"He will not hold me to my word?” “I am not so sure. Any way, I’ll talknc more to you about him this day. You are just tired and done for. We’ll leave the uiatUr to Heaven; and you must rest.

CHAPTER VI.—THE TfO OF WAR. The change from the luxurious elegance of the Chase to Mine. Debrisay's Lomlwn lodgings, was about ns great as can be imagined. Yet the house was not mean. The “wi low woman” who owned it had a certain refinement. Instead of the usual extrenn ly unlaced and unkempt "slavey,” she had an elderly servant of neat and Imposing aspect, who had been with her for years, and wko was ratheraterrortoMme. D hrisny. The lodger who occupied the upper floor was a steady elderly city clerk, of remarkable punctuality and precision. Still the tone of the homely dwelling was new to Mona, who had been accustomed to the i ristocratic, if narrow, nicety of lier grandmo. iier’s house, or the distinction of her relatives’ establishments. Fatigue made her sleep so profoundly that it took some moments of waking consciousness before she recognized where she was. The sound of someone moving reminded her that she was sharing Mma. Debrisay’s room, and presently that lady came out fully dressed from behind n large Japanese screen, which converted one corner into a dressing-closet. “A nd how did you sleep, dear?” “Oh, well; too well!” exclaimed Mona. “Well, stay where you are. I'll bring you a cup of coffee and a bit of toast, for I have a long, busy day before me.” St.e hurried away, and soon returned with a fragrant cup of vale mi lait and a slice of buttered toast. “I’m off now, make yourself comfortable dear; there an; some books in the next room; with splendid stories in them, they make your hair stand on end, and forget the time. Good-bye, dear.” Mona dressed slowly, and went into the Ritting-room. It was a stormy, wet day. The fire had been hastily loaded with coal, and had succumbed to the load. The handhell evoked a tall, hard-featured woman, with thick, grizzled hair, a spotless cap, and a dark print dress. “The fire’s gone out?” she repeated, In a high-pitched tone. “I dare say madame thinks coals ’ll light of theirselves; sho Just pitches them on, whether there is a spark alive or not. I’ll fetch a few sticks

piiss.”

The fire burning, the hearth swept, and a few tidying touches bestowed on the room, made a vast Improvement. Mona threw herself into an arm-chair, and tried to think what was best to do. The previous evening she had is.sted a few lines to the Chase, announcing her safe arrival; she might therefore postpone her next letter for twentv-foiir hours. She could hardly expect an answer from Waring till the next day. He was .staying —not very far away—with the gentleman who had been ids guardian, and for whom he had a great regard. She strove to swallow a morsel or two of the dinner set before her; she tried to gather the sense of an agonizing tale and interest herself in the tremendous persecutions of the heroine. All in vain. Time, however, was rolling on; she might soon expect Mine. Debris,ly. Four o’clock struck when she had gone into the bed-room to seek for some piece of fancy work, when ttie sound of the front door bell, followed by a step in the next room, made her hope that her kind hostess bad returned. Going quickly In to greet her, she beheld Jane, the servant. In the act of lighting the gas, while by the window, looking paler—sterner than she thought he could, stood Leslie

Waring!

“Good morning,” he said, stIlHy,. “I

out ! Ah, Mona! why can I not please you? Why are you socruel? You have destroyed my life!” There was such passionate despair in his voice that Mona was profoundly moved. She felt guilty, culpable, to the last degree; and wavering in her resolution—wishing, if possible, to do ttie right thing, she stammered— “If—if you thfnk it worth accepting, I will retract that letter, and—and do 1

best.”

“No!” interrupted Waring, with a dignity of which she did not imagine him capable. “You cannot endure me! I do nos want a victim! I love you too well for that. But, ah, Mona! it is an agony to think you will have to face the roughness of life! Whether you love me or not— whether you desert me or not—I would gladly give half I possess to shield you from all you dni>; to face. Promise you will let me help you if you need help— promise, Mona!” “Surely,” she cried, greatly touched— “surely Heaven has cursed you with sonnv thing of a woman’s heart, or you would not feel so tenderly and generously for one who has pained and wounded you! 1 feel your superiority, and I humbly bog your forgiveness. I will always think of you as a true gentleman. May you find greater happiness than 1 could bestow. Here— take this back!” “Pray keep it,” he said, as she held out her engagement-ring of diamonds. “1 cannot, Mr. Waring; you must take it

buck!”

