Hither- , to Ids ahiett sured life, with its eight -and -twenty -ears of healthful work and activity, its moderate aims and small ambitions had been singular- ly free from confli t. Mental disturb- ance, the wearines of selfsargument, the hasaas of storm pessimist had been wholly unknown to dm. lin his ordered existence the pains and penalties of a lover's martyrdom h d not Vexed him. - He was t111 =gee with Dora, but his discomfort did not p oceed wholly from his wrath ; it lay ra her in a concealed fear that he was istaken in his own feelings. After all, was it orathat he wanted? Was the friendship etween them suffi- cient to warrant t e assumption that they would be happ together in a life, long union? Were net her lukewarm- ness, her procraatiu tion, tolerably clear signs that she was in reality as heart - whole as he? Won d it go hardly with either of them if that dust -shaking movement of his sh uld be carried out? There as no en( agement, the tacit understanding bete een them did not even amount to a remise. Dora had rejected his first tat -mpt ta place things on a mere satiafactoi y footing, in reality he was free as -air. Why was her milts- enee so strong over him, then; that he feared to break the oke of his subservi- ence, and so A d, as it were, on the - comfortless bord4rs f uncertainty, bat- tling between tiv a inions? Dora was still aue y at Brussels, but Mr. Cunningham le d returned. From - him Garth learned t at they had found the invalid in a f r more precarious state than they ha I at first imagined. The fever had subsi ed,but had been fol- lowed by a serious a tack on the lengs. It was impossible fo - her sister to leave her ;sand Mr, OHM' sgham feared that a wiater ie. the smith f France wonld be imperattvely needed Dora wrote a shor letter soon after to the same effeet. The sight of the well-known charac- ters moved Garth to certain impatience. Why had she writte to him ? how did she know that his anger was not still hot against her? "It isegrievous to see dear Fle's suf- ferings," she wrot She is such a patient -creature, a d does all she is told; but at one th e we hardly dated to hope that she wo Id be spared to us.

But I must not think of that‘ I am afraid I think of you all a great deal too. much, the prospect of the long winter away from every one makes medreadfully homesick. Write and tell. me' how dear papa looks, and how every one is, and all about yourself, and believe me al- ways and ever your faithful friend, DORA." Garth's. answer was very cool and matter -of -feet. It contained a full de- scription of Miss Palmer's wedding, with lengthy messages to Beatrix and Flor- ence, and a few fornial words Of con- dolence over her prolonged absence. " It must he such a bore to be exiled agaihst one's will," wrote Garth, but he did not say one word. about himself. Dora heaved a little sigh of regret as she folded up theletten "Poor fellow! he is still very angry with me," she thought to herself. Garth took a long,: solitary walk when he had finished his epistle, it had taken' him more than an hour to compose, and yet it had hardly filled .one sheet of note -paper. He was heavy with -dis- comfort, and yet a feeling of triumph, was uppermost. - "She will see that I am not to be played with; that I regard thyself as free, and mean to keep my !freedom' " he -said to himself, as he trampedthrough the cduntry roads in the starlight-, ! - It was the beeinnine Of November, an 2, and there was a keeh, .frosty feeling in the air. The fields, that bordered the road on either side lookedblack in the_ dim light; the trees looked gaunt •and grotesque, stretching out their encloth- ed limbs in the darkness; the gray -stone walls seemed dim and unsubstan- tial. Garth walked on with long, even strides. The cold air, the exercise, stirred his young blood, and drove away despondent fancies; in their place came pleasurable images; faint, yet full of grace, ma,king pulsation stronger within him. When did the thought first ochar to him? When and 'where? or was it a thought at all, or only a feeling or sen- timent? A novel sensation not to be described and certaiely not to be ana- lyzed, had taken possession of him the very night after his interview with Dora, when sore and. angry, he had be- taken himself to the cottage. - It was strange how that pictere of the two sisters haunted! him. Sometimes, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he recalled it vividly: the child curled up on the rocking -chair, the girl kneeling on the rug with the plate of cakes in her hand, rthe firelight shining on her round, dimpled arms and flushed face,' and then her: paleness, ;and the startled brightne-ss of her eyes, k when she turned to him. • Had Dora ever grawn pale at the sight of him? had she ever moved his better. nature by such sweet, strong werds as those that greeted his ear that night? " What js it that Imen do not under-. stand ?" he had asked her, in his simple, straightforward 'way. - "The blessedness pf giving," she had answered him, without gull; ot hesita- tion,—" the