"1 could wish you vet r in a botie

"It is my highest ambition, Miss
Conway." There w s nothing in the
words, but the meaning, lone, and a
low bow gave them point. Aland bit
her lips, ami Gerald threw down the
racket, his face a little sterner than
before. She turned to him, an i ngry
glitter in the iolet eyes:
4 Your p!ay has been wretched, Mr.
Sorthwick; it was never wor.e. Fo:

his head away, lest resolution should
fail. Hij tone is low, but full of
fierce, suppressed energy:
Ton have not payed with my love

what it is. It comes between me and
all other chanc e of happiness."
lie pauses a few seconds, wherein
s e plucks a wild-tlower, and picks it
to pieces. Sweet and pensive she looks
now, and uiiwoutediy thoughtful; but
his eyes are on the distant hills.
"From time to time, w lien I would

it was your nature, and I did not mind,

"Fortune-hunters, till of them," she
broke in.
"Possibly," and his proud head was
thrown back a little. "1 am free from
that imputation. Rich as you are, Miss
Conway, the ISortiiwicks of sorihuick
are richer.''
It was true as she km w will. Gen
eral So. tlnvi.-k, the elder, had the rep

only son.
"it is time the farce were ended," l.e
continued, "i have been too long the
willing slave of y ur caprice. It is not
lit'ing the w oman I honor above all the
world should be on terms of free and
easy intimacy with such a man as
Captain Hall."
A contemptuous curl of the lip
emphasized the woids.
Maud started as though they had
stung her, her hasty temper iu arms
immediately.
"l!y what right do you venture to
criticise my friendship, sir?"
"Vou shall give me the right," he re
o'med, I otlv . "or from this day I will
never willingly touch your hand nor

that beside such love as mine? Choose

This desperate earnestness almost

a mocking curtsey.

"For the I st time,"' said Gerall

walked away. She heard a horse's

"No-no what is i:?"

and would have fallen, but that the o d

Ml very moonlight. Hooting a iarm
house, and an unusually large garden
appertaining thereto. Up and down
the gravelled walk paces Gerald Sorth
wick, moodily smoking it fragram
cigar. Ou the air is borne a soti'id its
of an irregular bass solo, varied by the
occasional squeak of shriller stringed
instruments.
It denotes that half a mile off, in the
little town of Sorthwick, an archery
ball is now being held. The commit
lee, in view of h s father's recent death
and his own social ruin, had decided
not to send the customary reminder;
but Gerald, with a poor man's morbid
sensitiveness, misinterprets the kind
ness. With an impatient movement,
expressive of disgust, he tosses awav
the half-smoked cigar. It alights on
the soft tin of a small croquet-ground,
and li s smoking. Then, with a curi
ous smile, he crosses and picks it up
caret ully.
"1 had forgotten myself," he mut
ters; "the last of the box, and a brand
I am not iikely to tas.e yet awl. He."
So, with the cigar between his teeth,
he passes through the ga c, and across
green meadowlaud towards the town.
The music grows distinct as he ap
proaches. "1 think I am wise," he reflects bit
terly. "To-morrow by this "time I shah
have left the old life quite behind me.
Gerald Sorthwick, tea-trader, China.
Vague, that, and it is about all I know;
but I shall be better out there. The
old position, i it .its, instincts, reminis
c nees, would be:o many dead weights
in England."
A wealthy tradesman pisses him,
and touches his hat. Gent I I acknowl
edges the courtesy wi li that marked
politeness which has ever won him
popu'ai'ity with his social inferiors, but
the incident re-4 wakens latent cyni
cism. "How long wc hat hist?" he won
ders. "Foi merl . t meant you are my
patron, ten times richer than I. Now
it should be for me to doff the hat in
greeting."
The cigar burns close to his lips; he
spits it out and hesitates.
'I must see her face once," lie
groans, "my vow notwithstanding;"
and aS the church clock strikes ten he
stands in the black shadow of some
trees, looking across a bowling-green
at the great doots of the Assembly
rooms, to which heated couples come
from time to tin to inhale the soft,
pure air, and perhaps draw inspiration
from the moonlight. At length he
sees her, leaning on Captain Hall's arm
and laughing gaily.
A bitter imprecation lis s to his lips
but he. suppresses it. "Are you con
tent now, s upidV" he as' s hiuself.
A bird twitters on a bough near him,
and by force of subtle associaf on, iu
straige mockery, the recolhcton
comes how he had once startled Maud
by u pcifegt imitati ;n c-E Ler dove's
cooing; it was when they wi re most
fri. ndly, before Captain Hall's advent.
"It shall he your signal when you
want me, and I am talking t disagree
ib e people," sdie had said. He won-
' deicd whether she w ould remember the
inciden.. stud a wish g.tu upon him to
try ihe experiment.
They had ceased t dking, Man 1 and
her partner, and were gazing storM
towards him; but lher.j was s iH i. i
Ihe shadow, hf V "iev
"Coj-o-oI" A soft note, tiii'lco re
peated. lie saw Maud start violen'ly, and
tremble. Captain Hall t ought it was
with cold.
"The night air is too chill," hes iid;
'let in return."
"No, 1 cannot leave Ihe moonlight;
but you may feleh 013' wrapper, if you
wih be so good "
The watcher beneath the trees :a
him vanish; saw Maud's g'oved hand
pies ed to her heart, as tnotih to siil'
its beating. Then he marveled for a
moment whether sight were playing
h 111 false, for a white figure glided to
wards him through the moonlight,
heedlessof the dew t'.at soaked (lowing
robes and satin slippers.
Gerald!" it ciicd, -
lie drew her into the shad w.
'ray good by lo me, Maud." There
was it queer tremor in the o.ee.
"Good-by?'' she asked, woiidei ingly.
"1 leave England to-morrow. Will
you not bid me g od-by my .o.st darl
ing?'' C-iplaiu Hall appeared in the door
way al that instint, searching iu great
astonishment for his partner; but t iey
were happily unconscious of the fact,
for two bare arms were around Ger
ald's neck, and a sweet voice was whis
pering; "Live love will you not ttay. for
mv s ike.-"'
So it Ciimo to pass, that "Gerald
Sorlhw ich.te.i-trader, China,'' remained
.1 myth only.
Gritnty's Funeral.
Grunty was dead; the children were
quit'i sure of that, so they thought he
must h ve a funeral.
"An I we'10 going to dig the grave
very d-ep. Aunt Jennie," paid Lillie,
her brown eyes dancing wiili fun, "an I
we Wiinl you to come to the funeral.
We are going to bury him with hon
ors."
'Well. I'll be there, Lillie. Need 1
bring an ex'ra pocket handkerchief ?'
"O, no, indeed," said Lillie, "only
bring a pocket full of rocks-.''
"A pocket full of rocks? Whit do
you mean, child.-' ' I asked iu surprise.
"O," said Lillie, coolly, 4 you'll find
out when you get l here, it is to he at
two o'clock, mind, aunty, iic.;r, jusi
after dinner."
When I got to the "ftmril,"' as little
Ned called it. the childieu stood h s de
an irregu ar hole in the ground, about I
a foot deep. It was hi the inai-l'e ol !
the garden, because the cai ( t w s soft i

