BAWD ON' & MAID. A btokyok'the bnow. Mrvn London Bjelety. I. In the Loom-. Ho s The anoient hostler of "The Jooelyn Arms' led the way acroBS the Lard-froea stable-yard to the loosa-box in the corner; the two men from the Court followed. "Fyle have gone oat, Major," old Spavin granted to the elder ol the pair; "bat he aid 't were likely you'd be down to Bee the Stare; and bo he left the key with roe." "All right I" the Major nodded between two little blue clouds of Cavendish. "Yes, I've brought down Mr. Jocelyn to look at her. Let Fyle know I'm here when he comes back will yon?" he added, when the old man had unlocked the creaking door. Mr. Spavin took the hint and his departure The Major and his friend, Dick Jocelyn, passed into the well-warmed and littered looBe-box. "There Bhe is, Dick!" the mare's owner re marked, when the biting breath of that bitter winter's day had been shut out onoe more; 'there she is I Worth coming here to look at, ain't Bhe?" Dick Jocelyn, usually a man of few words, wagged his handsome head affirmatively. The maie was rubbing hers, with a low wiiinning of delight, against the Major's shoulder. "Ahl Lucia, mia bella," Rawdon Darlug ham apostrophized his pat, patting her gloisy neck; "you'll show them the wuy to night won't you?" Lucia dropped her ears, and whinnied again for anBwer. The Ilassar looked meaningly in his companion's face as he whistled a bar of "Young Lochinvar." Dick Jocelyn seemed to understand, and responded with an elo quent grin. Then, from sheer habit, the two fell to dla cueslDg the mare's points for the next five minutes, ottering sacrifice, as it were, to the genius loci. For both were thinking about a Tery different matter all the time. At last they made an end of all that, and were stand ing, the one leaning against the manger, the other against the wall, meeting eaoh other's eyes, very much like a pair of Augurs. "Well I" Diok Jocelyn said, breaking the allenoe with rather an injured air at its being left to his taciturn self to break it; "you'll have to do it, you know I" "I think so," Daringham responded; 'shortest way, and best way too. Sue couldn't atand another week of this butor's persecution. And I don't see how else I'm to put a stop to , unless I have a row with him, which would be a bore, and might do no good after all." "Make it all the worse 1" Dick affirmed. "Jeff wouldn't fight yvu, you know; and he'd simply take it out of Aer, the cad 1" Daringham's dark face grew darker, and his teeth closed ominously hard on the thick grey amber between them. "I know that," he said; "I know that, Diok. That's what has made me quiet with the fellow Bo long. But that was before I knew she bated him, and you understand ?" Jocelyn nodded. The other went on. "Now it's different. I've a right now to Interfere if he annoys her; and I mean to, once for all. Only, as you say, the man won't fight; and I shall put it out of his power to revenge himself on her. There's only one way to do it, and that's this." Dick signified assent in his favorite fashion. "Of course," Daringham continued, "I'm aorry to cause any annoyance to Lady Hope: to have to upset her plans, and deprive her of her chosen beau-fils; but, under the ciroum Btanoes, I don't see what eUe we're to do, your oonsin and I. Lady Hope, you know, does me the honor to hate me very cordially. Natural enough she should when Mr. Marsden Is her standard of perfection. I should have, as far as she is concerned, no chanoe whatever of winning in the usual way. Now I happen to have set my heart on winning this time, Marsden or no Marsden; and I simply mean to adopt my lady's motto, 'Every one for him self,' and act aocordiDgly.' ' Rawdon pointed his words by a few more bars of "Young Lochinvar," while he knocked the tobacco-ash from the brown meerschaum bowl. "Fancy I see the 'puir fuliah bridegroom's' expressive oountenanoe when be discovers you've bolted 1" the grinning Diok felt con strained to say. "It was a simply heavenly Idea of mine, this 1" lie chuckled fondly over the "heavenly idea," and the vision he had conjured up, for a minute or two. Then, relapsing into his wonted impassibility of demeanor, he in quired : "To-night, eh?" "That depends," the other answered, "on Pyle's report. I've Bent him over to the Ash bridge Station to know if they will try and get the Paris mall throngh to-night. The