HOW I MAItRIMXHIM.
TEM CONFESSION OF A YOUNG LADY.
CHAPTER VI.
The next morning we were startled•
by an extraordinary proceeding on the
part of one cd the guests.
Mr. Sax had left Cartiham Hall by
the first train ---nobody knew why.
Nature has laid—so, at least, philoso-
phers say—some heavy burdens upon
women. Do those learned persons in-
clude in their list the burden of hyster-
ics? If so I cordielly agree with them.
It is hardly worth speaking of in my
case—a constitutional outbreak in the
solitude of my own room, treated with
eau de cologne and water, and quite for-
gotten -afterward. in the absorbing em-
eploymeitt of education.My favorite
pupil, Freddie, had been up earlier than
the rest of us, breathingthe morning
a
- air in the fruit garden. e had seen
Mr. Sax, and asked whe he was com•
ing back again. Mr. Satil had said, “I
shall be back again next mouth." (Dear
little Freddie I)
In the meanwhile we in the school
room, had the proepect before us of a-
dult time in an empty house. The re-
maining guests were to go away at the
end of the week, their hostess being en-
gaged to pay a visit to some old friends
in Scotland.
During the net three or four days,
. though I was often alone with Mrs.
Fosdyke, she never said one, word on
the subject of Mr. Sax. Once or twice
I caught her looking at Me with that
unendura,bly significant smile of he's.
Miss Melbury was equally unpleasdnt
in another way. Wheu we accidentally
met on the stairs her black eyes shotat
me passing glances of hatred and scorn.
Did these two ladie4 presume to
think—?
No: I abstained' from completing
that inquiry at the time, an abstain
from completing it here. —
The end of the week came, and I and
the children were left alone at Uarsha;m
Hall.
I took advantage of the leisure hours
at my disposal towrite to Sir Gerard;
respectfully inquiring after his health,
and informing him that I had , been
again mot fortunate in my engagement
as a governese. By return post an an-
swer arrived. I eagerly opened it. The
first lines informed me of Sir Gerard
Royland's death:
The letter dropped from my hands.
I looked at my tittle enameled cross.
It is not for me to say, what I felt.
Think of all that I owed to him, and
remember hoer lonely mybot was in the
world. I gave the children a holiday ;
items only the truth to tellthern that I
was not wed.
How long an interval passed before I
could call to mind that I bad only read
the first lines of the letter, I am not
able to say. When I ditake it up I
d
was surprised to see that the writing
covered two pages. Beginning again
where I had left aff, my head, in a mo-
ment more, began to swim
A. horrid fear overpowered me that I
might not be. in my right mind after I
had read the first sentence. Here they
are, to answer for me that I exaggerate
nothing.
"The will of our decoase4l client isnot
yet proved: But, with thd sanction of
the execntors, I inform yoie confidenti-
•ally that you are the person chiefly in-
terested in it. Sir Gerard Royland be-
queaths to you, absolutely,Ithe whole of
his personal property, amounting to
the sum of seventy thousand pounde'
If the letter had ended there I really
cannot imagine what. extravagance I
might not have coronaitted. But the
writer (heed partner in the firm of Sir
Gerard's lawyers) had something to say
in his own behalf. The manner in
which he said it strung up my nerves in
an instant. I can not, and will not,
copy the words here. It islquite revolt-
ing enough to give the ubstatice of
them.
The man's object was ev deetly to let
me perceive that he distipp oved of the
will. So far, I do not corn lain of him
—he had, no doubt, good reason for the
view he took. But, in expressing his
surprise 'fat this extraordinary -proof of

meaning was plain; and p t, at least,
of the motive came out in he conclud-
ing sent ela ces.
"Sir Gerard's son, as you are doubt-
less aware, is not seriously affected by
the will. He is already far more liber-
ally provided for, as heir u der the en-
tail to the whoie of the len ed property.

At first I was too indignai t to be able
to think of what I ought io -do. Our
post time was late, and my head ached
as if it would burst into pieces. I had
plenty of leisure to rest. and compose
myself. When I got cool again, I felt
able to take my OW13 part, thont ask-
ing any one to help me.
Even if I had been treat d kindly, I
should certainly not hay taken the
money when there was a re ative living
with a claim to it.
What did I want with a large for-
tune? To buy a husband ith it per-
haps. No, no ! From all hat I have
heard, the great Lord Cha cellor was
quite right when he said th t a women
with money at her own di pcsal was
"either kissed out of it or k oked out of
it sieweeks after her marri oe." The
one difficulty before me was not to give
up my legacy, but to expree my reply
with sufficient severity, and t the same
time, with due regard to my own self-
respect. Here is what I Wrote:
“Sin :—I will not trouble ton by at-
tempting to express my sin, ere regret
on, hearing of Sir Gerard Royla,nd's
death. You would probably form your
own opinion on that subject also, and I
have DO wish to be judged b your un-
enviable experience of hum ity for the
it
second time.
"With regard to the leg cy, feeling
the deepest gratitude to my generous
benefactor, I nevertheless refuse to re-
ceive the money-.
