ADOPTED BY THE DEAN A TALE OF TWO OOUSTKIK8- All she oonld do at present was to sym palbize with her, and try to give her fresh interesta ; and Bertha did soem rather happier whou she was fairly out cf Iht dreary Bayswater lodgings, and established in Espereno-i's pretty drawing-room Oeorge wan in tbe city all day, and Ihe lime p**. it -lowly when she was alone but in the MaKiia>>' boost* there was i brighlneiis an) niiiialilv in the very aim > phere which ri mcd hi r from her dt-pression of spirits. After a time her visit j there became almot daily inslitudonH ; she would sit mining littln Noel by tbe hour or talking aadly yet with a kind of pleasure of Kilohtmter and ihe deanery, and the by gone times. Esperanoe waa ouly too glad to have her, and was always bright anc cheerful while ahe wai present ; bul after she had gone her face would become thoughtful and sad, and sometimes a tear would fall on the baby's while frock as she thought over poor Beitha's trouble*. " If my uncle would only relent," ihe used to say to Claude, when most troubled by Brtha's paleness and depression. " Well, oherie," Claude would reply, " you and Noel must go lo Rilohester and touch his heart, tbat ii the only plan I can think of." And Ksperanoe would laagh, and hold her baby more closely, while she declared that his little brown faoe would be worse than useless. Rilcbeiter seemed but little altered ; and Etpiranoe looked at Ihe quiet streets and picturesque houses with an odd sort ol affection ; ihe bad 'earned a great deal while she lived there, and ahe oonld look baok upon the suffering now with undii tnrbed serenity, seeing how good had come out of evil. It was carious lo diive down the tery street* which she uied to pass through on ber way lo and from tbe Priory, to recall the long, weary walks, her terror whan it grew dusk, and her encounter with a gang of workmen, and then to look to the other side of tbe carriage and to aee Claude giving a blithe recognition to the preoenlor, and little Noel gazing with wide opened eyes al all about him. IIow little she had drearaad in those dark day* of Ihe possession* wbioh were awaiting her in the future. On the following day they were to dine at the deanery, and Mr*. Morllake and Dean Collinson oame to see them before the afternoon service. Christabel was. of oonrse, as polite and amiable as possible, and pat on her very best company manners, bat Esperanoe knew the did not really like ber any belter than before, and disliked the fnising politeness almost more than the former sharp fault finding. The dean, too, seemed more pompous than avtr ; ahe had mentioned Bertha's name to him, but he had looked displeased, and bad at ouon changed the subject. On the whole the \nil hvi been a disappointing one, and she left waary and depreised. ' Why. my little' Mrina." said Claude, a* he returned from >> ing the vititor* out, and found Eiperance wilh the shadow of thai old look on her face, " what has been troubling you ? " ' I don't know," aid Kipera-i-e, half laughing, and allfviug ht-rie.f to be ensconced on Ihe aofa, " I am oroas and stupid to day, and somehow after oar long happiness it seerni rather a weight to come back to Christabel. And Uncle Collinson eems heartless and he did nol even care to hear of Bertha." OUAPTER XXXV. "Mr. and Mrs. Magnay ' " The heavy door was thrown baok, tho tall footman stood aside, and Esperanoe found herself once more in the purple drawing-room. Mra. Mortlake had not eoma dawn ; bal Cornelia oame forward with ber kind and real welcome, and Eiparanoe'e old friends, Mra. Lowdell and her daughter Oraoe, were also there. Bhe was glad to be able to tell Ihem all about Gaapard, and she did not mind recalling the pail troubles which had happened during their laat viait, now that she oonld look across the room to where her husband stood in conversation with the dean. I>.-aii Collioson had for the time lost his pomposity ha was talking very eagerly. " I have been busy in the observatory," Ksperanoe beard him say ; " we must go up there after dinner." Then in a minute both crossed ihe room to ths window seat where she was sitting. " Let us corns one moment, oherie ; we want to aee what kind of a night il ia," and Claude drew aaida the heavy purple onrtaini, and looked out intently, (hading hii ayai fro n the light within. It waa quite dunk, but not too dark to prevent their seeing a great rolling niassei of cloud away to the southeast. "A thunder storm," said Claude, "if I am not mist > ken ; I ihonvht It would ooiue on sooner, the sky was so lurid Ibis after- noon." > 1'rovoking !

