CHAPTER VL
mersv's nealtm.
I isometireee think mother hardly makes
enough of Uncle ,Ambrose or of his good -
newt to me. I know she is grateful to hitri,
and proud of my progress, which ie all his
Work. But now and then it ;seems to me
that she keeps him too inuoh ab a distance,
indeed of treating him as if lie were her
brother and really my uncle. he very
seldom comes into the morning•room while
I am at my studies there, and there are
many days when he leaves the helm° at one
o'clock without having seen her. Once in
a while she asks him to stop to lunch, and
whext she aoes 1 can see his fair face light
up suddenly with a Rush of pleasure, and
he is full of life and talk at luncheon, be
who is generally so calm and plecsid, like
deep water; and after tench he lingers
and lingers in the garden or in the drawing -
room, till mother is obliged. to ask him to
ste.3r to tea; and after tea he goes away
lowly and reluotantly,ltngering at the gate
if it is fine weather, and mother and 1 go
oub witheaim to say good-bye.
• He is so fond of us both 1 It is the little
gate in the fence near his cottage at which
•we say good-bye to Uncle Ambrose—not
the gate by which father went out that
summer morning, never to come back to us
again.
That which was brought back nearly a
week afterward was not my father. That
whioh lies ander the sod that mother
and I kept bright with &were is not my
•father. We know that he is living still—
somewhere. Living, or waiting in a placid
sleep for the wakening of the new life,
We know not how, we know not where;
but we believe that he is living atilt and
that we shall see him again.
As I grow older, and my education goee
on, and absorbs more of my masteo's valu-
able time, I wonder all the more at the
sacrifice which he rnakes and has been
making so long for my sake. When I think
that he is a man whose books are valued
and praised by the greatest thinkers of his
age a man who might win distinction in
almost any walk of literature, I am awned
at his willingness to waste so great a part
ot his life upon my insignificance. It is all
the snore wonderful, perhaps, because,
although when he came to live at Leanforcl
he wan poor man, he is now a very rich
man, a distant relation having died in
America some years ago and left him a large
ortnne.
I hardly know when the change in his
circumstances arose, he himeelf made so
light of the matter. It was Cyril who
told me one day that his father was rich. •
"Did you ever know such a man as my
father," he said, "to go on living in that
ugly old cottage when he might have a
house in Park Lane and a country seat into
the bargain, if he liked 1"
I asked if 17nole Ambrose was really very
r
i
c,h.
"Really, and really, I believe," answer-
ed Cyril, "though he has never condescend -
en to enter- into .particulars with me ; but
a Yankee fellow at Oxford told me all
about the man who left father his fortune,
and it was a biggish lane—that's the
Yankee's expression, mind you, not mine."
Cyril is at Christchurch, Oxford. He
spent his last long vacaction in Sweden and
Norway. He promised me that he will
spend the next long, or, at any rate, the
earlier part of his time at Lamford, and
that he will take me about in his boat, and
that I shall help him with his classics.
l'm afraid this is only an idle ample.
ment thine ; but Uncle Ambrose says I
really might be of some use to Cyril in
reading Horace and Virgil with him and
that I know both those poets bettezAhan
many undergraduates.
If I do I have to thank *Uncle Ambrose
for my knowledge,and most of all for teach-
ing me to love Latin poetry instead of to
hate Latin grammar.
Cyril is sometimes just a little inclined
to find fault with his father for living in
the small ugly house to which he came in
his poverty ; but as he has a very liberal
allowance, cango where he likes for his
i
vacations, aud s never denied anything by
the most indulgent of fathers, he feels that
he has no right to complain.
re, so afraid that other fellows will
take it into their heads that my father is a
miser," he said one day, "when they find
that I have no home to which 1 can invite
them, and that my father mopes away his
life in a cottage by the Thames. And the
worst part of the business is that most fel-
lows in the Univerity know every yard of
ground between Henley and Oxford, and
must know Lamford."
I told him that a man could not be said
to mope away his life when he had written
two books which had been read and prelim&
all over the civilized world.
" Well no doubt with some rnen the balsa
count for something, and they put my father
down as an eccentric scholar, living his own
retired life, for hie own pleasure;but you
see there are more foole than senble peo_
ple in the world, and the fools must think
my lather is too fond of money' to spend it
like a gentleman. I dare say theyfancy
that his wealth came to hitn too late in life,
and that poverty's penurious habits had got
burned hito hie very nature."
" What does it matter What mistakes
people of that kind may make about your
father ?" I said. We knave that he is a
gentleman in every act and *tight of his
life ; and that if he does not spend money
upon things that please other people, it is
only became he cares for • „higher things,
which don't dost motley or make a great
show.'
"You are right. there, Daisy," answeeed
"and there are some things he
cares for which don't make a show, and
do cost money—his books, for instance.
There are two or three thousand pounds
sunk In his librery—rare books, old
books, new booke, Oriental books lining the
walls of every room in the ootts,ge. Upon

