SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE When that long "banquet scene" was at an end, and the ladies left the room, I found myself, by the retirement of old Lady Salteith, next my hearty straight forward manly friend Jack Fortescuc, with whom I had already exchanged a nod behind the old lady's back. I was very glad to see him. We talked about all sorts of things; and presently got up on the sulject which had been occupy ing me so much during dinner. I was rather anxious, I must own, to lead to it, having heard a rumor somewhere or oth er that toy Iriend Jack himself was smit ten with Miss Cr.tweour. 1 don't know when I had heard - it, or *here. ThOse things seem in some societies to circulate in the air. 11E,L NC To my surprise T found Forteseue very uncommunicative about this twitter, and ,still more, to my wonder, I observed a tendency in him rather favorable to this match. Ile even sought to defend Lord Sneyd against my attacks. "Oh, he's not such a bad fellow," he said, "when you come to know him. He's aflectcd, you know, and pretends to be wonderfully refined, and to be a petit maitre, and all that, but he has his good points. We fellows who are always shoot ing, or fishing, or riding over stone dykes, are apt to undervalue a man of quieter tastes, and more sedentary pursuits. Sneyd goes in, you know, for being a sort of artist. By-the-by—talking of artists —did you see that portrait of the duchess in the Academy this year--wasn't it good ?" I saw that my friend wanted to get a way from the subject, so of course I did not attempt to pursue it. I was not en lightened by any thing that occured in the drawing-room after dinner. Miss Crawcour and Fortescue hardly exchang ed a dozen words, and Lord Sneyd was in attendance upon the young haly through. out the evening. In the smoking-room afterward Lord Sneyd refused cigars, and smoked some infernal perfumed composi tion Out of a Hookah. Heaven -knows what it was. Opium, perhaps? Nothing wholesome I'll warrant. It was on the day succeeding that of my arrival at Creel that I sought the bil liard-room, the usual refuge of the un employed. I had remained at home that morning, baying some letters to write and other things to do in my cwn room. These finished, I had still half an hour or more on my bands before luncheon, so I thought I would wend my way to the billiard room. If I found any one to play with so much the better. If not, I would praotice difficult cannons for half an hour or so, and in that way get through the time. Two peuplo were in the room. A gen tleman and a lady. Jack Fortescue and Miss Crawcour. They were standing to gether at the further end of the 'table. Both had cues in-,their hands, and the balls, were-on the - board, but at' the mo ment of my entrance they mere certainly not playin - g. Miss Crawceur's back was to the light, but a glance showed me be yond wehadow of doubt that she had been crying—was crying oven.' when I entered the room. , . , What was I to do I , F,ortesoue was my friend.

Two or three more follow ed. Then a hazard. At last a bad shot, and it was time for Miss Crawcour. She came to her place at the table, and made a violent effort to collect her ' self. I did not look at her, but pretend ed to be absorbed in marking Fortescue's score. I heard her cue strike the ball in an uncertain way. There was no subse quent sound indicating the contact of her ball with one of the others. It was a miss. The moment she had made it she placed her cue against the wall, and say ing something indistinctly about not be ing able to play and about my finishing the game instead of her left the billiard rooM, closing the door after her. As soon as she was gone Fortescue came up to where I stood. "After what you've seen," he said "it's no use my attempting to make a secret of what has been going on between Miss Crawcour and myself." "My dear Fortescue, I have no wish to force myself on your confidence. What I have Been can be forevdr as if I had not seen it, if you wish it. You know 'that." "No, no, I don't wish it," he answer ed, quickly. "But come out side with me for half a minute. •We can't talk here." Out in the open air, the rooks cawing about the tree-tops as their nests waved to and fro in the wind, he spoke again, as we lay on the grass. "I dare say you have beard my name and Miss Crawcour's spoken of together? You have. I don't know what right any one has had to talk about either of us. However, that can't be helped. Ile paused, and did not seem able to go on. "I hate speaking of things of this sort," he continued, after a moment, and in an impatient tone ; "one's words sound like words in a valentine or a trashy novel. Well, it can't be helped. I love this girl, Mary Crawcour. I would do any thing for her." "And yet you could sped: yesterday about her marrying that, man Sneti•d.