WHICH IS IT?
BY EDWARD J. TORE&
"So you have no lave foe Mr. Melircourt,
Fanny? Are you sure you will not regret
some day that you have dismissed him? I
thought you were learning to like him,
and you seem to me/no well suited to each
other."
"And I do like him very much, Ellen,but
I cannot love him like -like that. He is as
light-hearted and thoughtless as myself, and
I have looked upon him as a pleasant com-
panion, but nothieg more, I have been so
accustomed to look up to you and depend
upon you, that I must have someone to lean
on, so until he comes, if ever he does,
you will still be plagued with your giddy
Fanny."
"Well, perhaps you aro right, and I
would not on any account see you married
to a man you did not love with ail your
heart. Yoo were quite right to refuse him,
but our father will be disappointed, for he
has been hoping for this match, which
certainly would be a good one in many re-
sprte.'
• Poor papa: so he was in a hurry to get
rid of me, too."
"You know, dear child, he will miss you
esdly whenever the day comes for you to
leave us. The 'great advantage of your
marriage with Mr. Mellicourt in his eyes
was that you would still be near us. He
feels that he must lose bis darling at some
time, and he dreads your being taken far
sway from him."
"You have both spoilt me so, Ellen, that
I am in no hurry to quit you. I an so
happy in this deer old house, and so much
loved, that I cannot hope any change would
be for the better. When you marry and
desert me, then indeed I may think of fol-
lowing your example."
Mr. Medhurst had been left a widower
with two young daughters, and ever since
the death of his dearly beloved wife he had
lived a retired, almost secluded, life at his
pleasant residence, Tbe Maples, close to a
small suburban village. Of a naturally
studious thoughtful turn of mind, the loss
of his wife, whom he married late in life
and loved with a deep affection that had
never been frittered away in passing flirta-
tions, rendered him more averse even than
previously from general society. Neither
did he feel that he had much in common
with his neighbor., either the hardworking
fermate) of the locality or the rich city mer-
chants whose residences were to be found in
this convenient and attractive ;spot.
Immediately after his bereavement, a
widowed sister had taken up her residence
at The Maples, and for some years bad effi-
ciently cared for his children and conducted
his household. But when she died in her
turn, Mr. Medhurst looked out for no one to
fill her place; his eldest daughter, killen,
who though only fourteen, was singularly
sedate and thoughtful for her age assumed
much of the responsibility. Especially did
she constitute herself the guardian, the play-
mate and protector in one, of her younger
sister. She bad been old enough to be deep-
ly impressed by her mother's death -bed
charge to her to watch over the helplees
babe then lying In its cradle.
Mrs. Medhuret had obtaioed some insight
into her character even at that early age,
and drew much comfort that she was rely-
ing upon one who deserved such confidence.
Nobly Ellen redeemed her pledge; though
there was only five years difference betweren
the sisters, she almost filled the pleas of a
mother to Fanny. It was to Ellen that the
little one turned naturally for comfort in
her childish troubles,for aid in her childish
difficulties. And as years passed on, the
same close tie still continued between them;
it was Ellen who thought for both, who ad-
vised and guided and petted, while Fanny
eeemed delighted to have it so. The few
who knew them found it difficult to decide
which was most charming, the protecting,
thoughtful love of the elder rioter, or the
clinging affection of the yoonger. The posi-
tion relative to each other, strengthened
certain natural traits in their character and
increased the 'dissimilarity between them
Ellen, who inherited her father's thoughtful
habits and reticent depth of feeling, was
renderedistill more sedate and self-control-
led, while Fanny, endowed with the bright,
merry disposition of her mother, eetained
the playful gaiety of a child.
The home circle bad comprised their
sooiety almost entirely. There was their
clergyman, an elderly widower, without
children; their doctor, with a meek, color-
ants little wife and one or two others whom
hey saw oces;ionally ; but friends or inti -
ate iacquaintances they had absolutely
one; yet they lived perfectly contented
with their own society.
