• QUEENIE'S WHIM.
CHAPTER VI. (Continued.)
"I am sorry to ask a lady to with-
draw, but I will hear no more."
One moment, and I will take your
hint," returned Queenie,,– rising and
turning very pale. " You are mereiliesS,
Mr. alcott, but you will not find me
troublesome after this. Though we were
perishing of hunger, though Emmie
were dying in my arms, I will not crave
your bounty. You have received. me
coldly," she continued with emotion,
" you have /given me hard, sneering
words, but I do not resent them; you
are refusing to helP me in my bitter
strait; you are leaving me young and
single handed to fight this cruel,' cruel
world; you have disowned your own
niece, and are sending me back to her
almost broken hearted, but I will not
reproach you ; nay, if it would not make
you angry, I could almost say I am sorry
lor you."
Sorry for me I Is t4 girl mad !"
but again the white eyebrows twitched
uneasily.
I am sorry for you," repeated
Queenie, in her dear young voice, " be
cause you are old and lonely;,because
you have only hard, miserable thoughts
to keep you company ; because when
you are ill no one will comfort yonewhen
you die no one will shed tears over your
grave. .It must be so dreadful," con-
tinued the girl, "not to want love, to he
able to do without it. Don't be angry,
Mr. Calcott, I am sorry for you; I am
indeed."
Not only the eyelids, but the rigid
lines of the mouth twitched convulsively
but his only answer was to point to the
door; but, as though irresistibly and
painfully attracted by this spectacle of
loveless old age, Queenie still lingered.
Enunie never forgets you sir. She
does not love you; how can she? but
she stilt says the prayer mamma taught
her,---' God bless pear Uncle Andrew.'
Now I have seen you I shall ask her
never to forget it."
"Leave me," was all his answer ; and
this time Queenie obeyed him. Had she
remained she would have been fright-
ened. by the change that came over him.
The veins of the forehead were swollen
and -purple now, the twitching of the
month increased, a strange numhness
seemed creeping over him. That night
Mr. Calcott was alarmingly ill.
. almoat wholly from -public life, and
people said his health -was failing. Queenie
pondered over this problem till her head
ached, and the organ changed „melody
and broke out into a sweet .minor key;
then • a magnificent solemn preiu le,
sounding the keynote of every possible
pain, an infinite march - of woe trac ng
the footsteps of a -Divine majestic lsfe,
and wrapping wonderful meanings and
solemn hint's in every chord, --C nil
Queenie knew shewas listening to Han-
del's unrivalled overtstre to she " Mes-
siah." t- .
The salter Music pleased her better
and Made the tears flow, a luxury' iot
i often indulged by the overtasked go s ers

Her trials were great, no doubt, but
had youth and health and energy,
Eminie and Cathy loved her. By
bye when this dreadful winter was ca me
and spring came, they would go down to
Cathy's home and Emmie would be -a
happy child for some weeks . at least.;
they must live inhope of that. After alle
there Must be a- meaning. in the pain
they had to bear; and then Queenie
thought of a strange pietnre she . lad
iti,
seen as a child, painted by a poor. hi. zY
-artist iihing. in their neighborhood . at
least her father had said he was erazy.
though she and her . stepmother had
thought otherwise. Itwascalled ." The
March ' of Suffering," and it was ex-
plained to .Queenie that it was an alle-
gorical picture of life. Her father had
pished and pooh-poohed it I as a (Bahiai
caricature, but her stepmother had • shed
tears over it, she remembered; one of
the figures had attracted them both, -a
young girl with .a sweet, resolate faeee
carrying a spiked cross in her 'bleeding
hand, an old man before her had fallen
down, and lay With his gray hair grovel, .
ling in . the dust, and .still holding' the
torturing cross firmly with one hand,she
had stooped to raise him. .
The face . and -figure lingered in '
Queenie's 'childish memory, and recurred
to her -mind as the Solemn . 'notes of the
" Messiah i," reverlesrated through the
cathedral.' " "My cross has spikes too,"
she - thought.; . and. 'then the workmen.
went out noisily shouldering 'their, twits;
and the young man with the tenor voice
came clanking - through the choir, and.
stared at Poor pale Queenie' as though '
she were a ghost, and. the Organ died.
' away ..,with a _long plaintive Wail.
Queenie -followed them reluctantly ;_
the buns were htill in her pocket,but she
had forgotten her faintness. . As she
stepped out into the dark narrow .clOse
she could see the windows of the Dean'S
house brightly illuminate:it.; a few Stars

