"I feel as though every moment we epend upon the rood stands between me find my nseeting with Kate." Fairfield looked at his companion in etartled surprise, and he Said with a sigh : "You are anticipating too muoh, toy lord. You must prepare yourself for some- thing the revere() of happy.

" Yes ; last Christmas evening I was as free from gray hairs as you are. Now look at me." "But how did it happen? Why are you so mysterious? Why doia't you deal frankly with mei" " My mother will tell you all that you need to know," was the answer. "1 only warn you to anticipate evil rather than good." Lord Roland felt a chill come over him. It was not the keen air of early Spring that made him shiyer, but the cold feeling of dread and anxiety that Fairfield's words caused him. For,despite all reasoning to the contrary he cherished the hope that when he reached Mrs. Fairfield's cottage he would clasp Kate Lilburne to his heart. When he glanced at the white hair of his companion, however, and heard what was the cause assigned for it, he felt only too well convinced that some dark tragedy had linked itself with the fate of his beloved. For the rest of the journey the two men were silent; one was too and and the other was too nervously anxious to talk 11was a large, handsome cottage at the gate of which they drew up, and as they walked towards the door it was opened by Mrs, Fairfield herself. She was a tall, fine-looking woman, com- paratively young lobking still, and very like her son, though her dark brown hair as yet showed no sign of approaching age. There was deference ratherthan humility in her manner as she gravely invited his thee, this mond Ohrietinee DV at Silver. ton Caselo nniet certeinly Yd haveput all other ievents of the kind eompletely n the shade.

The petty desire to triumph over her friends and to create envy and jealousy in the hearts of other girls having prompted her in her choice rather than any kinder feelings. For instance, there were the two Gaul. burne girls, poor as church mice,the daugh- ters of a clergyman who was a distant cousin of the Lilburnese Their bridesmaids dresses are to be given them by Grace, but to -day their attire is painfully plain, and their gowns bear traces of having been homeenade to begin with, and afterward renovated and altered for the present occasion. And yet tbey are proud, handsome girls, and they know full well that they would look as elegant as any of their oompanions if they were only able to wear such fine clothing. Then there was Miriam Hindman, a bril- liant brunette, who rumor whispered hed won Sir Victor Gayherd'a heart, and he was only saved from marrying her by her father losing the greater part of his for- tune. lordship to enter, while she herself led the way into a comfortably turnished sitting - room. The young nobleman eagerly glanced around the apartment, as though he hoped to see some one, but if so he was disappoint- ed; there was not a single sign of Anybody having been in the room save the woman to whom it belonged. "1 have told Lord Roland Ayre thatyou could probably help him in tracing Mies Kate," said Fairfield when they were all seated; "but perhaps it will be as well if he tens you firth how Kate disappeared and what steps have been taken to find her; you will then be better able to connect his part of the story with the little you know." Lord Roland almost fumed with impa- tience. He did not want to go over the old ground again•, he wanted to know without delay what they could tell him. But Mrs. Fairfield, though very polite, was likewise very firm, Moreover, she was suspicious. Yes, she was auspicious even of her own son, and as Lord Roland, finding no escape, began to tell the story of that Christmas night over again, she more than once inter- rupted him with questions. " And when the searoh was being made you heard nothing about any false floor in the west) turret, did you ?" asked lel re. Fair- field with a searching glance. " Certainly not; is there such a thing?" he asked eagerly. "There was formerly—at least, so I hear from my son—though I never heard of it in all the years I lived at the castle, and I don't think Lord Lilburne himself knew of it; but Frank asserts that Miss Grace did." "Grace 1" exclaimed his lordship in sudden dismay; "are you sure she knew of it?" "I am quite sure," here interposed the young engineer, "for I once showed it to her, and threatened to throw her into the shaft below. Of course I only meant to frighten her,, but she was always getting me into serapes with her deceitful tongue, and I thought I would pub a stop to it." Lord Roland pressed his hands over