Her eyes are peculiarly large and dark,

Penruddock grows a little pale as she
approaches, and acknowledges her pres
ence, not with speech, but by a slight
gesture of the hand.
The woman takes no notice of his
greeting, but, drawing herself up to her
full height, for several moments gazes
at him thoughtfully.
"Well?" he asks, at length, as though
unable longer to endure her scrutiny.
"My lady is dead!" savs the woman,
slowly, rather than curtly, and with a
difficulty which is very apparent to him.

as though somewhat reluctant to pro

one) should by the will be compelled to

eighteenth birthday, when in reality
she is mi.strej3 of i:. arid ail the lands

died," s.in.s Penruddock. impatiently.

toward me. said, with her poor eves
wild and friehtened, as it were. 'Now
that I am torn. anl forever, alas! from
my swts-t lamb, she must walk beside
the wolf!' "
"Ah! 'says Penruddock, drawing liis
breath quickly, and coloring darkly; "is
that the truth", or is it only that which
you have yourself invented?'
"It is true. You would have me
speak. But" lowering her head "it
niay have been but ravine. When death
is near, how few know light from dark
ness:
"AVhat more did she sav?" demanded
he. as though deaf to her'last remark.
"She made me sw ear that I would
never forsake the little one; that as I
had ln-en its nurse for three lotiir ve.irs
sol would still cherish and keep a
watchful eye upon her. I swore it,"
says the woman, solemnly, raising her
eyes to thedull sky above 'her, as though
in memory of her "oath in heaven;"
"and I shall never break that promise,
come what will, and cost me what it
mav to keep it."
She pauses then, and looks keenly at
Penruddock, who meets her gaze as
firmly as though his heart was frank
and true, his mind without a single
thought of evil.
"When will it please von. sir, that I
shall bring the child down?" she asks
presently, in a subdued tone. "This
evening? Already she pices for bet
dead mother, poor bairn; but if with
Maister Dick. I think the feeling of
loneliness might be lightened, and, no
doubt, in a verv little time would cease
to exist altogether."
"Very well. Let her be sent this
evening." says Penruddock. slowlv, un
willingly, as it .-cents to the ear of his
attentive listener.
"Perhaps I hurry you?" she savs with
a certain newborn ncrvou.-ue-s" in lit r
manner. "It is too hastvan arrival.
There will be our sleeping-room to ar
range, and the preparations for it
mav "
"There need be no trouble." savs I 'en
ruddock slowly. "There is notlling to
arrange. My niece can sleep in the
nursery with WiJkins."
"Miss Penruddock alwavs sleeps with
me in my rooru," says " the woman,
growing terror in her eves. "Wilkins
is nothing to her; I am a"ll the world to
her."
For the future
manv thinra will 1
cnangeu." says 1'enruddock, speaking
, coldly and with singular precision. "It
; is better you should understand at once
i that your services in this family will no
I longer be required. My son s nurse
will be sufficient for both children."
i The w oman's face alters as he speaks
i until it is almost unrecognizable,
i A gray, leaden pallor discolors her
lips: her eyes grow strangely dark.
By a supreme effort, she'so far con
trols Herself as to speak with some
Iearance of calmness.
ap-
lou would separate me from the
child?" she says, in alow, anguished
tone.
Her hands are clasped behind her
back, well out of sight, lest he shall see
how the lingers, closing on each other
leave white marks upon the knuckles!
"Yes; it will be better so. I shall
keep no one near mv niece who may
prejudice her against her uncle." replies
lie, with a Blight sneer; "her guardian
too. according to her father's w ish."
She makes a quick gesture, as though
she would dispute the insinuation: but
he prevents her.
"It is useless arguing." he savs. "Your
manner betrays you. It is distrustful
and touches on insolence. From your
mistress you have, I know but too well,
imbibed a hatred of me strong as it is
unjust."
The woman, pale now as death, makes
a step forward.
"I was her nurse," she savstiesperate
ly. "She is like my own hav. iaor to
me than the one! lost. Ail through
her young life I have borne with her
cared for her, loved her. She is part of
myselt. At tiiis bosom," crossing her
hands passionately upon her breast
"she was fed. She is til on earth I care

"I have spoken;" returns he unmoved;
"and tragic scenes have no charm for

any wages that are due you can have
whenev er it may suit vou to come for
them."
"Then it is all over," murmurs she,
faintly, pressing her hand to her lieart
and turning away.
But when she has gone a vardortwo,
she comes back again, ami confronts
him w ith a look upon her handsome
face iii to meet.
She is very white, and her large, un
earthly eyes burn with a revengeful fire.
"I had forgotten." -he says, .-iowly.
"My lady sent yon one more message.

