The afternoon was growing late when the wedding guests, all eXcept Tessa, departed to their homes.

Fires were lighted in the parlours and basement dining room,.with an extmvngzmee bordering upon reck- lessness. Tessa had furnished the house after her own design, at Den- nis’s request, and though the furni- ture was simple and plain, it had been selected and armngal with the taste of an at tist, and gave an air of actual elegance to the small, snug rooms.

The attempted treachery and imposi- tion 1f Helm had been a great shock to her. She exmrienced a forebod- ing that Lord Thornhnrst had seen Col. Redwth's advertisement for the stolen childinthe T {mes neWspaper, and that he would connect that ad- vertisement with her journey to London, and accuse her of deceit and undue reticence. She feared also, with a keener, sharper pang, that all her father’s efforts to find the missing Georgia would utterly fail of success. We may as Well state here having omitted to do so else- where, that the advertisements of both Captain Holm and Col. Red- rnth had utterly escaped the eyes of any person interested in Tessa, or cognizant of her history. After her father's death. Agnes Stacy had ‘ given up all daily journalsasa need- ‘less piece of extravagance. Reuben ; Dennis. anxious to lay up money in ‘, every way towards his expected marâ€" riage, and willing to economize in his personal expenses to the utmost farthing, that he might have the more to spend upon Tessa and upon Agnes thereafter, had also given up his daily Telegraph, obtaining a knowledge of the current news of the day from the posters at the news stand in the street. And wei may also explain that. had Dennis or 1 Agnes seen the Colonel's notice, they , would not have recognized in ‘ Geor- ; gia' Helm their lovely little Tessa. 1 Lady Thornhurst arrived at Cot- ' tingham about the middle of the 1 short December, afternoon. As Shel stepped out upon the platform of the 4 station, she was met by Lord Thorn- 1 hurst, whose noble Saxon face tower- ed high above the surmundinggroup of waiting passengers. He gave her his arm, his blue eyes glowing with delight, and his fan- face flushed like the face ofa lover. Leaning upon him, the marrhioness was conducted to their waiting carriage. The Mar- quis handed her in, followed after her. the wdered footman closed the door, t e homosstarted. and they were on their 'way over the pleasant "wind-swept Yorkshire roads toward Th irnhurst. The wife sank wearily back on the soft cushions, and. Lord Thomhurst took her hands in his, his face expressing anxious concern. ' You 100k utterly exhausted, lg- natigt ‘ I fog! you ugggiug to_b_e ill 2’ As the reader knows, her ladyship left London upon the morning ofrche day before Chfistmas. Go]. Red- ruth's advertisement for the loSt Georgia Holm. our gay bright :ittle Tessa, had appeared in the Times of the previous day, and no answer had been received to it. The Colo- nel lingered in Londim to repeat the advertisement and to extend his searches, while the Marchioness. con- strained by a sense of duty and hm- pitality, journeyed back to York- shim to eqaet: her part as hostess to THE V2803 0!’ 1‘8! 81012]. The Christmas-day which was so full of quiet enjoyment for Tessa Holm and her humble friends, at Team's lodgings in the New Kent Road, was an eventful day in the history of the buntiful Marchioncss of Thomhurst.
