Meadow Brook MARY J. CHAPTER XVIi. (Continued. On awaking next morning her resolu- tkia was partia'ly shaken., and wight, perhaps, have been given up entirely, if In looking from her window, she had nut seen a sight which awoke within her the demon jealousy, by whose aid (the could do almost anything. The governess had arisen early, a was her usual custom, and gone forth into the garden, where ahe came unexpectedly upon Mr. Dela field, who, after expressing his plea'ir at meeting her, very quietly drew her arm within his own, and then walked with her several time through the gar den, casting often admiring glances to ward the drooping figure at his side. Ada went forth into the garden to meet them, nodding coldly to Hosa, and bestowing her sweetest smile upon tier guardian, who wound his arm round her waist and playfully kissed her forehead a liberty he would not dare to have take with Rosa, who, thinking that of course she was not wanted, made an effort to withdraw her arm. Hut Mr. Delafield's arm was strong, and he press ed it closely to his side, at the game time giving her a look which bade her stay. "Why don't you ask Miss Lee about your Boston friends?" said Mr. Dela field, when they had taken a few turns in silence. Ada tossed her head scornfully, and replied, "I don't think I bad any ac quaintances In common with Miss Lee; unless, indeed, it were her old aunty;' and with a little hateful laugh she lean ed across Mr. Delafield, and asked, "How la she? Bicbard, you would like to know." I was provoked at her manner, but I answered civilly that my aunt was well, adding, as one would naturally do, "Her bert Langley, I suppose you know, is dead." The news was unexpected, and com ing as it did, it produced upon her a singular effect, blanching her cheek to a marble whiteness, while her lips quiv ered spasmodically. Mr. Delafield was startled, and stopping short, demanded of her what was the matter. "Oh, nothing much," she answered, re covering her composure, and pressing her hand upon her side, "nothing but an ugly pain, which is gone now. I have felt it often lately;" and her face looked as unruffled and innocent as if she really thought it was the truth she had ut tered. Breakfast being over, I started for my room, accidentally dropping upon the stair a handkerchief which had been given me by Anna, and which had her name, "Anna Lee," marked in the cor ner. In honor of Ada's return, there was no school that day, and as the morn ing advanced and the heat in my cham ber grew oppressive, I went with my book to the sitting room and took a seat by an open window, where I soon became so absorbed in reading as not to observe i&lrs, Landing and Ada, who came out up on the piazza and sat down quite near me, but still In such a position that neither of us could see the other. After a time they were joined by Mr. Dela field. I resumed my book and forgot my neighbors entirely, until my atten tion was roused by the sound of my own name. It was Mrs. Lansing who spoke, and she asked, "What kind of folks are those relatives of Miss Lee?" "Oh, about so so," answered Ada, and Mrs. Lansing continued, "And she was then at school, I believe?" "At school!" repeated Ada, apparent ly in surprise. "Mercy, no! Why, (he was a grown-up woman, as much as twenty-two or twenty-three years oil." "There, I thought so," answered Mrs. Lansing, who, the reader will remember, had, at my first introduction, tuken me to be twenty-five. "I thought she must be'pd Mrs. Lansing, while Ada continued. more than eighteen, didn t you, Rich ard?" "Eighteen!" repeated Ada. "It isn't possible she calls herself eighteen. She dare not do it in my presence. Why, she had been a teacher, I don't know how long, and, besides that, 'twas arid that she had once been engaged to a Dr. Clayton, who for some reason jiltpd her, and was then a msried man as much as thirty years old. Eighteen, itideed! I'd like to hear her say so." I was confounded, but supposing she had mistaken me for Anna, my first impulse was to go out and tell her so, but fearing lest she should think I had intentionally listened, my second thought wns to go away where I could hear noth ing further, and then, when Mrs. Lan sing questioned me, as I felt sure she would, I fancied it would be an essy matter to exonerate myself from the falsehood Ada had put upon me. I hail reached the hall, and was half way up thj; st:tir. when Mr. Delafield, who had arisen nnd was walking back and forth on the piazza, espied me, and called me back. ..Thvre was a troubled look on hi face, mid fixing b,i piercing black eye ipon r.ie ns if he would read my inmost thoughts, he said, with something of bitterness In the tone of bis voiced "I did thh:k I had found one female who, on all occasions, spoke the truth; but if what Ada ha said is true, I am mistak en: though why yon" and his hand in voluntarily clutched my arm "or any other woman should stoop to a falsehood, r seek to deny her age, be she a hun dred or le, Is a secret which heaven know, perhsf, but I do not." I felt my face flush with Indign iti m, and turning toward Ada, who, not hav ing expected scene like thU, wss very pale, I aaid. "It i no necessary , Mis Uonfrose, for yon to repeat wht yon I. are asserted concerning me, for I accl ttentally overheard It, and I thank Mr. lrlneld for giving me in opportunity to esoiierate myself from the charge jon re pleased to bring against me."

