QUEENTR'S
CHAPTER
DARK DAYS.
"Cometh sunshine after rain;
After mourning joy again ;
After heavy, bider grief
Dawneth surely, sweet relief! •
And my soul, who from her height
Sunk to realms of woe and night,
Winged now to heaven her flight."
Lyra Germanica.
Emilie did not die, neither were her
physician's worst fears verified; bat
fur many a long week the frail existence
hovered between life and death.
When the lethargy had passed, a long
season of delirium intervened, and every
symptom of seve.re brain fever manifest-
ed itself. For weeks the little sufferer
failed te recognize the loving faces that
bent over her. Caleb Runciman spent
most of his_leisure hours beside the bed
side. holding the hand of his little favor-
ite, a .d gazing aorrowfully at the thin
flushed. face tossing so restlessly on the
pillow.
Sometimes Molly, with her pleasant
features and. brisk, homely Ways, would
come and watch through the long night,
that Queenie might eujoy a few hours'
repose. Caleb and his faithful Molly
weee the only visitors to the sick -room.
Miss Titheridge had pleaded once, al-
most with tears, to be allowed. to take
some part in the nursing, but Queenie
had sternly refused. Emmie shall see
no one hut those Who_ love her," was
the invariable reply.
Granite Lodge was deserted now;
Cathy and the other girls had long ago
gone home for the Christmas holidays.
Cathy clung to her friends, crying bit-
terly, when. the moment arrived for say-
ing good -by; but Queenie only' looked
at her with great weary eyes.
"1 shall go home and tell • Garth and
Langley everything. They will be sure
to ask you to come to us, after my Lon-
don visit in May, to stay with Us for a
long, long time."
" If Etamie be ever strong enough,"
began Queenie, but somehow- she could
not finish her sentence. She suffered all
Cathy's caresses passively, and then wept
back to her old place and laid her head
en Emmiess pillew.
It seemed as though nothing conld
rouse her from the strange apathy that
had crept over her after that terrible
night She heard almost without emo-
tion that Fraidein had been dismissed ;
only, as the luggage Wa8 brought down-
stairs, and she heard Miss Titheridge's
voice speakiug in a subdued Icey in the
corridor outside, she quietly left her
place and opened the door.
Fraulein Heimer was at the head of
the staircase in her travelling -dress; she
seemed petrified at the sight of Queenie.
The girl walked up to her and. laid her
hand OR her wrist. "Come here, Frau-
lein, I want you a moment,," she said,
quietly and strange to sail-, the wo-
man obeyed her without la *word, and
followed her to the threshold of the sick-
room; but Queenie wet* not suffer her
to enter. You can See your Work
froin here," she continued, in a suppress-
ed voice. "Alt 1 she is smiling at you;
She does not know you tied to be her
murderer."
"You are cruel; you wili have your
revenge, or yoa would not have brought
me here, meess." The woman's coarse,
`brutal nature was absolutely cowed- by
the spectacle of suffering innecence.
The child lay upon her pillow smiling
idly, and waving her emaciated arms to
and fro upon the coverlet; the fair hair
was closely shaven; the eyes dilated and
"1 have always longed for a cowslip
hall ; ask that fady to make me one,
mamma ; and strings and strings of
daisy -chains."
Why did you bring me hare, 'mess?
I will not stay. I will not look 1 Ach,
das arme Engelein ; ach gnadige
The wontan was trembling and
all but hysterieal. Queenie's detaining;
hand dropped from her wrist; her re-
venge was satisfied.
"1 wieit you to know how we suffered.
Some time, if Emmie gets well,, I shall
try to bring ms --sell to forgir,se you; but
not till then. There, go! she is calling
to me; she always calls me_ mamma."
It -wooli not he too much to say that
that siek-room became Queenie's world;
she knew literally nothing of what
passed antaide it. Cathy • wrote long
letters to her, but she seldom answered
them. One day she enclosed a note from
Langley.
