Twice has she knOcked and received no answer, But now, as she speaks. there is only a. moment's pause and the door is thrown open. The room is perfectly dark. and there is the unmis- takable smell of suddenly extinguished oil. , "I beg your pardon. your ladyship. 1 did not, know it was you." "Are you ill or hurt i’ " she questions. curiously, trying to peer through the. gloom. and if possible to see his face. "Oh! no: I am all right. thank you !" “Then why were you shut up here in the dark, and why did you refuse 'to come up stairs f" "‘J'he lamp has only just gone out."l he explains. “and I was feeling a little » tired." "But Rollo is; so ill, and keeps ask- ing for you," "Poor little fellow!” Won't you come to him even now 1" she asks. taken aback by .what it seems to her can only be intense selfishness. and yet it is not like him. not like what " she. has proved so often in his characâ€" ter. to be thus unmindful of the feel- ings of others. “If you wish it. I will," "of course I wish it. or I should not have come myself. tate before 'f ' "A man naturally pauses bcfore he. resolves by his own act to lose all." “Mr. Dare, what do you mean ‘f What is all this mystery f" questions Leigh. angrily. He hesitates. How can he tell her all? And yet further concealment is impossible. In the confusion of the fire he has lost both wig and glasses. and is at last himself confessed. He had hoped that perhaps he might sucâ€". need in finding them again at. night. when he could steal out and look for them without the fear of meeting any one, but Itollo‘s illness has made this out of the question now. he feels he cannot longer refuse to go. The child at least shall not stiffer from his load folly. But what shall he reply? Lady Leigh settles it for the pres- ent. "Come to Rollo first," she says, im- patiently ; "afterward I shall expect to hcar your explanation." "And I shall expect a patient hear- ing." he answers, with a: touch of grave pride. "l think that at; least is any due; it is the due of those who have committed the gravest faultsâ€"and mine is not the. ." She bows her head and turning. goes up stairs. he following meekly until they reach the nursery. Then she goes in and. standing under the full glare of the chandelier, beckons-him to come in, and he, obeys. At last they stand face to face, and though still ignorant of the motive. she guesses what his offense has been. Her . first. thought now is for her childâ€"that his already overstrained nerves should not be further taxed by the discovery that has so bewildered her. Quick as thought. she reaches up and put out the lights. ' "Rollo, he is here. Try to go to. slecp now as you promised." she whisp- crs. leaning over the boy's bed. The child stretches out his hands with a glad cry as Colonel Dare comes up. and then sinks back cxhausted, with closed cycs, only now and then Niniling contentedly as the quandam tutor sooths and comforts him, hold- ing his hand in a firm yet gentle clasp the while. - .By and by Rollo falls asleep. and Col- oncl Dare, quietly releasing himself, goes down again to where he guesses Lady l.eigh is waiting. She is seated in a huge armchair close to the table, on which she is drumming impatiently with her fingers. Her face flushes a little as Colonel Dare enters. "\\'c|l’-.l” shc says. questionineg, hardening hcrsclf into the air of hauleur which lately has been dis- carded. "Rollo is asleep." “I did not come. here to speak of. my sun.

"Why have you donc this thing?" shc gocs on. passionately. “Why must you selcct me as an object for your practical joke?

But. this last insult he does not bear ' so tamely. Colonel Dare is not gener- ally so slow in self-defense. "I was not the only one," he says. half-sullenly; "there were others as much to blame. only it happened you chose me." , "Tell me what you mean I" says Lady ; Leigh, peremptot‘ily. “It was a bet that in spite of your reputed hatred of men you would 'choose the handsomest that presented 'himself‘ for your son’s tutor,” be ex- , plains. unwillingly.

"Listen to me this once I" he pleads, passionately, gazing earnestly into her eyes and letting his whole heart hang upon her reply. He grasps the table tightly with one hand to support himself, and with the other pusth back the hair that in leaning forward has fallen over his face. , “There is nothing left to be said," she answers. moving away. “Once for all. ltell you, Colonel Dare, I doubt your honor and decline your love." The words in their icy coldness kill all hope, and, without an effort to de- tain her, he lets her go. 'J‘hen, di- rectly he is alone, he sinks back in his chair, utterly despairing. It is all over; the game. is played out, and thcrc is nothing left for him but to go. packed, and yet for a moment he. ling- love's sake, see if he can find one with her name in it. At last his search is rewarded. It is only a small lesson book of Rollo‘s, but it has once belonged to Rollo’s mother. lln it is written only one wordâ€"“Jen- ‘ny." And then, lost she should add the. crime of theft to those othcrs of which she has accused him, he loosens the watch from his chain and leaves it tbcrc with a written Slip of paper: " lr'or Rollo, with (icnvase Dares love."

