" it is a. good wOrk, a noble work,and
it would be grievous if anything were to

of the sentence unfinished.
And so it was that Mr. Logan get the
following little missive the next morn-

Logan looked extremel Perplexed.
. You must not be too hard on &girl's

"Oh, it was a whim, then ?" with a
dawning perception.of ;the truth.
"Yes, it was just that," rather hast-
ily. " You see, I did not want the
money, and it rather vexed mg, coming
in such quantities arid when eve ything

"Ah, well, it is a pretty piece of girl-

"but I must say I thought my school-

"And you are disapi pointed in her ?"

"But, my dear young lady, there- can

"Ah., but there is a very important

" Perhaps so ; but after a time hawill

"Why, I have thought of that too,"
she went on, excitedly, "But we can

count, —that can be done in the next

to hint at her reluctance.. rt pleased
her to feel that the secret bounty was

"Miss Cosie !" eiclaimed, Queenie,
very much startled. " Oh, Mr. Logan,

Miss Cosie's absence of mind and mis-
takes were even more •proverbial in
Hepshaw than her brother's: t 0 ami-
able blunders she had committe«luring

were simply innsimerable. . •
- "Why, of course ave must tell Char-

Charlotte manages all the vicaratge, you
know, and her first words would be
sure to be, `-Dear me, Christopher, we

our purses. We have never dealt in
romance and mystery as you have done,
and I am bound to confess that the
piece of diplomacy you have intrusted
to me is far beyond my powers. The
ruse is ao transparent that Garth would
see through it in a moment.",
"Oh, no," she returned, clasping her
hands: "you must not fail me,? Mr.
and discreet": a hint may spoil every-
thing. At any rate,you must not speak of
it to her until the money has been offered
to Mr. Clayton."
"Oh, no, I !will gaarantee as much as
that. I am almost as anxious ea, you

few more words, he got -up and took his
leave.

JEAN INGELOW. 1 I • I
neenie was terribly restless during
the next few days. Wl&e the im-
por ant negotiation was iMpending see
aloof as =eh as possible from her
friends at Church -Stile House,. She
could scarcely leok Garth in the face
when she met him in the village, so
heavily did her secret weigh upon -her.
She had been once to, see Langley, and
had sat with her, some time; but their
talk had languished, and at last de-
generated into silence. Langley had
been too sad and'heayy-hearted to make
any pretence of cheerfulness, and
Queenie had been so oppressed with
secret consciousness that she had failed
in outward manifestations of syilnpathy.
" If our talk would only mend mat-
ters you would have no reason to com-
plain of my silence," Langley said by
way of excuse for her downheartedness, _
when Qu_eenietrose to take leave
" One cannot always talk; 1 wish I
were only as patient as you," had been
Queenie's reply. 1 But she breathed more
freely when she had crosted the little
bridge and was 1 walking down he lane
in the gray, waning light.
But Cathy came to the cottage, and
was so low spirited, and drew such dis-
mal pictures of the future, that Emmie,
who was weakly and tender hearted,.
burst out crying, and for a long Ulu&
refused to be comforted.
— Oh, Queen, if we were but rich l"
sobbed the poor child f; "how nice it
would be to help them ! • I I can't bear
to think of Langley and Cathy working
as you used to work at GranitaTLOdge,
and being hungry.andcold and nibierable.
