It was a beautiful day,-â€"-which was so much in favor of Mrs. Frank Armour in re- lation to her husband’s people. General Armouv and his wife had come down from I London by the latest train possible, that their suspense at Liverpool might be short. They said little to each other, but when they did speak it was of things very differ- ent from the skeleton which they expected‘ to put into the family cupboard presently. Euh was trying to spare the other. It was very touching. They naturally looked upon the matter in its most unpromising light, because an Indian was an Indian, and this unknown savage from Fort Charles was in sioleut contrast to such desirable persons as 'ady Agnes Martling. Not that the Armours were zealous of mere money and title, but the thing itself was altogether a propos, as Mrs. Armour had more natively‘ than correctly put it. The general, whose‘ knowledge of character and circumstances of lite was consrder’able. had worked out the thing with much accuracy. He had declared to Richard, in their quiet talk upon the subject, that Frank must have *‘ ' ‘ . L‘- â€"-L‘_ I... Am .4- “PU“ VLIV 'V"Jv--, vâ€"VV7V , neen anythmg but sober when he (1M 11:.

Boulter, the footman, know his business. When informed of the‘ coming of Mistress Francis Armour, the; Indian chieftainess, his face was absolutely expressionless, his “Yes sir.” was as me- chanical as usual. On the dock he was marbleâ€"indifferent. W hen the psssengers began to land, he showed no excitement. He was decorously alert. When the crucial moment came, he was imperturhable. Boulter was an excellent servanu‘ugss‘o said Edward Lambert tohimself afterfite event; “u Uri-h \- uw---~'- . so, likewise, said M rs. Towuley to herself when the thing was over; so declared Gen- eral Armour many a time after, and once very emphatically, just before he raised Boulter’s wages. ‘ As the boat neared Liverpool, Lambert and Mrs. Townley had grown very nervous. The truth regarding the Indian wife had become known among the passengers, and most. were very curious,-â€"â€"some in a. well- bred, fashion, some intrusively, vulgarly. Mackenzie, Lali’s companion, like Boglter, 1 .uAu-v..v...---, _-~__ _ was expressionless in‘ face. She had her duty to do, paid for libemlly, and she would do it.

General Armour advanced, hat in hand. “You are my son’s wife,” he said court- eously to this being in a blanket. . She looked up and shook her head slight- ly, for she did not quite understand ; but.i she recognized his likeness to her husband,i and presently she smiled up musingly. Mackenzie repeated to her what General Armour had said. She nodded now, a. flash of pleasure lighting up her face, and she slid out her beautiful hand to him. The general took it and pressed it mechanically, his lips twitching slightly. He pressed it far harder than he meant, for his feelings were at tension. She winced slightly, and in- voluntarily thrust out her other hand, as if to relieve his pressure. As she did so the blanket fell away from her head and shoul- ders. Lambert, with excellent intuition, caught it, and threw it across his arm.