"Be pleased to send me the necessary
document to aign. for transferring my
fortune to that relative of Sir Gerard's
mentioned in your letter. The one coiv
dition on which I insist is, that my
name shall'be kept a secret from the
person in whose favor I resign the
money. I do not desire, even supposing
that justice is done to my motives on
this occasion, to be made the object of
expressions of gratitude for only doing
my duty."
So I ended. I may be wrong, but I
call that strong writing.
In due coarse of post a formal ac-
knowledgment arrived. I was request-
ed to wait for the document until the
will -had been proved, and was inform=
ed that my name would be kept strictly
secret in the interval. On this owe.-
sion the executors were almost as luso.'
lent as the lawyer. They felt- it their
duty to give me time to consider a deci-
ftiOU which had been evidently fermed„
on itnpulee. Ah, how hard men ''areetd
at least, some of them.
I locked up the acknowledgment in
disgust, resolved to think no more about,
it until the time came for getting rid of
my legacy. I kissed poor Sir Gerard's
little keepsake. While I was still look-
ing at it the good children came in, of
their own accord, to ask how I was. I
was obliged to draw down the blind of
mti room, or they would have seen the
tears in my eyes. For the first time
since my mother's death I felt the
heartache. Perhaps the children made
me think of the happier time when I
was a child myself.
CHAPTER nil.
The will bad been proved, and I was,
informed that the document was in
course of preparatime- when Mrs. Fos -
dyke returned from her visit to Scot-
land.
She thought me looking pale and
Worn.
"The time seems to me to have
come," she said, "when I had better
make you and Mr. Sax understand each
other. Have you been thinking peni-
tently of your own bad behavior ?"
I felt myself blushing. I had been
thinking of my conduct to Mr. Sax—and
I was heartily ashamed of it, too.
Mrs. Fosdyke went on, half in jest,
half in earnest,
"Consult your own sense of pro-
priety," said she. "Was the poor man
to blame for not being rude encugh to
say no when a lady asked 'him to turn
.over her music? Could he help it if
the same lady persisted in flirting with
him? He ran away from her the next
morning. Did you deserve to be told
why he left us? Certainly not—after
the vixenish manner in which you
handed the bedroom candle to Miss
Melbary. You foolish girl! Do you
think I could'nt see that you were in
love with him? Thank heaven, he's
too poor to marry you, and take you
away from my children, for some time
to come. There will be a long marriage
engagement, even if he is magnan-
imous enough to forgive you. Shall I
ask Miss Melbury to come back with
him?"
She took pity on the at last and sat
down to write to Mr. Sax. His reply,
dated from a_ country house some
twenty miles distant, announced that
he would beat Carsham Hall in three
days' time. -
On that third day the legal paper
that I was to sign arrived by post. It
was Sunday morning; I was • alone in
the school -room.
In writing to me the lawyer had hilly
alluded to "a surviving relative of Sir
Gerard, nearly akin to him by blood."
The document was more explicit. It
described the relative as being Sir Ger-
ard's nephew, the son of his sister. The
name followed.
It was Seetus Cyril Sax.
I have tried, on three different sheets
of paper, to describe the effect which
this discovery produced on me—and I
have torn them up one after another.
When I only think of it, my mind
seems to fall back into the helpless sur-
prise and confusion of that time. After
all that had passed ?between us—the
man himself being then on his way to
the house—what would he think of me?
what, in Heaven's name,mhat was I
to do. -
How long I sat petrified, with the
document in my lap, I never knew.
Somebody knocked at the school room
door, and look in and said something,
and went out again. Then there was
an interval. Then the door was opened
again. A hand was laid kindly on my
shoulder. I looked up, and there was
Mrs. Fosdyke, asking, in the greatest
alarm, what was the matter with me.
The tone of her voice roused me into
speaking. I could think of nothing but
Mr. Sax; I could only say,
"Has he conae ?"
"Yes—and waiting to see you."
Answering in those terms she glanced
at the paper in my lap. In the extrem-
ity of my helplessness I acted like a
sensible creature at last. I told Mrs.
Fosdyke all that I have told here.
She neither spoke nor moved until I
had done. Her first proceeding after
that was to take me in her arms and
give me a kiss. Having so far encour-
aged me, she next spoke of poor Sir
Gerard.
“We all acted like fools," she an-
nommed, "in needlessly offending him
by protesting against his second inar-
liege. I don't mean you—I mean his
son, his nephew, and myself. If his
second marriage made him happy,what
business had we with the dieparity of
years between husband. and wife? I
can tell you this, Sextus was the first of
us to regret what he had done. But kr
his stupid fear of being suspected of an
interested motive, Sir Gerard might
have known there was that much good
in his sister's son.
She snatched up a copy of the will,
which I had not even noticed thus far.
"See what the kind old man says of
yen.," she went on,pointing to the words.
I could not see them ; she was obliged
to read them for me.
“I leave my money to the one person
living, who has been more than worthy
of the little I have done for her, and
whose simple. unselfish nature I know
that I can trust.".
I pressed Mrs. Fosdyke's hand I was
not able to speak. She took up the
legal paper next.
"Do justice to yourself and be above
contemptible scruples," she said, "Sex-
tets is fond enough of you to be almost
worthy of the sacrifice that you are mak-
ing. Sign, and I will sigu next -as the
witness."
I hesitated. "What will he think bf
