The newly-married couple were to go to London first, and then pro- ceed to Paris and other Continenâ€" tal cities for their bridal trip. The sacred service, the pealing organ, the wedding breakfast, with Its laughter, buzz of voices, gorgeâ€" ous dresses and flashing jewels, the hurried removal of her bridal ar- ray for her travelling gown, all had passed to Nancy as a curious dream. She moved about like one who is absolutely conscious of no- thing, who is led by some strong inâ€" fluence, but beyond that is pow-en less to act for herself. She heard the false, honey-ed conâ€" gratulations in a dim, far-off way, fecling.it must be some other perâ€" son who stood there with a bouquet of flowers in-her hands and a car- riage waiting to conveylher away. But she woke with a sudden pang of agony to know that it was no dream, but all hideous reality, as Dorothy flung her arms about her and kissed her farewell, weeping unrestraincdly as she did so. Not till this moment did Nancy comprehend the fulness of the ag- ony entailed bythe sacrifice she had taken on her young shoulders; not till now did the fulness of her herâ€" ror, her fear, her loathing of Thomas Crawshaw come to her. As her distraught eyes, shining l sapphires in their deep-blue glory, rested on his common face, full of savage triumph and unmeasurable conceit, she gave One great shudder, and, drawing her hand from Doroâ€" thy’s, she ran down to the carri- age and entered it. If she stayed another moment, she felt she should cling to Sir Humphrey, or to Dr. Grantley, who was there as her oldest friend, and. implore them to. protect her, and save her from a life-of torture with this man for her' husband. Crawshaw was quick to see that shudder and that look of horror. His. face grew very dark, and wore a nasty expression as he took his seat beside her and the carriage. rolled away. He said nothing to her, however, and, horrible as his sullen presence l l . I came to a standstill at last, she was trembling in every limb. Crawshaw shambledout of the car- riage, and then, regardless of the etiquette or any remark, turned his back on the girl, and left her to alight at her own convenience, thereby provoking many glances of astonishment from the station-inas- ter and the porters, and making Baines flush angrily, and long to knock him down. The maid had previously been dis- , etched with Nancy’s luggage, and she had been informed by Mr. Crawshaw’s groom that she would' meet the bridegroom’s valet and her new fellow servant at the staâ€" tion. To her intense surprise, and no little disgust, this individual turned out to be none other than William, the discharged feutman from the liked, and for whom she had a su- preme contempt. “Like master, like man,” she said to herself, as she superintended the arrangement of the luggage with- out bestowing any but the curtest of greetings on her companion in service. “Well, I thank Heaven I am goâ€" ing to be with Miss Nancy, for I feel sure something awful would happen to her alone with these two . ikc lhorrid men.” I There was a self-satisfied expres- l l sion about William’s face that 'an- noycd her, and his flippant manner to the steady old station-master, who was, in Baines’ opinion, far above the valet in every way, roused her ire beyond description. “We shan’t be together long,” stood waiting for her young mis- tress to come, “before I give him apiece of my mind, or my name ain’t Esther Baines.” And at that moment she descried the carriage turning the corner of the lane, and prepared to receive Nancy. An angry flush spread over her honest face, followed by an angry beat of her heart, as she saw Mr. ; Grawshaw treat his young wife w1th l .such scant courtesy; but her anger . , 'v , ' . . .

With difficulty 'Baines restrained her tears; she felt she must not break down, or Nancy would be more distressed than ever. She looked at the girl imploringly. “What am I to do, miss '2” she asked, hurriedly. This direct indifference to him lashed Crawshaw to fury. “Do!” he shouted, “ do what I tell youâ€"be off. Come, I shan’t stand any impudence or nonsense, off you go!” Nancy put her hand up to her throat; the white flowers in her bouquet were not so pale as her face. “What if Irâ€"I refuse to let Baines go?” sle said, in low, choked tones, her pride and anger making her faint and weak. her fixedly. me, Nancy,” he said, in ominously : quiet tones, and with a shiver she understood him.

Noâ€"no, she had put her hand to the plough, she must not look complete, but, having taken it up, it' would be worse than madness to permit her uncle’s shame to become known now, when by simple sub~ mission to the tyrant’s will she could avert such a calamity. “Mr. Crawshaw’s wishes are mine,” she said, speaking incold, even tones, the effort of sheer des- peration, “therefore you must- butâ€"â€"” Baines made no answer; she could not control herself sufficiently to speak, for she did not know what she might not say if she began. Crawshaw’s eyes were full of tri- umph. “Come, Sharp’s the- WOW,” he remarked, as he turned on his heel and lurched away a few yards. “Baines,” Nancy whispered, eag- erly, “I want you to tell Miss Doro. thy that Slle-~She is not to try and do anything for me untilâ€"until I ask her help; and, Baines, say I entrcat, I beg, that she will never disclose my unhappiness to a soul. I can trust you, I know, Baines, but I do not want all the world to know the truth of mv marriage.” “Oh Miss Nancy 1 Oh Miss Nancy l” It was all poor Baines could say, 'and even if she had wished to speak {Crawshaw returned at that moment, and, without more ado, bundled her down the steps into the carriage.

He had flattered himself that he would only have to show himself to Nancy in his new feathers, and she Would be at his feet immediately. It seemed an utter impossibility than any woman could resist him and his wealth, more especially one who had lived in such poverty and hardship as Nancy had done. He had a long arrcar of petty spite and grudge to settle with this .girl, and his whole mind had hem occupied, directly she disappeared, in saving money to track her out and bring her to her bearings. Fate, or the devil, was good to him, for he came into his unexpectâ€" ed fortune at the verf moment when he learned, through his old compan- ion, Villiam. of her presence and .position at Ripstonc Hall.
