CHAPTER XLIV.
T ere -, came a certain afternoon during
this • ot summer when Phyllis Mar atdale,
restl ss and dissatisfied, wandered out into
s
the unrry garden of the Priory by erself.
She • ad been cross and out of sortsi ever
eine she got up, , but the family at the
Prio y were so unhappy about -John that
-they paid very little attention to her. It
*as more than a week—it was ten days
sine John had disappeared. Duting all
that time everything that could poseibly be
don to lead to his discovery,had beee done.
Nan y was with Mies Prettyman in London
—M es' Prettyman was still very 01, and
Phy lis found the time hang heavy ton her
ban s at the Priory. Mrs. Smith was in
bed prostrated from the terrible nxiety.
The poor farmer's hair had grewn almost
whi e during these dreadful ten day. Pol-
ly, gnes, and Phcebe were too restl es and
mise able to pay much attention to hyllia's
man whims. In their heart of hea te they
thought she must have very little feeling.
The were tired. of her beauty, and he feet
of hr haying a fortune, whieh wou d have
wei bed much with other people, had no
effec wh tever on them. • ,

she oul. do what she could to &mese her-
self n ot er directions. A box of her beau-

P yllis laughed.

atta hment an the part of Lords As tead.
His ountry costume suited him : far etter
tha his conventional London clothes.
Phy lis found it refreehing to barnacle love
to 9 adn. She, had no intention of accepting
this new suitor, but the love -making was
plea ant. The intense dulness of the last
ten ays formed a favorable background to
Lor Ashteadas suit,. Of course she was en-
gage 1 to John, but John was far away --
,John was lost.
Ashtead, noticing the many entotions

Phyllis did not notice him. She was too
m (
much absorbed in h r own thoughts. The.
rig rolled out of sigh, and Aslatead renewed
era protestations of aFir action.
"You have been trated shamefully," he
said. "It is all non ense about Smith hav-
ing been hurt or any hing of that sort. The
man has run away fr m you, that is the on-
ly solution of,the dif 'culty."
No, no," said Phyllis, "that is not like
John." But her heart, already chageined
at his absence, felt now very sore' and
angry.
"And here come Mrs. Vincent and Miss
Daisy," pursued Ashtead. .
Phyllis raised he head and saw two
1
ladies, becomingly clSessed for the cointry,
twalking down the lathe.
1 Daisy ran forward and took her cousin's

her affectionately on the shoulder.

"My dear, scarcely likely, but granted
that be is, do you inaend to mourn for him
at the Priory all the rest of your days ?"
" Oh, don't," said; Phyllis.
She felt torn in i many directions. She
hated her aunt, but ahe also hated the dull-
ness of the Priory. At this instant she felt
quite grateful to Iford_ Ashtead when he
came up and took h r hand, and said in a

"Capital !" said Mrs. Vincent. " What

have compromised yourself sorely. If you

• " You will marry lire, won't you ?" plead-
ed the young man. 1
"Ob, I cannot Beni --bow you all worry

Mrs. Vincent's restreithing hand.
" Do—do, say you i will marry me," per-
sisted Lord Ashtead.!
"I can say nothing at pre3ent."
"You can come with me to • the inn,"
said Mrs. Vincent. I

Lord Asheead bowed took if hi hat; and
the next moment, poorPhyili , against her
will, and with a heart sore as sore could be,
found herself walkine ack ;to the fiery in
company with Mrs. Vincent.
During the walk th t goo lady, as she
expressed it, took car to ba mer the nail
home. Phyllis was no particularly coevals
tional in any of her ideas, b t she had a
natural horror of compromising herself with
a censorious world. 4 reedit,, had she be-
come Smith's wife, that worl. would epeed,
ily have forgiven one abyoun , AO beauti-
ful, and so rich, I but Mrs. Vincent as-
sured Phyllis that she had b ber ovsn ac-

Now while in town hyllis ad hated, so-
ciety, but with her fli pant, ekle nature,
the mom :tit s e thougl t she might never
enjoy its fats inations agaite she begets to
wish for it. er posit on was really a pain-
ful one, and Smith' mys rious absence
compliea ed matters a ood d al.
Mrs.'Vincent havin brought her niece
to a ,Sonclition of complet abasement,
then began to sho' her an open door of fp-
lease. . .
"There is noth ng else to do," she aid
"you must aim ly marry Lord Ash ad.
He is devoted tts ou. He is a man, as you
know, of the highest birth. As Lady Ash -
teed, and as t e future Marchioness of
Wendoven, socie y will more than forgive
on—sit will recei e you with open arms.
You and he must go abroad for a bit. Next
season what atrilumph will be yours, my
beautiful Phyllil! Oh, I see the young
Lady Ashtead—tie most beautiful woman
in London, the.belle of society."
These sort of flatteries were very soothing
to Phyllis altlio gh she did not utter a
word, or commit eraelf in any way.
Mcs: Vincent kw, however, by the ex-
pression in her eyes, by her very step, that
her words were t king effect.
"And now, iay love," she said, when
they reached the ,white gat s of the Priory,
" you shall go straight to our frienda and
tell them that under the ci cumstanoese un-
til Mr. Smith puts in an ppearancde you
think it best to ttay with me. Come, my
dear, I will wait itor you ere. You need

