CHAPTER XLV. • • (Concluded frora la& week) GARTH'S WIFE n sole partner and soiepart of all these Pest nearer thyself than an." !, , Milton. ,It cost Garth a eevere. struggle to ▪ leave his betrothed and go beck to his business at Hepshaw; but his presence was imperatively needed at the quarry, and Queenie, with her usual unselfish- ness and good sense, was the first to per- ceive the necessity. How can I find it in my heart to leave you just now ?" he said; the next morning, when he walked up from his hotel to spend and hour or two with her. Perhaps her deep mourning made • her seem so thin and pale;, but there was certainly a wasted look about her, at though she had passed through a long illness. But you must leave me," she replied gently. You are .wanted at Warst- (ye, and then Langley needs -you. I will net have you neglect your duties for me; you have been here already ten days, have you not ?" " Yes, but Langley has Cathy, And you are all alone, he remonstrated. "Dear Queenie, could you not rouse yourself and come back with me ?- and we would all nurse you well agaih." She shook her head sadly. , No, no; Cathy has enough on her heeds; you do not want anotherinva- lid at Chureh-Stile House. Besides, I &newt fit to travel just now; Dr. Ben- net said so only yesterday!. He told me I must have quiet and rest." • "You know he and his wife have! offered to take care of you. What good Samaritans they are !" 1 "Yes,. indeed,- they are everything that is kind; but, Garth," hesitating shyly over his name, you will not ask in to do that. They are very good, dear people, but they are comparative strangers. I could not beer to leave this place, I am only just fit to he and look at theseaall day, and think of you and Emmie." 4,41! know it Willbe bad for you, but I don't see what else is to be done," he returned, 'despondingly. " Warstclale won't do without me,, but I shall not hate a moment's peace until I have you safely in my own keeping. Will you - promise to be well in a fortnight, if I come back and fetch y-ou ?" q A fortnight is too short a time I shall hardly be strong them" with a sigh of mental and bodily weakness that was sad to hear. Dear as his presence was to her, and sweet the knowledge of their mutual love, it taxed her overwrought strength soinly to sit and talk to him. fl Three weeks, then? I cannot be longer without seeing you." . 'II will try to be ready for you then," she answered, with one of her rare, sweet smiles. Then, as she react the un- spoken anxiety in his eyes, "Indeed, you must not be trembled, about me; I will not fret more than I can help, and = I have such_ sweet, happy thoughts alma my darling, and then I cannot feel ?teeny lonely when I have you. Oh, Garth, if you only knew how different life looks to Me now !" and for a, little whileshe cluog to hina. But, though she sent hin away half comforted, she knew that she never needed. hina so sorely as during the rnhe erable days of prostration and nervous depression that followed his departure, and butler very shame she would have recalled him. For a, little time she was utterly broken and could only lie and 'weep, madi ,pray that strength might begiven her ',he bear her trouble. Forever through the lonely days and in the darkness of her; sleepless enights En -tune's plaintive voice seemed souhding in her ears,— " We have been so happy together, have we hat, Queen ?" The lad clasp of the weak arms round her,—she could feel their touch still; and the heavy drop of the head that Garth had lifted so enderly from her bosom. Was she dea , She had not known it; ,even now she never thought of her es dead. Darng the brief snatches of slumber that came to her she was forever carryiug the light figure to and fro; there were the fairearls, the great, solenm Mue eyes, the innocent smile playing romid her mouth,. Am I very heavy ? do I tire. your arms, Queen? Oh, it is sof nice to be together, just you. and II" I But Quesuie bravely battled with her sorrow, and she was not. without her coneolation. Letters came to her from Chin -eh -Stile House,—sweet, loving ones frenieLangley and Cathy, and others that she tead with a happy .smile and hid ender her pillow. - - - nearthts letters were very short' and kind. They were not specially lover- •• there was no protestation of affec- tioir'hi them, but the whole breathed a spirit of quiet, watchful tenderness,— thh tenderness that a good man gives to the 'woman who has intrusted her future • to him. 1 How Queenie loved those letters! they ,seemed