I hold. to what I say, and I won't go back on you for treating me so unfriendly I've got a bit of money in the bank, and I'm as good as a London man any day of tit. week." I didn't stop to ask what he meant by that, but turned my back to show I didn't want to say anything more to kiln. In another minute I saw Mr. Haldane and Mr. Redwood walking in the grounds together, and knowing my dear mistress was alone I went up to her. Sho was whiter than ever, but she didn't speak for along time. At, last she said -0, George, in such a mourniul voice 1—" I am going away, Rachel," she said, and then I knew that 1t was all over. <' To -day, Miss ?" I asked. ""Yes, to -day, Rachel," she said. "To London ?" I asked. "Yes, Rachel," she said, "to London." " When shall we start, Miss?" I said. Then she began to talk to me again, and said that 1 had no right to sacrifice myself because she was in trouble—just think of her speak- ing of sacrifice to me,George dear!—and that it was my duty to look after myself. I said I was looking after myself, and that I had thought the matter well over, and didn't ntend to leave her service. " Bat I cannot afford to pay you, Rachel," she said. " I'll wait till you can, my dear mistress," I said. " I've saved a little and I'm not in want. I've a strong parr of arms, and Pm going to work for you and look after you. I should never have a minute's peace if I acted in any other way, -so it's no use trying to persuade me." Then she talked of you, and I up and said it was just what I wanted, the chance of going to London, and being near you, and that it wasn't likely I could go alone. " I'm doing what my sweetheart wishes me to do," I said (and don't you contradict me, George, whatever comes of it). " I can be true to him, and true to you, and I can't be one thing without the other. Besides, it was all settled last night." Well, George dear, the long and the short of its is that she had to give way, and when she confess- ed that my' company would be a comfort to her, my heart was as light as light could be. Then I helped her to look over her things. She's got any number of dresses, but she wouldn't take Chem with her ; she chose three plain frocks, and some other bits of dress she can't do without, and 1 packed them in a trunk, and smuggled in one or two things when she wasn't looking. " There's your jewellery, Miss," I said. Would you believe it, George, she wouldn't take a single thing her father had given her? " But they're yours, Miss," I said " your very own, to do what you like with." "They belong to my father now," she said, ""i haveno right tothem. There aree a few things I bought with, my own money that I think t may take with' me.. And I'm not penniless either, .Rachel ; I've got over twelve pounds in my purse, and that will keep us ever so long." • She spoke so patientlyand sweet! , I asked her if there Was anfriend in London that she would go and ask advice of, and she said there wee, and . mentioned Mr. Parton's name. Mr. Parton is her sweetheart's father, eorge curl I was glad to hear that she had • .hovgh e et aim. 13e is not well ori', but me bemuse I don't call upon you to meet us at the railway station in London. I kilo%% what, I'm doing, t and In dais r I 1 everything f'r the best. 11 isn't my own doing I've got to consult, it's my dear young lady's, and I'm sure she won't waut to see strangers while sine's in the state she is. I understand her, and she doesn't mind me. She'll cry if she wants to when Pie with her, which she wouldn't if a stranger was by ; and I'd give something, I would, 'if shod burst out and have it over, And don't you go and think hard things of me for not asking you to help its ; if you do I'lll never speak to you again as long as I live. Besides, I've got no claim on you now : it's all over between us, for I' can't expect you to tgo on waitingfor for me ever - so,Georgedear, r consider yourself free, and looout for another girl.You won't have any trouble in finding one. Yon will always be my friend, won't you? There's my dear mistress come for ane, and I must wind up my letter. I'll write you another in London, directly we get settled. Good- bye, dear. With a thousand thousand kisses, and with my eyes brimming over, thinking of you and everything, I remain, 'Your lov- ing and unhappy, RACHEL. FROM RACHEL DIPROSE, 5, WARRINGTON STREET, E. C., TO GEORGE MILLINGTON, SHEPHERD'S Bosh. My dear old George,—Hero we are, set- tled down for a bit in London, and now I can write to you. I've plenty to tell but I'll try and make it short, for I know how tiresome you must think nay long letters. I can hoar you say when the postman knocks at your door, " 0, here's another letter front that bother- ing Rachel ! She's becoming a regular nuis- sance 1" I do try you a lot, George dear ; I know that ; but if it should be my good fortune to have the chance (which it will never, never be, dear), P11 make it up to you, that I will ; and nobody in the world can say that Rachel Diprose is not as good as her word. 0, my dear old George, I don't mean half, no, not a quarter what I say, and any man but you would have been tired of me long ago ; but I don't think you are, though I do try you so hard. I do love you, indeed, indeed I do—and that's the worst of it, isn bit ? Yes, George, here we are in London, set- tled down in four rooms, two on the firsti floor, and two on the second. The front room on the first floor is what we call the Iiving room ; :the back room we use as a kitchen; the two rooms on the second floor are our bedrooms. So we are comfortable. At least I am, but 0, what a change it is for my- dear young lady 1 Not that she complains. There she sits' while I am writing to you, with some work in her hand she's trying to do, and not making a very good job of it. "I must learn, Rachel," she says, and I don't try to dissuade acre it's good for her to have something to cite, h she it t r whetherdoes right ,o not • it prevents her from thinking too much. NoI must tell you about our going away from Chud- leigh Park. There was the carriage from the Brindled Cow at the door, and there • was the land- lord himself to drive it, and the ostler to help down with our boxes. It isn't often the landlord of the Brindled Cow drives a customer in any of his t aps, and I know he'd. done it this time lionour of my dear, young lady, and I: was glcateful'to him for doing so much. My young lady was dressed. and he'll keep it back tor us." She said nothing to this, but sat be the window, looking out. Presently she started up and went to the door and listened ---I knew what for. She was hoping her father would come at the last Minute and tell her she wasn't to go. He was in the house, but she might have stood at the door all day and he would never have come unless it was to turn her out, and at last sho went out into the pass- age towards his room. I followed her at a distance, in case she might want nee ; I wasn't at all sure she wouldn't break down, and 1t was my duty to be near her. She walked, 0, so slowly, andstopped almost at every step. with her hand at her heart, but before she reached his room the door opened and out be came. no put her bauus together, and looked up into his face, and then he stopped. " Have you copse to tell me," he said, " that you repent your un- dutiful conduct , Have you conte to ben 'my forgiveness, and to say that you except Mr. Redwood ?' Three or four times did sine try to speak before she got her words out. "' I have come to beg y our forgiveness, papa," she said, " but I cannot accept Mr. Redwood. " Ont of my sight !" he cried, and there was a white foam on his lips as he posited past her, and almost kihocked her down. I ran ami eaughtiter, and sho remain- ed in my armstenv quiet for raou time. Ate didn't ery.but she uassighingasthough her heart would burst. I didn't say a word, but held her hand. At last she took 'herself away horn me. Seeing how she was sulTer- ing, I raid to her, "" Cry, my "rear mistress have a good cry, It will relieve you.

