisa 1 I wish you wouldn't think
so much of the prophets and patriarchs I"
"Robert, your language is monstrous I"
"Then you really wish me to go away,
Louisa?"
"Certainly." '
"-Then go I will.. But when I come to
see my father and mother, may I come and
see -you ?"
"11 you like." r
"And if you should be niarried to some
Delysford fellow-" ,
"Robert,' wish you would not talk of
my marrying a Delysford fellow. It is not
a nice eullject."
" It seems I can't please you in any way,"
he said, eighing.
"Oh, Robert! if you would only be quite
different," she murmured, relenting a little.
" Then_Lithould_not_he_nnyself at ell"
- "-Yee, you would. You would be you,
Only you' would be like a better person.'
" The sarne with a difference," suggested
he. " Louisa, beware of metaphysics 1"
Ilia caution sounded formidable, and it
seemed to Louisa as if he had suddenly
leaped into her place, and that in his turn
he had become her judge, and was accusing
her of something unorthodox and heinous.
She was confused and unhappy, and, he
looked round the room for it means of
escape. She saw Melicent rising to go,
and she rose too,. and made a parade of
eaying good-bye to Mies Du Lys.
" It is pleasant in the fields," she said at
last, with an air of desperation. . •
"Is it ?" said Rene, absently. Yet he
was looking fixedly at her. So, finding
ceremony of no avail, Amy went straight to
the point. •
"Mr. -Du Lys, do you still think of me ?"
she said.
" Still think of you?" he repeated.
"Good heavens 1 think of you night 8,nd

" [.wish youwould cease to think a me."

CHAPTER xy.
When Melicent haa parted with Amy,
she walked back to the town deep in
thought. Her -nobility was struggling to
emancipate itself, but her heart was inani:
mate, her will was clogged. She had no
inclination -for duty=for self sacrifice -for
subnaiEision. She was, indeed, 'forced to
endure. , But -why should she opprees her:
self with 'the fulfilmeTit-OrTiiix -farther
exactions.of an aver-seceitive conrscience?
Her submission had heenuncomplaining,
if millers What need was there for her -
to enabiace' the rigorous tyrannY of inevi-
tablenesix ? -Why should she invent' fos
hereelf duties which dimmer eyes would
not even have seen? Why should she
impose upon herself a sacrifice of which
accident alone had rendered her papable?
• It was nearly six-,otalock, and het shadow
feu long before her. Th'e air was crisp and.
chill. she thought of the empty house at
Belmont:and of the fateful, weir. "Oh,
niy darling!" she thought. " I'cannot be
angry with you. Why -why ,Wae life so
cruel to you, andto me?" . -- - - --Mehot's heart was very full. She felt
as if it.must burst. Even at thaa moment,
when a gieat sacrifice seemed to be taking
posseseion of her, tuuadltuously selfish
Submiesion-duty-sacrifice-she half re-
peated to herself, and she thought of the
love of which Dr. Hungerford had spoken.
And did she not love Rene? did she not
idolize him?
She leaned her hem' against the shutter,
and pressed her cold‘fingere over her burn -
jos iloogungeuhYeae:de '‘ia !a: 341 „ws oa:,11 111 Bar t ed. t Her hpas.ad
The room was quite dark when she stole
bitok to her brother's side. He had not
stirred or spoken for an hour.
"Reno, dear, male and get ready for din -
nen'?
"Yes, dear."
- He spoke kindly as was his wont, but his
tone was thati of utter dejection, Yet she
dared not bid him be of geed cheer, for he
ehould win Amy, and not loge Delysford.
Her crowning sacrifice must be to -hde the
•sacrifice she was about to Make. •
That night Melicent Wrote a letter which
she posted with her own hands early the
following morning. This is what she wrote:
" DEAR MR. FREMAINE,-I know that you
have not forgotten the question which lies
between us, awaiting -as you said -my
-answer. • You said when you asked it -that
you would do anything -CO iii1ne.1 am
ready to answer it- now. Only grant me
tide one favor. Give Amy to my brother
unconditionally, and I 13,111 yOUTS, unre-
servedly, and always,
MEracENT Du Lys."
SO Fremaine lost the game after all, and
the old prophecy WaB fulfilled, that the
wiles of woman should circumvent the
serpent. . •
CHAPTER XVI.
Eiily in the spring Raert-Plaillote
returned from Yorkshire to see his father
and mother. He had been away but a few
months, but mealy changes had tranepirecl.
in his absence. Mr. Boatock had departed,
and Mr: 11/1arable's nephew was curate in
his Stead. Delysmere and the Retreat had
recently changed mistreesee. Delysford
had lately seen two weddings.
Miss Fremaine's wedding had been mag-
nificent. Splendor had been befitting to it.
Thebride was young and. pretty, and she
had married the greatest man in Delysford,
who was, besides, handsome and young
himself. Miss Du Lys's nuptials had been
celebrated -in a much quieter fashion. But
its simplicity had bean becoming, For her
bridegroom had been twice her age and a
widower, and no extraneous ponap could
add to her innate dignity and lotielineas.
The excitement_ which had prevailed
among the Delysfordians had been great,
and it did not yeti slumber. The sound of
marriage -bells seemed- still to linger in the
air. No one spoke of aught but weddings.
The subject of matrimony occupied a pro-
truinent place in the familiar tete-a-tete and
in wider. convivialities. • Marriage was.the
universal topic.
The theme did not displease the young
doctor. He was glad to find Delysford
aglow with the fire of Cupid. He liked
nothiug liatter than to ensconce himself in
a quiet cosier beside Louisa Philland, and
listen to he* lively descriptions of the two
bridals. •
-"I wonder who will be the next bride
and bridg,roona," he said lab last. ,
"1 wondisr, too," acquiesced 'Louisa,
blushing al i ttle.
