" Well, my friend," said the general. “ in this world New oiie does as he or she likes ; but to disiuherit that girl. with the face and spirit of a true Darrell, and to put a fair. amiable, blond» stranger in her place. was, to say the least, eccentlic~the world Will deem it so, at any rate.

Verily tastes differ," thought “18 general, as he watched the two, contrasted them, and lost himself in wonder ow‘er his friend’s folly. He took his leave soon afterward, gravely musing on what he could not understandâ€" whx his old friend had done what seemed to him a rash; ill~judged deed. He left Sir Oswald in a state of great dia- comfort. Of course he loved his wifeâ€"loved her with a blind infatuation that did more honour to his heart than his;head-hnt he had always relied on implicitly on the general‘a judgment. He found himself half wishing that in this, the crowning action of his life, he had consulted his old friend. He never knew how that clever woman of the World, Lady Hampton, had sucrct‘y 1n- flueuced him. He believe! that he had acted eutimly on his own clear judgment; and now, for the first time, he duubtud that. " You 100k anxious, Oswald," said Lady Darrell, as she bent down and with her fresh sweet young lips touched his brow. “ lias anything troubled you 2" “ Eu, my darling," he replied ; “ I do not feel quite \vell, though. 1 have had a dull, uerwus hcavmess about me all dayâ€"n strange sensation of 1min too. 1 shall be better twmorrow." “ If not," -she said, sweetly," “ I shall insist on your seeing Doctor Helmstoue. I am quit» uneasy about you." “ you are why kind to me," he mpomlcd, gainfully. lint all her uneasinnas did not prevent her drawing the white lace round her gracdul uhuulders and taking up the third volume of a novel in which she was deeply interested, while Sir Oswald, looking older and gru‘ur than ho had looked before, went into the garden for a stroll. 'l‘hc sunbenms were so 10th to go; they lingered even now on vtlne tips at the trees and fluwum ; they lingered on thalake and in the rippling Iprny of the fountains. Sit Oswald sat ddwn on the lake» aide. llul he done wrong? Was it I foolish mistake -oue that he could not undo! Was Paulina indeed the grandmol‘le, queenly girl his friend had thought her I Would she have made a mistha suitable for Darrell Court, or had he done right to bring this fair. hlonde stranger into his homeâ€"this dearly loved young wife?

But when death come he must. [ewe it. and a dull, uneasy foreboding came over him as to what he slmuld do in {wont of his idolized home. As he looked at it, tears rose in his eyes ; and than he saw Pauline standing a little way {mm him, the proud. beautiful face softened into tenderness, the dark eyes full of kindness. She went up to him more afl’ectionately than she had ever done 'in her life ; she knelt on the grass by his side. "Uncle,” she said; quietly, “ you look Very ill ; are you in trouble 2” lie hold oht his hands to her; at the sound of her voice all his heart seemed to go out to this glorious daughter of the “ Pauline,” he said, in 3 low, broken voice, “ I am thinking‘of youâ€"I am wonder- ing about you. flaws I doneâ€"I wonder, have I done wrong .2" A clear light flashen into her noble face. “ Do you refer to Darrell Court 1" she asked. “ If you do, you have done wrong. ‘1 think you might have trusted me. 1 have many faults, but I am a true Darrell. I would have done full justice to the trust. ” “ I ‘never thought so,” he returned. feebly ; “ and I did it all for the best, as L imagined, Pauline." “ I know you did~ â€"I am sure you did,’ she agreed, eagerly ; " I never thought otherwise. It was not you uncle. 1 under- stand all that was brought to bear upon you: You are a Darrell, honourable, loyal, true ; you do not understand anything that is not straight-forward. I do, because my life has been so different flow yours.” He was looking at her with a strange? wavering expression in his face; the girl’q eyes. full of sympathy, were turned on him. " Pauline," he said, feebly, “if I have done wrongâ€"mud oh. I am so loth to belieife itâ€"you will forgive me, my dear. will you not 2” For the first time he held out his arms to her ; for the first time she went close to him and kissed his face. It was well that Lady Hampton was not there to see. Paulina hoai'd him murmur something about ,“ a true Darrellâ€"the last of the Dal-tells." and when she raised her head ghe found that Sir Oswald had fdlen into a deep, deadly swoon. CHAPTER XXVI“. READING OF THE \VILL. ' Assistance was soon procured, and Sir Oswald was carried to his room; Doctor Helmatoue was sent for, ‘and when he or rived the whole house was in {coniuoiom Lady Darrell wrung her hands in the moat graceful distress. ‘Now, Elinor." sair! La-ly Hampton, “ pray do not. give way to anything of that kind. It is a fortunate thing for you that I am here, Let me beg of you to remember that. wh'ntever happens, you are magnificent- ly provided for. Sir Oswald told me as much. There is really no need to excite yourself in that. fashion." While Lady Darrell, with a few gmeful cxclmnations, and 5 very pretty show 0; narrow, managed to attract all possible sym. pnihy. Pauline moved about with a still. cold face, which those best understood who knew her nature. It seemed incredible to the girl that anything unexpected should happen to her uncle. She had only just begun to love him ; that evening had brought these two proud hearts closer together than thr y had ever been ; the ice were broken ; each had a gnmiuering perception of the real character of the otherâ€"n perception that in time would have developed into perfect love. It seemed too hard that after he had just begun to like herâ€"that es eon- as o fresh and genuine sentiment v.13 springing up he- t‘u'een themâ€"he must die. For it 1m! come to that.

To all inquiring u to the health of her nicee. she replied, “ Poor. dear [Ally Darrell is bur- ing up Womlurfnlly ;" 3nd with the help of “Lelia little speech", the frequent u -- . l a viuiagrette, a. few mu. md coma unithlo self-condolence, thnt luly did bear up. Strange to say, the one who felt the Room eat sorrow. the deepen tegret. the finest pain. was the New with whom Sir Olwdd Ind continually found fault, and whom 110 Ind diainherited. She went about with sorrow on her face: more eloquent thui words. Lsdy Hampton said it we: all assumed ; but Lady Darrell said, more gently, that Pauline wss not a girl to sssnme a. grief she did not feel. So the harouet died after a week of severe illness, during which he never 'regsined the power of speech, nor could make himself in- telligible. The most distressing thing‘wu that there was something which he wished to sayâ€"something that he desired to msko them understand. When Psaline was in the room his eyes followed her with s. wist- ful glance, pitiful, sad, distressing ; he evi- dently wished to say something, but had not the power.- __ -.- ‘ With that wish unexplained he died, uni they never knew what it was. Only Pmlino ‘ thought that he meant, even, at the last in ask her forgiveness and to do her justice. Darrell Court was thrown into deepest mourning ; the servants Went about will hushed foobtepo and sorrowful 'feoea. 110‘ had been kind to them, i this stately old muster ; and who knew what might hn‘ppen under the'new regime 1' Lady Hampton was, she assured every one, quite overwhelmed with business. She had to make all business arrangements for the funeral, to orier an the mourning, while Lady Darrell was sup. posed to be overwhelmed with sorrow in the l retirement of her-own room. ‘ One fine spring morning, while the pretty bluehcl’is were swaying in the wind, and the hawthorn was shining pink and white oaths hedges, while the birds snug and the sun shone Sir Oswald Darrell was buried. and the secret of what he had wished to any or have done was haried wish him. At Latly Darrell's suggestion, Captain Lnngt n was sent for to attend the funeral. It was a grand and stately procession.
