With the treasure of his wisdom,

Dok-a's sleep was quite peaceful and
broker, while Garth tossed restlessly
-
o his bed half the night, staring open-
eyed into the darkness. She eame down
an the morning in her pretty travelling -

•and was waiLrnly beloved by them in re-
turn. Beatilx was at times almost too
!la ohi for her, with her helplessness I and
iqpu1sive ways, but Flo was to her as
the apple of her eye.

did 0. ' ,
No one knew what to make of the
young master when he, appeared, hot
and iusty, at the works. Two or t ree
of the men had been soundly rated for
some slight omission of duty, and on of
the severest lectures that he had ejver
received from his blather had been m-
ead into Ted's astonished ears.
"I am siek of your laziness and want.
of punctuality, if you. cannot fulfil your
duties properly you must find work
elsewhere, -stormed the young master
of Warstdale. With all his sweet tem-
per, Tedihad much ado net te flare up
midget into a passion. 1
"Haven't we all caught it nicely at
the works' there is a screw loose some-
where," observed Ted, confidentially to
his sisters that evening; as Garth drove
the dog -cart round to the stables.
The brothers had driven home from
the qaarry in perfect silence, and Ted,
-who was etill a little sore over the rating
he had received,:had made mi -attempt
to proinote ;cheerfulness.
"1 hope there is nothing wrong
between him and Dora," observed
. Langley, dropping her work a little
anxiously.
Poor' soul, her troubles had Made her
nervous, but on _that point Ted could.:
not enlighten her. Evidently Garth had
attempted to recover his temper, for. be
came in presently, and greeted his sis-
ters affectionately.
"1 hope you have lost your Mead -
ache, L'angley," he said, as 'he took up
the paper -knife and the latest periodi-
cal and withdrew with them to the win-
dow. , - - ;
"Did you see them off? Have. they ,
had any better acconnts of Florence?
You look tired. and done• up, Garth,"
inquired his sister, anxiously.
"Yes, they went off all right. Miss
Cunningham sendsther love to you and
Cathy. - They ,made me very comfor-
table, as usual, and gave me my old

MOM.e 1 , .
Garth Was tryieg te read bythe even-
ing light, iand his face was hiddea. '
' One is alWayS comfortable at the
vliaarage Dora is such a capital mana-
ger," ret!urned Langley, feeling.her way
in. feminine fashima "Poor girl, Flor-
ence's illness must be a sad, trial to
her." . : • e
'Humph -! she takes it as coolly as
she does most thhigs. When are the
- light coming, and what has become of
tea ?"I demanded Garth, alittle irritably,
and Langley knew that -she was not to
ask any more questions. .
A good night's rest did much towards
restoring Garth's outward equanimity,
but he still chafed secretly under the
mortiftpation he had imdergoee . with a
soreness that surprised himself. The
check he had received had angered and
embittered him. He was not in love
with Dora, after the usual -interpretation
.af the 'word ; neverthelease her yoke lay
heavy upon him; be had learned to see
with her eyes and read with her judg-
ment. In a cool, temperate sort of way
-be had laved and wooed her from his
earliest manhood. 'He -had been a trifle
indifferent to women in general. When
the time came to take a wife, that wife
should be. Dora.• ;
But now the plan of his life was dis-
arranged. He had Waited long enoagb, ,
and now he told himself that no mofe
time should be given, her ; he would
shake :off the dust of -the plate, from
his . feet; - he would ' bear himself
,
as a stranger towards her and her
belongings; but • even while his indig-
nation was bet within him, he knew
that mph resolution would. be vain. Not
e'en now hadhe wholly relinquished
hope. True she had sinned against -him,
and the gravity of the offence demanded
-a fitting punishment. Well, he would
hold aloof from her, and treat her on all
• occasions with studied coldness, until
,she wthild rid herself of this womanish
folly end Capitulate on -his terms. Then,
,
and then dulyewould htforgiye her and
'raise her to the former measure of his
favor..The suereader on her part must
b total. There should be no softness,
n� half -measures, no conciliating per- •
suasion, on his, for the future it should
be , yea, yea, or else nay, nay, between
them. Garth was just in that danger-
ous mood when a straw might decide
the. eurreat of his will, when a trifle
might widen the breach Whic 1 a word
at one time could have spann d. Dora
had little idea of the danger s e risked
when she sent her loece: fro her dise
contented and dissatisfied. " You may -
find it very difficult to recall I e,Dora, .
he ba.d•said to her, with some ' istinctive
prevision of the truth, but sh had not
believed him. '
•' For the,first time the youn master of
Warstdale found . himself re tless and
unhappy; his sleepless night till abid-
ed in his mind as an undeserVed and
lasting Injury. The next day had set iii
wet and stormy.; heavy autu nnal•rains
sweet across the moth's, and flooded the
country read -and the little straggling
town of Ilepshaw. Garth I ad driven
himself and Ted in the sam taciturn
fashion from ' the quarry, nd both
had entered the house, shivering and
uncomfortable, • in their dri ping gar-
ments. i . . .
- " Oh,- yeu poor,dear creatmee!" cried
Cathy, _flying out into the • Iiall to re-
ceive them ; but Ted waved :her 'off
gravely,* and shook himself like a wet
Newfoundland :
" 'Talk no of wasted rain-dropl these • rain-
drops; neverre wasted. ?
If they enrieh not t ie coat of nty. brother, their

