Lane ° could not eat; he drank a .cup of tea, and then rode into Leeds for adViee. The play- eician he brought spoke of fever and of the man's gigantic strength, and . the struggle there might be between life' and death. ' Indeed, the patient Was already delirious, and difficult to manage. or many da,ys and nights Lancelot never left bisifother. In the land of the shadow of ledge, he kept close by his side. Sometirries the side man called him frantically in cries full of suffering, and Sometimes in the fearsoMe whispers of agonized terror. "I am here, father! Close by your side. I will not leave you!" In such assurances over and over, with exhausting monotonous repeti- tions, Lancelot passed matey days_ , of anguish and night e of anxious fear. For he had a highly sensitive nature, responsive to all unseen in-. fluences, and he could not escape either the one or the other. At midnight, when his mother wan- dered restlessly from room to room; muttering indistinguishable words, falling upon ;her knees in speechless anguish, and the dying Juan whis- pered awfully from far, far off, the weight of untold years was ' upon Lancelot—indistinct memories - no thought embodied, but weight and power—and an obscure sense of the soul looking backward and forward through endless vistas. Then the atmosphere of the ancient rooresiwas heavy with life that breathed not; with powers that touched him to the quick, in xnoods which he had no senses to explain; with flashes of il- lumination from the inner side of lift'; vague terrors of nameless things; vague conceptions of times before this life began, and he seemed to miss his foothold in it and to fall into dreamwhose unutterable deso- lation cast a shadow over him, even ie the 'summer sunshine. Steadily the strong man mantled to death. There was some wonder at the inefficiency of all remedies, and Doctor Thorpe questioned Lancelot sharply about the administration of them. ' "Whether your father be conscious or unconscious, they must be given him regularly," he skid. "They can- not be neglected." - "They are not neglected, sir. My mother watches the clock, and brings them at the very moment with her own hand." "Your mother brings them?" "Yes. This room is too dark to measure them with safety and abso- lute correctness. We were fearful they would be given in wrong quan- tities. Mother took them to the par- lor. No medicines ceuld be more carefully attended to." The doctor said no more; he sat down and waited. In a short time Martha Leigh entered, with a glass in her hand. He took it from her and put it to his lips. "Martha, this is plain water. Have you forgotten the drops? They are most important; they are life or death!" He gave the cup back, and she left the room without a word. "Look al Ler the medicine your- self," he said to Lancelot. "Your mother 4S troubled and weary, you ought not to rely on her." The word S appeared to be kind and considerate words, but they were ne- gatived by the tone in which they were uttered. A fear he durst not think of came into Lancelot's heart. He was stricken for a moment dumb and motionless. The doctor had left the room; he was standing at the top of the stairs, looking, with a sorrowful uncertainty, back into it, when Lancelot approached him. Then he began to descend the steps, but the miserable young man arrested hii n . "Doctor," he said, "you have Lnown "me all my life. What do you SEE T IME 'ace experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far differ- ent soil than others some crops need differ:- enthandling than others.

Recovering himself, he went- back to the sick -room, shielded the candle again, looked tenderly at the pros- trate figure lying with face upturned to heaven, white as clay, without sight, thought, or feeling, only not dead, and then, with passionate haste, he went to the parlor.

He thought it to be his mother's way of bearing sorrow. But, oh! if it should be re- morse, and not sorrow. He stood be- fore her, and she looked up and then down. "Mother, do you know that father is dying? He will not live another day. 0 mother! mother!" "I told thee he would die. He hed to die. It is his awn fault."

An awful stillness was in the hauee, a Oiliness pervad- ed by spiritualilife. Lancelot felt it press upon Wire on every side, and he resented the intresioo. With his open Bible in his blinds he stood by his father's head and recited over and over the verse e of the twenty-third Psalm, His low, clear voice, solemn and tetider, penetrated the heavy sha- dows of the. roam, and his mother, stealing witho t her ehoes to, the shut door, he fear no evil, me.' " Perhaps ale°. the comfortable words went with the departing soul, foreln those ineffable moments just before the dawn, Lancelot, looking into his father's face, saw a flash of parting intelligence, swift, and vivid as lightning, "Father!