UH tmtfUf4 Mr. Delafield, tn a .?oie rhk we both obeyed. n rwaaalb her o-edJetrociR while 1 conrinird: "I bad tken h:y seat by the window ere you S Wm Montroa came oat here, and 3 ttcfciai It accessary to lea re, 1 re - '( with, howew, hearing r-M liMVaraathM an til I caught ita? mm Taem, aadeej. my 22X3 aa HOLMED seiiae were sharpened, and I heard Mia : Montrose's statements, which I aui cure she would never have made- were she uot laboring under a mistake. Here Ada, who was not in the least prepared fur the occasion, began to staiSmer out something about "letting tho matter drop she did not wish to harm me, and had said what she did inadver tently, without ever dreaming of making trouble. .Sne didn t see why Richard wished to make it such a serious mat ter, for she was sure she didn't care whether I were forty or eighteen. nut i care, he said, grasping my arm still tighter, "1 care to have justice doue. I had supposed Miss Lee to be frank, ingenuous ami truthful; and if what you assert is true, she is the re verse, and should suffer accordingly, while, on the contrary, if she be inn.v cent, she shall have an opportunity of proving herself so. By this time Ada had collected her scattered senses, and resolving to brave the storm she had raised, replied, "Oer tainly. Miss Lee has a right to clear her self if she can. and prove that she is really Rosa instead of Anna Lee Rosa instead of Anna! What do you mean?" thundered Mf Delafield. while I was too much astonished to speak, Ada was not very deep, and in all her plotting she had never thought how easy it would be for me to prove the falsity of her assertion by writing home; so with the utmost coolness she replies: mean this: there were two Lee girls liv ing at the bouse of their uncle where I occasionally visited; one was Anna, i young lady of. twenty-two or twenty three; the other was Rosa, a school girl of fourteen or fifteen. The oldest of these two I have every reason to believe stands before us at least this, which I found upon the stairs, would indicate as much," and she held to view the band kerchief which I had dropped and had not missed. - Glancing at the name, Mrs. Lansing said: "I have observed a similar mark upon several of her garments, and rather wondered at it." This was true, for Anna had dealt generously with me, giving me many of her clothes, some of which bore her full name, while others had merely the in itials. I was about to tell of this, when Mr. Delafield prevented me hv asking if I could prove that I was what I rep resented myself to be. and that 1 was a mere school girl when I saw Miss Mon trose in Boston. "Yes. sir, I can," I answered, firmly; by writing home I can prove it. if in no other way. But Miss Montrose knows better than to confound me with Anna, whom she surely has rason for remem bering." Fearful lest her darling secret waa about to be divulged, Ada roused up, and in a tone of angry defiance, answered: Yes, I have reason for remembering vou. for you did me good service by taking off my hand a worthless, drunken fel low, about whom the Bostonians were annoying me. I thank you for It, Miss Lee, and only wonder how you could sup pose I wonld forget you. I recognized you the moment we met st the table, but I did not then dream of your calling your self eighteen when you are certainly twenty-six." I was confounded and remained speech less, while with renewed strength my accuser continued: "Perhaps yon wiil deny having been a teacher at that time, when, according to your statement, you were only fourteen." "No." I answered, "I do not deny that; "I had taught, but I was only thirteen when I did so, as any one at home v. ill testify." "Thirteen! how Improbable!" exclaim- And what of your engagement with Dr. Clayton? I heard it from the lips of your a tint : but perhaps she told me a falsehood;'' and she looked maliciously nt me. while with a stamp of his foot Mr. Delafield said sternly, "Ada, you have no right to i'iet'on her about thnt." "lint I am glad she did," I snid, "for as I live, I have never been engaged to any man." "Nor