Gerard Mayworth lay in the shadow of the great maples, watching the little figure wending its wayacross difield.. e fi 11 . It came nearer, and ` closing the book he had been reading, he half raised himself from his recumbent position to get a better view of her. ..Short brown curlsa g ve a piquant expression to the fresh, sparkling face, whose red lips softly I caroled little snatches of sons ; while one round dimpled arm andhand curved themselves upward and balanced our the surly head a shining till pail filled with sparkling water from the spring be- low. He knew that she: tis as a sort of upper servant in Squire _Maps is . family, where she had been :brought up from a little u•gtul•ltYiri, and he himself was betrothed. to Mi , b e Maple, the Squire's only aaugh e r. He knew, too, that his .a bnuntiou for the artless little Madge was wrong, very wrong, and Stately Marguerite would o wide' � 1� Pen her proud, black eyes did she ever dream of it. At the thought he darted a stenl:thY' searching Iotg toward the w`irtdows (!f the great white biros sur- rounded by tete tall trees him whost shadows he. lay tt'ale.4. and thin stmt : le=. t• Maio : twist have a 'kink c4 =Zt5 T21 44' 3`� s • had solicited her to become his wife ; and obtain- ing the' issurance.of her love, !he had followed her toner country house to gain the sanction ofherfa- thcr. The squire who placed_ eat}}re confidence it his daughters judgement, and who was from thefirst prepossessed in her lover's - favour, readily gave his consent to their union, and since then affairs liad glided smoothly on, save when an occasional lovers' quarrel marred their even harmony. The des- osition of Marworth was haughty and unyielding, but Marguerite was equally so ; and it chafedhim to think that he was sometimes com- pelled to subjugate his will to another, even though that was the _woman lee had asked to be his wife. - In the days of estrangement Marguerite would realize with aching heart that her disposition was totally unfitted to mate with his, he needed a gentle, yielding wife, who would rely on his judge- ment unquestionably, and such she- never could be. But a loving reconciliation would banish -all such unpleasant misgivings ; and every week saw. a couple of its clays spent by Gerardat the squire's old farm house, where' pretty Madge, with her bright winning face always crossed his path. Since this, little episode in the maple grove, Madge had avoided him, and he missed her bright face even more than he cared to acknowledge to himself. - It was thenthat Marguerite's cause suf- fered,most for in his anxiety to express his sola - lois, and implore his forgiveness for . his fault. Madge, was almost constantly in his thoughts, and it irritated him to see how persistently she shunned him. But he would not be deceived b her seeming. coldness. ; for he could not blind himself to he deepening flush in the rosycheek, P g as she caught his eyes fixed earnestly upon her, nor fail to catch the trembling light in her own, as they net his for one -brief instant, reading the interest he had created far better than she did herself ; and in the exultation of the thought, he, wealthy and high-born, realized that the squires little brown -haired servant maid held a place in his heart that the squire's beautiful daughter had q g never filled. With an ardent and impulsive temperament, he was thoroughly selfish ; and stifling all -manly pleading for the fair girl whom he had wooed and won, he determined to disregard the sneers of his aristocratic relatives, and win little Madge for his wife. The opportunity he had so long sought at last presented itself. He came face to face with her as she was flying across the lawn, intercepting her passage as he placed himself directly in her path. "Madge," he spoke, low -and hurriedly, "there is something I wished to•say to you. Wait till:- your illyour mistress has retired to -night, and then go to the old willow at the back of the house. and you will find me waiting for you there. Will you promisel!" lie was looking at her with eyes that said not " Will you'.' but " You !" and, like a bird eharnied by a serpent, she stood. trembling and uncertain. till his - i s it 1 ass (nate rettc.ratit>rt compell- ed her assent.

Ia1 Poor Marguerite ! The light revealed an ashen face as she sunk powerless into a chair. Her head had ached badly � she remembered. seeing some camphor in the kitchen closet, and knowing just where to seek it, she had gone for it without a light, and in the quiet darkness had come upon a deeper, life-long pain. . Ah, well ! She had been dreaminga beautiful dream and fate hadsli owed the awakening.I was cruel ; but better now than later. And the wretched girl bowed her head in anguish. That night, when the hours had sped far into the morn- ing, and pretty Madge lay buriedinhapny,, clream- ful sleep, there was a noise and hurrying feet, and l4 y g anxious faces flitted through the great house, for its -master was dying. Doctor Payne hastened over at the imperative summons, to find a score of frightened watchers gathered around the old squire's bedside, Atthe hrst entrance of -the physician, he desired that all should leave the room save his daughter and Ge- rard. "Doctor, I know that I have but a little while to live !" and the feeble eyes searched the physi- cian's shaded face, and then rested with a look of fond affection on the kneeling figure. of his daugh- ter. '•My child, tell Madge I wish to see her what 7 have to say is for her as well." The palid face was lifted as Marguerite rose to do her father's bidding. She stood at Ma 's door waiting fors her to appear. A frightened voice had answered her sharp call, and adge, with clothes liiosely thrown on, and a startled look in her brown eyes, stood in the open door- way. She shrank back guiltily when she saw Marguerite's pale face confronting her ; for she imagined that Gerard had told. her all, and that she had now come to upbraid her, Marguerite read something of her thoughts, and despite her deep pain, she looked scorn-, fully down on the timid, shrinking girl, that fol- lowed in her footsteps: A moment more and Marguerite knelt in her old place, the squire's withered hand on the head of his - motherless, and soon to be fatherless, child; :and little. Madge, left.alone, standing in the furthest corner of the room. half blinded by the light die unexpec- ted scene, where nothing seemed -familiar. The old squire's voice cheated into momentary strength, rose clear and distinct : "I need not speak of the years of life made wretched through one base act of the past. I need only tell of one innocent girl dishonoured, a happy honte trade wretched, and you know niy ciente. Yonder poor girl has been a living re- minder of that one fatal misstep. I speak of this so that you may know her, even at this late day, as my child, Marguerite," and his hand strayed tenderly over the bowed head, " forgive _ your pool father for the weakness that has kept back this confession till the last moment, leaving you to bear the disgrace alone, when he is at rest for- ever. I know you are ,good and upright, :my daughter, and I trust to you to see that she shares the fortune I leave to both. Thus far Gerard had been a silent listener. But roused into anger by the squire's devotedlove for one child, that efused to sak a kindly word of syinpathy to the one he had brought into a life y1 a of shame, he could nglonger control his feelings- ; and without a thought of the shock his words aright produce, the rash, impulsive youn=g man strode, rc s the room, and tw:irin ! filet' armn •ng around the shrinking of� � form n o i Madge, �tei ilt l tID e:x- " ni h'v ale -n d1 her a pbee :n your at i tai w a yams fern she i not `d, :=- 4; 4 1 Oak 1 'ii-} ,i ¢ 3 , Y.ARIETIES.
