CONTINUED. Alba Tremain turned round to see the group bebind ber, who, in disarranging themselves, had fallen into natural attitudes. .Donovan heti taken Neste. on hie shoulder, 'Gladys was. holding up a rose which the little girl had dropped, and for which she now stretched' out one fat, dinipled band, while Donovan, by sudden and unex- pected movements, always prevent- ed her from teaching it. "There ! that will do!" said the dodo'. "Stand exactly as you are Keep still, and don't leugh, Neste. Now then. Half a minute's breathless sil- ence followed, Neste relieving her- self by holding on with desperate firmness to Donovan's hair, and nearly upsetting Gladys's gravity by the resolute way in which she pressed her lips -together to prevent the laughter from escaping. The moment they were released there was a chorus of inquiry - who had moved? who had kept stilll who had ensiled'? while Donovan, Gladys, and Neste relieved them- selves by a hearty laugh over the , difficulty and absurdity of their positions. "If I come out with a right eye- brow drawn up like a Chinese, and an expression rof Byrenic gloom, you will understand that it is all Nesta's fault," said Donovan. "Re- member from henceforth, Neste, that hair should be lightly hand- led." "And now I shall det my rose," shouted Neste, triumphantly, mak- ing a sudden raid downward. She succeeded this time, captured the rose, and after much teasing on Donovan's part and baby coquett- ing on _hers, ended by fastening it in his button hole. The doctor returned in a few minutes in a stete of great excite- ment. The negative was excellent. He would not trouble them to sit again; but he wanted Donovan to help him in some of the mysterious processes in the little back den he had consecrated to bis new hobby. By the time this work was over it was nearly four o'oback. Thg doctor was called out, and Donovan, finding there were visitors in the drawing room, sauntered out again with a book under his arm. In the orchard,' howevel°, he unexpectedly found Gladys. She was sitting at the little rustic table under the Old apple tree, her sleeves tacked up, her white hands busily engaged stoning son.e peaches which were piled up on a great blr wiHow pattern dish in front of her-. She made a very pretty picture sitting there in her cool creamy - white dress, a stray sunbeam glanc- ing every now and then through the flickering leaves above, and making (mild of her brovin hair. "You should have been photo- graphed with your dish of peaches," said Donovan, drawing up a garden „chair to the other side of the table. "Cook is indespair about the pre- serving, so I'm getting these ready for her," exclaimed Gladys. "Have some won't you?" "Isio'thank you; I'm no fruit-. eater ; but let me help you." "Read to me, and then I shall work faster. Mother and I were reading George Eliot's Spanish Gyysy ; do you know it ? Oh! but you have a book, I see; read me that instead," Donovan laughed. "I'm afraid you would scarcely thank me for reading you Heath's 'MinoriSurgery.' Let me have the 'Spanish Gypsy.' You are near the -end, I see; just give me an idea about the charts -eters. Who is Don Silver "Be is a Spanish nobleman in love with -Fedalama, the daughter of a Moorish, chiet. Silva renounces Christianity, and promises to serve and obey the Moor, so that he may not be separated from, Fedalama. This is the place." She handed Po- book to him, and Donovan, tak- 1 g it, began the scene in which Don Silva, tortured by seeing the martyrdom of Father Isidor, breaks his promise of fealty to the Moor. He Was ndt exactly a good reader; be was sometimes abrupt, sometimes hurried, but he had a beautiful voice, which went far toward mak- ing up for any other defects. As he read the wonderful parting scene between Silva and Fedalama, when in obedienc? to the will of the dead chief, and for the good of the Moor- ish people, they agree to part for- ever, Gladys felt that his whole soul was being thrown into what he read. Involuntarily het hands ceased their mechanical , work. Though she could hardly have explained the reascn to herself, this reading was becoming a slow agony to her.- Donovan's face was kindling with enthusiasm; there was an almost terrible ring in his voice as he read the closing scene. She knew that while her heart was crytng Out against the bitterness of such a re- nunciation, be was feeling only its beauty and worth. Neither of them spoke when the poem was finished; Donoyan, as if engrossed with it still, and forgett- ing that he was not alone, turned the pages over again, reading half 11, .