My dear Miss Marriott," it began,
Cathy's glowMg description of her
friend makes us tang to; know you ; and
my brother and. I trust that you and
your dear little sister will be able to pay
us a visit in the early summer. We
know all your troubles, and wish that it
were in our power to lighten them—
"but here a restless movement from
Mamie disturbed her, and she laid the
letter aside.
Enunie's wanderings were rarely pain-
ful to the listener. A merciful oblivion
had stamped out the' memory of that
terrible night; generally her talk was of
the country. She imagined herself wan-
dering in beautiful places with her
mother and Queenie, gathering flowers,
or else picking upnhells and sea -weed an
the shore. Now and then there would
be a troubled lareak,—the waves were
threatening to engulf her, or a serpent
or strange -headed beast lurked among
tho flowers; at such times she would
grow restless, and it required all
Queenie'a efforts to tranquilize her, while
the constant cry of "Mamma, mamma,"
was pitiful to hear from the lips of the
metherIess child.
11 Mamma is here," Queenie would
answer, with loving falsehood, laying
the bloating face on her breast ; and
something of the intense mother -love
seemed really to pass into the girl's
heart.
Sheevas growing haggard and hollow-
eyed under the strain of the long nurs-
ing. The doctor shook his head and
remonstrated in Vain, and Caleb's en-
treaties were equalla- unavailing. "You
will be ill, Miss Queenie; every one
says so. You are up every night unless
Molly is here, and barely snatch an
hour's sleep in the twenty-four; you
are overtaxing your strength, and a
breakdown will be the consequence.
"1 shall not break down. as fong as
Emmie wants me," remarked the girl,
bravely, but her lip trembled as though
with weakness; she was becoming con-
scious that all this was becoming a ter-
rible effort,, that her strength would
not hold out forever. A sudden:noise
jarred upon her now, alai once or twice,
when her kind old friend was speaking
to her, she had great troulAe to refrain
from bursting into tears.
,'•.•;ometircies of an evening, when Caleb
was there, she would wrap herself in a
hhastl, and. walk up and down the stone
hall and corridors to allay her "nati ss-•
ness.;, sometimes the door Would o en,
and a red. -gleam shine out from iss
• Titheridge's snug parlor,where she s t in
the cosy fireside eirde with her frie dB. f
She looked -up oddly and half scare as
Queenie's '-white face glimmered ou of
the darkness, but she never in ted
her to enter, the girl had repulsed her
too surely for that..
The up -stairs corrider had'a winiow
at each end. Queenie was never wary
of pacing. this. Sometimes the mon-
hight flooded it, and she trod in a er-
fect pathway of light; once. or . t
she stood looking out on the sn
house -tops,. Shining imder the eerie 1- ght
of the stars ,
It seemed months .sinee-•sh-e had sa, .in
the curious carted afall in the cathec
since ahe had heard the Christmas an-
thema and Gounod's "Bethele n
months since she had 'stood beside the
old . man's chair, pleading for his wn
flesh and blood.
- Caleb had spoken to her once or tWice
of Mr. Calcott's strange and alan ing
seizure, He had kept his remit ver
since, and was considered in a sonies hat
critical state, lie believed. Que nie
heard him vaguely ; but no suspieim as
to the cause of his illness entered her
mind.
The only thing that really roused her
-was when triunie first feebly called her,
by her name. It was the night be Ore
the aids came back to school. Caleb had
not yet paid his evening visit, and the
sisters were alone.
'" Is that you, Queenie?" •Emmie lad
said. " I thought it was mamma." .nd.
Queenie had fallen on her knees and
murmured her thanksgiving with ft oils
of grateful tears.
I know Caleb, too," she had -s id,
later on, when the old:man came to her
bedside; • and something of the old
quaint smile flitted over. her face at the
sight of her favorite. ." Jlave t 1 een.
ill, Caleb? Queenie has 'been cr ing
dreadfully, and yet she says she is -ery -
happy."
