Jessie's eyes were full ef tears though
she was laughing, her voice broke into
a little sob; but Philip's heart grew
light as he listened, grateful to her for
taking it so easily and sparing him the
lamentations that would. have made
things so much worse. Yet he wond-
erediast she was so slightlY constitut-
ed and could take things so lightly.
"I am glad at least to be able to see

said; '"she is a kind old woman and

It wall a crime even to look out of
the window in that house, while to say
one hated anything was shockingand
unladylike; she wondered if prisons
could be more cramping; but it was
better than living altogether with
Cowin Jane, her only alternative. 9

Before he left England, and resigned
Jessie to the temporary care of, her
other guardians, they went together
to the graves of their father and moth-
er, which Jessie had made pleasant
with flowers and greenery. As he
stogd there, Philip thought of all that
they had done for him. But for Mat-
thew Meade's beautiful charity to an
orphaned child waif, what might his
lot have been? A workhouse boy, a
nameless, homeless unit in that mass
of shipwrecked humanity, untaught
and unloved, what chance of even a
decent life would have been his?
He was glad now that he had chosen
the lowly home at Stillbrooke rather
than Marwell; what would the more
brilliant seeming life have profited him
if he had remained a comparative
stranger to those two kind hearts, now
stilled forever?
Yet he must now be ", a nameless,
kinless man; his last forlorn hive that
he might discover his own origin in
lookingthrough Mr Meade's papers was
gone. He decided once for all to think
ne more of his dubious origin, from
the knowledgeof which, in spite of his
efforts to learn it, he shrank, fearing
dishonor. He fejt that he ought to
know, 'but since he had failed to find
out from Mattew Meade; he would re-
main henceforth ignorant. But for
the Medway a; the secret would have
died with Mr Meade. Something more
than pride or fear restrained him from
consulting Sir Arthur Medway, who
wo uld probably conclude that Mathew
Meade had told iiim all there was to
know on his coming to man's estate.
And, after all, if there were any profit
in knowing, they would surely have
told him before.
All who cared for him and his or-
phan sister lay there beneath the turf;
he must carve out a place in life of his
own.
"My loss was greater than yours,
Jessie," he said; after a long silence; "I
owed them more."
"Yes," she replied, looking up from
her flowers with a faint smile. "Ands
I often thought they cared most for
you. Especially father. They were
' so proud of you." •
"And I such a beast," he thought.
- -Then-he -asked, -,Tessieeto-renew-th
death -bed promise', ' and they Clasped
hands solemnly over the graves, and
he put a ring on her finger.
"Ohl Philip," she exclaimed, when
they turned to leave the spot, "it is an
opal ring."
"Don't you like opals?" he asked.
"I thought you did; that is why I chose
them."
"Ahl but the bad luck!"
"Foolish child," he said, temle:.le,
his heart going out to her in a rush of
pitying love, "how can a true love gift
be unlucky?"
They sat alone togetherin Mrs Plum-
mer's house till late that night, count-
ing the minutes. Next morning they
drove together to Cleeve station,
whence Philip started for Dover. on
his way to India.
Jessie stood on the platform by the
carriage door with him till the last
moment; every tick of the station
clock seemed to beat some life out of
their throbbing hearts; they held each
other's hands, and when the last bell
clanged and their hands were foi•ced
apart, the jangling strokes crashed on
the two bruised young hearts. The
pitiless engine panted away, Philip
looked back till the bent of the road
swallowed him up and he could no
longer see Jessie, and the yearning
gaze of each was met by vacancy.
The Cousin Jane, who had been
standing at a bookstall showering tears
upon the monthly magazines, came
bustling forward and bid Jessie make
haste home to Miss Blusliford's.
"He'll write from 'Dover to -night,"
shcesaid, "and that you'll hey to-inen•-
rote. Then at, Calais he's to write,
and at Paris. Dear, dear. what ex-
pense he'll be at with postage. to lie
sure. Look up, Jessie, look hip. 'I isn't
many of our sort can be engaged to a
fine young officer like Philip."
Jessie did not heed, she saw nothing
but Philip's vanishing face: it, seemed
as if her life had been ‘ielently wrench-
ed from its place.
As for Philie, he felt that, all that
was most vital in him was left, behind
with Jessie, while he rushed on aim-
lessly into a blank, homeless void.
Yet one thought throbbed glowing-
ly in his breast; this agony of yearn-
ing, this tenacious clinging of the
heart, meant nothing less than love.
He was quire sure now heshould love
her and no other to the end of his life.