The u-ml mini did not stay down Hair* long; direotlv after In* th-v adj turned lo the observatory, and Mm Oraoe Lowdall having einreised a with lo go up too, Cor- nell* aod Kiperanne followed with her. Eiaeranoe was glad lo prep into her old aitni room, nnw fillad wilh Bolla's play- thing*, and she ouold not repress a little shiver as she remembered how ma oh she had gon through there. Bhe held Cornelia's bann more oloiely, and crossed the landing quickly to tbs observatory, where Claide was working away at the great ocg- wheel whioh turned th domed root, so as to open it fur the tsleioope, whioh was not yet ailjuiled. Mnn Lowd. II was enchanted ; she bad never been in thi observatory before, and had no idea ingenious machinery existed there. The dean had catted I'ornui* to th adjoining room, and E perenoe and Mi I, >w(luli had jast olimbi-d up the flight of slept on tho lutlo wood-n stage, wben a sudden and very vivid flash o lightning siarllod them both. Oh, pray let us get down," said Mi** Lowdull, nervously. " We seem so terribly mar to it up here. It must be the begin ning of a storm." Yes," said Esperanoe, with a slight shiver, a* another flash suooeeded, quickly followed by a tremendous clap of thunder. Bha bad a groat horror of thunder- storm!, and as Claude oame halt- way up h iteps to help her down, ber hand fell cold and tremulous. You must come ibwn slair, darling," IB said decisively. " There is no use in our being np here till the storm hai passed.' Noel will be so frightened," she stid, pleadingly, " don't you think I might go aome to him ? " Wbat ! iu the middle of the storm ? ' II has not began to rain yet ; and il is not far ; b*BJdei, the lightning will not be worse out cf doors than 11 ie here. Cornelia will understood how it is will yon not ? " he, said, turning to her oonain, who bad jml rejoined them. " Quite," bii'l Cornelia, kindly, " yon mint do just what you like, dear." Tben I will go, pltane, Claude, for I shall not feel happy about Noel ; yon kuow Marie is very young." Considerably older than her small mistress," said Clamde, with a comical look. Corueiia and Miss Lowdell both laaghiid. while EiperauOH drew herself np with an expreaiiou of mock dignity. I was twenty last birthday; and you've no buiineas to laugh at me now I am out of my teens." They laughed all the more, however, and t was not until another still more vivid tlaih startled them all, that they left the observatory, Cornelia and Miss Lowdull oining Christabel iu the drawing-room, ind Claude and Esperanoe returning to their hotel. There was a heavy oppressiveness about the atmosphere not a star was viiiblo ind as they creased the open square whioh ed from the deanery to the Y .oar's Court he darkness teemed to press almost pain ally on their sight. They had scarcely reached the old gate- way when a flash if dash it could be called which teouud to them like a mass of golden-red tire, bla/ d jam them, while simcltaneoasly came the most appalling Ibander-olap. Etperance was half deafened by it for a moment, bat her terror was conquered by her amazement . Bhe had never seeu or heard anything so grandly awful. Claude pal his arm around her. Do not be frightened, darling, that is most likely the worst we shall have." " Did the cathedral tower fall ? " she sked. Barely something fell in that great crash something is falling now ! On, islcu 1 " Claude turned back toward the deanery the direction from whioh the noise oame. The lamp light was too dim IA ro much, but the next moment the lightning I mmmed the old houte, and in that brief ;lauoe they could see that the observatory lad been altogether wrecked. The iaggod nd irregular outline stood out Uaikl/ against the bright sky, then in an instant he black darkness veiled It from their igbt. " Cornelia I my ancle 1 Ob, Olsnde, they mult be killed ! " cried Esperanoe, in an Hon) of grief. " Lei us go baokt " Clauds was itrnok dumb by that terrible oveUtion ; he could not rt fuse her, aod hry hurried back to the house, where all was confusion. By the lime they had reached the door Mrs. Mortlake, with poor ittls lerrined Bella, bad rushed out, Mrs. ind Mils Lowdrll hnrritd aftr her, while he servants had