guise. Now I Iook ,ii you. you have got more niischiel to do in the world yet, I do believe.” “A deal more, I hope.” said lie. It now occurred to him. all of a sudden. that really he was not in good health, and Ihaf he had ditlieuUics before him which required calm nerves, and that nerves are affected bv the stomach. So. not to throw a chance away, he had the sense and the resolution to devote a few days to health and wholesome meditation. This is a discordant world; even vices will not always pull the same way. Here was a sinister villain distracted between avarice and revenge, and sore puzzled which way to turn. Of course he could expose t lie real parentage of Mary Hartley, and put both Hartlevand Hope to sliaine. and then the Cliffords would make Bartley disgorge the £20,Ooo. But he. Moiiekton. would not make a shilling by that, and it would be a weak revenge oil Hartley, who could now spare jCiHUHHI. and no revenge at all on Hope, for Hope was now well-to-do, and would most likelv be glad to get bis daughter back. Then, on the other hand, he could easily frighten I Hartley into giving him ilo.iioo to keep dark, but in that ease he must forego his vengeance on Hope. This dillieulty had tormented Monekton all along; but now Mrs. Ikiwsonhad revealed another obstacle. Young Clifford and Mary in love with each other. IVliaf Mrs. Kaston saw as a friend, with her good mother-wit. this man saw in a moment as an enemy, viz.; that this new combination dwarfed the tgo.iKm altogether. Monekton had no idea that his unknown antagonist Nurse Easton had married the pair, but the very atI taeliment. as the chatter-box of the’ Dun Cow deseribedit, wasa bitterpill to him. “Who could have foreseen thisV” I said he "It's devilish.” We did not ourselves intend our readers to feel it so, or we would not have spent so much time over it. Hut as regards that one adjective. Mr. Monekton is a better authority than we are. He had a document with him that, skilfully used, might make 1*1 iseliief fora time between these lovers. But he foresaw there could he no permanent result without the personal ahsistanceof Mrs. Hraham. That he could have commanded fourteen years ago. but now he felt how diflieult it would be. He would have to threaten and torment her almost to madness before she would comedown to Derbvshire and declare that this Walter Clifford was the Walter ('litlord of the certificate, and that she was Ids discarded wife. Hut Monekton was none the less resolved she should come if necessary. Heaving him vnriu* distnicium l ili-!. and weighingeven scheme, with its pros and eons, and. like a panther crouching and watching before he would make his fust spring, we will now bring our other characters up to the same point, and that will not take us long, for during the months we have skinned there were not many events, anu Mrs. Dawson has told the readers some of them, and the rest were only detached incidents. The most important in our opinion

were:

1. That Colonel Clifford resumed his determination to marry Julia Clifford to Walter, and pooh-poohed Fitzroy entirely, declaring him to he live feet nothing. and therefore far below the military

standard.

li. That Hope rented a eottageof Walter about three hundred yards from the mine, and not upon the land lU-t was leased to Hartley: and there wasa long detached building hard by. which IValter divided for him, and turned into an office with a large window close to the ground, and a worksiiop wile a rtooewa> and an aperture for a window, but

no window norcioer.

3. That Hope got mor. 1 and more un“asy about the ii’u.ooo, and observed to Hartley that they must be robbing snuie/iody of it without the excuse they once had. He. for Ids part. would work to disgorge his share. Hartley replied that the money would have gone to a convent if he had not saved it from so vile a fate. This said the astute Bartley because one day Hope, who had his opinions on everything, inveighed

ig.iinst a convent, and said no private in isiins ought to exist.in a fret*country. So Hartley's ingenious Htatcmcut stunned Hope for a minute, but did not

satisfy his conscience.

-t. Hope went to London for a week, ■>i.d M.o , .spent four day.-, with her has band at a hotel near the lake; hut not the one held by Mrs. Huston's sister. This change was by advice of Mrs. Kaston. On this occasion Mary played the woman. Sue reonested W alter to get her some orange blossoms, and she borrowed a diamond bracelet of Julia, and sat down to dinner with her husband in evening dress, and dazzled him with her lovely arms and bust, and her diamond bracelet and eyes that outshone it. suie seemed ever so much larger as well as lovelier, and Walter gazed at her with a sort of loving awe, and she smiled archly at him. and it was the lirst time slit* had realh enjoyed hei own beauty, or even troubled her head much about it. They condia, ed a In neymoon inlfi these four days, and came home compensated for their patience, and more devoted than ever. Hut whilst they were away < 'olnne! Clifford lired his attorney at Mr. Hartley, and when Mary came home. Hartley, who had lately connived at the love affair, told Mary this, and forbade her strictly to hold any more intercourse with Walter Clif-

ford.

