" Uncle J jseh, will you see to the
luz-age ?"
"Certainly, madam." I replied.
I always called my brother's second
wife "madam ;" we never quarreled,
but each thought the other the most
diagreeable pers.m in the univer ;
and as we each knew what the other
thought, it may be imagined tbnt fur
intercourse was not of a verv cordial
kind.
I did see to the luggage, and took
their tickets for the York express by
the Great Northern Kailwav. ;
Fortunately we had a compartment
to ourselves that is, Mrs. Webster,
my niece Clara and myself.
"Clara, my dear, you lock as ill as
vou can look: no one would think that
to-morrow was your wedding day.
" Io l look ill. mama : said l lara
dreamily.
" Yes, my dear, and wretched, too.

l nele Joseph, he
ought to have come back and taken i
his dismissal quietly. I have no pa-j
tience with these poor men blighting
a girl's chances of getting well settled
in life in this wav. However thank
goodness, it's all over now ; the four
vears arc gone this three months. and
to-morrow she will be the happv
wife of a man whoe age will com- j
mand your respect, and whose posi-j
tion will secure you every comfort." !
"And mama, whom nothing on I
earth but my solemn promise to my j
poor dear father would make me call I
husband. i
"Well, my dear, it's fortunate for
your future interest that you made
that promise. I'm sure that Mr
Tredgar is a man after my own
heart. If I hadn't other views for
mv children's sake, I should have set
my own cap at Dim my sen. !
"I'm sure, madam, Mr. Tredgar)
would feel onlv too much honored if j
be knew your sentiments; the candid
avowal of them is, I think, highly
calculated to add to Clara's happi
ness, under existing circumstances."
" Well, you know, Uncle Joseph, I
am candid to a fault.
' Decidedly, madam, most decided
Iv," I replied ; a remark which caused
I Mrs. Webster to read a yellow cov
lered novel for sometime in silence.
though shortly afterwards she drop
ped asleep.
Clara stole to my side of the car
riage, and leaned ber head on mv
shoulder.
" Oh, Uncle, I wish I were dead ;
can it be very wrong to die? I am
so wretched ; I dread to-morrow. Oh
why will not God pity me and take
away my life ?"
"My iear Clara, don't, there's a
good child ; it's wicked to talk in that
way ; life must be borne ; I have felt
as you feel and yet I live, and am
not positivelv unhappy; onlv a
vague, scaaowy regret for what
might have been stands like a cloud
between me and any happiness that
might be mine. Yours are keen suff
erings, but bear them patiently, and
use will dull the pain."
"But. Uncle, whv did he not let
me hear from him, as mother savs ?
Because be was a man of honor ; j
the four years were np only last
April, and this is but July ; who can
tell where be is? Wherever he is.
j he is faithful and true, I know."
"Oh, Uncle. God bless you for
these words. I know, too, what can
I do? I cannot delay any longer;
my poor father's dying words, my
solemn promise to marry this maa,
my stepmother's persecutions what
can I do? Three months have I
fought, and now I wish I could lie
dowa and die. Oh ! Uncle, is there
no escape ? I have such a dread that
he will come back after I am married,
and then no! it would be worse
than death to see him ! The tempta
tionoh 1 why cannot I die ?"
" Poor child ! my poor child !" was
all I could utter.

"Step into my office. I dare .-ay j

Oh! it's very simple, sir, a tele-

i This we heard through the door as
! the station-master came along the
passage. Our Iriend Mr. Blake, had
j arrived some time before.
I The station-ma.-tcr entered, and bo-
des-:hind him a tall, broad-shouldered
man, with bushv beard and mousta-
I ches concealing all the lower rart of
the face.
" Will you have a light, sir?" said
ithe ftation-master to the officer.
j " Thank you. no."

; clasping her in his strong arms, while
jher face was hidden in his great

"My

! true darling, she loves me still.'
But why describe their meeting
Mr. Blake said to me at once :
"My dear sir, I am not wanted
here, and I doubt if vou are," and we
' left them.
In half an honr we thought it pos-
sible we might he less in the way.and
we went in. I hey sat oa the sofa at
a suspiciou.-Iy great distance from
each other, ami looked as happy and
foolish as possible.
" And now my dear Herbert,

" 'H, my dear I nele I may call

Oh, ves. A month sooner is not

... T- t .
Don't Uncle." said Clara.
" You know how I went away,
with just enough to pay for my tools
and outfit and paage. I went to
California to the diggings, and was
lucky, and got a good claim, worked
it, made a little money, took shares
in a machine, worked the claim, im
proved the machinery, became mana
ger, director, and got rich, started six
months ago to come home for Clara,
took the fever at Panama, was down
for two months there, not able to
move hand or foot, and arrived only
last night in Liverpool. There I met
an old friend and beard all the news
of poor Webster's death, the promise,
the rest, and above all, that to-morrow
was the day. I started by the
first train to get to London, thinking
that the marriage would take place
there, and that I should be in time.
Looking out of the window of the
carriage as the trains were passing
each other at Petersborough, I saw
Clara with her mother. I did not
see you. I was mad ; they had both
started ; I could not get out
There was Clara going from me,
and I gone from her, as fast as ex
press trains could take us. What
could I do? I knew nothing of where
she was going, and yet my informa
tion was positive that she was going
to be married to-morrow, solely be
cause she would keep her promise.
