TRF4 BAR -MAID AT BATTLETON.
BY F. W. ROBINSON.
CHAPTER IL -Continued.
"Not Miss Daly? Indeed.," and the
major's face shadowed as with a keen
sense of disappointment.
Miss Raekett sUddenly became pert
and sharp and satirical.
"rm not Vie beauty ;oh, no! I won-
der where your eyes were if you came
all this way to look at her. Oh, no !
lor bless you, we're none of us half as
good-looking as Miss Daly. Three-
pence, please,torthat stout, and. thank
you."
Miss Racket would have retired im-
mediately had he not said quickly,
"Wait one moment, please," in so au-
thoritative a tone that he reniiinded her
instinctively of Mr. Javelins 4n his in-
spection tour, and When the receipts
did not quite correspond with the con-
sumption of material.
Major Crawshaw looked rpund the
bar very carefully now, and for the first
time observed a quiet, thoughtful girl
'standing at the back of the *reading
a, letter.
"Is -is that Miss Daly?" liOnquired.
"Yes, that's her," answered Miss
Racket. "Shall I tell her yen, want to
speak to her ?"
• "Not this .moment, if you pleasein, re-
plied the major. "I'm very sorry you
are not Miss Daly ; it's exceedingly ag-
gravating to lose my titne like this.
Besides. it wouldn't have 'mattered so
• much if you had been -dash. it V' and
Major Crawshaw stamped with his feet
and looked. vexed. •
Miss Racket.by this time had recover-
ed heraelf, and lost the little amiability
which she had been ever known to pos-
sess. She did not love Miss Daly as a
sister -on the contrary, as she had told,
Miss Bland more than once in confi-
dence, ate hated her like poison ; and
to be gravely informed by a gentleman
that he had lost time in talking t� her,
under the misapprehension that she
was the identical Miss Daly, whom he
had come especially to see, would have
tried the temper of a greater saint than
she was likely to turn. out.
"Miss Daly," sho said, with almost a
screech, of envy, "here's another gen-
tleman wants to talk to you for a little
while."
Miss Daly looked up from her letter,
and then went on calmly with its per-
usal.
"Oh! trne-it is, indeed," said
Miss Racket. 'Ask him:"
"1 ani busy," said Miss Daly, without
looking up this ,time.
" hliss 3.ots will exouse my
abruptness -I Should be glad: of your
attention foi a few Moments," said the
major.
There was a genuine ring in the voice
that was not a little startling to the
Battleton Junetion gids, ancl it im-
pressed Miss Daly, who put her letter
in her pocket and advanced at once.
When she was facing him, analregard-
ing hiitn with two thoughtful brown
eyes, he was more sorry than eyer that
this was Miss Daly; he hardly knew
why at the moment, there seemed too
mauy reasons to be sorry, and there were
all jumbled together at that iestent in-
extricably.
"Well, Sir?" said Miss Daly, very
quietly.
CHAPTER M.
WHILST THE IRON WASHOT !
- Major Crawshaw was not in "good
• form" that particular evening. He had
been wanting in perspicuity, he had
blundered egregiously, and now,- facing
the enemy whose machinations he had
corae to Battleton expressly td circum-
vent, he felt himself still more at a loss.
He did. not know what to say on the
spur of the moment; the real Miss
Daly was not at all the Miss Daly
whom he had expected. to find, but a
calm, self-possessed young lady, whom
service behind a refreshment bar bad
not spoiled or rendered "flashy.'! This
quiet being might have been taken for
a lady anywhere -might "have held her
place in any society, he thought, if. she
had had the discretion to hold her
tongne. For, of course, she would be
as sharp aud jeeity as Miss Racket
when she began to cliscourse-all bar-
maids' conversation being essentially
jerky, keepitner time with the money as
it rattled in the till. No; hewas mis-
taken again; Miss Daly's voice had not
a,n atom's worth of jerkiness in it.
• "Your mune is Daly ?" the major said,
- for the want of a better questi u to etart
with.
"Yes, Sir. What do you require of
naer'
"I should be glad of a little private
conversation, Miss Daly ?" he said.
"At What time do you leave this bar ?"
