van. No cards,"
Two old maiden ladies who were
spending their summer holiday at a
Watering place in the south of Eng-
land, and were partaking of rather
a late breakfast in the coffee room
of the best hotel, wondered what
there could be in the first sheet of
the Times to cause such a sudden
change in the face of their neighbor
at the next table. The kind old
souls hid made a little romance
about the handsome, grave looking
young fellow, who had come to the
hotel a few days before, and used to
sit down to his solitary table in the
(coffee room, never seeming to care
to talk with any ono. Miss Brown ,
the elder, had made up her mind

dark and melancholy looking; Itai- 1
dans were dark and melancholy a
looking, therefore the young man
was doubtless Italian. Possibly he a
was an exile, and probably he was t
married—the Italians, she believed, t
did mery young—and no doubt his
wife was a heartless, worldly per-
son, and caused her husband endless t

Brown had never seen a Spaniard .r
in her life.) She bad met him on
the stairs one day a's he was going
out, and he had taken bff his hat as
he passed her. Very few English-
men would have done that; he was
certainly a foreigner of some sort.
She, however, scouted the idea that
he was married, and made up her
mind that he was crossed in love.
"There is the young foreigner,"
Miss Brown had said to her sister
as Donovan came into the coffee -
room that morning- They had
agreed to call him the foreigner, as
a sort of general term which suited
the opinions of each.
"He is corning to this side of the
room," said Miss Marienne, looking
up from her egg, but hastily- and
decorously turning to the window,
and making a vague remark about
the weather, when she found the

thought it exceedingly wrong.—
Poor boy ! how impatiently he
throws down the paper; it falls on
to the floor, and Miss Marianne,
leaning back in her chair and try-
ing to see below the cloth of the
adjoining table, maintains that he
has put his foot on it, actually
"crushed it under foot;" that is very
roman•ic! Then he hastily drains
bis coffee cup, and when he puts it
down the flush has died away from
his face, and left it very pals and
cold and still. £'he arrival cf the
paper seems to have taken away
appetite, for he abruptly pus

As they walked on the beach th

people called it dull, but for th

Brown said that the sea air or sot
thing made her feel quite you

out of her mouth when Miss Ma
mine suddenly caught her arm, e
claiming:
"Sister, look, there is the foreig

Miss Brown looked along the e
plana'le for the solitary figure wi
the grave dark face, but could n
see it.

was quite a different tone in his ci
voice as he read the words, "You
plainly see that Cogia Houssain

bolical treachery."
Now why should Cogia Roussain
bring such a strange, bitter look
into any one's face? Presently the
story of the "Forty Thieves" was
finished, and the hero's face was
good teu.pered again; he moved the
little invalid's chair quite to the
edge of the esplanade, as near as
possible to the shingle, so that,
without wilful listening, the two
old ladies could hear all that passed