The first thing to cause a break in this
uiet life was the return home of the son of
ne of their nearest neighbors, Mr, Motif-
ourt, a very wealthy merchant from the
eighboring- city. George Mellicourt had
itherto been little at home, hie university
ducation having been followed by a pro-
oeged tour in Europe. Now he took a
osition in hie father's firm, and settled
own as a resident, Before long a chance
ntroduotion to the Medhursta led to a visit,
hich was repeated, and the intervals be -
ween his calls grew shorter till he was a
°natant guest at The Maples. There had
een no lack of hospitality in Mr. Med-
urst's disinclination for society, It was
ether a shrinking from making new ao-
usintanoes, and a feeling that hie own
uiet family circle was more to his taste,
hat had been his motive.
So he received George Mellicourt civilly
t first, and soon with cordiality as he be.
me accustomed, and took a liking to the
ay cheerfulness and unaffected good humor
his young companion. Soon there was
nother reason for his satisfaction with this
ew acquaintence. There was plainly a
otive for Mellicourt'e frequent visits from
hioh results might spring that be looked
rward to with glowing pleasure.

Fanny had now reaohed her seventeenth
year, and certainly she presented a sufficient
motive for any number of neighborly calls
from a man of George Mellicourt's age.
Highly as she was prized by her loving re-
lations, he was no whit behind them in his
appreciation of her, and it soon became evi-
dent that he longed to take from them their
treasure,
It was not only her beauty, undeniable as
that was, nor her gay vivacity and bright-
ness of disposition, which was even more
characteristic • but the great charm in her
to one who, though few years older than
herself, had spent those years in the gay
society of more than one European capital,
was the pure, spotters innocence, the fresh-
ness of mind, which the mode of her life had
left with all the bloom untouched.
He could see that she liked him, but I the
very transparency of her mind was decep-
tive, and it had been long before he had
ventured to try whether this liking was in
reality the love that would make her his.
As we have seen, her heart had not yet been
stirred, and he was unsuccessful in his ap-
peal to her. If her father and even her
sister would gladly have had it otherwise,
they certainly did not think fit to attempt
to influence her -against ber inclinatious ; so,
George Mellicourt, finding they looked upon
her decision as final, accepted his fate and
held aloof from The Maples, where he would
be continually reminded Of the happinees he
bad missed when he thought it within his
grasp.
Now that their uneventful, peaceful life
had been broken in upop; it seemed that
they were not fated to regain their old quie-
tude. That autumn the Clergyman died
suddenly, and hie successor was anxiously
expected. In that small community the
clergyman was a person of considerable im-
portance. He did not keep hie expectant
parishioners long in suspense, for early in

the next week the news spread that Mr.
Tyndall, the new clergyman, had arrived at
the parsonage„ Tbere was an unusually
large and unusually attentive congregation
in the church on the following Sunday.
The newcomer made a decidedly favorable
impression. Very different from the dull,
heavy diecourse and almost inarticulate
murmurings of the late clergyman were
the plain but pointed sermon and im-
pressive delivery of the present incumbent.
"1 like the look of the new clergyman,
don't you, Ellen ?" sail Fanny Medhurst, as
they walked away from the church. "1 am
sure from his face that he is as kind and
good-hearted as our dear old friend was, and
he seems olever as well."
"What struck me most was his intense
earnestness," rejoined her sister. " He not
only appears to feel deeply every word he
utters, but to strive with heart and soul to
impress the truth , upon his hearers. He
may do great good in the perish, and we
are fortunate in getting such a clergyman."
"We must persuade papa to go and call
upon him to -morrow," said Fanny. "1 dare
eay' he will find him an agreeable companion
and that he so seldom meets with here.
Poor papa, he is so fastidious; but thie Mr.
Tyndall 8601M3 both A gentleman and a clever
man."
The visit was paid, and Mr. Tyndall' re-
turned it in due form, but for a time the in-
tercourse between them remained on I this
ceremonious footing,'Mr. Tyndall, at all
events, seeming little anxious to push it for-
ward in spite of their friendly overtures.
