ACROSS EER PATH.
BY ANNIE S. SWAN.
CHAP ER IV.
(Continued srern last vieek.)
The world again, thought • Barbara
Dale. Ay, it was a hard world in the
experience of many besides herself.
When Mrs. Greenw y left the room she
sat down by the fir again, and fell to
dreaming of the fu. ure. It was three
months since she h d come to St. John's
Wood, and she was, growing very tired
of her occupations and eurroundings.
She was not born to be a teacher.
The work was intOlerably irksome to
her, though she pei-formed it unflinch-
ingly, and with a good measure of suc-
cess. I
She vas impatient, too, of witnessing
i
the constant strugg e, of the Greenways
to appear other than they were; weary
of formai dinner and tea parties which
Mrs. Greenway deemeda necessary part
of the farce of keeping up appearances;
sick of the life for which she was so un-
fitted. But she did not feel yet that she
could begin the wOrk she intended to
pursue by-and-by, and it was poSsible
that a change into another family might
be a worse thing rather than a better.
So in the meantime she would remain in
No. 5, teach the Iyoung idea how t
shoot, and help Mrs. Greenway to make
gowns.
1
Her head clropp+1 on her hand, and
she watched the flashing of the diamond
in her ring, while drops as bright as the
precious stone trembled on her. eye-
lashes. At times there came home to
Barbara a terrible sense of her desola-
tion; in all the World none thought
kindly -or lovingly of her, save perhaps
the fair -faced daughter of a southern
rectory, who was forbidden to have the
name of Dale upon her lips.
"Barbara Dale, you are & fool," she
said bitterly and_

"Can I have m music now, Miss
Dale," asked Beni "is gentle voice in the
doorway. "Ther is about twenty min-
utes before the c ildren come up to
tea."
"Yes, Bessie, cOme away, I am idling
here, my dear," said Miss Dale, and ris-
ing she chew up the blind °to let in all
the fading light of the February after-
noon, Bessie opened the old piano' and
liked her music from the rack.
II" What shall I fake first 7" She asked.
and raised her eyes inquiringly to the
face of her governess.
"You have been crying, Miss Dale,"
she said quickly.
" Yes', my clear, the strongest of us
have our weak mdments. Come, or the
twenty minutes will be gone before we
get begun." .
Bessie seated herself on the stool and
played the prelude to her piece. She
became conscious, by-and-by that Miss
Dale had moved away from -her side,and
when she looked round she saw her
atanding by the mantelpiece looking into
the fire.
"Go on, Bessie, I hear you quite
well," said the governess quietly. So
Bessie played on to the end, and then
rose without seeking another exercise.
Going over to the hearth, she laid her
soft young arm ab
der, and bent he
tired, sad face.
"Dear Miss Dale, I am afraid you are
very unhappy," she whispered. " I am
so sorry for you always when I look at
this," she said, pointing to the crape on
her dress. " Was it some one you loved
very much ?"
"1 had a father and mother who loved
me as yours love you, Bessie, and I have
lost them. I had a brother, to, whom
I loved, and.I haVe lost him, also."
"Is he dead, to, Miss Dale ?" _
"No, Bessie. Perhaps,- when you
grow up to be as old as I am yoa vIrill
begin to learn that there are things
worse than death."
Bessie was silent, neither understand-
ing nor caring to ask tyliat she meant.
Then Miss Dale took her face in both
her hands and kissed it once very
fondly. .
"Take that, Bessie, because I love
you, and because you remind me so of
one very dear to me. God bless you,sod
give you a sweet and happy life to the
very end, Now 1. ans going out to the
gardens for a little while to rid myself
of a wretched, headache. You will look
after the schoOlroom tea to -night,
Bessie."
"Of course I Will. And don't hurry
back, Miss Dale, 'said Bessie, with affec-
tionate solicitude ; " I'll begin the les-
sons too."
" Thank you," was all. Miss Dale
answered, but tie tone in which the
words were utte red was reward sufficient
to the heart of Bessie Greenway. Miss
Dale retired to her own room, and put
on her bonnet with restless fingers. She
could not understand why she should
feel so nervously excited ; her nerves
were strung to the -highest pitch, and
yet the day had been like other days,
drearily monotonous, relieved only by
Julia's sharp tongue, which, how -ever,
had only momentarily ruffled Miss Dale's
composure.
As she passed downifairs Julia came
out of the drawing -room, and regarded
the governess with haughty surprise.
"Are you going out, Miss Dale?" she
said sharply. "Itis the children's tea
hour." .
- kiss Dale passed downstairs without
ao much as answering Miss Greenway by
a backward glance. In her quiet way
she showed very effectively that she re-
garded no authority in the house save
that of Mrs. Greenway.
At the outer door she encountered
Mr. Greenway on Ms return from busi-

