ACROSS HER PATH.

CHAL.Iiiit VI.
(Continued from last week.)
THE FIRST OF IT.
Lessons began ii the schoolroom at
ten o'clock. _Th following morning
Miss Dale left t e dining -room when-
ever breakfast wa over, and came up to
the schoolroom atj half -past nine. The
fire was but newl lighted, and the maid
busy with the dus ing, but the governess
wrapped a shasl round her, and sat
down on the euI of the fender. Cold
and clisconafort w re preferable to the
ceaseless scrutinyj of Mr. Leigh's eyes.
The girl, apologiz ng for being late that
morning, made hate with her work a,npl
quitted the rooi. Then Miss Dale
dropped her face down on her hands,
and fell to wondering how long Jasper
Leigh intended to remain in No. 5 Hill
Square. In the ,middle of her medita-
tion the door opened, and the object of
her thoughts enteted and closed it very
carefully behind him.
"1 have come, arbara, to have a talk
With you," he sai , rubbing his hands
together. "You Ore so- sly, you know,
in company, I cant't get a word out of
you."
She turn her beak on him, and, lean
ing her arms on the mantel, bent her
eyes on the khadli g fire. She did not
.i
trouble to bid hin, leave her presence;
it would be as well, nay better, to hear
what he had to sa , and what she might
expect at his han s.
I must complim nt you a second time
upon your admiable acting," he said,
crossing round where he could see her
face. "I would advise you, Barbara,
to adopt the stage as a profession. It
would pay you infinitely better than
teaching my eh rming, but somewhat
thiek-headed cous ns.'

and the long lashe

in their depths.
"This cant go on, you know, Bar-
bara," said Jasper Leigh, with a tone Of
impatience in his voice. "It I four
months since yola left Wymar ; fully
two since you came here. Only last
week my cousin Julia dropped your.
name in one of het letters to me, and I
came off at once scarcely daring to
hope fortune had favored me so com-
pletely. Everthing comes to those who
wait. I have waitene and I intend to
wait."
There was a mignent's silence, then
Miss Dale lifted her head and looked at
him with clear, unfaltering, contemptu-
ous eyes.
"Sir, I decline tlo renew any acquaint-
ance I may have had' with you in the
past. I decline to recognize your right
to address me as you are doing now, or
in any way, save as a gentleman to a
stranger lady. 1 40 not know how long
you may intend tit insult me with your
presence in this hOuse, but if you seek
to speak to me again as you have done
to -day I shall claitn the protection of my
employers."
Jasper Leigh smiled.
"Very good. I hear your pupils on
the stair, and I an pledged to take my
cousin to the Zoological gardens, so I
will bid you good morning," he said.
"Miss Dale, I shall see you again."
All that forenoon Miss Dale's thoughts
wandered from he work, and her pupils

Miss Dale did not appear at the din-

questions Mrs. reenway mentioned
that she did not f el well and had gone
to lie down.
" Your gaverne e. does not look strong,

hall door caused Jiulia to rise and look

which being unlopked, told him it had
admitted Miss Dale before him. It was
growing dark, b4 it was wonderfully
sweet and stillanl pleasant in the mini-
ature park, and Jasper Leigh lit his
cigar and strolled up and down the wide
path near the gate, waiting complacent-
ly for the return of the governess. He
did not venture very far, being afraid of
missing her, and having the pleasure of
vaulting the railing_ He had not many
minutes to wait, for presently he heard
the light footfall approaching, and saw
among the shadows the slight, grace-

They turned together from the gate,
and walked a few paces in silence.
When they were fairly shadowed from
observation by a clump of trees, she
stood still again, and turned to him in-

About her throat was the s ft folds of a

She leaned a moment aga nst the trunk

hands. But of what avail was i to appeal to -
the better nature of this man, who own-

She lifted her head and Looked at him
in silence for a moment. 1 There was
i
good in him, else he coulf never utter
such words. , When she s oke again her
voice was very gentle but full of weari-
ness. t
"It cannot be," sherepdated. "I am
a woman who cannot say ane thing and
think another. We could I not be happy
even if I loved you. Lt me go now,
taking with me the mem* of the first
really kind words you h4.ve spoken to
me for many a day."
That moment's better mpulse fled,
and the evil natere of I the man was
roused again.
"I have huiribled myself' ta you, Bar-
bara Dale, as I shall nevet do to mortal
woman again, but you willbe the loser.
Have you forgotten that ,loi.i are in my
power, Barbara ?" ,
"In what way ?" she asked haughtily,
and began to move towardi3 the gate.
"I have it in my power to throw,you
out of your present employment for one
thing," he said. I

