“IValter,” said the Colonel, with the quiet sternness more formidable than all his bluster, “have not 1 forbidden you to court this man’s dauuhtei V” Said Hartley to Mary: “Haven’t 1 forbidden you to speak" to this ruffian's
son'r”
Then, being a cad who had lost his temper, he took the girl by the wrist and gave her a rough pull across him that sent her effectually away from Walter. She sank into the Colonel's
out crying with shame, the Colonel. But the
thing was not to end there. Hope strode in amongst them, with a palecmek and a lowering brow as black as thunder; Ids lirst words were, "Do you call yourself a father!* Not oneoftnem had ever seen Hope like that, and they all stood amazed, and wondered what would come
next.
CHAPTER XVI. REM INIS'CENCE*. — THE FALSE ACCL’SEIL—THE SECRET EXPLORED. The secret hung on a thread. Hope, after denouncing Hartley, as we have described, was rushing across to Mary, and what he would have said or done In the first impulse of his wrath, who can telly Hut th? quick-witted Hartley took the alarm, and literally collared him. “My good friend,” said lie, “you don't know the provocation. It is the affront to her that lias made me forget myself. Affronts to myself from the same quarter L have borne with patience. Hut now this insolent man has forbidden his son to court her. and that to her face; as if we wanted liissonor him. Haven't 1 forbidden the comieetiony”
seem to have lived two lives; one long, one short,—too short. My long life m a comfortable bouse, with servants and carriages and all that. My short life in different places; not comfortable places, but large places; nil was free ami open, and there was always a kind voice in uiv ear—like yours; and a tender touch —like yours.” Hope was restraining himself with difficulty, and here he could not help uttering a faint exclamation. To cover it he took her wrist again, and bending his head over it. he said, almost in a whisper, “And the faceV” Mary's eyes turned inward, and she seemed to scan the past. "The faceV” said she—“the face I cannot recall. Hut one thing 1 do remember clearly. This is not the lirst time my wrist—yes—and it was my right wrist too—has been bound up sotemierly. He did it for me in that other world, just as you do in this one.” Hope now thrilled all over at this most unexpected revelation. Hut though he glowed with delight and curiosity, lie put on a calm voice and manner, and begged her to tell him everything else she could remember that happened in that other life. Finding him so serious, so sympathetic, and so interested, put this remarkable girl on her mettle. She began to think very hard, and show that intense power of attention she had always in reserve for great occasions. “Then you must not touch me nor speak to me.” said she. “The past is such a mist." He obeyed, and left off binding her wrist; anil now lie literally hung upon her words. Then she took one step away from him; her bright eyes veiled themselves, and seemed to see nothing external,but looked into the recesses of the brain. Her forehead, her hand, her very body thought, and we must try, tliough it is almost hopeless, to convey some faint idea of her manner and her words. "Let —me see.” Then she paused. “1 remember— H'liite sicnns." A pause. “Were they swans?” “Or ships?” “They lloated down the river to the
sea."
seat, and burst pain, and fright “Brute!” said
“We are agreed for once,” said the Colonel, and carried his son off bodily, sore against his will. “Yes,” shrieked Hartley after him; “only 1 did it like a gentleman, and did not insult the young man to his face for loving my daughter.” “Let me hear what Mary says,” was Hope's reply. “Sir. Hope,” said Mary, “did you ever know papa to be hard on me before? He is vexed because lie feels I am lowered. We have both been grossly insulted, and be may well be in a passion, Hut I am very unhappy.” And she began to cry again. “My poor child,” said Hartley, coax ingly. “talk it all over with Mr. Hope. He may be able to comfort you, and. indeed, to advise me. For wliat can I do when the man calls me a sharper, a villain. and a knave, before liLson and my daughter?" “Is it possible?” said Hope, beginning to relent a little. “It is true,” replied Mary. Hartley then drew 11 ope aside, and said, “See what confidence 1 place in you. Now show me my trust is not misplaced.’’ Then he left them together. Hone came to Mary and said, tenderly, “Wliat can I say or do to comfort you?” Mary shook her head. “I asked you to mend my prospects; but you can't do that. They are desperate. Toucan do nothing for me now but comfort me with your kind voice. And mend my poor wrist—ha! ha! ha! oh! oh!" (Hysterical.) "What?” cried Hope, in sudden alarm; “is it hurt? is it sprained?” Mary recovered her composure. “Oh no,” sai<l she, “only twisted a little. Papa was so rough. Hope went into a rage again. “Perdition!” cried he. “I'll go and end this once for all.” “You will do nothing ofthe kind.” said the quick-witted girl. "Oh. Mr. Hope, would you break my heart altogether, qurrelling with Papa? He reasonable. I tell you he couldn't help it, that old monster insulted him so. It hurts, for all that,” said she, naively, and held him out a lovely white wrist with a red mark on it. Hope inspected it. “Poor little wrist.” said he. “1 think I can cure it.” Then he went into his office for something to bind it with. But he had spoken those few words as one speaks loan afflicted child. There was a mellow softness and an undisguised paternity in his tones and what more natural, the girl being in pain? But Mary’s ear was so acute that these tones'earried her out of the present situation, and seemed to stir the depths of memory. She fell into a little reverie, and asked herself had she not heard a voice like that many years
ago.