This was thestateof tilings when “the hare with many friends, and only one enemy.” returned to his cottage late in the afternoon, lint before night everybody knew he had come home.and next morning they wen* all at him in dueorder. No sooner was he seated in his workshop, studying the lines of anew machine he was trying to invent, than he was startled from intense thought into the attitude of Hogarth's enraged musician by cries of “Hope! Mr. Hope!

/

Mr. IIope!”';;nd tkerr was a little let’of eager applicants. First a gypsy boy with long black curls and continuous genuflect ions, and a fiddle, and doleful complaints tlmt he could not play it,

and that it was the tiddlc's fault.

"Well.it is for once,” Said Hope. “Why, you little duffer, don't you see

that the bridge is too low?”

He slackened the string, removed tho bridge, fitted on a higher one, tuned it,

and handed it over.

“There.” said he “nlay us one of the tunes of Egypt. •The Hogue's March,

ehy and muzzle.”

The supple Oriental grinned and made ' obeisances, pretended not to know “The

Hogue's March” (to the lieu-house).and went off plaving “Johnny Comes March-

ing Home” i Hndewell to wit).

Then did Miss Clifford’s French maid trip forward smirking with a parasol to mend: “Deso'ee dee t.ous dminger. Monsieur mnis noire demois< ih e.it

tm desesjtoir;oh, o s purneols Anytuh!"

“Coiom,” said Hope, "eoyonx eo;" and in a minute repaired the article, and the girl spread it. and went off wriggling and mincing with it. so that there was a pronounced horse-laugh at her

minauderies.

Then advanced a rough young English nurseout of a farm-house with a child that could just toddle. She had left an enormous doll with Hope for repairs. and the child had given her no peace for the last week. Luckily Hie doll was repaired and handedover. The mite, in whose little bosom maternal feelings had been excited, insisted on carrying her child. The consequence was that at about the third step they rolled over one another, and tothcspectators at a little distance it was hard to saj which was the parent and which the offspring. Then tne strapping lass in charge seized roughly, and at the risk of dislocating their little limbs, tossed into the air and caught, one on each <>f her ow n robust arms, and carried them off stupidly irritated for want of a grain of humor—at the good-natured

laugh this caused, and looking as if she would like to knock their little heads

together.

Under cover of this an old man in hioad hat, and seemingly innrm, crepl slowly by and looked keenly at Hope, but made no apnlication. Only while taking stock of ilope his eyes flashed wickedly, and much too brightly for so old a man as he appeared. He did not go far; he got behind a tree, and watched the premises. Then a genuine old man and feeble camcand brought Hope Ids clock to mend. Hope wound it up, and it went to perfection. The old man had been a stout fellow w hen Hope was a boy, but now lie was weak, especially in the upper story. Hope saw at once that the young folk had sent him thnre for a joke, and lie did not approve it. “Gaffer.” said he. "this wifi want repairing every eight days: but don’t you come here any more; I 'll call on you every week, and repair it for auld king

s\ lie.”

Whilst he toddled away, and Hope retired behind his lathe to study hisumdcl in peace. Monekton raged at the sight

of liim and Ids popularity.

“Ay,” said he. “you are a genius. You can model a steam-engine or mend a did?, and you outwitted me. and gave me fourteen years. Hut you will iind me as ingenious as you at one thing,

and that's revenge.”

And now a higher class of visitors began to find their way to the general favorite. The first was a fair young lady of surpassing beauty. She strolled pensively down the green turf, cast a hasty glance in at the work-shop.and not seeing I lope,concluded he was a little tired after Ins journey, and had not yet arrived. She strolled slowly down then, and seated herself in a large garden chair, stuffed, that I lope had made, and placed there for Colonel Clifford. That worthy frequented the spot because he had done so for years, and because it was a sweet turfy slope; and there was a wonderful beech-tree his father had made him plant when he was live years old. It had a gigantic silvery stem', and those giant branches which iliecrippled in a beech wood but really belongtothe isolated tree, as one Virgil discovered before we were born. Mary Hartley then lowered her parasol, and settled into tin* Colonel's chair underthe shade vntula! jayi—of the wide-spreading

beech-tree.