with none of the hurry and bustle He moved her chair into the

f there was the invalid chair, with
s the little faced child, and on a bench
side her was Donovan, in a most
nsabbatical light brown shooting
cket and cloth travelling hat; to
d to it all, he was smoking, and
the Miss Frowns the sight of a
gar was always a sight to be de-
plored, but on Sunday smoking
seemed to them little better than
sacrilege. Miss Marianne was al-
most disarmed by the courtesy of
the greeting, but her sister would
not allow her face to soften; good
looks and pleasant manners were all
very well, but "Sabbath breaking"
was a sin which could not be passed
by, so she tried not to see the fasci-
nating dark eyes, and said, gravely:
"Are you notacoming to church
to -day, Mr Farrant?"
"No, Miss Brown," replied Don-
ovan, not at all offended by the
question, to which indeed he was
pretty well accustomed. "Dot and
I mean to sit here and enjoy the
view. A be: utiful day, is it not?"
"''It is very pleasant.t0 see you so
attentive to your sister," said Miss
Brown, severely, "but religion ought
to stand first young man. The soul
ought to be considered before the
body."
"There is a very good preacher at
St. Oswald's," suggested Miss Mari-
anne, timidly.
Donovan looked at her half sadly
and half amusedly, but shook his
head, and the two ladies passed on.
He resumed his • cigar, but with
rather a clouded brow, wishing that
people would leave him unmolested.
Dot was the first to break the si-
lence.
"What does 'soul' really mean,
Dono?" she began, in her childish
voice. "Doery calls old Betty, the
charwoman, 'poor soul,' but I fancy
that is because her husband drinks.
Are all poor souls ?"
"Most of us," said Donovan,.
shortly.
"But what is a soul,?" persisted
Dot.
"A name given by some people
to the mind," he replied. "Though
I dare say those old ladies would
not agree to that, and would tell
you it was quite a different part of
you."
Now Dot had lived on content-
edly for many years in entire ignor-
ance, but she was just beginning to
be roused, and the words of the two
old ladies had perplexed her.
" What part of us is it ?" she
questioned.
He hesitated for a moment.
"The part you love hue with, 1
suppose."
"Then do you think it would be
really good for the part you love me
with to go to church?"
"No, you await, little arguer, 1
don't" he replied, smiling; "and, if
it would, I shouldn't go and leave
you in your pain. But don't trou-
ble your head about the matter dar-
ling. If religion makes sour selfish
sdul preservers like that, it stands
to reason ft's false. I'll have none
of it! Fancy listening to a sermon
glancing across at her from the other al
table. •.
"Lie looks rather happier this he
morning," said Miss Brown, in a
low tone.
Miss llarienne of course wished
him to look gloomy, and tried to see
something melancholy iu the way
he sipped his coffee, stroked his
mustache and cut his roll in half,
gently insinuating to her sister that
men in good spirits would have
broken a roll; that to be so methodi-
cal in trifles was, she thought,rather
a sign of—in fact quite supported
her theory. Both the ladies were a
little startled when the hero of their
romance called a waiter,and without
the slightest foreign accent asked if
the morning papers had come.
"Strange that he should care to
see English papers," said Miss
Brown, musingly.
"I believe 1 have hoard that Span-
iards are very good linguists," said
Mies Marianne, timialy.
"Not lialf so good as Italians, my
'dear," said the elder sister. "Think
of Dante, and—and Garibaldi."
Miss Marianne was rather over-
whelmed by the mention of these
;great men, and did not for a mo-
ment question that they had been
renowned linguists; she did indeed
try to think of some Spanish cele-
brity of equal renown, and racked
her brains for the name of the author
of "Don Quixote," but it had escap-
ed her memory, and before she
could retell it the waiter returned
with the newspapers. The foreign-
er took the Times and glanced rap-
e idly down the first column. Miss
.Brown would have liked to think

had the best of it now—he was evi-
dently looking at the marriages.—
The two sisters almost gave a sym-
pathetic start when suddenly their
`neighbor's forehead was aharply
tentractod, and a quick flush rose to

hatever their hero was when
one, there could be no doubt that
was merry enough now.
There was a laughing discussion
about the dog's swimming powers.
"You only tried him once in the
Serpentine, you know," said the
little invalid. "I don't believe you
dare try him here."
"See if I don't !" said Donovan,
laughing, and whistling to the fox -
terrier. "I'11 throw him a stone."
"No no, that's no test, said Dot.
"Throw him your new stick. Ah 1
I believe you're afraid to! You do
not think he'll get it back."
"You dare me to?" asked Dono-
van. "Come along, Waif, and show
your mistress how clever you are."
The dog followed his master obe-
diently across the shingle to the
water's edge, and plunged in vali-
antly as soon as the stick was
thrown. Donovan had sent it far
out, and the receding tide was boar-
ing it further still, but Waif swain
on indefatigably, and, after some
minutes, clinched it successfully in
his teeth, and turned back again.
Dot waved her handkerchief from
the esplanade in congratulation, and
both dog and master hurried up the
beach towards her; on the way,
however, Waif paused to shako the
water from his coat, and, unluckily,
the two old ladies were within the
radius of the drops, and received a
sort of shower bath. Donovan has-
tened up to apologize.
"I am afraid my dog has been
troubling you. I hope he has done
no datnage?"
"Oh! none, thank you," said the
sisters, smiling. "Salt water never
gives cold. We were much amused
by•watching hint in the sen."
"He's a capital swimmer. My
little sister would'nt believe lie was
a water dog," and then, raising his
hat, Donovan passed on with a tri-
umphant greeting to the little in-
valid.
"Well, Dot! own now that you're
beaten."
"Quite beaten. Ile was splen --

