CHAPTER IX. How lougI remained hidden there I never knew. As the time glided by, all my terror gradually passed away, and I felt calm and confident once more. My conviction grew and strengthened that Cyril would not suc- ceed in discovering my hiding-place. The moon rose; but her light did not pen- etrate the deep obscurity of the refuge Mr. Bercsford had selected for me; and, though I could see the house perfectly well, and the lights in its windows, no one could have discerned me, oven if standing within a few yards of me, so deep was the shadow in which I lay concealed. Ths long ferns al- most closed over my head ; the branches of the trees hung low and deepened the ob- scurity. Everything was very still and peaceful on that cold clear winter's night, with the stars sp‘zrkling down from their lofty heights a vo me. - “ You crbod maiden, “'ith white firo laden, \Vhom mortals call the moon,” looked down upon me with calm serenity as I lay hidden. At last I heard voices on the carriage drive quite close to me, and I discerned two fi urcs approaching through the gloom. Cy- ri -â€"-how well I know his voice lâ€"saidâ€" “ Then you‘ll meet me this day week in town, Borcsford, and we’ll square up re the sheep 2" To this Noel,nuswored-â€"- “ All right. I will not fail. Cold, isn't it i" he added. And Cyril saidâ€" “ Rather.” Then one of them struck a match, and they lighted their pipes. Presently I heard Cyril sayâ€" “ \tht was that? over there." I could discern the dark outline of his fig- ure from whero I lay, scarcely daring to breathe ; and I felt sure that ho was looking full at my hiding-place as he spoke. " Probably a rabbit or a pheasant. I have both in my plantations,” Noel answered. I waited anxiously for Cyril’s next words; but they did not come. The two men had walked on together towards the stables. I he ed that Cyril was about to get his horse ; and by-and-by the dull thud of a horse’s hoof on the drive led me to believe that he was at last ridiu away ; and, when once more Noel Boresford s stop crushed the fern and dead loaves near me, I knew that I was not mis- taken. Mr. Borcsfmd did not touch me this time; he only beckoned to me to follow him; and in silence we crussml the lawn and re-cuter- ed the house by the large dining-room win- dow, in the same manner that we had left it. I ran at once to the fire, and, crouching down by it, began to warm my hands. Noel followed me to the fireplace, and stood look- ing down at me as I knelt there. )very- thing in the room was just the some ; tho tea-things still stood on the table. “ You do not ask me any questions,“ said Mr. Boresford. I suppose you hoard him ride past you, and you now that he has one at last. He asked me no questions a at you, as I had expected that he would ; but he noticed your slippers ; you had left them lying by the fire." Sure enough there they layâ€"little bluc slippers, with bright steel buckles and blue satin bows. “ I saw him looking at them." continued Noel. " And he had a sneer on his face :so I saidâ€"J Perhaps you are not aware that this house is let. I have only the use of this room occasionally for business purposes, as tonight} " ' Your tenant is a lady then,’ " he said, with his eyes still on the slippers. “ ‘ Yes, I answered : for was not going to lie to him if I could help it. “ ‘ She has very pretty little feet," ‘he said, with another sneer." There was a pause after this. I could‘aot have spoken to save my life; something in Mr. Beroeford’s manner had set my beating fast. Ho tmk up one of the little slippers and laid it for a' moment on his large strong brown band. "Such pretty little things I" he said. “ I wonder who could have helped noticing them l I know I couldn't." Ho laid the slip r down again, and I felt as if I dared nrlit ook mm. his!“ my eyes upon the g owing em on the hearth instead.