It was not because he did not appreciate
the privilege offered to him. Mr. Tyndall
was afflicted with an inveterste shyness, an
innate nervous temperament, which he was
unable to subdue in spite of his great men-
tal powers. He positively dreaded making
new acquaintances, and could not assert
himself even with the few old ones he had.
At the English college where he had taken
high honors this idlosyncreey lied barred
him from making friends among his 0012*
temporaries'though it did not prevent him
from gaining the esteem and goodwill of
many.
University life brings men too closely in
contact, and gives them too many oppor-
tunities of judging each - other, for the most
retiring bookworm to escape the observe -
tints and dun valuation of his compeers.
Those with whom at intervals he was posi-
tively forcedi by circumstances to hold some
passing intercourse, reported that Robert
Tyndall, besides being one of the cleverest
men of his year, of which they were all con-
vinced, was also good-natured and obliging,
and would be an agreeable companion enough
if he would only get rid of his absurd diffi-
dence and gaucherie, and as to the sterling
worth of his character, there was no doubt
of that timong the acute young observers by
whom he Was surrounded.
After- taking his degree he entered into
orders, but instead of looking out for a
curacy he remained At his UlliVerllity 118 a
private tutor.' It was noticed that he be-
treYed little of hie ueual want of self-confi-
dence while , imparting instruction, which
he did with such clearness that he was con-
sidered a most successful "coach," but from
any further intimacy with his pupils he
shrank as of old.
With his lbooks he felt at home, and
while acquiring or communicating learning
he was engrossed in the pursuit tillthere
was no room left in his mind for thought of
self; so he was natural and self-reliarnt,
was ordinary imolai intercourse which he
could not face !with composure, and three or
four years spent in thii almost secluded life
tended to aggravate this weakness.
After a Mine, however, he became dis-
satisfied withl himself and his position.
Scrupulously conscientious he felt that this
scholastic life was hardly carrying out the
high aspirations for his sacred calling with
which he had taken holy orders. At this
junoture he met a Canadian biahop then vis-
iting in England, and was greatly impressed
with what he heard of the country. Ac-
cordingly, he accompanied the bishop on his
return to Canada, where before very long he
was appointed to the incumbency of Beaver -
mead, the village near which The Maples
was situated.
His parishioners soon discovered the
peculiarity of their new pastor; to the
cordial hospitality of some of the wealthier
farmers, to the respectful but friendly greet-
ings of humbler parishioners, he responded
with the stiffness and -want of ease caused
by his nervous embarrassment, At first
they were somewhat disposed to resent this,
attributing it to pride or want of interest in
his flock, but he pould not long remain thus
misunderstood ' • tile sweetness of disposition,
his goodness ofheart, and combined energy
and patience in the duties of his office, were
toe palpable to be overlooked by the densest
intellect.
So speedily he won their affection, none
the lees sincere because there was mingled
with it a feeling of pity for his morbid nen-
voininess and timidity. One thing they re-
marked at once with satisfaction, in both
his publieetnd private ministrations he lost
all embarraesment ; the solemnity of the
occasion and his earnest zeal in his sacred
duties shut out film his mind all thought of
self, and left himl nature', and impressive.
With the children!, too, both in the Sunday
School and eleewhere, he showed none of
the nervous diffidence that marked his in-
tercourse with their parents; the love for
them that filled his large heart was plainly
visible to them, as it always is, and the
tiniest toddlers of the village approached
him -fearlessly, sure of meeting with a kind
word or smile. How much the mothers
were ready to overlook in him on this ac-
count need hardly be cad .
The Medhurste were not at all inclined to
acquiesce in his avoidance of their society,
and persistently encouraged him to seek it.
Mr. Medhurst positively seemed by compar-
ison with him a confident, assured man of
the world, a rare thing with him, and con-
sequently was able to make advances and
hold out the hand of good -fellowship to
draw him on, while his own naturally some-
what retiring disposition gaie him an in-
sight into the other's feelings, which taught
him to avoid startling him or evoking
hie nervous ahrinking from social intercoule:C.