• "A power which you Will probably

"Will it afford you suci an intense
satisfaction to see me de rived of my

looking at hina fully undeir the light of

'
"When I reflect that it is your own
fault, yes," he answered. 1 "You have
chosen your own alternative."
"I despise you, and I ar4i not afraid of
you," she said, with a curious little
smile. "And I am not q lite sure that
I do not pity you. Good 'evening, Mr.
Leigh; perhaps you will live to dis-
cover that it is not so eas+ to crush a
woman, especially when that woman is
Barbara Dale." !
Miss Dale ran lightly up the steps,
opened the door with her own key,
while Mr. Leigh lit ?mailer cigar and
continued his stroll up and down the
pavement.
Miss Dale went straight, to her own
room, and began to take her garments
from the wardrobe and contemplate her
trunk, as if studying its capacity. -
In the drawing -room Alia grew im-
patient at the piano, while Mrs. Green- •
way darned stockings to I the music of
Bestie's voice conning Ilier geography
lesson aloud.
Half an hour later JaspOr Leigh came
up to the drawing -room.
"Have I sinned beyoniid forgiveness,
Julia?" he asked lightly.
" You must have lost yeur way, Jas-
per," she said, petulantly.
"Not 1; but the eveni g was pleas-
ant,and I forgot. I'll try tie duets after.
Aunt Helen, is there a q iet corner in
this lively house where y u and I could
be undisturbed for a little while? I'm
going home to -morrow, a d I want to
talk to you."
Mrs. Gre,enway rose in urprise.
" Have you been getting into scrapes,
Jasper, or are you going to be married?"
she asked, pleasantly. •
"None of these. My alk is not d
myself, but it will be int resting, I pro-
mise you."
"Tell it here, Jaspea," wad Julia,
eagerly. i
"Sorry to disappoint you, Julia, but
my secret is for Aunt Helen's ears alone,"
he answered, suavely.
"We can send your Mick up here,
and get the dining -room or the discus-
sion of this weighty secret," said Mrs.
Greenway, with a laugh; and the two
]eft the room. Not many" minutes later
Julia repaired to thel dining -room door,
and put her ear tie the keyhole; but,
being a very smart man, Jasper Leigh
opened the door suddenly and discover-
ed her in the act. Se she retired con-
fusedly, and did not'try eavesdropping
again that night. ,
,
They were long closeted together in
the dining room, and when Julia heard
the supper -tray being !carried in she
came down -stairs. The expression on
her mother's face made her wonder what
the nature of the comMunication had
been. She looked as if she had received
a great shock. • :
"Go up to Miss Dale's room, Sarah,"
she said to the maid,' "and say that I
do not expect her down-ttairs to -night,
and ask her if you can lprieg up any-
thing to hen".
" Very well, num," paid the girl.
Then hire. Greenway toak her place at
the table, and the meal kali.
Next morning Mre. Greenway did not
appear at,breakfast, but ent a message
bidding Julia come te, her immediately
the meal was past. t
"Are you ill, ma ?" isquired Julia
when she went up to her mother's
i.
room.
"My head ache, and I feel tired,
Julia, that's all.. Was Miss Dale at
breakfast?"
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
• I
"Eland me my purse from the toilet
drawer there."
In some surprise Julia obeyed, and
watched her mother count out its con-
tents.
"There isn't enough. Take my keys,
Julia, and bring me a five -pound note
from the lower drawer in the dressing -
room wardrobe."
Julia brought it, wondering much
What -her mother wanted with so much
money. It was neither the time for
paying the servants' wages, nor for set
tling the monthly accounts.
"Ten pounds ?" said Mrs. Green-
way.
Go up to the schoolroom' Julia, and
give that to Miss Dale. Tellher it is a
quarter's salary over and above, and
that I expect her to leave this afternoon.
You will make no remarks of your own,
if you please."
Mercy, ma, have you given Miss
Dale her dismissal ?" queried Julia in
ex/treme surprise.
"That is her dismissal, Julia. You.
need ask no questions. Miss Dale will
expect it, I fancy, and will express no
surprise. Tell her that 1 cannot see her
before she goes."
"Did Jasper tell you some queer
things about Miss Dale, mamma ?"
"Go away, I tell you,
Julia, and -do
as you are bid," said Mrs. Greenway
with asperity. "Though you stand
there till doomsday I'll tell you nothing
about it."
Julia discreetly withdrew to the