lay the lite shovel, an i on spoon ti.t

"Now, Aunt Jennie,' said l ee its
came up, trying to look pn-p r!y a
emu, you are lo U'al G.u ily sr. ol
us."
"Out of all t.f. yon? I crhaps you
mean Grunty and his family, lor if he
is dead, he cannot go hopping about
dow n the throats of first o e an I I hen
another."
"O. but he's a fairy, Aunt Jennie,1'
paid lianuie.
"Yes, he' divides himself up in'o as
m ny pieces or persons as mere sire
children," explain. d Lillie, "and then
hops down every s ng!c child's throat,
and sometimes ho hollers, and some
times yells, and criej, and O, just every
thing." "iiut how do you know he is dead?"
I asked.
"O, we choked him to death," said
Lee.
"I killed him wid c unly,'' sai I Uan-
1110.
"Well, children," said I, "if you are
quile sure this oil wicked fairy is
dead, I'll elm k hiiu out the best 1
can."
1 then began on Lillie, who was the
oldest, and who I knew would not cry.
She stood over Gruuty's grave, and
held her moulh wide open, 1 beat her
on the back till she choked.
,4i'heie," said she, "Grunty s out of
me.
Then it was Lee's turn, and then
Dannie's, and last of all dear little baby
Ned's, who got a ery small beating
indeed.
'Now," said Lee, w ith a sigh of re
lief, "old Grunty is dead and in his
grave, and we'll cover him up. Where's
your rocks, Aunt Jennie?"
"There! I forget ail about them,"
said I, "but I'll get a few brickbats
icross the garden. Will that dor"
4 O, yes, very well," they all said.
Then we all went lo work, pitching
in stones, and brickbats, and da t, lid
we had quite a monument raised over
ld Grunty, who had disturbed in all
so much. Then Ave went back t ) the
house and 1 painted on a little board
these words, for an epitaph:
"Here L;es
Grunt Grumble Growl,'
Killed by four little children, to deliver
the children of the world from
his cruel oppression."