"water, clear as Vers 1 or crv-t-il," that
flowing through the rot'.age garden
rushes onward lo the illimitable ocean.'
Among the great roses, heavy with
scent and bloom, the children are play
ing merrily, chasing each other in and
out. and hither and thither, through
countless rows of eandv-eolored beds
Hilda Pt nruddock. the litllo heiress,
with her yellow locks and pleasing
countenance, fair as an angel's, and
eyes, "colored with the heavens' own
blue." is racing ma !!v over walks and
closely-shaven gUlss. j,, k.ng like some
'milk-white blo-..om of the spring "
Her cousin, tall and slender for his
age. and handsome as an Indian cherub
in spite of his gohh-n-hrown hair, is
swiftly pursuing her. whilst merry
laughter from both their lips ascends
into the summer air.
"Ah, take care, Hilda!" calls the Ikv
as his cousin runs dangerously close to
the dep shelving bank that overhan 's
the liver. "I) not lean over. Yon

Penruddock, sitting in the oriel win
dow of the library that looks out upon
the garden, watches the children at
their play with moody brow and lips
compressed.
I'pon Hilda more especially his gaze
is fixed. What a frail life a mere
breath, as it were to stand between
his and (what is far more to him) the
Ikiv's advancement!
That this baby should inherit what,
but for her unwelcome birth, would by
law have been his. embitters and makes
wretched every moment of his life.
What a little, fragile thing she looks,
flitting about in the sunshine, in spite
of her merry laugh and joyous disposi
tion a thread that might be easily
snapped!
"i et how slow is the great King of
Terrors in claiming those whom we
would wish away how swift to clutch
at those we would give our heart's
blood to retain!
At this moment he sees the children
leaning over the bank (perpendicular
and utterly unprotected), at the base
of which tfie water runs so rapidly.
The boy s warning to stand back
comes to him upon the air.
What if the child, stooping foo far,
should overbalance herself, and sink in
to the foaming depths beneath swol
len with last night's rain and be car
ried onward to the cruel ocean? Whose
fault would it be? Who would be to
blame? Such accidents happen very
freiiuent ly.
Inly the aw ful thought presents itself,
bearing with it a fascination hard to
combat. Heart and brain it tills. to the
exclusion of a!l other thoughts.
Meantime. Hilda lias stooped short,
and in her shrill, sweet treble has order
ed Dick to go in -doors and bring her
out the dolly that shall represent an
other unhappy captive to his jowerful
and daring arm.
Dick engrossed in the reality of his
game, departs fr the fresh prey, noth
ing loath, leaving her alone in the quiet
garden, with no eye upon her save his
who watches with disfavor her every
movement.
At lirst. when left alone, she stands
her little finger in her mouth, as though
uncertain what next to do. Then a
butterfly, blue as the skies alnive her,
crossing her path, she gives chase and
runs until-it is beyond her reach, and
she herself is once more close to the
fatal bank before described.
She is sinving softlv a little gav song
all about that silly Bo-peep of ancient
memory, and the song is borne inwards
even to the ears of Penruddock. as he'
sits behind the curtains, cold and mo
tionless, waiting for he hardiv knows
what.
Whatever fiendish thought has taken
possession of him. he is. as vet. scarce
ly aware of it. but tarries, with white
bps and d .s' ended escs. that follow
eagerly and glaringly each footstep of
the child outside.
Hilda, with all tho youthful longing
for forbidden fruit, gares eagerly down
upon the water-lilies that are rocking
to and fro on the disturbed breast of the
agitated river.
Stooping fiver she cyaminen tlipni
! minutely longingly, her eves intense, a
i faint smile of pleasure on 'her lips.
Presently; kneeling down, .-he sus
1 pends halt her small body over the slop
ing bank, as though to gain nearer
knowledge of the tAiVeted Powers.
1'enruddock. shrinking back, with
one hand grasps the curtains, and trem
bles violently, whilst great drops of
dew be thick upon his forehead, that
already in anticipation seems red with
the cursed brand of Pain.
Eagerly he gazes on the little one.
She is barely balanced; the slightest
touch, the faintest motion, may send
her over into the river.
Prompted, it maybe, bv his good
angel, he makes a step forward, as
though to stay the catastrophe so im
minent. Then he suddenly stops.
A wretched memory that but belongs
to his vile desire comes to him, and
crushes all good within him.
Has he not somewhere heard that to
speak, or call, or crv aloud to a child
when in a dangerous position is but a
swift and sure means to cause its sud
den destruction? Therefore will he not
speak.
And, as though virtuous feelingalone
prompts him. ho holds his peace, and
tries to be P eve that his non-interference
may yet save the child.
et. in reality, and lie knows it well,
lie does not so believe. N o, he can not
so deceive himself.
The little heiress creeps still nearer
to the brink, always with her soft and
tender song upon her lips.
She sways suddenly, seeks to recover
herself, and then the poor baby til iel
with her childish longing for the unat
tainable, and with all her little soul rapt
in admiration of the fatal lilies falls
forward.
For a moment she clings convulsive
ly to the slippery bank. then, with a
sharp and bitter scream, roils down
ward, and is instantly snatched to tho
bosom of the greedy river as it rushes
oir. ard to the ?wa.
The whole aw ful tragedy has occupied
scarcely more than one short minute.
Penruddock. rousing himself when it
is too Lite, springs through the window,
out into the garden, past the roses that
sun smne and tremble coquettishlv be
neath the touch of the tickle breeze as
though no horribie thing had just been
done and gains the fatal spot.
(razing with wild and too late remorse
into tiie river, he fails to see signs of
white frock, or whiter limbs, or small
face, pale with terror.
The river has caught the little body,
and hurried it alone, nast tin. enrvo :.t
, the rock, through the meadow. perhaps
j already so deadlv swift it is out into
j the open sea. No tiny, struggling mass,
still instinct with life, can be seen
! nothing but the turbid waters,
j Penruddock. with a groan, sinks in-
on ins Knees, and. tailing each second
lower, soon lies prone, an inert ami un
conscious heap, ui. n the grass.
How long he remains there, pros
trate, end niercifiiiiy lost to time, he
never knows, but a voice, sweet and
loving, rouses h.m to life again.
"W hat is it. pap:;?" savs 'Dick, lieud
ing over him. "Are you ill? You w ill
catch co'd. so gei np. Nurse is alwavs
saying that Hilda nnd I are sure lo
catch sore throats if we lie on the erass."
As the little one's name passe the
boy's lips. Penruddock starts and
shivers, und after a few second. v a
supreme effort, raise himself to Lis
feet.
Never shall th" bo"y know how evil
Las been this deed he has committed.
He moves very feebly imh-ed toward
the hotme; but Da k lo'dows hi in.

