IAN 3 Sjld tiv V . s -CHAPTER III. ; A month passed away, and during that I time Ethel Dan vers had seen but little of j Rowland Saxby. i She had heard all al1ut the enpae , went, not from Rowland, but from Grace , Thorne herself. Ve.,; Ethel hal culti- ; ner acquaintance, and acted wisher. ; Little did Grace puess that this was ; only a mask a mask which concealed : feehng-9 of a far different character to friendship. j Ethel hated Grace with a moat fearful bate. While she cnsratnlated her upon bp orninsr marriage with Rowlan.l. r,he i wisheI that it would please Heaven to smite her dead at her feet. While alone, her manner was indeed terrible. Alone in her dresfiing--room, ehe would pace the floor after the manner of ; a cag-ed tigress. Her mntterinsrs of hate and her lonjr ; inps for the time to come when ehe could tr.ke a terrible revenue upon the girl who. j she thought, had weaned from her the I affections of the only man she had ever loved, would have shocked the stoutest heart. She did not pause and consider the matter very carefully. Her hasty, un : governable temper would not allow her j to do that. I She did not think whether Rowland Sax by had ever hinted one sentence to her of love. Had she thought over that she would have been compelled to admit that he never had. ; But this was her principal thought aa , ehe paced the room day after day, night after night: "I am not to be his wife, but by the Heaven aWe me, J,e never shall never ! I would kill her and then myself. Aye, that I would, and die happy happy!" One morning Leon was announced. He did not often make his appearance, and although Ethel was by no means in a good temper, he was usli.-rod into her presence.

"I iindi-i stood you to say that you had some good news for lno." said Ethel. "Is not that good news?" "I see nothing very good alwut it. It is an invitation to join Rowland at his father's resilience at Hlcxley." just so; but cant y..u seethe drift it !" 'I cannot.' replied Ethel, but showed that she iied. "Well, then, said Leon, "in two weeks time Rowland leads Grace Thorne to the altar."' "At Klexl. V?" Yes." "ii. I see. That's it. is it! Vejy we.l. Of course I shall have much pleasure in joining the party ; so also will my mother. I nni sure. IJut how strange'!

"I really do not." "Well, Ethel. I did not come here onlv to deliver that letter of invitation. I Came on another matter as well." "Hem! You are getting quite a busi ness man, I declare." I "Don't mock me, Ethel. You must know for what reason I have called." j "I shall know immediately you tell me." "Well then, Ethel," taking her hand within his own, "I have called to tell you once more how sincerely I love you. Oh. ; Ethel, do not keep me longer in suspense. It is cruel to do so. And all this about other jKople going to lie married makes ; me more miserable than ever. Ethel, time after time have I told you how well and truly I love you. Take pity upon me now, and say you will le my wife. I : don't think I am such a bad fellow, and I i am sure. Ethel, if you will le my wife, ' you will find me most devoted." ; "I never said you were a bad fellow, ' Leon." "No, no, my dear, I know that, but " i "I have told you, Leon, that at present I cannot entertain your offer." You will think over it!" I Yes; that I promise." , "But Just tell me this, Ethel, and then 1 I will be satisfied. Have you any love : for me !" Ethel hesitated what if she said ehe : had ! Well, she determined to tell him a j deliberate lie. ! "I cannot deny I have some love for you, Leon," she said softly, as her little feet tapped the rich carpet. "But you know that my lielief is that real love does not come all at once. I think it takes time." "You may lie right, but bo that you have some love for me, I care not. In a little time, Ethel, you will leam to love roe better." "Yes, that is likely enough, Leon." "Then I am to say that your mother and yourself will join Rowland at Blex ley!" "Yes, please." Snon after this Leon departed, and no sooner had the door closed upon him than Ethel rose from her seat. I Her face was very pale, and her eyes, ' which had worn a mild expression while Leon was present, now blazed with a dan gerous light. For some moments she stood erect, her hands clenched so tightly that the nails seemed to be imleddod in the delicate "1 he time is coming. Grace Thorne; the