Id the qaiet evening time, as she paced rett- letuily through the empty roomn, sbethout^ht of a pUoe si refoi>e whect tbe mii^t rest miaiy for a little. The moment tbe «arri»^« had tamed the corner, and slie ooald aee it no longer, she had takea the letter from tbe drawer and laid it on tbe table. Such an innocent, pitiful little letter it SIR HUGH'S LOVES. And it was for tbii that the had come back to him tnroagh -The Valley of the Shadow of Death," brin(jingber baby with her. Borne Btrar-ge feverish power seemed to enter into bcr and give her a titfol strength. She tat down at her husband's dtsk and began writing rapidly, and as the thoaghtt came to her ; and when iHk bad haitbed, â- he enclosed her letter with the torn frag- ment, and, after addressing it, sealed it carefully. As she did so the beard foot- steps approaching tbe library, and slipped it hurriedly into the open drawer, and the next moment Sir Hugh entered with a tele- gram in his hand. " I have been looking all over the place for you. Fay," he began, hurriedly, 'and not a soul seemed to know where you were. Look here , I have just had this telegram from Fitz. He wants me to come op to town at once. I believe we have to start earlier than we intended." And at Fay teemed to have no answer r«ady, he went onâ€" "I am BO vexed about it, my pet, for I meant to have driven you o\9T to I'ierrepoiut after luncheon : you looked so pale this momini;, and I had to arrange about so many things. Well, it cannot be helped ; Baville is packing my ' Gladstone,' and I have not a moment to lose." " Do you mean you are going off to Egypt now ?" asked Fay, hardly able to articulateâ€" her lips had grown ijuite white. What if tbe should be too late after all'. " Egypt, indeed ! What a child yon are. Fay ; one can never make you understand things. No, I am going ap to London to fet what I want, and meet Egerton and 'owis, the other fellows who are to join us. I shall sleep at the Club to-night, and you may expect me to be down to dinner to- morrow, Xhe ne.\t day " here he hesi- tated; " wtll. there is time enough to talk of saying good-bye then." ^ ' Yes, yea, I understand now. iio aad get readv . and, Hugli. don't forget to kiss babT.' â-  ' All rifht, ' be laaghe<l good homoradly : and then Pay stood >iuite still, holdiuff tbe table, till he ctsire back. " My (raps are 111 the ball; I must say good-bye quickly, darling." How hand- tome. how well he looked. as he stooped over her with his plaid over his arm. He need not be fearful of her detaining him; there was no clinging, no agony of weeping this time. She pot her two haadt round his neck and held Iimu for a moment, at her cold lii>s itfuchcd hw. and then stoo>i qnite still and waved to him--sadly iiuietly â€" from the w^mdow as he drove past, and that was all.

But such a long way, long way. long way off, I think yon II Hud ine sooner in my grave. And that's my choiceâ€" observe. Fay had made up her mind to be lost. Could any one imagine anything so utterly gnorant and childish, and yet so pathetic .' She was going to lay down her wifely rights and steal away, friendless and unprotected, into the great lonely world, so that Hugh might come back to his old home in peace. With the rash impuls" of despairâ€" of a despair that hoped nothing and feared nothingâ€" she was taking the most terrible step that a young creatnre could take. She was doing evil that good might coyie ; she was giving up herself in complete reutmcia- tion and sclf-sacritico in obedience to a miBcrable and mistaken idea. If the had been older ; if her simplicity of character had been less childish, and her worldly knowledge greater, she must surely have hesitated before taking a step that must anger as well as grieve her husband. How would Sir Ilugh's haughty spirit brook the publicity and the nine days' wonder of the world when they knew that his wife. Lady Kedmondâ€" the successor of all the starched and spotless dames who hung in the old guestchaml>ersâ€" should ho forget herself and him as to tarnish his reputation by an act so improper and incredible. He might forgive his sffiiH trip and all the trouble that awaited him m his empty home ; but how^ will he ever bring himself to forgive that ? Darling Hc^h." it began, "do not be angry with me when you come backto- inorrow and find your Wee Wite has gone. *Wbat could I do â€" how could I stay any longer Ailit reading y our words. lodead, I think I ooald have born* anything bat this. No, this one thii g T could not bear â€" that you should leave your home and cotmtry to free yourself from me. â-  • Yoa must go,' you say ; of course it must be you,'' Darling, do you not know me better than that ? '' I felt you could not love me. Hugh ; but have I ever blamed you in my heart ? I was too childish and young for buoh a man as you. Why did yon marry me, dear â€" that was a great mistake. But perhaps you saw I liked you. " I tried to hard to please you, but spme- how I always failed. And then tbe b«°oy came â€" oar babyâ€" and you did not care for him : and then, indeed. I thought my heart would break. I wonder if you know how 1 have loved you ? I was not too yoting for that, though you thought I was. I never lay down to sleep without praying God to bless my dear husband, and tometimea â€" was it very childish of me, I wonder ? â€" I put baby's bands together and made believe he was prayiing too. " I think if you knew what I suffered, when they thonght I was dying, and the angels would not come for me ; I think â€" yes, I do think, Hughâ€" you would have been sorry for me then. " Good bye, my darling-^I shall never call you that again, for I am going away for ever. You most not trouble about me, for I shall take great care of myself, and after a time 1 shall not fret so much. I shall take my baby â€" be cannot do with- out me, and I love him so. When he is older I will send him back to yon. He is 30 like you. dear â€" a Redmond all over â€" and his eyes will remind me of yoa. " I shall say good by to yoo rery i;'iietly.

