Tho house itself suggested refined comfort.
It was spacious and stilMntitial. Every part
of It was moulded with symmetry Hint lent
grace to its strength, nnd clearly bespoke- a

could unbend, for there was an lnvliblopre

'And yet,' I said, 'from all you tell me,

His success villi women,' replied Cousin
William, "was without parallel. His slight
est attention seemed to hnvfl tnoro weiiht
than tho earnest devotion of oilier men. I
might oven say he was sought of women.
talth, family position, personal fascina
tion, all tended to make him the marked
ideal of the female sex ; but I fear that Ills
choieo fell in what he considered an nnpro-
ilious spot, and in this fact lay the secrei cf
his slrangenes". It was during the summer
prececding Ids death that I became acquaint
ed willi incidents which opened many mys
teries tome. He and I were affectionate
companions, I being the younger of the two;
nn,l, as I have said, during the summer pre
ceding his death ho proposed that, we should
prosecute together a pleasure tour among
the Highlands ; so we set oil' provided with
hunting and fishing implements nnd for
many days pursued our sports with much
avidity at least, I did, but I could after
ward, in thinking of this expedition, recall
the restless desiro which Sir Hugh seemed to
repress, while he exhibited an unconscious
anxiety about sometliiug not present.
"We had piirui'd our sports for the spaco
of ten d iys, when on the aflernn'in ot the
eleventh, we Miililcnlv, and without any
warning, arrived at a cottage situated snug
ly in the cleft of the mountain, looking like
tho nest ot'a bird. I was startled by tho
cultivated beauty of its surroundings, just
in the midst of the mountain wilds, remind
ing me of some rare (lower borne by the
winds from a foreign shore, with no kind
red blossom to bear it companionship. The
welcome accorded us by the head of tho
iauiily proved that Sir Hugh was a valued
if not a frequent guest. A look of inquiry
showed me that all the iiiiial family were
not there; but tho rustling of n dress, tho
sound of a light footstep, and in the dour
stood u young woman whose presence cer
tainly answered to Sir Hugh's ituultcred
question. '.Mis E-tlier Jloutrose, allow me
to make you acquainted with my coiniu ;
and I felt :i solt hand for a moment within
ray own, a frank pressure, as though the in
triulucer were a guarantee for any one, and
in a few moments I was feeling myself un
accountably at my e.le among total strang
ers. The l.illier anil mother, inougii ineir
f ices reminded one of llio old Cjvenanteis,
were plain and kindly in llieir m inner; and
the daughter had that sweet gracioiisne.ss,
that dignity of innocence, that no fashion i
blo training can ever confer, but which al
ways accompanies .1 tender heart and a re
fined imagination. Tho hours passed un
heard ; and llio days grew into weeks al
most unheeded by either of sis. 1 think,
for tho only time in my life, I saw Sir Hugh
seem quietly happy.
"I cannot recall any of our conversation,
but my memory of her is like the ell'ect of
any autumn day, and her beauty seem ti
havo been m ule of the tints of tho se.i-slicll'
tlio odor of jasmine and the fettered rays of
sunshine. 1 watched Sir Hugh closely, and
he did not foiget his usual caution. His
bearing toward her as-umed a high tone of
gallantry, mingled with sternness which 1
knew was effected ; for several time when
ho thought hini.elf unobserved, I lead in
his glance a passionate devotion which made
me know that there was the talisman which
In society shielded him from all tho charms
and wiles spread before him by courtly
dames,
'I havo slid that hours became wce'ks, in
this dream iifhiipplucs, when at last I an
nounecd that I must hi turning my f.ioa
homeward. Sir Hugh immediately sane
tinned the movement, and it was agreed that
two days moro should ronclude our visit.
Esther was not irecnt when wo spoke of
our intention to leave, nor do I know how
she became informed of it. I only remein
her Mint when it was alluded to the seemed
not at all surprised.
Tho last evening of our stay was unusual
ly beautiful. Tho clear orange bunset was
kivm suiliiscil with uie silvery ncains oi mo
full moon. Tea was served in tho arbor,
where juusic, song and subdued tones of con
ver-alinu beguiUd the tlmo until midnight.
I know I reproached myself at tho time for
Intruding on the parting hours of those
whom I felt were lovers. I think they watch
ed tho night out together, and, without any
endeavor on my part, I h.ird so much of
their conver-atioii a served for a l-ey to his
past and his fuluro life.
'Are you in earnest about not returnihg