already tied and were standing on the grass in front of tho house, luddled together in their fright. " Oh, Kiiperanee, il hai been so terrible!" laid Mrs. Mortlake, clinging to her. " If it lad been ten minutes later Bella would have >een npulairs ! " " Are yon all safe ? " asked Ksperanoe, hulnenng. " 1 do not know. We were sitting in the Irawmg room whun thai fearful uraih iini , and the whole house seemed to romble and vibrate, and But Esperanoe interrupted her "Where s Cornelia ? " No one knew. And the dean ! " said Mrs. Lowdell. Where is the dean T " The little crowd round the house had noreased, but the neighborhood was so uiet and retired that ii was still small ; here was a low, awed murmur, as a dead ilenoe followed Mrs. Lowdell question. Just then a light was seen within the II ; il approached slowly, and Eiperanoe ave a glad cry as she dUoerned Cornelia r, -fully oroaiing the pavement, whioh was trewo with fallen beam) and broken frag- enls of glass. Bat as she oame nearer er fiied, aithy-white faos put all rejjioing o flight, and fear made every one speech- ess. Glands went to meet hsr and first broke he silenoe. We have been so anxious about yon I " a said, hurriedly. " I hope you bring us ews of the dean ? " Bhe tamed her rigid face toward him. " I cannot reach him. He was in the nte room, oloss to the observatory, when o oame down the way is impassable ow ! " Home one mut go up and! find him," aid Mrs. Mortlake, and she called the foot man ; but the danger was great, and the fuotman hung baok reluctantly. Claude I* fl Cornelia then for a moment, and drew Esperanoe a little apart from ths orowd. ' lUrling," he said, gently, " I must see if I oannol help to Hurt v mr nnole Will you KO baok to baby ?

The last words pisstd ber lips half druamily <he could not have given hr reason for ad ling it. The lamp light fell fully on Claude's face row ; she looked np into his clear, grave, baa eyes one last, long look, then ho stooped oac more to kns her, wrapped her cloak more cionely round her, and walked borne lly away. Fur a minute Eiperanoe strained her eym to follow him iu the dim light. S itaa one brought him a lantern, he spoke a few words to Cornelia and then walkad np the taps and disappeared in tne darknesa. Her head drooped then, and she leaned againit the lamp post for support, waiting with f jldoil hands and close 1 eyes. People gathered round her, and talked hopefully, but she oonld not heed them, she never raisea her eyes until a half- whispered remark roused bar " Poor Miss Collinnon seems quite stunned." Then she drew nearer to the doir wber Cornelia was standing, an t put her arm round h>>r waial, and held one of her ooU hands iu hern. Cornelia looked at her pityingly. " My poor child, you ought not to ba here." " II will not hurt me, he told me I might stay we will wail together," she replied, '.'all Chris-.atxil and the others to go under ihelter somewnere," >ai I Cornelia, uttering tne words with dim laity. Esperance obeyed, ant Mri. Morllake and h<r guisti accepted the off -r of on- of the minor canons, and took refuge ii the Vioar's Conn. Then Eiptrenw returned again to Cornelia, aod the two women *aite.i in silence taroogh minute* which in their agony of suspense semed like hours waited in the pouring rain, and the chill of th autumn uixht, onheedfal of all arouud, each knowing Ibat the life must dear lo her in ths world was iu mortal danger. There was an expectant hush; every one wai listening intently for some sigu which might ull of Claude's success, yet to Enperance it seemed as if tho quiet court had never before been so noisy. Her ears wt-re strained to oatoh the faiuteit sound from the house, and the low whiskers of the looker* on, the oeaseleM drip of tbe rain on the gravtl, and the diilant roll of the thunder, seemed almost more than she could endure. friend, Mr. White, and two or three servants and neighbors, had ventured as far as the hall, and were the first to hear tbe shout from above. Cornelia and Esper- anoe beard the voioe bat could not dis tmgaiih tbe words. Mr. White harried oat to them, however it wad all right, tbe dean was unhurt. Cornelia uttered a fervent lhankigiviug. then again there was unbroken silence while tbe perilous desoeol as made down the shattered and almost impastable staircase. Ladders had been i'rooursd, but they had proved too short and could not be arij i-ieii, nor was the feeble old dean very anxious to try them. Claude had found him in the room artj lining tbe observatory, or rather among lib .