•' "Volt were nut then in my emilid nee. To the world 1 must seem to facer that marriage. l ace pledgail to do so." "fled red ! To whom ?" "To the duchess." ")ly dear Fortescue, how, inileaven's name, could you enter into so radii an en gagement?" "How? How could I do otherwise, you mean ? You know my position. I have two hundred a year and my pay. Can I marry that girl, accustomed to the life she is accustomed to, on- that ? Have I a right to fetter her with along engage ment, on the remote possibility of my be coming possessed of rifbperty between which and myself there are half a dozen lives? Have I a right to stand in the way of such a marriage as that with Sneyd? What could I say when the duchess put these questions to me ?" Po you believe that Miss ('raweour would be happy in such a marriage ?" I don't klmw," answered Forteseue, almost desperately. " I have seen such misery come from poverty in married " Depend on it," I answered, " it is not the worst evil by many, many de grees. "Forteseue," I continued, after a moment's pause, "does Miss Craweour love you ?" " I think so," he said, speaking in a low voice. " Then depend on it you are doing wrong. You are acting as you think rightly, and with a great and noble self denial. 13ut you are mistaken, cruelly, terribly mistaken, if you have pledged yourself to favor this match with Sneyd, and to give up your own hold on that young lady's love." "latu pledged," Forteseud answered. "To what?" " To do riothing that is maculated to hinder the marriage with Sneyd, and not to press my own suit by word or deed for a period of five years—by which time, of course, all chance will be over." And this was what you were telling Miss Crawcour jUst now ?" " Something of it. She foll Owed me to the billiard-room. She seems desper ate, reckless. She swears she will hot have him. I entreated her to leave me -you saw the rest." I said, after a moment's pause, " The conduct of the duchess surprises nie in this thing, I own. She has such good points, I know. She is kind-hearted, hospitable—" .- " Yes, she is all that," said Fortescue, interrupting me, " but she is touched by the world like every body else. Why, you don't know what. p the notions of these people are. The things that are neces saries iof life to them—real necessaries of life-L---require a fortune to provide them.

When the party goes out riding to-morrow morning I shall excuse myself, and—and leave this place, most likely forever. There is a row in India, I hear; perhaps I shall get rid of my life there. It's at any body's service." Again there was a pause. I know what that careless tone meant, and for a tine I could not speak. " Fortescue," I said at last, " I have one more thing to ask. This Sneyd spo ken yet?" " No," answered my friend, riding to lead the way to the house; " but he is certain to do so to-day—or to-morrow." That afternoon a party, of which For tescne 4.nd I formed two, went out cov er-shooting in the neighborhood. I nev er saw my friend shoot so ill. Indeed the poor fellow seemed entirely bewil dered, and unfit for any thing. I think he only joined the party to get, away from the house. Miss Craweour did not appear at din ner.• She was suffering from a headache, the duchess said, and preferred remain ing in her room. Lord Sneyd professed as much interest as would comport with his languid manner. I could see in Forteseue's face, carefully as he had drilled it, how much he suffered addi tionally at not spending this, his last evening, in Miss Crawcour's society. The next day came, and I was again' prevented, by certain literary labors to which I was obliged to devote myself, from ping out in the early part of the day. I spent the morning in my room, which was situated in one of tie round towers which flanked the entrance of the castle, one on WWII side. About half past eleven I heard the voices of sumo of the men who were stay ing in the castle. as they lounged about the door, gossiping and talking. Soon after I licalllthe clatter of liorz , es' poufs iu this di,tanye. soon the ,-ante sound accompanictl by the scattering of gravel. tool the mare and " Steady la n
