After all, the gong sounded before he
was. ready ; but Mr: Cunningham re-
teitedihis excuses with good-humor,and
dinnerpassed off with Perfect tranquil-
ity. It struck Garth that Beatrix was
rather quiet and a trifle' dull, and he had
sorne difficulty in winning a look or re-
sponse from her; but he soon desisted
from his attempts. - "Poor child, , she

Garth ushed uneasily: the inference
was too bvious.
":Did say a word about hating or

displeas re. In his vexation he had call-

when the coffee was brought in, but, to
- his surinise, Flo made her appearance.
"Dori has sent me to look after the fire .
while papa takes his nap," remarked
Flo, very coolly, as he produced her,
knitting and planted herself comfortably
on the rag. "Papa has had rheuma-
tism very badly, and if the fire goes out

Nchat will happen, finished Flo,with
a- toss of her enrly head that reminded
. him of Dora.
"My girls spoil me dreadfully,"
abserved Mr. Cunningham, - fondly.
"Don't let me keep you, Garth : we
shall be in to tea presently." And
there was nothing for Garth but to with-
draw.
But his heart quailed within him
when he entered the drawing -room, and
found Dora seated alone by the fire, ap-
parently doing nothing but toying with
a little screen. •
,
"What bee become of Beatrix ?" he
asked, at once, stopping half -way and
looking round for his favorite. !
"Beattie has a letter that se must
t
finish to -nigh, and will be downi bresent-
ly," returned Dora, carelessly : " she is
writing in the old school -room. You re-
member -the school -room, doyou not,and
the cosy teas we have had there? we
still keep it for the girl's! use. I must
gqt papa to do it up prettily for them
next summer." - 1
'Couldn't she have left her letter un-
til to -morrow- ?" asked Girth, half laugh-
ing, but the little _ subterfuge secretly
.elispleased him. Why should his.favor-
ite be banished to that dreary school-
room9 and why. should Flo be set to
watch her father's 'slumbers ? "1 don't
like the look of this at all," he muttered
to himself, and again that allusion to
Circe -crossed his mind.
"Coale and sit down," exclaimed
Dora, with playful petulance. " Never
t mind. Beattie's whim; girls will. have
their awn, way, and she does not mean
to be rude ; and BOW tell me, sir, why
you haNle been se cool all this time, and
treated me so shabbily ?" i
He was in 'for it now, he saw,* but
he feigned to misunderstand her.
" Haiv have I treated you shabbily?"
he asked, with a tolerable assumption of
innocence.
There as an ominous flash in Dora's
blue eyes, but She answered him gently
and plaintively:
in your letters, to be sure :
they w ee as brief and cold as possible,'
not a trice of the old friendship, not
even a regret at my long ebsence. They
deserve Cto be burned, every one of
them, ut I hadn't the heart," dropping
her voice and looking at him with
dangerous sweetness.
"I wish you had," he returned, cool-
ly, for he was in no Mood for this sort

over him to amuse himself with aimless

he went on, gravely; and then he re-

about the failure of his fortimes.

"There is sonaethine elseI have not

lutien suddenly, and determined to put
a stop, at all risks, to this dangerous
softness : "but then, to be sure, I have
only just known it myself. Have you
heard that our sehool-mistrese, Miss
Marriott, has come into- a large for-

"It is a Whim of hers hiding it from

A ifew days after this Queenie was re -

Bantle met her at the door of -the 'cottage
' with her finger on her lip and a general
air o

mystery about her.
"That is it, Emmie ?" asked her
e somewhat wearily. "Run in but

cough, I see,"
I Why is it so dreadfully ,cold,

" The -winter is over, and yet the wind
seems to blowtright through one. .Who
do yau think is in there, Queen? actu-
ally ,Mis Cunningham. She has been
sitting ti ere nearly an hbur, I believe."
"Miss Cunningham 1"i unable to be-

• "Yes; ▪ Miss Cunningham. • Oh !"
dropping her voice to a whisper, "she

and Itias blue eyes like our kitten's; but
some ow I can't like her. She asked
me such lots of questions all about
Uncle. Andrew and our being rich; but,
do yau know, I don't think she quite
liked our lending Mr. Garth • that
money."
"h, Emniie you never tOld her
that ?" in such alorrified voice that the
child looked frightened.
"Was it such a great secret? I didn't
kno-w you would mind," faltered
Eannie ; "and she was saying such nice
things about Mr. Garth." -
Yes, it was a` secret," returned
Queepie, more calmly.- " Don't you re-
member we are not to let' our left hand
knoW what our right hand doeth ?' But
never mind, it is done now ; " for
Eau -tile's eyes were already filling with
tears at the notion of Queenie s. dis-

and her li tie furred gauntlets also. Her

the dark lostafitt.,tigdress suited her to
a nicety. But as she came forward',
holding out her hand, it struck Queenie
- that she 1 okecl son ewbat pale, and that
her smile was a little fOrped._ 1
"What an age you have beep !" ob-
served Dora, lightlY. "1 have been

believe. I thought ou were never-cam-

have been in vain. suppose Langley
told you of iny retur home?" • 1
"No; I was not a vare of it,' rejoin-
ed Queenie e and now she felt .a little
surprise at Langley's omission.
Dora's delicate eyebrows arched them:

. "How very strang . and her brother
was dining with us 1 st week. He was
our first visitor,of *use,' with a mean-
ing emphasis. "Tie girls are so fend

"Mr. Calcott his been good to inc
and left me all his money. I was poor,
very poor, :when I met you first," her
heart sinking stratly at Dora's words.
Why had she begu to talk of Garth?
" Whea 'people do eccentric • things
they inust expect to have all sorts of
motives imputed to them; What will all
the world say, by tie way, of your lend-
ing all that money 6 Mr. Clayton ?" fix-
ine her, eyes a little -too keenly on
Queenie's face.
" It may say whit it likes," with the
proudest possible manner, for she felt
her Spirit rising at tihis. What did it
matter what the whole world said about
her Conduct, if only her conscience were
clear? "The world :does not believe in
a disinterested friendship," a faint color
coming into her face: "it would sneer at
such an improbability."
" I generally find the world is right,"
returned Dora, with aggravating calm-
ness. ' " Of course i will say you are in
love with Mr, Clayton. • You are pre-
pared for that, Miss Marriott?"
A painful blush overspread the girl's •
face. - 1
"Oh, this is too had !" she exclaimed,
clasping her hands 'nervously.- " Ceti -
not one do a little kindness -in return for
so much without ; having unworthy
motives imputed to brie? \Why do you
come and say such tl.rings to me ?" turn-
ing on her tormento With sudden anger
1 . -
and impatience. " It is no business of
yours : It is nothin to yen if people will
say untrue things of me."
" You are quite wrong there ; it is my
business," returned Dore, quietly. She
did not like her work, but all the same
she must go throu h with it. "It is
just this that is rnr business," she re-
peated and her fac looked worn and ir-
ritable in the firelight. "Miss INIarriott,
you must know—you cannot have been
so much with Langley and Cathy and
not know—that Garth Clayton and I be-
long to each other.":
Then a sudclea aoldness crept over
Queenie.
"You—you are not engaged to him,"'
she said, at length, and her voice sound-
ed -strange to herself ; the horror of such
an announcement almost took her breath
