AF ir Invalid I thought it time to break my proms ise and go to the Bever House. I went one beautiful August day, whea the heat seemed to lie like a golden haze oyer the land, aud the flowers drooped in sheer weariness, and the sky was so blue that one's eyes acheti in looking at It. As I drew near I heard the rushing of the river and the low weal; of the wavelets on the greets. bank, and they gladdened the heart within me. Once more I stood under the shadow of the grand old porch, and the world seemed far Away. In answer to my ring, the gray-haired butler apheared. I told him it was Jane Lewis that I wanted to see, He looked surprised, bowed solemnly, rend ushered me into the library. There I waited for some time, Certainly rumer had not exaggerated the wonderf•ul mag- nificence of the house. The carpets, hangings, pietures, statues all amazed me. I deteeted a peculiar perfume, faint, sweet and refreshing; but the sileece—the deep, brooding stillness whielt nothing broke exeept the rushing of the river, and the chirping of tee birds—was strange, deep, wonderful. If any doors opened or closed, I never heard them• if servants moved, they must have 'been, shod in velvet. Presently Jane Lewis came in. She looked pale and worn, yet seemed plea - tient to me. "I have broken my promise, Jane,' I "The truth is that I feel sure Miss Vane is very ill, and I went to help, "Ikly mistress has been very ill," was the grave reply. She is recovering slowly now; but, as I told you before, Mrs. Neville, you cannot help her." "At least, let me try," I said, per- suasively. "It is quite useless. You do not un- derstand. You are very kind; but, if I were to kneel for an hour begging of Miss Vane to see you, you should not. She would shnply be very angry with me," ' "Then let me help her, uuknown to ber, in some fashion or other." "You eannot. You do not understand. Mrs. Neville. You are very good and kind, but help is out of the question." - I laid my hand on the woman's atm. "Jane Lewis," I said, solemnly, "I do not know whether your mistress is old or young, but I do know that it is wrong of her to shut herself out of the pale of all human sympathy and kind- ness." "So do I," was the pathetic rejoinder; "but as a servant, it is not my place either to criticise or disobey iny mis- tress." "You are right; but has it never oc- curred to you that you share the evrong in aiding and abetting her " 'It may be so, Mrs. Neville. I cannot say. I only know that while I am in Miss Vane's service I must obey her or- ders. Suppose I disobeyed her and Aid what she has forbidden me to do— brought her into communication with the outer world—do you imagine it would. influence her? She would change neither her resolutions nor her ways, but she would dismiss me, and findeome one more obedient in my place. I love my mistress, Mrs. Neville, she contin- ued, with it flush on her fan, "and I have every reason to love her. I nursed her when she was a baby." She. stopped suddenly, es though frightened at what she said. It °mined to me immediutely that, if she spoke truly, Miss Vane must still be quite young. I felt. for the woman's ember- rassment. "Never mind. 'You are regretting what you said, but you need not do so —there is no cause: I shall not repeat it. 1 een see that your position is a deli- cate one. I em desirous of helping, not injueing you." "Thank you, Mrs. Neville," she said. 'You are, indeed, kind. I ought not to have said that. My inistrees would not like it, I am eure.e "Then we will consider it unsaid, and if I can really be of no use to you, 'will not detain you." Se I went away, having learned ncrth- ing of the secret of the house. I had, indeed, gathered one fact. Miss Va.ne was young; she could not possibly be more than twenty-two or twenty-three if Jane Lewis had been her nurse. Old, and tired of the world, I could have understood her desire for retire unlit, her seclusion from mankind—but young! What could it all mean? . CHAPTER IR I did net go to the River House again —it seemed perfectly useless—and I heard no mare for some time of Miss Vane. I concluded that she had recover- ed. Surely Mrs. Lewis would have told inc if enything had gone wrong. juee then strange circumstances hap- pened in the parish of Daintree. Dr. Rawson called on me oho morning, his manner more than usually excited. "My dear Mrs. Neville, ouch a strange thing has happened, You remember, perhaps, lase Bentley, in my sermon?, I aaId something about my unmet wish te restore the eastern window of the Church; et the same time I said that I did. not wish to divert from the poor the money usually given in charity," "I remember it perfectly well, Doctor Rawson." "This morning I received an envelope, direeted to myself, containing, four bank -notes for fifty pounds each. The envelope contained only these words: "for the poor, one hundred pounds; to. ward the eastern window 111214, one htuo and pounds.'