She knelt down and put her amts round Itis *wok and kissed him again and again ; and George dear, in. all the poet. pis- thae were etaneling about there wadii t a dry eye. Yes, there was; I am telling as story. The scorpion was there, standing ",11 the steps of the 'Hall, as if ho and noha.dy else was master there --and perhaps he is, Ile was smukieg of course ; he is always smoking, and I wish he'd smoke himself into a fit that he'd never recover from.

And Child would have dcne it too ; he mideretands not only every word my young lady speaks, but every movement she makes, and she'd only to raise iter little linger and point to the scorpion, and it would have been all over with him. But site did nothing ; she simply looked away. Then the carriage began to move off and the servants ran after it to the gates of the !'ark, and there was the lodgeseeper and his wife: with more flowers, and every man there had his drat oil, and every female had her ap eon to her eyes. Now, George,e the railway station •two ways to r there were %t yy one through the Park, the way we hadn't 1 come, andanotherthrough the village ; and it was through the village we were going, Everybody was out, ani everybody had a kind word for my dear young lady, and everybody showed how much she was loved and honoured there." The rector came out with his wife and child- ren, and they shook hands with my mistress, an,- Asked her to write to them, and whether sho promised or not I can't say, but she kissed the children, and we drove away. Not fast, but very slow, and at the door of the Brindled Cow a hamper was put into the carriage, and whatever you may say of the landlady she's a good sort, and I'll never npeak a word against her, though she wasn't a favourite of mine. Aud all the children came out of school, and waved their hands, and cried, " God bless you, lady 1"-0, George, the world isn't so bad after all ; there's plenty of good people in it, and we met a many of them in Chud- leigh village. As last we got to the station and the stationmaster waited on us himself, and we had a carriage all to onrselves, and all the flowers and the hamper were put on the seats ; and thea came perhaps the best thing of all. At the very moment the train was moving away the door of our carriage was quickly opened, and who should jump into it but Ohua 1 " 0, my dear, dear Chnd," said my mistress, " you must go, you must go 1" She tried to push him out, but she ought as well have tried to move a mountain. There Cbud lay stretched out his great heed between his paws, licking my dear young lady's hands, and he never stir - ed till the train was rattling along. Then he got up, and put his head in her lap, and looked into her face with his lovely speak- ing eyes, as mach as to say, "I'm going to stop with you, ,and go where you go, and whoever tries to prevent the had better look out for himself."

Tho death is announced of Hargraves, the Australian gold discoverer. Gold was first actually found in Now South Wales about seventy-five years ago, which is thirty-five years before Hargrave's time. One discovery was made by a party of escaped convicts, but the officials in Sydney at the time deem- ed it wise to keep the " find" a secret, to prevent a " rush" of convicts to the new diggings. Gold was found butBathurst way at the same time, or possibly a little before Hargraves came upon his specimens. Har- graves went over to Australia from 'Frisco in 1849 to look for grazing country, and he was thenstruok with the similarity in .the appearance of the country to that on the Pacific slope. He then took some specimens to 'Frisco, made a close comparison, and satisfying himself, returned to New South Wales confident that the country held gold. Then when he found the precious metal he at once weut to Sydney and gave the public the benefit of his searchings. This is why— and a good reason why, says the Colonies and India—Hargraves was voted a bonus of £20,- 000,- and given a life pension of £251 a year. Very Queer Sailors.