I was standing before him by this time ; but I could nothave spoken, however hard I had tried. Quite suddenly, and when I was not ex- pecting it in theleast, Noel caught me inhis arms. He held me so for one moment, tightly clasped, with a strength that made me feelas powerlmsas a child. Then just “suddenly he released me again. “ No," he said ; I won't soil your white- ness even for a moment Cathieâ€"my little white snowdrap l" . He turned away and dropped down open a chair by the table ; his crossed arms were resting npcn it, and his face was hidden; for a moment or two I heard nothing but his hard breathing. Then, without raising his head, he said in a. whisperâ€" “Oh Cathie, remember me sometimes in your prayers l" The pathetic appeal of those words almost broke my heart. There was despair in his whole attitude. I could bear it no ion er; I stepped u to him, and I laid my ban up- on his shou er. “You may go away for one week," I said. “\Vhen you come back 1 shall not be here any longer. I see it all now, and that I ought never to have come here, even for a day. Hush i"â€"for he had raised his head and seemed about to speak. “ Don’t try to defend me. I must do all I can now to repair the mischief I have caused. You must come back here, for you have to man- age your. property, and you cannot stay away; it is I who ought to go. Don’t try to prevent me, and do not fancy that I can ever forget all that vou have done for me, and ”â€"-here a sob nearly choked my voiceâ€" “Heaven be with you always I” With the last words I fairly ran out of the room ; and, before dawn next morning, Noel Bcresford had left Ravelston. How wall I remember my miserable awak- ening toall my troubles in the morning I During the early part of the hi vht I slept from sheer exhaustion after all had gone through during the last few hours; but in the gray dawn I awake, and my first recol- lection was that Noel Bercsford had gone, and that I should never, ‘never see him any more I I hid my face in the pillow and cried many bitter tears. I felt as if I had come at last to the very darkest hour of all my life. If I had only known it, I might have taken courage ; the darkest hour was the one be- fore the dawn. In the course of the day which followed, I made such plans as I was able for the fu- ture which lay before me. I meant to leave Rivalston at once; on this point my mind was perfectly clear and resolved ; all other projects still remained vague and half formed in my mind. I had determined that I would be driven to the railway station the next morning, and that I would leave by the first train for town, where I meant to take lodgings for the present. I had still a little money left, and I hoped before that was finished to have procured a situation as governess. I think had grown very reckless and very indiffer- ent in to what further became of me. It happened on this same day that Mrs. Holland received a. letter from a friend of hers who lived in the neighbourhood of my old home ; and I found, from a casual men- tion of myself in this letter, that people knew as yet absolutely nothing of my disap- pearance from my husband’s roof. It was supposed that Cyril and I were still absent upon our wedding tour; we had originally intended to be away for two or three months. From this I inferred that Cyril‘had not been living on his own estate since my de- parture. Probably he had been trying every means he could think of to seek me out without bringing his family affairs too prominently before the public. The same evening I was alone in the din- ingeroom at Ruvelston. I was feeliug un- speuknbly lonely; I had packed up the few possessions I had with me, and there was nothing to prevent me leaving Ravelston the next morning. Had I not fully determined upon going away at once? But I loved the place so much, I had been so happy there, that it half broke my heart to leave it and to give up all hope of seeing it or its master again. I had thrown myself down upon the couch at one side of the fireplace, and was crying bitterly, with my face buried in the cushions, when suddenly, through a. pause in my sobs, I felt instinctively that I was no- longer alone in the room. I brushed away my tears, and raised my head sharply, and the next moment I start- cd to my feet, for I saw, standing in the re- cess of the large window, my husband Cy~ ril Vane. . The window was not fastened, and he had enterfid quite noislessly while I had been too much absorbed in my own thoguhts to no- tico his approach. Probably he had found out the day before that I was in the house, and his pretended departure had been only a blind in order to throw me off my guard. However this may have been, there he cer- tainly was. He was intensely pale, and his eyes were very bright and fierce. As they met mine, I recoilcd a step or two, and glanced involuntarily towards the door. He laughedâ€"a little cruel laugh. “ Don‘t try to go," he said; " it would be of no use. You see, Cathie, you are hunted down at last i" CHAPTER X. A feeling of deadly terror crept over me, and, fora few moments, I quniled before him. I einnot tell if hc knew how fright- cncd I was. “'0 were now standing opposite to each other tn the rug before the fire. and we eyed each other steadily, each waiting for the other to make the first move. Fright- ened as I was, I think I could scarcely have looked as pale as Cyril; tho pallor of his face struck me as exceedingly ghastly and terrible, The silence between us lasted unbroken for many minutes. It became unnatural, awful, and oppressive. At last I said, very slowly, each word clear and sharp in the utter stillness of the roomâ€"- “ Youâ€"murdercdâ€"my sister 1” " Yes," he said coolly, " I did. You know that long ago." I made no answer. The boldness of his confession and the cold cruel glance with which it was accomplished deprived me of all words. After a moment, he went onâ€" “ "on found me out from the firstâ€"I felt sure of it. I saw you watching me in the mirror onc day when you thought I did not observe you, and I determined from that moment to marry you and to get you in my power." After a moment he added with another sneering laugh, “How do you know I have not come here to murder you as well 3" My terror had now reached its climax. l richivering and trembling from head to on I felt persuaded that he had really come to don: he threatened, to put an end to in ‘ NP. as he had done to my sister's; yet still managed to confront him steadily. _Some instinct taught me that the least 0131: of fear would be fatal, and I contrived toshow none; yet, in my secret heart.