line's blockaded heavily between Aahbridge and Dover; but as they 've been at work for the last two days, and there has been no wind to day to make a freah drift, there is just the chance they will manage it. If they do, we're all right; if they don't, ;irt!ie remise, that's 11 1" "You're a jolly cool hand, Don 1" Diok mattered, admiringly, ' daid anything to ber yet?" "Not advisable till I've soon Fjle. No use In troubling her before her time, poor child I But I've had a little conversation with Made moiselle Fanohon, who quite understands What she's got to do, and will be ' only too delighted to do it. The notion of a trip to . Paris won ber at onoe." "Ctood girl that," observed Diok; "hates old Jell like poison too." "Most women generally do manage to hate Mr. Marsden, somehow," iUwdjn responded, "like mobt men. Wtll, Fauuhon is all right, and will see about baggage. She'll join as at Aehbridge under Kyle's escort, if the business Is to be done to-night." "And the way we arrand holds good ?" "Barring accidents or anything unforeseen In Fyle's report presently yes. There's ome one riding into the yard now. He's soma back. I dare Bay." The Major pushed open the door and looked out. "I thoneht so. Dick." he said. "Here La is." A man in a croom's nndreas, with "soldier" stamped upon him unmistakably, was swing ing himself on ms noree anil bawling ror cue, Spavin. 'Ur. Fvle 1" Hawdon called, as the an lent bostler came skivering and shambling out of the warm tap-room and took the hui- aar'B bridle. Mr. Fyle turned, maae nm ap pearance in Lucia'a loose-box tbe next minute, anil, unbsfciuentlr. his soldier-like report. The line would be clear euough of snow, the Aahbridge Btation-master had told him, by an eatl honr thfl nest lnorniag to admit of an , attempt, at all events, beiog made to pet the Krg aeiayed Far Is mail inrougn to j;over, ' flnppotkug, of course, no fresh fall took place and no wind cam on to occasion a fresh drift. The mall was expected In euch case to reach THIS DAILY E Ashbridge about 4 A.M.; and Mr. Fyle hid taken upon himself to secure a compartment for his master. Below Ashbridge the rails were reported free; so that if the train got aa far as that station there was no likelihood of its being blocked np agaia further on. On this Mr. Fyle had certain orders given him; and then Rawdon Daringham, Major of "Onrs," and his friend, Diok Jooelya the Guardsman, walked, talking rather earnestly together, through the straggling streets of the Kentish village where tbe last red rays of the wintry afternoon inn were gleaming oa frosted window panes, and bo throngh the lower lodge-gates and the long avenue of snow draped elms back of Dane Court. Ex-private John Fyle watched them a brief while, stroking his moustache as he had seen his master stroke hi. "Ah 1" be thought " aloud, as he turned away; "that's the Major's little game, is it? And a very pretty little game, too 1" ir.-Nrnle m Nrnle. "Hilda 1 You love him?" "O Helen 1" Mi?s Jocelyn's confession in two words, made with inch a piteous little sigh, suoU a tell-tale biding of a blush-rode face in her confessor's lap I The Bald confessor looked grave, but stroked the penitent's fair hair londly and forgivingly enough, notwithstand ing. Then there was silenoe for a space in that little chamber where the cousins tat that wintry gloamlDg over the log-fire. Cousin Helen's room, they called it at Dine Ctart. It looked over the lawn upen the park and the great elms of the Long avenue, up which Dick Jocelyn and his friend were walking just then, after their visit to Lucia's loose box. It was of one of those two out there in the snow that Helen Carew and Hilda Jooelyn had been talking for the last half-hour, till their talk had ended in that last question and answer we have overheard. It began gain, of course, in a minute or two. Natu rally it couldn't be let to die there. "My poor darling 1" Helen said, bending over the golden head nestling in the folds of her dress. "Since when?" "Always, I think. Always, since that first night i saw him. Oh, Nell, I couldn't help it I" as though the child anticipated rebuke, and were trying to deprecate it. But the other hadn't, apparently, the heart to be hard with the criminal. Nay, she bent over her pet closer, and put her hands nnder the criminal's cheek and chin, and lifted. np the Unshed, tear-stained