those Smith's ma e themse Yea disagreeeble,
Daisy or 1 will come and p ok your things,
and in -any case we will sen• a cab from the
Crown to fetch them phis e ening. ,
Phyllis sornew -at sinwilli gly returned to
the house.
Now whether. he woul have acted on
Mrs. Vincent's su ge tion, • nd whether the
sequel of this sto w uld ave turned out
as it did, under th se ei cumstances is a
problem which ea no be so ved.
When she ent red the • ()use, however,
she found Mr. mi h sea •d in his parlor
talking in an ang y one o Polly, whose
eyes were red as i sh had •een crying.
. As soon as the fa mer aught sight of
Phyllis he calle o t to her in a stern
voice :—
" Come in, alio Ph llis artindale ; come
in," he said.
Phyllis turned ale when sae saw bis agi-
tation, and as she not ced that Polly's eyes
were red as if sh ha been crying, she in-
stantly jumped t the conclusion that there
had come some news f John, and that pro -
ably be was dead,
,Her heart sin te er then, she turned
mile herself, and xclaim d anxiously, ,
"Oh, have you had n ws at last? Tell
me—do tell me do 't keep me in sus-
pense."
"News, indeed," said the farmer.' "Yes,
Polly, I will ejJieak. uch you care for
news, Miss Marti dale, at is if you mean
news of my poor on. Y u are engaged[ to
him, and had not ing ha pened no the poer
fellow, you would have been his wife by
now. He brought you ere and put you
into the charge of my wi e and myself, and
proud we were to do any hing for you, and
a hearty weloome we ga es you, although
you were not one f us a• d never could be."
" Net one of you," repeated Phyllis,
proudly, "What o you ean ? You speak
as if, as if I were eneat• you ?" s
" Oh, father, d n't U' e' claimed Polly.
"Yes, I , will, Polly. I will give that
fashionablaaoun miss it hit of my mind.
There is our boy, omethi i g has happened
Io bim, and God nows i we will ever See

earts, and there' me, , hy, I don't know
myself, I miss th lad 90 sorely. You are
not one of us, all s. You may be hand-
some. I don't go for to denyit, and you
may be thought a lot of in London. But
down here among't honest 'folks like us,
who live true, an whe act true, it seems to
me you have ne ther part nor lot. You
think that we wil all ow down to you be-
cause you are ric , an you have got a bit
of a pretty face, but theta not us. You
may think yourse f above as in station, but
it strikes me we re a good bit above you in
heart and feeling, and in truth.
"And now, mi s, I want to ask you a
question, and I have a right to have an
answer. Who wa that young man I caught
yon flirting with n the lane? What is his
name, and what as he got to dosevith you?
You are betrothe to my John, and you
have got to anew r my question) this mo-
ment too."
Tne farmer's tone was so angry that
Phyllia's high s irit could not brook it.
Had he been less evere in his manner she
might have cow d before him. Now she
tossed her bead, tind said with spirit,
"If John were here, I should tell him.
But I refuse tip be answerable to you for my
cenduct" , She wars about Ito rush from the
room, when ommetion in the passage
caused everyl o e to -tu n round, and the
next instant Pgns rao astily in with, a
telegram in he h nd. ,-
, " Addreesed tol me,"1 eh , exclaimed. "1
have opened it It is frier _Nancy, our dear
Nancy. John is,safe. Oh, Phyllis, aren't
you glad? Ar n!t you mo e than; glad?"
i
Phyllis, how yea angry, disturbed, feel-
ing sore throu h and throersh, did -not even
pretend to gla nests at this moment. She
acarcely looked t the telegram—she made
no inquiries wi h regard toits contents, and
pushing past A es left the room.
"There's a • ice lass for my son to
marry," exclai ed the father. "Blow me
tight, if I allow t. I'll move heaven and
earth to atop ib i I won't have my 'John
rendered miserable for life with a heertless
hussy like that. But what does the tele-
gram say, Agnes, my girl, and how are we
best to break the news to the mother ?"

Polly Smith was a girl whom a little tact,

Mrs. -Vincent put in an appearance he was
quite positive that she would have yielded

Why Mrs. Vincent allowed her prey tO

CHAPTER XLV.
This good lady stood for some little time

She would sooner have gone straight int a
bee -hive than allow herself to encounter he
irate farmer and his wife. It is a fact tlpat
there tare some people in the world who x-
ercised a wholesome awe even over Mra.
Vinceot, and the Smiths, plebeiari as she
coneidered them, were those people.
Sha waited and waited, and as th re was

the best thitig she could do was o walk

wey, however, to the Crown she was
amazed to see her daughter coming to meet
her,, accompanied by a middle -age , gray-
haired gentleman.
"Who in the world has the girl ob With
her now ?" muttered Mrs. Vincent ;to her-
self. = "No, it is not Mr. Daintre That
person is old, and I—can I believe hy eyes
—it is Mr. Marshall. Now what can be
up?" I
"
How do you do ?" said that gentleman,
taking his hat off. "1 have eeme to see
you me a matter of grave importance. It is
so important that I could not even wait for
your return to town, but took the oppor-
tunity to follow you down here. Perhaps,
Mrs. Vincent, you will permit me te have a
private interview."
"Go back to the inn, Daisy," said Mrs.
Vincent. She felt herself turnip white,
and all manner of unpleasantness ith re•
gard to duns, writs, and even exec times on
her'furniture, darted through h r brain.
She bad very little idea, however, of the
real import of the lawyer's visit.
