TAMER TAMED.
CHAPTER I.
The old gray manor house had nestled
'down to dreamless slumber in the hollow of
the hills ; the rooks in the tall elms behind
it had at last settled into silence. But the
young mistress -of the manor still flitted to
and fro on the terrace, slowly and with soft
footfall, never hastening, never pausing
not conscious that the light had faded an
the dew was falling. There was light enough
for the dreaming of such dreams as hers,
enough of'the warmth of hope and young
Iife in her heart to resist,a far. graver chill
than any that was to be feared from the
tepid air of the summer night.
Presently a lattice creaked on its hinges,
and a voice from the inany-casewented west
window asked-
" Clare, are you out there still ? Pray,
come in, my clear -you will take cold; and
there is a letter for you."
"A letter !-from Allan ?" •
" No ; from Mr. Stanner."
Having heard this Miss Watermeyr seem-
ed in no haste to obey the summons. For
some minutes she leant =over the terrace bal-
ustrade, breathing the perfume which rose
like incense from the great bed of valley
lilies under the wall.!
In the porch she paused again -the honey --
suckles seemed so peculiarly, so bewildering-
ly:sweet to -night, as if reminding her of
past joy, and prophesying to her of joy to
be. So it appeared at first ; but she paused
too long, till her heart seemed suddenly to
sink within her.
Perhaps some unrecognized instinct warn-
ed her that, passing into the house to -night,
she passed over one of those boundary -lines
of life which we cross unconsciously, and
only perceive when we look back upon them
from a distance.
"You are shutting out the twilight early,
are you not, auntie ?" she asked, entering
the drawing -room, and finding that the
lamp had been brought in, and that a ser -
ant was letting fall the curtains.
"Auntie," -a placid -looking old lady,
rested with somewhat of the quaint grav-
ity of old ladies of olden time, which made
er look peculiarly in ` keeping with the
rge, low, oak -wainscoted and oak-raftered
om-smiled.
" Your thoughts must have been pleasant
-night, Clare ; it is very late ; for the last
tn.I have not been able to see to do even
y coarse knitting."
"My thoughts have been pleasant,
rintie," said lare, softly, seating herself,
the servant left the room, on a low stool
the olcl lady's feet. " I have been think -
g of Allan -of how sweet it will be to
e him home again at last. I have been
ry happy with only you, auntie, but still
o feel lonely sometimes, and it is so. long
t he has been away."
` Very long, my dear ; I hope that you
ay never be, separated again -never left
h 'only auntie' any more."
` I do not knew that I shall wish that."
` Clare's color had risen ; she spoke
rally as .she added, " I do not wish any -
ng to be considered as settled ; we were
young then."
re. Andrews was silent for some time ;
en she spoke, it was with some consider -
show of embarrassment.

" I am not apt to- croak, dear Clare, or to
be a bird of ill -omen, out I feel as if I ought
to warn you that you must not expect all
will go smoothly ; I mean I would have you
prepared to endure some things that will
seem hard at first -very hard, if you meet
them in a proud spirit. You have been
good and gentle to me always ; stiIl, my
dear, you are too proud ; you have a more
obstinate will than is beautiful in a woman,
or consistent with a woman's happiness. I
wish to warn you against it, -to put you on
your guard. A woman must learn to sub-
mit before she can be what she should be -
before she can be happy." -
" Dear auntie, what- is all this about ?
What have I done ? What am Ioin to be
done to ? Will Allan come home tyrant ?
Am I to learn to submit to his will ? He
used to have no will but mine. In spite of
her light tone, Clare's heart sank:
" Your father was a tyrant, my dear."
Mrs. Andrews spoke in -a suppressed voice,
glancing round the room, as if conscious of
the treasonableness of her words. " He did
not approve of any amount of liberty for
women ; he was nay poor sister's jailer
rather than her husband ; his jealousy dur-
ing the last years of her life, which were the
last of his, too, amoii)Nted to something bor-
derisg on insanity. 1 have always thought
it unlikely that, witlf his opinion of women,
he should have left ypu free, and an heiress;
and, my dear, you are of age to -morrow."
Clare took the letter from where it had
been lying on the table disregarded till
now. _ -