time is coming. Oh. how I have longed to le under the same roof with you! My revenge will be swift ami sure. Y ou don't go to Blexley to lie married. No!" and her voice rose into a shriek; "you go to Blexley to meet your death, for as sure as I am a living woman, so sure will I kill you!" At this moment the door was pushed suddenly ojn and Mrs. Dan vers made her appearance. She looked at her daughter, and for the space of a minute stool tram fixed with astonishment and terror. "Ethel," she said, "what do you mean by uttering those fearful words? Are you rehearsing some part for private the atrieaN?" "No!" " J hen what on-arth do you mean crying. ! will kill you? Kill who!" No answer; Ethel stood liefore ber mother trembling from head to foot. Of course she had not intended her voice to be heard, but, as we have lefore said, her ungovernable fury would not allow her to think of what she was doing. "Ethel," said Mrs. Dan vers sternly, "I hope you will not be the means of causing me to say that I curse the day you were born. Your conduct of late has lieen more than extraordinary, and by no means Incoming a lady who has been brought up and educated in the. atsnner you have. I am surprised liajvihjiist ed at such utimaidculy conduct. Tell me, i Who has been here "Leon Cat heart." , "Well ?" i "What ?" "Y ou know what I mean. He was here for the usual purpose. I presume?" "I don't understand." ".Nonsense! He came hei-e, I , to again offer you his hand?" "Not this time, mamma. lie spoke no word of love," replied Ethel calmly, but she did not look her mot her in the face. "Then what did he come for!" "This." And she handed her mother the letter of invitation. 'Oh. that is it. Well, we will go, of course, and as far as I am concerned. I shall lc very glad when this all over." "Why?" 'Because all your romancing will cease ; all that romantic nonsense you talk specting Rowland, and which I hear utter even in your sleep, will end. then you will take the hand of Leon you will lioth e very 1 ought to be." At these words, spoken slowly and firmly. Ethel's breast rose and fell as if she were struggling for breath, and when her mother had concluded, she walked firmly from the room without uttering another word. "Ah. me!" sighed Mrs. Danvers, sink ing gracefully into a chair, and settling herself to again eruse the note of invi tation. "It is a shocking thing to have a (laughter with a violent tcmier. and that, I am sorry to say, Ethel has. But when this marriage is over she will see how foolish she has len. But what did she mean by -kill her?' Kill who, I wonder! I never heard that anyone had injured her. Oh, dear! it's very sad I think she wand-'rs occasionally." nents, lioil she saw that the principal place tKey visited was the summer-house near five lake. Her they could almost always rely uj on liehig alone, but they were not so often alone as they thought. I Several times had Ethel stolen by the ' furze on one side of the house, and had I listened to Rowland's loving words to ! Grace Thorne. t She had listened until her heart seemed bursting to the kisses given again and , again, and this only served to fan fiercer j the flame which burned within her. But suddenly it came to her knowledge ' that the lovers were in the habit of sitting by the lake in the moonlight. And when this came to her knowledge, a terrible thought struck her. She determined to put a plan into exe cution by which it was almost a certainty ; that (irace would lose her life. , 1 ..II jl : . at. . .... xinu u mis nine jirs. iianvers Thought h!r ,1 suppose, very happy a marriage is re- you And . and you If it, pity flo-dl. Presently her fury found vent in words, and. raising her hand above her, she said in low his&iug tones : . ( HAPTKR IV. Blexley House, the residence of Sir Rowland Saxby, was a noble building built-in the Gothic style from Sir Row land's own designs. Attached to it was a lovely park of some twenty acres in extent, well wooded, and with a charming lake through it. The interior of the house corresponded in every resjiect with the exterior, for it contained some of the finest furniture to lie found in all England. Statues and pictures of exquisite work manship adorned almost every room, and the entrance to the building was guarded by several mail-clad knights, who, it must I admitted, never raised a finger