I felt the blow more severely than the servants
or any one else about me supposed. Still, I was
a child in year% and I had the blessed elasticity
of a child's nature. If I had bees older, I might
have bees too mush absorbed id grief to observe
my aunt so closely as I did, when she was com•
peed nough to see me, later in the day.
I was not surprised by the swollen mate of her
eyes, the paleness of her cheeks, or the fresh
bust of tears that came from her when she took
me in her arms at meeting. But I was bosh
amazed and perplexed by the look of terror that
I detested in her face. It was natural enough
thee she should grieve and weep over my sister's
death, but why should she have that frightened
look also, as if some other catastrophe had btu,-
posed? I asked if there was any more dreadful
news from home besides the news of Caroline's
death. My aunt said, No, in a strange stifled
foie*, sad suddenly turned bar face from ute.
Was my father dead? No. My mother? No.
Unnle George? My aunt tremble.' all over as
eke said No to that also, and bade me Geese ask
ing any more questions. She wee not At to bear
Ikea yet, she said; and signed to the servant to
lead me out of the room.
The next day I was to go home after the fu
neral, and was taken out towards evening by the
house maid, partly for a walk, partly to be num.
mired for my mourning clothes. After we bad
left the tailor's, I persuaded the girl to extend
oar walk fur some distance along the sea beach,
selling her as we went every little anecdote oon'
netted with my lost, sister that came tenderly
beak to my memory in those first days of sorrow.
She was so interested in hearing, and I in
speaking, that we let the sun go down before we
thought of turning back.
The evening was cloudy, and it got on from
dusk to dark by the time we approached the town
again. The housemaid was rather nervous at
finding herself alone with me on the beach; and
once or twice looked behind her distrustfully as
we went on. Suddenly she squeezed my hand
hard, and said—" Let's get up on the cliff as fast
as we can." The words were hardly out of her
month before I heard footsteps behind me; a man
came round quickly to my side, sostohest me
away from the girl, and, catching me np in his
arms without a wood, covered my face with kis
ses. I knew that be was crying, because my
cheeks were instantly weted with his tears; but
it was too dark for me to see who he was, or even
how he was dressed. He did not, I should think,
hold me half a minute in his arms. The house
maid screamed for help, I was put down gently
on the sand, and the strange man instantly dis
appeared in the darkness
When this extraordinary adventure was relat.
ed to my aunt, she sewed at first merely bewil
dered at hearing of It; but in a moment more
there came a change over her face, as if she had
suddenly recollected or thought of something
She turned deadly pale, and seid in a hurried way
very unusual with her, "Never mind, don't talk
about it any more. It was only a mischievous
triok to frighten you, I dare say Forget. all
about it, my dear—forget all about it."
It was easier to give ma this advice than to
make me follow it For many nights after, T

was taken home on the appointed day to
suffer the trial—a hard ooe, even at toy .ender
years----of witnessing my mother's passionate
grief and my father's mute despair. I remem
her that the soeno of our first meeting after
Caroline's death was wisely and considerately
shortened by my aunt, who took me out of the
room. She seemed to hare a e , tifit , ed desire to
keep me from leaving her after the door had clos
ed behind us; but I broke away, and ran down
stairs to the surgery, to go and cry for my lost
playmate with the sharer of all our games, Uncle
George.
I opened the surgery.donr, and could see no
body. I dried my tears and looked all round the
room; it was empty. I ran up stairs again to
UncleGrorge's garret.hedromn—be was not t h ere;
his &imp - hair-brush and old east-off razor-ome
that had belonged to my grandfather, were net
en-the dressing table. Had he get some other
bedroom? I went out on the land, and railed
softly, with as usecoouniable terror and sinking
at my heart, "Uncle George!"
Nobody answered; but my sent same hastily
up stairs.
Hush 1" she said. " Yon must never call
that name out here again ! Never." She stop
ped suddenly, and looked as if her own words had
frightesed her.
" Is Uncle George dead?" I asked.
My aunt turned red and psie, and stammered.
I did net wait to. beer what she mid: .1 brushed
past her, down the stairs—my bears was berating
—my flesh felt &dd. I ran breathlessly and reek
leesly into the room wheremy father and mother
had received me. They were both sitting there
still. I ran np to them, wringing my hands, and
crying ens ins passion of tears- 14 IsUnele George

My mother gave a scream that terrified me in

arm, and dragged me out of the room.
He took medown into his study, seated him•
self in his accustomed chair, and put me before
his, between his knees. His lips were awfully
white, and I felt his two hands, as they grasped
my shoulders, shaking violently.
" Yee ere urger to mention the name of Mi

trembling whisper. "Never to me, never to

At the end of my two yearint home, I att

a sailor from the time when I Arm west toy
with my aunt at the seasida—nad I perelahed
long enough in my reeolatioa to make my parents
recognise the necessity of weeding to my wishes.
My new life delighted me, pod I remained aWay
on foreign stations more an fear years. Wien
I returned home, it was to And a new sanction
darkening our fireside. My father died on the
very day when I manna oa my return voyage to
England.
Absence and change of scene had is no respect
weakened my desire to penetrate the oysters to
Uncle ()serge's disappearance. My mother's
health was so delicate that I hesitated for some
time to approach the forbidden subject in her
presence. When I at last ventured to refer to
it, suggesting to her that anylwadent reserve
which might have been DOOlllOlllll7 Irbil. I was a
child seed no longer be persisted in, sow ghat
I was growing to be a young man , she fell into a
violeat fit of trembling, and commanded me to

said, that the reserve to which I referred should
be always idoptcd towards me; be bad pot
authorised her, before she died, to speak More
openly; and, now that be was gone, she wciuld
not so much* think of acting on her! own salad:
ad judgment. My mot said the same thing; in
effect, when I smiled to her Determined pot
to be discouraged even yet, I undertook a jottrileY,
oAteesibly to pay my respects to my father's
family, but with the secret intention of trying
what I could learn in that quarter be the subject
of Uncle George. My investigations led to some
results, though they were by no means satisfac
tory. George had always been looked on with
something like contempt by his handsome sisters
and his prosperous htethere; and be bad not im
pr.ived his position in the family by his warm ad•
vocacy of his brother's cause at the time of my
father marriage. I found that my wacile's
surviving relatives now spoke of him slightingly
and carelessly. They assured me that they had
never heard from him, and thatt hey knew nothing
about him, except that be had gone away to settle,
as they supposed, in some foreign place, after
having behaved very basely and badly to my
father. Re had been traced to London, where
he had sold out of the funds the small share of
monoy which be had ioherited after his father's
death, and he had been seen on the deck of a
jay.
Beyond thi. nothing was known about him ta
what the alleged baseness of his behavior bad
c osisted, none of his brothers and sisters could
tell ma. My father bad refused to pain them by
g Into particulars, not only at the time of his
brother's disappearance, but afterwards whenever
the subject was mentioned. George had always
been the black sheep of the nook, and be must
bare been conscious of his own baseness or be
would certainly have written to explain and justify
bituqelf. Such were the particulars which I
gleaned during my visit to my father's family.—
To m ymind, they tender rather to deepen than to
reveal the mystery. That slob a gentle, docile,
affectionate creature as Uncle George should
have injured the brother he loved by word or
deed, at any period of-their intercourse, seemed
incredible; bui that-be . should have been guilty
of an set of boomer at the very time whenmy
sister was dying, wps simply and plainly imposei• I
ble. And yet, there was the itutomprehensibile
feet staring me in the foe, distills death of Caro
line and the disappearease of (rode George had
taken place in the same week! Never did I feel