But, Sir, We not said where be /Is, VXcept there being efooldon$ marked Pp the front of the letter. Knetvire ye knew the place 1 thought I'd ask ye how I fincl the lad. London's a -Me place, ain't it ?-a sight bigger than Portlakerran ?" Donovan smiled a little. "Yes, Trevethan. I'm afreid it'll be very hard to find hint. I'll do my best to help you, though; tell tne wbat be is like." The blacksmith's powers of de- scription were not great. He knew that Jack was "fine and big," but could not tell the color of his eyes more anxious to speak uneoncerned- or any single peculiarity in his ly. She hurried out the first trite manners or appearance. sentence which came into her bead. :"You must not be too hopeful," satd Donovan; "but I will keep my eyes ahd eara open, and do all I can for you; I am afraid, though, the only chance of your finding him will be his own voluntary return." "Thank ye, sir; I'm obliged to ye for your help," said the blaoksmith. "And as to hoping, as long as we're sure our hopesis runnite the same way as the Lord's I reckon we can't be too hopeful." Donovan did not speek. He had had many a talk with the old Corn- ishman, had lometimes laughed at the quaint phrases of Ins Methodism, but had always admired and reve- renced the man's unswerving faith -faith which had stood faskthrough countless troubles and losses. He could not help shrewdly surmising that his hope as to finding his son would never be fulfilled, and yet, as he watched the blacksmith's con- tented face, he felt that his strong faith in the inevitable Right which ruled all things was a very enviable possession. After a little further conversation as to the aearch for Jack, the smith took up his batumer again, and Donovan took leave of him, and set out once more on his solitary walk. The interruption had quilted him for the time, but, as the con- sciousness of his pain returned to him, the contrast -between his own state of conflict and Trevathads quiet trust forced itself on him. -- This unlettered, ignorant old man had the knowledge which he was hungering and thirsting for, the feith which he would have given the world to possess. But then with a sudden sharp pang carne the full recollection of all that had happened, and his mind became capable of only two ideas -Gladys and pain. He threw himself down on the grassy slope bordering the cliff, and for a time allowed those two presences to work their will on him. Gladys, with her appealing blue eyee'her wistful plea for happiness, apd an agonizing consciousness that sorrow and separation must come. As he grew quieter, or rether, as his thotogiote became more clear,lie 'saw as distinctly as he had done when speaking to her in the orchard that union betweep them was impossible. He remembered the sense of separ ation that had come to him when Dot had first drifted away into those regions of thought into which he could not follow her. She had not suffered much from their differ- ence of thought, it was true, but then she Clad been a little child, and there had been only a very few months of that divided thought and interest. If she had been old- er, his atheism raust have been both a sorrow and a perplexity to her. Should he bring such a sor- row into -Gladys's lifel---should he lay upon her pure heart such a burden as he had to bear? Never! All the man in him rose at such a thought. It should never be! He got up and began to pace rapidly to and fro, his hands locked tightly together. It was no use idly to wish that he had nevei)seen her; he must go away now; at once - that much was clear. She must learn to forget him. "Oh! I hope there are not many Fedalmas in the world !" her pleading tones rang in his ears, and his hands were clinched more tightly as he realized the pain he must in any case give her. He must go'but it was bard - bitterly hard. His love was strong and true, no mere weak sentiment- ality; but it is, a cruel tax on lave to Choose the very plan that will inflict pain on the loved ona. The pain may be salutary, wise, necess- ary for future happiness, but the infliction is keenest suffering. He knew that he should always love her, but his love must be kept in, restrained; a poor, cramped kind of love it would be, for he could never serve her. Deliberately, of his own accord, be must cut himself off from all but the pain of love. - Unless, indeed, this bitter 'pain proved to be of service. There might come a time when she would bless him for what he had done. - Some day, when with a husband, one with her in every way, and children of her own learning from their father's lips the first lessons of the faith, might she not then bless him for the pain of the present? Might not this be his "duteous ser- vice?" this the "steep of honed" But Donovan, was very human; the thought of his own suffering began to appeal to him. The thought of life ° without Gladys would come before Mtn. It hung round bim like a heavy pall, abut- ting out all brightness, all hope of future happiness, all hope -so he thought -of ennobling himself. - For was not she the light he had "It is so tenthly sad." "Yes, sad but grand." Somehow, as he spoke, Gladys was constrained to look at Mtn, and, as she met his graye, deep eyes, there rose in her an inexplic- able