The faint sound of the sculls in the water did not rest& my neighbor, and I hastened away. It never struck me that in thua watch- ing ray mysterious tenant I was doing anything in the least degree unladylike or dishonorable. There could be no doubt bet that at last I had seen Miss Vane. She was young and graceful, and had hands of marvellous whiteness and beauty. 1 knew no more. I think from that evening a spell was. laid upon me. I could never forget her. What was she doing, young and fair, alone in that solitary house? I passed and repassed, but never saw her again. Spine weeks afterward I went for long ramble in Daintree Woods. There is to nee no sight in the wide world so beautiful as the woods in autumn, with their variety of foliage, and splendor of autumn coloringaI took a great liberty and went into the pine weeds, saying to myself that even should I meet anyone from the River House, it would be very easy to hide. While walking slowly along, very busy gathering a peculiar kind of berry that ripens in Septeraber, I saw the same graceful figure, With the long, trailing, black garments, and the •white marvel- lous hands: I stood quite still, and in a few minutes she sat down in the same attitude as before, at the foot of a tall tree, her head leaning against the huge trunk, the white restless hands lying on her black dress. I looked at her in silence. I would have given the world for courage to speak to her, but I dared not intrude— indeed, I hurried behind the clump of • trees when I saw Lewis advancing to- ward her. I did not want her to see me. After all, my being there WAS an acci- dent, and she would have thought I was spying. She came up to Miss Vane, and stood at a respectful distance from her. "I hope you will not think rue tire- some, Miss Vane," she said; "but I thought you were coming to sit in this wood. You would be quite content to sit here until the sun has set, but 1 can- not allow it, Miss Vane. You may be angry if you will—remember what Sir John •said." Prom under the veil came a low, sweet. musical seund. It was not a laugh— nothing that could possibly be called * laugh. "I am quite indifferent, Lewis, to all that Sir John may say." Miss, that is an old subject of dispute between us. Whether it is right to be so utterly indifferent to llfe is another matter, I must do my duty, d that is to take due of you." "Yon do take care of me," said the same sweet voice. It was certainly Miss Vane speaking, but all attempts at describing her voice would be vain. It was low and soft, and there was something clear and vibrat- ing, yet hopeIeis in it. It produced' a strange impression on me, making me thiele of many things sweet and sad. "You sat on the lawn until past mid- night not lour ago ,• Miss Vane—that was bad enough; but this, wood must be damp. '131e autumn mists will soon rise from the river and pass over it and thou you will take cold and be in danger again." 'Lewis," said the young voice, "you pretend to be very fond of ram" "I am fond of you, Miss Vane," was the dignified rejoinder—"there is no pre- tence. 1 beg of you to leave the woods, at least before the mist rises." "I will. Now leave me in peace." "Miss Vane," continued the maid, af- ter a short pause, "you told me that you wished to be made acquainted with all the eases Of distress that should come to iny knowledge." "Certainly I did, Lewis." "I know of one now—that of an eld- erly woman, whose living is derived from the prodece of a small garden and from the sale of milk. Her cow hite died, and she is asking for help toward, buying another." "How mu& does a cow cost, Lewis?" "I do not know, Miss Vaue--fifteen pounds, 1 should imagine." "Fifteen pounds," topeatea the sweet voice --'that is hot much; Is it possible that one's happiness or misery may de - peed on fifteon poulicloP" 'Hers does, Mist; Vane; it seems a trifle to you—it is everything to her.