" Mother. l have not thanked him yet lfor saving me I" -' Lady Leigh starts. She. too, hasbecn ireprehcnsibly negligent; not the slight- ‘est acknowledgmcnt has she given to ihimrfor risking his life to rescue that :which is dearer to her than her own. ;Can it be possible that she has been 530 ungrateful. so unwomanly, as never lie offer even a word of thanks f" What must: he have thought of her remissness‘! Surely he must have in wardly termed her a monster, callous lto her son’s danger, and too heartless to care. about, his safety. Instead of ,loading him with abuse. as she had idone, she ought to have faler at his feet and almost worshiped him as her .child’s prescrver. 5 And. now it .is she who will have to lplead for pardon and perhaps he will 3be as hard and as unforgiving as she gwas before. Her cheeks are dyed crim- ison as she remembers all the cruel. insolcnt' things she said, and how meek- ly he bore them, never reminding her .1 of the obligation she was under to him. .She must: go to him at once and apolo- gize. and. if he. goes-as she. supposes {peace between them. i “I have never thanked him myself :yet, Rollo,” she says humbly. “I must {go and find him now.” . l Catching up her dress, she riscs from ! her seat and runs down stairs. She; exâ€" : periences a little fright when she finds ' the door of the schoolroom wide open. ;.but at first reassures herst with the gidea that perhaps he is not up yet, lor, on the other hand, he may be out ;of doors already. . g She advances timidly into the room. ‘ and, to her fancy it wears a strangelyâ€" itleserted appearance. Then she notices , that his bedroom door is open, too, and coming more forw'ard‘still, she can 5.9.0 that the bed has not becnl slept in {and his portmanteau is gone. ' That he has left is plain, but there i is the hope that he may return to say farewell. If he loved her as he said ihe did he could not leave her thus; I but surely what she said was sufficient . to kill a passion of even a longer and istronger growth than this! Oh! how :she despises herself when she remem- -bers what she said to him! How she 'wishes she had bitten out her tongue 'rather than allowed it to utter such heartless, meaningless words I, For now, with asudden revulsion of feeling, she decides that he has not deserved the ;Ieast of them. He is all that; is good, [manly and brave; how could she re- . ward him so ill for the patience he has ishown her child? Since his advent Rollo has become ‘30 much stronger, and yet more. obed- lient and gentle in his manna-rs; the ,dreary old house, too, has been perâ€" .ceptibly brightened, and even Tabitha ihas softened toward the new inmate. iNow the old routine will recommcnc .. and there will be no break in it; she realizes at. once how much they will miss him. Then she catches sight of the‘ watch. with the pcnciled words beside it, and begin“ to Weepâ€"not; slormily, but very, very sadly, as one. who has . lost; a dear friend. i And Rolloâ€"how is she. to break it i to him 3 Tabitha. entering, disturbs her ireverie.

' “I knew how it-wonld be: he’d never like us all crowding rbuud and thanking him. and hc such a quiet. .man. too! I thought as how he‘d keep‘ 'out of the way for awhile." T "It is not that.

She goes buck to Rollo and tells him the lmd news and his reproachful comment upon it crushes her altogether. “ Mother. how could you let him go 7" After this she has no thoughtJmmh enough for her conduct and no praise warm enough for Coloncl Dare.

" Never. Two months ago I had a let.- tcr from him inclosing sixty pounds, six months' donation in advance.

Indeed. unless he loves her so well that in spite of all she has said, he is constrained to see her again. how can theyever hope. to meet? Her own life is so isolated, and where he is she does not. know. Then a thought comes into Lady Leigh's head which she resolves to put; into execution. She will live in this seclusion no longer .She will go out into the world and into society. and if she cannot find him. at least it. will help her to forget. The idea gives a new incentive to lifeuand her step is as buoyant as it was ycars ago, before trouble came, when she returns to the house. .'l‘abil ha is dusting the ornaments in her room when she goes in, and makes a. movement to go, but Lady Leigh stops her.

"Don’t. be. stupid. Tabitha: the fact. is. lâ€"l am going into society again nnd~â€"” or answers the woman. with quickly-aroused pride." It would never do to be behind any of. the other ' flower of them all. I'll never stand in your light. my but if you will just let me wait on you when no one is thereâ€"â€"-" It. is Lady Leighs turn to interrupt. which she does with a reproach'ttl smile. "Tabitha. do you think I could part with you? The man-servants can wait on my guests: but you-you shall al- ways be my own maid and truest friend. “’hat. should I do without you after all them ycarsf" Tabitha bursts out crying and burics her face in the duster. of selfâ€"sacrifice. when it. is so purely. a. matter of self-consideration. and yet. how can she. even to 'I‘abitha. confess the motive that is calling her into the world again? Womanliness forbids her to tell all her thoughts: honesty prompts her to disown a virhte 'that in this case she does not possess. "There are many reasons why it will be best," shc answch evasiv‘oly.
