iKATHLELiT’S LOVE-STO-I HY- ■ BY THE At THOR OF "THE MODERN SiK LAUNC LOT.” CHAPTER XL AH the next <la’ he was in his studio, busy, adding the finishing tsueb.s to * picture ; and as at such times he never left his work, he heard nothing more «f - his sister's arrangements. But when at night, after laying everything aside, - he was coming down te the narlor, he met Mrs. Armadale desr-eiiding fr.tn the aursery. with the little, pink fsced bundh of vbite lawn and lae<-ia her arn r. wliich alwav ■ suggested baby, and she stopped him <_n the lauding with a delightful fare. ■‘Areyou coiuinginlo the parlor, new ? 1 hope so. She has come. Carl, and I like berexerso atuch.- I know we shall be good friends. Carl smiled, lie knew it- weuld be the stranger's fault if they were not. The idea of Barbara's not being good . friends with any body was rathera joke She had such a habit of purring, and e.oing, at:d petting that eot the most stony of stony heatts eould have resisted her. Carl followed her down stairs, and 011 the way she dilat-d eloquently on her new acquaintance. The new gOTsritess was so elegant and to beautiful. aud “oh, Carl so sweat.” Mrs. Armadale wss sure she should lots her like » sister. The new gev ernsss had won the children's hearts at first, and Mrs. Armadale was just bringing baby down to be exhibited. “Y.u sea." went on 'he kind-hearted little matron, “I want to make her feel at home. Carl. She seems so lonely | She has neither mother, tier father, uer relations of atty kind. The aunt, who . had educated her, has been dead only a few months. Os course, one can t ask questions, but 1 am sure she ia a gentlewoman born. She is so aristo- . cratie-looking. "What is her name ? ' asked Carl. : “Have Jeu found that out yet, or did you engage her on the strength of her aristeeraey ? • “No,” laughed Mrs. Artradale, settling baby’s flowing tebes preparatory! to entering the parlor. "I >m wiser I than Alf. Her name is as aristocratic as her face. Daveuart, — Kate Dave nant. Ain't it pretty ? Openthedoor, lipleaee.” Andas Carl bout over hsr. 1 and turned the handle, a sweet, low 1 ripple of laughter came upon them, and they stepped into the room. Some one sat beside the fire, in aa easy ehair, talking te Mr. Armendale, - who was listening, with entranced ’ pleasure showing itself on every feature. t> The back es the ehair was l imed toward the door, but Carl eould see the folds of a Mask dress lying upon the earpet, 1 and a close-fitting sleeve setting off a smooth, round wrist and slender hand. r which rested upon the chair-arm. t At the sound of the dour opening the . lady looked up, and Barbara came forf ward into the light of the fire with , baoy. p “My brother, Mr. Seymour, Mias Davenant,” she said, smiling. “And here is bsby ” Miss Davenant rose in the firelight, ' the crimson glow falling full upon Iter, apen the tr iling folds of the black ' r L - I i. dress sweeping upon the oarpet with the old royal sweep of the Circe s robes, upon the erown of glinting brown hair. “ with its metallic she-n, upon the -Val- .' Here" face, and the winy purple of the ' eyes that met Carl Seymour's. Just a x glanee from either face, an 1 these two who hid loved each other once, whose d lives seemed linked together, met with I a ealm bow as strangers, not touching bauds, hardly smiling, unless the half p sneer on the man s face could be called ' a smile. “And this is baby?" said Miss Davenant, turning to the lawn and lace " in Mrs. Armadale's arms. “Is baby ,1 one of my pupils ? > It was a serene face that smiled the eld, sweet smile over Barbara's trees- '*■ ure—a face much more serene than Carl Seymour s. He had turned away tl with a bitter smile by no uoans ploasant te see. And so Mrs. Crozier was ty not Miss Davenant, and this girl bad j\ crossed his path again ? To think that such a woman should live in innocent Barbara s home and '• have the care of innocent Barbara » u children! As he watched her bend over and kiss the baby lips, he felt a II thrill of anger. There was all the old v S race * n ev,r J movement, all the old it, in the perfect face, but *’ their charm was lost to Carl. If ho ■ot 4; had known all he might not have been so harsh. Knowing only what he did iw, that she had p.oved false and mercenary, and had been his ruin—there was [TR nothing, nothing of forgiveness or reV leutint in his miod. rw Innocent Barbara was in a seventh heaven of good natureo delight *'li;s 'oo c • ’ k 1 Ih-i girl so ardently appreciated baby. *' W hen at last Miss Darenant acceded ' to All's request anu went to the piano t