Voa are like a king to me. Hugh . â- o grand, and noble, and proad. Oh, what made you marry me '? You did wrongthere. darling, did you not ? " Good-bye, good-bye. I shall be joite lost. Do not look for me : only give tiie thought now and thenâ€" one kind and gentle thought of your Wee Wifie." She read through thelelter dry -eyed, and kissed it, and laid it on the table. It would touch hit hands, sbe thought. Later on she unsealed it, and added a short post- script. " Do not be anxious." it said : " I am going to some kind pecple who will be good to me and the boy." She l^ad placed the letter where Hu^li would tee it at once, and then ihe went upstairs. She wauitd to have her baby in her arms, that its totfcti tfrtRTlthJlI the deadly faiutiuss at her heart ; and when she f Jit a htile better nhe sent for Mrs. Heron and Janet. Sir'Hagh h.id gone oB to London, the told them ; they liad ttiegrapbf^i tor iiim, and she was to follow him immedi.^iely. She would take her In^i^gaga- with her, of course, for she did not intendto rtinrn to the Hall before going down into Devon- shire : but they would see Sir Hugh again for a few hours â€" he would probably run up the foilowing evening to give his liiitl orders. And would she be long away .' asked Mrs. Heron. She thought my lady looked very ill, and r»|uired a thotoagh change. •• 'Y'es," returned Kay, ijaickly ; bnt she turned away as she ^poke. She should most i-ertaiuly be away all the time Sir Hugh was th Kgy pt. Janet miut set to work at onc-e. for they would have to start early. .\nd then she explained that the cottage at Daintree was very small, and Sir Hugh had begged her todispense with Janet's service*, and only take nurse. Janet looked very disappointed when Fay said this, for she adored her geulW little mistreta. ' I don't know what master it thinking about, 'she grumbled, in confidence, to Mrs. Heron. ' This new nurse has only been here six wet'ks, and does not know my lady's ways. And who will wait on her. I should like to know , if I am to be left behind ? but this is all of a piece with his selfish- ness." But she worked with a will for all that, and all the time her boxes were being packed. Fay wandered about with her baby on her arm collecting her little treasures, and dropping them in the boxes as she passed. Now it was a book Hugh had given her. or a picture, or the withered flower he had worn in his button-hole; an odd glove he had left on his dressing-table, and which she clutched with the greediness of a miser ; and even a silk handkerchief he had worn round his neck â€"she put them all in. Such a strange little assortment of odds and enda. Janet thought sbe was daft. .^nd she would have none of her evening dresses packed up, or indeed any of her costly onesâ€" the would not retjuire them in the country, she said, .luictly ; but she would have all her jewels â€" not those Hush had given her. or the old family jewels that had been reset for her, but those that had belonged to her mother, and were exceed- ingly valuable; tb.ere was a pearl necklace that was worth :ive hundred pounds. Hiii;h had drawn out a large sum of money that he had-giren i:i charge to herâ€" he tneant to have left it for ioniestic expenses while he was away. Fay wrote out a receipt, and put it with her letter. It would be no harm to keep it. she thought : Hugh could help I have gone to left the ateblet, Nero, who had followed inr about all day with a dog's instinctive dread of some impending change, looked up in her face wistfully. ' *' Do you want to come with me, Nero V nhe asked, sadly; "poor fellow, you will fret yourself to' death without me. Tes, vou shall oome with me ; we will go to Rowan-Glan together." For all at once the thought had come to her of a beautiful sixit in the Hifhlands where she and her father had itayel many years ago. If she remained in Kugland. Hugh would find her, and she had a dread of going abroad. Besides, what could she do with baby, for of course she must leave narse bebiud ; she would have to engage a stranger who did not know she was Lady Bedmond. And then she bethouj;ht her- self that she would call hertelf by her hus- band's second nazne St. Clair â€" the would be Mrs. St. Clair. Yes, she and her father had had a very happy time at Rowan-Glen. They had i' .n to Kdinburgh, and to the Western Highlands, and had then made their way to Aberdeen, as Colonel Mordaunt had some old Indian friends there ; and, as they had stiii some weeks to spare, they had come down to the Deeeide, and had fallen in love with Rowan-Glen. But they could not obtain a lodging in one of the cottages, so the manse opened its hospitable doors to them. The minister. Mr. Duncan, was old. and to was his wife, and they had no children ; to. as there was room and to spare, and their income was somewhat scanty, the good old people were juite willing to take in Colonel Mordaunt and his little daughter. Fay had forgottea their existence until now ; but she remem- bered how kind Mrs. Duncan bad been to her ; and she tiiought she would go to her, and tell her she was married and very unhappy, and then she would let her and baby stop there quietly in the old grey house. Nobody ever came there, for they were quiet folk, and Mr. Dtmcan wat an invalid ; and there was a dear old room, looking out on tbe old fashioned garden, where her father had slept, that woidd jutt do for tier and baby. Fay had a vague sort of feeling that her strength would not last very long, and that by and by she would want to be cared for as well as the baby. Her poor brain was getting confused, and the could not sleep â€"there was so much to plan before the next d y. Ah. what a night that was. If it had not been for the toft breathing of her infant in the darkness. Fay must have screamed out in her liorroi*. at thcaghts of the desolate future came over her : and yet it wat easier for her to go away i ban to stay on at the Hall an unloved wife â€" a millstone rouiid her hus- band's neck. When Janet called her at t!.e proper time she fotmd her up and dressed and begiimiug her baby 8 toilet. •â-  Here Janet.' she said, with an unsteady laugh. •â-  I don't thmk I am puUing on baby's things very nicely, but 1 wanted to try. so nurse let me, but he cries so much that he confuses my head." .