If she could have crept out at night, she would have walked over the sough, wet countrythat stretched, between the nnant' r crud iiipstene , barefooted, to offer her love, heir, syinpauhy.. to Dorothy; but escape for an hour wasimpos- sible, mpos= sibl andhadi so she to l a ewe day y atter day burdened with suspense wind self-reproach added to all her wither troubles, She had a a 1 the insults a l vasa and miseries white Crewshaw put upon her as pert of the see!rifice demanded for her uncle's Safety; and knowing this, she made no ixnt, e+lally vw'ezy flaw eed hien, whezi goaeled and tired be- ,yoiid turc-tnee, the wild thought earn e to her to resists it all --to appeal to this man's gEinrerGs* ity, his heart, if be possessed. einem, ..and entreat him to be more merci ful, to lighten her dark path: if eve .so little, But she never did this.

And Crawshaw knew this was no melodramatic, empty throart.. Them was an intensity, a. quiet passion about the girl ass she uttered it which told him she meant every word. When he had realized this he had vowed to himself that, carte lehat may, lie would yet break her stubborn will, her disgust and hat- red of himself, and bring her hum- bled at last to the dust at his feet. Only one gleam of pleasure carne to NTancy out of all this grim dark- ness—the thought that her uncle was safe and happy. Yes, actually `happy at Iast, for Dr. Grantley had written, telling her that he had heard from Henry Chaplin, giving news of himself. •and his wife. The latter was returning to England at once, but Nancy's uncle had made friends with some scientific and lit- erary men, who found his brain and information so useful that they 'Lad offered him the post of secre- tary to some society in Melbourne,` which not only gave ; him a salary, but sent him into the seventh'heav- en of delight. 'This letter had reached Nancy the, very morning' on which Derrick Darnley had started - off for his walk with the : dogs; and;having„ escaped Fenton's'lynx eyes, she made her way to a quiet nook in the lonely woods to read it over and indulge in almost the first faint gladness she had felt for months. "Poor uncle—dear uncle ! she said to herself, with tears in her blue eyes. "I have saved him and made him. happy. Does he ever think of me,�' 1 wonder'? Does he ever realize what 1 have done'? But 1 won't let myself doubt him. _; He loves me --he will never forget me l;, But all the same the. poor girl's aching heart longed for some warm weed of love and greeting from the man '\vho had indirectly been the eause of all her trouble. She had folded the letter up and put it away, in her:pocket, and then had sat with bent head thinking, wondering in the old, sad fashion -till the dogs has franc death -there her no .answter, sand her -eon- had rushed upon her, and with a great start and a mingled sense of fear, ecstatic delight and deep `sor- l 1 l h and CHAPTER XXII.

Dorothy, too, apparently, deriv- ed not only pleasure but health from her cousin's presence; her cheeks lost their: wan look, her. golden curls wore no longer dis- hevelled, her pretty, dainty figure was fresh and trim, anct matched her lovely face; indeed, every one in the house declared Miss Dorothy to be her old self. and one andsall united with the girl in delighting in Mr. Darnley's appearance; that is, all except Aunt Priscilla, Coun- tess of Merefield. To• her Derry' was nothing nior�e nor less than an obstructionist. Why should he be Isere and Mere - field be away'?'It was altogether wrong! So opined Merefield's mother to herself, ` and as Mr. Darnley had an unpleasant habit of diving be- neath Lady Merefield's evangelical surface and exposing the very un- deniable worldliness that.existed there, she may. be forgiven for not altogether loving him. ° She had not only.just recovered from ler ,annoyance over the ques- tion of Nancy Hamilton and • Sir, :Ilumpllrey's most quixotic dealings with the girl, when another trou- ble came in the dogged determina- tion of her son'to depart for' a lengthened sojourn in foreigni,parts, and on the top of that and the real anxiety to'do Lady Merefio]d jus- tice she had some affection for her half-brother—about .Six Humphrey came. this visit of Derrick Darnley. while her son Was miles away add not able to make any stand against this moat dangerous 'young ;roan.