-ums, just recovering from the shock of the accident whioh bad at first stanned him. He was safe and unhurt, bat so macli agitated that to convey him safely down again was no easy mailer. Tbe woodsn balustrade and more than half the stairs themselves had been crashed by the [ailing in of the observatory, and thedebrib was strewn so thickly on the remaining portion that walking wai very d Mi mil . more than once the dean lurned giddy, and WOT obliged to panse, but at length ths worst part of the descent was over, and they could see the faoes of the watchers in the hall. They had jusl reached tbe top of the Ut tl ght where the foothoid was rather more sure, when the dean with fresh can- ft lenoe began to move more quickly, missed hii footing, grasped hold of Ciau.ie, slipped down a step or two, but liually recovered himwlf. (Maude, however, could not resist the sadden shook ; the dean was next to ths wall, but he wss on the collide, on the very verge of the broken and shattered stairs. for an iDHtant he struggled hard to right tumult, but in vain ; tbe dean glauumg round, held ths wall for protection with cue hand, and with the other olutohed despairingly at his rescuer. But il was nselesi ; Claude fell heavily into the hall below. Espiranoe had turned cold and faint, but ihe sight of her husband revived her, terrible though it was. Bhe took off her oloak and spread il on the grroud of ths >oroh, then signaled te>them whi. to place lim, and, supporting his head, wiped his 'aoa with her handkerchief. The others looked on sadly , they had sot -"y any hope. Cornelia quite dreaded Ihe arrival )f the doctor, so certain did (he feel that iis first words would blasi poor Esperanoe's tops*. Claude's death-like pallor and icy cold- ness had, however, misled them, the doctor reassured them ; he was still living, bat as unoonsoions from ths efUoti ot ooo- onsaion of the brain. Ths dean, who had Man too mu.ih shocked till now to speak, 'airly burn into lears on hearing Ibis ; all iis pompMity vanished, aod he sobbed like deathly stillness and pallor changed, the paralyzed limbs mivsd onoe more ; she mtsbed braalhlesily. Bat alas ! there ws no oomfori in the wandering, anreoog- nixing gaza of the blue eyes as iney rented on her; the awakening was only to deliriois ravines aud lo feverish paroxysms terrible to witness. CHAPTER XXXVI. Lady Worihington and Frances were away at the time of the acoideni ; there had bi-n a Wedding in the family, an they had been from bone a week, but th news of the disaster reached them very soon, and Lady Worthingion's firs objaot when she returned to Itiloheitar ws to go at onoe to see Eiperanoe. France thought it best to defer her visit, and let her iidter alone at tbe Spread Ktgle, afts hearing at the door that Mr. Magaay wai no better. There was something very iad in tha first vinil. The tearj were in her eyes wben Eiperanoe oame quietly into tbe room with the bashed manner which people bring wiih them from a lick bed she waavery pale, bat her smile, had los none of its radianoe as she hastened for ward to kiss Lady Worihington. " It was very gooi of TOO to come 1 have so wanted to see yon ! " " My poor child ! I have bean 10 anxioas about yon ! We oniy heard on Siturday and ooold not come back till this morning I am afraid you have no better aoooanl to give me ? " "No." said Eiperanoe, wearily. " On Saturday evsaia^ thire was a change, an, inflammation set in. Now he has sauk again into a quiet, insensible stale, am there seems so little one can da. The deaa has telegraphed this morning for aome London doctor he has been very kind." Wai he any the worse himself ,' I did not hear if he was injured at all ?" " No, hs is unhurt." Ami Eiperance gave Lady Worihington all the detaiU u Ihe accident. White sba was anil talking a servant came in with tbe mid-diy lteri two directed to " Claud* Magnay.