Against such mingled tact and cordiality
Mr. Tyndall could not remain proof, and
after a time he was more at home at The
Maplee than he could believe possible with
such new acquaintancee. Never in his life
Pitcher's Castoria.
before had he been on such intimate terms
with any lady, not even of his own family,
sfobrsehrge. had been left an orphan without
- At first he had been still more eby than
%usual with Ellen and Fanny Medhurst, but
their natural unaffected simplicity was well
calculated- to set anyone at ease in their
presence, and had its effect upon him,
though there still remained a trace of his un-
emy, di dent manner while he was in their
meaty.
As montiss went by it was no longer
necessary to put an absolute pressure on
him to get him to The Maples, and he be-
came a frequent visitor there of his own so -
cord. They were well pleased at this, for
they all liked him enough to feel glad that
he could appreciate them in return. That
be did so was very evident; Mr. Medhurst's
refined, cultivated mind, Ellen's sweet
thoughtfulness, and deep, earnest, womanly
nature, could not fail to have a charm for
such a man. And for Fanny, with her
childlike, innocent gaiety he seemed to have
an equal liking; even their playful jests at
his expense, and the little tricks she son..e-
times played him, never aroused his shy-
ness it Was so evidently the sportiveness of
a lighthearted girl, venturing on a liberty
becomes they were too good friends for any
misunderstanding, that he could not feel
hurt however sensitive, and indeed he seem-
ed more at his ease with her than with any-
one beside.
When Mr. Tyndall came to be a constant
guest at The Maples, his parishioners could
not shut their eyes to the phenomenon, aid
there were many discussions on the subject
in the neighborhood. There was naturally
one interpretation that occurred to every -
'one's mind to account for this' great change
in his habits, and the rumor went round
that the parson was looking for a wife;
there was less unanimity in fixing upon the
lady. Some of the gossips even ventured on
a sly allusion to the subject in the presence
of the ladies from The Maplee.
The only symptom he showed of the ten
der passion imputed to him was a renewed
access of shyness; yet the neighbors were
right. Love had entered his heart and
had brought back all his old diffidence and
self-depreoiation. What was he that he
should aspire to such a treasure as a wo-
man's first, pure love? How could he, a
shy, uncouth bookworm, hope to awaken an
answeriqg emotion in one so different, so
superior to himself ? So he argued with
perverse self -torture, but for all that he
nursed his love as a precious thing, though
it would cost him ao dear; he let the sweet
poison, as he thought it, circulate in his
veins till it pervaded all his being. Yet he
did not suffer a word or a look to betray his
secret; he even took pains so show equal
attention to both sisters that no one might
suspect how mull more one was to him than
the other. His love was to him a sacred
thing, to be *brined deep In his , heart and
profaned by no curious gaze.
One evening he was sitting with them in
the garden, having been more absent and
awkward in manner than usual, and Fanny,
in a gay, frolicsome mood, began to plague
him, saying she would tease him out of his
num:liability. As he began to smile at her
chatter, she Bald:
"Now you have come down from the
clouds I will ask you a question. Mrs.
Blackett told me this afternoon she was
sure you came here for one of us, and she
wanted to know which it was, but I could
not tell her, as I did not know myself.
Which is itT"
Her sister's exclamation of "Oh, Fanny !"
in a tone of reprosob, made her blush till
her face was orimson,for in her gay thought-
lessness she had hardly seen the full mean-
ing of her worda till then; and she was
utterly abashed. Mr, Tyndall's confusion
was at least as great; the embarrassment
natural to any man in such a position, his
instinctive feeling that his love was a thing
to keep secret, and his old morbid shyness
now in full force, combined to make a tur-
moil in hi. mind, Herdly knowing what be
did he stammered out, " For you, of
course."
Mr. Medhurst, who bad only laughed at
Fenny's question, for all she did was right
in his eyes, now exclaimed. "1. it so, Tyn-
dall? If my foolish child there is willing
you need have no fears about my consent.