often, Ire laughs ab noy educatis In and
says that hie father would have made rae a

upon making me something else.
I wonder what that something else is ?
Father's grave m in the ohuroh-yard at
the other end of the village—such a pretty
peauresque eleeping-ple.ce for the beloved
dead 1 There is one corner of the (Mara -
yard which is separated from the river
only by a strip of waste land covered
with rushes, and bya low stone walholothed
with mosses and lichens, gray,and esennand
greeet—a dear old wall, with fine small -
leaved ivy oreepiug over it here and there,
and with fairy-like sPleenwort growing out
of the interstices of the stone. Just in the
angle of the wall nearest, the river lies my
father's grave, under the shadow of a great
willow, like my tree on the lawn. It was
because of that tree my =tiler climes the
aped. Father had alwe,ya talked of the big
weeping -willow an Daisy's tree, end mother
knew that he was fond of it for his little
daughter's sake. So he lies under Daisy's
tree, and his only monument is a low red
granite cross, with his narrie eald the date
of his birth and death'. No text, no verse;
nothing. to liayhow much he was beloved;
only a blank space for mother'a name when
she is laid beside him. All the rest is
garden. Mother thinks the garden tells
best of our love for him who lies there,
because it is a changeful thing, and not
dead and immutable, like letters carved in
marble.
Mother and I do all the work of this
little gatden with our own hands. No one
else is allowed to touch it, and the flowers
change with every change of the seasons—
from Christmas roses to the pure whiteness
of the chryeantheraums in the late autumn;
and our garden is always lovely and full of
freshness and perfunte. Fair weather or
foul, one of us goes there every day. We
never miss a day while we are at Lainford.
When we are away the garden is left to
itself; and when we come Mack we have to
make up -for an interval of neglect. We had
rather there should be neglect and decay
for a little while than that hireling hands
should cultivate father's garden.
That corner by the river is very lonely,
the most remote from the church and the
vicarage, and the path by which people go
to 3hurch. I have sat there for hours and
no one has ever °erne near me; though I
have heard the boats going by, and people
talking as they rowed past the little rushy
waste outside the wall. Nobody can see
me from the river when I ten sitting there,
for father's tree makes a great green tent,
just as my tree does on the lawn at home.

tary, more secure from interruption than if
had been at home, where any one of the
few friends with whom we are intimate
might drop in upon me. In the church-
yard I have my life all to myself, to read -or
to think, and I prophesy that a great
deal of this diary will be scribbled on the
grassy bank under the low wall by my
father's grave. There is a little hollow nook
all among the ivy and bramble and fern,
which is my own particular seat, and I
can study there better than anywhere else.
One day Beattice -Reardon came and
found me out in my node, mime sailingtup
to me in her bouncing, noisy way, flounsla
ing her racket.
"So I've found you at last, D," she said.
She is one of those girls who can never call
anything by its right name, and she fre-
quently calls me le "Simon told me you
were out for the whole afternoon, but I
thought I should unearth you. Come and
make up a set."
'Now you have found me, perhaps you'll
be kind enough to lose me again," I
answered. "I should have thought that
even you would understand that when I
come to sit by my father's grave I like to
be alone, and I don't like tennis ra,akets.'
I don't often ion my temper. but I do
think Beatrice Reardon—though no doubt
she means well—is a girl who would have
exasperated Job. There are times when I
feel that a continuance of Beatrice's society
would be worse than boils.
" You're a morbid, disagreeable little
D," she said, "and you'll find out you're
mistaken before you're thirty; for by that
time your moping, solitary., cross-grained
Ways Will make, you look forty, and then
you'll be sorry.'
She meshed off withher racket on her
shoulder, singing "Gather your roses while
you may" in her loud mezzo-soprano voice,
the voice of Lamforcl and two villages be..
yond ; and lam happy to say she never
invaded my peaceful corner again.
Here I read the sixth book of the Eneid,
add here I read Dante, until I feel as if 1
were more familiar with the world of Shad-
ows than the world of realities. Here I
learned those odes which Uncle Ambrose
chose for me in my little Horace, and my
favorite bits from the Georgia, and my
favorite Eclogues. Here I read Milton
and Shakespeare. The spot is full of
lovely images and haunting fancies.

CHAPTER VIL
SEE anwzraino, "suit."
Seven years ! Robert Hatrell had been
lying in hie grave seven years and a day,
and Ambrose Arden was slowly pacing the
rover terrace which the dead man planned
in the pride of his heart while his murders
er was lying in wait for him somewhere in
the big city yonder, far away to the east,
where the bright blue sky changed to a dull
and heavy gray. Ambrose Arden and Clara
Hatrell were walking side by side upon the
broad, gravel terrace between two rowa of
cypresses ; she with a slow and listless
step ; he suiting hie pace to hers, but by
no means listless, intent rather, watching
every change in the pensive faces every
shade upon the fair forehead.
Seven years and a day he had been
lying in his grave—seven years and
seven days had .gone by since he was
found steak and cold in a "two pair
back" bedroom in a shabby lodging -
house near St. Giles's Church, a wonder
and a mystery to all England. For seven
years his widow had mourned him, missing
and regretting him every day of her lif —
albeit cahnly content in her quiet lot with
the daughter she adored—brooding over
the tragedy of his death, brooding over the
cruel destiny which had sundered so per-
fect a union.
Her sorrow was in no Wise diminishea by
the years that had come and gone—her
memory of the beloved dead was no less

We have very few friends, though
mother is obliged to be civil to a good
many acquaintances scattered about the
happy river, betweea Henley Bridge
and Caversham Weir. She visits very
little—only in the quietest way at the
houses of her oldest friends., the people she
knew besb in my father's time. The only
families of whom we tiee much are the
reotor's and the doctor's for mother's ohar-
ides bring her in contact with both, and as
there are girle in both families, I have
been invited very often to play tennis or to
join in water plaice, oe any other homely
festivitia. I have never gone to parties at
either house since I was a child, and the
girls laugh at me for my solitary bringing
up : but mother and I have been too happy
in our own rinieb way for me to think that
I lose numb in staying away from the Rear -

Ambrose Arden, walking bleliefetriffe
the sultry stillness of the July afternoon,
.knew her heart almost as well as she knew
it herself.
Seven years had made little alteration
externally in Robert HatrelPs widow, or in
Robert Hatrell's friend. At six -and -thirty
Clara Hatrell was etill a beautiful woman,
so much the lo-veller, perhaps in her calm
maturity for the seclusion and repose of
her widowhood.
The cares and excitements of the moman
of society, had not written premature
wrinkles on the broad.. white brow, ,..The
disappointments and -vexations of the fag;
ione.ble world had not drawn down the
corners of the mobile mouth or pinched the
perfect oval of the cheek.
Ambrose Arden was exactly the Iran 11
had been seven years before—faincompt
ioned, dreamy -eyed, with the seholar's 13
shoulders and with the scholar's measuldi
accents. A remarke.ble looking man always";
and a fine-looking man in spite of those
stooping sbouldera and the slow meditative
walk ; a Man to attract the admiration and
the love of women, as being different from
his fellow -men, and with something of that
power whioh women call magnetic in his
thoughtful eyes—so blue, so clear, with the
color and transparence of childhood, yet
with such an unfathomable depth of
thought.
Seven years, and in all that length of
months and weeks and days he had been
this woman's slave; and she knew it nob.
Day and night, waking or sleeping, neer or
far, he had adored her; and she knew it not.
Seven years since her husband's death, and
how Many years before? Only since the
hour 1m first looked upon her, when it
had beento him as if the heart within him,
strong and passionate heart — whose
forces he had never known till that moment
—leaped suddenly into life and linked his
fate with hers forever.
He had married a fair young
wife, and he had been a good
and tender husband. He had truly and
tenderly mourned the early deed. Bub till
be met Clara Hatrell he knew not what
passion meant.
He knew not and could never hope to
know, what it was that made this woman
different from all other women upon earth,
the one supreme mistress of his life, whom
to serve was destiny, whom to love wen a
necessity of his being.
And so for seven years and more before
her husband's death, and foe seven gars
after, he had been her idolater and slave;
she nothing knowing—accepting his quiet
attentions as calmly as she took a basket
of hot -house flowers from her gardener,
asking no questions of her own heart or of
his,thinking of him only as anamiable ecoen.