She was puzzling herself a little over
this when nope letarned witu a long linn band ot white Indian cotton, steeped in water, and taking her hand gently, began to bind her wrist with great lightness and delicacy. And as he bound it he said, “There, the pain will soon go.”
Mary looked at him full and said,
slowly, “I believe it will.” Then, very
thoughtfully, “It did —before.” These three simple words struck
Hope as rather strange.
it did before?” said lie. and stared at
her. “Why. when was that?”
Mary said, in a hopeless sort of way, “1 don't know when, but long before
your time.”
“Before my lime, Mary? What, are you older than me?” And he smiled
sweetly on her.
“One would think not. But let me ask you a question, Mr. Hope?”
“Yes, Mary.”
“Have you lived two lives?”
Said Hope, solemnly, “I have lived through great changes, but only one
life.”
“Well, then,” said Mary,“I have lived two; or more likely it was one life, only some of it in another world—my other world. 1 mean.” Hope left off binding her wrist, and said, “I don't understand you.” Hut his heart began to pant. The words that passed between them ’ were now so strange that both their voices sank into solemnity, and had an acute observer listened to them he would have noticed that these two mellow voices had similar beauties, and were pitched exactly in the same key, though there was. of course, an octave between them “Understand me? How should you? It is all so strange, so mysterious: I have never told a soul; but 1 will tell you. You won’t laugh at me?” “Laugh at you? Only fools laugh at what they don’t understand. Why Mery, 1 hang on every word you say with breathless interest.” “Dear Mr. Hopei Well, then. I will tell you. Sometimes in the silent night, I when the present does not glare at one, ! the past comes back to me dimly, and I I
She paused.
“And the kind voice beside me said; “•Marling:' Papa never calls me ‘dar-
ling.’ ”
“Yes, yes,” whispered Hope, almost
panting.
% “'Darling, we must go with them to some other land, for we are poor.’” She paused and thought hard. “Poor we must have been; verv poor. I can see that nowthat I am rich. She paused and thought hard. “But all was peace and love. There were two of us, yet
we seemed one.”
Then in a moment Mary left the past, her eves resigned the film of thought, and shone with the lustre of her great heart, and she burst at once into that simple eloquence which no hearer of hers from John Baker to William Hope ever resisted. “Ah! sweet memories, treasures of the past, why are you so dim and wavering, and this hard world so clear and glaring it seems cut out ol stone? Oh, if I had a fairy's wand. I'd say, ‘Vanish fine house and servants— Vanish wealth and luxury and strife; and you come back to me. sweet hours of peace—and poverty—and love.’ ” Her arms were stretched out with a grace and ardor that could embellish even eloquence, when a choking sob struck her ear. She turned her bead swiftly, and there was William Hope, his hands working, his face convulsed, and the tears running down his cheeks
like the very rain.