"1 wonde am I going to be ill," she

The wind [charmed way the pain, by-

light of heart. '
The twiliiht fell quickly after the red
sunset, and it was nearly'dark, when she
bethought herself of returning home.
As she passed out of the little gate again
she saw a hackney carriage drive rapid-
ly away from the door of No. 5. Won-

brought to the Greenways, she *knocked
at the door.In the hall there stood a

overcoat flung across it, and a great hum

out Miss Dale's shoul-
r sweet eyes on the
For a moment Barbara Dale stood ab-
solutely still, thinking she must be
dreaming. But presently she heard him
speak in the smooth, false tones se re-
membered well—" Yes, I have not been
in London for nearly six Months, Aunt
Helen," he said. "My lpsiness does
not often call me in this direction, but I
took a 'fancy to see you all, so I came off
to surprise you." She did not stop to
hear Mrs. Greenway's reply, but fled up
to her own room, astonishing a domestic
whom she encountered on the stair.
"You're in plenty of time, Miss
Dale," she yentured to say, "I'm just
going to infuse the dining -room tea."
Miss Dale did not look as if she had
heard her, but passed into her own
chamber and shut the door.
She sat down there in the grey dark-
ness, and "ed to collect her thoughts.
Surely it was a strange, Merciless fate
which bad brought Jasper Leigh across
her path so soon. His coming could
have but one meaning, of course—to per-
secute her with his old attentions, and,
when repurped, to take hi s petty re-
venge. He had not said so in so many
words, but she knew the man—none
better—and there was no doubt of his
intention in her mind.
What should she do? The impulse
uppermost in her mind was to fleel from
No. 5, and place miles between I herself
and Jasper Leigh. But she Was no
coward, and after the first shock of ner-
vous surpnise was over she rose very
quietly, and laid aside her bonnet and
jacket.
Then she poured some water into the
basin to wash her face and hands, and
just then there came a light tap at the
door.

"I am snrprised to hear you say so,
Jasper," said Mrs. Greenway, in a die-
-pleased way. "I consider Miss Dale
very handsoine."
"Tastes differ, you see' ma," said
Julia, with a simper. "Ialways con-
sidered Miss Dale a perfect fright."
"You are a fool, Julia," was the
mother's unexpected and vigorous re-
tort. It was a curious and painful thing
to note the constant jarring between
:nether and daughter: neither had
learned the lesson of forbearance; and
with all her experience of life Mrs.
Greenway had not yet found the golden
key to the hearts and wills of her chil-
dren. Bessie was obedient, because it
was her gentle nature to be so, but all
the others were as unruly as the winds,
consequently it was neither a happy nor
a well -regulated household.
"Will you come up to the drawing -
room, Cousin Jasper ?" asked Julia, in
her sweetest tones. "1 hate the dining -

"May I come in, Miss Dale ?" asked
Bessie.
" Yes : just come and light my gas

out, and must hurry with my dressing,
returned Miss Dale, in her usual com-
posed way; and Bessie entered, suspect-
ing nothin4.
"There is plenty of time," she said.
"Did you hear that Cousin Jasper had

brush her hair; "but I did not know

" Oh, did you not!" echoed Bessie in
surprise. Well, I thought mamma or

" Why do you dislike him ?" asked
Miss Dale, curious to hear what the
answer would be.