in love with one either? Will you say you were never in love with Dr. Clayton?" persisted Ada. It was a cruel qacstion, but I could not deny it, and I remained silent, while I cowered beneath the burning gaze of Mr. Delafield. who still held me fast, IVut who now loosened his hold, nnd slightly pushing ine from him, leaned against the pillar with foiried arms and dark, lower ing brow, while Mrs. Lansing and Ad i exchanged glances of triumph. Th:-y had by my sileuce gained a partial ad vantage over me, but as long as I felt the clnsp of Mr. Delafield' hand, I was strong to defy them. Now, however, tfiat had failed me, and girl-like I began to cry, telling them "they could easily tcrt the whole matter by writing either to Boston or Sunny Bank." This alternative had Dot occurred to Ada before; but now she rpsdily saw how easily I could prove my Innocence, and as she met Mr. Delafield's Inquiring glance, she turned very pale and laid her hand upon her side as If the pain bad ie turned. "Hosa." said Mr. Delafield, "you would hardly wish for me to write were, you guilty, and as you seem willing that we should do so, I am iifellned to hope that Ada may be mistaken. Come, stand hy me" nnd reaching out his band he drew me to his side "and tell me sll the particulars of your. aftlaintBncT with Mis Montrose, and also about that sister with whom you are confpundod, and you" --turning to the othef ladies "are not to speak until he I through, when Ada can make sny correction or explanation necessary," It was ID act of Justice (whlch I owed to myself, I knew, and wiping my ,ye, I ws about to commence, when Ada, risiug up, said, mockingly, "With the honorable judge's permission I will leave, as I do not wish to hear the falsehoods wblch I stn sure will be uttered." In a firm, unfaltering manner I told both my story nd that of Anna, who, I said, hsd eloped with Herbert Langley and waa now a broken-hearted widow, living with his- mother In Boston. At ibis part of my narrative Ada's- land 1 w."

This I knew was false, but I did not contradict her, and proceeded with my story, until suddenly recolleoxing the in cident at the theater, I turned to Mr. Ielafield and asked "if he remembered it?" Ha thought a moment, and then the arm, which bad gradually been winding itself about my waist, clasped me to his side, while he exclaimed, "Remember it? Perfectly; and you are that little girl. They called you Rosa; and this is why your face has puzzled me so much. I see it all now. You are innocent, thank heaven!" and the hand which, heretofore, had held Ada fast, now rest ed caressingly upon my head and parted back my curls, as he said, more to him self than to me, "and you have remem bered me all this time." Then, turning toward Ada, he said, sternly, "We will hear you now." Ada was caught in her own snare. She had thought to prevent me from doing her injury by branding me as a liar, and now that I was proved inuocent it filled her with confusion, and she remain ed silent until Mrs. Lansing came to her aid by saying, -I do uot think Ada tneaut to do wrong; she probably mist'wk Rosa for her sister, hence the blunder." This gave Ada courage, and. crossing over to me, she took my hand, begging my forgiveness and saying "she had been mistaken she certainly did not mean to do me so great a wrong, and she hoped 1 would forget it and try to look upon her as my friend, for such she would henceforth be." During the progress of my etory Ada had alternately turned red and white, particularly at the point where I touch ed upon Herbert. Thi did not escape the observation of Mr, Delafield, and suspecting more than Ada thought he did, he half seriously, half playfully ask ed her "why she had evinced so much feeling whenever Mr. Langley' name was Mentioned. Instantly the color left her face, which wore a livid hue, and her hand went op to her side ns if the cause of her agita tiou were there, while with a half-stifled moan, she said, "Oh! oh! the pain!' Of course Mrs. Lansing- asked what she meant, and Ada, in answering her, managed to dwell so long upon "the hor rid pain, which she feared would become chronic," that Mr. Delafield could not reasonably expect an answer to his ques tion. Mill, 1 think he was not satis fied, and when I saw the mischievous look in his eye, as he told her "she must certainly be blistered," I fancied that he, too, understood her as I did. inai anernooti we were again assem bled upon the piazza Mrs. Lansing, Ada and myself the former nodding in her large willow chair, while the latter sat upon a little stool at my feet, and with her elbow upon my lap was looking up into my face with the childish simplicity she knew so well how to assume. She was just atking me to assure her again of my forgiveness, when Mr. Delafield joined us, and coming up behind me, lean ed over my chair, while he handed to Ada a little oblong package, saying, "I was in the village just after dinner, and seeing the doctor, I asked him about your pain. As I expected, he prescribed a blister, and at my request he prepared one, which you are to apply at night when you go to bed. I could not see him, but I absolutely pitied poor Ada, who began to realize that the way of the transgressor is :iar.1. The tear stiirted to her eyes, while with lok of dismay, she exclaimed, "Oh. Richard, bow could you? 1 never was listered in my life. It will kill me. I can't do it," ami she cried aloud. Very gently Mr. Delafield soothed her. telling her that so far from "killing her," it would certainly "cure her," he kii"w it would, and he insisted upon her trying it. At last, as an idea, perfectly lat um! under the cimcumstanccs, dawnd upon her mind, she looked up very sub missively at him and said, "To please you, I'll try it; though the remedy, I think, is worse than the disease." I hardly know whether he had any faith in her words I certainly had not, and when next morning she came down to breakfast in a loose wrapper, with a very languid look, I could not bring my self to ask her concerning the blister, which the livelong night had drawn nice ly on the back of the tireboard in her room. As I expected, Mr. Delafield soon made his appearance, and after inquiring how his prescription worked, and if it had pained her much, he said, looking toward neither of us, "How would you like to ride on horseback with me out to Mr. I'arker's plantation? I have busi ness there, and do not wish to go alone." "Oh. chnrniiiiK!" exelaiiut-d Ada, jump ing up and clapping her hand in a man ner but little suited to a blistered side; "that will be grand, and I can wear my t.ew riding dress, which fits so nicely." a "Why, Aila, what do you mean?" said Mr. Delafield, with great gravity. "My invitation was intended for Mi I.ee. You can't, if course, think of riding on horseback with a blister. You must have forgotten If," and his keen eyes rested upon her face with a deeper meaning than she could futhom. She turned very red, and for an in stant, I think, half resulfed to acknowl edge the deception she, was practicing. Hut Richard Delafield-was oiip who de spised a falsehood, and she dared not confess to him her error, so she turned awsy, saying with a feigned tndifTerence which illy accorded with the expression of her face, "Surely, I forgot all about It." Alone In her room.- however, she shed tear of anger and mortification as h saw n ride off together, and thought of the happiness from which she wa debar red by fancied blister, which had nev er come in contact with her flesh. But whether It drew upon her side or the fire board, It In a measure wrought the de sired cure, for seldom again did Adu tt tempt to, deceive her guardian, Would It not be w,'ell If more of our modern young ladies should lie blistered for the same disease that afflicted Ada Mon trose? CHAPTKK XVIII. Rapidly, and to me very happily, did the winter pass away, for It was enliv ened by the presence of Mr. De!nii"ld. who wa with us often, that it became at last a serious debate among the b!acki n to whether Cedar drove or M ig iolhi j Grove were really hli home. More than' i onv inn . i o in ,. -nJ once, too, waa it whispered In the Til-: i .. ...... - . f lage, that little Rosa Lee, plain and un-l assuming as she was, had stirred ia the heart of the "stern old bachelor" a far deeper feeling than Ada Montrose had ever been capable of awakening. And sometimes she, foolish child that she was, thought so too, not for anything he said, neither from anything which he did; in deed, It would have been hard for her to tell why her heart sometimes beat so fast when he was near. And still, occasionally, Rosa dared to hope that her love was returned, else wby did each diiy find him at her side, where he lingered so long, saying to her but little, but watching her movements, and listening to her words, as he would uot have done had she been to him an object of Indifference. Not nnturilly quick to read human nature. Mrs. Lan sing was wholly deceived by her broth er's cold exterior, and never dreaming how in secret he worshiped the humble girl she called her governess, she left them much together. Why, then, did he never speak to her of the passion which had become a part of his being? Simply because he too was deceived. Once, in deed, be had essayed to tell her of his love, and dreading lest his affection should not be returned, he was the more ready to construe her evasive replies into a belief that it was indeed as he feared. Then, too, her shy. reserved manner, while it made him prim her all the more, disheartened him; for not thus was he accustomed to being treated, and with that jealousy which seems to be the twin sister of love, he ofttimcs .thought be read an aversion and distrust, when there was, on Rosa's part, naught rave a fear lest he should discover her secret, and despise her for it. Added to this was the remembrance of what Ad had said concerning her former engagement with Dr Clayton. (To be continued.) NEW STORIES OF WELLINGTON. HelateU by a Physician Who Knew II iin in India, It In never too late to learn now things about a great tnau. The Duke of Wellington has been dead many years, yet the recently published "Au tobiography of Alexander Grant," friend and physician of the Marquis of I)Hllioule, ouco Oovenuir-tJeuera! of India, contains a number of new sto ries of the simplicity, charactorUtlc plain-speaking and indomitable mental courage of the hero of Waterloo. When the news of the bhMxly Battle, of I'erozeshah reached England there wan great consternation In the minis try. At best It was a drawn battle, and Kir Roliert I'eel was much de pressed. "You must lose officer and men If you have great battles," said the Duke of Wellington. "At Assays I lost a. third of my force." ' When the counell continued to con sider the battle a crushing reverse, Wellington lighted up suddenly. "Make It a victory!" said he. "Fire a salute and ring the bells." And so It was ordered and done; and the Imme diate heartening of the people proved the soundness of the old soldier's pol icy. When Lord Dalhousle waa about to go to India be begged tho Duke to recom mend for the personal stall any young officer In whom be felt an Interest He, stoutly refused. "I would as soon recommend a wife for a nuui as an A. D. C," said he. In 1824 the cabinet, when It found Itself committed to war with the King of Burma, asked the Duke of Welling ton for his advice. He replied at once. bluntly, ".Send Lord Combennere." 'Hut we have always understood that your grace thought Lord Com-Ix-rmere a fool." "So he Is a fool an utter fool; but he can take Rangoon." When the Duke of Wellington was warden of the Cinque Pons the queen, went to W'almer Castle for change of air. The clerk of the works preceded her majesty and made some tawdry repairs, at which the Duke was great ly displeased. When the queen went to Strathfieldsaye the same clerk of works preceded her. Hut' here, in his own home, the Duke was beforehand with him and ordered him off. No alterations were made. The Duke said, "I Just got a few tables and a barplschord, and I asked tho neigh lior to meet her." This was so much out of the routine t grand preparations and grand guests that ber majesty was much pleased. The Chinese Itcllc.