to hurt anyone, nor turned their heads either to the right or to the left, by day or by night. On one side of the building was Sir Rowland's study, and here he was pleased I to show any one of his numerous inven ; tions, tome useful and others so, so. j Sir Rowland had made a large amount . of money by his own ingenuity ; he was proud of it, and delighted to sit and talk ' of these matters to anyone who would it and listen to him. of which, considering Sir Rowland's hospitality, there were not a few. Still, as the years crept Uon him, and caused his hair to turn "whiter and whiter still," he Tiegan to get tired of his inventions and his looks relating thereto, ami to think of an altogether different matter to-wit, of his son's marriage to a suitable lady. Ami when he saw Grace Thorne for the first time, the old man considered that ! his son had made a prot.er selection, and njon closer acquaintance, he was certain of it, and congratulated him. i The greater .art of the old gentleman's life had lieen passed in Loudon, and there , fore he persuaded his son to marry at Blexley, and thus avoid the necessity of ; his tiring himself by a journey, j To this Rowland, as a matter of course, consented, and on the day appointed, ; Grace, Mrs Thome, and Rowland arrived. I It was proposed by Sir Rowland that j , they should lie two weeks with him te- J 1 fore the ceremony, as when the wedding j had taken place the happy couple would ' take their departure for a place a little j further off than Blexley, and where they j would tie as every young married couple j wished alone. The day following the arrival of Row- ' land and Grace, Mrs. Danvers and Ethel j arrived. j From the appearance of the latter, any- i one Mould have imagined that she was : supremely happy. j Her face was beaming w ith smiles, and wonderful! she had a kind word for everyone. Mrs. Danvers and her daughter were accommodated with an elegant suite of rooms, and everything which was calcu lated to make them happy was done. One day passed, and the party, which can ueen increased by Leon, had Yery happy. Ethel had accompanied l.oth Rowland and Grace on many excursions, and chat ted merrily with them. Little did they dream that under that merry talk was concealed a most deadly resolve. Little did they imagine that while she chatted, she was thinking of the best wav . . (as sup cauea it) revenge. But so it was, the thoughts always u liOM.i.i ! 1 : - . ' , . ...o-i , rr mum were or the destruc tion of Grace Thome. For three days the watched their move- hmghter was so very happy. "Ah. Ethel, I have found you then! I i have been looking for you for some time. Whore do you hide yourself ?" ; An.1 the. arm of Leon Oat heart stole , round Ethel's waist. He had caught her in the park, where I she was strolling, her usual thoughts up permost in her mind. She started violently at the sound of his vocie, but she soon recovered her self I possession. j "I do not hide myself." she said; UI am frequently in the grounds." "And yet I do not see you very often. . owever. I will, with your erinission, Ke advantage of the present occasion. I know that you will have no objection to take a stroll with me?" And he offered his arm. "No, indeed." she said, in what she in tended to be winning tones, "tl.i.t I have not. Which way shall we go?" "Oh, let us keep straight ahead. Y"ou have no objection to my smoking, Ethel? ' Yon know 1 am n gi-eat smoker." "Oh. no; I rather like it, esjH-cially in the , pen air." L on lit his cigar, and then again at tempted to put his arm round Ethel's waist, but she said gently: "I don't think that is quite right, Leon, . in case air. oi.e haj.peiis to come this way. Why. they will think we are actually engaged." i hey may think so with pleasure. , such was rumored would you deny Kthel r i "Deny it ? Why well, considering that e are not actually engaged, what could . I do?" 