to give fresh life to her. " You have had good news, I can see Dr. Bennet would say to her when he 'tame in and found her a little less languid and with a faint color in her cheeks. He was very watchful over the girl, and almost fatherly in hie manner to her ; he drove her himself to the ceme- tery when she craved for another sight of the little green monied. There was to be a marble eros t at the head, and the Ade garden -ground was to be plant- ed. with all the flowers that Etrunie 10 ed—her favorite rose,, and in the spfmg-time snowdrops and violets and lilies of the valley. Kind-hearted Mrs. Bennet promisedto look after it when- Queenie should be away in her northern hems. • 1 Garth's, secret source of uneasiness when he had reached Ileps,haw, and had received his sisters' delighted congratu- lations, was how he should break the the news to Dora and how she would receive it. He had a clean breast of the whole thing to Queenie, as iu duty bound, and then had bidden her (*amiss . the matter from her • mind. Dora and , he were unsuited for each other ; they were tint old playmates and friends, that was all He had no idea that Dora in herijealous desperation had appealed to Queenie, nor as Queenie everlikely to Worm him. - Should he send Cathy over to Grossgill Vicarage to break the news, or should he Write a little note to the vicar' Somehow he shrunk from writing to the girl herself, but before he could make up Ms mind the difficulty was solved for One of those endless little notes, invit- ing him to a business consultation with i Mr. Cunningliame reached 'hin about three days after his arrival; but this d hurt egards them int so had time Flo had written it. •Dora h her hand, but she sent her kind to Mr. Clayton, and would he d the pleasure, as papa wanted badly, and so on? i Of course Do dictated the clever little letter. Garth winced and reddened and something like " Confouti clever women !" sounded throu moustache; but all the same , himself that he must go. "1 ha a fool for my pains, and I su must pay the penalty for being a he thought, with a shrug of hi ders ; but the idea of that d room at Crossgill Vicarage was him. , • No one need have envied him got into his dog -dart and drove al familiar road: He had iesoIvcd it out; and had written a very f and facetious answer to Flo. ' -Ne less, he was very nervo s and co when he followed old nurse across the little hall. By borne accident he was unusually late, and they were all in the dr wing - room, even Mr. Cunningham,'who gently scolded him for his want o punc- tuality. - "He is not -so very late, papa; and cook can easily put back the d.i ner a quarter of an hour," observed Dora placidly. She had met Garth in a per- fectly friendly manner. "Mr. Clayton, will you go up -stairs at once, please? it -does not matter in the least, only papa is so methodical in his ways.; Our dinner -hour ought to have been enrolled among the laws of the.Medes and Per- sians." "As I ought to have known bS this time," returned Garth, With a n laugh, and then he took himself o found old nurse unpacking his manteau. Dinner passed over pretty co ver it, these h his e told e been pose I fool," shoul- awing- odious hen he 'ng the brave *endlY erthe- fused rvous , and port- fort - ,ably. He could talk with the girls and, as he was a favorite with the, they found plenty •to,. say to hint' Dora was rather quiet, but she was perfectly good- humored, tho igh perhaps a trifi dig- nified ; but in her white dress she look. ed almost aA young and girlish as her : sisters. Still, it was a relief when he and Mr. Cunningham were left to their bu ine tete a -tete and he could relax a litt from his company manners. he they had disposed of their busine s the vicar seemed 'inclined to settle himself to his usual nap; butGarth beg n to fidget. "I won't keep you it moment, a,nd I must go into the drewing-room. But you are such an old friend, Mr. Cmuhing- - ham, that I thought—" And then he managed to blurt it out. . The vicar was wide enough awake now. Dear, dear," he observed, in a per- plexed and slightly annoked voice, "who would have thought of this? poes Dora —do the girls know ?" "Not atpresent ; but I am • g- oing in to tell them. " Do so, do so by all meatus," with a glance towards the. door. "They will he surprised, of course; I am: FWho would have dreamed you were s ch a deep fellow, Garth, and taking us 11 in like this? And the young woman has money, eh ?" ,I am sorry to say Miss Marriott as a large fortune," returned- Garth, s "Neither of hs wanted it." • Of course not; but all the seam you have managed to do a etitd thin- f" yourself. "hung and rich and ood- looking. Well, my dear. fellow, I con- grathlate you, though I own I ever was more surprised ! in My life." 