I said I would not return until t brought
my bride.'
'Ytiur bridal she said. 'Is she already

place. I had never seen tho lady, but ru
mors of her beauty, high birth and fashion
able prestige had reached me, and I felt no
little curiosity to see the future bride.
The day of her arrival was exceedingly
sunny, and with the bustlo of arrival, the re
ception of strangers, the supper, tho loud
music and merry laughter, tho old house
seemed for a time completely transformed,
and I almost wondered if all my former life
had not been a concatenation of dre.ims,and
if this were not my first awakening to ac
tual life. Nothing had before ever worn
such a look of reality. The bride was a
stately beauty, her personal charm being
such a wero grasped ut a glance, consisting
of regular feature, fino eyes and noble car
ri ige.
Some of the guests remained several weeks;
fir Sir Hugh was a graceful and graciou
host; but I could see how little his heart
was in all these gay manilestation. At
ngth all the visitors departed, and tiling
resumed llieir usual routine.
'Lady J,iiiia was a woman very fortunate
iu her composition which rendered her near
ly, if not entirely independent of the senti
ment of daily lite. If conventionalities wero
to bo observed she never troubled herself
about tho motives by which they were actu
ated, and if tonus wero obtained she was
nevei affected by tho expression. She val
ued what the world valued, and il not dis
appointed in tho fact that life yielded her,
ho sought neither pleasure nor pain iu fan
cied interpretation of material thing ;
therefore if her lord dispensed the hospi
talities ot his mansion with fashionable
grace, it mattered not if the smile he wore
reached uo farther tbauthoWp. If he sus
tained hi sharo in tho conversation, she
cared not, though his eye and hi thoughts
might be wandering far away from the
scene.
It was not long before everything as
sumed the moody look that again rented on
Sir Hugh, for I verily bclievo thu master spir
it In a household does endow mute siirroun-
ling witli it own color. I.idy Louisa
was we.ilt'-'y and possessed a physlcil vivac
ity that was able to triumph unconsciously
over it all. I know that I felt grateful to
her for giving a wholesome) air lo tho daily
occurrence of our establishment. I wa
gl.nl that sho had the faculty of always be
ing able to talk and laugh about common
place thing i in a commonplace manner, and
I found that tho tact of my finding reliel in
this daily chat ma le me very companionable
to her, and rulliced for much negligence on
the part of Sir Hugh, who nivir made, or
seemed to make, any effort to adapt him-elf
to ,her society. Thing wore on this way
until ibe approach. ol autumn; n season
welcome to me and to liiin, beeuiso it fur

come to I.ady Lnuiaa.bccuuso it wa the pre
cursor of a London season, a period which
summed up for her all tho vivid enjoyments
of existence.
' 'This i actually tho fifth of September,'
I said wiie morning; at breakfast, 'The air
is keen enough to make hunting very en
joyable.' ' 'You could not havo hit my mood more
exactly,' siid Sir Hugh ; 'and let us start
before the edge is taken oil' the air. I lovo
to feel my cheeks tingle with the cold
while I am pursuing my game.'
'The day could not have beei better suit

that much suffering might have been avert

'Hut it is useless to speak of what I might
have done, or its probable results. Suffice it
to say that within a few weeks alter hi re
turn Sir Hugh sickeued though all was done
that science or the closest at t en tion could
do, it had no visible effect. He said but
little during hi illness About hi situation.
He was apparently calm, and alluding lo
hi state always spoke' of hi recovery as a
thing not to bo expected.
'Several time wo thought him delirious
because he wa evidently talking to some one
who wo thought was not present, llut a few
days lit lore hi death his attendants insisted
that on several occasions they saw a female
figure near him which wa closely veiled. I,
lor one, can testify to tho fact that there cer
tainly was a palpable, visible, iutangiblo
presence, more di-iiuct in a faint light than
in a lull light ; and lliij, I suppose, was tho
reason why Sir Hugh cried so earnestly,
'Light mule light I'
'The nearer he approached dissolution tho

ter many pangs, Sir Hugh breathed his last.
Thu night was ilo-e and sullen, and the still
ness ol dcnili pervaded everything, when a
deep n.o'iii penetrated every portion ol the
house, fcui room to room and through
stairway and hall, then paed into tho wide
air, and with it went the evelasting soul of
him who, but u few days before had bten

'There hu always hern a superstition,'
continued Con-in William, 'that on tho au

'I'o yen believj it ?' I asked.
'I can't say I believe it,' he replied ; 'yet
there arc straugo coincidences iu the case.
I was not ihiukiiu id this being the anni

singular moan.'
'I heard it,' said I, 'but I thought it wa

'What became of hi wife?' I asked.

Her last word were, 'Meet me soon.' These
