L. J, BEAM:1W.1A. SIR HUGH'S LOVES. And it wee for this that she had come back to him through The Valley of the Shadow of Death," bringingher baby with her. Some strange feverish power seemed to enter into her and give her a fitful strength. She sat down at her husband's desk and began writing rapidly, and as the thoughts came to her; and when she had finished, oho enclosed her letter with the torn, frag- ment, and, after addressing it, sealed it carefully. As she did so she heard foot- steps approaching the library, and slipped it hurriedly into the open drawer, and the next moment Sir Hugh entered with a tele- gram in his hand. "1 have been looking all over the place for you, Fay," he began, hurriedly; "and not a soul seemed to know where you were. Look here; I have just had this telegram from Fitz. He wants me to come up to town at once. I believe we have to start earlier than we intended." And as Fay seemed to have no answer ready, he went on—" I am so vexed about it, my pot, for I meant to have driven you over to Pierrepoint after luncheon; you looked so pale this morning, and I had to arrange about so many things. Well, it cannot be helped; Raville is packing my Gladstone,' and 1 have not it moment to lose." "Do you mean you are going off toEgypt now?" asked Fay, hardly able to articulate—her lips had grown quite white. What if she should be too late after all! ," Egypt, indeed! What a child you are, Fay; one can never make you understand things. No, I am going up to London to get what I want, and meet Egerton and Powis, the other fellows who are to join us. I shall sleep at the Club to.night, and you may expect me to be down to dinner to- morrow. The next day—" here he hesi- tated ; 'well, there is time enough to talk of saying good-bye then." ' Yes, yes, I understand now. Go and get ready; and, Hugh, don't forget to kiss baby." "All right," he laughed good-humoredly; and then Fay stood quite still, holding the table, till he came back. " My traps are in the hall; I must say good-bye quickly, darling." How hand- some, how well he looked, as he stooped over her with his plaid over his arm. He need not be fearful of her detaining him; there was no clinging, no agony of , weeping this time. She put hertwo hands round his neck and held him for a moment, as her cold lips touched his, and then stood quite still and waved to him—sadly, quietly —froni the window as he 'drove past, and that was all. CHAPTER XXXII. " SOOD-BYE—GOOD-13YE." I never will look more into your face Till God says, "Look 1" I charge you, seek me not, Nor vox yourself with lamentable thoughts That peradventure I have come td grief. Be sure I'm well, I'na merry, l'ra at ease, But suoh a long way, long way, long way off, I think you'll find mo sooner in my grave, And that's nay choice—observo. B. D. Browning Fay had made up her mind to be lost. Could any one imagine anything so utterly gnorant and childish, and yet so pathetic? She was going to lay down her wifely rights and steal away, friendless and unprotected, into the great lonely world, ad that Hugh might come back to his old home in peace. With tho rash impulse of despair—of it despair that hoped nothing and feared nothing—she was taking the most terrible step that it young creature could take. She was doing evil that good might come ; she was giving up herself in complete renuncia- tion and self-sacrifice in obedience to a miserable and mistaken idea. If she had been older; if her simplicity of character had been less childish, and her worldly knowledge greater, she must surely have hesitated before taking a step that must anger as well as grieve her husband. How would Sir Hugh's haughty spirit brook the publicity and the nine days' wonder of the world when they knew that his wife, Lady Redmond -4h° successor of all the starched and spotless denies svho hung in the old gueet.chambers—should so forget herself and him: as to tarnish his reputation by .an act so improper and incredible. He might forgive his spoilt trip and all the trouble that awaited him in his empty home ; but how will he ever bring himself to forgive that? But Fay, poor mistaken child, thought of none Of these things. She only felt that she must go and take her baby With her. There was no time to be lost, and she nuiat make all her plans very Fay's Will was it strong onethere wad no fear that she Would falter in her purpese ; but she heStet reffiernbered afterwards how she carried it out, Or from salience earne * the Strange feverish energy that supported her. She was working in it dream, in it nightmare, in it horrible impatience to be gone—to be gone—where? But even this question Was aniiWored before really horns wore, over, for s49 was to 4.1440 hor poor Ifttio1310,41.4 with the ntP1Pet preeiiii90In - the quiet evening time, as she paced rest, lessly through the empty teems, she thought of a place of refuge where she might rot safely for it little. The moment the carriage had turned the corner, and she could Pee it no longer, she had taken the letter from the drawer and laid it on the table. Such an innocent, pitiful little letter it Was- " Darling Hugh," it began, "do not be angry with me when you C41110 back to- morrow and find your Wee Wide has gone. What could I do—how could I stay any longer after reading your