• The evening of the teazle day upon identify either the first assailants, the
rescuers or the country house to which
the young lady was taken, have quite
hit upon the individual who carried her
off thence," said Mac ,looking wistfully
at his companion, whose only comment
was a smooth, serene—
"Indeed."
"Yes; they bave quite made out the
identity of the individual who carried
Lady Etheridge off from the house in
the woods! Now, who do you suppose
they have made him out to he?"
'Upon my life I could not say, dear
Mac." answered Roberts, with cheerful
frankness.
"You!"
"eMe ?" inquired :Roberts, with gay in-
credulity.
"What nonsense, dear Mac! 'What
should have put that into their remark-
ably stupid heads?" inquired Roberts,
with ea amused expression of counten-
ance.

which these events took place, the mys-
terious individual whom we have heard
called by the name of Roberts, walked
restlessly up and down the floor of his
gloomy apartment in the old, ruined pal-
ace of Ely. His restlessness was without
the least ill -humor; nay, he smiled to
himself, as he murmured:
"Gentlemen who can walk abroad at
large at all hours of the day can, of
course, have little appreciation of the
tediousness of waiting twelve or four-
teen hours in a place like this, or they
would exhibit more charity."
His good humor was at last rewarded
by the sound of steps approaching the
door, admitted the visitor, and secured
it behind him before speaking.
"Well, dear Mao, here you are at last,
old fellow. I have been hoping and ex-
pecting to see you ever since the night
of our adventure. I could not find any
safe way of communicating with you
until this afternoon, when I contrived
to send you o. note. But you knew
in one
ngland. There are, perhaps, two thou-.
sand gents who might answer to the des.
caption of Colonel McCarthy and Cap-
tain Roberts, of the Ilth infantry, al-
though there happen to be no such of-
ficers in that gallant regiment. And last-
ly, as the preachers say, there are at
least two score of old country houses in
•She woods off the road between Lon-
don and Windsor, though there may be
no such place as Howlet's Close found
among the number. But there is on
thing I cannot understand, Roberts."
"What is that?"
"Who the deuce could it have been
that carried the young lady from the
house in the woods, and so ruined my
enterprise?"
"What V" inquired Roberts, abstract-
edly.
"I say, I cannot imagine who that man
in the mask, who concealed himself in
the young lady's •room, and seized and
carried her off by force, could have
been, or what his motive could have
been. I have been thinking of it ever
since, and can snake nothing of the mat-

"No, indeed, dear Mac; I never was

"Humph! it is a nice business this se.

with a good-natured smile. •
"It -was a failure,Roberts—. failure,

"And is the case quite hopeless with
the young lady?"
`So hopeless that she will be married
on the fourteenth of next month to his
grace the Duke of Beresleigh."
No!" exclaimed Roberts, betrayed into
more enrgy of expression than was usual
with him.
'Yes, certainly, it is publicly announc-
ed, bit what is there se strange about
that as to make you start up and. ex-
claim in that way?'
"Rose Elmer—Lady Etheridge—Duch-
ess of Beresleigh," murmured Roberts,
musing deeply.
"Well, well, of course! All natural en-
ough; the pair were understood to be en-
gaged long before their betrothal was an-
nounced; but why it should affect you
so strangely I cannot imagine," exclaim-

CHAPTER XXIII.
The marriage of, the Dune of Beres-

burne came off with great ectat. The
ceremony Was performed in .q. James'
Chapel, in the presence of tte elite of
the aristocracy. - The Bishop of Lon-

some, and embarrassing. Even. Hellen,
Raveeseroft had disappeared from view.
Miss Elmer had neither seen nor heard
from her since the day upon Which they
had last driven out together, when Mrs.
Ravencroft had thrown the letter from
the carriage window to the stranger who
had followed them. •
Ferdinand Cassinove kept on the 'even
tenor" of his laboidous life—teaching
all day and reading law all the evening.
His patron had grown cold to him; his
occasional meetings with Latra. Elinor
were abridged. By a new regulation of
Sir Vincent the tutor and his solitary
pupil took, their meals alone together
in their study. Well did Mr. •Cassinove
understand the reasons both of Sir Vin-
cent's coolness to himself and of his new
regulation in regard to the schoolroom
meals, and his heart burned with honest
indignation. The chief soltiee of his life
was now the daily "good morning" and
"good night," when his hand met Litura's
hand in a thrilling clasp—when his eyes
met Laura's eyes in a passionate glance.
And Laura, Elmer understood his mo-
tives perfectly. No word of love had. been
uttered between them; their mutual es-
teem and affection had spoken only
through their eloquent eyes Yet Laura
Elmer knew that Ferdinand Cassinove
retained his position, and endured a
thousand humiliations, only for. hoe sake.
She was writing for severe' magazines
of high character and drawing a small,
but sufficient biome from her literary
works. She determined, at the elose of
her present engagement, to abandon for-
ever the Tito of a governese, for which