little face, and kissed it. That kiss was absolution in fall. Hilda felt that; so.the tears fell faster. Helen let them have their way awhile before Bhe said: "That was six months ago, Mignonne. I remember; at that ball at Princes Uate. Dick brought him there. Juet after you had let them tie you to the other it must have been. 0 Hilda, why did yon ever let them ?" As if Mignonne had ever had a chance against mamma. That match between her daughter and Jeffrey Marsden, the city banker, had been a pet project of Lady Hope's always; it was bo likely any objection on the child's part to the arrangement would have carried weight 1 My lady's word, as Bhe proclaimed to all the world, was law; Hilda had never in all her life dared dream of disobedience, as she told her confessor now. "What conld I do ?" she pleaded. "Mamma said I was to take him; and he asked me 0 Nell, his cold, bard voice made me shiver 1 and I did as I was told. And then he came Rawdon. And then 1 knew what I had done). We went away to Hombnrg, mamma and I; and I tried not to think about him. It was no use, Nell. He came to Hombnrg, too, with D.'ck. Mamma was terribly angry with me because he did. And I deserved it, for I was bo happy ! He never said a word to me any body mightn't have heard; but I thought but I knew he cared for me before we went away. I don't know whether Mr. Marsden fancied anything; but in his icy way I know he hated him. Mamma said cruel things to me about him. I didn't mind; I was so happy happy in such a strange painful way, dear 1 to think he cared for me, my brave, strong Rawdon ! Then we came home. 0 Nell, I thought 1 should have died that night 1 said good-bye to him; the last night I should ever see him, perhaps ! - We came home. I think if I hadn't got ill, and yon hadn't come down here to nurse me and fight for me, mamma would have had me married to Mr. Marsden in tbe autumn. As it was, I got a respite till now. And now I can't do it I I won't do it 1" poor Hilda sobbed out. The elder girl's soft voice and loving bands soothed her tenderly. "I begin to think you mnsn't, Mignonne," Helen said. "And if you mustn't, you shan't! Bat let me hear the end of it. How came Major Daringham down here this Christmas I" MIgno nne smiled through her tears. "Dick brought him attain." she answered. "Dear old Dick I He's been so good to me. in his quiet, cool fashion, all through. I think ne ana uawaou are bosom mends, you know, like you and ine; they've no secrets from earn otner; and" "I see 1" Helen nodded. "And. moreover. Dick detests the Crocus. Yes, I quite under stand." "And you know," Hilda went on. "mamma never quarrels with him, somehow; and Dane Court really belongs to him; so when Bhe found Kawdon in the drawing-room one day, just before you came back, dressed for dinner, and dick toia ner ne'a urougut mm down for tne shooting, why, Bhe had to accept the situation. Only she wrote oil' to Mr. Marsden, I think, to come down too, a fortnight sooner than had been arranged. And before he came " Mignonne made panne here. The fair little face paled and flushed; the golden head began to droop again. It was clear enough to Miss Carew what had happened before Jell' Marsden came. "He spoke to jou ? You lot him, Mig nonne ?" "l et him ! Do you think I could stop him, Helen? 1 hadn't tbe power nor the will, perhaps. Yob, he did peuk to me; he did tell me he loved me I And I listened to him." She lifted her head up with a sudden, prond little gesture, and looked her questioner fairly in the eyes. "I listened to him," she went on "listomid to every word that made me thrill, and shiver, and grow fuint, to every low passionate word he epoke, as you would never think his voice could speak, lie loved me, my own 1 His own lips were telling me so; how could I not listen? I was his, he said; no other mau's. His own was it not so? Ahl he had no need to ask. I icus his t I am his, not this other manV." Faction transformed the child's face bo that there was upon it something of my lady's "determined" look while bhe spoke those last words. "You never can be the other man's now, Mignonne," Helen said presently, when the Major's wooing bad been circumstantially de tented, and there were no more questions to be afktd. "But you must tell Aunt Hope what has happened." "Tell mamma? I daren't, Helen. She's eet ber heart ou my marrying her