She did. not °axe to be seaoken to by the governors, and they said she'd bet- ter leave at once; and,' added Mr, Car- rington, "left she has." "I am sorry she has been so hasty as this," Dudley marmured.„ "Thele. me and her had some words, too, foe I wasn't best pleased with it all, and said more then I meant, as people ao when they're And then," he continued, as he leaned forward, plant- ed one of his grimy handson each of his corduroy knees, and stared with grave intentness at the barrister, she up and told me every think -who the gentle- man wan and what he -was, and where he lived, how he had been keeping com- pany with her, oh! for ever so long, and was uncommon fond of her." "And *as going. to maery her," added Ben, ironically. " That's what I've- called to ask about," said Mr. Carrington. " I told Zeph this morning I ahould come and talk to you straightforward. like, as men VI men." a What did she say th thal?" asked Dudley, in a low tone. "She said I might, and welcome. She could trust you„ she said, to tell the tmth. She would have come with me if I'd let her,' he continued, " bat I thonfTht it was best for you and me to have this out together." "Yee ---no," said. Dudley, irresolutely. wieb. she had come with you, I think a" " Why?" "I could have explained the whole matter mere elearly, perhaps," was his slow anewer. " Whet did I tell you ?" growled Ben to his companion. e Diana sey so ? Can't yeti see what hie game's been ? Haven't seid so all along?" "I will not ha,eo your interference," cried Dudley Grey, fiercely, et last; We businese of yoers-" Oh yes, it auswered Ben, stolid- ly but boldly ; for, you see, if you had- n't stepped between me and Zeph, she would have been, my wife by this time. I wanted her to be. I liked her aw- ful." vodr row, Ben," sett Mr. Car- rington ; " ana lot me speak. It is my place, not yourn, to talk." Go it," muttered Ben ; "but I faint going to be told it's not my basiness." " Let's get to the lights of it, or the wrougs it,- seal Mr. Cerrington ; theta; what I have come for, Mr. Grey. Whet am to make out of this?-thet my langhter ain't good enough for you, and never was? That you've aiought it a fine thing to take her out and uesettle her from all our homely ways t That you've tamed her head, and made her believe you're des- Iperate in love with her, and you've etev- er Meant it all the time ? That you would have ruined her if you could, and told youx swell friends afterward you'd thrown another women on the streets? That's it now; own it like the scamp you ere !" Dudley Grey winced. beneath these hard words, end the shame of his posi- tion burnea rod into b is `face. He might have expected to be judged like this by one whose heart wae in his canal's good Dame end fame. Ho wes judged uu- mercifully, but it was natural. the man should think in this way, end disbelieve any statemeut he might ettempt in. ex- tenuation of his conduct. Extenuation I it was 'beyond him. He made' the at- tempt, however. "Mr. Cerringtoa, you do me an in- justice," he seid ; " you think too badly of the positioii altogether.

CHAPTER VILE "POOR, =MI" Yes, he would write to Zeph at nee,. thought Dudley. She would und tend him better than flee rest of them. He was judged too harshly by outs elers. The fa,ther, in Grader langruage,h only expressed the same opinion, as rank Amoore. All his own huh ; he o ned it, and. he deserved it. What righ had he to be judged a better and mor hon- ora.ble man than ninety-nine out ery hurielred placed in la similar tien ?

He's not a good father, Dudley." I "-Don't think too hardly of the eth- er, Zeph," said Dudley. "He h right to speak." " He seid a lot about you I don't t yet," continued Zeph, with her sharpness of discourse apparent fo an instant ; " and.that you were en that he would not have harmed Zeph Carrington? And how mueh evi lance wee there that his tourse of actio was not one of studied deception fror the first? Yes, he would write to Zeph.