He thrust it on his finger. “Then it is all over between us!” he said, passionately; “all quite over! Perhaps it is better so. It would have broken my heart to try In vain to win your love; and, dear as you are, I would not have you without it. Good-bye, Mona! you have taught me how unlovable I am; yet I might have made you happy.” With a slight despairing gesture of the hand he turned and left her. She did not expect to be so completely routed, so utterly ashamed. He was stronger and nobler than she thought. She had broken with him, and she had lost him. She liiid offered to retract, and he had rejected her. “He will forget me soon,” she told herself. “To-day his bearing was dignified

'ever did before; but I am sure I have done I right in acting as I have, and he will thank

' me yet.”

For the rest of the evening Mme. Dehri- | say kept silence, or nearly complete silence, which was, of course, pain and grief 4o J her while Mona finished and dispatched her letter. In ii i. ■ _ tjfqa answered, in rather n distracted fashion, by Lady Miry. ‘-M:? said she thought dear Mona must be under the influence of temporary insanity; that Sir Robert was going up to London to see what was really the matter: and that she prayed Heaven them might not ho any secret mischief at the bottom of this unfortunate affair. Tlie idea of facing Sir Robert alone was too much for issir Mona. “He will certainly bo here to-morrow. Could you manage to stay at home dear, dear Deb?” she said, imploringly. “Well, and 1 don’t wonder you are frightened to see him 1 He will be like a raging lion—small blame to him! Tnere, don’t turn so white. I’ll write and put off my early lessons, for you may lie sure he will come up hot foot the first thing in the morning to row us out of the place.” As madame had anticipated, Sir R ibert came between eleven ami twelve. A glance at his broad, usually good-humored face, showed how great was the wrath he had accmfiulated. He came abruptly into the room, and without a word of greeting, exclaimed— “What the deuce is the meaning of your extraordinary conduct. Mona? Have you quite lost your senses?” “No, Sir Robert. I have been making np my mind to break off my engagement ever since my grandmother died,” she said, gaining courage when absolutely un-

der fire.

"By George! you ought to be ashamed to confess it. To throw off a young fellow that is a great deal too good for you. the moment a pressing necessity was removed. I never was so humiliated in my life as when Waring came to speak to me last night. What’s to become of you, I’d like to know?” “I will try to take care of myself anil not to trouble anyone.” “Take care of yourself! Why you have acted like a perfect idiot. 1 haven’t patience to listen to you, and—and I wash my hands of you. I don’t suppose Waring would accept any overture now.” “And I shall certainly not make any,” said Mona, quickly. “Then what is to become of. you? You haven’t a rap, and my doors shall be closed against you!” “But mine are open to her,” said Mine. Debnsay, with dignity. “I suspect, and I told Lady Mary sy,” lie continued, without heeding her, “that there is some clandestine love affair under all this. You have inherited your mother’s taste for a low-born lover.” “If I find ns good a husband, I shall be fortunate,” crieil Mona, with spirit; “not should 1 bo marn i g la neat!, me. I have no wish to deny my kind, good father.” “Then, whv did von drop Ids name?" “I diil not; poor grannie called me by my second baptismal name Ix-fore 1 knew what

Ttie kindly woman’s horror and amazement when M nia disclosed the dreadful fact that Waring had come to answer her letter in person, and had gone away in sorrow and indignation, can be better imagined than described. She was too deeply affected for speech. She pushed back her chair from the table, and sat a silent image of grief. “And is there nothing to be done!” she ejaculated. "IHcu ilex DLeux! It was my bust hope, that when he came himself and yon saw him face to face, drowned in sorrow, you'd have given way. How had you the heart to refuse him again?” “But he did not ask me, dear Deb.