, ! the little lady drew her chair t< her brother's side “Did you ever see such a curiom ; cf'iucideoce, Car] ? That I.a Tallinn and Kathleen Mavourueeu. arc tin very reproductions of her faee. Is it possible that you have ever met het ' before ? ’ “It is a roiucidence I canuotaee.eunl for," said that gentkniaii briefly.. "1 can hardly believe it. but this Mis,Davenant of yours is the young lady who was pointed out to me at Newport as Mr. Crozier's future wife, anti until I saw her to night. I imagined she was the Mrs. Crczi- r yeti met at SaraI “You don't suy so? Ob. no! My j Mrs. Crozier was a little, brown-haired woman with > harrassed face and a scared expression. ,s unlike Mis> Davenant as it ie possible for two women to be. The engagement must hive been broken. A\ ha a voice she has ! Do listen to her ? She was singing a little song she had snug for Carl a hundred times before. A .-panish love-song with an accompaniment like running water, and a faint throb of pain threading through it. Carl did net like to hear it now He would gladly have closed his ears te it and yet he must sit and listen to the end, and hear Barbara's ecsta ic choreus of “Beautiful.” But at length baby fell asleep, and Barbara carried him to the nursery, and a few minut s after sent for Alf t« come up stairs. AH' made his excuses and went. It was possible that Johnny had a cough, or Clara s face was flushed, and under such circumstances a grave consultation must be held. After he had left them, Kate rose from her seat at the piano and came to the fire, It wis not a pleasant situation to be iu, but she carried herself gracefully and calmly as usual. Carl looked at het from head to foet. Faded and worn ! Twenty years would : hardly chauge her. Every tint on her delicate skin was rarely vivid and firm as the rose and pearl of a sea-shell. Just aa much the Circe now, when she was only Mrs. Armadale's governess, as when she bad been in Mrs. Montgomery's charge, and the belle of Newpert. “I had uo idea —” she began, and then faltered a little under his cold i eyes and stepped. “Nor had I,” was the icy reply. “I wonder if either of us are very agrees bly sutprised." The color ran up on her face, but the eyes turned toward him showing ! but calm, w< 11-bred surprise at his sarI castic bitterness. His love had been I worse than indifference, for it had rob- : bed her of his respect. He was almost savage in his cynicism, and he had so far lost his reverease for her that he forgot himself, and fdt as though there w »ul<l be some merited revenge in baffling her proud statelin*-- with scorn. But this was not an easy mat- , ter. • I anti afraid not,” she said, in an« wer to his carcastn But Ido not see how we—how I at least ean -help it. If I had known. I certainly should not have come here. As it is. unless you tell Mrs. Armadale to send me away, I suppose I shall have to bear my share of the unpleasantness. It was very quietly said, almost meekly indeed, but the words and tone stung him to the quick. It was a hard task to abuse a woman who was at his mercy, and yet showed that she felt no fear, even while she knew her helplessness. “Tell Mrs. Armadale to send you away!" he sneered. “Do you think lam a brute ? My experience has not made me a very good man, or a verychivalrous one. You see I have outlived my tender belief in ministering angels, etc ; and I am not very polite jto women whom I neither love nor respeet. I told you I weuld never forI give you, and I never will. You havt made me what 1 am, but as for the rest ” He stopped and shrugged his shoul ders contemptuously. 5 j Kate Davenent took one step nearei and looked at him fearlessly. She ha j got over the time when his liars ] words had made het faint at his fee , and his a) nost insulting, all j iite ur j manly tone roused her. It was a ho: , ribly bitter thing to hear him speak < ] women whom he neither love ! nor ri j spected, but her indignation helps t her to bear it. e “I am very poor, Mr Seymour. .*1: u said clearly and steadily. "I have not d friend or protector in the world. lat .. a menial in your house, and I suppos x lam at your mercy : but I have nt .. asked you tn forgive me yet. Whe I ask yau, it will time to refuse pardo |j not till then.” g For the first time in three years h felt as though he ought to respect th ] girl.