MAO the sad day when she found Jes-
sie poring over a large volume inscrib-
ed riktb,t„bo alarming name of Byren,
that'She awoke to the duty of tasting
the child's mental food. Byron, care-
fully shrouded in brown paper, lest re-
spectable citizens should be scandaliz-
ed by Seeing him borne openly through
their streets, was promptly returned
to the dusty shelf on which he had
long mouldered by Miss Blushfoz d's
own correct hands, and the works of
Cowper were given to Jessie in com-
pensation; she was further bidden to
devote more time to her "accomplish-
ments," and in particular to paint a
group of flowers on velvet, and do
some wool work for the sofa.
Poor Miss Blushford! The evening
following the procession of Byron to
his dusty seclusion was not a happy
one for her.
The girls were gone to bed, the as-
sistant teacher was spending an even-
ing out, and she was alone with her
parlor boarder, who was apparently
taking the opportunity of improving
her mind by instsuctive conversation.
Miss Blushford had conversed with
fluent urbanity about an hour in reply
to Jessie's timid questions on history, :
literature, science, and art, under the
impression that she was filling her
listener's mind from her own supera-
bundant stores of knowledge. when !
all of a sudden it flashed upon her that
she was playing the part, not of phil-
osopher to disciple, but of pupil to ex-
aminer. Miss Blushsord quickly turn-
ed the conversation to lighter themes,
and Jessie stitched thoughtfully at the
abhorred wool work, wondering if
Miss Blushford's colossal ignorance
were normal in school mistresses.
Miss Blushford was a good woman
and loved Jessie, who loved her in re -
tern. She was about fifty, upright,
thin, exact, self-denying, timid and
rigid. What intellect she ever posses-
sed had been worn away in mill horse
drudgery and petty anxieties, what
little knowledge she ever acquired
frittered away in constant mechanical
repetition to her pupils. Her school
had a good reputation, it was select.
Jessie had with great difficulty and
much heart searching been adinitted
to it; it was expensive, and yet Miss
Blushford was poor. And she had
nothing put by for old age or sickness.
She was a lonely woman, yet she had
many to support.
In most families there is one helpless
member dependent on the rest, it was
sa_avith_the...BLuehfords;_epe di lighter: -
was imbecile, Miss Blushford support-
ed her in a private house. One male
Blushford had failed early in business
and passed his prime in hunting for
odd jobs, looking for commissions, and
hovering on the verge of bankruptcy,
whence Miss Blushford perpetually
plucked him: she educated his nine
children and set them out in life. Her
father's second family she also educat-
ed and set out in lite, and supported
her stepmother till her death. No
wondered Miss Blushford was poor.
He elder brothers were men of sub-
stance, it is true, but they had families
whein they could not rob. Her elder
sister "kept her carriage," and was
ashamed to own poor Bessie, but DO
help was forthcoming from her; it was
preposterous to suppose that her hus-
band would rob his children to support
his wife's relations! So Bessie, upon
whose youth one golden beam of ro-
mance had fallen, renounced the hus-
band and ,l'aildren and carriage that
she mighthave had and drudged on,
in most prosaic, nrecognized heroism,
to maintain the helpless members,
winning little but the contempt of all
in return.
"I wonder what, poor Bessir will do
now?" the family said. when anybody I
came to grief.
But Jessie knew of Miss Blushford
only that she was ignorant, willow.
prime and frug,kil- painfully frugal -so
she chafed against her yoke, as her
own nature expanded. After the By-
ron episode, Miss Bliisliford began tell-
ing her pupil that it WOE unfeminine
as well as unladylike :1 o read much; it
was pail icularlly unladylike to have
strong feelings; more unlail ylike still
to wish to he independent and work

she should like to (Io.)
"May I never do anything because I
like il? Ahist I only do \Vila', 111011 likP

"Certainly, my dear,- Miss Blush -
ford replied, with her little didactic
air: "it is unfeminine to have strong
likings. Gent lemen a !ways know
what is truly feniinine and unladylike.
Sweetness, submission, unselfishness
are the chief qualities required of fe-
males. Mr Philip Randal justly obser-
ved in his last epistle to me; 'I wish
Miss Meade to read less and give THOM
time to strictly feminine pursuits, such
as needle work. dancing. housekeeping
and accomplishments' "-such was Miss
Blishford's translation of Philip's re-
quest that Jessie should not he made
to learn too nitich. "Gentlemen dis-
like bluestockings. Ladies of superior
attainments should always endeavor
to conceal them. lest they should be
deemed unfeminine."
"I suppose.. Miss Blushford." said
Jessie, "that it !netters nothing what
women think, the gi•eat point is what
people think of them."
"Quite so, my love."
"Their conduct should be rentirely

Jessie, with a ciirmus glitter of her
eyes.