Miss Daly looked somewhat- aston-
ished; and even doubtful -of his motive
for addressing her. A scarlet flush
• flickered on her cheek, alth.ough the
brown eyes remained steady and in-
quiring. She did not actually doubt
• the man yet, notwithstandina that
-there had been all kinds ofl strange
beasts prowling about her path since
her noaitiate. The eyes which encoun-
tered hers were clear and sharp gray
eyes that were difficult -to associate with
any guile. For tire present, at least,
and despite the singularity of his ques-
tion, she could: afford her interlocutor,
the benefit of the doubt.
"Hae you any particular r ason for
asking me?" she said.
"I have."
"What is it ?"
"I wish to speak to you on business
• of importance."
"I do not believe in any business of
importance between you and. Me," said I
Miss Daly, coldly, "unless," silo added !
quickly -"unless you have heard. from
my unCle-have been sent to tell me all
the news."
"I have not the honor of !knowing
• any member Of your family, Miss Daly,"
said the major, "and - the business of
importance to which I alluded affects
my family rather than your own."
"I can have nothing t� do with it." 1
"Unfortunately you have."
“If you Will kindly explain ?"
"Not here," said the old soldier, very !
stonily ; "certainly not at thisoounter,
. and with these young women' listening
to us."
"You have my full permission to !
speak out, Sir."
"Where do you live when aTitay from
this -place ?"
"1 do not feel called upon. to tell you, II
Was the grave reply. ,
"And you will not tell me, possibly ?",.
i
"No, Sir, I will not."
"Confound it," he blurted forth; :
"what are you afraid of ?" I
"1 am not afraid. of you, certainly,"'
• said Miss Daly, very calmly. "1 hard- 1%
ly doubt you, but I am not :disposed to
put ,rny trust in you."
"It must surely strike you that there
are topics of conversation which might
be discussed in a more fitting place
than this ?"
"I am notafraid of any topic," was
was tbereply •' "and you, as a strang-
er, have no right .to make a mystery
about it."
"You distryst me?"
"I distrust any one wlib is not
straightforward," replied Miss Daly.
"Very well -very well," said the ma-
jor, turning very red, "this is the. first
time in all thy life I. have been told I
was not straightforward: I -I can't
mention the -nature of my busineSs
without rendering you an object of
• ridicule to the rest of the young ladies
present.' They are listening now, for
that matter. • Look at them."
Miss Daly laughed. :pleasantly -and
momentarily at this:
"Alt 1 yes-theyelisteu a little; and;
with a sigh, "they don't like me much.
-I am net one of theni quite," •
"I hope you'll never be sue -h, a young
fool as to try and imitate their ways,"
, said the major. -
"Oh, they are not as they seem,"
said Miss Daly. "Tbey aro very good
and kind sometimes; they are honest,
and hard-working, and they take care
of themselves bravely, considering
what defenceless women Most -of them
are."
"Bravo ! Miss Daly," said the major,
"Let me shake hands with you for
stioking up for yopr plass."
Miss Daly did not accept the invita-
tion; she was indignant uow, and dis-
posed to -him from him.
"By Jove! you're a brave little wo-
man," he continued; "and it was beast-
ly unfair of me to sneer in that fashion
at you. Not that I meant to erieer ex-
actly -I intended to advise you, as your
own father inielfit do -.-and I'm old
enoughto be your father, my child,
remember that; and-Hollo, you
Sir!..What the devil brings you down
here 2"
"Geod. gad ! node, is ,that you ?" and
young Todd came to a full stop, and
remained with his mouth open and his
small eyes distended, as at •an appari-
tion which had suddenly confronted
him.
"Yes, it is I," said his uncle. -
"Do they know you ere coming, up at
the house?" asked Mr. Todd.. -
"I thought I would give them an
agreeable surprise," was the uncle's eva-
sive answer: "it's a year and a, half
since -I was at Battleton last."
"So long as that?" said the imcom-
plimeutary .nephew. "I shouldn't have
thought it. Will -will you -take any
thing ?" he stammered forth. .
_Major Crawshaw glanced. from his
nephew to Miss Daly. The nephew
was staring hard at the lady; the lady
was looking down demurely at the mar-
ble counter.
Too innocent, thought the major; a
deuced sight too innocent to be natural.
Like Miss. Bland, he put the la.derclown
" sly "-very sly, and a woman of
whom to be wary from that time forth.