II. ti-ari roue to her eyee thea it wai the first ihe had from him sines Claode'i illness and be of course knew nothing of her trouble ; she oonld not bear to opeu it. Lady Wortbington could not enough admire the resolute way in wuian she lorned from her troubles Frances came back with me this morn mg." the said. ' I wonder whether you have heard any rumort of bar piece 01 news ' ' Woal ' " exclaimed Esperanos ; " is it really true, then : I heard a report tbat the was going lo be married." Trim Kitchener to b ) beforehand itb gaiip," said Lady Worthmgioo, smiling. Uuilhi* is rually true. Cajiyou gatss whom she is going to marry .' " Kiperanoe thought for a minute. " A clergyman of some sort, 1 tappowe Frances would make such a mo Jel clergy man's wife." " No," said Lady Worthington, with an amuied look ; " yon are quite wrong. Well, then tbe squire of a country pariith, where shewiilbeaLany Bountiful.' Right ! " said Lady Worthington Ann now who is Ihs tqure '.' yuo know him, but hs lives a long way from bsrs." The squire of a country pariib, and I know him," said Eiperanoe, much puzzled Then witti a sodden remembrance" Mr ilenderson ! can il be Mr. UenJer<ton ? " YDS, il really is," said Lady Worthing ton, smiling. " You and Madams Leraer- our, you see, have helped to uud a husband tor Frances. Espsranoe was really very much plsaaed at this pieoe of news, and Lady Worthing ton's vuit baa cheered and refreshed her. Leaving Uiperauoa with her hasband, she went down again to Ihe titling- room, where she found the dean wailing for ihe last accounts of Claude, tie looked very much aged and shaken, and Lady Worth- ington fancying he would not can* lo see any one, would have left after Ibe tint creeling aod a few words of lympatby, but be begged her almost pathetically to stay. If yon oould tell me. Lady Worthing- Ion, what I can posiibly do tor that poor child ; she is wearing hets.-lf out, and I seem power lois to help both thtir deaths will lie at my door." Knuerance told me that Cornelia has been the greatest comfort lo her," said Lady Worthiogton, anxious to say something luothing, but the dean ouly gcu* morn agitated. Yes, Cornelia oan help," he said, pileously, " but I myself I who cauied all ibe trouble, oan do nothing but watch the effjots. Lady Worthingtoo, I ain an old man and a scholar, Dal ujw for tbe ant time I have found that all my life has bean lived for stlf, and beoaase of that wrong motive, I have been aeif deceived. I see it now all too plainly, bat tbe punishment is very bard, vary bitter. Il is grevioos to lit helplessly Dy, watching Ihe ram ona has canned in Ihe present, haunted by ths spaoMrs of past deeds.

You know her better than any one, you and Mils Neville ; oan you not think of something whioh I oan do lo reliavs her ? " Lady Worthington s mil beautiful faoe wai lull of sympathy , her namoroas gray eves were) softened, and beamed with a kindly light ; years ago sbs had owned to her husband tbat she felt that il would be a sheer impoaiibility to rouse ths dean - . from hii stiiiMhnuis to a perception of his a child - It is my doing -my doing I " duties, and now from his own lips ihe was Cornelia could not soothe him; but as hearing thai Claude and K.paranoe had Claude was placed on a maliress, and soooaedad in this. Sue paused for on a mattress, borne ilowly away to Ihe hotel, Eiperanoe swrned to awake to Ihe reojllujtion of auooeeded in this. Sue pauted tor a moment before answering, then, with the hesitation ot one who spoeks while yet others, and quickly perceiving how matters thinking oat some doabtful point, she said. were, begged bsr nuole to oooae baok with her After time ths recovered herself, and, has ily dressing, lift Noel with Mrie and went to her huiband'a room Trier There is one way that has just occurred, lo me, iu whioh I think you ini*ht perhaps hnlp Mrs. Magnay. I know from waat ih aid j HI now how uiu ih ihe long* to have how to help, and what to do, I am blind and powerless. Bat that is really a good idea ! I will telegraph to Mr. Seymour, tell him lo advance the necessary money to Uuniitur de lo Gaspard and offer any oompsnsation whioh Mr. Beymour may think lo ahtrge for his sudden withdrawal." Th* visit of the London doctor took plaoe a later in the week, and the dean built a great deal on it, hoping that his opinion would be more favorable, or that he would adopt some more aotivs measures. He was terribly disappointed wbnn Mr. Moore uiuy oou firmed the opinion of th Rdohester doctori trepanning; oonld not be attempted; in all probability the patient would never raoover oouaoioasaeM, bat would sink in a few days. This was tha opinion given to ihi dean the dootor faltered a little M Ksperauoe drew him aside. You will not de.