eight -and -twenty -ears of healthful
work and activity, its moderate aims
and small ambitions had been singular-

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

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

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-

said, pausing by the table, on whi '11. lay

"Not too busy' to talk to you,

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

Langley hesitated: she dared not hint
that her uneasiness was chiefly caused
by Queenie herself.