If she had blushed elk' giggled and
-
leered, as Miss Racket would have
done, be would not have been afraid of
Miss Daly; but the sem-Ida-nee of utter
unconseiousness was ait artful proceed -
Mg that proved' at 01303 the difficult
nature of the task which he had set
himself. He must be very wary in this
business.
He replied to his nephew's offer, "No,
thank you, nothing more till we get
home ;" -and he linked his arm in that
of Edwin's forth with .
"I -I didn't think of going to the
house just at present." stam mered. young
Todd; have Only just lefttit."
"It's so long a time sinceel have been
this way, that I am very likely '• to
miss it without your guidance," said the
major.
• "Yes -but--"
"And surely there is nothing here
that is worth wasting time over," be
added, sarcastically; "the refresbments
are bad; and' the _bar -maids we can
leave to the passengers, porters. aud
shopmeu."
!-yes-:-exactly. Shall I , call
this fly? then you can take your lug-
gage as, well, and 1 can-"
"No, .we will walk, Edwin. The lug-
gage is booked to follow me. What a time
it is since we have had a long chatlto
gether !"
• But young' Todd was not to be led
away wholly Without au effort; he had
had time to reflect on the position.
"One moment, uncle," he said, iii-
ougagiug his arm ."I always •have •a
little nip of whiskey and water after
diuner. I'll notkeep you a moment."
"A nip of .whiskey and water after
dinner is an extremely bad habit • but
don't be long," the major replied. •
He stood. ata little distance from the
counter, and.. watched his nephew ap-
proach Miss Daly and give the order re-
quired.. Already . the troth was very
patent to him that there was under-
standing of some kind between Edwin
Todd, and Miss Daly, and that they
were peither iuclined to trust him hi
the' Matter. Afread,y they ,both sus-
pected him, and gnessed the object of
his coming; it would be necessary to
strike whilst the iron was hot. He was
a man of action, quick and prompt;
when he thought a thing, or said a
thing, he carried it out at once -there
had
had been no shilly-shallying at any
period of his existence. "That able
and indefatigable officer" be had been
Once styled in a despatch to -head-quar-
ters, and. it had brougltt him promotion,
and 'made him a proud man. Able and
indefatigable he wasejetho knew that,
better than he -and be was not going
to be baffled at the outset. by a pig-
headed boy and a chit of -a girl. Not he;
he was too old a soldier, and too used
to campaigning.
Young Todd was sipping at his whis-
key, and muttering something with
closed teeth .to Miss Daly between
whiles ---making fresh arraugenients
possibly -when the major. said, sharply:
"Come, Edwin, we can't hang about
here all night," .
"All right," said Edwin, evidently in
scnieefear of his uncle at present; "I
am ready."
A few more words' from him to Miss
Daly, the same innocent expression op
Miss Daly's face, and then Major Craw-
shaw and his nephew were on the high-
road. together. -
The major began at °nee -the iron
was quite hot enough, he thought.
' "1 question the policy of these re-
freshrctent bars at railway stations-," he
said, "and a lot of bold-faced wonien.be-
hind them ready to flirt with any cad
who turns up."
•
"People must have refreshments, I
suppose," young Todd remarked.
"I would limit the refreshments con-
sumed to bona Ate travellers. I would
not allow half the town sneaking in and
out at all hour a after these girls, if I,
had any authority. here. By Jove!
I'd alter the whole business," said the
major. , ,
,
. "I don't think half the town goes
there. I :don't know," -sada Edwin
.Todd, mildly, He was a mild young,
mau of outward aspect, and very diffi-
cult to argue with. He .had an un-
pleasant habit of agreeing upon any
point for the sake of *peace and quiet -
nes. and keeping his own opinion to
himself, and this was always the (lift-
,
culty with young -Todd. ,
"You go there,"eaid the major sud-
denly, "for ono." .
"Yes; but I'm not half the town ex-,
actly, and-"
"And you're _always. there, Edwin;
you know you lake."
"Who toldjou so? Mother ?" asked
his nephew; '"er my sisters ?".
"I - don't - ,.nnifice matters. Your
mother wrote to say she was unhappy
about yon -that she was afraid you had
formed an attachMent to one of . these
young women; and that I had -better
nun down and see -what naiechif was
clone, and what mischief could be pre--.
ventedeand litre I' am.- ' There."