Presently, as the old ladies rose
to move on, and passed close to the

shade, and then walked along the
shore, battling
with the terrible
thoughts which filled bis mind.—
What if Dot should be taken away
from him? It was the same agoniz-
ing idea which Adela's words had
suggested to hint not long before.
Now he was alone and could allow
himself to face it, could relax fdr
the time the control which in her
presence he was obliged to keep up.
Throwing himself down on the
shingle, he allowed the shadowy
foes one after another to throng up
into his mind, wrestling with each
in a vain, hopeless endeavor to
crush them. Sooner or later the
end must come, he knew it perfect-
ly well, and yet, like a hunted crea-
ture, he tried for some possible
means of escape, or at any rate of
delay. Could he force himself, for
the sake of peace, to believe what
popular religion taught ? No; he
told himself that it would be as im-
possible as to believe in the old
Norse legends of the happy hunting
fields. There was no escape for
him, the separation mast be faced.
He lay stretched out on the peb-
bles with his face turned from the
light, more wretched and forlorn
than the poorest beggar in East
Codrint ton. His miserable struggle
and dumb despair were at last
broken in upon by the sound of a
voice in the distance, a high-pitched
man's voice, which beat uncomfort-
ably on Itis ear, and sounded melan-
choly and depressing, as open air
speaking generally does sound. IIe
started up impatiently, and saw
that a street preacher had gathered
together a little knot of men and
women on the beach, at no great
distance from him. IIe disliked
the interruption, and yet, with a
sort of curiosity, sauntered toward
the little group, and listened for a
few minutes; but unfortunately the
preacher happened at the minute to
be denouncing "modern ritualism"
with much bitterness, and ho soon
turned away contemptuously. 1)id
not these professing Christians "bite
and devour" one another? Did
they not unsparingly condemn all
with whom they did not agree ?—
And, holding the views they did
about the future state, did they not
still live easy, quiet, indulgent lives,
though they believed that more
than halt mankind would finally be
"lost ?"
By and by there was singing.—
With great gusto the preacher start-
ed the hymn "There is a fountain."
Donovan's misery had been keen
enough before, this just made it
complete. The old melody—power-
ful though it is when sung by a
great multitude --had something
extremely aggravating about it.
" I will believe—I do believe."
Over and over again, with emphatic
untunefulness, the motley crowd
roared and shouted the refrain.
Donovan's dark face grew darker;
he set his teeth, listened for a time,
then walked away with a look of
intense scorn, resolving in his own
mind that, miserable though he was,
he would at least be honoet --no
cupboard faith for him !
Dot did not allude to the conver-
sation again. She could not boar
to risk recalling the lnok of pain to
'Pitcher's Cast oria.

In September the visit to Cod-
rington was ended. Mrs Doery
was obliged to be at Oakdeue to
superintend the preparations for the
return of her master and mistress,
a -A Donovan wished to be at home
when his mother arrived, chiefly
from a dislike to conning back when
his step -father was actually installed
in bis new position as head of the
household. He chose to be there
beforehand, and awaited the return
in a sort of proud silence, never
to Dot breathing a single word
which could tell how much he
dreaded it.
On the whole the event proved
to be not half so disagreeable as he
expected. Ellis was kind and con-
ciliatory at first, and, though his
patronage was hard to bear, Dono-
van had sense enough to be thank-
ful for whatever would avert an
open quarrel. He felt instinctively
that sooner or later there would be
disagreement between them, and
for Dot's sake he was glad to keep
the peace.
What he really suffered from
chiefly that autumn was an utterly
different thing. Under the new
"regime," Doery had been consti-
tuted housekeeper. Ellis was hos-
pitable, and constantly had the
manor full of friends,so that Mrs
Farrant did not care for the burden
and anxiety of household manage-
ment; it was quite another thing to
the quiet routine which she had
been able to superintend with little
trouble before her second marriage.
Mrs Doery therefore ascended in
the domestic scale from nurse to
housekeeper, and a new attendant
waited on Dot in her place. It
seemed a very trifling change in the
house, only a new servant, only one
insignificant addition, hradly worth
thinking of, but to Dot the change
meant the opening of a' new life.—
Now, at last, she began to under-
stand the meaning of things. Phcebe,
who had
been blessed with better
teaching than poor old Mrs Doery,
and was more loving and kind-
hearted, opened an entirely new
world to her little helpless charge,
and Dot, in her simple child -like
happiness in the revelation, wonder-
ed why people bed not told her be-
fore, but never thought of blaming
them for the iguoranca in which
they had let her grow up.
