"Eh, bairn, what wad I no gie for a glint o' Dunire an' a scent o' the heather hills." The voice was feeble and full of a most painful longing. Faithful Elspet Carmichael was dying far "frae hame," dying amid the smoke, and din, and bustle of the great Baby- lon, and in the last hours her heart was in her own land, among her own people, her eyes longing for the ecenes from which she had been severed so long. It was the evening of a November day, and a fog enveloped the city in its im- penetrable folds. Even in the comfort- able sick chamber the atmosphere was close and unpleasant, and thega.s burned only dimly. Barbara was in the room, sitting by the bed pale and heavy -eyed, for her heart was very sore for Elspet. "Dear Elspet," she said, and laid her cool hand on the old, worn, and nerve- less fingers, "if I only could get all these for you, If only I could spirit you away to Dunire. When the spring comes we will go together-" She:paused, for the old woman raised a warning finger. " Wheesht, bairn; baith you and me kens brawly that I'll never gee anither spring. I ken ye wad gia me a'thing. I'm no grumblin , but the hame o' yer forbears is dear, dear tae a Scotch heart -Bonnie Dunire." - She said the last words almost in a whisper, and the look on her face told the girl who watched by her. how she loved the place. Only now did Barbara begin to know the full depth of unselfish devotion which had made Elspet Car- michael stick to the one daughter of the house of Ogilvie, and again to her daughter, so log and faithfully. " Are you weaker to -day, Elspet ? " she asked anxiously. "Ay, ay, slippin' awa'," said the old woman, and, suddenly lifting the girl's left hand, she looked for a few moments at the ring shining on the third finger. "It's a braw ring, an' it was a braw man that gied it, an' no only a braw bairn, but a guid," she said. "1 can dee in peace, Miss Barbara, kennin' be a happy rnairret wife afore lang." " Yes, Elspet," said Barbara, very low. " Bairn !" The keen, black eyes turned very searchingly upon the girl's face. "Answer me ae thing, truly, hae ye telt Sir Adrian about Robert yet?" "No, Elspet, I'm afraid," said Bar- bara. " Ye maun dee 't. What is 't, ye fear? D'ye no ken that a man's true love winna gang past ye for sic a trifle? Tell him, bairn, the very neist time ye see him. If ye wait- till yelre mairret he '11 mebbe no forgie ye Build for hidin't frae him. Nae guid ever cam' o' con- cealment yet, Barbara; my lamb, be guided in time." " Youdon't understand, Elspet," said Barbara hurriedly. "Sir Adrian Se- verne might not think fit to connect him- self With the sister of a felon. I -I dare not tell him, Elspet, I could not let him go now." Elspet shook her head to and fro on the pillow. '1 Ye winna, prosper --mark my words, ye winna prosper if ye keep on deceivin' the man, she said solemnly,. " Free that I jalouse that ye'll be gaun tae let yer brither dra.p-a.'thegither ?" she added sarcastically. "It is not right, it is not just, Elspet, that I should suffer for my brother's sin," said Barbara, rebelliously. It's the way o' this weary warld. Eh, bairn, I lo'ed yer mither weel, and I lo'ed ye as weel-mind my deein words. Be open wi' the noble, true - hearted man wha hives ye better than himser. Tell him a'thing afore ye tak'. a wife's vows upon ye. It'll save ye mony a sair heart, and maybe something waur," said Elspet half -drowsily. Then she fell into a slight sleep, and Barbara rose. The words impressed her deeply, but she had travelled so far on 'the way of deceit that it was hard, hard to turn back. She pictured to herself the look upon the face of her lover when she told her tale, fancied how he would turn from her in his righteous ire, and,though she believed he would not cast her off, SITie would need to be contented hence- forth to occupy a lower place in his esti- mation. He had placed her on the high- est pedestal, and it would be gall to her to step lower. So she reasoned and hardened herself, and continued in the path she had chosen. Ah, me! but the days were coming when she should remember with bitter pain the faithful counsel of Elspet Car- michael. They were the last - words Elspet spoke. Before the dawn she fell asleep, quietly and peacefully, and so the last link was severed between Bar- bara's old life and the new. She was laid to rest, as she desired, beside Mrs.' Dale, in the London cemetery. Even in death she did not wish to be parted from