She sat down and sighed. Monekton eyed her from Ids lurking-place, and made a shrewd guess who she was, but

resolved to know.

Presently Hope caught a glimpse of her, and came forward and leaned out of the w indow to enjoy the sight of her. lie could do that unobserved, for he was a long way behind her at a sharp

angle.

He was still a widower and this his only child, and lovely as an angel; and he had seen her grow into ripe loveliness from a sick girl. He had sinned for her and saved her; he had saved her again from a more terrible death. He doted on her.and it wasalwaysaspecial joy to him when lie could gloat on her unseen. Then lie had no need to make up an artificial face and hide his adoration from her. Hut soon a cloud came over his face and Ids paternal heart. He knew she had a lover; and she looked like a girl who was waiting pensively for him. She had not come there for him whom she knew only as her devoted friend. At this thought the poor father sighed. Mary's quick senses caught that, and her sweet face beamed. "You are there, after all. Mr. Hope.” Hope was delighted. Why, it was him she had come to see, after all. He eume down to hn directly, rndinid and then put mi a rddl untliikel he often had to wear out of fidelity to Hartley, who did not deserve it. "This is early for you to bo out, Miss Hartley.” “Of "course it is,” said she. “But I know it is tin* time of da> when you are kind to anybody that conn's, anil mend all their rubbish for them, and 1 could kill them for their impudence in wasting your time .--n. And I ant as had as the rest. For here 1 am wasting your time in my turn. Yes. dear Mr. Hope, you are so kind to everybody and mend their things. I want you to be kind to me and mend—my prospects for me.” Hope's impulse was to gather into his arms and devour witli kisses the sweet specimen of womanly tenderness, frank inconsistency, naivete, and archness. As he could not do that, lie made himself extra stiff. “Your prospects. Miss Hartley! Why, they are brilliant. Heiress to all the growing wealth and poweraroundyou.” “Wealth and powert” said the girl, “tv hat is the use of them, if our heartare in be In liken'/ 1 Oh. Mr. Hupo, papa is so unkind. He has forbidden me to speak to him.” Then, gravely, “That com mat id comes too late.” “I fear it does,” said Hope. “I have long suspected something. “Suspected?” said Mary.turning pale. “What?” “That you and Walter Clifford ” “Yes,” said Mary, trembling inwardly. but commanding her face. “Arc—engaged.” Mary drew a long breath. “What makes you think so?” said she. looking

down.

“Well, there is a certain familiarity— no. that is too strong a word: hut there I more case between you than there was. Ever since i came hack from Helgium 1 have seen tlmt the preliminaries of courtship were over, and you two looked on yourselves as one.” “Mr. Hope.” said this good, arch girl, and left off panting, “you are a terrible man. Papa is eyes ami no eyes. You frighten me; hut not very much, for you would not watch me so closely if you did not love me—a little.” “Not a little. Miss Hartley.” “Alary. pleas;}.”

Mary. ' I have seen you a sicKly caught the lovers if lie had come silent-

child; I have been anxious—who would not? I have seen you grow in health

and strength, and every virtue.” “And seen me tumble into the water

and frighten you out of your senses, and there's nothing one loves rke a downright pest, especially if she loves ns; and I do love you, Mr. Hope,dearly, dearly, and I promise to he a pest to you all your days. Ah. here he comes at last.” She made two eager steps to meet him, then she said, “Oh! I forgot.” and came hack again and looked pro-

digiously demure and innocent. Walter came on with ids usual rush, crying, “Mary, how good of you!” Mary put her fingers in her ears. “No,

no. no; we are forbidden to communicate.” Then, imitating a stiff man of business—for she was a capital mimic wlien she chose—“any communication you may wish to honor me with must lie addressed to this gentleman, Mr. Hone; he will convey it tome, and it shall meet with all the attention it de-

serves.”

Walter laughed, and said, “That’s in-

genious.”