his burning brows. He remembered now how Grace had in- duced her sister to hide, and how she had afterwards denied all knowledge of her whereabouts. Yes'it all came back to his memory now, even to the dust and dirt which he had noticed on her white satin dress, and to which he had called attention. At length he started to his feet exclaim- iug "Let us go to Silverton Castle at once ; there is not a moment to be lost, That in- famous girl may be starving her sister to death ; quick—quick, or we may be too late I" But Mrs. Fairfield said calmly as the also rose to her feet : "We will go in good time my lord; but if I help you, you must help ruse and I have a matter here that troubles( me as much as Kate Litherne's disappearance troubles you. Will you mime this way my lord and tell me what it is best for me to do?" And she was leading the way to a door that opened into another room when his lordship exclaimed: ".1 will do anything you. require when Kate is found ; but I waist go to Silverton Castle without delay." And he was turning toward the opposite door, the one by vviiioh he had entered, when he was arrested by Ma. Fairfield's calm voice saying: "It is useless your going to Silverton Castle withont me, and you must give trio your advice at once, Come," Then she led the way into the further rocen,and he, after a monaentary hesitatiom followed her. CHAPTER V, "Better be With the dead Whom we, to gain our place, have sent to peace, Than on the torture of the mind to lie rooklese eestaey." If lavieh profusion, reekleseness of that and carefully planned emuthinente could make any oodal entertainment a groat sue* The baronet had objected to Miriam be- ing invited, and had suggested a cousin of his own in her stead; but Grace was obsti- nate ; she had made up her mind to invite Miriam, and Sir Victor could only hope that the invitation would not be accepted. But here again he was disappointed, and Mirisen came, looking seductive and brile bent as a humming -bird, gorgeous with jewels and costly dressee and giving con- firmation to the report that her father had retrieved his fortune, and was now a richer man than ever. I am afraid that Graoe regretted her obstinacy when she saw how fascinatingly beautiful Miriam was, and certainly she was genuinely jealous when she observed how Sir Viotor's eyes followed the girl who had still the power to make him forget everybody eke when she was present. Miriam knew that Grace had not invited her out of affection, and that she had no nobler aim than a desire to mortify and humiliate her, and she determined that the pain should not be all on one aide. Besidea being a beauty and an heiress, Miriam was a wit, and wherever she might be she was quite certain to have a small group of eager admirers about her. On her arrival at the castle Miriam per- sistently attached herself to Lord Lilburne. She gave him her sympathy with such witching tenderness, she condoled with him at being about to lose his second daughter, and then she began to talk of dear Kate, who had been her most intimate friend. "I am quite sure that Kate is alive," she said, saddenly raising her voice so that all the others in the small tearoom could bear her. . Grace frowned. She had distinctly warned every person in the house that her sister's name and her. sister's mysterious fate were not to he al- luded to, partioularly in her father's preeenee. But Miriam paid no heed to the frown,as she continued: • "Yes, I am quite sure she is alive. I dreamed of her lath night, and my dreams always come true. We shall see her soon; I have no doubt about it." "If you have nothing more eubstantial than a dream to:found your aresertion:upon, I think it is a pity you should make it." said Grace with cold severity. "I don't see why. My dreams have a strange faculty for being fulfilled. But, by the way, isn't thefe atom° mysterious pas- sage or chamber in the old part of the castle'or was it destroyed when most of the place was rebuilt V' She looked at Grace when she spoke, hut it was Lord Lilburne who replied: "I never heard of anything of the kind. Silverton is singularly free from romance: We have not even the distinction of pos- sessing a family ghost." "There is, or there was, some mysterious menses of getting in and out of the castle." said Miriam, shaking her pretty little head like a wise birdslaying down the law to its feathered friends. 