Tint aft. ro-on wore away, and the evening
came, and still there were no siittis of Un. le Jo
seph's return. T. , warcl seven o'elnel Rosamond
was sumo' med by the nurse. who reported that
the child 1.34 awake and fretful After soothing
and quieting him, she took him back with her to
the sitting rtioni; having first, with her usual
consideration for the comfort of any servant
whom she employed, sent the nurse down stairs,
with a leisure hour at her own disposal, after the
duties the day "I don't like to be away from
you, Lenny, at this atizious time," tube said,
when she rej , ined her husband; "so I have
brought the child in here He is not likely to
he troublesome again]-'and the having him to
take care of its really a relief to me in our pre

The clock on the mantel-piece chimed the half
hour past seven. The carriages in the street
were following one another more sod more rapid.

to dinver, or on 'to it way to the opera The
hawkers were shou•irg prodamationa of news in
the neighhoriug wino..., with the second editi ons
1 the evening pipers under their arms Pen
plc who had been serving behind the counter all
day were standing at the shop doors to get a
breath of fresh air. Working men were troops
jog homeward, now singly, now together - 10 wea
groups I 'lt re, who had come
af•er dinner wt re lighting cigars at Corners
of 'triers, and looking ab .pt them, uncertain
which war they abould turn their steps nett. It
was just that transitional period of the even;og
at which t h is street life of the night has not quite

weariness of waiting by looking out of the win
dow, was lemming more and more deeply
absorbed in her own anxious thoughts,
when her attention was abruptly recalled to e
vents in the little world about her by the opening
of the room door She looked up immediately
from the child lying asleep on h •r lap, and saw
that rnele Joseph bad returned at last.
The old man came to silently, with the form of

Mr Frstiklaud's desire open in his hand. As
he approached nearer to the window, Rosamond
notic.d that his face looked as if it had grown
strange y older during the few hours of hie ab
licence. He came close up to her, sod still not
saying a word laid his trembling forefinger low
down on the opon paper, and held it before her
so the - she could look at the place thus ind;citted
without rising from her chair

It Don't speak a g ain; don't tell us anything
till you feel more eotoposted," said Rosamond.—
"We are relieved from our worst suspense now
that we know you have left her quieter and better.
I will ask uu more questions—et least," she
added, after a pause, "I will only ask one."—
She stopped; and her eyes' wandered inquiringly
toward Leotard Be had hitherto been li s t en in g
with silent interest to all that bad passed; but
he now interposed gently, and advised his wife
to wait a little before she ventured on saying any
thing more.
ult is suc h an e asy question to answer,"
pleaded Bommood. "I only wanted to bear
whether she has got my message--whether s h e
knows that I am waiting and longing to see her,
if she will but let me come!"
" Yes, yea," said the old man, noddi ng t o
Rosamond, with an air of relief. i•Th a t
is m is an y ; eas i er e ven thou you think, for it
brings me straight to the beginning of all that I
have got to say." He bad been hitherto walk
ing restlessly about the room; sitting down one
moment and getting up the next. He now placed
a °hair for himself, midway, between Rosamond
—who was sitting, with the obi*. see r th e w i n
dow—and her husband, who ocettpied the sofa at
the lower end of the room In this position.
whieb enabled him to address himself alternately
to Mr and Mrs. Frankland without dffieulty, he
soon reeovored composure enough to open his
heart unreservedly to the interest of his sub
jeet. ,
"When the worst was over and past," be said,
addressing Rosamond—"when she could listen
and when I oould speak, the first words of coin
fort that I said to her were the words of your
message. Straight she looked at me with doubt
log, fearing eyes. 'Was her husband there to
hear her?' she says 'Did be look angry? did
be look sorry? did be change ever so little, when
you got that message frciim her?' And I sale,
'No: no change, no anger, no sorrow, nothiig
like it.' And she said again, 'Has it made
between them no misery? has it nothing wrench•
ed away of all the love and alr the happiness
that binds them the one to the other?' And
once more I answer fn that, 'No: no misery, no
wrench gee now! I shall go my ways at oho"
to the good wife, and fetch here to answer
for the good husband with her own tongue '—
While I speak those words thegullies out over all
her fees a look—oii, not a look—a light, like

And she says, 'No! not yet. I must not are

she stops, and the hand crumple. up the •hret

"I knew it was not, fr'm the first, as surely

" I speak ber words, not mine," rejninPd the
old man, gravely. "Wait, before you hid me