privilege of being able to see and love what is highest and best without shoPe or thought of return. Some women feel like that." Good heavens! could She_. --was it a bare possibility that she could be 'speak- ing of herself? and though, a smornent after, he repelled this thought with a blush of shame over the vanity of -.such a supposition, other words conspired to haunt him. "1 hose who have sympathy here must have sympathy there," she had gravely assurred hiln, and her earnestness had moved him to excitement. What if this sympathy were between they two,—be- tween him, Garth Clayton, and the young creature that lie had befriended ? "Dolt, fool, idiot! that's what I've been for my pains, " growled Garth be- tween his teeth, as be ettatak at a young sapling with! his stick; "as though one couid map and tkce out oneo feel ing and one's life in that way: What is Dora to me, after all, compared to this girl, this stranger, *horn I aid not know six months ago and yet, like -a blockhead, I must try to bind myself ttoe her, and call her my Fate:" !.O.nd then iie soften- ed and grew pitiftl. " Poor Dora! poor, dear -Dora ! he said, with a kind- ly memory of his ola plaYmate, and all his anger died out of him. After all, there was a very- true friendship between them, none the less - that he did. het deceive hirtmelf and that he called it by: its right name. , Garth meant to go home Straight that night, like the good young man be was; but, somehow, before he was aware he had anlatehed the little gate. Perhaps it was the sound of Laagley's voice in the Porch that -determined him.- Of course, it was the slut3r of an affectionate brother to escort her home. But Langley had only left her own. warm fireside to visit an galling child in the village. and was carrying the report to the young school -mistress. She still wore -her Sister -of -Mercy's gray -cloak, as Cathy called it, which Queenie was half coaxingly, half play- fully trying to unfasten. She started at Langley's surprised exclamation, and again that paleness was perceptible. As for Garth, he flushed 'a little over the girl's evident surprise. . " I heard your voice, Langley, and so I followed you in," he said, gravely, looking at her and not at Queenie. All at once he seemed embarrassed and ill ease;at his usual assurance .had left him. Now you have come you must both stay," replied. Queenie, brightly ; she had recovered. from her momentary agi- tation. "Langley has brought me a very sad account oft poor little Bessie. 1 must go down there the first thing in the morning." "Where is Minnie?" 'asked Garth, looking lovingly at the empty rooking- chair, but not daring to take possession. Langley's cloak still hung round her in straight long folds : she stood quietly warming herself by the fire,• looking 'down on the flame evith a thoughtful, -intent face. " Emmie is tired and has gone to bed. Do tyou know,", looking up at Garth rather sorrowfully, " I am afraid she is 'not as strong as sheought to be. I have been telling Langley so.: I often find her lying on the rug in the twilight, and yet' she will have it she is only tired." ; -"She is growing so fast; children are often languid at that age; you must not be over-anxious," he returned, 'kindly. "How can I help it? she is all I have," replied the girl, turning from .him to hide the tears in her eyes. The kindness of his tone had brought them there. Garth looked after her wistfully, but he said no more. "Come, Garth, it is late, and we.must not stay," exclaimed Langley, rousing 'herself. She put her hand on his arm and drew him gently on without eem- -ing to notice his .reluctance. Queenie stood in the porch and atch- ed theril till they were out of sight " Hoev kin he is to -night !-- inder than usual," he thought, as she f sten- ed up the door and went in. - The brother and sisterwere som what silent as their walked up the lane: Langley was taking counsel witl her-_ self. When Garth entered his study she followedbim, Somewhat to hi sur- prise. Are you very busy to -night she said, pausing by the table, on whi '11. lay , several letters, Dora's among then. "Not too busy' to talk to you, i that is what you mean," returnedarth, pleasantly. If the truth Inuit be known, he vould rather have had his study to hims1ee of ilf to night; but selfishness was not - Garth's faults : perhaps Langley needed his advice :_ so he stirred up the fire, drew the - easy -chair towards it and then relieved his sister_ of her heavy cloak. "We have none of us heard from Brussels but you," elle observed, ailment- ly, as she perused the ebvelope ?efpre her. " Garth'hope you will not be vexed. with me', but I think, as thilaga are between_yoa .and Dora, that you ought not to go. So -nmeh to the cot- tage." " Garth nearly *topped the - poker. "Et tu, Brute !

"Y u are such is good, kind creature, t at it would , never °Car to you .that your kindness could Molt aaiy one; but Miss Marriott's position amorig es is tome - what peculiar." - "1 thought she Was Cathy's friend,". he resPoncled, a little crassly.