It was no wonder. Think of it! The child he adored, yet had parted with to save her from dire poverty, remembered that sad condition to ask for it back again, because of his love that made it sweet to her after all these years of comfort. And of late he had been jeal ous, and saw, or thought, he had no great place in her heart, and never should have. Ah, it is a rarity to shed tears of joy! The thing is familiarly spoken of, but the truth is that many pass through this world of tears and never shed one such tear. The few who have shed them can congratulate William Hope for this blissful moment after all ha had done and suffered. Hut the sweet girl who so surprised that manly heart, and drew those heavenly tears, had not the key. She was shocked, surprised, distressed. She burst out cryiiigdirectly from blind womanly sympathy;and then she took herself to task. “Oh, Mr. Hope! what have 1 done? Ah! 1 have touchedsomeehord of memory. Wicked, selfish girI,todistress you with my dreams.” “Distress me!” cried Hope. “These tears vou have drawn from me are pearls of memory and drops of balm to my sore, tired heart. I, too, have lived and struggled in a by-gone world. I had a lovely child; she made me rich in my poverty, and happy in my homelessness. She left me ’ “Poor Mr. Hope!" “Then I went abroad, drudged in foreign mines, came home and saw my child again in you. I need no fairy's wand to revive the past; you are my fairy—your sweet words recall those In - gone scenes; and wealth, ambition, ail I live for now, vanishes into smoke. The years themselves roll hack, and all is once more peace—and poverty—and )nvi‘ " “Dear Mr. Hope!” said Mary, and put her forehead upon his shoulder. After a while she said, timidly, “Dear Mr. Hope, now I feel I can trust you with anything ” Then she looked down in charming confusion. “My reminiscences—they are certainly n great mystery. Hut I have another secret to contide to you, if I am permitted.” “Is the consent of some other person necessary?” “Not exaetlv necessary, Mr. Hope.” “Hut advisable.” Mary nodded her head. “Then take your time,” said Hope. He took out li'is watch, and said: “I want to go to the mine. My righthand man ;. j>..rlo that a ruffian has been caught lighting Ids pine in the most dangerous part after due warning. I must stopthatgame at once.orwe shall have a fatal accident. Hut I will be back in half an hour. You can rest in my office if you are here lirst. It is nice and cool.” Hope hurried away on his errand.and Mary was still looking after him, when she heard horses’ feet, and up came Walter Clifford, escaped from his father. He slipped off his horse directly at sight uf Mai \. and they came together like steel and magnet. “Oh, Walter,” said Mary, “we are not so unfortunate as we were just now. We have a powerful friend. Where are you going iu such hurry?” “That is a good joke. Why, did you not order me to the lakes?” “Oh yes, for Julia's bracelet. I forgot all about that.” “Very likely; but it is not my business to forget your orders.” “Dear Walter! Hut, .dearest, things
of more importance have happened since then. We have been insulted. Oh, how we have been insulted!” “That we have,” said Walter, sternly. “And nobody knows the truth.” “Not yet.” “And our secret oppresses me—torments me—degrades me.” "Fray don’t say that.” “Forgive me. "I can't help saying it. I feel it so bitterly. Now, dear! I will walk a little way with you. and tell vou what I want you to do this very day; and you will he a darling, as you always are. and consent." Then Mary told how Mr. Hope had just shown her singular affection; next she reminded him of the high tone Mr. Hope had taken with her father in their hearing. “Why,"said she,“there is some mysterious compact about me between papa and him. I don’t think I shall ever nave the courage to ask him alKiut that compact, for then I must confess that I listened; but it is clear we can depend upon Mr. Hope, and trust him. So now, dear, I want you to indulge your little wife, and let me take Mr. Hope into our confidence." To Mary’s surprise and disappointment, Walter’s countenance fell. "I don’t know,” said he. after apause. “Unfortunately it's not Mr. Hartley onlv that’s against us.” “Well, but, dear,” said Mary, “the more people there are against us, the more we need one powerful friend and champion. Now you know Mr. Hojie is a man that everybody loves and respects. even your father.” Walter just said, gloomily, “I see objections, for all that; but do as you please.” Mary's tender heart and loving nature couldn’t accept an unwilling assent. She turned her eves on Walter a little reproachfully. "That's the way to make me do what you please.” “I don't itilenu it so,” said Walter. “When a husband and wife love each other as we do, they must give in to each other.” “That's not what we said at the altar.” “Oh. the marriage service is rather one-sided. 