QUEENIE'S WHIM.
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."

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

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

Somehow he shrunk from writing to the
girl herself, but before he could make
up Ms mind the difficulty was solved for

By borne accident he was unusually
late, and they were all in the dr wing -

gently scolded him for his want o punc-

"He is not -so very late, papa; and

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

"I won't keep you it moment, a,nd I

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

Mr. •Cunninghitin sighed' as he stret hed

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 •

wonder whether it will, be news to you,
or whether my visit south will havd en-

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

delicate and the dews are falling."
-But Garth did a strange thing before
The went, for, at he stood looking at his
old playmate a little sadly and •
ly, he suddenly etooped over her and
touched the little hands with his lips.
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. '

'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

whisper to Garth when the paced up

in the sunset ; and indeed any girl migl t

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

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
