...,._,~.....,.. .- . . . _ BY CBARLEB GIBBON. ..__â€"-â€"â€" CHA'L’TER VI. The Overtou Park carriage was at. the gate of Cedar Cottage, and the foot- by Mrs. Dot-(m to bring her mother. and cousin to the grand juvenile fete Which was to celebrate the fifth birth- )irthday of Mr. and Mrs. Damon's only mild. little Hetty. The widow liked to cave the Overton carrage with its two fine bays standing in front. of her house and to have the footman in,his quiet let conspicuous livery standing at aer door; and whenever she was-sent (or, contrived to keep the equlpage waiting some time. On this occasion there was an extra delay, which was not Mrs. Silrverton's fault, but Daisy's. When ready to start, the postman had delivered a letter from Gilbert. It. informed her that he had arrived in; Liverpodl. and “as just starting for London, of course travelling under the name by which he was not known. He intended to make his way at once to the Cottage, and begged her, if she should be going out. to leave a mesâ€" sage appointing an early hour for a meeting. Certain information had reached him which explained Bacon’s strange illness, and he was most anx- ious to talk to her about it. Daisy had not concealed from Aunt Silverton the correspondence with Gil- bert; but as any communication be« tween Cedar Cottage and ‘that young man' wasIe-ntirelly disapproved of. she did not tell her much. Consequently, she was atalloss how to act inthe pres- ent juncture, being excited by the one expected intimation of Gilbert's speedy‘ arrivall'. His sudden return plainly in- dicated that some calamity was about to befallll the master of Overton Park. She determined to say nothing to her aunt untill she had seen Gilbert. and simply left a note with the housemaid for “Mr. Harrison" telling him where a message would find her. "I never knew you take so long to dress before. Daisy." exclaimed Mrs. Silrver'ton as she lay back in the car- riage with a delightful sense of her- own grandeur and importance; “and yet it is only a children's party." The fete was to be a very grand one. Dacon had attended to every detail) himself. determined to produce for his child a scene of fairy wonders which should transcend all the pictures in the Arabian Nights. The autumn tints of the foliage on the Park trees were to lend their aid to the effects produced by the t-housinds of Chinese lanterns which were cunninglry hung throughout the grounds; and a grand display of fireworks was to d‘ose the amusements of the young people after they were tired of dancing and feasting, and the home-bearing carriages were arriving. Five-year-ofld Hetty was at the top of the lawn. receiving her numerous tiny guests and their grown-up guard- ians with as much composurexas if she had been a queen accustomed to levees. Her father had made so much a com- paniou of her that she was old-fashion- ed and selfâ€"possessed without being rude or obtrusiveâ€"a rare combination in a child.‘ The onlv impatience she displayed was when she turned to_he.r mother with the repeated question: “But where is papa? Ila promised to' be here early. .and he always comes at the time. he says he willl." "He is late." said Mrs. Damon,~ stand- ing behind her daughter and looking anxiously down theavenue. “But. my dear. he cannot. always leave the office at a fixed hour. and he is very busy just now.” Then the fun commenced; and the. bands of merry youngsters were com ducted through the shrubbcry to the tennis-ground. which had been trans- formed into a miniature fair. There 'were swings and merry-gorounds. a Punch and Judy Show, a marionnette show; it conjurer's and a fortune-talk er's tents. and a fancy fair of toys of- evcry description. to be distributed ao- ocrding to the number taken from a wheelr-of-fortune at the entrance for every passer to dip in and draw out: a ticket. ‘llesides all this. there was a. 'brass band pluying with brassy loud- ness all sorts of merry ttmm to make hearts glad and fool patter chirpineg . on the smooth grass. And so. when the fun was at. its height. pom came home looking very “vary and linggurd. lie did not go out into the midst of tho. merry throng, but went straight up to his bedroom. and sent for his wife. "Don't make any fuss, dmr," he said, W‘hull shecame; “but I um too i'.l for anything except roin to bed. I wont to get. a sleep. fay )o I will wnkenyup refreshed enough to join the party. 69 on with dour arrangemmu a; if there “as noth. ing the mrltlvr. Prom'uae me that."

"Papa. papa!" cried ‘ittle Hetty,w'no had soxneliow discovorvd his arriva‘ and ruehotl into the room. her bright amber nir touched by the rays of the setting mu and ‘nuking like gold. “I am so glad you are here.

The mrriage had been sent from the Park I go nowâ€"I am so tired.“ He kissed her again and seeming to gasp for breath as he did so. The child. with a pretty toss of the head and a merry Laugh. skipped away to mingle with her bathe com ions in the pleasures so lavishly provided for them. ‘_‘I want. to have a sleep, Hefty." he said very tenderly to wife; "YW know 1 have not had any for many nights; but I feels drowsy now. So as the doctors my. I must sfeep if there is to be any chance of recovery. you wild not on any account try to waken me if you should find me in a doze.â€"'1'here now, go. and do what you can to make the little folks happy, and let me rat." The wife very reluctantly left him to return to her duties as h-(fitess; but she found it difficult to smile, although the merry shouts of laughter filled the atmosphere with a sense of unc.ouded Joy. l‘he twitight was fading into dark- ness when the fireworks were start- ed, .and three huge rockets ending in variegated sprays of lute and red in- augurated the programme. Before the first stick fell, a Icotman fmmdDaisy, and informed her that Mr. Harrison desired to see her. She immediately followed the man in the direction of the house. but had only gone about a score of paces when she saw a genullemun advancing towards her. She felt her hand grasped with a fervour which sent a thrill. of pleasure through her VulJLl and brought the hot buood mto her cheek-s. That. was Ull- bert’s grasp; but the sensation it. pro- duced . was somehow different from what; it used to be. In bygone times she trembled with the delight of touch- mg‘ 111.5 hand, because she believed it coufd never be her own. Now ll. seemed as if by some occuil-t influence he had conveyed to her mind one impressron that the hand was her own and brought with it a true and undivxded affection. You are 1101; sorry to see me here again?" he said. "i am very glad. always wished; but your frtg-htened me.(' A “Let us cross the fawn to the beeches.