After thie ,/essie read with more ar-
dor but less candor. She did not hesi-
tate to deceive Miss Illusliford by false
covers to her books, most of which she
kept in a hiding place she had discov-
ered under the roof tiles opening frond
her bedroom. Here also she kept a
store of smuggled candles and niatehee,
which she used to light her studies
after her candle had been removed
from her room. Was it not lawful to
conceal things from children? Jessie
argued; why, then, should a grown-up
Jbaby like Miss Blushford, however
amiable, know all that she did?
The pupils cazne little in contact with
Jessie, and when they did, regarded
her with no sense of fellowship. As a
parlor boarder and grown Up young
lady, they looked I* to her, while the
fact of her being engaged, and espe-,
Wally engaged to a fine young officer,
invested her with all the glamor of ro-
mance. A letter from philip created a
flutter of pleasant excitement in the
house; unlike the pupils' letters, it was
inviolate; Miss Blushford actuallydared
not open it. The letters came fast and
thick at first, Philip dotted them all
along his route, whenever he found a
post office. "My own Jessie -My pre-
cious child -My darling," they began,
and were all heart -break and tender-
ness, butslightly relieved with sketches
of travel as far as Calcutta, where they
settled down :into "Dearest •Jessie,"
and so continued at that affectionate
level,
Jessie's letters were of necessity few-
er, since she could not dot them along
Philip's route; they too were at first
tender and full of heart -break, but
resigned and meek; they lacked the
stormy revolt of Philip's; gradually
the tenderness and heart -break faded
out of them, and the , letters on both
sides became chronicles of what befell
each, mingled with requests on Jessie's
part and good advice by way of an-
swer from Philip. Almost immediate-
ly after he started for India, the news
of the Meerut and Delhi outbreaks
thundered through England, to be fol-
lowed by still more tragic tidings
throughout the summer and autumn.
As each tragic episode in the drama
of the Mutiny unfolded itself and was
told in England with all the exaggera-
tions of fear, mystery, pity, and in-
dignation, a sort of madness seized
upon the people, to whom the know-
ledge that Christian women and child-
ren of their own race were slaughtered
and tortured by that inferior and sub-
ject heathen race they had been accus-
tomed to hold so cheaply, was a horror
beyond endurance. War, which to
• other nations means invasion and the
suffering, if not the slaying, of women
and children, the breaking up of homes,
with famine, fire, and pestilence, has
a milder face for inviolate England,
whose soldiers alone, taste its immedi-
ate horrors. All the prejudices and
antipathies of religion, race, and caste
were stung into flerce vitality by the
suffering and degradation of helpless
English in India. whose countrymen
at home were powerless to succor
them. A wave of passionate vindic-
tiveness swept over men's hearts, an
unsuspected trait in the national char-
acter was brought to light. Not only
in India, where their position was so
desperate, but there were loud cries
for vengeance -vengeance alone in
its naked ferocity. Pious cler•gyrnen,
peaceful laymen, gentle, kindly peo-
ple, did not hesitate to say that no
reprisals could be too severe for those
monsters of iniquity, and much that
was only said with inipotent passion in
England was done with steadier vin-
dictiveness in India.
It was a ghastly satire on our boast-
ed progress and civilization; it might
_UV e beeieStill jpeee.,gbastis__ tultefor
few brave and noble inen, who turned
a deaf ear to popular clamor and pub-
lic obloquy, and did justly, and lOved
mercy even in that awful tempest.
Jessie, in the conventual seclusion
of her school, where newspapers were
rare, heard little of these things; she
did not realize the awfulness of the
crisis; she had grown accustomed to
war in the Crimean days, and feared
comparatively little for Philip, even
when she knew him to he in the thick
of the fighting. Had he not already
tried the fortune of war?
But in those rare occasions when she
mingled with the outside world, she
was horror struck at the way in which
people talked of "those black devils,"
and one or two passionate expressions
in Philip's letters made her shiver and
hope they were but momentary ebul-
litions, caused by righteous indigna-
tion at the first bearing of such cruel -
lies as will forever throw a mournful
horror upon the word Cawnpore. She
did not inquire too closely into Indian
details; she drew not let her thoughts
dwell upon Philip's danger, any more
than upon her parents' death; she de-
liberately lulled the emotional side of
her nature to sleep, by continuous
strenuous rnent,a1 occupation. I net in et
told her that madness lay in feeling,.
