"Shall you want to k p me if I get too dreadfully tired?" she asked, lan- idly. "Don't cry any more, Queen, will stop just as long as I can But Queenie only shivered afresh and •dried her eyes. ' " Sit by the fire, darling," she said, trying to return to her useal Manher. 4 4! Patience shall eive yo e„ your tea. I shall not be very Itimg, Emmie." I" Are you going out again?" in a dis- & pointed tone. "The muffins are all r , dy,-and . I thought we should be so cesey this evening.' ee I shall not be long," repeated her sieter, hastily. 'She knew she could not have swallow- ed food in her present state of suspense, and before Emmie could again remon- st ate she had left the cottage and was o4 thei way to Juniper Lodge. . She found Dr. Stewart in his sergery. She faneied he listened a little gravely _ tee heraccount. i" She has not come under my notice for the last six or seven weeks, he said, - as' he prepared, at Queenie's 'urgent re- criest,t to accompanM her. ' " In my opinicei she has always been a delicate child. Such an illness as you have d cribed may leave its effects for yIars." a they entered the parlor they found ‘Erinnie stretched on the rug as usual, and this time Qt. -teethes heart sank with - miller at the sight. - ' Oh, Emmie, you , are not tired again?" she stud, almost impatiently, fee she leered that this would impress It. 'Stewart unfavorably, but he appar- ently took no ilotice. He witched the child with keen attention as she rouged herself somewhat feebly and came to- wards them. " Has Queenie asked you to make me lees tired ?" she demanded, gravely, fix- ing her blue eyes on his face. "Young creatures like you ought never to be tired," he answered cheer- fully. "Do- you often lie down in this f lion, eh ?" • '1 lie down because my bones ache, an I have such an odd, fumy feeling: so etirnee." e , And then, as Die Stewart questioned he jokingly about the feelings, she told hien in her childish way of all manner of strange fancies and dreams that troubled beT, and of the queer faintness that ea e over her at times; mid -how her cough began to hurt her, and how she got more tired and good-for-nothing every day.. _ - Dr. Stewart's face grew graver as he listened. When he had finished a most careful examination of the child he sat for a little while in silence, while Queenie • watched him anxiously. ‘I'I am afraid he thinks Emmie very delicate," she said to herself, But she little knew Dr. Stewart's thoughts at. that moment. . "If she had called me in earlier I could have done nothing," he thought. " The child is in a rapid decline. I • woInder if it would be more merciful to tell her so at once, or to let her find it out gradually for herself." And, being a -Very tender-hearted man, --he inclined to the latter course. So when Emmie had been sent away on some errand, and Queenie began her anxious queetioning, he answered her - evasively. - "Do you think her very ill ? ought I to , have sent for you before, Dr. Stew- art'?" " Well, no, I don't see what I -could hehe dene. . Of course the child is very delicate,—in a very bad state of health, I Omelet say : she is very fanciful and morbid too; all these imaginative chil- dren are. You must rouse her and keep he cheerful.'s - "But was Miss Cunningham right? will tee cold spring hurt her ?" . . ` "Ah, that is just what rivas gring to say. I don't think ournorthern climate ageees; with her, it is too strong and bracing, Yee are your own miseress,. why don't Yon take her south? Any wateriugeplaa would do,—Torquay, or Bournernouth, or even St. , Leonards-. The change may give her a few months," he said to. himself. . "Sea air I is that what she needs ?" . asked Queenie„ with a sudden (Wieling .-, of hope in leeface. - ' Dr. fitewa st shifted uneasily on his seat, and did not look at her as he anawerefl. "Well one should always make use of - every possible remedy, 'and of course an- other month of these cold winds will kill her ; there is no doubt of that." - ",I will go at once;' we will start im- mediately," almost gasped Queenie. - " I should do so by 'all means. If a you like, I will speak to Mr. Logan on my way home, and see if he cannot, temporarily at least, fill up your place. There was a, young person Faith men- tioned who would be very likely to suit. Shall I menage this for you, eh ?" - "I shall be greatly obliged if you will," she answered, gratefully. " Then about the place; where will you decide the going' There's a friend of mine, a doctor, a sort of connection of ours, liviug at St. Leonards;,he and his -Wife are very good people. , If you thought of going there I would write to Bennet, and he would look after Miss Enunie." hI think I would Father go there, theu ; it Will feel less lonely if Dr. Ben- net is a friend of yours," a sudden terri- ble sense of isolation and banishment coming over her. h Very well, then, we will decide on St. Leonards, and I will ask them to look out some cheerful apartments fie. you You are not particular about price, I dere say, and I can rely. on his wife's choice! She is a very good -home- ly body, and' will be a great comfort to you"—" when the child gets worse," he added to himself. “ When ought we to go ?" she asked-, in a low voice, feeling -all at once as though Fete were too strong for her. ' "Humph ! well, suppose we say in a week