'And Mr. •Cunninghitin sighed' as he stret hed •out his white hands to the ' fil less grate. Evidently the news had not pleased him. • . " I am in for it now," thought G rth, as he opened the drawing -room ( oor. Of course Dora was alone ; • he exp cted that; but he could see the slim ures of the girls passing to and fro bet 'een the flower -beds. To his surprise, ora bade him call them in. "Unless ,you -would like to go ou and join them, ' she said, just lifting her eyes from her work, but not in ting him by word or gesture to sit down. "1 hope you don't mean to dismiss me _like this," he returned, Iightly. ` We will goout to the girls by end by, but just now I have somethimg I wait to tell you." "1 thought you never wanted to tell me , things now," she answered, p ain- _ tively, and her bosom heaved a 1 ttle, and her blue eyes began to soften and gleam daegerously. " Oh, yes, I do'; you must no say such unkind things to me, Dora. I hope • I may tell my old playmate of a pie e of good fortune that has befallen en • I wonder whether it will, be news to you, or whether my visit south will havd en- lightened you. Do you know I ani oing to be naarried ?" " To whom ?" She asked. But she did not flinch, neither did her voice change in the least. "To Miss Marriott." I "Of couse I knew it," she returned, taking up her work and sewing hurried_ ly. • "You know you told me on Your last visit that Miss Marriott had come into a large fortune. ,I congratulate you, Mr. Clayton; you 'have done excee g- ly well for yourself." , If she had wished to mortify and ex • asperate him she had entirely,euccee ed. " Why do you and your father speak as though Miss Marriott's fortune was any inducement ?" he returned, hotly. "Surely you know me better thanthat! If is the money that has been the s um- blieg-block all these months. I w uld marry her gladly and proudly if sheihad not a penny and were still the school- mistress of Hepshaw.." I "Ah, you always were Quixotic," was the repressive answer. ; Garth was silent. He as inwardly provoked that she chose!to misunder- stand, him ; and he had a sore f ling that, after all their friendship, she should not have a kind word for him. But, looking at her, he snek tint she had grown strangely pale, and that her hand was trembling; and then, his heart grew very soft. - "Don't let us quarrel," he implored. "We have always been such good friends, have we not, Dora? You k ow there is no one except Miss Marriott and my sisters whom I can compare with you, I have always so trusted and respected you. You will wish inc God- speed in my new life, will you not?" . "Yes,' Mr. Clanton, I will wish you that," she returned, very calmly, as she took up her work again.i "Now t ou must go and call in the girls, as Fl. is TBE H RO EXPOS TOn..

He had had a sort of tenderness for her, and now the tie Was broken between them. But, whatever she thought of the liberty, Dora never spoke or raised - her head, and -for the rest of the evening she was very quiet. 1 • Garth breathed more, freely after this; but time hung heavily on his hands until the stipulated three weeks were over and he could start for St. Leonards. He and his sisters held long consultations together about the future. Queenie was to pay them a long visit, and was to recover her strength; and early in the spring he would persuade her, in spite of her deep mourning, to marry him quietly. . "She is all alone, and there is plenty of room for us," as both he and Langley agreed. , ' ' , - But he grumbled sadly over her looks when he saw her again; the beautiful eyes had not regained their old bright- ness, though they koked so lovingly at him. 1 '-' , "1 have wanted you!! hove I have wanted you !f' she whispered, as she came, oh, sci gladly into his outstretched arms. , "Not more than Ihaiee wanted,you, my darling."