'I found out something about it from an old manuscript that papa has in his library. I wish I had brought it with me, but I'll send for it. Did you never hear of the secret, Grace ?" was the curt reply. . But Grace Lilburne's face becam white, her head swam, and it was only by the most supreme effort that she could keep herself from fainting. As soon as she could do without being observed the guilty woman escaped to her own room. Here she threw off all restraint, and gave way to the terrible agony of fear and remorse that consumed her. "The secret of the turret floor is known," ahe muttered dispairingly, "and that crea- ture will discover where it is. I saw the threat in her eyes when she looked at me." "But what could she mean about its be - nig a way in and out of the castle ?" I thought there was nothing between the floor of the turret chamber and the foundation of the tower. "If there was a way out, Kate may have escaped—she may be alive ; and if she is, then I am lost—lost forever I" She groaned and hid her face in her hands. Any the looking at her might have felt with the poetess : "If this then be success, 'tis clismaller than any failure." After a time she roused herself, hnd look of resolution came into her fair, innocent -looking face. "I will open the floor tomight," and her eyes: lookesi cold and cruel as the words hiseed between her teeth. "Anti I will lower a lamp into the shaft and see what lies there. I have been afraid hitherto, but I would rather meet Katert Esightless eyes tied look upon her dead face than endure the grin of that mocking witch whom 1 was need enough to invite here," Having made this resolutiou, she manag- ed before nightfall to proetre a covered lentetn and a long (lord, arid to hide them in the room the floor of which hid such a ghastly secret, Thi e hid been easy enough, because the great hall was la the same part of the building, and aeveral times during the day she had considered it neeeesaryto go said personally inspect and superintend the decorations of holly, mistletoe and hot- house flowers. She made & pretence of criticising the arrangement of the tables, and the order in which the guests were to be placed, and she stood over the servarita while everything was altered and rearranged according to her orders' "One would think that to -morrow was somebody eisti's wedding day instead of her own," grumbled one old servant. a pillow of theme that her husband will have when he gets) her, I'm thinking," "The huaband that is to be looks as though he'd like somebody else for a wife, and small blame to him, says I," observed another. Arid the Inall jerked his head toward a small gallery at one end of the hall, in whith the band was usually placed when there was a dance. The first gruinbler glanced in the direc- tion indicated, and grinned, for there in dim twilight could just be distinguiehed Sir Victor Glayherd and Miss Miriam Hind- man, with two or three other ladies and gentlemen. Grace had not seen them, or she would have been alarmed as well as angry, for Miriam had kept a cloth watch upon her movements,ankhad seen that she had gone to one of the chambers ha the old tower, though to which of them the visit had been paid the could not tell. Her keen eyes were on the alerehowever; if anything was to be discovered, she was pretty aura to come upon it. "Do you expect many guests to -night besides those staying in the house ?" she asked Lord Lilburne some time later as the oom any was about to disperse and dress for dinner. "Yea, a great "limber," was the reply. "I3y the way, Grath," he added, turning to his daughter, "did tell you that Lord Roland Ayre wrote to me to say that he was coming to -night ?" "Lord Roland 1" repeated Grace in dis- may. "Yes; I wrote to invite him to dinner. He says he cannot come till later in the evening, but he will come." "Did he say nothing else ?" asked the daughter hoarsely. "Yes lie said something else, but it's of no eoneequence—at least no consequence to you," and hie lordship turned away. race asked no more. She was beginning to feel like a creature at bay, hunted on every side, with no avenue of escape open to her. Why did her father invite Lord Roland Ayre, and why, above all things, had the invitation been accepted? After a time,however, consternation gave place to mirth, and she laughed bitterly as the remarked to Sir Viotor : "Your cousin gives a striking proof of masculine constancy. Last year when he went away he said he would never enter Silverton Castle again unless he brought Kate with him, or came to meet her." "And how do you know that he won't bring Kate with him ?" asked Miriam Hind- man boldly. Grace looked at her for one moment with a scornful scowl, then turned away without deigning to utter one word of reply. "Surely papa does not think of marrying that horrid girl," Grace exclaimed, as she