\nd then the gave him up and went wandering through the rooms.sayiDg a sUent good-bye to every; thing ; and last of ail she went into her bus blind's library. EUafton found her there when he sum uiuueJ h-.-r vo breakia*. 6li« would come 11! a minute she said, quietly : she was only arranging Sir Hngh'a papers as he liked to have them. Yes. the knew the carriage would be round directly . but Kllertoa need not fear that she would be lite. .\nd then, when the old servant had cl.->se»l the door. •li'r went up to her husbands chair, lean- i:)i! over it and embracing it with her t*-o arms, while she rested her ch-*k against lh» carded ebony bark. " This is where he will sit this evening." she said. " Goodbye. God blest you. dear ; and then she left the room. But she would eat notiiiug. and only asked for her baby. But j ;*t before she got into the carriage, she calied Mrs. Ilefon to her, and bade her take care of the aged people at the i'ierrepoint almshouses, and see they had their Iitt;9 packets of tea and grocery as usual ; and then she sliook hands with her and Ellerton. 'Goodbve toyonail. faltered the poor child hurriedly. "Vou lave been good friends to me. all cf vou Good byeâ€" good- bye; and then she drew i:er veil over her face, and leant back m the carriage, while Nero licked her little ungloved hand. . Sir Hugh had sworn to love and cherish her until death, and jet he had brought her to this. The journev was a very short one ; but nurse afterwards remembered that Lady Redmond did not appear surprised, when they arrived at Euston. to find tha»Sir Hugh was not waitirs; at the station. " What are we to do, my lady ? " she asked rather helplesslv, for she was young and a country woman, and the din and bustle were overwhelming to her ; bnt Fay was helping te identify her luggage, and did not answer. She told nurse to go into the waiting room with baby, and she would come to her presently. And then she had her luggage pnt on to a cab. ,_, u u •Nurse," she said, quickly, when the came back a few minutes afterwards, " will > ou give me baby a moment, and go to the refreshment roomâ€" it is just a little way down the station. I should like some sand- wiches and sponge-cakes, and perhaps you had better get some for yourself, there is plenty o| time ;" and the woman obeyed her at once. Her lady looked faint, she thought ; most likely she was disappointed that Sir Hugh was not there. As soon as she had left the waiting-room, lav went up to the person in charge, and asked her to give a sealed note to her nurse when she caifte back. " Vou remember her the vonng woman with reddish hair who Iheld babv just now; tell her I the luggage. ' And though in two or three weeks' time; and this one thing checked all clue. When the ifjqaines were set afloat, the porttr certainly remembered the little lady and baby and the big black dog.but he had not heard her instructions to the cabman. Fay only took her ticket to York ; ahe dared not go straight to her destination. When she arrived there she would not put up at the station hotel, but bad herself driven to a quiet little hotel for the night. It was an unpretending place, kept °t>y iioneat folk ; but Fay found herself very comfortable. She made some excuse about not bringing her nurse, and the chamber- maid helped her dress naby. She was almost too stupefied with grief and fatiiiue by tiv* time to do anything but sleep help- lessly ; but she made the girl promise to c&U her early, and ordered a dy to the station ; and when the morning came she got into it without telling any one where she was tioing, and took the midday train for Edin- burgh. It would be impossible to describe the nurse's feelings when she opened the packet in the waiting room and r^d her mistress s note. Dear nurse." it said, " I am really very sorry to treat you bo badly, but I can- not' help it. I have gone away with baby, and I could not take you. Please go back to Singleton by the next train ; you will find your box on the platform, and the por- ter will help you. Sir Hugh will tell you what to do when he arrives this evening â€" Your affectionate mistress, F. Redmond." And enclijsed were two months' wages. In spite of her youth. Fay had excellent business capabilities, only her husband bad never found them out. But unfortunately for the bewildered household at Redinond Hall. Sir Hugh never arrived that evening. First came a hazy telegram, informing them of a change of programme, and later on a special mes- senger came down from him bringing a letter from Sir Hughâ€" a very affectionate farewell letter. Fitzclarance had acted on impulse as usual, and he and Sir Hugh bad started that very night, leaving Fowls and Egerton to follow them. (To be eoDlinaed.)