Would not let, and she resoiyed, at the
first opportunity to get the 'address of
Mrs. Russel from Mr. Cassinooe, with
the view of inspecting her lodgings and
possibly becoming her tenant.
In the meantnne; Mies Elmer addressed
a note to .Lady Lester, advising her lady-
ship of her intention to /cave at, the
end of her tent...And .Leturceis resignation
was -at once ,aecepted, with a few ceavens
Hanel expressions of. regret that the
young ladies should lose the advantage
of the in,struetions of so aceomplished a
teacher. And the •news 'get abroad in
the household that Miss Elmer was go-
ing away.
It was about this time, in the interval
between the Morning and the 'afternoon
session, • that Mies 'Elmer was. sitting
alone in the vacant schoolroom, when
those came a rap at the door.
"Come in," said Miss Elmer, expecting
to eee a eervarit, with a message from
Sir Vincent or -Lady Le.ster.
Mr. Cassinove entered the schoolroom.
Hie face was pale andlis voice vibrats
ed with intense suppressed emotion, as
he said:
"I hope you will pardon tha intrusion
and give me a few moments' interview,
Miss Ebner."
"Certainly, Mr. Caesinovee, pray take

resuming her own place at her desk.l

her lodgings."
."I ani quite tome that 1 shoulei. Please
give .nie her exact address," said Laura,
taking up a pencil.
Cassniove complied, and while Laura
was taking down the address, he gaze -d
upon her beaatiful, bowed face as she
bent over her desk, until his own face
rapidly flushed and paled, and his breath
came short and quick.
She heard—her ear caught that quick,
convulsive breathing—and she impul-
sively looked up just as he stooped and
took her hand, and, bowing over it, ut-
tered,ion a tone scarcely above his
breath, yet deep and vibrating witk his
soul's profound: emotion:
"Laura Elmer, I love you. 1 love you
with my whole heart, soul and spirit.
I loved you the first hour looked, upon
your noble face. I have loved you with
an ever-increasing power ever since, as
I shall love yoa through all time and
through all eternity. I have suppressed.
the utterance of my love for menthe,
as I ought, perhaps, yet to have suppress-
ed it,for years, but I could not be silent
longer; I could not stifle my feelings
and live, .And so I have sought you -
day, Laura. Elmer, not in selfishness, me-
in vanity, not in presumption; not to
engage your heart or bind your hand to
a poor man, who must yet struggle
through many years of labor, privation
and hardship 'before he can command a
position which he would asiro you to
share. No, Laura. Miner, no; I sought
you to say that my heart, my brain,
my aervices, my whole life, are all your
own; to say that I consecrate myself,
with all that I am or may become, with
all that I have or may acquire, to your
service for life and death andoeternity,
and. count myself richer than e'...anonarch,

The Warmth of a Snow -House.
Usually our snow igloos allowed each
man from eighteen to twenty inches
space in which to lie down, and just
room enough to stretch his legs well.
With our sleeping bags they were entire-
ly comfortable, no matter what the wea-
ther outside. The snow is porous enough
to admit of air eireidation. but -even .a
gale of 'wind without would not affect
the tempera -tare within. It is claimed
by the natives that when the wind blows:
a snow house is warmer than in a. per-
iod of still cold. I could see no differ-
ence. A new snow igloo is, however,
more comfortable than one that. has
been used, for newly cut .snow blocks
are more porous. In one that has been
used there is always a crust of ice on
the interior which prevents a proper elle-
ciliation of air.—From "The Long Lab-