words. Indeed, I think I tiould have borne anything but this. No, this olio thing I could net bear—that you should leave your home and country to free yourself from me. " You must go,' you say of course it must be you," Darling, do you not know me better than that? " I felt you could not love me, Hugh ; but have I ever blamed you in my heart? I was too ohildish and young for such a man as you. Whydid you marry me, dear—that Was a great mistake. But perhaps you saw I lilted you. "I tried so hard to please you, but some- how I always failed. And then the baby carne—our baby—and you.dia not care for him mid then, indeed, I thought nay heart would break. I wonder if you know how I have loved you? I was not too young for that, though you thought I was. I never lay down to sleep without praying God to bless my dear husband, and sometimes— was it very childish of me, I wonder?—I put baby's hands together and made believe he was praying too. "1 think if you knew what I suffered, when they thought I was dying, and the angels would not come for me; I think —yes, I do think, Hugh—you would have been sorry for me then. " Good-bye, my darling—I shall never call you that again, for I am going away for ever. You must not trouble about me, for I shall take great care of myself, and after it,time I shall not fret so much. I shall lake my baby—he cannot do with- out me, and I love him so. When he ie older I will send him back to you. He is so like you ' dear—a Redmond all over—and his eyes will remind me of you. "1 shall say good -by to you very quietly. When I try to:speak there is a dreadful lump in my throat that seems to choke me ; and I feel as though 1 could blush with shame for being so little and insignificant inYour eyes. You are like it king to me, Hugh ; so grand, and noble, and proud. Oh, what made you marry me ? You did wrongthere, darling, did you not? " Good-bye'good-bye. I shall be quite lost. Do net look for mo; only give me a thought now and then—onekind and gentle thought of your Wee Wide." She read throughtheletter dry-eyed, and kissed it, and laidit onthe table. It would touch his hands, she thought. Later on she unsealed it, and added a short post- script. " Do not be anxious," it said ; " I am going to some kind people who will be good to mo and the boy." She had placed the letter where Hugh would see it at once and then she went upstairs. She wanted to have her baby in her arms, that its touch might lull the deadly faintness at her heart; and when she felt a little better she sent for Mrs. Heron and Janet. Sir Hugh had gone off to London, she told them ; they had telegraphed for him, and she was to follow him immediately. She would take her luggage with her, of course, for she did not intend to return to the Hall before going down into Devon- shire ; but they would see Sir Hugh again for a few hours—he would probably run up the following evening to give his third orders. And would she be long away? asked Mrs. Heron. She thought my lady looked very ill, and required a thorough change. " Yes," returned Fay, quickly; but she turned away as she spoke. She should most certainly be away all the time Sir Hugh was in Egypt. Janet must set to work at once, for they would have to start early. And then she explained that the cottage at Daintree was very small, and Sir Hugh had begged her to dispense with Janet's services, and only take nurse. Janet looked very disappointed when Fay said this, for she adored her gentle little mistress. I don't know what master is thinking about," she grumbled, in confidence, to Mrs. Heron. "This new nurse has only been here six weeks, and does not know my lady's ways. And who will wait on her, I should like to know, if I am to be left behind? but this is all of a piece with his selfish- ness." But she worked with it will for all that, and all tho time her boxes were ,being packed, Fay wandered about with her baby on her arm collecting her little treasures, and droppipg them in the boxes as she passed. Now it was a book Hugh had given her, or it picture, or the withered flower he had worn in his button -hole; an odd glove ho had left on his dressing -table, and which she clutched with the greediness of a miser; and even a silk handkerchief he had worn round Ms neck—she put them all in. Such a strange little assortment of odds and ends. Janet thought she was daft. , And she would have none of her evening dressee packed up, or indeed any of her Costly ones—she would not require them in the country, she said, quietly; but she would have all her jewels—not those Hugh had given her, or the old family jewels that had been reset for her, but those that had belonged to her mother, and were exceed. ingly valuable; there was a pearl necklace that was worthfive hundred pounds. Hugh had drawn out a large sum of money that he had given in charge to her—he meant to have loft it for domestic expenses svhile ha was away. Fay wrote out a receipt, and put it with her letter. It would be no harm to keep it, she thought ; Hugh could help himself to her money. There would be enough to keep her and the boy fed' more than a year, and after that she could sell her necklace. Silo was rich, but how was Olio to draw any more money without being traced to her hiding -place. The last sot before the daylight ciceed was to go to the stables and bid Bonny Besd goodo.bye. The groom, who know that he was to follow in it feW days with Bonny Bess and another horse—for Sir Hugh had been Very mindful of his wifeli corefort — Wag rather Surprised to See' her kissing tho mare's glossy neeki as though She &mid ' not bear to part with her; when she had /eft the etehlee, Npro, ho ltd followed 14er about all day With it instinctive dread of some impending plui e, looked up in her feet? wistfully. "Do you Want to PPM w.ith Me? $Pre she asked, sadly; " pop fellow, you will fret yourself to death ithout me. Yes, you shell come with mo;. we will go to Rowan -Glen together." For all at once the thought had come to her of a beautiful spot in the Highlands where she and her father had atayed many years ago. If she remainad in England, Hugh would find her, and she had a dread of going abroad. Besides, what could she do with baby, for of couragehe must leave nurse behind; she would kayo to engage it stranger who did not know she was Lady Redmond. And then she bethought her- self that she would call laeiself by her hus- band's second name pt. Clair—she would be Mrs. St. Clair. . Yes, she and her father had had a very happy time at Rowan -Glen. They had been to Edinburgh, and lo the Western Highlands, and had then made their way to Aberdeen, as Colonel Morclaurat had some old Indian friends there; and, as they had still some weeks to spare, they hadcome down to the Deeside, and had fallen in love with Rowan-Gien. But they could not obtain allodging in one of the cottages, so the mane opened its hospitable doors to them. Th4 minister, Mr. Duncan, was old, and so wi4 his wife, and they had no children; so, as hero was room and to spare, and their iruome was somewhat scanty, the good old pe ple were quite willing to take in Colonel lordaunt and his little daughter. Fay had orgotten their existence until now; but oh remem- bered how kind Mrs. Duncan ha been to her; and she thought she would o to her, and tell her she was married nd very unhappy, and then oho woul let her and baby stop there quietly in ti old grey house. Nobody ever came there, for iey were quiet folk, and Mr. Duncan was invalid; and there was a dear old room, 1 king out on the old fashioned garden, here her father had slept, that would just o for her and baby. Fay had a vague sort of feeling that her strength would not last very long and that by and by ole would want to b cared for as well as the baby. Her p r brain was getting confused, and she coul not sleep —there was so much to plan befo the next d v. Ah, what a night that was. I had not been for the soft breathing of her nfant in the darkness, Fay must have sere med out in her horror, as thoughts of the desolate futnre came over her; and yet it s easier for her to go away than to stay on a the Hall an unloved wife—a millstone roun ier hus- band's neck. When Janet called her at the pr she found her up and dressed and her baby's toilet. " Here, Janet," she said, with an laugh, "1 don't think I am pu .baby's. things very nicely, but I try, so nurse let me; but he cries that he confuses my head." And gave him up and went wandering the rooms, saying a silent good-bye thing; and last of all she went into band's library. Ellerton found her thefrstcr-3. n i um- moned her to breakfast. She would ome in a minute, she said, quietly; show only arranging Sir Hugh's papers as he lil d to have them. Yes, ole knew the ca iage would be round directly; but Ellerto need not fear that she would be late. An hen, when the old servant had closed th oor, she went up to her husband's, chair, can- ing over it and embracing it with he two arms, while she rested her cheek ainst the carved ebony batik. "This is wl re he will sit this evening," she said. "Go. -bye, Godbless you, dear; and then she 11 the room. But she would eat nothing, an only asked for her baby. But just before a got into the carriage, she called Mrs. He to her, and bade her take care of the aged people at the Pierrepoint almshouse and see they had their little packe of tea and grocery as usual; and then she shook hands with he and Ellerton. "Good-bye to you all," faltered th poor child hurriedly. "You have bee • good friends to me, all of you. Good-bye ood- bye ; and then she drew her, veil ov her face, and leant back in the ca lege, while Nero licked her little un oved hand. Sir Hugh had sworn to love and erish her until death, andyet he had brou t her to this. The journey was a very ehort o ; but nurse afterwards remembered the. Lady Redmond did not appear surprised when they arrived at Easton, to find tltt Sir Hugh was not waiting at the ition. " What are we to do, my lady? " ohtsked ratherhelplessly, for she was younijtnd a country woman, and the din and stle wore overwhelming to her; but Va was helping te identify her luggage, and aia not answer. She told nur to go into the waiting -room with by, and she woula come to her pres tly. And then she had her luggage put on a cab. 'Nurse," she said, quickly, whei she came back a few minutes afterwards, vill you give me baby a moment, and go the refreshment room—it is just a littkjvay down the station. I Should like some nd- wiches and sponge -cakes, and perhap ou had better get some for yourself, th4o is plenty of time;" and the woman o ecl her at once.