-eiva me, I know," she said, raiting her clear brown eyes to his. " U Ibere any hope of my husband's recovery? " Novir had tha doctor been so strongly tempted to hold oat false hope*. He was lilenl for a moment, locking at the poor little wife, so young and helpless, 10 unable to bear calamity. Bat those unflinching eyee woald not allow him to prevaricate. ' It is possible, madame," he laid, with amphaais. Her lip* quivered. She saw plainly how very little hope he had. " How long? " ahe asked, in a tremulous voioa. II may be few days," he answered, " or it may possible be weeks, or even months. There have been cases in which the patient hsa lingered on in Ibis way and ultimately recovered, but it in only fair to tell yoo, madame, they are very rare." She aiked a few more qat>tion, keeping baok her lears bravely ; then with a few words of hearty lympaihy Mr. Mcore took leave, hurrying away to catch tbe London train. iTo b oontinuad. PKMNT BANKS. Inslilalions ot thin kind are numerous in Britain, and are useful as teaching the children, who are the principal depositors, habits of thrift. They are encouraged to save tbeir coppers by placing them in theae banks, and wben the pennies increase until they become shillings and pound* they are again snoooraged lo Irantfer them into the Government Savings Banks. By this means they are often enabled to save ap quite a tidy little sum for future use. In the poorer quarters even grown ap people may be found among the patrons of these unpretentious yet useful institutions. The IVople'i Savings Bank, of West Bay City, Mich., 11 introduiing a rather novel feature into banking there. It is a plan whioh oan ba beat told ia tbe wordi of tbe cashier, who explains it in detail as follows : " I have been for some time past studying to devue some plan to indues children of oar fair oily to save their pennies and nickels by depositing them in our bank, and think I have hit opon a plan that will greatly please our little folks tnd get them in the habit of saving, which will do more for them toward bnildiag np a good character and making them grow ap to good and useful manhood and womanhood, than almost any other one thina. The plan, briefly mated, is this : Ihe People's Savings Bank ii having plates engraved at considerable expense, from which will be printed many Ibonsands ot pretty gnmmed stamps ; each stamp will represent the value of five cents. In connection with these itamps, tbe bank nan ordered a large number of nice little ooks containing twenty leaves, each leaf ruled off into twenty sqoares, and eaoh iqaare being tbejHime sint at the stamps. As aoon as everything is ready, the Paople'i saving! Bank will place theae stamps on ule with well known merchants of West Bay City. Any child, or adult tor that matter (although Ihe plan is particularly n tended, for children), can go to any one of ibe itorei that have ths stamps on isle and >oy one or more at nveoents eaoh. With the Irst purchase of one or more stamps, the boy or girl will be given, free of charge, one of the book* I have already mentioned, in which tbay will itick tbe alamp on one ot the little squares, and when a page of the book is filled with stamps il will represent value of one dollar. Tha book oan then je taken to the merchant from whom it was) obtained and ha will taar out tha page and give a receipt for it, and wben at ength each page of the book has been thus filled, torn out and receipted by tbe mer- chant, the child oan take the receipts to ihe People's Savings Bank and exchange them for a nioe. neat bank book, in which will be credited Ihe sum represented by tbe euvipts, whioh mast oorrespond with the eaves returned to the bank by the mer- chant. The child then bays another or more stamps, gels another book and pro- ceeds precisely as before. These stamps) can be obtained at all times when the storae are open, and the drag stores espe- cially are almost always open aarly and ate every day ot the week, and buying bene stamps is always equivalent to a de- posit in the bank." i to her huiaand'a room Tbere wai her brother with her -would it be pjmbia MH>rov,Tneiil of any kiud ; Claude lay | for him to be seal for ?" ool.l and moli' n ss she only kuew tbat he ' Tho dau started lo his (net with ludden still lived by the worts spokeu to bur as animation. sheoann in -"Nj oha'iiie " The weary day patted on lo its ulose and nig^l oama ; tha n it morning aud the n -\t nighl, and still only a oo'itiunalion of that awful death 1u life.
