deielx that afternoon Was like a magi -

missionto,that Saered enclosure'with
its palm -groves, its scents of lime and
orangetflowers, the enchantment of
its tuberose perfumes, its tranquil
coolness; and -the glowing splendors of

admission to Paradise. Think what
it mustbe, when treading some dusty
highway atter a, hot and trying pilgri-

of everyday duties, all of a sudden to
see thet,stuning portals of Paradise

of an angel melody, to see the great
river role its splendor between the
blossomed banks, to breathe trip odors,
tZi hear the music to taste the golden
cludedewqr1 would die away, and ev-
fruit. ;Surely noises of the ex -
en the thun ers of conscience might
roll unheeded in the dark forgotten
distance.
So itlwas with Philip; for a while he
was dazed and spell -bound. He could'
not help meeting her in thatlimited
circle, and going to' the house often
seemed to be a safeguard against keen-
er, more ethereal emotions. And
When the distant thunder -roll of con-
science did make itself faintly heard,
he took refuge in the distance between
them, 'and especially in her changed
bearing toward him. The impulsive-
ness of the frank girl in the ball -room,
the friendly candor of the days of
peril, had given way to the dignified
condescension he remarked when she
conferred the white rose upon him, as
a princess might confer some order of
knight -hood. In the reading and sing-
• ing at home, in the dancing or talking
in society, the princess manner was
never dropped; she was sweet and
geniaLebia always condescending.
The fascination cif the East had Mk --
en Philip's imagination as it had taken
Ada's; and more than this fascination,
the deep interest which both had in
those dusky, graceful people with theft
ancient civilization and religions, their
venerable literature, picturesque his-
tories and customs, bound them to-
gether, and many an earnest conversa-
tion (lathe quartet, Ada, her father
and brother and Philip, hold upon
Indian history, tradition and litera-
ture, and neon the destiny and duty
of England in the peninsula during
those brief paradisaic weeks.
"I cannot imagine what your father
'
can see in those horrid natives," Mrs
Maynard frequently said to her daugh-
--ter-Matrele-"especially- after they -have -
shown themselves such fiends. As for
Ada, it is positively unwomanly of her
to mix in such conversation. She is
nearly twenty, and will never marry
anybody else, I suppose.". By which

at least good enough for a girl who
had reached years so mature without
- so much as an engagement. "She has

elegantly observed.

wife in a mement of confidence. "You

laenporebeisiness would be awkward.

besides, this young fellow will rise.
He has not only talent and character,
but has been Kicky enongh to get him-
self recognized in the right quarter.
Lord Blank has taken him up and
means to make use of him. As for
birth, Ada has that: besides. grand-
- fathers have gone out of fashion."
• "But peo-ple at least have fathers
still," urged Mrs Maynard, whose
own father was,a nineteenth baronet.
"Not necessailly; with talent and
luck the want of a father rather en-
hances a ina,n's personal distinction."
"But he has neither family, interest,
nor money," sighed Mrs Maynard.
"He has at least no family hind-
rabees, and Lord Blank's interest is
omnipotent. As for money, enough
will come. Besides, my dear, Ada
will never marry at all, unless she has
her own Way about it."
"True: and an old maid in India, is
too terrible a disgrace," Mrs Maynard
soikowfully agreed.
Philip knew very well that Lieuten-