When the inquiries were set afloat, the porter certainly remembered the little lady and baby and the big black dog,birt he had not heard her instructions to the °skean, Fey only took her ticket to 'York; she dated not go straight to her destination. When she arrived there she would not put upat the station libtel, but had herself driven to a quiet little hotel for the night. It was an unpretending place, kept by honest folk; but Fay found herself very comfortable. She made some excuse about not bringing her nurse and the chamber- maid helped her dress baby. She PM almost too stupefied with grief and fatigue by this time to do anything but sleep help- lessly; but she made the girl promise to Pall her early, and ordered a fly to the station; and when the morning came she got into it without telling any one where she was going, and took the mid-day train for Edin- burgh. It would be impossible to describe the nuree's feelings when she opened the packet in the waiting room and read her mistress's note. "Dear nurse," it said, "1 am really very sorry to treat you so badly, but I can- not help it. I have gone away with baby, and I could not take you. Please go back to Singleton by the next train; you will find your box on the platform, and the por- ter will help you. Sir Hugh will tell you what to do when he arrives this evening.— Your affectionate mistress, F. Redmond." And enclosed were two months' wages. In apite of heryouth, Fay had excellent business capabilities, only her husband had never found them out. But unfortunately for the bewildered household at Redmond Hall, Sir Hugh never arrived that evening. First oame a hazy telegram, informing them of a change of programme, and later on it special mes- senger came limn from him bringing a letter from Sir Hugh—a very affectionate farewell letter. Fitzclarance had acted on impulse as usual, and he and Sir Hugh had started that very night, leaving Powis and Egerton to follow them. (To be continued.) Scholarships for Canadian Universities. Robert Brace, a market gardener, who lived on the St. Foy road, at Quebec, died a few weeks since at the age of 90, leaving a, fortune of momo. His three daughters, all above middle age, have no children; only one of them, indeed, is married. To them he leaves the interest of his money during their lives; but on their death, without issue, the fund is to be vested in a trust consisting of the principals, or presi dents, ex -officio, of Morin College, Que bee; Dalhousie College, Halifax; Bishop's College, Lennoxville ; McGill University, Montreal; Queen's University, Kingston; Toronto University and Manitoba College, Manitoba, to establish bursaries and scholarships, of the annual value respec- tively of $25 and $100 each, to be called "The Robert Bruce Bursaries and Scholar- ships." The holders must be matriculated students of one or other of the universities named, actually pursuing a regular course of study in arts or science. The scholar - grips are to be divided into two classes, one for candidates at matriculation, and the other for third year's men. A G. T. R. Brakeman Saves a Lady's Life. Wm. Jepson, of Niagara Falls, a Grand Trunk brakesman, has been tangibly rewarded by the company for his presence of mind in saving the life of a lady passenger at Prairie siding one day last week. The Pacific Express passes the accommodation at that point, but the former does not stop. The lady was stepping off the accommodation, and, not noticing the approaching express, was standing on the track. Jepson took in the perilous situation at a glance and caught her by the cloak and pulled her back. Her escape from instant death was very narrow, and, as it was, she was severely injured by a blow from the cowcatcher of the express engine. a Heaviest Truss in the World. The first truss of the Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) bridge was swung into position on the 711 inst.

LAIrRsY RAILWAY NEWS. An APPllanee to .rrerint Aecjdetets fr911!, .X44tvlulf SwItchee Oren - Some time since N. E. Springsteen, Michigan Passenger Agent of the Erie ItaYWP7, eeoered A patent on P railreit4 switch of his invention. The appliance is designed to prevent the accidents which occur almost daily through the carelessness of employees in leaving switches open. The models were submitted to a number of railroad men, inclnding Chief Engineer Masson, of the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railway, and licrat once ordered one put on at Pontiao for the purpose of testing its adaptability. It is so constructed that the movement of the train of cars operating on a cam placed on the outer side of the rail controls the switch, closing it if it has been left orlon and looking it as well. A test was made on Thursday on the main line at Pontiao. Four engines were used on the main line. The switch was left open and the engineer tested its working, run- ning at a speed of from 8 to 22 miles an hour. It worked to perfection, and on Monday next a party of local railway mag- nets will go to Pontiac to witness another test. A company will at onco be formed to manufacture the switch. Twenty-two miles of grading have been completed on the Northwest Central Railway. To -day's News Notes.
