FRJDAY.. .FEBRUARY 6, 1809. Lady Margarets Valentine. concluded J So we walked across the park together, to where people were collected under the shade of some stately oaks. Bat I could think only of the brilliant morninir in February, and that dread' ful Valentine for so I called the man in mv heart. " IJow do you do. Mrs. Bond?" said Lidy Margaret, walking straight np to the mUtress of the little inn. Mrs. Bond courtesied and congratu lated herself on being there. " Not but that it was hard to come," she sid, "for I have a lodger now, my lady, whose fishing ia well nigh fortver over. 1 could not leave him at home. lie vowed like a willful child that I should bring him. I had a world of difficulty to settle it." " And how was it arranged?" " Why, with two poles and an arm chair: and there he is 1 He is one of those who always have their own way, and such don't last long." We looked in the direction pointed out by bits. Bond, and saw a figure wrapped up in cloaks, sitting ia a chair in the shade. "I heard," said Lady Margaret, " that a sick maa had been brought here; I thought that I would ask about him." "Thank you, my lady; just like you. I wish you would speak to him. There, he looks this way you may almost see his eyes flash." "He U prodigious handsome." said a voice close by; and Lady Margaret a little shrunk aside from the touch of Miss Nancy Bennet. ' Prodigious handsome 1 My sister and I make him often au object for a walk S'easant to ha?an object," said Miss ancy. "Mrs. Bond seems to take, great caro of him; sets bim outside to watch the liver, and he admires the river, and tilks of your ladyship talks vastly of your ladyship," giggled Miss Nancy; and though the poor creature meant no more, I am sure, than to do honor to Lady Margaret's perfection, I yet felt I could have strangled her for her manner of doing it." " Well, and I wish her ladyship would speak to him, if she will be so kind," said Mrs. Bond, angrily. " He wants frieuds people as can be friends;" with a fiery flash of her eyes on Miss Nancy. When I asked him the other day who I should send to, if anything happened, he said, The doctor or the Coroner .which you please;' and if that is not enough to break the heart of any woman who has been wife and mother, I don't know what is." What is his name?" asked Lady Margaret. "That he don't tell" said Mrs. Bond. " But he pays his way, and he had got that natural to me, that if he didn t pay I could not turn him out. He ain't like other people. He's got a wonderful way with him; why, my old man is just like his servant, and my grandchildren they adored him! "Nevertheless," said Miss Nancy, spitefully, "you will get into trouble if you let him die in your house with- " out a doctor." " Then trouble may come and welcome. A doctor he won't have, and not all the doctors that ever were made would keep him here; for he is dying, though slow; and 1 am doctor enough to know that." Very mysterious I" exclaimed Miss Nancy. ' Which I never denied," responded Mrs. Bond. " But still I know something. Gentleman he is; ill he is; dying he is. I wish, my lady, you would go and speak to him." " Good day, Mrs. Bond," said Lady Margaret, with one of her quiet, penetrating smiles which went to the heart directly; and then, with her hand within my arm, she walked up to the languid figure ia the chair under the trees. He took off his hat as she came near. Miss Nancy Bennet had certainly not overstated the amount of his beauty. He looked at Lady Margaret boldly, with a smile which was wonderful, but strangely free. Many people stood by. There was something in his face as he looked at my kind friend, which I felt vexed, that they should see. "I hope you are not too ill for the enjoyment of this day," she said. "I am too ill for enjoyment of any kind," he answered, with a sweet voice, and the accent of an eduoated man. " I am here on business." "What!" " I had two thinsrs to do. One was to secure for Mrs. Bond a happy day; and then my voice is weak; will you come closer to me?" We walked to his side, and Lady Marcr j ret stooped he? head. " Then, to try to see y.u; and ask your eharity for the few days I have to live." Lidy Margaret kept her hand on my arm ana looked at tne sice man kindly. aw- i ms features were as pertect as a statues; his face might have served as a iu )del tor a young Apollo. The whole eountenanee was of that godlike character which belongs to such ideas .so bold, sweet and free, with out at. .ieb ol the coarse or rude ; it was like tne assertion ot a superior nature mat could neither be understood nor restrained. I felt surprised at tb contemplation of such living beauty; and yet there was a ghastliness when the smile died away, which aeoarate l this sick man from the strong an 1 healthy living souls that were now standing about us. "How can I help you?" said Lady Margaret. " By sayiog that, when I am dying. it you are sens ror, you win uuuw. " Not till then?" she said, softly. "A vob i,lrie." he answered: and then again there was that free smile on his face which had so greatly struck me at first. It was grandly beautiful, no doubt, but, nevertheless, it was a smile that had in it more power than pleasantness. When the day was pent, and the last of the crowd were gone, I found Lady Margaret sitting alone in the library. 1 he door was open and the windows also, bhe was sitting still and thoughtful, in the cool freshness ol the evening air. " Where is your mother, dear Mary ? she asked. 1 said, one waned home some hours ago. one nas sent tne pony and cnrnaire for me. " 0. !" said Lady Margaret, " that will suit me exactly. Send your ser vant hick on foot, and then you Mrv pin tike me a drive. " I should like it verv much." I an swered. " But I shall not know bow to get homo. I am not -allowed to drive by myself by the road, and I am "l-.ll. i - i l 1 . L . , airaia toiite iuoin ny me aeer-par. they jump out and startle bim so. .Never mind; 1 will send you home, u r take you. O ly stay with me now. and take me a drive." It was odd to hear Lady Margaret so positive, 1 thought, llut 1 was glad to d ) as she said, and I did it. The pouy carriage came, and Lady Margaret and I drove away. When we got to the lodge gates she said:

' Drive to Mrs. Bond's, my dear."