those for whom she had given up so much. In the first week of December Barbara proceeded to Bassett Royal. She was to be married in the parish church of Bassett on the morning of Christmas Day. During the six months of her en- gagement she had not once come in con- tact with her future kinsfolk. They chose to ignore her, to ignore altogether the fact of the coming marriage. Adrian waited as long as he could before he broke the silence. But when December came, and he was counting days instead of weeks till his marriage, it behoved him to have some conversation regarding the future state of his domestic affairs. At breakfast, one morning at Mount Severne, he said, pointedly and some- what coldly - "My marriage takes place,. mother, on Christmas Day." " So you have lett us to gather from the columns of the society journals," said Lady Seveine, briefly.' "Is that my blame, mother ?" asked Adrian, quietly. "Have you ever asked me a question? Have you ever express- ed the slightest interest in my affairs ?" Lady Severne held her peace. "The bride is to be given away, I be- lieve, by Lady Bassett," said Frances, leisurely sipping her coffee. "1 owe to Lady Bassett W debt which - I shall never be able to repay," said Adrian. " She has done and been to me all I had a right to expect from my rela- tives." There was a dead silence. Lady Severne turned over. the Times, but THE HURO though her eyes were fixed pon it she did not read a word. "My wife and I shall corie straight to Mount Severne on Christmas Day," he said preiently. "Which means, mamma," said Frances, with her chill smile, " that you and I will be expected to spend Christ- mas elsewhere." Lady Severne niade no remark. " Mother," said Adrian, pushing back his chair, and speaking in tones they had seldom heard* "wilt y u lay aside your paper for a few mina s and listen to me ? ' "1 am listening," she a swered, but did not look at him. "We must.corne to some understand- ing at once and for all. In your present state of feeling towardsthe woman who is to -be my wife it would scarcely be pleasant for you, leaving her feelings out of the question altogether, to be here when I bring her home." Lady Severne bowed her head. "1 have not spent a Christmas away from Mount Severne eince your father died, but doubtless Frances and I can go elsewhere, and leave the h use to you and your bride," she said, ith affected meekness, which 'seas all pr de. Adrian Severne bit his 1 p. He was sorely tried, but ie woul give them nothing wherewitl to repro ch him. I shall make rrangem nts, if you wish, to have Beltreis Hallut in order for you ; it-" -" My arrangements are alheady made, Adrian," ',his nother linterrupted. "Frances and Igo to Mentone on the 26th. We will reinain her to receive your wife, and then rid you of our presence." Adrian was Profoundly surprised. Was she softening '? Was it not possible after all that she Might reco cile herself to the inevitable, and welcoifrie his wife with at least an ontward sh w of kind- ness and cordiallity. The s ul of kindli- ness himself, he 1 never d eamed that there could be asiother and a. baser motive in her heart. "Thank you, mother, for ev n that concession," he said quickly, and she winced at the words. "How long do you intend to remain in France ?" he asked by-and-by. "Several week. I intend to pur- chase a house in tendon, Adrian; and at holiday times we may look upon the Dower House as °dr own, I suppose." Adrian remained silent. 1The Dower House was fon nWar 1Mount Severne. Barbara would be s bjeated to a constant scrutiny, which mi ht be unpleasant to her. But she cou1i h ld her .own, he knew, therefore he aniswered cordially eriough-" As you please, mother," and the subject dropped. Sir Adrian Severne's engagement with Miss Ogilvie had created much stir in certain circles, and the denouement of the affair was waited for with consider- able anxiety. When th O society journals announced that the maririage was to take place at Bassett, and that the breakfast was to be laid at Besse t Royal, it be- came a matter • of uch conjecture whether Sir Adrian Se erne's relatives intended to countenanc the affair. It became known before t e 25th that his nearest kindred intend d to absent them- selves, but his uncle, Lord Ederslie, had signified his intention • f being present, and the select few to w om Lady Bas- sett sent cards of in itation accepted without any exception. On the 24th Sir Adrian Severne ca e to