There was timldity in her face, and yet a. kind of pride too, though she was only a. savage. The case, even at this critical moment, did not seem quit-e hopeless. When they came to Mrs Armour, Lali shrank away timidly from the look in the mother’s eyes, and, shiverin slightly, looked round for her blanket. ut Lam- ,bert had deftly passed it on to the footman. Presently Mrs. Armour took both the girl’s handr in hers (perhaps she did it because the eyes of the public were on her, but that is neither here nor thereâ€"she did it), and kissed her on the cheek. Then they moved away to a. closed carriage. ‘ ' " --â€"‘J -AL :â€" Immanlr “wan, EU a! VAVva- 'â€" __- And that; was the second act in Frank Armour’s comedy of errom. CHAPTER 1V. IN THE mm or THE FAMILY. The journey from Liverpool to Greyhope was passed in comparative silence. The Armours had a compartment to themselves, and they made the Indian girl as comfort- able as possible, Without self-consciousness, without any artificial politeness. So far what they had done was a matter of duty, not of will; but they had done their duty‘ naturally all their lives, and it was naturar to them now. They had no personal feel- I ings toward the girl one way or another, as yet. It was trying to them that people 'stared into the compartment at different stations. It presently dawned upon Gen- eral Armour that it might also be trying to their charge. Neither he nor his wife had taken into account the possibility of the girl having feelings to be hurt. But he had noticed Lali shrink visibly and flush slightly when some one stared harder than usual ; and this troubled him. It opened up a possibility. He began indefinitely to see that they were not the only factors in the equation. He was probably a little vexed- that he had not seen it before ; for he Wis - . ed to be a just man. He was wont to quote with more or less austerityâ€"chiefly the re- sult of his professional lifeâ€"this : l l For justice, all place a temple, and all season summer. ‘ And, man of war as he was, he had an othe , saying which was much in his mouth ; and ‘he lived up to it with considerable sin- cerity : Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, To silence envious tongues. He whispered to his wife. It would have been hard to tell from her look what she thought of the matter, but presently she changed seats with her husband, that he i might, by holding his newspaper at a. cer- tain angle, shield the girl from intrusive gazers. uv-â€"-- 0.. At every station the same scene was en- acted. And inquisitive people must have been surprised to see ho av mouotonously ordinary was the manner of the three White people in the compartment. Suddenly, at a. station near London, General Armour gave a. start, and used a. strong expression under his breath. Glancing at the “Marriage ” column, he saw a notice to the cfl'ect that on a. certain day of a. certain month,Francis Gilbert, the son of General Joseph Armour, ! L2..- “HA ULIUVL V, ‘n' â€"vâ€" _, 7 C.

She was convinced that he had not married this; savage for anything which could make marriage en- ‘ durable. Under the weight of the thought lshe was likely to forget that the young .1:... .49..