"Lady Margaret!' "Yes; I must see that man again I can't eet over what what what 1 felt, Mary; and this delicious air cools me. Drive on, Mary." I felt vexed, surprised, sorry. To blame Lady Margaret, even to doubt Lady Margaret, was a new sensation but I drove on silently in the direc tion of the "Crown and Salmon." "There we are 1" she cried with considerable excitement in her voice "Don't be unnatural, Mary. Yoa can t speak. " I don't like going here," I said fctie touched my arm and made me look at her. Her beautv was height ened so bv what she had in her mind that she quite dazzled me. "Yon must neither think nor sneak." she said. "I feel sure that a very wonderful thing is going to happen to me" And then she got out of the carriage and went straight into the house. I staved in the carriage waiting The river murmured away. Young men who had come for a few days' fishing strolled about talking of the river, the weather and the weight of salmon. Half an hour passed, and then Lady Margaret came back, with a face, the odd excitement of which she could not conceal. " Go to your own home now, Mary. It 13 too late for anything else." So I drove to our entrance-gate, when Lady Margaret got out, and walked straight across the park towards the Court, only saying. Thank you dear; good-nifcht." I looked after her. I felt as if there was something wrong. I did not like the uonaturally strong interest my perfect Lady Margaret had shown in this beautiful stranger. I disliked her whole manner so much I felt It to be so unaccountable that I kept all about it a secret from my mother. Days and weeks ' passed. Lady Margaret sent two medical men, at different times, to see the sick man, but no entreaties of Mrs. Bond, nor of her husband, could make him see either of them, Mrs. Bond said that he must die. Lady Margaret sent all manner of dainties to the inn from the Court, which the sick man appeared to relish exceedingly. This man then became the chief interest of our lives. He would sit in uis arm-coair oy tne river-side, refusing to speak lo any one except Lady Margaret. All eyes and mouths were open to watch and to report proceedings. Lady Margaret was with him daily once, twice a day; and when he was worse for a few days. she remained and waited ou him like a servant. How things grew worso until they assumed unpleasant dimensions, I need not Bay. But Lady Margaret's perfections first grew dim, and then withered away. At last my mother cautioned me that it was a matter on which I had better not speak; and then I wept bitter tears. Down. down. down, in popular opin ion, went Ladv Margaret. The whole county heard, talked, wondered, and, for the most part, condemned. At ast my mother spoke to her. U yes, she said, standing up in our morning room, l Know people dieike my having taken to sick-nursing. And she laughed a hard laugh, such as we had never heard from her before. Then she stopped suddenly, and wiped her eyes, which were full of tears. " I cannot help it," she said. " I must go there. 1 canuot keep away. It would kill the poor creature if I did." " Indeed, indeed, you ought. pleaded my mother. - leant, she repeated, almost an - gTily; " will you believe me if I say I won't." Then she walked out of the room. But iu another moment she came bacK again, one c ssed my mother, looking with sad. eotrcatiu? eyes into her face. " You will always stand by me," she said. '"The Koyds have alwnya been faitntul to the Court. You will always make Mary think well of me? Then she broke . out in great excite ment " But, in the name of Heaven, what have I done? Are we never to visit the sick, or comfort the afflicted?" My mother did not speak. But I. in an excess of girlish excite ment, cried out, " O, Lady Margaret, that is not the question. It is so dreadful, because people say you are in love with that horrid man, and then a fit of crying overcame me. and I dropped my face on the sofa cushion. sobbing violently. Is it as bad as thatr she asked, . a . "a a witn a tremDiing voice ana a scared fice. " But do not cry, my darling. You are a good, brave girl. Thank you for telling me. Yet do not call that sick man noma, it is not true; and I cannot cease to care for him. But perhaps I ought to take him away, if people say such things." bhe looked at my mother like one ia a dream. ' Give it all up, Lady Margaret. Send the man to some consumptive hospital. Give him what you please but not your good name. You can hardly exaggerate what people say. She made no answer to this speech of my mother's, only going out of the house quietly. But the next evening, as I was walking past the Deer Fool, I turhod home quickly, for there, ia the shade, sat JLady Margaret, with the man s hand in bers. ms bead on her shoulder, and every now and then she kissed the broad white forebead, till bo looked up at ber with a face so bright with thankful love, that 1 fled away, and got back to my mother's arms, and told her all I had seen. We