Noel put the letter into the WPNOI of hiscoatashocamo forward; bathe did with an intense deadly avernon in their glances. Instinctiver I moved forward a cw steps, so as to place myself between them. Cyril was the first to speak. He took no nctice of Mr. Bermford; he did no even look towards him. He addremed himself point- edly at me. “ Yes, it is quite true that I murdered :e Belham," he said, with a second osten- tatious confession of his guilt; "but she de. served her fate. She led pic on and encour- aged me all the time I was staying in town, till I was half mad about her. She asked me to come down and see her in the country, and, whenI came, she laughed in my face ; P and she told me she was going to be married in a month. She turned away, and left me lying face downwards amongst the fern in the plantation, a brfien-hearted man ; but I had my gun in my hand, for I had been shooting ; and, before she had gone twenty yards, I sprang up and snot her down like a Strange that no one saw me there that cog. day." He was gradually working himself up, as he uttered his confession, into a fierce fit of passion. Looking at him as he stood there, with his black eyes Wild and savage as a Wolfe and his lips compressed, I could quite real- ise how it all happened, and how Rose’s fools had come that summer afternoon to so terrible and tragic a conclu- ish trick of flirting sion. I stood and looked at Cyril in mute hor- ror while he spoke, wandering what mew form this strange audacity of guilt wouldus- sume, and what fresh crime he would next confess to. Noel too was silent; he was watching intently every look and movement of the man before him. His eyes never wav- ered for a moment ; his straight brows were contracted with the keeness of his gaze. Suddenly Cyril put one hand to the breast- pocket of his coat, and Noel's scrutiny of his every gesture became, if posSible, even more intense and vigilant. “ \Vhen I came here to-day,” Cyril resum- ed, speaking somewhst dreamin now, and in a softer tone than he had used before, “ I said to myself that I would send Cathie after her sister; but I have changed my mind. Cathie does not deserve such a fate ; she would never have treated me as Rose did, sheis a girl of a. different sort ; but in- stead of that, I willâ€"â€"-â€"" ‘ The sentence was never finished.

" lay quite still, with his eyes closed. The room seemed to have grown very chilly. Noel heaped wood upon the fire, and Mrs. Holland made some hot coffee and brought a cup of it to me. But I could not raise my head to take it ; the dying man’s hind still held me firmly to my place. At last he opened his eyes once mare. “ Kiss me, Cathie," he whispered, "as a proof that you forgive me all the injury I have done you.” All through the days of his courtship I had never given Cyril one kiss ; now. in the presence of Noel and Mrs. Holland, I press- cd my lips lol- the first and last time on his forehead. When I raised my head, I saw that the look of pain had passed from his face, and there was now an expression of peace. Very slowly, very reluctantly his hand re- laxed its grasp on mino ; his eyes seemed to suck for my race once more, but they did not see me ; and, when Noel lifted me up and placed me in an easy-chair by the tire, I knew that the guilty soul of Cyril Vane had passed away. CHAPTER xi., AND Li’ir. I was obliged to remain at llsvclston uu~ til alter Cyril's funeral had taken place. It was supposed by all our acquaintances that we had stopped for a day or two at Mr. Bsrvsf..rd's house on our return from our wedding tour, and that Cyril in a fit of de- pression, had put an end to his life. He was known to have lived a very wild and unsteady life for some years past, and no one was surprised at his sudden tragic end. " Do you know what I came back for Cathie 2' said Noel to me the day after Cy- ril's death. “ I suddenly remembered that perhaps you had no money. and I came back to give or: this cheque. Was it not aluckv thing t I did so i" It was indeed for me, at any rate; but for Noel's return I truly believe that I should not have lived to write this story. I have mentioned. before that when Noel came into the room on that most memorable evening he held in one hand a letter with a black-bordch envelope. " He had heard, he told me afterwards, by the English mail that his elder brother was just desd, and that he had come into parses- sicn of one of the handsomest estates and largest fortunes in Blank-hire.

