"Nancy--if ever you should want-- help--help of any sort, send to me there. You will not call on me in vain." He pushed a scrap of paper--in reality one of his cards, crumpled up by his nervous fingers--into 'her hand, and at that very moment the dogs growled, there was a soft, stealthy footstep, and an ominous- ly quiet voice rang in their ears: "My master is inquirin' for you, Mrs. Crawshaw." Nancy drew. her hand hurriedly, from Darnley's hold, while every' drop of blood receded from her face. ¢"J--I am coming,' she said faint- ly. "Tell your master I am com- ing, Fenton." Konton, otherwise William, the discharged servant from the Hall, -stood perfectly still; but his. pale eyes went first to the array of dogs, and then rested on the stalwart: form standing beside his mistress. | A sudden rush of passion filled Mr. Darnley's breast. i There was something in the man's manner which roused his anger'to ~ its' uttermost; he also seemed to have some remembrance of the sal- low, insolent face.

She had not been his wife three days before she awoke to the fact that, cruel and contemptible as she had imagined this man's nature to be; she had not done one quarter's justice to the despicable, mean, cowardly spirit of the creature it was her lot to call husband. She had often, back in the old days, heard her aunt, in eulogiz- ing Thomas Moss, call him a careful man; but no amount of imagining could have summed up the full dis- gust which his daily, hourly deeds of meanness woke in Nancy's breast. She had been glad to leave Lon- don, where they had only stayed a week, abandoning ihe continental trip as being altogether too expen- hope that she would speak, then he turned on .his heel and walked swiftly back through the sombre trees, the rank weeds and grass, to the iron-fringed gate which he had poor fellow, whither his leap would lead him. Nancy listefied co his footsteps dy'ng away, then all the pent-up strength, courage, longing, despair and boundless love burst its bonds. Oh, it is all too much for me! can't bear it!--I can't bear it!" She put her folded arms against the old trunk, and buried her hot eyes on them. "If J might to herself. CHAPTER XX.

If she had only been per- mitted to lock herself in her rooms, and hide 'her face from the astcn- ished and amused glances of the servants, who soon gauged the great man at his true worth! But this did not please Mr. Craw- shaw. He had not married a wife {meant to flaunt her as well as the 'reat of his possessions in the eyes of the world. In all this Baines would have been more than a comfort to the poor girl ; but Baines was gone, and "a French-woman, engaged she knew not by whom, was in the faithful 'woman's place, to help Fenton, the valet, in his self-allotted task-- cy could not tell--of spying on her every action, and reporting the same to their master. _ She had welcomed the departure from London more than words could express. Away from the pub- lic gaze she would grow stronger, more able to bear the horror of herself and her life. So she had reasoned with herself; but she had reckoned without her host. Co. In all her dreams she could not have imagined a more miserable ex- istence than that which followed on her arrival at the Manor- House. She found herself, to her amaze- ment and 'her fear, mothing less than a prisoner, with an impertin- ent maid on one side as a jailer, and Fenton as a second on the other. 3 eon ; .
