It was a cruel letter, even he its pretend- • ed kiednes in8 'e could only e bear a sen- tence at a tine, and every sentence was like a stone flu g at her affections I and self-re- spect. Yet, in spite of all, he wept pas- sionately o Ter her slam love and her faith- less lover. All t4rrough the long night she could reali e nothing but that he had left her foreve . AS morning dawned, she fell asleep, and lay Senseless and dreemleSe un- til the noon hour. In the moment of wak- ing, she endured it all over again. But the necessity for action was imperative, and she went at once to a lawyer. . She knew hir+nly as a Mr. Nugent, the son of an Independent minister, Who had once been asseciated with her hither, but he proved to be the 'Ivery friend he needed. He heard her w Ole story without blame, for he understoo why and how she had been so easily d ceived in her marriage. She had never se n an Episcopal ' wedding, - and she had ofte seen the simple rite of her father's chur h—a few words Of exhor- tation and promi e, and the gift of a hring. For the same Tea on •the lack of priestly vestments did no strike her. Her father had worn none. And when Mr. Nugent asked her if no ce; tificate had been, signed,' she answered: "Certainly. . There was a paper about our marriage, Which Lord More th, the priest, the wanes es and Imyself signed. Lord Morpeth ut it in hs pocket, pocket, and I have not thought of it since," , 1o! She had trusted everything t� love, and love had foreinken her. I Her friend was very honest. He pointed out the complete weakness of her cesa, She might,1 indeed, unish Lord Morpeth for his baseness. Sile might Make hinz pay her money: He did iot think, she 1iid other redress. And as for the nhild, it w s likely any court would onsider its welf re best assured by the ca e of, the father. ¶ro move in the matter wonld be to gain n toriety, and nothing elwould be much a noyed by such netoriety, i; Lord Morpeth ; yet ae she might in this way punish him if she so Wished. But Catherine did: not wish to punish him. She still loved him, and his shame could not heal her shame. "It is my child I want," she a swered. * "I want to see her. I want to be n ar her ; to be sure that she is cared: for an4 kindly treated." "If the little girl has been taken to Mor- peth Court, I can find that m t," answered Mr. Nugent.' " nel if you ill be content with watching ov r your child and not over - particular as to o portuuities, I can arrange that much for y�u. You sh 11 hear from me in a week, perhaps less!' In three days she was sum oned to Mr. Nugent's office. ; "Your daughter," he said, "is now liv- ing at Morpeth Cdurt. Her father left the place yesterday. 1 I have- obtained a posi- tion for you in the house es seamstress. You must disguise yourself as well as you ! can." , "The nurse maY see and reeognize me."

IIei fore the hoer, °ether ne had given Adai a few drops oblopium, nd as soon as its itt- lluence was apparent, she lifted the child, dressed her in the gart ents she had prepare1, took off her white; fa se hair, threw rou d a . her a common-loeki g shawl„ and lifting Ada in her arms, we. t rapidly across the, fields to the maw y station. She knewl there was a train to onclon at nine O'cloc , ! and she arrived at th depot just in time o take a ticket for Mar et- orby, But she had no intention of getting off abi Alarket-Sorby, though she left her next move to the first favoring circumstance She found it not mor than twenty miles from Morpeth, at G lston village. There had been a fair et this place, and a great Crowd was at the can li, wayside station She slipped out of bhe train,' and passin through it, went inbo the ladies' waitin room. Here she staid until the night e press for Glasgow arrived, and on it she went northward. When she reached Gle gow it was early morning, a,nd she knew thalt the child would be missed. So she hastene to the Broomielaw, where she saw a steame just ready to sail for !Belfast. In half an hour she was on her *ay to Ireland, and the child was cheerfully taking its breakfast at her knee. Once in 1 Ireland, she made her way as rapidly as lpossible to Movillel and was fortunately in :time for the Anchor Line steamer Circassia. On the Atlantic she realized, her position.i Hitherto she had been I like ea person in a dream, moving with the same unconscious) ness and celerity ; and "also With the same, assurance and success. But sitting through the long days,, she had ' time to con-. sider her situation. Possibly Almund sus- pected her, and if so,; he might cable the! police in -New York to - watch for her ar-1 rival—but this was not 1 at all likely. He, did not know of her heather's existence, or if in some previous 'confidence she had: named him, it was as ' a wandering, black 1 sheep: poor, and, perhaps, not reputable. Her knowledge of hie newly acquired wealth, had only come to her with her , father's death. She had had no conversa- tion with Almund after it. From what she knew of her husband, he was more likely to , look for the child in some of the little' European. teems where I they had been so happy together; and where life was seclud- ed and economical to the Iasi point. However, if he suspected her course, and had taken means to arrest it, her brother was in New York. She would appeal to; him. He was rich, he. would defend her claim, and she had else it Conviction that the law of that new, free eOuntry, wou11! not under the circumstances, 'take her third' from her.