from now. I will talk to Mr. Logan; and I dare say we can find some- body to take the cottage off your hands. -The less leeve-taking and fuss, the bet- ter in such a case'; don't you think so eh?" "If Mr. Logan releases me there will be. no difficulty about anything else," she returned, quietly; and Dr. Stewart was charmed with her good tense and reasonableness. She forced herself into seemiag eheerfulnees when the child re - teem& and they sat down at last to - their long-delayed meal. When they hail finished, she beckoned Mamie to the etooI at her feet. "Darling, are you glad?" she began. " Dr. Stewart says that I must take you -away to the sea; -nothing elsewillmake you strong:" . "Does he say theseawill make me strong ?" asked, Emmie, curiously. Are vou sure that he said that, Queen?' "lie said these , cold winds will kill you," returned Queenie, shuddering; "and that was enough for me._ You. Will not fret at going.away, Emmie? we shall be together, and do all sorts of nice things all day long; and when the sum- mer comes, and you are strong agaln, we can corny back here And see all our kind friends." "I hope the summer will not , be too long in coining, then" she returned, dubiously. "(5h, I wishwe had not to leave this deer place, will be so sad parting with Langley tn, & dear Mr. Garth, and Captain Fawcett, and Miss Cosie, and every one. 1 "Yes, but it will only be for a little time," returned her sister, persuasively, for the'child's voice was full of sadness. "Don't you remember, darling, that happy summer at-Morecembe Bay, when dear father was alive, and how I helped you to erect great castles on the sand? you were. such a little child then, but so strong and merry." - "I think I remember a little bit of it, and how the waves used to .sing me to sleep." , • I — " Yes ; and we "Oen hear' the grand old lullaby again.Now listen, to me, Emmie, and I will tell you what we will do, you and I. We will go th a grand hotel in London, --we are -rich people now, you know,—and we will send for Cathy, and make her spend a long day With• us. " Oh, that 'i1l be nice !" exclaimed Emmie, clapping her hands in her old way. "And we shall have a bright sunny room with a great bay -window looking over the sea, like the rich people we noticed at-Moreeombe Bay? and shall we ever be able to drive out in a pony - carriage r _ "I will hire the prettiest pony -car- riage I can find," returned Queenie, feel- ing now the value of fiches. ." You shall have everything you wish for, Emmie,—books, and toys, and all man- ner of good things,—if only you will be happy with me and not fret. , ' Of couise I shall be happy with you," exclaimed the child, ,throwing herself into her sister's arms. "What was it Ruth said'? ' Whither thou goest I will ge.'. I always think of you when I read that. We have been playing at being poor, and now we must play at being rich. Oh, it, will be such fun !': finished Enimie, rather wearily, and Queenie kissed the heavy eyes and said I no more. _ CHAPTER " WHY DOES HE NOT COME AND SEE US ?"

In her letter. to Cathy- -she compared berself, somewhat quaintly, to Jobwhen all his acquaintances comforted him.

And Langley came, saying little, but expressing a whole world -of silent , ten- derness in her face and manner and Faith Stewart, with her quiet, helpful ways, bringing an atmosphere of rest and peace to poor harassed Queeniel One day Mr, Chester came it his visit was a sadly trying one. einevtung Queenie's hand for some moments With- out speaking, and for a long tinte he could riot bringliirriself to mention the subject of her departure. "You were so good to me when my darling died. • I wish I could do. some- thing to help you," he said, huskily ; "but then my poor Gertie is dyingeiand I cannot leave her for more than an hour ok two," and 'the sympathy of this open-hearted man almost broke Queenie dawn: Oneafternoon she went to say god - by to Miss Charity', Miss Cherity look- ed up at her with her bright sharp eyes very keenly. "4.1, well, being a rich woman doesn't eeem to suit yore," she said,not unkindly. "You are not half so blithe and bonny - looking as when you first came •-to shame. • • " I kin anxious:about Emmie," replied Queenie, beefily,- for any corpulent on her changed looks made her micomfert- able. " You see, Emmie is all I have, Miss OharitY." "Ala well, the widow's miee ,was worth all the rich men's .offerings,' ;re- turned the invalid, with e sigh. " Never hold what you have got with both hands, because then it ie harder to let go.; I thought I -should have died of sheer grief when my back got bad and poor George had to give me up.; but I thought Vette; of it, ane here I am, and here I shall be, ,till firyllessons are all done, and I am perfect throfigh patience," finished Miss Charity, 'with a tear twinkling on her eyelashes. But the one friend for, whose commn she looked daily, for whose voice an presence and sympathy she craved with a longing that surprised herself, 1 never crossed the thresheld of the cottage. For some reason known only te him- self (heath Clayton held himself aloof. Itwas not until after morning service on Sunday that Queenie found herself face to face with him in the plane -tree walk. He was with Ted and Langley, but after a moment's hesitation he left them and came up to her. I " You are leaving