CHAPTER' in
A LETTER FROM NOME
Philip was riding slowly home one
evening after a duty visit to a distant.
village, his horse was tired, so he rade
with a. loose rein absorbed in such
thougAiteias that kind of motion fay,.
ors. He !was expecting, even dreading,
though he did not like to own it, a
letter from home; this mad dream
must end then:He had just received
a hint that he might be in trusted.with
a mission taking hinx horn Myserabad
for weeks or months. Besides the
earoepeet of advancement this afforded
him, it would take him from tempta-
tions which daily and hourly became
more powerful; so he was tooth sorry
and glad. Suddenly the sound of
clattering hoofs and the startled cries
of some native attendants .roused him
from his reverie, and turning, he saw
a runaway horse, ridden by a lady,
and the lady's hair streamed on the
wind Of their furious speed, the rider
sat well and was pulling with all her
might. He had but time (to recognize
in the pale face, flashing eye, and firm
set mouth, the features so seldom ab-
sent from his mind, when the clashing
of elephant bells was heard, and the
richly ocaparisoned elephant of a na-
tive nobleman, preceded by servants
and carrying a gayhowdah on its
mountain of a back issued from the
shadow. a pope tall trees concealinger,
bend of the road and caused Miss May-
nard's mare which was new to tuella
and terrified at these walking castles,
to swerve violently and leap a low
stone wall by the roa,dside.
Philip, who had stopped petrified at
first sight of the runaway and was
close by the swerve and leap, could
hear the mare's hoofs strike on the
wall and the ,heavy double crashof
her fall as her hind quarters rose to
the jump.
He turned in his saddle with sick ap-
prehension, then sprang down and
cleared the wall, on the other side of
which the ground eloped steeplyand
saw the mare steuggling to her feet at ,
_thaeleetemir. pf the little declivity, to
which she liWgia-ilieheerestrugglea•
after her tumble.
Ada lay at the foot of a tree; he
supposed her head must have struck
it m the fall. A red mist came before
his eyes, he hastened blindly to her
side. Her hat had fallen off, her face
was quite white, her head slightly
drooping to one shoulder, her arms
were flung helplessly, one above her
head the other abroad downward, the
wild hair mingled with them; she did
not, stir a limb, she seemed not to
breathe; he thought she was dead.
He knelt down and raised her in his
trembling arms, feeling her pulse and
.vaguely observing that there was no
bloodon he nor any sign of broken
bones. We called her by her- Waite -
and kissed her, and it seemed to him
that some time Must have elapsed be-
fore there was a little sign, a faint
quiver, then he saw the dark eyes
open..
She raised 'her head" "end' iiiadt
effort to rise, his firm clasp relaxed,
and with a little help she stood on hen
feet and moved and felt her arms.
"Oh! there is nothing the matter,"
she said, with a smile and a gradual
return of color. "But you, you look
so pale and strange. I arn so confused
and giddy. My head."
"Sit down, you are hurt," he cried.
Then he placed her gently on the
ground with her back against the tree,
and knelt by her side and fanned her
with his cap.
Their servants had in the meantime
come up, water was fetched, the run-
away horse carreht and brought back,
and Ada, who hid been exhausted by
her long struggle with the mare, and
stunned by a blow which raised asmall
swelling on her head, gradually be-
came herself again.
"I do think I must be a kind of cat,"
she saidilaughing, and looking up with
a sort of shy confidence that he had
never seen before. "I always come to
life again. whatever happens!"
"Why will you ride that beast," he
complained, "she is not fit to carry a
lady."
"She is a darling. A Hindoo pro-
cession frightened her and the elephant
drove her distracted. Colleen Hawn
is afraid of elephants."
He took care to have the saddle
transferred from the darling's back to
that of his own tired horse, when he
found that Ada intended to ride home,
and himself mounted the Colleen
Hawn, who was too much blown for
any more cantrips. Ada made no ob-
jection to this arrangement, allowed
him to lift her into the saddle and ad-
just her habit, which he did without
looking up, and when this was done,
and he was on the runaway,they
started homeward at a walk, in the
last rays Of the sinking sun
They' rode abdut a mile and a half' in
sileriee, broken only mice or twice by
Philip's inquiries if she was torarro
enough, for the air was sharpening.;
if the motion hurt her, all of whichhe
did with a eertain air of connsainetiOn,
as if he had been the cause of the acci-
eident; and to vrhjeh Ada replied itt a

Home letters had arrived; he was in
no hurry to open thein: Was there not

he , had' held her, like's .child, in his
arms, had kissed her urirehuked-,-but -

with ' anguished pleasure Of touching

helping her to gather the disordered

alone in the world,' together:, now 40
then, bound forever by a solemn pro-
mktunt°deYpMengeeclalvetters lay on the Wile
before him, their white fades offering
a perpetual mute reproach; but the
low rich sounds of A.da's voice were
still in his ears, and he still felt the
throb of her returning -life beneath his
hattd;,,he buried his fade in his hands
and the long eyelashes slimly parting
and the wonder of the dark eyes in the
sudden flash • of returning conscious-
ness. She looked so happy. He would
give the whole world that Ada should
not love hire; and yet it would be like
death to know she did not. At last he
plucked his. hot face from his hands,
pushed back his ruffled hair and stood
up. The letters were few, there was
none from Jessie, and he was glad, he
would feel like a traitor if he read a
letter of hers just then. Theywere
business letters, some on Jessie's ac-
count, one on his own,- he read them
studiously, hoping to cool the fever
that consumed him. The last was
from a friend, it had the Marwell post-
mark, and was in Mr Ingleby'e hand-
writing.
"Gld Ingleby," he cried, "if he were
but here for one half-hour!"
Yet what would Mr Ingleby think if
he could see into his heart? Many a
time he had asked his advice, both as
boy and man, from the days when he
went to tea in Mr lngleby's rooms and
wondered to see a grown man eat so
many slices of bread and jam, until
the landlady one day told him it was
because he had given his dinner away
to some poor inan or woman, and
grumbled that there was no pleasure
in looking after the comforts of such a
discomfortable gentleman. He open-
ed the letter, foreboding no evil, and
read:
"DRAB. RANDAL:-You will wonder
why in the world I am writing to you,
and when you have discovered the
reason perhaps you will wonder why I
did not write before, unless, indeed,
.youarateomieelemeddlere heather men's
concerns."„
Be read on and turned red, still on
and turned pale, and when he had
finished, his face was gray and con-
tracted in lines of pain.
HIS blood throbbed in his ears with a
doll sound like the old familiar throb,
throb of the mill, he saw the dark
water break to diamond -dust in, the
slow wheel, smelt the homely scent of
corn and meal, saw the kind faces in
the sunshine and firelight, and: re-
membered all the pleasant peace of
his youth. The yearning, unspoken
tenderness, as of some dumb animal,
in Matthew Meade's eyes, seemed to
follow_him everywhere through_
those boyish scenes, the mingled ap-
peal and trust in his dying eyes stab-
bed him to the heart with perpetual
poignancy; again he felt the tremulous
fingers relax their hold on the clasped
hands of Jessie an. :hhwetf., and chill
his marrow with their icy touch. How'
young, how utterly alone and defence-
les.s Jessie was! And he had not un-
derstood the half -articulate cry in her
letters, He would read that last let-
ter offering release again. But he
could not; he had torn it up.