Crajus. JUd, besides, she can't bear Rawdon." "For all that, if you don't tell her, Rawdon must. Or 1; I'm not afraid of her." flNG TELKGKAHl PHILADELPHIA, itKSI) AY, JANUARY 19, ''I860. "But Rawdon says she mustn't be told yet, nor Mr. Marsden." "let I Have you forgotten what this day fortnight was to have been ?" Mignonue gave a little shudder. "You would have been Mrs. Marsden by this time, poor child 1 Ho thinks yon are to be, still. He's a right to think so, Hilda, till you tell him you've changed your mind. And you must tell him." Hilda shook her head. "Don says no I" she replied, dutifully. "He says mamma is too strong against us as it is." "What are yoa going to do, then ?" Miss Carew asked, rather impatiently. "Whatever Don Mis me, dear," Mignonne Bald. "I leave it all to him." "I must have a little talk with this auto cratic Don," Helen said to herself. There oame a knock at the door. "May I come in, Helen?" Dick JJoaelyn's voice at ked. ' Of course," Helen answered; and Diok entered. He went straight up to the log-C re and stirred it into ablaze. Then he leaned tran quilly against the low mantelpiece and warmed himself. "Cold, ain't it?" be said. "Come in to tell you we've arranged about the sledges for to-night. Don will drive one of you, and I the other. I've told my lady about it." ' What did she say?" questioned Helen, glancing at Hilda. "Objeoted, of course. She always objects, yon know. However, I managed to oonvince her that the couldn't get more than four people into the carriage herself, old Jeff, and the two Fierrepoint women. She oouldn't very well offer to Bend them in a sledge; be tides, Don and I wouldn't have 'em at any price. We don't mind driving you two. I told my lady bo." "On n'est plus fUtteur, Monsieur!" "No, is one? Well, my lady suggested the carriage should come back for you. I said she might think herself luoky If it got her to the Boodles' on a night like this, with the snow drifted a dozen feet deep, at all. Then she wouldn't go. Needn't, I told her; but we meant to go you should have seen Jeff's face when I said that, Hilda ? for the fun of the thing. And, besides, what would the Boodles' think If Bhe stopped away, when they came to her with four horses and a snow-plough? At last she dropped into my plan. Y'ou and Hilda are to be sleighed over. Old Jeff, it seems, has more confidence in my ekill than in Don's, bo I'm to take Mignonne, and you'll have to trust yourself to him." "Obi" remarked Helen, seeing an opportu nity for her little tale. "Yes," Dick returned. "Crumple your ball-dresses a bit the bull-t!o-roba3 will; but it's the only way of getting there to-night, I do believe. Suppose you want to go ?" "Yes, of course !" both girls cried quickly. "All right; then. Start at ten. Don's had a mare he had in Canada sent over from the Barracks expressly for the occasion; and it's a splendid night." Dick moved away from the mantel-piece as if he were going. Instead of that, however, he dropped into a chair, as though the un wonted eloquence he had indulged in had knocked hirn up. He smoothed Hilda's golden hair rather more fondly than usual, too, as he sail: "Go and get me a rosebud for my ooat oat of the conservatory, Mignonne, will you ?" She looked up at him inquiringly. He drew her head closer, and whispered in her ear. A stage whisper, though; Helen heard what he said. "Don's there, darling I My lady's dress ing; so are the other women; and old Jeff's writing in the library for his life to save the post. Don wants to speak to you." She gave a little cry, and ran out of the room. "Diok 1" Helen said, reproachfully. "Pooh !" returned that individual. "Hasn't she been telling yoa all about it ? Thought so. And you don't suppose I'm going to let her marry that grey old icicle, Jeff Marsden do you? I'd have stopped that little game of my lady's at first it I'd been on the spot. "I'm going to stop it now. Awful fun it'll be!" "What do you mean f" "Going to tell yoa. You're a sensible girl, Helen, and worth the trouble. Sit down and listen." Miss Carew Bat down, and did listen. Dick began to unfold a conspiracy. When the dressing-bell rang, Mignonne hadn't come back, and Diok was talking away still. III. The ISoodlcN' Hull. "I think it a most objectionable proceeding, and I repeat that it is my wish that yoa do not gel" He who spoke was a grim, gaunt, grizzled