Her kindnesses to him had beet of the

PEKING
And itite Great Wails That Enclose it.
'Peking is perhaps one of the least known
cities of the world. I have paid two visite
to it, and 1 spent a month in it six years
ago, During the present spring I prowled
aboue its streets for dart and devoted my
self to making a study of the town and
ts people. It is an immense city. Ib con-
tains about 1,500,000, but these are scat-
tered over an area of 25 square melee, and
the people as a rule live in one -storey houses.
The city is surrounded by walls weich
were built 'tandem:1s of years ago, and whioh
must have.coat many millions of dollen.
These walls are in good condition with the
exception of one or two placee where the
floods of last winter undermined them and
oarried parts of their -facings away.
It is hard to give an American an idea
of one of these walled cibies of China. Tito
walls of Peking are 60 feet thick at the
bobtom. They would fill the average
country road or city street, and they are as
tall as a four -storey house. They are so
wide at the top that you could run three
railroad trains aide by side around them
and they are se solid that the cars would
move more smoothly over these tracks than
they do on the trunk lines between New
York and Chicago. These walls are faced
inside and out with bricks each as big as
a four -dollar Bible, and the space between
is filled with earth and stones so jammed
down that the ages have made the whole
one solid mass. They are built, in fact,

The steamers should be able to perform

ey 'night when Miss Lmise Shepard
broke up tbe meeting with her proposition
or offerings.
Miss Sheard is a wealthy New York
woman. A few years ago she was coa-
verted at a convention of the Missionary
and Christian Alliance at Round Lake. At
that time she took diamond rings from her
hugers and earrings frona her ears and laid
them on the altar as an offering to the
cause. Since that titne she has been a
meet earnest' and devoted worker for the
Mance.
MISS SHEPARD'S AMIE.
The program on 'Friday evening MO to
include a series of short addresses on mis-
sionary topics. When it came Miss Shep-
ardn tura to speak she arose and showed
a small watch, with eases, which, she said,
were made of iron. She determined to
sell her gold watch and give the proceeds
to the Alliance and use Et cheap iron watch
instead. Then she told a little story about
the Order of the Iron Cross. This !society
was formed by women during the Prussian
war, when the Emperor called upon all of
his subjeats for assistance. The Prussian
women sold their jewelry for the benfit of
the Government and wore iron dross-
es.
"Now," said Miss Shepard, with an ap-
pealing ,,gesture, "if these women were
wilting to give up their jewelry because
of the loyalty to their native land, surely
vre ought to do as much for the love
of Jesus. For gold we will give iron to
you."
The Rev. Stephen Merritt, the under.
taker and preacher, sat on the first row.
When Miss Shepard stopped and looked
about for a response to her appeal, Mr.
elerritt arose, and after turning toward
the audience pulled a tine gold watch from
his vest pocketlaidand it on the altar. Miss
Shepard rewarded Mr. Merritt with an en.
oouraging smile.
"Who is the next ?" she asked.

The hog business in Ontario has received
a decided impetus in the past year. The
receipts at the Toronto market in 1893
were 74,557 animals. For the nine .ninnths
of the present year 85,565 have been reeeiv.,
ed, and it is expected the 100,000 mark
will be exceeded before the year is &eked.
Many of the animals are wheat fed. There
has been a very marked development in
the Canadian hog raising industry in late
years. Aecording to the aims of 1881
there were 1,207,619 hogs in the country
by the the returns of 1891 there were 1,702,185.
From being a pork importing country this
has become a pork exportingceuntry.
