he trifles netvcinsiy with a paper kuil'e
that lies beneath hi,i hand.
'You di,trese me," he said at length,
Addressing both the suitors. 'I hardly
linos)" what to say. Of course, I shall
tell any *deter of the honor you leave
(1011e her, and—anti—you mast abide
by her (1,cieiflu. But it grieves ale to
kuow that oue ofs'oue-,must—'
'kbo lotuses, and nuounsciunsly eta his
emberr.temeut, he fixes his eyes ou
Dugdale. Clive groans inwardly; to
hiul it is a simple matter, the 1rattbltL-
tion of that regretful look, the finishing
of that broken sentence. 'Otte of you
lutist go to the wren—anal you,Dug(lale,
nee the man,' So he reads it. The
brother, knowing well the si=ster's feel-
ngs, lied thought ki 'idly to give bin)
gentle warning fur What is surely in
store for him. That glance was au i11
omen ! Well 1 well! He throws up
his head iu angry dt:fiauce of cruel fate,
.aud draw his breath a little hard.
At this moment a light and well
known step crossing the ball nut -
side neakee itself heard. It conies near-
er; the door is thrown open, and tiler -
boa, fresh and sweet as the 'perfumed
flowers iu her hands, steeds upon the
threshold.
'Why, what a solemn conclave,' slie
ssys, jestingly. 'Whet long, tong faces 1
I:ut that the silence of the grave seem, -
to reign. I should say you were all in-
dulging iu tt battle royal. What is it,
George ?' laying her had hand Upon
his bhoulder wi ll a soft, careseiug
touch. '
Tatting clown the hand, Carew hopes
it closely to hid own and regards it witli
t,ileut scrutiny for full a minute. Then
.glanciug at the ttto men, he says, ae
though decided :—
'a1y sister is here—she will speak
for herself. Clarissa, Sir Wilfred
Hauglhtou and Olive Dugdale nib') to
tell you—that they --love yon ; they
have corse this afternoon to ask your
hand in marrit:ge. It is for ,you to ei-
ther refuse them both—or—Bunke your
choice between thele.
Ile has evoke!) disj,•inlly, but to the
purl ose. Clarissa, grnttiug white as
tue trembling lilies in her fingers,
shrinks away frutu bite, and letting her
flowers hill, euvera her face with her
handl.
'011 1 why have you done this?' cries
she ; 'it is tortible— it is cruel--'
'No --.it is the wisest counts,' whisp-
ers be, hurretlly. 'It will cud at once
all doubt ante suspense. Believe me it
is better so—and kinder.
Looking up, she glances Bret at Sir
\'irilfred, who is evidently auxions, lint
l•erliape a tittle too assnred--uteri tim-
idly at Ditdale, who is rather iu the
background, with his hsad bent Joa'n-
viari, laud his hands crossed upon his
breast. Feeling the intensity of her
regard, he raises hie head, and meets
her gaze full. In his eyes there fs a
world of eurrowiug, a paasiouate regret,
a dumb agony, sad through its hope
less lunging.
'Clarissa 1' says Ilaughton, entrear
Keely, attempting to take her hand.
'No, no!' she exclaims, haetiiy, wav
tug him back, her heart beating pain-
fully.. Ther, 'Clive, will you not speak
to rne ?' she says, moving a stop or two
iu his direction.
The effect was:electric. At her words
Dugdale starts violently, the sadness
disappears, and 111 its place a great
gleeen of joy arises mud illumines his
face. Yet even now he hardly dares to
believe iu las own gond fortune.
Going up to Iter, he imprisons her
herds. and wales, in a voice so charged
she ec,t,efly lino Ars it to be hie:--
'Am 1 your choice ?'
'Yes,' faintly.
'You love in f, 01.u'issa ?' elinost ve•
Hebb en11y.

t r 1 bYO=
tber'n presence, nr flint of his dioem-
n •r'ted rival, catches her in his arras ;
and with a sub,she )etys her head upon
Lis beefed.
Leaving Weston about two hours late•
er, he has just reached the entr,.vnee
gate, when he feuds himself, for the
second time to -day, from to face witb
the valiant Major, evidently bent on
sl augh ter.
'You see I have kept my word.' says;
the warrior, iieroely ; 'I nun not to be
frightened, even from a frown from
Venus 1 I have come to reason Clarissa
about this talked of engegernont.l
'There is no need. I can tell you all
about it.'
'Well,' impatiently.
'Itis only too true. She is going to
he married.'
'And who, pray, told you that pretty:.
piece of uewe ?'
'T heard it front hor own lips.'
'Yon don't say no 1' exclaims the Ma-
jor, staggered : then plunking up his
ennrage ngain, he nclvnnoes a step. 'All
the more cause why 1 should interfere.'
he enys, with much determination.
'1 am afraid it will bo too late. She
and he seers very mush nttaohed• tc
each other. I nal almost sure she will
not give Mini up.'
'She will when I prove to her what a
despicable scoundrel he is ; and open
her eyes a bit about his doings in Lon-
don.'
'Ole, 1Iajr,r 1 that T could live to hear
you say such things 1'
'Say them! 1 have said them a thou-
sand times, and I say them again. I
tell you;tbe man she is bent on tnarry-
ing is a villaiu of the deepest dye !'
Duednle laughs.
'Ah 1 you may make a joke of it:,
Dngdale ; she is nothing to yon, of
coarse; yon don't care nbont her fut-
ure hal'diness, poor child ! but I do,
mot I can't Fee her enter on such a
wretched utarriage without feeling
grief.' "
'I don't think,' says Clive, modestly,
it. Rill he a wretched marriage.'
'I hope you may be forgiven,' ejacu-
lates the Major, solemnly. 'Well,' in
an offended tone, ' I shall co and ful-
fill my duty, anti see what I Can do.'
'Don't pot an end to the engngement
1laj •r,' t'xelai ne Olive, in a torte of af-
feeted dismay ; 'hecanee, if von rlo, yon
will snake Dierissa and—and me cter-
nelly miserable.'
Ile has pieced leis hands nn old
Hyde's shoulders, and is laughing light-
ly.
'Eh? What? You don't mean to sae
—bless me! What have you got to do
witer it?'
'In rno yon behold the orming bride-
groom,' says Clive, with an hit of the
profoundest triutuph.
The ;4fnjur is struck dumb for a furl
athlete. (4 Menet nnnsnel 0000rr'PI'oe
with him), and then gives way to it wild
rept ni e.
\Iv deaf' Clive—my dente ,leer boy,
can it be true? my dear fellnlr. I em re-
joiced.' And then he fairly gives way
and frilling upon the uninspected Dug-
dale treats -him to a hearty= ling.
