DECATUR, ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, JAN. 6, 1881.

KATHLEEN’S WE-STO-BY THE AUTHOR 01 ‘THE MODERN SIR LAUNCLLOT.” CHAPTERJCVI. “ror both at once. The riches ar* to buy the 1a; pv- ■. you know. How ■ I £ get for twenty thousand dollars, I wonder ? ’ “A great deal, I hope,” he answered her. “I congratulate you with all my heart, Miss Davenant.” She went out of the room directly afterward, and the last glimpse that he eaught of hor face, as she closed the door, showed him the faint smile lying round h*r lips still ; but when she stood Wi the hall alone it faded, and the l.ght of the swinging lamp s’v/iit a little through the mists over her eyes, ! and when she went slowly up the broad , stair-case it was gone entirely, and there was nothing but a faint curve upon the red mouth. It seemed as if Barbara’s presence acted upon her children like a spell, for, from the time she kissed and cried over them, they recovered gradually. “But how can 1 ever thank Kate ?” aid Barbara to in ■ hus’.ai. 1 and Mr. Seymour. “Dorcas says she never left them for an hour ; and Dr. Chalonor told me that she saved baby just with her never-tiring care. It is so odd how naturally a woman loves children ; but then Kate is so good.” And even during the recovery Kate's goodness did not diminish. She would st :y with Mrs. Arm.'.dalo until everythin . was arra geo. she said ; and then, when th. invalids were Letter, they must come and help her to take possession of her own country seat. “You must get married,” said Alf. “You ought to be married, Miss Davenant.” She laughed at him with brilliant cheeks, and lifted her arched brown brows. -Ought 1 Why, Mr. Armadale ? Do I need somebody to manage me, or somebody to manage ?” “You need both,' laughed Alf. “You have relied upon yourself too long, and you want a m ister 1"

Mr. Seymour did ; y very mu di Lu, sp?axii:g t» his jMing la y j who “iieedeu a paster,” was not cor - sortable in his presence. Her delicate skin had a trick of flaming suddenly and hotly under his glance, and her j eyelids were too apt to lower and dr< -p when he spoke : bo, whenever it v s possible, she kept out of his way. To- ‘ ward him sue was brilliant, and dazzling, and fascinating ; just as she Lad been at Newport, only now holding her heart in a leash with something of ■/lame. He loved her, she knew ;ho Kid not forgiven her, she thought ; he could not respect her, she was sure ; accordingly, she must sneer herself down, and so she tried hard to do it—with just such success as might be expected. One day he actually went into her room snd lighted a wax-taper so that -he might burn the souvenirs in her i 1./sk. And when she had taken them out and looked at them, (she did not attempt to read them) guess what she did? .■he bent over them with flaming cheeks, almost unconsciously, lower, lower, until her soft lips touched a card with Carl’s name written upon it, and . then she started back and pushed : them aside angrily and crushed them I together, and locked tlieiu in the drawer again, and after blowing out the taper left the room. She dare not do it. i She had found her master, and now, after conquering and scorning others, had come to the bitter sense of scorning herself. It was a month before the business was fa-rly settled, and by that time Kate said she was tired of it. Davenant Place was ready for her ‘ reception, wrote the late owner's stew- ; ard, and many thing-' required her presence there. Did she want the green-houses kept up ? What was to ' be dene wi.h lie b.orse: ? • T •v : i I ->r ■“ d j ’ T r. A ; her fingers, i-.ud shruggi :g hor graceful ■ shoulders, and accordingly she began 'to make her preparations. Was she i sorry ? She said to Mrs Armadale ' when that lady talked to her about h r i prospects, she said so to Mr. Armada; j ; I she said so to the children, who were i now convalescent. Si r did not say so to Carl. She told him she was going and laughed a little, triumphant laugh, as though she enjoyed her power in prospective. She was sitting in the parlor leaning back in the very ; chair she had sat iu the first evening of her arrival, and her fair hands were crossed illy on her lap, when they talked about it first. ' “I am glad,” she said. ‘ I wanted the money and I have got it. I love Mrs. Armadale and 1 love the children but I did not want to be a governess all my life. Wa» that wrong ?” she