“But you are known ns a connection of my wife’s. 1 will not have you disgrace us; and I will not support you, unless 1

“Disgrace you. indeed!” cried Mme. Debrisay. “Who mentions disgrace in tl.e same breath with Mona’s name? Yon tire forgetting yours-if, Sir Roliert! You may have a right to be angry perhaps, but don’t let your anger make you forget you are a

gentleman.”

Sir Robert looked at her amazed, then in a changed tone, and with a gleam of amusement lit his eyes, he said— “If I seemed rude, I regret it. Your young friend’s unprincipled conduct to a worthy gentleman—who interceded for her, madame, absolutely interceded for her—lias irritated me beyond endurance.” Mme. D brisay bowed her forgiveness. “I only wish to stay here, and to be forgotten.” said Mona. Sir Robert played with his watch-chain for a minute in silence. “I believe it would be best,” he said at last. “I renounce you from this time forth, nor will I allow Lady Mary nor tny girls to hold any communication with vod. 1 have a couple of hundred pounds still in my hands of Mrs. Newburgh’s money, after paying funeral expenses and other things. I will send you a check for it, and whatever belongs to you at the Chase.” “I have already put everything together, anticipating tins expulsion,’’ said Mona. Sir Robert made a step or two toward the door, and paused irresolute. “I’ll give you another chance. Will you aulhorlze me to make overtures to Waring? I’ll do my best for you, if you will.” “It is impossible I could consent to such a proposal!” cried Mona. "Then I have no more to say, nor shall I ever see you again if I can help it.” He turned to go. “Though you are so angry, Sir Robert, I am not the less grateful fur all votir kindness,” sobbed Mona. “1 do love Lady Mary and Kvclyn dearly; it is acrucdpunishment never to see them again.” “1 have no patience with sentimental bosh,” lie returned, harshly. “Your action proves how much of real regard you have for any of us.” And seizing his hat lie left

sonal bereavement. In her short experience of society, she had no friendships or intimacies save with Fir Robert Kverard’s family. It was this abandonment that de-

pressed and saddened her.

It was a curious, trying sensation the giving of her first lesson. If the welldressed, demure little damsel to whom it was administered only knew how awfully afraid her elegant-looking teacher was of her, all chance of discipline would have ^jeeii over. But silence, backed by gravity, is a splendid cover for nervousness; and Mona did not utter a word beyond what teaching required, nor did she ever feel the

same panic again.

“She has beautiful frocks, mamma,” was the sentence of the little ten-year-old. “Her black cloth must be tailor-made—it fils tike a glove; and she has such beauti-

ful jet ear-rings!”

Nor did the young lady doubt that a music teacher so attired must be deserving

of all attention.

So the new life was fully inaugurated soon after Christmas—that Christmas which poor Leslie Waringhad hoped would be so heavenly bright—wliich Mme. Debrisay and Mona quietly and sadly ceie. brated together." The former accompanied her young protegee to church, and enjoyed a particularly crisp French novel over the fire for the rest of the day; while Mona sat long at the piano, playing from memory and dreaming over the past. She gave few

thoughts of the future.

So the days and weeks flew past, and Mona, with the blessed facility of youth, began to revive. A simple life, plenty ti do, the society of a kindly and amusing companion, are wholesome tonics. Mme. Debr-av was extremely amusing Slu iiad I) en largely educated by observation. She was at once skeptical and credulous; her mind was utterly untrained—yet acortain keen mother wit and largeness of heart miule her judgment, on the whole, clear. She was still quick in temper, though it had been much chastened, and also extremely resentful of small slights. Things had settled down to a regular routine. The depth of the winter was over, and Parliament had met, and Mona had nearly as much to do ns she could accomplish without iutigue, though she was quite willing to do more. .Madame even talked of making a little excursion to the sea-side at the dead season, if things con-

tinued to prosper.

Mona was returning late one afternoon, after one of her busiest days. She
