She was silent for a few minutesâ€"perhaps life held no more solemn interval for herâ€"- and then her face grew pole even to the lips, and she laid her hands in his. "I promise to be your wife, Allan," she paid gently. “ and to love you while I ive." flow be thanked her! flow be blessed her. He was like a man whose seasons were wrapped in some great mtaay. And then he bent over her. “I may kiss the face of my promised wife," he said; and she raised her face to his. He saw that on it there was a light pure and radiant as though it shone clear from heaven. “This is our betrothal, Margarita,” he said, softly. “Now for all time you are mine." They stood silent for some minutes, and then ht: saidâ€" “ When shall I speak to Lady Daven- aut ?" “Not yet,” she replied. “ Allan, I would so much rather that she did not know while I am here. I perceive all the incongruities of our marriage myself, but I could Lot bear to be told of them by another. Lady Daven- ant is very proud. in what she calls her ‘ order,’ and she would be so severe. so hard, that she would make inc miserable." "Then I will say nothing to her luntil you 5 have left, Margarita; but you must go at once, dear. I cannot have my promised wife work- ing in this fashion.” " I will go whenever you like,’ spondcd. Allan took from his finger a ring with one diamondâ€"4) beautiful, flashing gcm. “ Mar arita," he said, “this must be our she rc- hetrotha ring. I will brinvr you another later on, but now you will take this." He placed the rin ' on her finger, and then he kiised her. “How you belong to me," he added ; “ and nothing but death can part us.” And then the heard the voice of little Maud crying, am Miss Avcncl hurried away. The child looked up at her with wondering c 'cs. "‘thrc have you been, Miss Avcnel I" she inquired. “ Ilow bright your face looks! And your eyes shine like stars ! What have you been doing?” “ I have been very happy, .dcar, was Margarita’s quiet reply, as she knelt by the child's side. " “hat is that shining on your hand?" she askcd. Margarita smiled. ' “ This is a pledge of future happiness to me," she answered ; and the little one raised her eyes wouderiugly to the beautiful face. " 1 do not understand,” she said, quietly; and those were the last intelligible words that Maud spoke for many long days. A violent attack of fever seized her, and placed her life in deadly danger. CHAPTER XI. All Allan‘s plans were disarruugcd by the sudden illness of little Maud.

The only real: she ever had came to her in Margarita's arms. The burning head seemed to find cool repose on Mar 'arita’s breast. The little hot hands would c iiig to herâ€"the burning cycs followed her from one part of the room to the other. flow could she think of herselfâ€"of her own happy lovc, oflcaving, of the bright future awaiting her? How could she think of it all when the little one who lovcd her liiy between life and death? All the visitors departed from the l’riory when the nature of the child‘s illness became knownâ€"dill cxcc it Allan listcourt; he declar- cd that the child's aihiicnt did not release him, that he would stay and keep Sir Charles from growing quite loncly. flu did remain until the pub: snow drops begun to appear, and then he was coliipcllcd to return to Lon- (liill. llut he did not take his departure until Miss Avcncl and her little charge had gone, by Lady DaVcnaiit's desire, to 'l‘orquay. There was one gleam of comfort ; he could write to Margarita thcrc as often as he likcd-â€"-thcro would he no one to remark upon the number of his lcttcis. llc didnot go down to see her, bccauss she asked him not to do so until the child had quite re- covered. So during the months of March and April Margarita remained at tho sea-side, ha \py beyond words, beyond measure. in Alan's loveâ€"so ha ipy that as she passed along tho streets and roads people looked at tho lovely radiant face, and wondered at the light shining on it. It was ~ncarly the cud of May before the doctor thought it safe for little Maud to re- turn to her own home, and even then Mar- garita decided upon waiting some time lon~ germâ€"vii only a wch or twoâ€"for she know the child could not cnilurc to be parted from her. llut Allan grew impatient ; it was Christ- mas that she had pmmiscd to be his wife, and -’ now it was June, and he told her he should gin.- hcr but one week longer, and then she must really tell Lady llavciiant that she was going to leave her.