Rroadeldth and buckskin are strong, and patiebee
. and muscle are stronger.'" I
. "Bosh 1" Growled Garth, in a sulky
undertone, as he pushed past him some-
what curtly. 7
Ted shdok his head mournfully.
"1 knew a young man nice to see,'"
continued the incorrigible boy,— 7 '
"'Beware beware !
Trust him n t, he will bully thee: '
! '
Take care! take care!'"
" Whatever is the matter with him,
Teddie dear ?" asked his sister, - coai•,-
ingly.
- "Hush !" in a melodramatic tone;
"meddle not with mysteries that be-
long not to thy female province Cathe-
ri-na ride. How do you know w at dark
deed fetters the conscience pf hat un-
•

m

brow, as he rushed •paat me just now?
Reniprse only could have kindled that
fury. '' Dora and despair speak in every
feature." 1
"Oh, do be quiet, you ridiculous boy,
and give me a sensible answer."
But nothing was further from Ted's
purpose. His aggravated' feelings need-
ed some outlet. And when Garti made his
appearance,- refreshed and reh bited, he
found Cathy sitting= the stairs in fits
of meriiment, while Ted stied d to and
free spouting pages of nonsense.
He stopped. and • leaked a little 'fool-
ish at this --sudden apparition ; buthis
` brother took no notice of his confusion. '
" If you keep your wet things on any
longer, you will have an attack of rheu-
matism," he reinarked coldly, as be
made his way past them to the hall 'door.
Both of them started as it slammed vio-
lently after him.
" Where has he gone in all this' rain ?"
asked Cathy, in much distress ; I tit Ted
only shrugged his shoulders and tried not
to look Pleased. For oii ce his brothers
absence was a relief.;
• •
i
Garth Was in no mood to -night for h's
sister's society and Ted's ceaseless fie
of puns. The quiet lion* evening, with
its work and music and gentle gossip,
would have jarred on him in his present
. state of mind. It was' true, %Langley's
tact as seldom at fault and the otherS
could be chided and frowned intosilence, `
but still he would have been loath to
mar, their enjoyment. He was jaded and
tired.; the day's work had been done
aaainet the grain, and he needed rest
J5
and refreshment sorelY. Some impulse,
• for which he could not amen* led him
across to the cottage. '
The rainewas still falling heavily as he
plodded down the miry lane, but a werm

one lattice window across the road. He