'Leave them to think as they like." "True. Bt then well, we will not talk aliout that at present." "I wish you would. The fact is, Ethel, I am getting decidedly impatient." I 1 xt fellow! i rom my heart I you." ' "Pity me?" "I do, certainly. It is very shocking to lie kept in susjiense, I suppose, but for a litlte while it must be so." By this time they had approached the summer-house by the side of the lake. 1 Ethel had not taken any notice of the di rection they were going, but when, sud denly, the lake and the summer-house came into view, she turned a shade paler. "How strange," she thought, "that we should come here!'' ; "Isn't this a lovely sixd, Ethel!" said Leon as he stood and surveyed the lake liefore him. He was quite right, it was a lovely spot. The surface of the lake was dotted with myriads of magnificent lilies, and in and out of these glided several majestic swans. On the opposite liauk were several boats for the use of those who had a liking for such amusement. "Yes," replied Ethel, "it is as you say. a k ve!y spot, but I would rather not sit here." "What, not in the summer-house?" "No, I don't like it." "Y ou amaze me! I should hwe thought it was just such a place as you would like. Still, there is no accounting for tastes. And yet I should like to know why you dislike it." "I hardly know myself, to tell yon the num. init it is enough for me to that I don't like the ulace. isn't it I" Leon made but little progress during the walk. Ethel several times appeared to tie lost in thought. Leon noticed it and wondered. "It's very strange," he muttered when Ethel had taken her departure to the house, "deuced strange." Saying which. Leon flung himself upon the high grass, placed his hat over his ejes. ana in less than five minutea fast asleep. rn after v. "I eay, Ethel," cried Grace, as Ethel came up the front entrance to the house "there is one thing which I had quite' forgotten to show you. Come upstairs to my room and I will show it to you." Ethel followed her. What is it, Grace!" she asked; "some new present from from Rowland!" it is a present from him." .... . ' tri-ace, -out not new; "it present he ever gave me." "Oh, indeed; "I'm quite curious." "Y'ou will say it is a strange present," laughed Grace, "but it is very preciou's to me." srMie time she surveyed the wreath in silence, and then, in a hoarse whisper, she said: ".V wear this f Never! Tonightto-night! Ah, let me think. It must I- now ; yes, at once or it will be too late." Sinking into a chair, and resting her head upon her hands, she thought ; ami then procuring writing materials, she wrote, imitating a man's hand, several lines. This she directed "Rowland Saxby, Esq.," and sealed up. "Ha. ha!" she laughed, "I am as clever as you are, Grace Thome. Y our time on this earth is short, and then I phall l free to try to win his love once more. No one will suspect it is I who was the cause of her death.

In In was "Ol,. dc murmured Leon, an ho I fa'ti'teit-d through the park, puffing laz ily at the everlasting cigar, "what a mis erable, unhaj.y wretch I am! No orre ItosjK-akto! It is awful! And when I thought Ethel would go for a walk this ' lovely moonlight night, of course she j3 indisposed. Never mind: I'll make the most of it. I'll rest in solitude and make myself as miserable as possible under the circumstances." And Leon took a seat inn a rustic 1-ench, which was placed under the shad ow of a gigantic oak. There he sat until the last fragment of his cigar had )en consumed, and it is quite .ssitdetbat he would have dropped off into a quiet sleep; iu fact, he had set tled himself for that purimse. Suddenly, however, he sat 1k-,H upright and looked straight liefore him. What was that black figure coming rapidly towards him? Was it a woman! "Now, that's a strange thing," muttered Leon. "What on earth does it mean ! Y es ; it is a lady, but who!" The figure rapidly approached, arid Leon darted behind the oak. He deter mined to see who it was. Nearer and nearer came the figure, and Leon could see that whoever it was wished to escape lieing seen, for she kept well in the shallow of the trees. Now she passed the oak, and as she did so. Leon almost uttered a loud cry of astonishment. "By Heaven!" he muttered, looking af herlike one stujiefii-d, -it is Ethel Dan vers! And what a terrible expression is upon her features! What does this mean! What mystery is here? Ah, she goes in the direction of the summer house. 1' is a dishonorable thing to do. but I must see what this Ethel Danvers." Buttoning up his coat, he slowly but c.i! iously. "My darling, only a little longer, and we shall lie one!" And Rowland, stooping full in the moon's rays, imprinted a passionate kiss upon the beautiful face upturned to his, beaming with a world of love. "Tl "ii make me very, very happy.