end
Re drew his ebair a little nearer to Rosamond,
paused for a minute or two, to arrang e hil l rc•
collettions, and to separate them one from the
other; then resumed:
" Ae• Sarah began with me," he Plaid, "en I,
for my part, must begin also—which mean' to
gay, that I go down now through the years that
are put, to the time when my niece went out to
her first service You know that the sea captain,
the brave and good man .Treverton, took f , r his
wife an artist on the .tigf—Jvhat they call play
actress here? A grand, big woman, and a hau4-
same; with a life, and a spirit, and a will in her,
that is not often seen: a woman of the sort who
can say. We will do this thing, or that thing—
and do it in the spite and face of all the scruples,
all the ebataeles, all the opposition in the world.
To this lady there comes for maid to wait upon
her, Sarah, my niece—a young girl then, pretty,
and gentle, and very. wry shy Out of many
others who want the place, and who are holder.
and bigger, and quicker girls, Mrs Treverton.
nevertheless, picks Sara% This is strange, but
it is stranger yet that Sarah, on her part, when
she comes out of her first fears, and doubts, and
pains of shyness about herself, gets to be food
with all her heart of that grand and handsome
mistress, who has a life, and a spir:r, fil o a w ill
of the sort that is not often seen This is strange
to say, but it is also, as! know fretn Sarah's own
lips, every word of it true "
"True beyond a doubt," said Le quint. "Most
of the strOng attachments in the world are form
ed between people who are unlike each other "
"So the life they led in that ancient house of
Porthgenna began happily for them all," con•
tinned the oid men "Ti love that the mot
tress bad for her :Inshanti was sn'full in hi r heart
tba. it overfl tvel in ',"ll.inesa to every body who
was abmit her, anal to Strati, her maid, befnr-,
all th. req. She w.ulti hive robot!: bar Sarah
to read to her. to w.trk for it r, to dress her at
eight. She was familiar as a sister might hare
here with Sarah, when the two were alone, in
the long days of rain. It was the game of her
idle time—the laugh that she liked most—mar
' trmish the poor enuntry maid, who had never
1.1 much as seen what * thlatrot'stnahle was like,
by dres , ing its fine einthes, and rinting her fat,
Bed speaking sod doing all that she bad dorm on
the data/weans, in the days that were beim°
her marriage. The more she startled and pus
sled Sarah with these jokes sad praaks of mas
querade, the better she war always pleased.—
For a year this easy, happy life went oo in the
ancient house—happy for all the servants--hap
pier still for the master and mistress, but for
the want of one thing to make the whole com
plete, one little blessing, that was always hoped
for, and that urver came—the same, if you please
as the blessing in the long white frock; with the
plump, tielieate face and the tiny arms, that I
see before me now."
He paused, to point the allusion by nodding
and smiling at the child in Rosamond'■ lap, then
resumed.
"As the new year gets on," be said, "Sarah
sees in the mistress a ohmage. The good sea
captain ire man who loves children, and is food
of getting to the horse all the little boys and
girli of his frieodt round about. He plays with
thew, he kisses them, he makes them presents—
be Is the best friend the little boys and girls
bare ever had. The mistress, who should be
their best friend too, looks on and says nothing;
looks on, rent sometimes, and sometimes pale;
goes sway into ter romprmps garde bat work
tor her, and walk. about, and finds fault; and
one day lets the evil temper fly out of her tongue,
and says, 'W by have I got no child for my hus
band to be food of? Why must be kiss and
play always with the children of other women?
They take his love away for something that is
not wine I hate those children and their
mot hers too!' It is her passion that speaks then,
but it speaks what is near the truth for all that.
She will not make friends with qty of those
mothers; the ladies she is familiar 'fond with are
the ladies who have no children, or the ladies
whose families are all up-grown. You think
that was wrong of the mistress?"
He put the question to Rosamond, who was
rnyi og thoughtfully with one of the baby's hands
which Ras resting in hers. "I think Mrs
Treverton was very much to be pitied," be
sowed, gently - lifting the child's hand to her
lips
"Then 1, for my part, think an too," said Uo•
ele Joseph. " I 'o be r ajel?- 7 -yea! To be more

can say the words that are meat to owns, Sarah
falls on her knees, and cries out suddenly to be

more. That was all the answer she gave. It was
enough for the truth then—y. is enough for the
troth DOW."
He sigh-A bitterly, and ceased speaking for a
little while. No voice broke the reverent silence
that followed his last words. The one living
sound that stirred in the stillness of the room
was the light breathing of tha ohild, as be lay
asleep in his mother's arms %
k'That was all the answer," repeated the old
man, "and the mistress who heard it, says noth.
ing for some time after, but still looks straight
forward into Sarah's face, and grows paler and
paler the longer she looks—paler and paler, till
"n a sudden she starts, and at one flash the red
dies back into her face. 'No,' she says, whis•
poring and looking at the door, 'once your friend
Sarah, always your friend. Stay in this house,
keep your own counsel, do as I bid you, and
leave the rest to me.' And with *at she turns
round quick on her heel, and falls to walking up

she is out of breath. Then she pulls the bell
with an angry jerk, and calls out loud at the
door, 'The horses! I want to ride!' then tuna
upon Sarah. 'My gown for riding in! Pluck
up your heart, poor creature! Oa my life and
booor, I will save you! My gown—my gown,
then! lam mad for a gallop in the open air!'—
And she goes.out in a fever of the blood, and
gallops, gallops, till the horse reeks again, and