" Yes ; but with your permission,
Aunt Helen, I shall go upstairs and
change my coat. It is the old room, I
fancy."
Mrs. Greenway nodded, and Jasper
withdrew. On his way to the room on
the third floor he very deliberately went
along the corridor to the Schoolroom and
looked in, but it was empty, for Miss
Dale had taken the precaution to retire
to her own apartment. He did not
spend many minutes on his toilet, but
joined his cousin in the drawing -room
before she had settled herself in her
most becoming attitude by the hearth.
`• Come away, Cousin [Jasper, and tell
me what you have been loisig with your-
self in Great Wyman There must be
some other attraction b sides business, I
doubt," she said coquettishly.
Jasper Leigh -smiled slightly, and
looked at his cousin with considerable
interest. She was certainly very pretty,
but he entertained for her a species of
contempt. She was as empty and frivo-
lous as a woman could well be.
-
" I have been working hard, Julia,
and you have been improving yourself.
By Jove, you are pretty though."
"You flatter absurdly," said Julia
with a laugh; but she was prodigiously
delighted with the compliment.
"1 was struck with your good looks
in contrast to that guyof a governess,"
said Jasper adroitly. "Where did
Aunt Helen pick her up ?"
'In some questionable locality," said
Julia, not weighing her words. "1
positively hate her, Jasper. She's like a
boa -constrictor, or something."
Jasper Leigh laughed outright.
"1 am afraid your ideas of a boa -con-
strictor are rather . hazy, Cousin Julia.

quiet, unobtrusive sort of a person."

" You are a very fanciful child,
Bessie," said Miss Dale, but her face was
averted 1Vhen she spoke. None knew
better than she how true was the des-
cription. 1 .
' How very nice you look, Miss Dale.
Prn po glad you went out, you have got
such a nice; bright color in your cheeks,"
said Bessie in her simple way. "1 am
quite sure I never saw you look so nice
before."
Miss Dale laughed. .-
•` Run away now, Bessie, I shall. be
down just in a few minutes," she said,
and when Bessie left the room she walk-
ed over to the dressing -table and took a
deliberate survey of herself. '
"Going for a mouthful of fresh air,
eh ?" he said, in his mild, genial way.
" That's right; . you need it, my clear;
you are paler than you ought to be."
Miss Dale smiled and nodded to him,
and passed out into the clear fine air, her
heart bounding to feel the caress of the
boisterous wind of spring.
How sweet it'svas ! how refresshing and
life-giving after the close atmosphere of
the dingy schoolroom. She crossed the
street, and entered the gardens through
the little gate Which was the exclusive
property of the inmates of No. 5.
There was net the same free, wild
loveliness which had gladdened her eyes
so often in the woods of Little Wymar,
but there svitaireen grass in the minia-
ture forests, and budding flowers, and
green trees, beginning already to be

" Perhaps she may be some day," put
in Jasper Leigh, and ie after years the
memory of these idly -spoken words came
back to him very vividly.
"She wears a ring, too, the like of
which governesses shoilld not wear. I'd
like to know where she got it. I wish
you'd try to find out something about
her. You're a lawyer, Jasper, and it
is your business to find out things."
"Perhaps I may unravel this mystery
before I go away, cousin," said Jasper.
"Well, Aunt Helen, here we are dis-
cussing the governess yet."
"Is Miss Dale not here ?" asked Mrs.
Greenway, looking sharply round the
room. "Oh, run up, Bessie, and tell
her to come down. I would like you to
hear her sing, Jasper. It is something
wond et ful."
" Mamma makes a perfect idol of the
creature," whispered Julia under her
breath.
Contrary to Jasper Leigh's expecte-
tio , Miss Dale returned to the drawing -
room with her pupil, and sat down quiet-
ly t a side -table with her sewing.

Bessie had spoken truly; she did look
well, for her cheeks were burning, and
her eyes flashing with excitement. Yet
she was outwardly calm. At that mo-
ment the tea-beLl rang, and she lowered
the as and went away downstairs.
At the diningroom door she paused
for a brief moment, fqr the role she had
marked out for herself was not an easy
one to perform.
Mrs. Greenway was already in her
-place, and at her right hand sat Jasper
Leigh. Miss Dale came very quietly
into the room, but Jasper's eyes lighted
on her the moment she entered. He had
been watching for her ever since he en-
tered the house.
Mrs. Greenway rose-
- "My children's goyerness, Miss Dale,
Jasper,", she said pleasantly. " Miss
Dale, this is my nephew, Mr. Jasper
Leigh, fsom Great Wyman"
Miss Dale bowed, without meeting the
eyes of jasper Leigh, and took her seat
beside Mrs. Greenway.
Jasper took his cue from her, and for
the present claimed no previous ac-
quaintanee with her. He talked busily
to Mr. Greenway amd his cousin Julia,
but ignbred the ,goveruess, greatly to
Bessie's disgust, and her sister's delight.