1 promised very different tilings to get you to marry me, and I mean to stand by them. If you me impatient at all of this secrecy, tell Mr. Hone.” “I can’t now,” said Mary, a little bitterly. “Why not. since I consent?” “An unwilling consent is noconsent.” “Mary, you are too tyrannical. How caul downright like a tiling I don't like? I yield my will to yours; there's a certain satisfaction in that. 1 really can say no more.” “Then say no more,” said Mary, almost severely. “At all events give me a kiss at parting.” Mary gave him that directly, but it was not a warm one. He galloped away upon his errand, and as she paced slowly back toward Mr. Hope's office she was a good deal put out. What should she say to Mr. Hope now? She could not defy Walter s evident wishes, and make a clean breast of the matter. Then she asked herself what was Walter's objection; she couldn't conceive why he was afraid to trust Mr. Hope. It was a perfect puzzle to her. Indeed this was a most unfortunate dialogue between her and Walter, for it set her mind speculating and guessing at Walter's mind, and thinking all man ner of things just at the moment when an enemy, smooth as the old serpent, was watching for an opportunity to make mischief and poison her mind. Leonard Monckton, who had long been hanging about, waiting to catch her alone, met her returning from Walter Clifford, and took off Ins hat very reBpectfully to her, and said“Miss Bartley, I think." Mary lifted her eyes,and sawan elderly man with a pale face and dark eyebrows and a cast of countenance quite unlike that of any of ber friends. His face repelled her directly, and she said, verv coldly; “Yes, sir; but I have not the pleasure of knowing you." And she quietly passed on. Monckton affected not to see that she was declining to communicate with him. He walked on quietly, and said: “And I have not seen you since you were a child, but I had the honor of knowing your mother.” “You knew my mother, sir?” “Knew her anil respected her.” “What was she like, sir?” “She was tall, and rather dark, not like you.” “So I have heard,” said Mary. “Well, sir,” said she, for his voice was ingratiating. and had modified the effect of ids criminal countenance, “as you knew my mother, you are welcome to me.” The artist in deceit gave a little sigh, and said,“That's more than I dare hope. For I am here upon a most unpleasant commission; but for my respect for your mother I would not have undertaken it, for really my acquaintance with the other lady is but slight.” Mary looked a little surprised at this rigmarole, and said, ‘Hnt lids commission. wliat is it?” “Miss Hartley,” said he, solemnly, vet gravely. "1 have been requested to'warn you against a gentleman who is deceiving vou.” “Who is that?” said Mary, cn her guard directlv. "Ii is a Mr.'Walter Clifford.” “Walter Clifford:” said Mary. “You are a slanderer; he is incapable of deceit. The rogue pretended to brighten nn. “Well. 1 hope so," said he. "and I told the lady as m...'h; he <• cues from a mosi honorable stock. So then he h is io'd you about Lm y Mouektnn?” “Lucy Monckton!” cried Mary. “No; ; .i. ..*>*» M A > W 1 ,0 a , 4 | « , “Miss Bartlcv,” said the villain, verv gravely and solemnly, “she is Ids wife.'" "His wife, sir?” cried Mary, contemptuously—“his wife? You must he mad. I'll hear no more against him behind his bark." Th ui. threatening her i irmentor: “He Mill bo home again tlrievening; he has only ridden to the Lake Hotel; you shall repeat this to his face, if you dare.” “It will be my painful duty," said the serpent, meekly. “His wife!" raid Mary,scornfully,but her lips trembLd. “His wife." replied Monckton.calmly; “a respectable woman whom, it seems, lie has inserted these fourteen years. My acquainiaiice with her is slight, but she is in a good position, and. indeed, wcultiiv, and has never troubled him. However, she heard somehow he was i ourting you. and as 1 ol'.en visit Derby "peii bu.ittic.-o, ohe icqtiesied me to come ovf r here and warn you in time.” “And do you think.”sail'Mary. s'onifnliv, “l shall believe this from"a sti anger?” “Hardly," said Monckton, with every appearance of candor. "Mrs. Walter Clifford directed me to sl ow you his maiTiage certificate and hers.” “The m.image certificate!" cried Mary, turning pale. "Yes,” said Monckton; “they were married at._the_ Registry Qtjiee on the
1 inn June isiis," ana lie put his hand In his breast nocket to search for the certificate. He took this opportunity to l say, “You must not fancy tliat there is any jealousy or ill feelingafter fourteen years' desertion, but she felt it berduty as a woman ” “The certificate!” said Mary—“the
certificate!”
He showed her the certificate; she read the fatal words, “Walter Clifford.” The rest swam before her eyes, and to her the world seemed at ah end. She heard, as iu a dream, the smooth voice of the false accuser, with a world of fictitious sympathy, “I wish 1 had never undertaken this business. Mrs. Walter Clifford doesn't want to distress you; she only felt it her duty to save you. Don't give way. There is no great harm done, unless you were to be deluded in-
to marrying him.”
“And wiiat then?” inquired Mary,
trembling.
Monckton appeared to be agitated at
this question.