And then came his great and bitter disap- xiintmcut. Instead of being able to take iis bountiful Margarita to Walton Court, and lavish on her every luxury that money could purchase, he was a ioor man, unable to live at the Court at of . Nay, he knew further that his means did not justify him in iiizirryiug~~tliat he ought not to marry ; for, live as carefully as he might he would have have. as much as ho could [mvibly do to pay all his debts in a couple of years. He ivad and I’v-n‘ad Margarita‘s letters ~ ho hncw her faithful heart so well then that no dawn of fear arose is his heart. She would love him pour just as wellas rich- perhaps even more. - But what was he to do about marrying her? It would be the height of folly to take her to Mrs. Ferguson's and to be at the ex- pcnm of a brilliant wulding Mich as he had intended. But Margarita was leaving [Aston l‘riory : it was not to be expected that Lady Ilavcnsut would again dimrrangc her plans by inking her to stay, and, if she took anoth- er situation. why. he might not be able tome her at all. After long «midi-ration he decided u asking her to meet him : he could tell er than what had happened for better than he coan write.

Do you not see, Allan, that riches are comparative, after all? You despise a thousand a year ; to one brought u like 'ourself it is nothing. to me it seems uud ess wealth. I cannot tell you how I grieve for you, Allan. how I sym- pathize with youâ€"not for my own sake at all, but for yours. I am full of burning in- dignation against those who have disap- pointed yon. If your kinsmau were not dead, I should dare to say what I think of him. Being dead, I will say nothing. But this interlopcrâ€"this girl who has come be- tween you aud our fortuneâ€"who has in some measure b ightcd your lifeâ€"I detest her." He looked up quickly. remembering how unwilling Adelaide had been to take the money. “It was not her fault,” he said, quick- t dew: and flower: and shinin I b ossoms? Ye have always met before in t e cold and snow.” “ I remember", she re lied. With a bri ht smile e drew back his handsome heal . “ I do not see bowan man could be more blessed than I am. I iave June sunshine, June roses, and you." He did not certainly just then look like a ruined man. She had never seen him bright- cr or more sanguine. “ l have so much to talk over with you," he said ; “ but, before I begin, raise those dark sweet eyes of yours, and say you are glad to see me.” " You know that I am.” “Say so, and then I shall be quite sure." She said it and how earnestly she meant it he knew by the expression of her face and the light in her eyesâ€"and then she looked at him again with a shy. happy look. “ You are no longer Allan I‘Lstwurt," she said, “» You are Lord Rylestone now." No answering smile came to his lips. “My darling Margarita,” he said, “the title is full of mortification for me. I would give anything to be Allan Fstmurt again." “Why 2" she asked in amazement. “That is just what I have come to tell on. Let me find on a place here amongst the clustering bare 115, where you can sit at your case and listen while I tell you my story. When I asked you to marry me, Mar- rarita, I was ha py in thinking of the wealth that would Ilie mine, because I meant to lavish it all on you, sweetâ€"to purchase shining gems and rich dresses for youâ€" to give you everything that a. woman’s heart most desires. I valued it for that, and not for any selfish rcason~that I swear to on." ' . y “ I am quite sure of it,"slic returned. “ Then you can picture to yourself my agony of disappointment when I found that the wealth I wanted for your sweet sake was not, and never could be, mine.” She looked up at him with wondering cs. " But you are Lord Rylcstonc '2" she inter- rogated. “ Yes, that is the unfair, the unjust part of it. I am Lord Rylestone, but I have nothing to keep up my title or position with.” “ But you have “'alton 2'” she said. “Yes, I have \Valton ;butI cannot afford to live there. I will explain to you, Mar- garita. The barony of ylestone was once a very wealthy one ; but its wealth has dwindled and dwindled, through the extra- vagance of some and the folly or misfor- tune of others, until the entailed property yields an income of only one thousand a year. Of course \V'altoii Court goes with it." “But a. thousand in. year is a good deal," she observed. “It is not half sufficient to keep up such a place as the Court,” he said, si 'hing. “You understand, then, Margaritaâ€" am left with title of Baron Ilylcstouc of Rylcstonc and \Valton Court, with an income of one thou- sand it yearâ€"about the most absurd position in which a man was ever placed. The Ryle- stones have always had money which was not entailed, but which it has always been the custom to bequeath from father to son. T be late Lord Bernard Rylestone had a. for- tune of fifteen thousand per annum, quite independent of the Ry estone property. Some of it came to him from his mother, who was a wealthy heiress, and some from his godduthcr, who was a millionaire. On this fifteen thousand per annum he lived in vreat state at “'alton. He kept up a prince- y establishmentâ€"he made me asplcndid al- lowance; and I always most implicitly be- lieved that, when I succeeded to “'altou Court, that money would be mine." “ And it is not?" she interrogated quietly. “No, it is notâ€"it is all left to the late Lord Itylcstonc‘s niece, Miss Adelaide Cain- cron. She is his heiress; and for your sake, my swuct Margarita, it is a bittcrdisappoint- mth to me." She sat silent for some few minutes, and then she looked at him. “Allan,” she said, quietly, “ is it Miss Cameron. Lord Itylestonc's heiress, that you ought to marry, and not myself." “Nevertheless, I detest her, because your life is spoiled through her. Oh, Allen, if I had been in her place, I should have given the money back to you again !” “She would have done so had the law per- mitted her, but it will not. She cannot giv- it to me ; she is compelled to take it one spend it.” “ \tht did you tell me Allan ‘3” “Adelaide Cameron,” he replied, and she repeated it after him. ' “Adelaide Cameron, Lord Rylcstone’s heiress. Have you seen her often? Do you know her well ?” “I have seen her only once, and then we did not spend much time together.” “ Is she beautiful '2" asked Margarita. “ Yes," he replied ; “she is fl lovely blonde.” He saw a whole world of meaning iii-the dark, troubled eyes. “Oh, Allan,” she said, after a time, “it is I who has spoiled your life I After all, if you had never seen me, you might have married Miss Cameron." “I am quite sure that I never should have done so," he returned, gently; and then he told her it was cruel and unkind to say such things to himâ€"that by this time she ou rlit to believe the greatest happiness of his ife was centered in her; and she listened, happy in the belief. \Vhile the wind stirred the hurebells and wooed the wild roses, he told her all the story of his debts, the money left to him, and how he hoped to add to his income by obtaining some position under Government. She listened like one in a. dream. “ There is only one thing that really trou- bles me, Margarita, and that is about your- self. I had ho cd so much that I could have carried out a I my plans for you. Darling, you are sorry for me, I know." Yes, he knew she could add nothing to his knowledge. “ “fill you do something that shall take away all my disappointnieutâ€"turn my sor- row into joyâ€"make me always bless the (lay whereon .

Sec, Margarita, I am lost just now and distracted. I do not quite know what to do with myself. My life all seems scattered. If you will do what I ask, it will be my redemption." ‘ “ But it is so soon,” she said. “ That does not matter; no one need know.

So they parted; and Margarita Avenel, as she watched the tall figure of her lover dis- appear amid tbe trees, raised her face to the summer skies, and prayed that she might love hiiu as no wife ever loved her husband before. “ Some people live for many things,” she said to herself; “I will live only for M," And with fatal earnestness of purpose she afeerward kept her word. . Once or twice that day Lady Davcuunt looked at her governess, wondering at the lofty expression, the clear light on the beautiful faceâ€"the light of holy and noble resolve. (TO BE cox'rixcnn.) OCEAN TRAVEL. Few Steamshlps for tho lWhlto Star blueâ€"The Arabic and Coptic De- scribed. two very important additions to its fleet in the new steamships Arabic and Coptic, built by Messrs. Harland 8t \Volfl‘, of Belfast. The Arabic arrived in the Mersey on Sep- tember 13th from Belfast, and the Coptic was launched September 10th. They are to be alike in appearance and arrangements, and to be sister ships. These steamers will be of the same general character as the other \Vhito Star boats, having a long, graceful, yacht-like hull, with ample beam, four masts, shiprigged in three, and the fourth is named the jigger, Like the Brit- annic and Germanic, they have turtle'liucks, both forward and aft, on which the waves’ crests fall in misty spray, and relieve the vessel of the rolling seas which otherwise would inundate the decks. The officers’ quarters are in the dcckliouse, on main deck forward, close to and convenient to their work, and quite apart from passen- gers, so that there is nothing to interfere with their neodful rest or the efficient ox- ecutiou of their responsible duties. The accommodation for the saloon passengers is of the most satisfactory description. It is situated ninidships, immediately forward of the engines and boilers, where the least mo- tion is felt. The saloon, or dining-room proper, is approached by a very iiAanDMB ENTRANCE hall from the mam (lock, panelled with wal- nut and maple, and from it there is access to the upper or saloon deck already alluded to by an easy double staircase, with bronze and mahogany balustrading. The saloon is beautifully and most artistically decorated, and forms a most charming apartment. The panelling has the appearance of embossed leather, the rclicvos being so delicately and harmoniously colored that they leave a most novel and pleasing impression on the mind. The sofas at the sides, upholstered in a subdued shade of rich olive-green vcl- vet, are luxuriously comfortable. The cone- seatcd, revolving chairs are quite a new feature in the furnishing of steamers. The ship is illuminated throughout by the Swan i system of electric light. and everything , which the inventor and the best engineer- I mg SKILL COULD DEVISE . to insure its perfect working has been done I with the most satisfactory results. The light is exceedingly soft and bright, and, at the same time, perfectly steady and free from flickering. The engine which supplies . the motive power is something of a novelty. It is really acombination of three engines in one ; it is this combination which makes I the vessel. The principle on which it has been introduced on board the Arabic proves , most satisfactorily the ossibiliy of using it, ‘ just as gas or oil is media private dwellings thoonly question to beconsidcredbeingthat of cost. - The steamship Arabic is divided into eight water-tight compartments, any of which many be penetrated without imperil- liu the vessel‘s safety ; and it may be truly sail that no vessel afloat excels her in the efficiency and perfection of arrangements in this respect. The bulkhead watentight doors are so much approved of that they have been copied in her Majesty's navy as something infinitely SUPERIOR T0 Till: 0L1) SYSTEM of bulkhead. The Arabic is built of mild steel, the ductile quality of which assures the maximum of strength and durability. IIcr dimensions are: Length, 430 feet; breadth, 4'2 feet; depth, 24 feet; and the gross registered tonnage, 4,368 tons. She has two double cylindercd engines of 450 horse-power, built by Messrs. J. Jack 8: (10., of the Victoria. Engine “'orks, Liverpool, the steam for which is supplied from three elliptical boilers, working at a nominal pres- sure, and capable of bearing even much greater pressure than the maximum oflicial reiuircmciits. 0n the passage over from Re fast to Liverpool the engines worked perfectly, and without the slightest hitch of any description. The Arabic sailed on her first voyage to New York on Scptcmbcr 10th, under the Cunard flag. that company having secured her from thOIWhitc Star Line for one tri .

Several sportsmen in pursuit of e in Formentcra, one of the Balearic ls- ands, suddenly came upon a deep excava- tion, the entrance to which was covered by bushes and undergrowth. They proceeded to explore it, and having with some difficul- ty removed several large stones found them- selves in a well-built chamber of Moorish dc‘ sign, the walls of which were ornamented With undeciphcnble characters.