I asked, with a sudden bright lifting ? of her face to his, which was just such I an audacious piece of acting as no other woman would have dared, for all the while she was faint and sick at heart. No, he thought not. How could it ■be wrong ? And then ho looked at her, an. i--r check, grew hot, and she | wa: fain to turn Lis head away. She was not going to be a belle, she j told Mrs. Armadale, she was going to bo Lady Bountiful, and nurse the sick and make flannel nightcaps for rheui matio pensioners, so her preparations i need not be extensive, and, besides, she wanted to make the most of her time. So, when her trunks were packed, she nursed baby and talked nontense to him, and told Johnny stories, I and sung little song* for Clara, generally ending with a faint mist over her eyes. Aad Carl, sitting in hij studio, heard her sri/et tol. o in the nursery, and the rustle of her robes in the passage, and having heard, flung his brush aside and hid his face upon his folded arms with a bitter pang. “It might have been I" he said. “Ah Kathleen Mavourneen ! Mavourueeu! Il w they would miss her. They all found it out, and talked about it, and, listening to them, he wakened to the stern truth that lie loved her still, and should miss her, too ; and when she was gone the whole house would seem lonely to her. As for her, she was almost glad that! the time had come when the ghosts mig' ba exercised. She grew fever-! ish i id impatient, and sometimes waken 1 at eight, st:., tied and nervous, and lay sleepless, wondering wearily ‘ how long her life would be and if there would come no change in it, and if she would live and grow old a rich, lonely woman to the end. She would try to be kind, she thought vaguely and Barbara and Barbara’s children should come and stay with her, and she would help them to enjoy their innocent lives with her grand, lonely house, and her riches. And then she supposed she would

get old and faded, and there would be ati end of lifa at last. But in some wa; . ; : .■ re' vst this inclusion (be- - ■ ’ ■ “ " ”7 f >rg</lier p’.i .. pry, a; d felt impatient, even while she did not allow herself to ask what the impatience meant.

About three nights before their expected separation, Mrs. Armadale’s governess came into the nursery for a, final chat. Every one had retired, and after undressing to go to bed, Miss Davenant catuc into the room. A large, soft-looking scarlet shawl was wrapped round her whick was by no means brighfer-colored than her soft cheeks, ami she had loosened her hair and wa* going to fasten it up for tho night. “I wanted to talk a little,” she said with a sigh ; so she seated herself on a low chair by the fire. “I—l don't know quite how it is. but I feel rather egotistical to-night. I want to talk about mys.'l7 “Then talk, please,” said Mrs. Armadale. “I am sure I shall be glad to hear it. VI al is i> ?” There was a short silence, in which Miss Davenant twisted a great shining roll of hair round her fingers, and looked into the fire meditatively. “I don't know,” she said at last with ‘ a soft little laugh, that sounded like a soft li .Jo sob. “I wmder if you could tell : .M s. I'uiadde.'* Hu'.ara’e eyes were raised slowly, iiinl fixed with a keen inquiry on the fair face. “Kate, my dear," she said in her as- 1 fectionate voice. “I think yoq can tell best yourself.'' Kate glanced up quickly. “You remember what I told you once before,” she said. “I mentioned , no names, for I could not betray others. Well, it is the same story over again lam tired of myself. I don’t know what to do with myself.” Barb tra laid her hand upon the 'HI*; 1 . . ' ■ I g • ' se,” she said, softly. “You told me that you i had d"ne a great wrong in doing what ; you did ; you said you had loved the I man you wronged better than any one ’ else Is it quite out of your power to repair the wrong you did ?” b:e did not answer at first. Her i heart i -at fast ami impaii- ntly. “I never can repair it." she said, lacing the heavy scarlet li'inge o! her ’ shawl through her fingers. “A woman ni.'iV not speak as a man does. Because I am a woman I must keep my penitence to myself. I am unhappy, and I must profess to be happy. What a life we women lead I" “You said your romance ended four years ago." ‘ When—when you were at Newport?” “Yes.” Both paiis of eyes rose softly and