Yes, my precious lamb,. you 1 ave
been very ill ; - and Miss Queenie t iere
has almost knocked herself up seith
nursing you ; but now' you, are goin to
-get well and strong," laying down the
little skeleton hand that coald I not r tise
"Hush, ray pretty e luish, . liss
Lamle, my dear, as a large tear s •ole
down the thin face ; you. Must not fret
now you are getting betters";
"1 am so sorry for my- 'Queen, My
poor, tired Queen," sobbed the eh ld;
but she avaa soon hushed. and com-
forted -.)y assurances, that Queenie vas
only tired., and would soon getrreste
'Emmie slept for hours after this; and
before Many -days Were over a faint but
steady progress was perceptible,. (1a by,
indeed, was shocked ether, appeata, CC,
and wondered if anything. so thin arid
unsubatantial. - could really be Em nie.
Emmie smiled at her, but was too eak
to speak more than a word or two..
• Otte day, .when she was well enou to
be raised into a sitting posture and
propped .ap with pillows, Caleb eat 'red
with a mysterious -looking basket;
om
whence - proceeded a faint scratc
sound; and, this being opemed,'. a s
long-haired _kitten, with eatioy p
wY
ing
nall
rky
face and bushy tail, crept mewing kto
Emmie's arms.
The child's delight and astenishi
at the sight of the "ong-coveted tree,
were almost overpowering, and
hugged the creature to her witl
speaking.
" Is it mine? is it really nine?
they let me keep it?" she gasped at ler
It is my belief that they would
you keep a whole menagerie, if s
Queen there chose to say she wished
returned Caleb, with a by Aram
hen; "some folks. are properly fri
med."
" Yes ; Miss Titheridge will let you -
keep it," replied her sister, quie ;
" you need not be afraid; she is
kind now, Emmie."
"Oh, yes, I know; when you are
down at your lessons she often comes
and sits with me; she brought me that
funny little man full of sweetmeats yes-
terday. I want to give same Of -then to
Cathy." -
Queenie knew of these 'surreptitious
visits, but she took no notice; _it needed
time to erase the memory of those years
of neglect and cruelty. Emmie:s sweet
nature knew no resentment; but with
Queenie it Was different. ,
She. saw that .Miss _ Titheridge was
afraid of her. " She has reason,"
thought Queenie; "she has injured me
deeply. If the time ever comes to get
rid of us both, she will do so gladly; but
I do not mean to give her the chance ;
I am determined to find work else-
where."
As soon as Emmie could safely be left
for an hour or two, Queenie resumed her
work in the school-rooin unasked ; now
and then she stole up -stairs for a peep
at the invalid. She soMetimes found
Emmie asleep with the kitten in her
arms, or surrounded by the pictures and
flowers which the girls lavished on her.
She would look up and say cheerily- , as
Queenie entered, "1 am not a hit ;
Cathy and Clarice have been up, . and
just now Miss Titheridge brought me
some jelly, and Isittie and I have had
such games;" and then Queen woukgo
down again with a.lightened heart to her
uncongenial task.
She often worked late into the night,
that she might devote more time to
Emmie. The child flagged and grew
weary towards evening, and theti
Queenie never left her. Long after all
the other inmates of Granite Lodge had
fallen into a refreshing sleep the young
governess would trim the shaded lamp,
and pore patiently over the pile of cc py-
books waiting for -correction. Even
when her head was on the pine* she
could not always rest, The future lay
da,rk. before her ; She must find other
*ark ; but where? that was the _eines-
tion.
Emmie was gaining strength day by
day, but for months, perhaps years, she
would require the greatest care. The
doctor's orders were stringent. She
must not open ft book for months ; the
brain would not bear -the slightest press
sluges; -811e must lead a child's unthinking
life, --eat, drink, and play, and, abok-e
all, sleep.
Minnie took very kindly to this if e -
gime. She spent Most of her time in
sleep; during the remainder of her
waking hours she would lie in languid
content watching the antics of her kit-
ten, or waiting for Queenie to -come ai d
talk to her.
Queenie made up her mind at last th
she' must speak to Miss Titheridge as d
one evening she entered the little !roe n
where the governess sat casting up li r
accounts for the last month.
She husked up a little amazed at ti e