CHAPTER VII.
LOCKED 'IN.
"The Path my father's foot

And passed) -alone I carried on and set
My child -heart ''eainst the thorny underwood
To reach the grass.shelter of the trees, "
Ah, babe i' the wood, whithout a brother babe !

-Aurora.Leigh.
As the asses of the inhospitable mansion
closed behind. Queenie she was conscious
Pfn strangte, feeling of revulsion and
wea,knessl a blank, hopeless depression
of mind and. body. At the first touch of
the keen wintry air she shivered and
staggered slightly.
"All this has been too much .for me;
I wonder if I am ill," she said to herself,
in a vague, wondering way;.and then
she remembered-- that she had eaten
nothing since the early morning. Sus--
pense and anxiety had deprived her of
appetite, and she had sent away her din-
ner nntasted. " Whatever happens, I
must keep Strong, for Emnaie's sake,"
she thought, and she went into a baker's
shop and bought two buns ; but as she
broke one she remembered that Etrunie's
sickly appetite had turned that day
from the unteinpting viands placed be-
fore her.
" Fannie will eat these, she is so fond.
of buns," she thought, and she asked for
a glass of water, which the woman gave
civilly enough, telling her that she
looked faint and ought to rest for a while,
but Queenie thanked her and shook her
head.
For a little while she walked on aim-
lessly : she felt stunned and broken, and
felt that she dare not face Emmie until
she had recovered herself. She was too
weak to walk far, hut where could she
? She could not face Caleb's eager
questioning, she thought and yet his
house was her only haven. Service at
the cathedral had long been over, the
minor canon and some of 'the choir -boys
had brushed past her in the High street.
laughing and. talking merrily ; if she
could only go and sit there for a little
until she felt stronger. Then she re-
membered in a dazed. sort of way that
she had heard that the workmen were
doing some repairs in the nave,and were
working late ; it might be worth her
while to find out if they had left one of
the doors open. She felt ft momentary
sensation of pleasure at discovering this
was the case. One or two of the men
were -still there, and the organist was
praetiaing some Christmas anthems,
Queenie crept into one of the canon's
carved stalls and listened. A light
gleamed from the organ, but the altar
and choir were in deep shadow. The
men were laughing over their, work ;
beautiful tenor voice broke out with
Camnod's 'Bethlehem," the organ pealed
and reverberated through the dim aisles.
Christmas-tinte, " peace and good will
on earth, the angels' sone," sounding
through all time. Alas ! :-hat peace in
the sore, rancorous heart of the old man
she had. just left ! Ought she not to feel
pity for one -whom the good angel of
mercy had forsaken ?
"The tender mercies of the wicked
are cruel." Where had she heard, those
words? In ehureh, of course. Was
Mr. Calcott wicked, or was he simply a
soured vindictive man who cousidered
himself ill used by the world.
Her stepmother had loved him and
left him, and then had yearned after
him with a bitterness of yearning that
'had shortened her Vife. Why had she
accused herself on her death -bed of sel-
fishness in leaving him ? She had hinted
indeed more than once of some great
trouble that had warped his nature in
early manhood.; and yet what brother
had the right to demand the sacrifice
of a sister's whole life'? Her step-
mother had no morbid views of duty,lmt
she had chidden herself for so leaving him
There must be some mystery of which
even Caleb was ignorant. Caleb and
his fellow clerks spoke shudderingly of
the fits of ungovernable rage to which
Mr. Calcott was subject at times;.and
Queenie knew that Mr many years he
had led the life, of a recluse. People
spoke of him as an eccentric person, a
misanthrope, in fact; but he was not
generally disliked, though his clerks and
'servants feared him. He gave largely in
charities, and was always first in the
subscription list in the town, and spoke
handl at vestries. The firm of Calcott