Bassett,and, after dining at the Re tory, proceeded on foot to Bassett Roya . "Adrian, I was growing anxious lest you should not come to- ightJ" said Lady 1, Bassett, meeting him in he hill]. "Come in here a moment. Ba bara ' is in the drawing -room. I want only a word with you." She drew him into the library and shut the door. I "What of your mother and sister, Adrian ? Do they shoW no signs of re- lenting?" she inquired eagerly. "I hardly know howIto answer you," he said. "1 cannot read Frances, but my motlier waits at Mpunt Severne to receive 1Barbara ; 1 these were her words." Lady Bassett reflected a nioment. "1 wish you had told me of this be- fore, Adrian. I would Wo willingly have placed Blenheim Towers at your disposal rather than that Barbara should be sub- jected to such an ordeal on her wedding - day. She will not be in a very fit frame of mind to stand a cold, reception." " Do you doubt my mother's sincer- ity '?" asked Adrian. "My dear boy, no but what she might deem -a kind enough reception, might chill the heart of a young wife on her wedding -day," she said. "1 think you have not acted quite wisely in this matter." Adrian began to -pace restlessly to and fro the room. (What can I do,1 Lady Bassett !" "Nothing now. It may be all right, but I have been yery uneasy to -day. Now go to Barbara; she is waiting for you." As Adrian Severee turned to leave the room he took one of the white handsand raised it to his lips tenderly and rever- ently. "May God bless ,you for your kind- ness to Barbara and to me -kindness which we can neer hope eithek\ to acknowledge or repay," he said, speak- ing under the inflOence of deep erno- tion. Tears started to I,a.dy Bassett' s eyes, and she kept the hand a moMent in her own. "You have crept both of you, into the heart of a childless widosv, she said tremulously; then a smile Stole about her lips. "And because it is my nature to be contrary I have faVored you, whetber wisely or unwisely remains to be seen, in this love affair of yours." An answering smile touched Adrian's lips. I "Wisely, you will live to ee," he an- swered lightly, and went aw y upstairs to his darling. • 1 The beautiful room was ih darkness save at the further I end, where a !red glow from the fire Made strange, fantas- tic shadows on the floor. Ilia low chair on the hearth sat Barbara, with her hands folded on her lap, and her eyes fixed upon the fire. Her face was grave ,and thoughtful even to sadness, and her ,t3Tets were troubled. She was glad to 'hear the door open, and, rising slowly, turned to great her lover. Her attitude was one of shy expectancy, her face downcast, her eyes moist and tender. He said nothing, only took the drooping figure to his heart as if he would keep it there for evermore. There was no shrinking from his embrace, no avoid- ance of his caress, for all the love of her heart was his. How deep, abiding, and passionate that love she had not discov- ered yet. "My darling," he whispered brand - by, "1 thought to -day would never come." She smiled a little, and drawing her- self back, looked up into his face. " Am I very dear to you, Adrian ?" she asked, almost wistfully. Dear How dear no words of his could tell. She was the very light of his eyes, the joy of his heart, the most prec- ious thing to him on earth. "Could nothing make you love me less, Adrian? Will you always care for me as much as you do to -night ?" "Why these questions, dear one ?" he asked lightly. Nothing could make me love you less -unless I was to learn that you had deceived me in any way." "Why should I deceive you, Adrian? That is a strange thing to say." She faltered and her eyes fell. "My darling, I will have no more of this foolish talk," he sad gently. "You are to be my wife to -Morrow. That is sufficient for me at present. Lift up your face, my dearest, and tell me you are happy. I have not asked many assurances from you, Barbara; give me this one." She lifted her pale face to his, and laid her hands on his tall shoulders with a light, clinging touch. "Yes, Adrian, I am happy, and I will be to you a loving and faithful wife. There is no,thing I will not do and be to you to prove my gratitude for the un- speakable honor and happiness you have given to me." Then she hid her face upon his breast, sobbing, breaking down in his presence for the first time. I need not linger with them here. There was not a shadow upon the happy 'heart of Adrian Severne, and Barbara, yielding to