of your position. I would willingly have
had it so ; but I am not a free agent."
Clare was- looking out again -down the
sunny lawn to the river -all her color had
faded now. Mr. Stanner arose. The girl's
fair face looked so stony that he felt as if to
address her would have been like addressing
a statue.
She did not move or speak, and he left her
to her own thoughts -not sorry to escape
from her near neighborhood, for the atmos-
phere around her seemed dangerous. It
took Clare some time even to realise her
position.
She loved the old house ; she loved every
lawn, shrubbery, every field, tree, dell, and
dingle of the manor ; she loved it as the
kingdom where she reigned supreme -where
she had believed she should always reign.
She loved it as the only home she had ever
known -as the place where she .had been
born where her mother had lived and died.
If a selfish love, it was still a more passion-
ate love than any other she had known.
She believed that she had loved Allan, not
perhaps with the " love of nien and women
when they love the best," but with a love
that with her had passed for that love. In
all her dreams regarding her future he play-
ed a part, a secondary part -a Prince -con-
sort's part, perhaps. She was the Queen,.
the lady of the manor ; he her first retainer,
her serviceable and chivalrous knight -one
whom she delighted to honor, whom she en
riched with her favors -and now-"
The sunshine had left the lawn, the twi-
light had faded from it before Clare moved ;
when she did it was to shut herself into her
own room, not to appear again that night.
Mrs. Andrews could not gain admission ;
Clare, from within, would only say, " Not
to -night, auntie ; I cannot bear to be spoken
to to -night."
CHAPTER I.I.
Clare woke next morning with a sense of
something impending ; she did not know
what she dreaded,', but a gloom was over
everything, a weight upon_herusually light,
elastic spirits.
Mr. Stanner, who lived at no great dis-
tance, arrived early ; but he seemed rather
to shun than to seek an . opportunity for a
tete-a-tete with Clare ; being both kind-
hearted and timid, he was at once fond of
his ward and afraid of her. eon her part she
did not return his affection, and held him
more in contempt than in awe.
She had always been able to wind him
around her little finger in such unimportant
matters as there had been . question of be-.
tween them, and she was not herself enough
truly, womanly to feel, nor had she experi-
ence enough in life to know, that a gentle -
hearted man, easily swayed by a woman's
wish or will in trifles, may yet show himself
inflexible when need is. Mr. Stanner was,
perhaps, hardly able to teach Clare this les-
son -yet it was a lesson it. would be well
that she should learn.
It was Clare who at last broke the silence,
which she felt to be ominous and oppressive,
saying after dinner, when Mr. Stanner had
joined her and Mrs. Andrews in the draw-
ing -room,-
" If you have business to talk to me
about, shall we go into the library now,
while Mrs. Andrews takes her nap ?"
" If you please, but there is really no
hurry."
Clare stood expectant, so Mr. Stanner had
no alternative but to rise from the soft
depths of a luxurious chair into which he
had just sunk with a sigh of content, and
follow her from the room.
It° is very warm this afternoon -very
warm, upon my word."
Thus Mr. Stanner broke the silence which
had ensued when he and Clare were seated ;
he drew out his handkerchief, passed it
across obis forehead, and glanced furtively at
his fair ward- as he repeated his assertion.
" I feel it is something unpleasant that
you have to tell me," Clare said.- " You
need not be afraid to speak ; no -'doubt I
shall be able to bear what you may have to
communicate.".
" ` Unpleasant !' oh, by no means -at
least, not necessarily so. `Afraid to speak!' A few days after her conversation with