watched het father and Miriam talking together in a confidential and affectionate manner. "I shouldn't think he'd have the chance," returned Sir Victor ; "she's an uncommonly nice girl." "Oh, yes'I know you think there is no- body like her," sneered Grace. "At any rate, I didn't invite her here," retorted the young man, angrily. "Well, no ; you couldn't very well, as it is my father's housle," she replied : "but I wonder, sinoe you admire her so much, you don't marry her." "1 am like your father in that respeot— I haven't the chance," he said, ooldly. Then he crossed the room and joined the couple of whom they had been talking. Graoe was very angry, but she did not follow him, and soon after this the first gong sounded—a hint that it was time to dress for dinner. Miriam Hindman, instead of going up- stairs like the other girls, sauntered into a little study she knew of, where a bright are burned in the polished grate, and the lamp was turned lo*. Despite her assumption of cheerfulness and high spirits, her heart vsas sad and heavy. Sir Victor Gayhard had been the one love of her life, and though they had parted in pique and anger more than a year ago, and just before her father had lost the greater part of his fortune, she had always expected her truant lover to return to her. But this hope had died out now, for he was pledged to become the husband of an- other before twenty-four hours had passed. She had seated herself on a hassock be. fore the fire, her hands clasping her head, and her elbows resting on her knees, and she was thinking sorrowfully of the man whom she still loved so well. "Ile will have a very miserable life," ahe muffed, "particularly so if Grace does not get the large fortune she anticipates; and he will, no doubt, often think of me e.nd wish he had not taken meat my word when I told him to go and find a richer wife. Ah me 1 people think me bright and witty, the men admire me, and the girls envy me, and yet 1 am the most miserable woman in this house to-night—yes, quite the most miserable." Her meditations were here interrupted by an arm being clasped round her waist, and by some member of the opposite sex very energetically kissed her. She looked up, struggled to her feet,and, recognizing her companion, she exclaimed, passionately : "Victor, how dare you insult me like this l' "1 only kissed you under the mistletoe,' he pleaded, with mock humility, bolding up a spray of the white -berried plant. • "Under the mistletoe 1" she exclaimed, with increasing anger. "I wonder you are not ashamed to look me in the face.

"I had two of three other reasons," she replied, with a short laugh. "One of them Was to make ine feel what a fool ra been to think of marrying that waxen -feted doll while you are free." "Oh, dear, aol I am not so vain ; besides, you don't know that I am free, But, since you are so ourions.

"Why (Mould I went to the you ?" she asked, defiantly. "You are nothing to me," "And yet you ere all the world to me, Miriam —nay love my life. Only etty the word and we wid fly together, end I will break the hateful boade that bind ma to Grace, whom I have never loved." He caught her in his arms, and strained her to his heart ; but she gently though firmly releaeed herself from his embrace, as she laid "It iS too late, Victor; too late, I have no pity for Grace, but I cannot bring snob pain and humiliation upon her fathers No ; you must keep your word mad marry her ; but 1 am sorry for you and—and—so sorry for myself." She slipped away from bins as the said this, and ran epstame, but oa her way to her own room to dress she thought, aft a species of self -mortification, she would go into Grace's room with the other girls and try to be civil to her young hostese. Many of the bridesmaids had clustered round the expectant bride, and took a great interest in the dress she was going to wear on this the last evening when she would sit at the head of her father's table as the mistrees of his household, and they admired over and over again the very handsome trousseau with which she was provided. "You don't seem to have much jewellry," remarked Miriam Hindmaio. "'wish I had known it before, for 1 would hare given you a bracelet as a wedding present instead of the silver dishes I brought with me. But I suppose your father will give you Kate's jewels ; she had a splendid collec- tion, I know," "Kate's jewels will go with her money to her mother's family, when there in proof that she is really dead, but if people talk ouch stuff to my father as you did this afternoon it is not likely that anything reasonable will convince him," replied Grace severely. "I