“Oh. don’t speak of it,’’said lie. “You would be ruined for life, and he would get seven years' penal servitude; and that is a sentence few gentlemen survive in the present day when prisons are slaughter-houses. " There. I have discharged the most disagreeable office lever undertook in my life; but at all
events you are warned in time.”
Then lie bowed most respectfully to tier, and retired, exhaling his pent-up
venom in a diabolical grin.
She, poor victim, stood there stupefied, pierced with a poisoned arrow, and almost in a state of collapse; then she lifted her hands and eyes for help, and saw Hope’s study in front of her. Everything swam confusedly before her; she did not kiiowforcertain whether he was there or not; she cried to that
true friend for help.
“Mr. Hope—I am lost—I p.m in the deep waters of despair—save mo oiicj
more, save me!”
Thus speaking she tottered into the office, ami sank nil limp and powerless into a chair, unable to move or speak, but still not insensible, and soon her brow sank upon the table, and her hands spread themselves feeblyout before her. It was all villainous spite on Monekton's part. He did not for a moment suppose that his lie could long outlive Walter Clifford's return; but he was getting desperate, and longing to stab them all. Unfortunately fate befriended the villain's malice, and the husband and wife did not meet again till that diabolical poison had done its
work.
Monckton retired, put off his old man's disguise behind the fir-trees.and went to ward anotherof his hiding-places, and enormous oak-tree which stood in the hedge of Hope's cottage garden. The subtle villain had made this hollow tree an observatory, and a sort of sallyport, whence he could play the fiend. The people at Hie hotel were, as Mary told Julia Clifford, very honest people. They showed Percy Fitzroy’s bracelet to one or two persons, and found it was of great value. This made them uneasy, lest something should happen to it under their charge; so the woman sent her husband to the neighborhood of Clifford Hall to try and find out if there was a lady of that name who huu left it. The husband was a simple fellow, very unfit to discharge so delicate a commission. lie went at first to the public-house; they directed him to the Hall, but he missed it. ami encountered a gentleman, whose quick eye fell upon the bracelet, for the foolish man had

“Let me see it.” said Mr. Hartley, for he was the gentleman, lie had come back in some anxiety to see whether Hope had pacified Mary, or whether he must exert himself to make matters smooth w ith her again. Whilst he was examining the bracelet, who should appear but Ferry Fitzroy, the owner. Not that he came after the bracelet: on the contrary, that impetuous young gentleman had discovered during the last two hours that lie valued Miss Clifford’s love a great deal more than all the bracelets in the world, for all that he wasdeliglited at the unexpected sight of his property. "Why, that's mine,” said he. “It's an heirloom. I lent it to Miss Julia Clifford, and when I asked her for itto-
dav she could not produce it.
“Oh! oh!” said Mr. Hartley. “What, do the ladies of the house of Clifford go
in for clandestine marriages?”
“Certainly not, sir.” said Fitzroy. “Don't you knowthe difference between a wedding ring and a bracelet?” Then he turned to the man, “Here's a sovereign for your trouble, my man. Now
give me my bracelet.”
To his surprise the hotel-keeper put it behind his back instead of giving it
to him.
“Nay.” said iu, sin king Ids head knowingly, "you are not ilie gentleman that spent the honeymoon w ith the lady as owns it. My mistress said I was not to give it into ho hands but hers.” This staggered Fercv dreadfully, and he looked from on» to another to" assist him in solving the mystery. Hartley came to the assistance of his understanding, but with no regard to Hie feelings of Ins heart. “It's clear enough w iiat it means, sir; your sweetheart is playing you false.” That went through the true lover's heart like a knife, and poor little Fcrcy leaned jn despair against Hone's workshop window transfixed by the poisoned arrow of jealousy. At this Lioiuciit Ine voice of Colonel Clifford was heard, loud and ringing as usual. Julia Clifford had decoyed iiim there in hopes of falling in with Fcrcy and making it up: and to deceive the good Colonel as to her intentions she had been running him down all the way; so the Colonel was heard to say in a voice for all the village to hear. “Jealous is he, and suspicious? Then you take mv advice mid give him npat nnee. Yon will easily find a lietter man and a bigger.” After delivering this, like the word of command upon parade, the Colonel wnis crossing (he turf,a yard or two higher up than Hope's workshop, when the spirit of revenge moved Hartley to retort upon Ids insulter. “Hy, Colonel Clifford!” The Colonel instantly haired, and marched down with Julia on his arm. like a game-cock when another rooster