personage, with a voice that grated on your nerves like a hand-saw; with thin, bloodless lips and freezing, steel-blue eyes; clothed in severe evening-dress; in a choking collar and a creaking cravat, and a decidedly bad temper. He was Jeffrey Marsden, banker, of Lombard street and Roehampton; and, having managed to catch her alone for five minutes in the Dane Court drawing-room before the expedi tion started for the Boodles' ball, he was ha ranguing the fair-haired child, whom he counted on having in another fortnight undis puted right to harangue for the rest of her natural lite, in his most autocratlo manner, though with hardly the same effeot as usual. Hilda stood where he hod stopped her. rather pale, and with her little gloved hands clasped tight upon each other, but neither trtmtliug nor submissive. "My wish, my request, that you give up thiB ball, under the circumstances I" enun ciated Ciu sas, alter an emphatic pause, ana setting down an empty coffee-cup. "Give np this ball I" Hilda repeated and be was vaguely oonsclous that she spoke in a different wuy, somehow, to her usual one towards himself "why ?" Marsden looked at her over the creaking cravat as one who finds a difficulty in under standing what he hears, or fancied he can scarcely near aiielit. "I beg your paraon," lie saul, in his moat icily rasping tone; "you asked me ?" "I ui-ktd jou why I should give up this ball ?" She mtt his hard eyes quite steadily. He looked at her in leal surprise. "Did you not hear me say it was my wish, my request f Yon can require no better reason." "A plainer one, at all events." "Hilda!" He had never called her by her name half-a-dozen times in Lis life; he was only startled into doing so now. What had come to her, that she dared speak in this way, dared meet his rebuking glanoe so yes, bo defiantly ? We must put an end to this once for all. His thin lips shut close together onoe or twke. Then he said with his moat offensively authoiitative air, "Yon oblige me to lay my commands upon yon not to go." He was preparing to Btalk gravely to a chair, or out ol the room, when she spoke again, Btill in that same changed voice. "Yoa have no right to do that 1" Hilda said. "No right ?" he repeated, mechanically. "No. No right to 'command me not to go. No right to 'command' me at all. No right to (peak to me as yoa do Fpeak. No right to tell me at the last moment that I am not to go to-night for no better reason than to paral yonr authority over me an authority to which you have too right either." lie turned very white, but stood speechless. She went on "An authority yon claim, I know, but which you have done nothing to gain. What have yon ever been at the pains to win from me? And now yoa 'oommana' me I n is too late I" Flat rebellion this, beyond question. Fool that he was to try and oruau it with the heavy hand as he thought he could do I "Knongh, if yoa please!" he said, with what he flattered himself was irresistible severity; "I can listen to no more of this. Once more, and for the last time, I distinctly and formally forbid your going to this ball to-night. Be good enough to let that suffice." How little he knew what he was really doing at that moment ! Couldn't he almost Bee, though, in the face she turned towards him ? "It shall suffice!" she said. "Distinctly and formally I refuse to be forbidden. For tbe last time, as you say." Before he could Mud hia voice again, there came a sound of other volses from beyond the jiorlUres. The other women had come down. This pleasant little tiUe-AUte was goiDg to be interrupted. And Bhe had defied him I This penniless child he thought he had broken bo thoroughly to his hand had deiied him, Jeffrey Marsden, the millionaire, who had actually condescended to ask her to be his wife I What did it mean ? What could have come to lur ? And what was he to do ? She had Bet his express commands at naught ; she evidently was determined to have her own way and go. His cold blood ran almost warm nnder the sense of his defeat. Bat he was so utterly taken by surprise that he could only mutter awkwardly enough something about "Lady Hope" and "to-morrow" before the others were in the room. To-morrow ! He remem bered afterwards the smile that crossed the girl's pale face when he talked of that. Concluded to-morrow.) INSURANCE COMPANIES. FIRE ASSOCIATION. IKCOlirORATED MA lit 11 27, 1829.