schoolroom, where she feund Miss Dale
alone. She laid the money down upon
the table, and looked boldly into Miss
Dale's face.
"That's your quarter's salary over
and above, ma says, and you're to leave
this house as soon as you can. She says
you'd know what it is for, and that she
can't see you. That's all."
The red blood mounted to neck and
cheek and brow, and Barbara's lip
twitched.
She lifted the five -pound note from the
table, and pushed the rest towards Miss
Greenway.
"Say to your mamma, Miss Green-
way," she said quite quietly, "that I can't
possibly take what is not my due, and
that I consider this -note ample payment
for the time I have labored here. Tell
her I am not surprised, save that, per-
haps, 1 did not quite expect she would
be so quick to visit the sins of others
upon an innocent head."
So saying the governess quitted the
room, and for a wonder Julia forgot to
be triumphant. Even in her humilia-
tion the governess had the best of it.
Before an hour had gone, Miss Dale
quitted No. 5, and drove away in a han-
som, leaving a dumfounded household
behind her.
• Jasper Leigh had left the house before
her, and when the cab drove round the
corner into the open street he hailed an-
other, and bade the man follow at a safe'
distance.
It was a long drive, but it came to an
end- at last, and Jasper Leigh saw the
.cab draw up at the little cottage in the
Brixton Road.
Ile disnlissed his own cab, and
lounged into a toba,cto store nearly oppo-
site.
" Who lives in the house with the
•green blinds across the way ?" he asked
the girl, after making a liberal pur-
chase.
"A Mrs. Carmichael, a widow, I
think, sir; she takes lodgers—looking
for apartments, sir ?"
"Ah, yes, but I don't know if it would
suit, thanks.; good -morning," he an-
swered carelessly, and sauntered out of
the shop.
"Carmichaelheathenish name; Brix-
ton Road. I shan't forget that," he said
to himself, and hailed a cab to convey
him back to,Hill Square. That san:e day
Jasper Leigh returned to his business in
Great Wymar.
CHAPTER VII.
THE LION IN THE PATH.
Mercy me, Miss Barbara, bairn, it's
never you 1" exclaimed Elspet Carmi-
chael, when she caine from the back pre-
mises to answer the knock at the front
door.
Yes, it's me, Elspet. Let me in
with my belongings, and I'll tell you all
about it presently," said Miss Dale
having deposited her trunk in the lobby,
and paid .and dismissed the cabman.
When the door was shut Elspet timed
suddenly and took the young lady in
her arms.
"Ye are welcome hame, my bairn,"
she said with a smile and a tear "Noce
come awe,' ben to the kitchen an' warm
yereelh Ye're left yer place, I see."
Miss Dale followed her into the snug
and comfortable kitchen, sat down in
her favorite corner, on the end of the
shining fender, and began to draw off
her gloves.
"Yes, Elspet, I've left Mrs. Green -
way's. I'll tell you why by-and-by," she
'said slowly; and I've made up my
mind not to go out teaching any more,
'Elspet."
" Very well, my deary, it wasna wi'
my wull ye went, and it'll be wi' my
wull ye'll bide, sure enough," said El-
spet, bustling to get out materials to
make a pudding for the dinner.
‘. I was just afraid you might have
taken a boarder since I was here,"
said Miss Dale;,but Elspet shook her
head.
"There was a chap here yestreen wha
wad fain hae cam' here, but 1 couldna
be bothered tae think o't, though he
v,•ad hae paid me weel. It was a Provi-
dence, my lamb, for gin ye're no gaun
oot ye'll need the rooms, ye see."
"Yes, Elspet, I shall need to be very
Iquiet. I am going to earn my living in
a new way,"
"Are ye ?" said Elspett, her eyes
I very round with interest. "There's
nae need, as lang's my faither's baw-
bees last, and they're no near the end
yet."
"1 owe" too much to you already, El-
spet," said Miss Dale with glistening
eyes; "but if this new venture suc-
ceeds, I'll be rich and famous in a little
what is't ye're gaun tae dae,
nlicht I speer ?" said Elspet.
"1 am going to write a book," an-
swered Miss Dale.
Then, indeed,Elspet's face fell, for her
l'nemory went back to the day when Wil-
liam Dale labored with his pen day and
night, and yet had never reached the for-
tune he hoped and worked for.
• Barbara divined the unspoken
thought.
I know what you are thinking, El-
spet," she said soberly. "But I am not
going to write quite the same kind of
. books that papa wrote. They were