"Of Course it is ingenious,” said Mary, subth .-"That's my character toafault." “'Well, young people," said Hope. “I am not sure that I have time to repeat verbal communications to keen ears that heard them. And I think 1 can make myself more useful to you. Walter. your father has set his lawyer on to Mr. Hartley, and what is the consequence? Mr. Hartley forbids Man to speak to you. and the next thing will lie a summons, lawsuit.and a great defeat, and loss to your fntherand you. Mr. Hartley sent me the lawyer s fetter, lie hopes to get out of a clear contract by pleading a surprise. Now you must go to the lawyer—it is no use arguing with your father in Ids present heat and you must assure him that there has been no surprise. Why. I called on Colonel Clifford years ago. and told him there was coal on that farm; and I almost went on my knees to him to profit by it." “You don't say that. Mr. Hope?” “I do say it. and 1 shall have to swear it. You may be sure Mr. Halt lev will siibpicna me. if this wretched squabble

gets into court.”

"Hut what did iny father say to you?” “He was kind and courteous to me. I was poor as a rat, and dusty w ith travel —on foot; and he was a fine gentleman, as he always is, when he is not in too great a mission. He told me more than one lanu-owner had wasted money in tins county groping for coal. lb* would not waste ids money nor dirty Ids lingers. Hut lie thanked me for m> friendly zeal, and rewarded me with ten shil-

lings.”

“Oh!” cried Walter, and hid bis face in Ids bands. As for Mary, she put her hand gently but quietly on Ho|»e's shoulders, as if to protect him from such in-

still

"\\ by, children,” said Hope, pleased at their sympathy, but too manly to hunt for ii. "it was more than he thought the information worth, and I assure you it was a blessed boon to me. I had spent my last shilling, and there 1 was trapesing across the island on a wildgoose chase with my reaping-hook and mv fiddle: and my poor little* Grace,

that I—that I——”'

Mary's hand went a moment to Ids other shoulder and she murmured through her tears. "You have got rne. n Then Hope was happy again, and indeed the simplest woman can find ina moment the very word that is halm of

Gilead to a sorrowful man.

However, Hope turned it off and continued his theme. The jury, he said, would pounce on that ten shillings as tho Colonel's true estimate of his coal, and he would figure in the ease as a dog in the manger who grudged Hartley the profits of a risky investment he' had merely sneered at and not opnosed, until it turned out well; and also disregarded the interests of the little community to whom the mine was a boon. "No.” said Hope; “tell your lawyer that I am Hartley's servant, hut love' eouity. I 1 have proposed to Hartley to follow a wonderful seam of coal under Colonel < lifford's park. We have no business there. So if tlie belligerents will hear reason 1 will make Hartley pay a royalty on every ton that comes to the surface from any part of the mines and that will he £1,200 a year to the Cliffords. Take this to the lawyer and tell him to unfix that hero's bayonet, or he will charge at the double and lie the death

of his own money—and yours.”

Walter threw ui) ids hands with amazement and admiration. “What a

head!” said lie.

“Fiddledee!” said Mary; “what a

heart!”

“In a word, a phoenix.” said Hope, dryly. “1’raise is sweet, especially behind one's hack. So pray go on, unless you have something better to say to each other;” and Hope retired brisk!' into his office, lint w hen the lovers look him at his word, and began to strut up and down hand in hand, and murmur love's music into each other's ears, he could not take his eyes oif them, and his thoughts were sad. She had only known that young fellow a few months, yet she loved him passionately, and lie would take her away from her father before she even knew all that fat lit r had done and suffered for her. When I he revelation did come she would perhaps he a wife and a mother, and then even that revelation would fall compara-

tiv<*!\ fiat.

liesides his exceptional grief, he felt Hit* natural pang of a father at the prospect of resigning her to a husband. Hard is the lot ot parents; and. above all. of a parent w ith one child whom li< adores. Many other creatures love their young tenderly, and their young leave them. Hut then the inlaney and youth of those creatures are so short, lu a few mouths the young shift for themselves, forgetting and forgotten. Hut with our voungthe helpless period; of infancy ami youth are so long. Farental anxiety goes through so main trials and so various, and they all strike roots into the parent's heart. Yet after twenty years of love and hope and fear comes a handsome young fellow, :* charming highwavman to a parent'- 1 eye, and whisks her away after two months'courtship. Then, oh, ye young, curb for a moment your blind egotism, and feel a littb* for the parents win have felt so much for you! You rathei like William Hope, so let him help yoi to pity your own parents. See his sad face as lie looks at the love he is yet too unselfish to discourage. To save that tender root, a sickly child, he transplanted it from his ow n garden, anu still tended it With imi.iri c.iii «i»i leeli* e year. Another gathers the flower, lie watched and tended and trembled over the tender nestling. The voungbirdis tiding her wings before his eyes; soon she will spread them, and lly away to a newer nest and a younger bosom. In this ease, however, the young people had their troubles too. and their

was soon interrupted

ly: hut he was talking loa pitman as in* came, and Mary's quick ears heard his

voice round the corner.