Her eyes were fixed upon his father's empty chair. A sudden breeze Allow the white shade sharply against the window and brought into the room the scent of wall -flowers. The little blow startled and hurt Lancelot; he never more could endure the woody perfume. He lifted the medicine vials and went upstairs. There are. mo- ments when all men weep. They may do it in secret, but, none the less, they cover their faces, and their palms are wet with the bitter raine And when Lancelot sat down again in the gloom of his father's death- bed, and saw the white,. helpless fig- ure, and thought of the "peradven- ture" that might have been, he broke utterly down. Low sobs shook him froni head to feet; he buried his face in his hands and knelt down by the dear father. who, would know 1:tim no more in this world. All night he.kept his lonely watch, and all alone he helplessly witnessed the last struggle of the departing soul.

The house was still as a grave, the dawn was only breaking; he had a thought that his mother might be asleep in some upper room; but yet he went on to the, parlor.

She looked at him with an air of defiance he had no heart to gainsay. He sat down, and Martha I.eigh went at once to her dead hus- band. (Lancelot heard her naoving about, heard her opening drawers, herd her wide the sashes, heard her unlock a door little used, and go up the narrow stairs to the gar- ret; and then a quick, sick fear came into his heart.

Silo bathed her face and brushed out thh long, soft curls of her browo heir, and put fresh lace at her throat, and then she smiled hack at the lovely woman. the glass showed her.

So There was a. sweet credulousness about Miss Loi -da which was one of her greatest charnis. She found it so easy to believe in good, to hope for good, wad when disappointed, to be- ginehoping again. For ten years she had lived, not unhappily, ha such hope and disappointment, and then renewed hope. She knew nothing of that, fatal malady --the incapacity to be lia,ppy. It is true she had loved and she had suffered, and there had bee'n hours in which she felt nigh unto despair. But she had never been despondent; and there is this blessed difference between. the two conditions: In despair there is life and activity, an infinite in an infinite sorrow; but despondency iS only a fatal, somber dream on which the soul feeds se- cretly -a lotus leaf of languid, inert grief, not far from annihilation. - Every year about the autumn Loi - da went on a short journey. She was/never more than two or three days away, and yet it was an affair of great importance to her, and she pleasantly occupied many days in. her peeparatigns. No one spoke to her concerning it; the squire understood its object, and had long ago ceased to interfere; and Francesca, who had no restraints or reservations with her aunt on other subjects, felt a singular reluctance) to question her on this one. On a brightsunny morning in, Au- gust Miss ,Vyner came down ready for her journey. The squire served her with kind empressement, and Francesca hovered around her with thoughtful tare. They put her into the carriage with many l•iind worde and wishes, but without a single message or question. And neither father nor daughter made a remark to each other about the strange, lonely excursion. Francesca under- stood there was some secret she ought to respect. The squire had too noble a nature to discuss circum- stances sacredly personal to another. Through a very thinly populated untry Loidi rode swiftly until the no -hour. Then she carne to a way- side inn, where she changed horses and took some refreshment, After- ward, her journey was among high kills and across desolate moors until toward sunset, when she approached a small town,. It stood in, th.e midst of an agricultural district; a strange old place, quiet as ft dream.

His large hands were clasped across bis ' breast. His face was full of peace; his thick brown hair had not a strand of gray, and it curled thicklei all over the grandly domed bead. The wind that came out of the gare den and from off the wolds stirred it gently. upon the sunken temples. The room was as sweet and white as if it was a. bride and not a death- charaber. Lancelot held a long session in it. There he faced the inevitable results of his mother's crime. Whether she was morally responsible or not for it, the world would hardly take time to inquire. Its Verdict would be sharp and swift, and it was as like- ly as not that, in soine moment of irritation. she would dare its ut- gliMmer of light in one of the lower windows, and as she approached, an old man wearing knee -breeches made of corduroy, and a moleskin vest, came to meet the carriage.