met with a flash, then on* pair drooped and Kate turned her head away. Il was some minutes before they spoke again, and then the conversation seemed to flag a little. Barbara’s heart was full to the brim. Just the one quick upward glance had told her all, and there s . >rned nothing 1:to 1/. Still the clock ,?lfuel, twelve before they separated. As the last chime rung out upon the stillness, Miss Davenant rose from her seat and wound the scarlet shawl round her white-robed form. Then she stopped before Mrs. Armadale a trifle hesitatingly. “I want to say something to you before I go away,” she said in alow voice. “I want to thank you for somet/ing. Mrs. Armadale when I came here first 1 was bitter, and worldly ard disappointed. I had met with nothing but selfishness and scheming—and 1 was selfish and scheming myself. I don’t think I had seen the fair side of life. 1 did not expect to be happy I only expected to earn my salary as a servant, and hold my own because my pride helped me. 1 had no mother to take care of me,” her voice faltered a little, “and so I was obliged to take care of myself. But when I came here it seemed as if my eyes were opened. You were happy and your husband was happy, and so were your children ; and yet, when you married Mr. Armadale, you had forgotten everything but that you loved him. lam twenty-three years old, Mrs. Armadale,” her voice drooped and broke down into a tremor of passionate sobs. “I am twentythree years old, and you are the first oman that has loved me and kissed me because I was a girl and lonely. I shall never forget it—l never can forget it. Y’ou have shown me how happy a good woman can be. I want to thank you for being kind to me.” Both Barbara's arms were folded round her, and Barbara's soft cheeks were pressed against hers. It seemed as if the loving little creature's heart was full almost to breaking.

“Oh, my dear 1” she said, between her kindly kisses, “if 1 have ever made you feel less lonely, how happy I am ' I loved you always fro/: t’ first, and I . c.’ to think ol you . , if ■ u had been my own little Clara grown into a woman. I hope you will be happy and I think yOB will. In the end. perhaps I shall see you some good mail’s wife i loving your husband and loving your children, and thanking God. I hope I shall, my dear, I hope I shall !” And she held the fair face a little from her ; and kissed it again and again. The next day passed quietly, one might say dully, and at last when evening came, Mr. Armadale and his wife and Carl and Kate were in the parlor talking by the firelight. “Don't let us have any other light,” ! said Miss Davenant, “Darkness suits my mood this evening.” She was restless and excited, Barbara had never saw her so brilliant before, and looked at her scarlet cheeks uneasily. She sat in the red glow of the fire talking to them just as she only con’d talk, flinging out flashes of graceful ! nonsense and wit that were almost ' dazzling. There was a vein of sarcasm through it all that was bewitching in spite of its being sarcasm, and she looked so like the Circe, with her deli-

cate flushes and great, purple eyes, her soft voice and her wonderful smile, •/. it Carl found himself startled and i 'i-tening to her with something like- a ! pang.’ She sneered ■ little, half as chough she was in jest, at h; r experi- | encc and she was not afraid to laugh, j as she acknowledged how the world had cheated her. It was late when they retired, at least all, to speak correctly but Carl, who, left to himself nearer to the fire and bent over it, pondering in dead silence. She was going away to-morrow ■ and then all would be over. The pictured face up stairs had smiled upon i him from its frame as he had went out i : of the door, and there was a fancy now in his mind now tha’ h l * -v • ’ bile j the pictures out of sight, mi leave liii i home to Barbara and her childrjn. and i go away te try ar.d try and fill his life j ■ with travel, and hard work, The sight 3i of Kate sweet face had tort, urotl him j I but the loss of it would drive him near ly mad. r| He had been sitting alone half an s hour with these thoughts making thetnJ selves half distinct to his mind, wl-?n : heard some one coming down «t r.s i j softly, and then the door swung open. ■ snd Miss Davenant entered, evidently • thinking the room unoccupied. She , had come down on an unexpected er rand it appeared. The scarlet had left her cheeks and in contrast with the l heavy sombreness of her dark, sweep ! lug purple, she looked wonderfully like the marble Clytie in her wonderful whiteness. She came to the table, and aftei 1 some searching took up a little volume