-• 1 I "Oh, yes; ore'a great deal more; but now you are here all will -be well with me. I am very weak still, but I know you w1.1 take care of me and be patient until get bright egaiii' , "My dearest, can ,you , doub it ?" he returned, very gravely. And indeed he was good to her,e-toe plod, she some - 'times thought. I But it needed' all his support and ten- ' derness to make the long, journey even bearable to her; and she was badly exi hausted when they drove over the little bridge and under the dark plane -trees • and he lifted her down and placed her in Langley's atm. 1 She and Cathy almost wept , ver the girl's altered lOoks. ' " 01 , my deal', my dear, ho comfo ing do burst shall we you?" cried poor Cat y, kneel - beside her, and trying not to to teazle ss 'WTIe must leave that to thne and Garth, le and only be as good to her as we can," n returnedher siste gently ; and then - • er- - '1 shJe took the tire face bet een her hands and:kissed it tenderly and laid it on her breast. But it was not in human nature to resist all the 'sweet, wholes° e sympa- thy that surrounded her; an( Queenie was young and beloved, besul es loving with all her heart. As he days and weeks passed atvay, eourage and strength returned to her.. • It wainot that Ere- mie was forgottenn-h-deep in her inmost . soul lay the image of that dearly -loved sister,—but that her glorious young vitality asserted itself. - • " How can I reniaixt so dreadfully un happy when I have your], he would whisper to Garth when the paced up and down -their favorite plane tree walk in the sunset ; and indeed any girl migl t have beon proud of such.a lov r. They had no reserves' these tw Queenie would 'tell him allher innocei t thoughts,---hovi lonely she had felt when she had seen hien And Dora together;and how she had watehed, night after night, . for the red flicker of his cigar as he walked underneath the plane -bees; and Garth listened to her, and, though he said very little 'in eeply, Queenie was perfectly content. i 1 For day by dey the sweet convi tioU came to 'her that she was growing deeper into her lover's heart, that the symp thy between them was ever greater; her delight in each ther's preseuce was miet but -intense; speech seemed unnecessary to •-them, they understood each other without a word. ••• ' When two months had passed, and Queenie announced her intention of going to Carlisle and taking up her abode for the present with Caleb R,unciman, he let her go almost without a word, though the sunshine seemed to die out of the old house with her presence; and when Langley would have remonstrated he silenced her at firice. -" She thinks it will be best, and per- haps she is right. Of course -we shall have a dull winter, but it will e worse for her, shut up with,that old man; but in the spring_she has promised things shall be as I wish." And a flush crossed Garth's handsome face as he spoke, for the thought of bringing home hiswife was very sweet and sacred to the young. man. . So Queenie spent the long winter months in the narrow little house in the High Street, with only Caleb and Molly. But it was not seal a dull life, after all. Friends came over from Hepshaw to see her,— Faith Stewart,. and Miss Cosie, and now and then Langley and Cathy) and eery week brought Garth. Queenie and he would takelon.g walks together. How she levedhaunts,--Gtanit Lodge, and the Close, k to show him her old and her favorite nook in the Cathedral! Now and then they would walk over to the castle where poor Mary Queen of Scots had been incarcerated, and gaze up at the little window out of which Fergus Vich Ian •Vohr •used to look. The , sentries would look after them as they strolled across the place, the tall, good-looking fellow, with the s ight girl wrapped in furs beside him. • "What a color yoii have, my Queen! and how bright your eyes are!" he would say, for, half in jest and half in loving reality, he often called her "my Queen," and she would look up and smile, well pleased that she had found favor in his eyes• , And so one: day in the early spring, when the violets and crecuses were grow- ing on Emmie'e grave, there was a quiet Weddin,g at Cailisle, and Weenie. became Garth Clayton's wife. . It was a very quiet wedding ; only Langley and Cathy and Ted were there, and Mr. ILogani came over to marry them. She had Worn bridal white, but after the ceremony she had renamed her mourning. - *Garth did ,not mind, she said, •and she was unwilliag to put it off unless he wished it. 1i Garth WaS too perfectly happy to find fault with Anything. A holiday was a are thing with him, and he an Queenie had planned it te the best advantage, in a tour through NOrmandy. 1 Queenie had never, been abated, and Garth had only once left England. Th change of scene would be good for bothi of them. When May was over they c m.e back to Hepshaw, and settled clown quietly, "as sober married people,',Garth (Cuntinuedldn Third Pude. • 1 • 6 REAL EOT, E FO SALE.