After I had been back for some little rim} in the house where Rose and I had lived ev- er since we were children, I received a lett from Mr. Bereafon‘l. “I must goback to England soon,” he he wrote. " The property at home wants coking after.

My patience is getting worn out. Don’t be cruel, Cathie, but let me come." To this letter I vouchsafed no reply. Of course after this I was not very much sur- prised when, a few days afterwards, on coming in from a long ride on Gladiator. I found Noel standing waiting for me before the fire. I took off my gauntlet gloves, and we shook hands with extreme formality and decorum. " You have come about the rent 2" I said, with a saucy toss of my head. "It is of no use. I haven‘t got it, and I can‘t pay you.’ Whereupon he first laughed, and then suddenly caught me in his arms and cover- ed my face with kisses. " 1 have missed you dreadfully, Cathie," he whispered. "And now I can't have enough of you. Of course you know what I came for 2" He wanted me tomarry him and go home to England with him at once ; but I stipu- lated for another month’s delay, and at last I carried my point. He had brought me a resent, and he made me tike it out of the roast-pocket of his coat with my own hands. I found a jewellcr’s case, containing a brooch nud lacket to match of gold, with a snowdrop on each of pearls and emeralds. “ Do you remember that evening," asked Noel, still holding me as if he would never let me go, “and how infamously I behaved? How I admired you for your innocence and fearlessuess of allevil l It was marvellous to me. I have always thought of you as a little white suowdrop, Cathie: and, when I saw these things in a shop window, I took a fancy to them at once for your sake." II D «I O Q C Q I have not mentioned that Cyril Vane had made a will just before I married him, and had left all he possessed to me. But I could not bear to touch his money, nor would Noel have allowed me 1;) do so. \Ve found out that he had a. sister, a wld‘ ow with a large family, in very poor circum- stances, and I made over the property to her. It was heavily mortgaged, and not nearly of so much value as my father had supposed ; but it was sufficient to place her in a more comfortable position for the rest of her life. Q * ‘l C ’ O Q Once before I wrote that never was there a more forlorn and miserable bride than the one who went through the ceremony of marriage with Cyril Vane; so now I add that the sun never shone upon a happier girl than the one who is at last Noel Bercsford's wne. . \Ve are living on his beautiful estate in Blankshiro, and we are both exceedingly happy- , The long lovely lock of Rose’s golden hair lies before me on the table as I write.

I had heard much of the national institu- tion, and w glnd to see it under good escort. \Ve turned our steps toward the Lyceum, our slaves, of course, in attendance. I need not describe lhc building, as we all read Vitru- vius. But I wish I could so describe the scene within that my readers might see it as distinctly as I can recall it. We Englishmen can understand well enough the intercs of watching games in which we once excelled, and of looking on at feats of strength or skill which we used to practice. It comes not -l'- :1], therefore, to us to imagine ti 0 middle aged and elders of Athens often lboking into see their youii stcrs trained to manly vigor and activity. p to 18 years of age tucy them- selves had wrestled, and run, and boxed, and leaped, and thrown quoits, with as much en- ergy, I suppose, as we ivc to cricket. and rockets, and foot-ball. \"0 do not all of us cure to watch the feats of the gymnasium, for the re son that some of us were born in the pie-gymnastic ago in E gland, and so can- not truly criticise them or enter into their spirit.