don't know why you should WI ib stuff," returned Miriam, quietly; "people don't disappear as your sister did unless they go away to return at seine time or other, or unless they are murdered. There- fore until it is proved. the t she is dead we may reasonably hope she is alive." Grace shrugged her shoulders. She would not discuss the matter, but in- timated that it was time they should begin to dress, and her maid came forwacd to attend to her while the girls all went off to their own rooms. "How very horrid Miriam is in her man. ner to Grace !" remarked Lizzie Goulburne to her sister, as they were dressing, with- out the help of any maid ; "she seems to do all she can to vex her." " Yes," replied Amy ; " but I don't wonder at all ; I am only surprised at her being here at ale" "Why r "Iwonder she oared to come to the wedding of the man she wee engaged to herself, and I am not suprised at her constant reference to poor Kate Lilburne, for Kate and she were bosom friends, and you must admit that the way in which Grace tries to assume that Kate is dead is irritating to those who hope, if they do not believe, otherwise." "Yes, perhaps you are right ; and I don't think it would take much to win Sir Viotor back to hie old love."1 "So little that I would not risk a pair of new gloves on the chance of our wearing those costly gowns to -morrow." And she pointed to the two bridesmaids' oostumes that lay on the shelves of the opened wardrobe. " We shall keep them, in any case," laughed Lizzie ; " and they will serve us for evening dresses for the rest of the Win- ter. After fill, lookers-on see most of the fun." "They see tt, but they don't take part in it,"sighed her sister; "and girls like you and me seem to have no chance of ever being anything but lookers-on." "Ohl our turn will come," was the hope- ful rejoinder. "And there goes the second gong; do make haste, or we shall be late, said that will be dreadful," "I don't see anything dreadful about it ; but I am nearly ready." They hurried so much after this that when they entered the drawing -room they found the room quite empty. Other people soon trooped in, however, e,nd very soon the Goulburne girls found themselves sufficiently well sought after, despite their plain attire. The rivals of the evening, however, were the bride -elect and her chief bridesmaid, Miriam Hindman. Grace was dressed in pale blue, exquis- itely trimmed with oream lace and blush. roses, while her golden hair, her gold ornaments and her bright blue eyes made her look bewitching in the extreme. But her beauty was quite eclipsed when Miriam appeared. The brunette wore rosemolored satin, half -covered with costly black lace, looped with lilies.of the -valley, while pearls and diamonds were clasped round her throat, end lilies and diamonds shone in her black hair. Independent of ornament, Miriam was wonderfully beautiful, but rich colors and sparking gems added greatly to her natural charms, and she ueed laughingly to say that she was Lhankful she had been born too late to be expected to wear white muslin gowns, short in the waith and tied round with a sash, until the time when she should be married. "It was almost enough to drive a girl to marry the first man who asked her, if only to obtain the privilege of wearing silk and satin," she wouid say, laughingly. "Hap- pily no our days we clan wear what we like, without oaring for the opinion of the male sex or for that of Mrs. Grundy." She :teemed to care for the good opinion of one member of the male sex this evening, however, and he for hers, and though his marriage with his host's daughter was fixed for the following morning, Sir Victor seem- ed to be tillable to resist the attraction of Miriam's black eyes. Grace watched the couple jealously whenever the thought: of thein ; but some- thing more important than the temporary defeobion of her lover filled her thoughts. She was planning how to get away from her guests unobserved and to stay long enough to be able to ascertain what lay at the bet, tom of the dark shaft into which she had thrust her sister, "I shall home no opportunity after to- night," she thoughtgloomily, "for to.morrow I shall have people about nee the whole time until I go to thumb, and after that 1ehall go away with Viotor, "Yes, it must be to -night. When the conjurors engaged come into the hall to play their Welts I will slip away. 1 shall be lege missed then than at any time." She sinned as she came to this conclusion, and turned to answer it question which a gentlemen at her side had asked. (TO or CONTItItill,11) Children Cry for Piteheee Ontario) EIGHT YOUNG GIANTS.