will go away tor a time, she said. " Try not to think of it, Mary." But mv idol was broken: and the burden of unbelief nearly broke my heart. Things grew so bad, even good old simple-minded Mrs. Bond spoke to ber at last, and said that it was un seemly for one in her station to nurse a sick man of whom she knew nothing. and whose name even was un known. But Lady Marearet only re plied that she should never desert the sick lodger, and tbat she would never let any one take her place by his bedside, eitner by day or night. But immediately alter Mrs. Bond s expostulation a new thing happened. The Kempton carriage, which was hired for all occasions by everybody, arrived at the " Crown and Salmon," and tnnk the sick lodzer to the rail way station. There was Lady Marcarct: she took their places, and, un attended, they went away together. Martin, her maid, had gone to Lou don by a previous train. A solemn sort of mourning fell on an beam now. We felt shamed in her shame. But we loved her still.Juady Margaret never wrote to any one, but Margaret corresponded with the housekeeper. Mrs. Bent used to bring us these letters to read. " It is all jnst as it used to be," she wrote. " She nurses bim like any hired womaa; and he evidently loves ncr iuuuij. ... ; . . . i ., . iuaruu !iu.e ei uia sick man as Mr. Jjislu. ni i I 1 . ..v i uea sue v.tumj uuo. " i m comiDg home. Lady Marararet send me back. My iady has scarcely leit Mr. Lisle s room day or night for week. He is better now. and they are going to the sea. X expect ber

attendance on him must havo excited some surprise, though people speak of them as related, and I favor the idea. But, quite unexpectedly. Captain Granhy he who is the heir has

arrived. Ladv Marearet seems to be on good terms with him, though some high words 1 know they nave nao. He says he will take part of the nursing of Mr. Lisle." So Martin came back, and in a fortnight's time Lady Margaret wrote to Mrs. Bent that her sick friend was dead. She enclosed a note to Mr. Browning, the clergyman, sayiog she should havo the funeral at Kempton, and that the body was tQ be placed in the Caryl 1 vault. Nothing could exceed the anger of all Kempton at this news of the funeral that was to be. The vault was opened with anry words; the' once " perfect lady " suffered from names toa vile for repetition. The -coffin of good Sir Geoffrey was to endure denlement from the neighborhood of one for whom his widow had given her fair name, and stained the hitherto spotless pages of the chronicles of their house. But no one could interfere; and the day and the funeral came. The Kempton world kept aloof: but, nevertheless, on the lookout. Ihe tuneral corteae came slowly un the road that flanked the park, to the village Church. In one of the mourning coaches was Captain Granby, and following him. Lady Margaret. Some people only saw her black veil, but others said that she was weeping in tne quiet old way, as she would have wept before the fevered life of the last three months had come to her. Then came the procession up to the open grave, and the people who were : gathered round heard the burial words, and, at one word, started one word but little expected. The coffin, with the black inscription oo the glittering silver-plate, showed with most conspicuous clearness this an nouncement: "Olivia, wife of Charles Carvll Granby, died October 7, aged 23. ' The news spread. The good old clergyman was appealed to. He could only show a note from Lady Margaret, telling him that the sick person, once at Mrs. uond s and now dead, whom he was to bury, was not a man, but a woman; tbat she had confided her secret to her, and that she had 'been taken away to die as a woman should. fehe was the wife of Sir Geoffrey's heir, vrrote Jjadv Margaret. " She had left him on the morning of their marriage, having received, on her return from church, a letter from a over whom she had believed to ha dead. Her friends had over-persuaded her, knowing to how large a prop erty Captain Granby would succeed. She had wandered about for above a year in a man's disguise, and then she formed the project of getting to Kempton and castiog herself on my protection. I had the happiness of getting her to see her husband before she died." No particulars were ever given: no further explanation was ever made. When .Capttin Granbv spoke of Lady Margaret he taid she was an angel. When I went again to Kempton Court, and into the accustomed room, called by the dearly-loved voice, welcomed by the much-prized embrace, I wept tears of joy, knowing what they were saying in the village, and echong the words in my heart " Such a perfect lady."- One day Captain Granby brought a bright young wife to the Uourt; but who the first poor bride was we never knew, lint every twentieth of. June, though there are no more fdte days at Kempton. Mrs. Bond has her own special rejoicing. There comes to her regularly a twentypound Bank of England note. STATIONERY. JOnN II.