For many long mouths After my bleb griaizse of the tenant of River HOUste hauntea the banks. of the stieem, in Iduldah, Vane was again lost to eight, Our neighbors had ceased to •disease her. In the spring of the fourth year of ,her residence at the River House I was destined to see limre of her, 1 went one morning for a row on the river, What it manliest it waseethe air elettr, sweet, balmy, filiett with the odor of spring Sewers, the hedges all blooming with pi:1k twad white hewthorn, the treee it tender green! I rowed down the stream, past the River liouse, to a favorite naok of mine bang that was literally coverea with wild hyacinths. I Kt on one of the steno, looking nt the picturescom wat- ers, when I heardn faint sound, as el some one ruoaning in pain, I listened abtentively, although thinking that I ntust be mistake; and I presently heard it again quite plainly. Was it a wounded, animal, or hacl some ohild fallen over the huge stones? I stood up and looked around. At first I could distinguish nothing, but, shading my eyes from the bright Bun - shine, 1 soon discovered, clue td the water, what in the distance lookede like a heap of black drapery, I hastened to- werd it. My heart beat fast when I saw a evhite hand cliechine a portion of the drug. I knew the and—I recognized the drapery, It was Iluldah, Vane. I stood quite still for a second or two, and then haetened to her. The graceful tiee was bent as though in deadly pain— her face wae tweed from me, and droop- ed toward the ground. I knelt down by her side and touehed her gently—the feeble moan ehanged into a stele:tied ere. "ere you hurt? Are you 111?" I naked, gently. To my suortrirelpsl. eyshe turned from me and made n . "Do not turn from me, my dear cline," I said—"I may call you 'dear child,' for I ant many years older than you." Stal no answer came. "t do not wish to dis- tress you, but common humanity will not allow me to go away and leave you here." Still there was no word. Such a strange eonstraitted silence it was that I raised leer head, and saw that she had fainted and lay in a deadly swoon. threw back the black veil that covered her face, and was compelled to ery aloud wander at its marvellous joveliness. Great heavenst what did it all mean? This child, so young, so tender, so lovely, living alone, shut out from her kind, talking as I had once beard her talk of preferring doeth to life—what slid it mean? She tookea about twenty, eon tainly no more; and she was beautiful as a dream. I took off the bonnet with its long, disfiguring black veil, and then I laid the beautiful head, with its wealth of ehining clerk heir, on the cool grass, Presently I raised It again, and pillotved it on iny breast. I kissed the levely face in a perfect pession of yearning pity, and teen dipped my handkerchief in the flowing water ani moistened her brow, It revived her, and soon afterwerci two dark eyes were looking usounifully into mine, so dark, so sweet, at once so prowl and tender, with such deep sadness in their rich depths, teat they haented inc with their sweet imperiousness and proud beauty for daes afterward, They were leolcing into mine for some moments before I quite recovered my- self. I saw by their vague, dreamy ex- preesion that Miss Vane was only half conscious. "Was I almost dead?' slit asked, in a strange whisper. "Not quite," I replied, haselly knewiug what to answer. "Lay me down, turn my face to the river, and let me die," she said; and then fuller consciousness returned • to her, "Who are you?" she asked. "I am Mrs, Neville, of Neville's Cross, and you are rny tenant." She lay quite stillfor a few minute's, and then she said to herself; "fIe cannot be helped," "Miss Vane," I interrupted, "we will speak of you—never mind me. Have you hurt yourself?" I saw that all eit onee she bad awoke to it fell knowleclge of where she was and what had hap- Pe'lleYede's, 1 iieve injured my arm, I was sitting on one of those stones, ana did not notice that those above me were loose.

These clogs, led, Ly it bulky animal called Bul- ler, watched us disembark with their bright eyes. Fiction has said. how the moment it husky vanquished in light lone its legs its team mane fall up. on and tear it to pieees, but fictioe has not added that it child, or even in :gime instances an adult, Must also keep his feet to secure safety from a. similar fate. A few months before our visit a child at Cartwright, one of the Hud- son's Bay posts, slipped upon a wooden jetty and fell among the huskies. There were -upwards of fifty bites upon her before her mother, who showed the highest courage, succeeded in driving the brutes off. During the deer time the husky is fairly amexiable to the well - aimed stone, but at night, or under stress of temptation, the savage wolf uature breaks out at once,, I can re- member an anxious pilgrimage I made hi the starshine to fetch a shirt I had left to dry on the bushes, during which I eves accompanied by Buller and his fellows, all treading delicately. In the summer time the ordinary 'Abrader liveyere does not trouble him- self overmuch with the problem of dog food, If he happens to catch a fish unfit for human consumption he car- ries it home for the dogs; if not, the animals are left unfed, and support themselves by theft.or by long hunting expeditions. On one occasion I nearly added a husky to my bag. I came upon him among the spruces some miles in- land, and had nearly thrown the rifle to my shoulder, when I recognized that the creature slinking through the she- dowa was not it wolf, but a dog. Summer is the hard season for the husky, his owners probably thinking that as he does no work at that time Ito needs no food; but as soon as the snow comes and the "lcomatiks," or sledges, appear, the lot of the husky undergoes it change. He is then fed and looked after as much as he needs and, the latter at least, more than be likes. He is then the outward and vis- ible sign of the prosperity and status of his owner.