longing to make him express at least pity for the suffering in- volved by this sacrifice he so much admired "But surely, surely it was a cruel thing to sacrifice their very lives to an only possible good?" she said pleadingly. "I don't think you put it quite truly," he replied. "They re- nounced their own happiness for the general good of that generation certainly, probably of many gen- et atione." "You speak of happiness as if it were such a little thing to give up," said Gladys. "I suppose it is self- ish to think of it, but -but ---oh, I hope there are not many Fedalrnas in the world !" She was quite unconscious of the pain which lurked in the tone of this almost passionate utterance; she scarcely knew that it was an aching dread in her own heart which prompted her words; she only felt constairted by some un- known- power to plead with Dono- van. But it was at that very moment when she herself wag:leak conscious in the present of her love to him'that he realized the truth. He had hitherto loved her as an ideal, loved her with little thought of the future, never eveneframed to himself the idea that she could pos- sibly love him. Now there surged over hini a very flood of bliss -joy such he had never imagined pos- sible. In one instant countless visions of dazzling happiness rose before him. She, his ideal, his lueen, loved him! How he knew it he could not have explained, but he did know it. Had -his unspoken love cloawn.ber heart to Isis? }row came it that she loved him? Oh ! unspeakable rapture ! one day she mioht be all his own! But the moment that thought of the future came to him it was as if an icy hand had suddenly clutch- ed -ilia heart. The dazzling visions faded, _and in their place was only a horror of great darkness, out of which, like a death knell, bis own cqpscience spoke. "There is no possible union for you. You would bring her the worst of miseries, perhaps even drag her down to your own hope- less creed." He was too much stunned to think; but for some time now he had been clinging blindly to duty, had said to conscience, "Call and I follow," and even in the confusion and anguish of that moment it was made clear to bim what he ought to do. With an effort of will he banished every trace of his real feelings from his face and tone, and answered as quietly as be could Gladys' last -remark. "r didn't mean to underrate hap- piness, though it certainly is not meant for everyone in the world, unless we find that sacrifice itself is the most real happiness, but 1 have not found that yet." Then, pushing back his chair, he added: "I think. I shall go over to St. Kerrans. I want a good long walk. Can I do anything for you ?" "Nothing, thank you," said Gladys, mechanically taking up and putting down one of the peaches. Donovan whistled to Waif and walked away in the direction of the house. Gladys sat motionless "till the sound of his footeteps died away into silence; then, pushing aside the willow pattern dish and the fruit, she hid her face from the light and burst into tears. Although he had spoken of walk- ing to St. Kerrans, Donovan was too much stunned to know or care in what direction he went. He closed the front door behind him and strode rapidly through the vil- lage, up the steep hill, and along the road leading to the forge. Tre- vethan, the blacksmith, had become & great friend of bite to -day, how- ever, he had not the slightest inten- tion of going to see him, and, in fact, did not even know that he was passing the forge till the black- smith's voice fell on his ear. "Mr Farrant, I was wanting to speak to ye, sir. Can ye step in a moment 1" "Yes," said Donovan, though he hltd never felt less inclined to speak to any human being. "Well, sir, you see,it's this way,' began Trevethan, putting down his hammer, and folding his arms as if in preparation for.a lengthy speech. "I've told ye all about my son Jack as left home six years ago, and as I :Pitcher's Castoria. Children Cry for looked to, the pante:had set befo bind New everything was eh out. Plank shd black, dreary a , hopeless, lite stretched out bete hitu. A8 he paced up and down battlin with himself, hie attention w .drawn to the little strip of betioh the foot of the cliff, Two ohildre were there, laughing, shouting,wa bog their hands to a fisherman wh woe just nearing the shore h h boat. The keel grated on the peb blots'the man among out. He ha not had good luck, his lobster po had been empty; but, in spite of i his voice was hearty and obeerf as he hailed the little ones. Don van saw them run to meet him beard their ory of "Father! father! Another sore regret surged in upo himthen. He could never have child of his own; no child woul ever call him "father." He migh love and be beloved by other peo ple's children, but the fatherhood which the honest fisherman coul enjoy might never be his. An then tbe terribly tempting though of what might be, the hauntin happiness of the home, the wife the might be his, came again to him e e with double force. It is not so hard to bear what th force of circumstances brings; th Christian, the Fatalist, the Agnes tio, all from a variety of reasons learn the sort of endurance which life can hardly fail to teach, and endure joyfully, abjectly, or