Daisy observed with satisfaction that he .spok'e of "Mrs. Daron," not Hetly, as it used to be; and of course it; was right that he should do so. ‘But shel pretended not to observe the change! “What did he tell! you that could al- ter your resolution so suddenly?

"Then it was not. for Hefty?" “Oh, yes, for her too, and I fear what may happen to her. Dacon's letter told me that he was absolutely ruined."

The band was p.aying one of Strauss's gayest melodies, and the children were shouting to wild glee at every new marvel of the firework display, and yet Daisy and Gilbert heard that horse’s hoofs as distincuy as if there had been perfect stillness around them, and ev- ery Stamp was like a loud bugle-note of alarm in their ears.. “Them is something wrong at the house!" cried Daisy with instinctive dread. "That. man is going for the gosto’r. Come, Gilbert; we must 'help er.‘ He knew that she meant her cousin, and they were speedily convinced that she stood in sore need of help. The anxious wife had at intervals sto.en away from her guests to see how her husband fared. He seemed to be slot-ping so soundly that she feared .every fresh outburst of merriment, fest it should awaken him. B '-and-by she was rendered uneasy by is stillness, for he did not seem to breathe. She tom;th him, and he did not stir. “Hen- ry!” she whispered tenderly in his ear; but he made no response. Then. becom- ing alarmed, sh.) raLsed his arm, releas- ed it, and it fell lifeless by his side. She uttered a shriek of horror and anguish as she fell upon the bed beside the man she loved and believed to be so noble. The cry attracted a ser- vant, who at once brought Mrs. Silver- ton. That lady's dismay did not pre- vent her from promptly taking the practical measures necessary under the circumstances. She sent for the doc- tor, and had her insensible daughter re- moved to anoLher room, where Daisy presently came to assist in waiting up- on her. On the arrival! of the doctor, he said he could be of no service to Mr. Dacon, who had been dead for two hours at least: the cause of death was prussic acid. So Henry ~Dacom was consistent to the fast, and sought escape from the consequences of his follies at any cost save that of man-fully enduring them. In Dacon's private desk was found a packet addressed .‘to Gillbert Astbury, containing two documents. The first was a pLain acknowledgment of his guilt, and a full explanation of how the frauds for which Gilbert had been bfnmed were perpetrated. As a part- ner in the firm, Daeon had the right of endorsing mills, and he had forged the names of the correspondents who were supposed to have drawn them. in the ordinary course of business, Grillâ€" bert had got the billlls discounted and. received the money, which he handed to Dacon. Then it stated why Gill'- berl‘. had agreed to screen him at the sacrifice of his own good name. "But his sacrifice has been a torture to me," the confession of the miserable man went on. "I did hope to retrieve ev- erything by my daring speculations and to restore Astbury to his right position. I failed. Great as was the fortune left. to me, I have lost it all." The second paper was a better to Gil-â€" bert, in which the writer stated that he had now made the only reparation in his power, and left. him free to make any use of it that might best satisfy .Astbury's bargain . him. He only expressed the Wish of a dying man that some way might; .be found to keep his wife and child in Lg- ncrance of the post; . Gilbert showed the papers to Easy; and before he told her what he intend- ed to do, she said in her mum, wise lway: "W'e will put those things out of sight, and say nothing about them, Giuber‘t.‘ -You are safe, and that is enough for me. [Hefty is We'll off, thanks to the marriage settlements, and tlhat shouid satisfy”â€"she was going to say “you.” but arrested herself and said "us w‘lLâ€"But do you think you can for- give me for being wicked and spite- full about somethingi'f ' "I don'tlknowffllh-e anéwered, smiling as {he looked into those clear blue eyes. â€"â€""W:hat- are you spiteful about?” “1 cannot ihelp wishing Hetty to know that aid the time whilst; she was abusing you for blaming Daron, you were tearing up and burning the proofs of. his gui’lt‘and your innocence". . "Yes, Daisy, that was a hard time for me. Butwhi'lst doing it and suffer- ing her scorn, I was prt-paring the way for winning youâ€"my own better self." There could not havo been a more satisfactory .answer than that. They were not, however, cpmpolled to return to Rioâ€"although they did so fora time -â€"or to retain the; pseudt'mym of Harri- son.

Mrs. Daron and liar child still remain in the blissful faith that Henry Dacon was a paragon of manhood; and Hetty is sure that Gilbert L‘s-innocent be- cause "Henry had always said so." Mrs. Silverton carefully concealed the indig- nation she felt in regard to her de- ceased son-in-law for so recklessly squandering her daughter's great for- tune, as she considered it. She always took a lenient view of the sins of the rich: and success so completely restored Gilbert to her good graces, that even without the public announcement. of his innocence. she would have been pleased to distinguish him as “her dear friend and relative."
