(Continued from last week.) s CHAPTER XXIV. Until Markham got to the -Seatons' house he quite forgot what Cecil had told him; they were having a reception, a great reception, the farewell to their many friends of the season. In his present attire, Markham° could scarcely enter, besides he did not know the Sea - tons. He ingtured of more than one liveried footman standing about if he could tell him anything of Grey. Was Grey upstairs? Had he left? No one Beemed able to give accurate informa- tion. One said one thieg, one another. Markham resolved to see the reception out on the steps. He was slightly in the ehadow himself, but he mond see the face of each man and woman as they came out to go away, An attendant looked askance at him; Ile slipped a sovereign into the maRls hand and held on to his positien. i' By -and -bye the very last guest departed. No, Grey wasmot . present. Markham hailed a hansom and drove back to Grey's club.; The hall -porter &inured him that Mr. Grey bad never come in. Then he drove to the young man's private ad- dress' in Curzon street; the house was shut up, no light anywhere; finally, Markham wens to his 'own hotel. He Wai spent, weary, almost faint now, it was hours since he had eaten. He or- dered some supper, quickly despatched it, and going up to his room at last took -out Cecit's letter. All this titne re- morse like a vulture was tearing him. How could he in the moment of his own deliverance have so forgutten hisy riend as to let him receive this blow nsup- ported. The sense of Jocelyn s un- worthiness had been a relief to him. Why did he forget that what was his release tnighe be another man's death? He opened Cecil's letter, Some strag- gly lines were writren across a thick page of the club note -paper. ' "Rich man must have his turn; en- closed will explein," There was no signature. Markham saw then tt Grey had absolutely sent himJocelyn'a own letter. He took it in his hand for a moment, tried to open it carelessly, then flung it from him on the floor as if it were a living thing and could sting him. Presently be buried hie head in bis hands, and stroug man, in many respects iron man that he was, he began to weep, A men's tears • are terrible things. Markham was weeping for the sorry part he had played, for the desolatiornwhich he had , caused, and also -because a new dull fear had taken possession of him. Wes it at all likely that Hope would look at him or think of him again? Between fear about Hope, end remorse at having let Cecil meet Hs trouble unaided, Markham had a bad night of it. It was not until morning had long broken that he took courage to read Jocelyn's letter. This was what she said : " DEAR Cxcire—When you hold this in your hands I shall be another man's wife. I know how angry you will be. I know that I elan.' have hurt you aw- fully. I am very sorry. I would not if I could help it, Cecil, give you a mo- ment's pain. Pll tell you how it is, and how I can't help myself. I am marry- ing the Count Longobardi because 1 am a coward. I am afraid of him—you don't know how tierce ho can look. He is an Italian, and has an etwful passionate nature. Ile does not ; know anything about my ever being engaged to you— he must never know, it would be too dreadful. I'll tell you the story about him, Cecil, " Last winter at Algiers, Aunt Mar- garet used to have receptions, and he always ewe to them. He is enormoue- ly rich, and Aunt Margaret thought for a, time he was coining afterrLottie. She did not want Lottie to marry a foreigner, and she often Said she would only give her to an Engl1shman.1 But the Count did not want Lottie, it was me. He said that he worshipped me, and I think he did and does. He asked ine to marry him, and I was frightened, and I said I would. I was sorry the moment I said it, I didn't a bit want to merry him. I begged of him to keep ,our engagement secret, and I always hoped and hoped that I might get out of it. Then you wrote, asking me to marry you, again, and I thought how much nicer you were than the Count, and I felt more sorry than ever that I had promised to be his. He was very fierce just then'and he was always threatening to tell Aunt Mar- garet, but I used all my powers to get him to keep it a secret. I tried to make him think Aunt Margaret wouldn't let me have him, that he meant me for some grand titled man in England. That frightened him, and he gave in. I told him I would marry him privately whenever he wished, but that we must net tall Aunt Margaret until after We were man and wife. Just then° he had to go to Italy, I think his father - died or something—anyhow be had to go away in a hurry. It was then I was -coming to England for Hope's wedding, and I managed to get away without his knowing, and I hoped oh so earnestly that I had escaped the Count. Then you proposed to me, Cecil, once again, the third time, dear Cecil. I theught perhaps that the Count could never find me in England. Noasuch luck, he dis- eovered me all too _soon. I have gone through six weeks of misery, trying to keep you two apart. I don't think he knows of your existence—he must never know. Lottie helped me, and I married hire this morning. I am writing this now while he thinks I am changiug my dress. Oh, how my handl shake 1 Good-bye, Cecil. I :don't suppose I'd have been a good wi e for you. What a pity it wasn't Hope, you fell in love with ! Ferget the worthless, the un- happy, ; JOCELYN LONGOBARDI." Markham read every word of this letter. "Poor girl !" he said softly. f ' Yes, it was somebody quite different who filled my heart. I in bitterly sorry for her and for Cecil," - Then he saw some pencilled, lines faintly seratched at the end of the ;letter. They were in Cecil's hand -writing. " Burn this, Markham,when you have read it." So Markham tore up the letter, and committed it to the flames. The nontes- se's miserable story was safe as far as he and Grey were concerned. ' CHAPTER XX- V. Hope settled herself comfortably in a tiny village on the Devonshire coast. She had gone there once many years ago with her mother. She sought out the same landlady, who kept just the same neat little white washed, spotlessly clean. dwelling. She took in Hope with accla. mations of delight; told her she, had grown into a most beautiful young lady, fed her up and petted her. Hope now set herself seriously to the task of getting well; quite well, not only in body, but in mind, she intended to become, but even Elope did .not re- alize how sore and deep her pain was. She determined to lead a busy life in the little village. She made friends with the fisher people, _and often went out in, their boate. Shehired a rough pony, and took long rides by herself. She studied French and German diligently, made a collection of sea anemones and seaweeds. She even sketched a little, and during every naornent of spare time she read. No one could have led* busier or more healthful life. The color bloomed/ mice more in her cheeks, aud the light of health came back to her eyes. , Still, the dull ache in her heart did not go away. It lay down with her at night, and pursued her through the long aud busy day; She knew its name ---at was a starved- pain—starved because Dick had turned away from her, and she might; never see his face again. She had been about a month at High - beach, and all OW time had /congratu- lated herself at mit having met a single human being of her own world, when one day, returning from a longer ride than usual, she was startled by hearing a clear voice call out her name. ; She turned round, and saw, rather to her dismay, Roley Douglas, accompan- ied by two other boys, coming tumblieg and leaping over the short rough grass to ineet her. " Hullo ! I knew it was you, Hope— Kiss karron,1 suppose Ipught to say—I always do call you Hope behind your back. We have come down ta lodge next door to you, Jones and Spicer aud Here he waved his hand in a patroniz- Wig style to the other boys, who were needy double his size, and looked red and awkward. Hope nodded to them, took Roley's hand in hers, but mould not help a shade of disappointment, coming into her voice. i "How did you find me out, Roley ? I did not think anyone—anyone knew where I was." I like thet ! What a muff you must teke -me for 1 Wasn't your easel outside the door,*and a bit of blotting -paper of yours floating out of the open window with great D's scribbled all over it? D stands for—D stands for—I say, Hope, you ne d not go off in a rage likethat. I'm no going to split. The fact is, we all had whooping -cough at school, and Jones and Spicer and I were the worst. And myonother wrote to our master, and told him what a nice place High- beaah was. She didn't say anything about your being here. We foundthat out for ourselves; didn't we, Spicer ?" " I say, you might let Miss Karon go on—go on with her ride," drawled Spicer. . "Oh, I'm very glad to see you, boys," said Hope, after a moment. "I've had my ride, and am coming home -now., And will you --will you all," she added? "come and have tea with me to -night. If you say Yes, we may as well go round by the shrimp-man's—I know Roley of old was devoted to shrimps." Roley uttered a loud hurrah of joy; Spicer might have been observed to pro- nounce distinctly the one word ' Galop- shious !' while Jones, who had not hitherto articulated, said solemnly, 'It's scrum ptious ?' During the days that followed the boys and Hope spent most of their time together. After the first little pang of diemay. she had to oevn that she was glad. of their society. She was just the sort of girl -herself to delight boys, and they took long expeditions together, had a few almost perilous adventures, not a few long delightful d ' ays and were in every respect the best offriends. . I" I think you might," said Roleode clay to her. ) - " alight what, Roley ?" "Might let me call you Hope n w, to your face, as well as, behind your back." " larell," said Hope, after a pau e, " it doesn't sound