Gladys does nut know how- she come lo

she has never appealed to hi r before fur

ahe wants to arar a wnUian' views of tbe
business, a l . i ! she kiinw Fliuor to be per-f-etlr
trim worth v. nasi capable, nion-
orw. of delivering a sound judgment. S.i
she drives as .fast a she can to Nutley
aad turns with alacrity into the familiar
gates. Bet as she enter tile graveled
drive a mneh narrower ami shorter drive
than tbe one to Carrmiby House bf
perceive a:;.' her vehicle standing b f ire
tbe front door. Not a private carriage,
but a hired coach on the t ip of which
are two leather portmanteau while the
driver in even then preparing to decern!
from his box ami help the servant to tar
ry them into the bouse. Uladys' hearr
atauda mill. She reins in her ponies sud
denly, ami addresses a gardener, sweep
ing away the dead leaves, in a scared and
frightened voire:
"What in that gardener? Who has ar
rived '!"
"Mr. Brook. my lady." replies the
man, touching bts shady hat. "lie be
just arrived from furrin jwr'H. He's iioi
bevo p:is;nl here a minute, my lady."
Gladys (jives a tremendous tuj: to her
reina that sends the puiien r'aring on

heads in a moment.

quite unaware ho.v she ot owt of lliut

all nhe thanks heavin for is that she did

th ignominy of driving up to Mr. Brooke's
house at tlie very monn nt of his return.
She forgets the Karl and Miss Iin.-hrrtoii.
and everything else, in the terrible exriH

the courage to drive straight up to the
house, aud greet hitn as a cousi.i should
do?
What must the servants thin!, of
extraordimiry behavior? Will they com
ment on it, and trace it to its true soiree?
Ail these thoughts Hit through the
Countess' b"in until she feels beside her
self with mingled j y, and shame, and
fear.
Her poor li:!!e steeds are made to feel
the varia'i-'iis of her temperament so
plainly this they become rather unman
ageable, and the groom has to descend
ajiain and othe them. I.ndy Moiiut
carnin bccoa.is impatient. She tosses the
reins down .-:nd leaves her seat.
"Take t!e::i ho;n William," she says.
"I am tired of driving to-day. 1 shall
walk back through the park."
The servant obeys orders, and Gladys
is left tc herself. This is just what she
desires.
Her mil:.! is in too perturbed and per
plexed a erudition for the society of any-thinff--ev"u

her to a life of agony and remorse. Oh!
if he can only stand once more with
Jeinmie in Moonlight Dell, and look up in
bis dear eyes, and tell him of all the pain

Gladys feels sure quite sure that they
wilt cement their love anew over the an
gaiah of the past. It is of no use fighting
against her feelings any more. She has
tried it and failed; and therefore it is not
I all likely that Jemmie shall have suc-

She has net heard from her brother fur
a cou)de of months, and La ou:ie ). riiird
that h" in tends to sjiend bis Ciir.stmas m

But llughie is positive.
"It is I'ncie Jemmie. I can tut- h s f

llie child (lie to the front door, and
his mother f.dious. to tind him already in
the arms of his uncle.
"Oh, Jem, this is a welcome surpr:e,"
she excluims, as he turns to greet her. "1
was feeling quite unhappy at the pros
pect of a solitary 'br:stinas day. My
dear, dear lioy. How glad I am to see
you safe home again. "
"If you are glad to se-e me, dearest
Nell," he replies, "what must I be to get
home to you again? But don't stand out

soon as 1 have settled with the coachman,
lt'in in, llughie, till I come and show you
what I have brought you from India."
And it is at this moment that liladys
turns her ponies' heads into the gate, and
sees the coach standing In fore the door.
The commotion she makes in trying to re
treat again, and the smothered esrlama
ious of the groom and gardener, attract
the attention of Mr. Brooke, lie raises
his hei,d from the money in his hand,
and catches sight of the back of the phae
ton as it plunges through the plot of
Auorican shrubs.
"Who is thritV" he demands of his
valet, standing by.
"1 think, 'f you pi . .. j-v pony
haise, f; Carrmoy House. I think
Her !,!,. ship is driving, sir. Shall I go
a:nl tell her you are here?"
"No. No!" said his master, hurriedly,
lni' i !c !.od mounts to his forehead as
he :: t.s. ami the hand with which he
drops tie fare into the driver's palm
trembles like a leaf. Then he whivlrs
rare!esslv, and divests himself of his great
coat in the hall, aud walks into the draw-itig-r-H.m
with an nsMimptiun of !ic:ng per
:"ci tlv at his rnvo. ,
"My darling boy!" cxilaims his sister
as soon as he has rejoin' d her. "I cannot
say how delighted I am to see you. 1 had
given up all hopes of your Immib with us
at Christmas. Jeumiie. Vou know I
have nut heard from you since October,
ind I thought the attractions of Calcutta
had been too much for you. and we should
not ee you till the spring."
"I hope I have not put you out. Nell.
1 always meant to be home for Christ
mas, you know, and I had nothing partic
ular to tell you the Inst mou'li."
"i oj bale enjoy ed yourself, 1 hope."
"Very much; but it palled a little at