Her courage rose, she put doubt an fear beneath her feet, and walked to the gangway, Iook4ng , unflinchingly into . the faces she met. No one attempted to stay her, and she stepped into a cab and drove to a hotel, which she had heard recommend- ed on the ship. She did not send for :her brother at once; she knew too well the value of beauty adorned, and though she had bought some -clothing at Belfast, it was not suitable for the importer' e , of the first impression she wiehcd to niti e.'; In a cor,ple- of days, however, Ada was ; radiant in *bite embroideries and pink ribbons, and Catherine gravely handsome in that soft, rich black silk which fits all occasions. Then a messenger was dispatched with a ° note foe Mr. Thomas Raeburn and Cather- inc anxiously awaited the reaulte Befoiie she had begun to expect the answer her brother came himself with it. She heard his voice on the stairway, and knew 1 ; and when he entered the room she sa a younger likeness of her father.

As far as it was possible, ath- erme strove to fo get the past. In the ear- liest hours of thei meeting, sh had told her brother all her sad story; and in order to satisfy her natural anxiety, Ile had pro- cured, through a newspaper ag ncy, fites of English papers covering the p riod of her flight. From these she learne4 that Lord Morpeth had at flrst been prost ated by the loss of his ward, and that subs quently he had not only employed the beat detectives but also closed his house put 41T his mar- riage, and gone himself in searct of the ale -i ducted child. The papers na ed; ith a tone of surprise, Bulgaria .as hib first pointi. But Catherine understood why he had gone first to Bulgaria e arid this understanding included the less obvious one that he be4 lieved she had been the abductor, or else, why Bulgaria? And if he divined so ars he would also comprehend that she had been in his house for months, and had seen and understood his relationship to Miss Aller- ton. She gave him a year to go over the ground they had travelled together, sn,d then, per, haps, he would come to America. Buil three years had passed .in serene content) and there was no sign which indicated that her asylum had been discovered. Catherine grew young again, more nobly beauliffulL more self -composed, graceful and grampus. And Ada—Who was now a charming little girl six years old—Was beginning to rule her uncle with an absolute but lovin authority. If.Catherine had any longing o heartache from the past, she carefully kept it out of the present, and not one of he friends suspected the tragedy she had lived through. As she bore the name of Mrs. Almund, she was believed to be a widow, and society knows well that the loss of a husband is not always a calamity, so no one inquired into particulars that did not eon - cern them. In the summer, Mrs. Al mid's house parties at her brother's Newport resi- dence, were delightful enough to quiet Curi- osity, and in winter her dinners and kiances made the Raeburn home on Madison venue a resort to which many looked happily for- ward. Thus the time Went by, until rno e than three years had Passed, and it was again drawing near to Christmas. ' One bright, frosty morning, ' Mr. Raeburn, Caliherine and Ada went out together. They were n , an open carriage, wrapped in rich furs, nd were going down the avenue at a rapid pace. Catherine was talking eagerly, ;her face bright ,' with pleasure and rosy With health and fine spirits.
