POOR ZEPH I
CHAPTER FII -Continued.
" She has chucked up the business.
She,did. not care to be spoken to by
the governors, and. they said she'd bet-
ter kat% at once; and, added Mr. Car-
rington, "left she has."
e I am sorry she has been so hasty
aa this," D-udley murmured.
" Then me end her had some, words,
too, for wesn't beat pleased withit all,
and. said more than I meant, as people
do when they're riled. And then,".he
continued, as he leaned forward, plant-
ed one of his grimy hands on each of Ins
corduroy knees, and. stared With grave
intentness at the barrister, "she up and
told me every think -who the geetle-
man was,. and whet he was, and where
he lived; how he had been keeping ?•0,-m-
pany witither, oh ! for ever so long; and
was. uncomeaan fond of her,"
" And was troing to marry her," added
Ben, irouicalfy,
That'e what I've called to ask
about," said Mr. Carrington. " I told
Zeph thie morning I should come and
talk to you straightforward like, as
man to man:"
" What did, she say to that 2" asked
Dudley, in, a kw tone.
"She said. I might, and welcome.
She could trust you, she said, to tell the
truth, She would have come with me
ra let her," he continued, " but I
thought it Was best for you and. me to
have this out together."
"Yes -no," said Dudley, irresolutely.
"I wish the had come with you, I
think ?"
e why
I could have explained the whole
matter more clearly, perhaps," was his
slow answer.
" What did I tell you ?" growled' Ben
to his compenion. "Didn't I say so ?
Can't y -cu see what his game's been ?
Haven't I said so all along?"
"I wilt not have your interference," -
cried Dudley Grey, fiercely, at 'last ;
it's no business of yours-"
" yes, it is," answered Ben, stolid-
ly but boldly ; for, you see, if you had-
ett stepped between me and Zeph, she
would have been, my wife by this time;
I wanted her to be, I liked her aw-
Rd 2,1
" Hal your row, Ben," seid Mr: Car-
rington ; and let me speak. It is my
place, not yourn, to talk."
" Go it," muttered Ben. ; "but I arint
going to be told it's not my business."
"Let's get to the rights of it," or t
wronge of it," said. • Mr. Cerringto,
" that's what I have eolile for, .11
Grey. What am to meke out of a
this ?-thet my laughter ain't goo
enough for you, and never was? Th
you've thought it a fine thing to tak
her out and unsettle her from ell o
homely ways ? That you've Warned he
head, aed made her believe you're de
perate in love with her, end you've nev
er ineent it all the time ? That yo
would have ruined her if you could, an
told your swell friends afterward, you'
thrown another women on the streets
That's it now; own it like the scam
you are !" •
Dudley Grey winced beneath these
hard words, and. the shame of his posi,
Um?. berned red attains -face. He might
have expected to be tedged like this by
one whose heart was in his child's good
name and fame. He was judged up -
mercifully, but it was eatural the man
should think in this way, and disbelieve
any statement he might attempt in ex-
tenuation of his conduct. Extenuation !
it was beyond him. He made the at-
tempt, however.
"Mr. Carriegton, you do me an in-
justice," he said ; yon think too badly
, of the pesitiou altogether. I have never
_had a thought against your daughter's
happiness -never one -thought of doing
her an iejnry. have been very weak
and foolish -your daughter has become
a dear friend. of mine -I have the most
profeand esteem for her ; I would rath-
er die than a word shoulds be breethed
against her." 1 •
"They are talking of her already ;
the young women at the bueiness-not
one -hall of them as good. as she it -are
piekine her to pieces ; they have torn.
her caracter to rags ; I they will speak
of her semi. in our street, where the
story come round sharp enough.
Now you have done her ell this harm,
hut you doe't say hoW youpropose to set
it right."
"-Mid can I do ?"
" What Zeph told Me you meant
to do, what you have led her to expect
all this while," said Me. Carrington-
" marry bier."
"I would do it to -morrow if it were
in my power, but it isn't" said Dud-
ley.
"Meaning you ere' metaled already,
‘tiperhepe?"
"No, I am not merried. I am en-
gaged, I -but I will write to your
datighter- will explain everything,
and she will understend me awl forgive
me. For God's sake, leave me !" Dud-
ley entreated.. " I am wretched ; don't
you see that 2"
"I don't care a damn for your wretch-
edees," said Mr. Currington, bluntly-
" What's it to me? What t,are you but a
mart who, would. have lea my wroug
Yoe could ?"
On my soule-no !"
" 'Pon my soul, yes !" cried Mr. Cer-
iington. " These things don't step when
yon like -it's tat atiwn. hin-and you
meant to drag her into the ditch at the
bottom., It's the way of hell of the deV-
ils of your sort that skulk about the
streets to (lit -grace pear girls, whose „ig-
uorauce makes it easy work. Ihave had,
your answer.-
" Not yet, I will write e letter to
Zepli at once."
"Doe% trouble yourself," said. her
father ; I should not let her read it.
I can ge Jenne and tell her in half a
dozen worde she was -wrong aud I was
right in what we said of you this morn-
ing.'
“ No, don't , tell her anything ; pray
let me write to her," urged Dudley.
" Are you ping to say you will matey
" :her ?" Carriugton asked. as he rose.
" I am going to relate the whole story
of my position -to explain to-"
" That '11 ; doe't choose she shall
sed• it, or see you ever agein. Come,
Ben, let us tleave this gentleman," he
said.
They walked slowly from the room;
they went away without another word;
and Dedley was thanking Heayeu for
their departure, when the flushed face
of the father peeredr: round the door
again.
"I may as well tell you, what think
of you before I go. I sha'n't be very
easy witheet:' said Zeph's father.