intention, and that unrig accomplished.
ti.cre was no farther need of ilelav."
i am KJiio u is accorn;to.iieu, savs
honor, softly.
"Now. let us talk of something elsf,'
s.-sjs Jemmie, anxious to change the sub
ject. "What's the news of Nutley'
Kverything right on our extensive tio
"Kierythiug."
"And how are the cousins
"M iiiiitcarron and Oladvn
well:"
Hi, very
"s. heart-
"That's all right," he au?
ily.
"At h ast." coiitinues I'.linor, correcting
liersiit. "Mountcarron's very well, bin
his wife is not."
Jemmie starts.
"What's the matter wi:h her?"
"Nothing particular, I believe, but she
is, not strong, and she is very thin. I
thooghf I might ns well prepare you for
seeing her. .'. iimiie. for she is certainlj
changed, and it it might be a surprise
to you."
She then went on to tell her brother all
that the reader is already acquainted
with, including the rumors concerning
I-ard Mounttarroti and Ague Itush'Tton,
which, she, too bad heard.
Jeumiie is naturally indignant, and de
clare that the scandal must be stopped.
"When shall you go and see them?"
asks his sister.
Mr. Brooke looks uneasy, and begins to
stammer.
"I don't know! I canntit tell. To
morrow, perhaps, if I have time."
"To-morrow is a hunting day. Th.
hounds meet at Wordley Copse. I (ap
pose Monntcarron and Miss Ktsherton
will be there. I believe tbey have not
missed a meet this season."
"Does not Cindy hunt, too?"
"Oh, no. She ha given up riding alto
gether. She tells me she is not strong
enough. Shall yon ride to bounds to
morrow, Jemmie?"
'Tertian I may. 1 am not sure. I.
should like to find out a little more about
Monntcarron and Miss Kusherton first,
for were I to see them together, and at
all confidential, I am afraid I couldn't
keep my hands off him,"
"Oh! Jemmie, remember he is your
cousin."
"I remember more plainly that (Jlady
i my friend."
"Vght not the world misinterpret your
chivalry on her behalf?" demands Lady
Renton, hesitatingly.
He stops short and retards her fixedly.
Her eyes droop, but his are steadfast.
"I shall not care what the 'world'
thinks," he answers slowly, "so long a
I have the approval of my own con
science. And from this moment to my
last, Elinor, my protection and all the
Ut eoergW I poea will be at tbe ser

Her cheek have fallen in, and two bright

Her figure is slighter than ever beneath
the fold of her velve' tire, and the hand
she extends to him is almost transparent.
In the shock of seeing her thus. Mr.

with marital indifference. "Now, what's

"Are you sure she ha only fainted?
Ring for assistance, for heaven's sake,
man! Send for her women, or someone
to revive her."
"Why, what should lt.be but a faint?"
remarks the Karl, a he rings the bell,
and desirei the servant to send her lady

too much paraphernalia in every -day

should In- the formation of habits of
truth, attention, lieaiuess, courtesy
and reverence. And ibis should be
brought about by pleasant processes.
Or. Oilman urges preparation for
practical life for public school chil
dren, who w ill not take higher courses.
The eye anil hand training should be
thorough, ami while drawing Is of
great value, more than drawing is
needed. The observation of nature
should be cultivated, and practical em

"From the needle to tbe pencil, from
tbe knife to the box of tools, is an easy
graduation, everywhere possible, and
every young person should lie carried
through at least three stages of 'handi
craft.' 'Look,' 'do,' 'think,' and 're
member,' are four lessons that ought
to lie enjoined upon every scholar, ev
ery day through tbe period of adoles
cence." As regard religious Instruction.
President Oilman suggested that the
term "Oodles schools" Is mad.' possi
ble by religious people who are afraid
of the introduction of religious instruc
tion Which tints not unite meet their
own views. The essentia! points In re

child. A book of selections from the
Scriptures might be made which could
be indorsed alike by I'rotcstant and
Human Catholic. Men nt I me teacliTS