us, I hear," he said, rather abruptly, and Queenie could $8e he was exceedingly nervous, and Dean much grieved at the cause; but I have great faith in sea air. I hope—at least I trust—that Emmie may benefit by it." "Dr. Stewart says its is the only thing for her. Have you seen him I Has be -given you his opinion about her?" fixing 'her dark eyes rather searchingly on his face, 'Dr. Stewart's ambiguity was caus- ing her some uneasiness." I wish that he—that some one—would speak plainly to -me and tell me what he really thinks Overt Emmie." • " Well, you see, doctors- are rather a difficult people to• deal with, 'returned Garth, -evasively,. but his tone was very gentle. "You Must not lose heart aboutit, you know; children are often very ill. This cold wind is making you shiver; I must not -keep you. now; I will come OVereto he cottliee to bid you and Emenie good -by." And then he smiled at her and went back to his sister. Queenie had arranged to go over to Carlisle the -next day to pay a parting • visit to Caleb and Molly. All her affairs were now arranged; Mr. Logan had found'a temporary mistress in a young widow, a protegf e of - Faith Stewart's, who :was 'lodging in Ilepsha-w with her little girl and was in search, of Some employment. And Emmie, who had • taken a fancy to Mrs. Henfryn's little girl, proposed that they should :live in the cottage, "at leastta,. ke care of it, until we come back," to Which Queenie, desirous of gratifying the child's most trifling whim, willingly acceded. A bitter disappointment awaited - Queenie on her'return from Carlisle. "Oh, deer, you will be sorry !" Em- mie exclaimed, running to her as she entered the jparlor, feeling weary and dispirited. '11 Langley and Mr. Garth have been .here, and. he has left you a message, because he is going away and willanot see you again; an he 'did seem so sorry about it." t• • "Going aivey !" repeated Queenie, in a low voice, and then she sat down. She felt all at once so strangely tired. "Yes,I heard him tell Langley that he must take the seven -o'clock train; $o hp has gone long ago now. Some uncle of theirs is ill; I think they said he Heed at Perth, but anyhow hel sent for Mt. Garth in aegreat hurry." ; - 1"And whet was his message, Em - nue ?" putting up her hand tp her heed, as tho gh conscious of some numb - pain. • "Well, he told me to say how, sorry he was to miss you Mid' not • say good - by; and that you were not to ose heart about things ;'and --oh; yes, he told nie that twice over—that, he ho ed if you -were in any trouble or perp exity you would write to him or tangle , for they would do anything to help ouh And he hissed .me half a dozen tines, I ain sure, !" with , a triumphant ir ; " and thee Langley' said they must o, and he got up very slowly and went way." . 1" Oh, it is too hard ! it is ore than I: can bear !" broke from Queenie's pale lips when she Was a one with her thoughts that night. To leaVe for months, forever, perhaps, nd never to wish him good -by, ,not ev n a word or look to treasure up in my. emery." And for a long time she wept etterly. But by and by she became ore ree- sonable. • "It is evrong lof me. I ought not to wish to see him if he longs to Dora. Perhaps it is better so, fter all." But nevertheless the bittern ss of that disappointment abided' with her for many a long clay. When Langley wrote to he et brother she spoke very briefly of the eave-tak.- ing. "Ted and I saw them o , and Mr. Logan was with us. Emmie c ung to us anl cried a good deal, but fise Mar- riott was very quiet, and scare ly spoke. She begged me to thank yo i for your Message; and regretted that sl e had not seen you, that was all." , • Garth sighed over this brief message, but he understood Queenie's reticence perfectly. ttSo they are gon , and the happy Brierwood Cottage days are. over, he said to .himself, he sat in the _ dim sick -room, re'volvi g many things in his mind. ' Queenie had a dreary jour ey. Fan- mie was so -exhausted , with e citement and emotion that she slept t re greater part of the wayi end . left he sister iii perfect freedom to ,indulge, ii all man- ner of sad thoughts. 1. Queenie never, recalled that lay with- out a shudder. A sadness, in seriheble but profound, weighed dawn h r spirits, —a feeling ce intolerable clesol thin and loneliness as hour after hour asset' on, and the didtence lengthened between her and the friends whom she lad growe to love. , ; ' , " Who knoWs if it may no be good - by forever to that dear pl e ?" she thought ; " for if he marries Dora I will never willingly tee his fac again." She was thankful, when mmie at last woke - up, ;to fihdlerse at their •journey's end. Eniehie, whOse tion had been vividly arous d by the idea of the magnificence tha aweited them, , was rather disappoint d by the quiet, old-fashioned hotel to hich.Dr. Stewart. had recommended hem.' It was. just the reverse of gland, she e bright, iich the speeclil oon cm t couch, s she cut that and decisive- thought; but the Sight, of tl cheerful-lopking room into w weary travellers were ushered reconciled her, and She was fortably ensconced on the gre contentedly watching Queenie up her, chicken. • "Now, Emmie, you must ea then go to bed," said her sister, ly, !as she careied the teniptin r tray tO the sofa, and Emmie was, far t o weary and docile to resist.