and then it was that she caught sight of Carl and turned round. ‘‘l beg your pardon,’ nhc said with a slight start. “I 4id not expect to find any one here. I came for a book I left.” She approached the hearth as she spoke, evi ntly with Somerhiug of an effort to retain her st It•> osw-siou, and as the red light struck upon her he saw there were faint shadows round her eyes, and aheavinessof tears round her lashes. “The book is an old favorite of mine,” she said, “and as I was locking my trunks I missed it. I leave tomorrow, you know.” “So soon,” he asked ; and then, as if unconsciously, extended his hand for the book. It was a pretty edition of Longfellow’s Evangeline, and he had read extracts from this same volume to her at Newport. One day he remembered —how could he forget ’—they had walked to the Spouting Rock together, and talked, as a man and woman will talk, about the heroine’s "fidelity, and now he thought he could almost see her face again, as she smiled and told him that none but a woman could have been so true, lie hardly knew why, but he began to turn over the pages slowly, with a half defined wish to find the extract he had read. There was a moment of silence after he had said “so soon,” but at last ■ it was broken by a restless movement on Kate’s part, and he looked up at her. She was haughty, and, perhaps, a thought cold, but if she could have und :ir the past, she would have done it ; and now, as they must part, it might be forever, she wanted to make him what reparation she could. She had defied him before and tried to humiliate him, and her worldly experience taught her that a man’s worst j grief is his humiliation, and so she | tried to make hi. somewhat less bitter j and complete. If she had been only: Mrs. Armadale’s governess, the words would never ha. ■ been spoken; but. now she was free to dare to say them, and he could not see more in them . than a proud woman humbled a little

through her very pride's intensity. "Yes,” she said, iu a j..w voice, “I am going away to-moir ..,. We have not been very good friends while we have been together, Mr. Seymour, but I don't want to leave an enemy behind me. I did you a great wrong four years ago, and —and I deserve any bitter thought you may have of me. I wanted to say this to you before I go away, because —because—because”

Her voice faltered—shook — stopi ped. Carl bad turned over the leaves ' of the book as he listened to her, and ; just at the end something had slipped I from its pages and fallen upon the | earpet. A scrap of sea-weed it was, i dry and brown, and tied with a bit of silver cord into a lover's knot. So iui significant it looked, so worthless, but it broke down the barriers of years. He had picked it up from the sands j that day at the Spouting Rock, and laid it in the book to mark the pas- ; sage. She bad laughed, and broken ; the cord from her glove, and tied it ; into the quaint, old-fashioned knot, jestingly saying she would keep it as i a souvenir, and showing it to him years ■ after would prove she had been a faithful—friend. , “Friend," she said, but the swift, down dr< ;> of her eyes had said more, and he had kissed her gloved hand in answr r.

And then he sat down again, still with his arms clasped around her, and she knelt upon the hearth, with her beautiful face hidden upon his breast and drooping. • Fourteen years I” she said at last, • nearly fourteen years !

And then he promised,and put love’s ancient seal upon the pledge, a little re vert ntly, and with such tenderness, ' that she knew that at last she was loved as a woman must be lived, with * true heart and a great strength, and a faith as pure and perfect as a child.