his influence' found her heart beginning to be at restagain. Surely when she was the wife of this man no care nor sorrow could come near her any more. None indeed, except the bitter sorrow she had heaped up for herself. The only shadow upon her hearth would be that placed there by her own hands. CHAPTER, XVI. THE WEDDING DAY. There was a guest at the marriage of Sir Adrian Severne whO had received no card from Lady Bassett. He was early in the church, and sat in an obscure pew behind one of the flower -wreathed pil- lars. But from thence he had a good view of the ceremony, and while it was proceeding a half -bitter, half -scornful smile played about his cruel lips. It was a fair morning for a bridal, and the Christmas sunshine stole into the beautiful building and gilded the head of the bride as she knelt before the altar. She was exquisitely dressed, and looked more beautiful than eveni those who . ad- mirei her most had ever seen her look before. She took her vows calmly and 'quietly, uttering the responses in a clear, sweet voice distinctly audible through the whole church. Even the uninvited guest did not lose a word, and he ground his teeth as he listened. But when the ceremony was past the bride moved and spoke like one in a dream. She obeyed her husband's touch upon her arm, and accompanied him to the vestry, signing the register there, and listening to the warm congratulations offered to her with- out being able to answer. There was a fear in her heart, a fear of something in- definable, but of which she could not rid herself. She found its explanation be- fore she reached the carriage •which waited to convey her back to Bassett Royal. As they stepped out of the church into the warm, clear light of a brilliant sun, the uninvited guest, stand- ing among some curious onlookers by the church porch, looked directly into the face of the bride, and spoke a few words, brief, pointed, and courteous - "1 congratulate you, Lady Severne." They were heard by those nearest to him, but fortunately or unfortunately escaped the ears of the bridegroom. He felt his wife's fingers tremble on his arm, and turned to see her grown pale as death. "My darling, what is it? This has been too much for you," he whispered. . "A momentary faintness, Adrian," she answered, with a wretched attempt at a smile. "It is a trying ordeal even for a woman who claims to be free of nervousness. It will pass in a mo- ment." Nevertheless, the pallor did not leave her face, and when she crossed the threshold of Bassett Royal, dressed for her wedding journey, her eyes were full of a strange, deep dread, and she glanced round almost expecting to see there also the uninvited guest. She made her adieux hurriedly,scarce- ly finding words wherewith to answer the blessing with which the woman who had stood in the place of a mother to her sent her on her way. They drove to the railway junction, some miles distant, to meet a train which would take them direct to Abbot's Lynn, the nearest sta- tion to Mount Severne. When the train was fairly on its way the newly -made wife recovered herself, and began to talk in her natural and graceful way. "Your mother and sister are to bat Mount Severne, Adrian," she said, as they neared their journey's end. "1 am not a timid woman, but I shrink from the meeting. They might have sent me a kind word by letter to reas- sure me." " You will not be in their presence lohg before you win their hearts, as you have won mine, my wife," said Adrian, fondly; but Barbara slightly shook her head. "They are women, Adrian," she said,. with a gleam of sarcastic humor; "and they have cause to regard me with dis- favor, because I have in a measure sup- planted them." She spoke the words as she felt them in simple truth, and withaut the shadow of offensive assumption. From how few women's lips could such a sentence have fallen so gracefully, her husband thought; but he also thought inwardly that such a speech made in the hearing of his kinsfolk would be likely to raise a storm. But having implicit confidence in his wife's tact and good taste, his mind was at ease. The short winter day was near its close when the train steamed into the station at Abbot's Lynn. They were the only passengers, and their carriage the only vehicle in sight. In the grey ;light the curious officials saw nothing of the new lady of the manor, except a slight figure i buried in furs, for her face wasyeiled. (To be continued.) N EXPOSITOR.