" If you begin to pay me compliments,: I
shall be quite sure that something disagree-
able is to follow then."
" To come to the point at once, then :
You are aware that Mr. Allan Watermeyr,
your father's half -brother's son, whom, for
brevity, we shall call your cousin, is expect-
ed home from abroecl in a few days ?"
CHAPTER
Neither to Mr. Stanner nor to Mrs. An-
drews diel Clare speak on the subject that
of course engrossed her thoughts. She kept
much apart ; unwonted whiteness on her
cheeks, and dark circles that told of sleep-
less nights, surrounding her eyes. -
" As my cousin has ' himself written to
me to this effect, I certainly am aware
of it."
Clare's color had risen at the first mention
of her cousin's name ; but Mr. ,Stanner stu-
diously avoided looking at her. As he con-
tinued, he became more and more complete-
ly absorbed in the contemplation of some
speck or flaw on one of his carefully tended
finger nails.
" Every step I take in this matter I am
obliged to take without exercising my own
judgment. Every step has been planned for
me. Your father left me the most minute
directions ; compliance with some of his in-
structions is a painful duty. Unhappily
your father believed that he had cause to
entertain but a low opinion of your sex.
Froin his point of view, his conduct was
perhaps right and wise ; from other points
of view, I do not hesitate to say that it
seems to fine foolish --nay, extravagant and
mischievous in the extreme. But, my dear
young lady, much, if not everything, rests
with yourself; if you can subdue your pride
and control your somewhat high temper, let
events -take the course they would easily
and naturally have taken had you, as I
couldhave desired, remained in ignorance of
what I am compelled to communicate to
you ; if you will adopt this womanly and
becoming line of conduct, all will yet go
well." -
" DEAREST CLARE, -I hope to follow this
letter in a few hours. How much is con-
tained in those poor words ! With me I
shall venture to bring my dear old friend,
John Smith, trusting that for his own sake,
he may be welcome -for mine, not other-
wise. Now, in this haste, I dare not allow
myself to say more than that I am yours,
ALLAN WATERMEYR."
Having read this Clare took no more heed
of 'it, though she had been wont to keep and
garner up carefully every line her cousin
wrote to her. Mrs. Andrews replaced it in
its cover, and laid it beside Clare's plate ;
but Clare left the breakfast table without
again looking at or touching it. •
" Which rooms shall 1 give your cousin
and his friend !" Mrs. Andrews asked, fol-
lowing Clare into the conservatory. This
conservatory opened from the breakfast -
room ; through it you • could reach Clare's
special retreat, her favorite sitting -room, or
could step out upon the terrace.
It was a pretty place ; its many light and
graceful pillars, garlanded with blossoming
creepers, gave it a fairy-like look; it had
been built at Clare's wish from a plan Allan
had drawn for her, Filling up a recess in
the south front of the house, it was doubt-
less an incongruous acl'dition to the gray and
grave solidity of the original architecture ;
yet very few people would have wished it
away.
" I have no authority in this house. Give
them what rooms you please," was Clare's
sullen answer.
" That is foolish, my dear. For twelve
months yet to come you are mistress here.
It is foolish to say you have no authority."
" Perhaps for womanly and becoming

no difference to me. I will find a home
somewhere else. I will leave this place at
once ; I will not meet him."
" If you will bear in mind your
father's lamentable and mistaken views, you
will be less unprepared for my communica-
tion. It was your father's desire, that when

no use talking, auntie, preaching meekness
and patience -no use, no use."
Still auntie's preaching had been of some
use ; the outbreak had done Clare good.
She did not submit, but submitted to wait
-to meet her cousin, and mature her plans.
It was late in the day when the travellers
arrived. Clare was the first to hear car-
riage -wheels upon the drive that swept up
to the west wing of the house ; she sat still,
and gave no sign ; but presently her guardi-
an's duller ears were aware of this same
sound. He rose and offered one arm to
Clare, one to Mrs. Andrews, saying-.
" We shall be just in time to receive Mr.
Watermeyr at the hall door."
Clare had not meant to receive Mr. Wa-
termeyr at the hall door -had not meant to
go one step to meet him ; she had ngade up
her mind to await him where she was. Mr.
Stanner waited before her ; she hesitated a
moment, and then yielded.
Mr. Watermeyr was just springing up the
steps. Mr. Stanner drew Clare forward to
meet him, at the same time removing her
hand from his own arm. Clare offered it to
her cousin mechanically. Clasping it in both
his, Mr. Watermeyr bent his head towards
her.
•` Clare drew back haughtily. " We are
not children now," she said.
As she saw the handsome and sensitive
face, which had looked so happy, eager, and
loving, cloud over, she felt a triumphant
sense of power, and was almost generous
enough to regret the having used it. Gent-
ler words -words of an, at least, ordinarily
kind welcome -were on her lips, when she
met the glance of a pair of keen eyes -the
eyes of Mr. Watermeyr's friend, who stood
behind him (as Clare thought), like Mephis-
topheles -behind a young and fair -faced
Faust -fixed on her with an uncompromis-
ing, it seemed to her hostile, scrutiny.
Mr. Stanner's cordial greeting made the
coldness of Clare's more conspicuous. She
felt this, -felt herself in the wrong -assured
herself it was that man's fault. Her man-
ner, when Mr. Smith was presented to her,
was certainly not conciliatory,