dogged- ly. But Zeliberately to choose the pain, thatris not easy, not easy be- cause it is God -like, Only by slow, painful degrees' can we fight our way upward and break loose from the clinging hold of self-love. Donbvan had now fully faced all sides of this great question of his life; again he came to the decision which must be made at once and forever. And now for the second time out of the depths he sent up a cry to the Unknown. No sense.of sin" had prompted either of those hardly conscious appeals. His first prayer had been that Dot might be taken from him into peace, his se- cond that he might have strength of will to leave Gladys. That will of his which hat failed -he distrusted it now. The battle ended at last. Slow- ly and firmly he pronounced the "I will" which muet banish him forever from all that he loved. The sun was just setting when he reached St. Kerrans. He had struck inland from the Porthkerran Cliff Road, and had gone across country, Waif following him through stubble fields and over hedges and west country walls with untiring perseverance. The shops in the little town were still open, for it was market day. Donovan went as usual to the post office, and there to his surprise found a letter for himself -an exceedingly rare event. He opened it and read- the contents with- as much curiosity as he was capable of feel- ing about anything just then. "S- House Freshwater,I. W. "August, 27. " M Y DEAR DONOVAN,-You may very possibly have forgotten an old friend of yours, who, howeVer, has often thought of you in the long interval which has passed since we met. I saw your cousin, Miss Adele Farrant a few weeks ago, and she told me of your whereabouts. I am very glad you are thinking of en- tering the medical profession. Has your vacation begun • yet? If so, will you not come and upend a week- or two with me? Plenty of boating and fishing for you, and as much or as little as you like of an old man's society. "Yours very truly, "H. G. EIAYES. "P. S. -I am only here for three weeks, so come at once if you can.' Here was a real help to his re- solution - an invitation which would blind the Tremains to the strangeness of his abrupt departure. He looked at his watch; it only wanted two Or three minutes to the time when the telegraph office closed. Should he go back and send the message which would fix his fate? He wavered a minute, but finally returned to the office, snatched up pencil and paper, and feeling much as if he were signing his own death warrant, wrote the following words: "Your letter for- warded to me from London. Many thanks for invitation. I will come to -morrow evening." The telegram dispatched, he set off at a sharp pace for Porthkerran'along the familiar roads which had so many associations for hint -the first meeting with Dick, his last return to Trenant only a month ago, and -most vivid recollection of all - that drive with the doctor one Sun- day evening in September, when they had spoken of his doubts and difficalties, when Dr Tremain had spoken's() hopefully, so confidently of the light which could come to him, Poor Donovan! he did not feel any such confidence now. Black darkness seemed gathering round Mm. In renouncing Gladys he felt that all which had hitherto been most hopeful to him would be swept away, that he should be left alone to face "the spectres of the mind." Happily he saw the clang- er of dwelling on this thought, however, and, putting it from -him, strode rapidly along, vrondeting how he could best veil his feelings from Gladys, or arouse least aus- picion in the minds of her parents. At last, in the twilight evening, he reacheefrenant. How little he had dreamed that the sight of the gabled house, with its mantling ivy Pitcher's Castor. and cheerful lighted windewe,woul ever give his bow soha 8tab Q paia,I' Well, be rum think as II tle,4 he 0414, and juet do.

"Were you are at last 1" was tbe general exclamation. "Where have you been'? .And how tired you look I" "It was very rude of me to out dinner," said Donovan, shaking hands with the admiral, "but I felt inclined for a good long walk." "After your cramping position in the photograph, I euppose," said the doctor, laugcing. "You are in great disgrace with Neste, though, for having gone without wishing her good night." 7 BxotegitZT,4 VEITORINAINg 131:011. eronovary Otettetrate of theontatio f rant tdraYterantthr9rttlar= ts-- and itetausidflotgrinolpte. .0010414domesiktik "You will have souse supper now?" aaid Mrs Tremain, with her band on the bell. "No4thank you," said Donovan. "I really want nothing. Let me have the rest of the evening with you all, for I am afraid this will be my last." "Your last evening !" exclaimed the doctor, greatly astonished. "Well, at St. Kerrans I found a letter from a very old friend of mine -Mr Hayes a neighbor of ours at Oakdene. He is staying in the Isle of Wight, and wrote to ask if I could come down and see him. His time is limited, so I was obliged to answer him at once and komise "How beastly 1" exclaimed the two school boys. "Must you really go to -morrow?" (add Kis Tremain, regretfully.

"It is very disrnal indeed," said the doctor. "However, I suppose we must grin and beai it.. You will come down for the next long vacation, anyhow.