very respectful, does in? I used to be your teacher, you know." "Yes, the only jolly one I ever had." "'But I'M not your teacher now. Yes, I think, on the whole, you inay call me Hope." ss "Thanks awfully. And I s ppoee Spicer and Jones may too. They don't like Miss Karron ;they thiuk it so stiff." No, o, Roley; I really must dr w the line there." "Must you? I think it's rath r hard of you. Spicer and Jonee lik youl tremendously. Spicer said the other night that he'd alniest as soon have' a walk- with 'you as eet shrimps. e did really; and Jones nodded. Jo es al- ways nods to everything Spicier says." I " I'm -greatly obliged,' said Rope, " and—flattered. Are they coining now? It's time we were off.' It was on the evening of that same day that Roley edged up close to Hope, looked into her face, and said : "I've a bit of news for you. You won't guess what my eyes rested on to- day." " No ; what is it? I wish you would- n't be mysterious, Raley." "1 mysterious? That's not my way. Why, you have all colored up! Well, P11, tell you -1 expect ;you'll be sur- prised. Rossiter's here. "Nonsense, Roley I don't believe it." "It isn't nonsense. I saw' him—a groom had him—he's in the stable at the White Hart—I saw him going in. He looked very wicked, and the groom seemed afraid of him. As if I wouldn't know Rossiter He is here—he's in the stable of the Wihite Hart this minute. I'll go and ask if you won't believe me. "No, Roley, you'll do nothing of the kind. You have mistaken the horee, that's all. Little boys are always mak- ing mistakes of the kind." "Thank you—' little boys,' -indeed ! Little boys 'are sometimes right. Bow obstinate you are, Hope, and your face is as white as it was roeyn minute ago. i Are you tired, Hope ?" "1 believe I am e I'll go indoors," said Hope. All the freshness had left her voice. She went- in feeling flit and quiet, After all, life with the flavor out of it meet at the best be a tasteless thing. Presently she went to bed, buts head- ache kept her awake. Roley waif pro - OR. WONDERFUL CLEARING SALE REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

"1 hope Robin is nice and fresh this moraine. I mean to take it 'well out of him, I can tell you." Nobody answered; she had been drawing on her gloves, and had not for the moment raised her head. The color was freah in her cheeks; she never look- ed more animated, nor sweeter.. Now, startled at the silence, she raised her eyes fully. "Jim—" she began. Then she turn- ed very white, stepped back a pace or two, and leant . against the cottage porch. . Neither Jim nor the rough pony was waiting for her, but Rossiter, pawing the ground and arching his neck,- stood close to the cottage step; he had on a lady's saddle. By his side was a power- ful black horse, and holding the bridles of both rood Dick tlarkham. ," Wil you come for a ride ?" he ,., salidi His vOice WII8 gruff, and not very , sternly. ' You need not be afraid of Rossiter. He conquered you once. Having- don% that, he'll forgive you all the rest of his days. You need notdear Rossiter, nor —nor me—Hope." "1 never feared either man or horse," said Hope, when she could find her voice. 1" But—I don't understand." ‘" No, you don't. Something marvel- ous has happened—marvelous, mirasur loos ! ;Take one tide on Rossiter by mil side, and let mei tell you. Hope, let me tell you; I shall be a broken-hearted man all my days if you say no." Perhaps Hope karron had no spirit, after all. Noone can quite coent be- forehand on how a girl will act under given circumstances. This girl stood quite still for another full minute, then ,shebeld out her hand to Markham, and lightly eprang on Rossiter's back, They took a long ride away, away through the lovely country. For hours they were absent, and when at last they returned, no one who had known Hope of old could now miss anything out of her face. "There is one thing," said Markham, as they rode quietly up to the cottage door. "That I never even knew the meaning of being properly in love be- fore." "And you are certain, Dick—certain," said Hope, in a shy, tremulous voice, "that the shadow won't come back agaia ?" "t cannot, Hope; it has melted into air. You fill my heart. When all is said and done, I cannot give you more than, all." But Hope never knew—never during the whole of her happy married life— whose face and voice Markham had once passionately worshipped. She never knew this, for neither Markham nor Grey would tell her. JI.Ocelyn did not return to England, aud from one cause or another the sisters are scarcely likely to meet. By -and -bye Grey recovered from the blow which had nearly- shattered him. He m rried Bee Chatterton, and makes her an excellent husband.' Mailkham says no man is as happy as he is, and he also adds, What perhaps in someiways is true,,that he doesn't de- serve it. _4" But then there was never any one ; quite -like Hope," he adds;""which just accounts for my being absolutely forgiven and loved beyond my deserte."