What do you say, Fanny ?"
She had run to her father when he began
to speak, and had hid her glowing faoe on
his shoulder, so now her reply was not
heard, for she was able to whisper it in hia
ear.
Ite nature, however, was unmistakable,
for Mr. Medhurst placed her hand in Mr.
Tyndell's.
" I know I give her into good hands," he
said, "and you will not take her far away,
which I own weighs with me. It would
have been a sad trial for me to part with
her altogether,"
As if in a stupor Mr. Tyndall spoke no
word, but stooping he pressed his lips to her
hand; then as she nestled to his side with a
bright look of loving confidence, he kissed
ber brow and lips. They were all too much
occupied to see that Ellen, pressing her
hand to her heart,rome slowly and left them.
Nor did they miss her for a time, for Mr.
Medhurst began speaking of his own court-
shipjand early married days with Fanny's
mother, and became quite engrossed in his
theme, while the newly -engaged couple sit-
ting together on the sofa, with her hand
still in his, seemed contented with each
other's presence. Fanny's content, at all
events, was obvious'and if her promised
husband appeared to be in a dream, ehe was
satisfied that it was of her.
It was not till Mr. Tyndall had risen to
take leave thet Ellen re -appeared.
"Why, Ellen where have you been all
this time ?" asked Fanny.
"My head aches badly, so I went to my
own room," she replied, " but I could not
let my new brother leave without a word of
welcome."
Approaching him she offered, her cheek to
Id. caress, as a sister might Wee done, He
blushed painfully as he touched it lightly
with his lips. Fanny nityly smiled at this ;-
" poor Robert," as she already called him
in her thoughts, was so shy that he might
well show hie bashfulness on such an
occasion; but as she glanced from his face
to her sister's the contrast struck her
forcibly.
"How pale and ill you look, Ellen," she
exclaimed. "Your headache must be very
bad, I am sure. So we will go to bed at
once; the rest will do yougood."
They certainly went up to Ellen's room as
she proposed, hue going to bed at once was
quite another matter.
As soon as they were alone, Fenny twined
her arms lovingly round her sister as she
murmured, "Ob, Ellen, I am so happy."
The only answer was a silent but warm
caress.
"1 love him so dearly," continued Fanny.
"1 told you I should never care like that
for anyone I could not respect, and look up
to and lean upon, and I feel that I can upon
him. He is so g ood and clever, so true and
earliest and noble -hearted, I fear that I
am not worthy of him; what can he find to
lovo in a giddy, thoughtless girl like me?
Oh, Ellen, do you think he really loves
me ?"
"flow can you doubt it, dear child; is he
not going to take you for his wife ?" answer-
ed Ellen in a low tone.
"1 have hoped he was growing fond of
me," eaid Fanny, "but even now I can
harly realize it. Oh, what could have be
witched me to make me ask him that? I
spoke without refleoting, but I em afraid
he must think me so bold and unmaidenly,"
"He knows you apoke in innocence of
heart, and he is not one to cherish hard
thoughts, especially of her he loves," whis-
pered Ellen, as she hung over her sister.

"And you like him too, do yonnot, Ellen?
I could not beer to think you were not fond
of my husband," murmured Fanny, blushing
rosily, as she gave him the titleifor the first
time.
"Yes, I shall soon learn to look upon him
as a brother," replied Ellen, speaking the
words with difficulty and gasping for breath.
"But I cannot bear any more i talking 10 -
night; you must really let me g to bed."
"Oh, how selfish I have been,,' exclaimed
Fanny, remorsefully. " In my appiness I
quite forgot what you were a ffering. I
will not say another word. ood-night,
Ellen."
Her sister strained her ini, her arms.