.It was no sa nder that Major Craw-
shaw's feelings were hurt when Miss
Daly had hinted thathe was far from
straightforward -there was no beating
about the bush in this instance. He
had told his nephew very plainly what
was the object of his visit, and within
a quarter of an honi ot his meeting witb
him, too: That was brisk and frank
and soldier -like, ai any rate.
Young Todd sitiled in a galvanic
kind of fashion ,•and shifted his stick
from his righthand to his'left.
"There's 130 mischief done, uncle, and
there's uo mischief to prevent," he eaid
at last. .
"That's well. I'm glad of it." .
"The women -folk are 'foolish and
nervous about it. and-"
"About what ?" asked the Major, in-
terrupting him. ,
"About my going to the station and
having a little chat now and then -as
young fellows will, you know -with a
pretty woman. I dare 'bay you have
done it yourself in your day, undo."
"Hundreds of times," was the ready
.answer ; "but it was all fair -sailing,
Sir, Hind no false sentimert, or false
princilples behind it all. Do you under-
standlme ?"
"Yes -no -I -think so."
"1 entesn't fool enongh to fall in love
with any woman of that kind."
"I suppose not."'
"Are you?" •
"In love? Oh, no 1" said Edwin
Todelovith a feeble little laugh , "not
exactly '• that's not in; my line."
"Although, if I had been in love, I
sholibil have been man enough to own
it,": 4ontiuued the major. "There's
sonietlhing simple in it, but nothing elis-
gracetul, if it's an honest affection."
"Precisely," said Todd; " jut my
opiniin, uncle." .
"B• t you're uot in love ?" .
"N t I. . Not a bit, of that," said the
vulgar young Todd, with a rather feeble
laugh_
"You're too sensible a fellow, I hope." .
"I flatter nayself-I ani."
. "I'm very. glacl to hear it, Edwin, for
your mother's sake as well as your own;
but don't keep speaking with your teeth
closed ;_ it aggravates me," said the ma-
jor. ' "And now to the second and more
imOortant point. Are any of the girls
at the Junction in love with you, do
you think ?" .
Young Todd: blushed and. simpered,
and efien hazarded a wink at his uncle.
"1 shouldn't like to say; really,,one
can't -exactly, ypu know," .was his shy
end hesitating inanner. .
„
"I should say it was eextremely un-
likely "remarked the major, aftei look-
. , _ .
hag askance at his nephew; "but women
are easily flattered into thinking a man
is in -love with them, and. then their
silly heads are turned in all directions
but the right."
"That's their fault," Was young Todd's
comment. .
• "And their misfortune always poor
women. Why, I cOusider that a man .
evlio feigns an affection he does not feel,
and so misleads a ,girl out of her. sphere
to think of him, is an infernal scamp -
a most infernal scamp, Sir." 1
- "Why, yes," -said young Told, fairly
alarmed at this sudden exhi ition of
fierceness, "so 'he is, unless-" -

Unless what? Why on earth don't you

"I was goiug-but you wonldn't let
me finish, if you remember," answered
Edwin. • .
"Well, well., said the major impatient-
ly, "umless-" . i -
"Unless she encourages -him, and leads
him on -knows that he is not likely to
marry her, and still prefers his com-
pany to other fellows'. Don't You see?"
"I see a woman going fast to the
devil, then," said the major, "and I say
God.' help her ! that's all. But as for
the man, he's either a fool or it knave,
ancl I say God coufound him, with all
my heart. He doesn't deserve any

'"But we will have a lonabtalk over
this presently, now that wehave clear-
ed the . briers ancl brushwood away.
There's been alittle nonsense going on
at the refreshment bar; but I am glad
you tell me there's nothing • serious be-
tween you and that Daly girl." .
. "Serious !" said. young Todd, with
another unpleasant laugh; "of course

"Your mother will be -glad to hear it."
"I have told her so a thousand times
already," said Edwin,Todd, and. for the
first time rather sulkily. ;
"Ah!. but not as you have spoken te
me, as one. man can speak to .another,
face to face, and without -a lie between
•them," said the major.
"Yes -exactly." murmured the neph-
ew ;' but he did not meet his uncle
face to face then; but looked down
upon the flinty pathway of the old town,
and set his teeth closer' together than
ever.