The arrival at Euston and the departure from St. Pancas were rather painful all round, for. though there was no waiting at either place, the appearance of an Indian . girl in native costume Was uncommon enough, even in cosmopolitan London, to : draw much attention. Besides, the pla- i cards of the evening papers were blazoned , with such announcements as this : “ A RED INDIAN GmL MARRIED INTO AN ENGLISH COUNTY FAMILY.” Some one had telegraphed particulars â€" distorted particularsâ€"of it from Liverpool, and all the evening sheets had their portion of extravagance and sensation. General Armour became a little more erect and austere as he caught sight of these placards, and Mrs. Armour groaued inwardly; but their faces were inscrutable, and they uietly conducted their charge, minus her blanket, to the train which was to take them to St. Albans, and were soon wheeling homeward. At Euston they partei with Lambert and Mrs. Townley, who quite simply and con- i ventionally bade good-by to them and their . Indian daughter-in-law. Lalihad grown to I like Mrs. Townley, and when they parted '; she spoke a. few words quickly in her owu - tongue, and then immediately was confused, 1 because she remembered that she could not i; be understood. But presently she said in I halting English that the face of her white 5 s i and friend was good, and she hoped that she would come one time and sit beside per In her Wigwam, for she would be sad txll her husband travelled to her. Mrs. Townley made some polite reply in simple English, pressed the girl’s hand sympathetically, and hurried away. Before she parted from M r. Lambert, however, she said, with a. pretty touch of cynicism “I think I see Marion Armour listening to her sister-in-law issue invitations to her wig- Wam. Iam afraid I should be rather de- preSsed myself if I had to be sisterly to a Wigwam lady.” “But I say, Mrs. Townley,” rejoined Lambert, seriously, as he loitered at the steps of her carriage. “I shouldn’t be surâ€" prised if my 'lady Wigwamâ€"a rather apt and striking title, by the wayâ€"turned out better than we think. She carried herself rippingly without the blanket, and I never saw a. more beautiful hand in my lifeâ€"but one he added, as his fingers at that moment closed on hers, and held them tightly, in spite of the indignant little effort at with- drawal. “She might be able to give them all points in dignity and that kind of thing, and pay Master Frank back in his own coin I do not see, after all, that he is the martyr.” M I--. L- ~L:‘1 In.“ v Lambert’s voice got softer, for he still held Mrs. Townley‘a-fingerâ€"the footman not having the matter in his eye,â€"and then he Spoke still more seriously on sentimental affairs of his own, in which he evidently hoped she would take some interest. In- deed, it is hard to tell how far the case might have been pushed, if she had not suddenly looked a little forbidding and im- perious. For even people of no notable height, with soft features, dark-brown eyes. and a. delightful little laugh, may appear rather regal at times. Lambert did not quite understand why she should take this ‘ attitude. If he had been as keen regarding uvvsuuuu. .- -v -.h_ _s his own afi‘airs of the affections as in the case of Francis Armour and his Indian bride, he had knowu that every woman had in her mind the occasion when she should and when she should not be wooed; and nothing disappoints her more than a de- claration at a time which is not her time. If it does not fall out as she wishes it, retrospect, a. dear thing to a woman, is Spoiled. Many a man has been set to the right-about because he has ventured his iproposal at the wrong time. What would have occurred to Lambert it is hard to tell : but he saw that something was wrong, and stopped in time. When General Armour and his party reached Greyhope it was late in the even- ing. The girl seemed tired and confused by the events of the day, and did as she was directed indifierently, limply. But when they entered the gates of Greyhope and travelled up the long avenue of limes, she ‘ looked round her somewhat eagerly, and drew a long sigh, maybe of relief or plea.- sure. She presently stretched out a hand almost caressingly to the thick trees and the grass, and said aloud, “ Oh, the beautiful trees and the long grass!” There was a. whirr of birds’ wings among the branches, and then, presently, there rose from a dis- tance the sweet gurgling whistle of the nigh- §tingale. Asmile as of reminiscence crossed her face. Then she said as if to herself, “ It is the same. I shall not die. I hear the birds’ wings, and one is singing. It is pleasant to sleep in the long grass when the nights are summer, and to hang your cradle in the trees.” She had asked for her own blanket, re- t, fusing a rug, when they left St. Albans,and it had been given to her. She drew it about 11 her now with a feeling of comfort, and seem- ed to lose the horrible sense of strangeness , i which had almost convulsedherwhen she was 1 put into the carriage at the railway station. < Her reserve had hidden much of What she really felt; but the drive through the limes had showu General Armour and his wife ithat they had to do with a nature having capacities for sensitive feeling : which, it is . sometimes thought, is only the prerogative of certain well-bred civxlizations. But it was impossible that they should yet, or for many a day, feel any sense of kinship with this aboriginal girl. Presently the carriage drew up to the door-way,which was instantly open to them. A broad belt of light streamed out upon the stone steps. Far back in the hall stood \Iarion, one hand upon the balustrade of the staircase, the l other tightly held at her side, as if to l nerve herself for the meeting. The eyes of the Indian girl pierced the light, and, as if by a strange instinct, found those of Marion, even before she left the car! iage. - Lali felt vaguely that here was her possible enemy. As she stepped out of the carriage, . -, General Armour’s hand under her elbow to: r assist her, she drew her blanket something ‘ , more closely about her, and so proceeded up the steps. The composure of the servants L was, in the circumstances, remarkable. It i needed to have been, for the courage dis- played by Lali’s two new guardians during i the day almost faltered at the threshold of their own home. Any sign of surprise or amusement on the part of the domestics 3 would have given them some painful mo- ments subsequently. But all was perfectly r, decorous. Marion still stood motionless, 1 almost dazed. The group advanced into the Z. hall, and there paused, as if waiting for her. e At that moment Richard came out of the _1 study at her right hand, took her arm, and t n l l l 'â€"" a. v‘ (I \ said, quietly, “ Come along, Marion ; let us be as brave as our father and mother.” She gave a hard little gasp and seemed to awake as from a. dream.