Then she seated herseif, aril taking up Barbara s neglected tatting, began to work ■ industriously. Mr. Seymour had not • shaken her self possession in the least. There wrs no trace of either anger or irritation in her face, and when Mrs. I Armadale returned Kate was still employing herself with the flying shuttle, I with an appearance of ease and pleas- • ure, which delighted the young matron i immensely. The next day the children were tak- ' en in hand. Johnny, the youngest pu- : l pil was a blue-eyed urchin, with a won- ’ ; derful good-aature. and gravity that made him, in a small way, quiteachar- ! acter. After a few minute's calm inl ' spectiou with his hands clasped behind 1 his back, he made an unconditional surrender to Miss Davenant'a witchery, and said his lessons, gazing fixedly and wonderingly at her beautiful face. One ! glance won graceful, quiet little Clara, t She was a second Barbara, with all her ? mother’s innate refinement and pas- ' . sionate admiration of beauty. From 1 the date of the first kiss Miss Daven- ■ ant reigned supreme. t i Mrs. Armadale, as 1 have said before ’ was not curious, but it must be admit- ' ted the new governess interested her 1 deeply. Hon in the world could the ' belle of Newport have fallen into this 1 position ? But Carl was strangely ' reticent on the subject. He only spoke of her as an acquaintance by reputation. and never hinted that ho had ‘ spoken to her before. Besides, he did f not seem at all anxious to pursue the ’ subject, indeed, once or twice she fan--1 eied that he avoided it. , It was not often that Mrs Armadale ?. looked troubled, but troubled she certainly looked, when she came into the school to Kate, one morning, a month - or so after the arrival of the g«yer--1 i ness. • “I don't know what te do, Kate.’ > she said after the children were sent ’ down stairs “Mr. Armadale says it :is absolutely imperative that 1 should ; 1 go to New Orleans with him. There I ‘ has been some trouble about the propt erty there, whish Clara's grandmother f left her, and my presence is necessary. ' It seems I must sign something. How g can I leave the children? Baby is not e well and both Johnny and Clara are “ ailing. I shall be perfectly miserable -- though, of course I won’t say so to e Alf. Besides it will be so unpleasant ie for you. Kate had not meant to be selfish, 1- but, honestly, the first idea that had suggested itself to her was the unpleas■r. ant position she would necesid sarily be thrown into. But Barbara’s sh evident anxiety roused her sympath?t, * ies. n- “You have no need to be anxious,” >r- she said, cheerfully. “Aunt Dorcas if of r< liable, I think, and though lam not re- a very good nu'se, I will try to lake ed care of the children.” < “I am sure you will do that, anshe wered Barbara, her face clearing sbghta ly. “But lam afraid it will be so im much trouble ; and then Clara is so se delicate that 1 am always anxious if ot there is a tinge too much er too little e» on her cheeks 1 wish—l do wish the an journey was not so positively neces sary.” f he It required all Kate's power's o lit eonsolation to reassure her; but at las i d she became somewhat less fearful. he “But if any of them should be tai

Since the first evening, she had hardly enee seen her antagonist alone. When they had met they had barely exchanged civilities. How would tete-a-tete dinners and breakfasts pass eff fur uci’.-.-sarily Miss Darenant must take the place Mrs. Armadale had vacated. In spite of her discomfort, she eou'd not helpi smiling as she thought ofit. Well, there was only one part which could be acted, and that involved perfect, well-bred calmness. Since she must meet him. and play the part us mistress of the household, it should be done gracefully, and without her manner indicating that anything had occurred to make the position other than a pleasant one. Nevertheless, she felt it would need all her self-pos-session and self-knowledge to earry her through. Ths day was a busy one, and rather unsettled by the preparations for the journey; but at last the bustle was over, and the carriage containing Mrs. Armadale was driven away, with that anxious young m. trsn s face showing itself at the window, in a rather dubiously cheerful farewell to the children. When it was on of sight, Kate took Johnny and Clai by the hand, and led them into the p irlor. It had been one f those chilly, gray days, with which lie early part of autumn is occasional ntersporsed,and a fire had been in re room all day. and bv ibis fire Mr. Seymour was seated as they entered. He had noi, expected their coming, it was very plain ; but Kate led her young charges to the hearth with calmest of faces. “The children will take tea with us to-night, if you have no objection, Mr. Seymour,” she said, serenely, as she rested her a ehed-foot on the fender to warm. "I thought they might possibly feel lonely. Perhaps he was a little more mercifully inclined than usual; at all events, he took her exease as calmly as it was given. His quiet reply was quite a relief to Kate, for. to tell the truth, her courage had oozed out at hsr fingerends, when she first observed his presence. So far so good. At least the enemy had acknowledged the flag of truce. She took a seat opposite to him and began to talk easily as she worked upon Mrs. Armadale's tatting. Mrs. Armadale had said she w. uld, probably, be absent two weeks : did he think it probable her stay would be piolonged Mr. Seymour thought; it just possible Ah ! that was a pity —she had been so anxious about the children. Barbara always was anxious about the children, was the gentleman’s reply; and by this time his book lay upon his knee, halfclosed upon his shapely hand, and he was watching Miss Davenaut’s slim, pointed fingers, as they flew back and forth with the little pearl shuttle. She knew he was looking at her, and the knowledge was not pleasant. Nev- ■ ertheless. she did not care to look up. j and so went en quietly. ■’You were reading when weeameia,' with a faint smile. “Don't let us dis turb you. The children will be quiet.’ “Thank you !” he said, as serenely yet with a keen scrutiny in his haughty ! handsome eyes. “There is nu fear o 3 disturbance.

For the first time, in the evening, the red shot warmly to her very forehead, and she bent over her work te hide it. 11 a read on for an hour, passing frou one poem te another, herdly looking up from the book, and seeming all the time to be acting from •■’ sense of sold p diteness.