“Papa!” cried she. “Oh, don't let him

see us! Hide!”

“Where?”

“Anywhere—in here—quick!” and she flew into Hope's workshop, which indeed offered great facilities for hiding. However, to make sure, they crouched behind the lathe and a huge plank of beautiful mahogany Hope was very

proud of.

As soon as they were hidden, Mr.ry began to complain in a w hisper. “Thi*' comes of our clandestine m—. Our very life is a falsehood; concealment is

torture—and degradation.'^

“1 don't feel it. I call this good fun.” “Oh Walter! Good fun! F or shame!

Hush!”

Hartley hustled on to the green.called Hope out. and sat down in ('olone! Clifford's chair. Hope came to him. and Hartley, who had in Ids hand some drawings of the strata in the coal mine, handed the hook to Hone, and said. “I quite agree w ith you. That is the seam to follow; there's a fortune in it.” “Then you are satisfied with me?” “More than satisfied.” “I have something to ask in return." “I am not likely to say no. my good friend,” was the cordial reply. “Thank you. Well, then." there is an attachment hetwet n Marx and voting Clifford.” Hartley was on his guard directly. “Her happiness isat stake. That gives me a rigid to interfere, and say. 'he kind to her.'” "Am I not kind to her? 'Was any parent ever kinder? Hut [must beVise as well as kind. Colonel Clifford can disinherit his son.” At this point the young people ventured to peep and listen, taking advantage of the circumstance that both Hope and Hartley were at some distance, w'itli their hacks turned to the work-

shop.

So they both heard Hope say; “Withdraw your personal opposition to the match, and the other uifiiculty can be got over. If you want to he kind to a young woman, it is no use feeding her ambition and her avarice, for these area man's idols. A woman's

is love."

Mary wafted the speaker a furtive

kiss.

“To enrich that dear child after your death, thirty vears lienee.and break her heart in the flower of her youth, is to he unkind to her; and if you are unkind to her. our compact is broken.” “Unkind to her,” said Hartley. “What male parent has ever been more kind, niore vigilant? Sentimental weakness is another matter. My affection is more solid. Can I oblige you in anything that is business?” “Mr. Hartley,” said Hope, “you cannot divert me from the more important question: business is secondary to that ilear girl's happiness. However, I have more than once asked you to tell mo who istheloserof * at large sum.which, as vou and I have dealt with it. has enriched you and given meacompetence.” "That's my business,” said Hartley, sharply, “for you never lingered a shilling of it. Bo if the pittance I pay you for conducting my business burn's your pocket, why. send it to Hotliscnild.'’ And having made this little point. Hartley walkeil away to escape further comment, and Hope turned on his heel and walked into Ins office, and out at the back door directly, and proceeded to his duties in the mine; but he was much displeased with Hartley, and his looks showed it. The coast lay clear. The loverscame cautiously out, and silently too, for what they had heard puzzled them not

all* le.

Mary came out first, and wore a very meditative look. She did not say a word till they got to some littledistance from the workshop. Then she half turn- , ed her head toward Walter, who was j behind her. and said. "I suppose you know we have done a contemptible

thing—listening?”

“Well.” said Walter, “it wasn't good form: hut,” added tie. “we could hardly

help it.”

“Of course not,” said Mary. “Wehave been guiltv of a concealment that drives us into holes and corners, and all manner of meannesses must lie expected to follow. Well, we ho re listened, and I am xi ry glad of it: for it is plain we *re not the only people who have got secrets. Now tell me, please, what does

it all mean?”

“Well. Mary.” said Walter.“to tell the truth, it is all Greek to me, except about the money. I think I could give a guess

where that came from."

“There, now!” cried Mary: “that is so like _xon gentlemen. Money money! Never mind the money part: leave that to take care of itself. Can yon explain
