When breakfast was over next
Merning, tee the frost was too hard
for hunting, Marsden sauntered into
the billiard -room, and was knocking
the billiard -bails about by himself,
when the inevitable message reached
.him:
"My Indy would lie glad to see you,
air, in the boudoir."
"I have been waiting for you this
half hour, Clifford."
•"So sorry; I did not like to in-
trude -on you till you sent for me,"
he returned, coining up to the fire-
place, and leaning easily Against the
mantelpiece. "Do you know you are
looking wondeifully well, in spite of
your nursing worries."
"My looks are of small conse-
quence," said Lady .Dorrington,
:sternly, "1 want some serioui; con-
versat ion with you, Clifford; your
atonduct is very unaccountable and
unfeeling. What, may 1 ask, is your
motive- for staying in toWn all this
• time?"
"()h, becatiee-becarse I like it."
"There is something more than

"Yes! Nora quite approves," con-
tinued Marsden serenely. ''She is
Prudent, and very resolute for so
youthful and charming a wood
nymph. She will reforin me, and my
eetate, depend upon it."
"And what -what am I to say to
Mrs, Ituthven?" cried Lady Doering -
ton, pressing her large white hands
together.

Marsden politely. "Only that you

It was more than an hour before
Lady Doreingtou felt ji1lc lently re-
covered nom the excitement of her
interview with her brother to pre-
vent herself in the invalid's chamber,
Lord Dorrington, whom she had
sought as the indignant complaints, was
out, and his whereabouts uncertain.
She felt dreadfully uncertain how to
act. She was afraid to break. the
news of his eingagement to the de-
serted Widow, lest it might produee
a fatal effect, yet she felt it incum-
bent on her to enlighten Mrs. Ruth -
Yen as to thetrue state of affairs.
When, at last, Ludy Dorrinton en-
tered the sitting -room Mtn which
'Atm, Ituthven had been moved fol. a
few hours daily since ter strength
could hear it, she found that lady
writing on a movable desk attached
to the au•nt of her easy-ehair. She
was very white, and looked etready
weary; a lace cap, with pale pink
ribbons, covered her hair, which had
been cut short, and a white cash-
mere wrapper, trimmed with creaus
lace over pink, hung loosely on her
attenuated figure.
"l(Jy dear," exclaimed Lady Dor-
rington, "you are not surely trying
to write?"
"I really am," a smile parting her
pale lips. "Only a few lines, for I
ant certainly stronger. Do not fear
spy imprudence; I am too anxious
to get well. I should like to see Sir.
Harley Portman again; he will tell
me when I can move. 1 begin to be
very anxious to deliver you from the
long -endured incubus of a sick
guest."
"Believe me, we only care to see
vou well. There is not the slightest
net'd to hurry away."
"I know you are all goodness, but
there are matters to be attended to
that no one can do for Inc. I have
been s."rilibling a kw lines to my
lawyer. Will you write for me to
Sir Tlarley?"
"Ceitainly, i,lut you know when
he was here lust he said--'
"Yes, yes, that 1 could. not move
for three weeks. But one has 'pass-
ed, and if he sees what progress I
have made 1 am sure,he will let Inc
go on Wednesday or Thursday next.
Wherever I go ultimately, I must take
London on the way."
"All I beg, dear Mrs. Ruthven, is
' that you will not hasten your de -
on our account. You know
we are to spend Christmas with Aunt
Ihninster, so there will be no party
here! 1 ant sure you are not equal
to write. you look so weary."
Mrs. Ruthven lay back in her
chair, and let her maid unfasten and
remove the desk. When they were
alone she saitl, as she lay back, her
eyes clo-ed, her figure very still:
"I had a Message from Mr. Mars-
den just now." •
"indeed!" cried Lady Porrington,
feeling exceedingly uncomfortable.
"Be had no business to disturb
You."
"re did not disturb me. I would
not be disturbed. lie asked to see
nee" There was a silence of nearly
two minutes, while Lady Dorring-
ton sought in vain- for some wise
and cautious words with which to
reply before she found them. Mrn.
Ituthven resumed very languidly, but
opening her eyes and settling them
on her hostess: "I suppose he wished
, to announce his engagement to Miss
' L'Estrange, if it is true. Is it true,
Lady Dorringtote,"
What a question! what would• she
not have given to lie 'able to deny
the fact with scorn and indignation?
As it was, ought she not to be
thankful • ke ?
"Why, my dear Mrs. Ruthven, who
in the world told you?"
"Some one mentioned it in one of
the letters 1 have been reading."
''Shirley.'' thought Lady Doming -
ton. "Viper."
"But is it true?" persisted Mrs.
• Rut liven.
"Oh! I don't know what to think!
I tun afraid there is something in it.
Indeed, I have been infinitely annoy-
ed." Lady Dorrington paus, d
abruptly, feeling inexpressibly awk-
ward.
"You are not inclined for this mar-
riage then?" said Mrs. Ihithven, a
peculiar and not very amiable Milo
passing over her face.
1- "Inclined for it! Why' it is the bit-
terest disappointment to mei You
must know that, my dear Sits, Huth-
: yen!"
"Ah! Miss L'Estrange has but a
small fortune, and it mill take more
than an ordinary one to put your
b'other's affairs in order."
"Besiths that ,'• cried rale Dor-
rington, ere are other considera-

"That is eery probehle, re is not

"And he actually talks of letting

sinking into a Continentalized
Englislintan."
Mrs. Ruthven compressed her lip%
arid her pale cheets flushed no she
answered in a low, clear tone:
