SIDNEY’S FOLLY CHAPTER XXII I. The snow was falling softly, cchring the town of Ashford. the park at Limbs. wold, and the pretty ornamental grounds surrounding Euthorpe with a pure spct- less covering charming to look at from fl...- windows of warmed and cosy rooms. Lu: no: so pleasant to encounter, if one WM cmnpeiled to be without at the time. A tirul wayfarer,a man who was walking wearily along the high-road leading to Ashford, which town he must walk hrough before he gut to his destination, shook it off his shoulders with an impati- o-n'. sigh as he went on his way. Sidney and Christine Grev'ille were in the former’s boudoir, watchin the flakes as they whirled and danced fore the windows, at one of which Sidney stood, an expression of perplexity and we on her faxr face as she IOUked out, while Chrirsiu was crouching over the fire, holding out to its warmth two tiny bands which were almost transparent in their cmaciation. It Would have been difficult for any one who had not seen Christine Gre- ville for two years to recognize her, and in the past few months especially the change in her had been very great. All her fierce resentment and rebellion against her brother's fate had faded now ; she no longer gave way to despair ; she had not strength to rebel; she could only suffer. In Christine’s life there was no hope ; all was black and dark and miserable, and it was no wonder that she drooch and fade-l. She had no bodily disease, the doctors said; they did not recognize that of a broken htart. But it was a broken heart which was killing Chrissie, assurer as if she had been a prey to consumption, or any other disease recognized by “ the faculty." fler brothers fate hung over her lines head cloud which was doomed never to_bc lifted. She had lovid bun with the great. and passiona‘e and. ab- sorbing love that one sometime-l meets with in a sister for an only brotl cr. Poor girl, her father had shown her too little affection to be a rival to his 5.“ ; and, when Frank was lost to her, she hsd no- thingâ€"~iiothiug-no earthly thing to take his place or to alleviate in any degree, however blight, the unuttersblc loneli- ness and misery of her life. She was too sensitive not to shrink from the well- mv-ii.t ell‘ortsof those who believed that IM'I' brother was the murderer of Squire lutlcdge to show that they did not wish to shun her on that account, or to include her in the shame which had fallen on her brother; and she looked upon them 88 her enemies, since they believed in his guilt-wand that belief was very general ; therefore, save for Sidney, the girl seem- ed utterly and terribly alone. Sim had been three days at Easthorpc now, having yielded with extreme reluct- anCi: to Sidney’scntrcatios that she should spend a few days with her; and Sidney had not dared yet to brunch the real cause of her wish to have her with her. “ 1 lith.‘ made up my mind to go abroad, never to return," Frank Greville had written. “Can you, in pity to us both, let me see Chrissie before I go?” And Sidney had written a few lines to tho address he had given her, saying that wasted but pretty face raised so eagerly to her own. “I mean that there may yet be some gleam: of sunshine in the future foryou," she said, smiling, but with quivering lips. “Ah, here is Bessie?" she added, as the. old woman entered with a tray. “ Now Chriaaie, you must take this. Thank you, Bessie; you need not wait." Notwithstanding Chriaaie's remons- tnnces, Sidney insisted on her drinking the beef-tea and the port~wine which the servant had brought: and Chrissie, seeing that it was useless to resist, swallowed l Christine's meeting them obediently; eagerly watching Sid-'ing Stephen would be seriously annoyed with her for being absent from the ball at Lambwwold she knew, and she felt that the only excuse that would hold good at all was Chrinie's illness ; but then Miss Grev lle's invalidiam was a recognized fact. and Sidney felt that. Stephen might easily say that she could spare her host- ess for a few hours. Once she thought of feigning illness herself ; but she was afraid her husband would insi~t upon re- maining at home with her. Another great difficulty was the utter impossibility of with her brother tak- place anywhere butin the house. hey the while as she moved rather rest- - Even had the time of year been summer, leasly about the room, taking up some of its pretty ornaments, then replacing them negligently, and finally coming back to her old position by Chrissie's side, and kneeling there until she had taken the re frabment of which she stood in such need. Then, when she had finished, and Bessie had been summoned and had to- ken sway the tray, Chrissie put her hand on Sidney‘s shoulder, and made her turn to her, smiling a little with tremulous white lips. “Sidney,” she said breathlessly, “what is it? What have you to tell me? You are trembling, and there are tears in your e es and you are smiling. What does it mean?" "It means that I have something to tell you," Sidney answered steadilyâ€" “something you will be glad to hear, I think, Chrissie." “Glad! I i" was the half-bitter, balf- ‘ incredulous rejoinder. “Could anything but one make me glad ; andâ€"-’ She broke off suddenly, and looked up eager- ly, with a look in her eyes which went to Sidn’e'y’s heart, “Sidney, is itâ€"is it about Her voice died away into a faint arti. culate whisper, and Sidney put her arms round her in quick anxiety, supporting her as she sat. The slender emaciated frame was shaking violently. “Chrissie,” she said steadily, although it required a great effort to keep her voice from trembling, “be brave, dear. How can I tell you what I must tell you, if you are so agitated? It is not bad news, darling," she went on tenderly, folding the trembling little form in her arms more closelyâ€"“not bad news indeedâ€" nay, it is almost good news, since Frank is well!" Christine could not. speak. Although her c es, wide and eager, searched Sid- light in her eyes and the hurried gasping breath showing that she lived. But for these, it might have been a. dead woman Sidney held in her tender clasping arms. “Frank is well,” she went on softly, “andâ€"and less unhappy than he has been; and he is even able to look for- ward with some degree of hope to the future. Nay, Chrissie, if you faint, I will tell you nothing more. See, dearâ€"try tobe brave for his sake, and I will tell you how I know that he is well," But for some minutes Chrissie’s agita- tion was so intense that Sidney dared not proceed. She lay gasping and panting in Sidney's arms ;snd when at last the pal- pitation ceased,sho was perfectly stren - he should see his sister, and fixing a night, [(53, and so weak that; it required an id- â€"ii night on which there was but a new lilooli~~fut him to come, if possible to Filstlmf‘pu. l’oor Sidney had hardly cal- culcstcd the difficulties in the way of the fulfilment of her promise, in. creased as they were by Chrissie's weak- ness and delicacy. Lloyd )Iilncr was still at Easthorpe, having prolonged his visit to be present at n fancy ball which Lady Eva was giv- ing at Iti‘InDSWUId; but Dolly had returned home to render what assistance she could to her mother, on assistance which the stall of servants of. Lambswold rendered quit.) unnecessary. But Dolly's absence was a relief to Sidney, and enabled her to devote all her time to her unhappy friend. For Lloyd was the most unex- acting of visitors ; ho was out most of the (lay shooting or hunting, or at the mills with Stephen, or at Lambswold, interest- ing himself in the details of the ball, and Sidney was comparatively free. As she stood at the window of her pretty boiidoir, looking out at the softly- fulling snow, the pcrplexity on her face deepened momentarily. A note from Frank that morning told her that he would be at Easthorpe that night, for tho emigrant-ship in which he had taken a passage was to leave London on the next day but one. Lady Eva’s fancy-ball was to the same evening. Sidney knew that the could not absent herself from it without cxcitingmuch comment and her husband's grave displeasure; yet what could she do? She could not dissappoint Frank and Chrissie, could not meet him without her oonnivunco. She was in a terrible strait, and her heart sank heavily as she felt that the only way out of it was to excite her husband's displeasure, and refuse, on whatever excuse she could, to go to his mother's ball. And almost as much a! 15.10 dreaded Siophon's reproaches she feared the effect of the communication she must IIlf\l\‘t‘ to Chrissie. At last she turned away from the win- dow and went ovur to the fire. her face very wistful and earnest as she knelt down by her friend‘s chair and took her hands in hers. “Do you feel better this morning?" she said cheerfully. “Mason tells me that your breakfast was a failure, Chrissie ; so l am going to administer some beef tm and port wine hero, and you must drink it all up. dear, because I want you to get stronger." “Why?” the girl asked droarily. “ I cannot see why you should wish that Sid- uoy, if you cam for me alittlc. as I know you do. Sometimes I spend an hour or two crying because this dying is such a tedious business." “Chrissie, you should not speak so!" Sidney said unstosdily, the tears rising in her eyes at the hopcdcss despair of her friend's tune. “I: is not right! ' “ Right 3 Perhaps not, dear,‘ snsWerod: “ but I can thelp it.

It was some time before Sidney dared proceed, and, while she knelt by the couch sooth- ing her with word and caress, she began to dread terribly the result of an inter- view with Frank, thinking sorrowfully to herself that Chrissie would never live through its intense excitement. “Tell me, tell me!" Chrissie murmured with pale lips ; and her eager pleading eyes repeated the entreaty yet more ur- gently. _ Sidney told her very simply, almost as if she. were speakin to a little child, sup- pressing much whi she knew could only pain her, telling of Frank’s love for her still and his hope that they should meet, of the steps, sheâ€"Sidneyâ€"had taken to prove his innocence, of the hope she cherished that some day it would be pro- ved, of his intention of going abroad and makings home there andbegiuning a new life ; and Chrissie listened breathlessly, with great hollow burning eyes fixed on her friend's face, and her little feeble hands hold fast in Sidney's warm clasp ; and, when the soft soothing tones died away,‘ the unhappy sister spoke for the first time. “ Sidney, how do you know all this 7" she asked faintly but eagerly. “Has be written to you ? Have you had letters then?" ' “He has written to me once or twice," Sidney answered gently, “ but only little notes.” “Thenâ€"~then you have seenâ€"â€" “Yes, I have seen him,dear.” “Where?” Chrissie tried to say, but the word died away on her lips. “He came here one night," Sidne sn- swored gently. “Nay dear, you use not tremble ; ho was disguised, and ran no risk, or very little, andâ€"-â€"Yes, cry, dear Chrissie ; do not try to check the tearsâ€"they will do you good. I saw him; and he was so well disguised that Iâ€"even I, Chrissieâ€"think of that lâ€"did not re- cognize him, or rather should not have recognized had I not known that that I should meet him ; and there was no risk, dear, because it was night and no one saw himâ€" no one but‘me. And now he has decided to go awayâ€"he can do so in all safety, I think-and make a homo for himself in one of these grand countries where hard work and persever- ance always succeed; and perhaps by-and by, when his innocence is proved. he will come home to us, Chrissie ; or, ifâ€"if it should be the will of Heaven that the stain should not be removed from him here, none will know of it there : and he will be respected and happy.

Let him be the poor girlhad hardly strength enough to herself to the summer-house where Sidney's first interview with Frank had taken place ; but now, with falling snow and a bitter wind it was out of ths question. Sidney had written this to Frank, and asked hfm if it were possible for him to wear such a disguise as would enable him to enter the house ; but she hadhadno reply, and she was quite ig- norant of his intentions, which added considerably to her suspense. Chrisaie's swoonhad been of short du- ration; but she had revived in such a state of hysterical agitation that Sidney had induced her to take a dose of chloral and she was now sleeping calmly on the sofa in the boudoir; and, leaving Bessie with her, Sidney went to her own room to try to think quietly over her difficulty and summon courage to meet it without arouso lug suspicion. As she entered her dressing room, the first thing which met her aye was the costume she was to wear in the evening which Bessie had spread out upon the sofa. Stephen himself had chosen the role for her, and had been interested in de- signing the dress. “She is so cold and white and pure,” he said to himself, “that ‘Ice' will suit her to perfection." And the costume was a triumph of art and beauty, with its 'rich shining draper- ies and crystals and icicles ; the great costumier to whom it had been intrusted had done his work well. “Everything seems to go against me 1" Sidney mumiured, leaning her head wear- ily against the window pane, as she look- ed out at. the falling snow. “Stephen will be so angry ; but what can I do i I cannot disappoint them both ! It is very hardâ€"oh, so hard, and I am so tired! Will Lloyd Milner suspect, I wonder 'I \Vell, it is the last risk we shall run, and theirs has been such a hard fate. How Will Chrissie bear it 2" Then she turned away from the win- dow and glanced rather wistfully at the beautiful dress. She would have liked to wear it, she thought; she would have liked to show Stephen that she appreci- ated his kindness, and she had still suf- ficient vanity to like to look her best. As it was, she would only vex him. He- would thus her not not going to the ball was a determination to annoy him, and she would have to bear in silence the look of grave displeasure and reproach :high hurt her so keenly. It was very ar . All the short winter day she was rest- less and ill at esse,and the sound of the wheels of her husband’s brougham made her heart beat to suffocation ; but she ran down-stairs and was in the library, with tea ready, when Stephen and his friend entered, chatting gaily and pleasantly ex- cited at the thought of the somewhat un- usual entertainment In store for them that evening. Once or twice Sidney glanced furtively over at her husband, as he lay back in a great deep arm-chair, resting luxuriously but looking somewhat weary and fatigued after the day’s work as he sipped his tea. How would she dare to tell him? she won dered ; and the thought haunted her per- sistently as she joined in the pleasant conversation, and poured out the fragrant yellow tea into the quaint dragon cups. Presently the evening letters were brought inâ€"two for Sidney, several for Lloyd Milner, and one for Stephen. As Sidney took hers from the little silver waiter that the servant had presented to her, she felt the color rush into her face. Both were addressed in unknown hand- writings and _both had the London post- mark ; and her fingers trembled so much that; she could not. open them. She put them on her lap and crossed her hands upgm them, as she sat by the little gipsy- ta la. The two young men were reading their own letters, and did not notice her agita- tion. Stephen’s was a long closelvarit- ten epistle from an old college-friend set- tled in New Zealand, and Mr. Milner's correspondence, relating to business-mat- ters, was very absorbing. Having con- cluded its perusal, he gathered up his let. ters and went away to his own room to answer them, leaving the husband and wife together. Sidney's opportunity had come. Steph~ en had finished his letter, and was star- ing into the fire with thoughtful eyes, pulling at his beard,as he often did when in deep thought, and he did not see the furtive anxiousglances his wife was cast- ing at him. More than once her lips parted, and she had almost said what she wished to say ; but the words did not come; and when half-past six o'clock struck, theywere still unspoken. As the clear single stroke sounded, Stephen stafted, glanced at-the clock, and said 88' yâ€" "We had better go and dress, Sidney ; it will take rather longer than usual, you know ; and I promised the mother we would be in good time for the dinner.” “Yr-s," Sidney answered faintly, “I will go directly ; butâ€"butâ€"do not wait. I want to sp ask to Toms before I go up- stairs." Stephcn rang the bell before he left the room, and hardly had the door closed af- ter him than Sidney tore open the letter which lay uppermost on her lap, and glanced at it with eager eyes. It ran thusâ€"â€" “Doctor Anderson will call at Eas- thorpe to-morrow evening at nine o'clock to see Miss Groville. As his stay at Ash- ford will be very limited, he hopes not to be disappointed of the Interview." For a moment Sidney stared at the note, puzzled and perplexed ; then like lightning its meaning flashed upon her, and she began to tremble exceedingly for- getting the other note in her startled terror. Sidney turned round with a start ; a at the door ; but, as her excuse to her usbsnd for remaining downstairs had been one s spur of the moment, she di bar that Stephen had rung. . , “No,” she said hurriedly, “I did not ; ring. Stayi"sho added hastilyss ho was: about to leave the room “A entleman~ a Doctor Andersonâ€"will hero thisl i not remem- , shown at once into my bouduir, as his; time is very limit‘d." i “Y¢o.ma’am."

Miss Greville was awake, the maid said, as she brushod Sidney's pretty chestnut hair, very nervous and faint still, but quieter than she had been; and Sidney wonder edif she dared trust Bessie with her part this evening. half decided that she would do so, and then shuddered at the thought that through any carelessness on the part of the 'old woman Doctor Anderson‘s identity might be discovered. . Stephen was just ready to leave his dressing-room, looking very handsome and distinguished in the white Louis XIII. Mmpletaire dress that he wore, when a timid knock sounded at his door; and he opened it, to use his wife standing there ciad in the glittering robes of her fancy dress, looking very beautiful, but white as herpure spotless draperies. “Stephen,” she said suddenly, speak- ing as if she were repeating some lesson she had learned, “will you bevery dis~ appointed if I do not go with you this evening?" ' “If you do not go with me this even- ing?" he echoed, the expression of eager admiration changing to one of cold dis- pleasure. “Why, are you ill?" “No; but Chrissie seems so ill that I think it is unkind to leave her " “Do you mean that she is ill enough to be in danger?" he asked more gently. “Is she worse? Shall I send a carriage for our father ?” “Noâ€"oh, no-she is not worse 1 But, Stephen, if you would not mind very much, I should like to stay ” She spoke very earnestly; but she did not raise her eyes to his as she stood be- fore him, he looking down at her gravely. “Have you considered my father’s and my mother's disappointment '1” he asked “Have you remembered that it is really the first entertainment they have given since our return, and that they would feel your absence 3 great slight? You say that Miss Greville is not worse,” he went on ; “therefore I must refuse your request, Sidney, unless you have some other special reason,” he added, with some significance, “for disregarding my wishes and theirs." “No, oh, no!” she returned eagerly, terrified at his meaning tone. “ No, no ; Chrissie is so lonely and unhappy ; and " I cannot have my wife’s eyes red to- night,” he said gently, putting his right arm round her as she stoodâ€"his left arm was still in a filing. “I want people to see what a beautiful ice-spirit. she makes, so white and pure and sweet, although I am afraid”-â€"-with a little laughâ€"“I don't want them to know what an ice- spirit she is to her husband. “You must go, Sidney.” “I cannot,” she murmured. not well ; I cannot go." He looked at her keenly for a minute, then drew her into his dressing-room, and, dismissing his valet, who was still there, said gravelyâ€"â€" “Sidney, Ido not often cross yourwishes; but,‘unless you desire seriously to dis- please me, unless you desire to show how little regard you have for my wishes, you will go with me.” “You make too much of it!” she an- swered, trying to speak carelessly. “I am not well, Stephen, and I am sure I should disgrace you to-night by a fit of hysterics or by fainting away 1 Don’t urge me to go.

There are at the present time many so- called patriots who do not cease to utter the old calumny that the J ew is averse to physical labor, and yet he is being de- barred from gaining his living by this means. The temporary prescriptions of Ignatiefl' did not go for enough for the Judeophobe objects of our patriotic ad- ministration, so they are to be made even more strict, with the result that Jewish agricultural laborers are to be expelled from the villages, where their families have been settled for time immemorial. Yet even the temporary prescriptions give them the right of residence until their contracts expired, or they transferr- ed their immovable property. In the district of ’l‘elchen, (Govern- ment of N owno) alone, upwards of eight hundred Jewish families will, within the next month, be compelled to give up their places of abode. A similar fate is in store for almost as many families in the Ponewesch district of the same Government ; and in other Governments expulsions continue to take place, though ons smaller scale. Still more lament- able are the prospects of Jewish artisans, who, availing themselves of the right of migrating from place to place without paying deduction money, have established themselves outside the Jewish zone of settlement. That they work when they have employment, and that their papers are in excellent order, no longer suffices and they must work even when they have none, otherwise they lay themselves open tothe danger of being denounced one fine day by the worthless spies of the de- tective police for not plying their occupa- tion,scharge which causes them to be mercilessly transported within ths zone of settlement. A case has been brought under my no- tice of a Jewish tailor who had lived for so many years in one and the same house, and had been employed by the Pristaw of the town, and who, notwithstanding the evidence of this functionary, was expelled from the place because he was found not . t) be at work.