"Good -night, Fanny," she said, "1 hope
you will both be very happy. il God bless
you,
tny darling." I
As soon as Fanny had left the oom Ellen
fastened the door, and throwing erself on
her bed, gave way to the agon she had
kept pent up in her heart till the . She lay
there writhing with pain ani, hame. It
was very bitter to know she love in vain,
but still more galling was the tho ght that
she had given her affection unss ught and
unvalued,
"Blind
fool that I was," she • urmured,
"how could I hope he would thi k of me,
when there was one so fair and weet and
good ever by my side? My pre umptuous
conceit hes undone me, for if I had not
weakly flattered myself that be 'ared for
me, I should never have fallen eo ow as to
love the promised husband of ano her."
She was lowered in her own eye., and she
could find no comfort. In vain he went
baok mentally through the past, ndeavor-
ing to find excuse for her delusion. She had
thought that his quiet unobtrusi e liking
for herself, and still timid affe tion was
growing, and that his more openl shown
partiality for Fanny was the mere friendly
feeling and admiration that was du to one'
so charming; but now she accuse herself
of pitiful vanity for having so deo ived her-
self.
" It was such a cruelly sudden, nexpect-
ed blow," ahe murmured to here1f, and a
flood of tears came to bar relief. 1
For a time her feelings overpowered her,
but she etrugglod hard to gain control over
them, and at length she bre:Arne more calm.
She would not give way to this weak folly,
she said to herself ; she mit learn to look
upon their marriage with resign tion at
least, if she could not with pleasu e. Not
for worlds would she have had ither of
them guess what she bit; if they knew all
she would feel ready to die with shame.
Not only this, but she must in some de-
gree recover her self-respect, her love for
the promised husband of another, and that
other her sister, must be crushed at what-
ever cost to he:self. She forced her
thoughts to dwell upon their happiness, till
she felt that she could sincerely pray that
they might find It in their union ; th n she
p in the self -conquest on
Eir
which
became more easy in mind, for she h d gain-
ed ooe steshe was resolved. 1 1
While she was engaged in this mental
struggle one of those with wbon her
thoughts were busy was almost si ilarly
employed. Mr. Tyndall left the hou e in a
kind of stupor, Quailed by contending emo-
tions, which till then he had been ob ged to
conceal, But when he was fairly dut of
their presence he was able to coil et his
scattered thoughts.
How bitterly he regretted now the i1 inde-
cision and want of nerve that had led him
to give that fatal answer. How Nisei was
the position iuto which he had pl nged
himself by his folly and weakness. I1e was
the declared lover of one he looked upon
merely as a charming child, while he had
denied his affection for her who was all in
all to him.
He must explain and confees all the next
day; he oould not let things remain as they
were; he felt himself to be a hypocrite and
imposter until this error of his own aus-
ing was cleared up. It was a task rom
which he shrank ; he could not bearvan
the idea of laying bare hie miserable ;11y
to them and meeting their looke of corn
and wonder and disappointment; b t he
must nerve himself to do it or he woul4 be
tied for life to one he. did not love.
But suddenly his train of tho ght
changed. Of what use would it be to him
to recover his freedom if Ellen did not love
him? He had deceived himself, he sai , in
imagining that he had been gaining an in-
tereat in her heart; it was too clear th t he
was utterly indifferent to her. Had she
not welcomed him as a brother -bad she not
even offered him a slitter's kies ? She cCuld
not have done this if her liking for himthad
one trace of the passionate warmth of his
love for her; it was proof, be argued, hat
she regarded him with the utmost cold est
He little thought that there had been the
bitterness of death for Ellen in that o lm,
measured caress; that in her despair she
had nerved herself for this token of els erly
affection, to conceal the feelings that ere
really burning in her breast, With i tui-
tive foresight ebe had known the arguinent
shheewmonulidt ddirtaswe mirbole.mher act, and at any loost
Now another consideration presented it-
self to his mind. Fanny loved; had public-
ly avowed her love for Mm, in return, as
she thought, for hie own affection. Ceuld
he cause her the shame and 1 dis&ppointtient
of learning the truth? could he bear to ook
upon the suffering he would bring, not nly
to her, but to her friends? It was he vho
had placed her as well as himself in thls