on tiptoe, to bring his face nearer to
his father's, "i can't lind iier anvw here.

One box alone on the second tier is

within the light of the lamps
, She is followed by a girl, who, corn
ing to her side, stan is for a moment
motionless, gazing down and around
with a careless calm upon the fashion
able multitude with which the vast
building is crowded.
So standing together, the elder wo
man sinks into insignificance, whilst
the younger becomes the center of at
traction. She is of medium height
with a clear, colorless skin, and large

ance; yet every feature, and. indeed her
whole bearing, is marked with a mel
ancholy that seems to check even the
smile that 011 very rare occasions seeks
to dissipate the sadness on her lovely
countenance.
She is dressed in a somewhat strange
fashion for so young a girl. Her gown
is ot black satin, relieved hvsome heavy
golden chains that encircle her neck
she wears black gloves to her elbow'
and an enormous black fan flecked witli
gold. Upon her fair hair a tiny Indian

She is whimsical, old-fashioned, what
you will, but perfect in every look and
movement.
Having completed her slow survey of
the house, she turns and savs something

tan, and motions her to the chair oppo

"What a success you are. Maud!" savs

Perhaps that is their charm. M s

"Of course "not: Some people es

"And so she adopted that lovely girl I"
said Penruddock, presently, returning
to his contemplation of Beauty's box,
and reiering to Mrs. Neville.
"She might have done worse, might
she not? I shouldn't mind adopting
her myself," says Mr. AVilding. genially.
"And nobody seems to nvnd aiauit the
