“And what can you have to sayto me, sir?'’ was his haughty inquiry. “To take you down a peg. You rode the high horse pretty hard to-day. The spotless honor of the Cliffords, eh?” Then, of course, it was fixed bayonets and no quarter. “Have the Cliffords ever dabbled in trade or trickery? Coal merchants, coal heavers, and coal whippers may defile our fields with coal dust and smoke, but thev cannot defile our honor." “The men are brave as lions, and the women are chaste as snow?” snecied

Hartley.

"I don’t know about lions and snow. I have often seen a lion turn tail, and the snow is black slush wherever you are. But the Cliffords, being gentlemen. are brave, and being ladies, are

chaste.”

‘ Oil, indeed!” hissed Hartley. “Then how conies it that your niece there— whose name is Miss Clifford, I believe —spent what this good man calls a honeymoon, with a young gentleman, at this good man's inii?” Here the good man in question made a faint endeavor to interpose, but the gentlefolks by their impetuosity completely suppressed him. “IPs a falsehood!” cried Julia,haughti- ’ “You scurrilous cad!” roared the Colonel. and shook his staff at him, and seemed on the point of charging him. But Bartlev was not to be put down this time, lie snatched the bracelet from the man. and held it up in triumph. “And left this bracelet there to prove it was no falsehood.” Then Julia got frightened at the evidence and the terrible nature of the accusation. “Oh!” cried she, in great distress, “can any one here believe that I am a creatine so lost? I have not seen ihe bracelet these two months. I lent it—to—ali, here she is! Mary, save me from shame; you know I am innocent." Mary, who was standing at the win dow in Hope's study, came slowly forward. pale as death with her own trouble. to do an act of womanly justice. “Miss Clifford,” said she. languidly, as one to whom all human events were comparatively indifferent—“Miss Clifford lent the bracelet to me, and I left it at that man's inn.” This she said right in the middle of them ali. The hotel-keeper took the bracelet from the unresisting hand of Hartley, touched his hat, and gave it to tier. “There, mistress,” said lie. *T could have told them you was the lady, but they would not let a poor fellow get a word in edgeways.” Ileretired with an obeisance.

Mary handed the bracelet to Julia,

and then remained passive.

A dead silence fell upon them all.and

a sort of horror cn pt over Mary Hartley at what must follow: but come what might, no power should induce her to say the word that should send Walter

Clifford to jail for seven years. Hartlev came to her; stie trembled,

ami her hands worked.

"What are yon saving, you fool?” lie whispered. '“The lady that left the bracelet was there with' a gentleman.”

Mary winced.

Then Hartley said, sternly, “Who was

your companion?” “I must not say.”

“You will say one thing.” said Hartley. “or I shall have no mercy on you.

Are you secretly married?”

Then a single word Hashed across Mary's almost distracted mind—.*7/-

sun iflir. She held her tongue.

“Can't you speak? Are you a wife?” He now began to speak so loud in Ids

anger that everybody hoard it.

Mary crouched a little and worked tier hands convulsively under the torture. but she answered with such adoggedness that evidently she would have let herself be cut to pieces sooner than

said more.

"I—don’t—know.”

“You don't know?” roared Hartley. Mary paused.and then, with ironiiog-

gedness. “I—don't know."

This apparent insult to his oommonsense drove Hartley almost mad. “You have given these cursed Cliffords a triumph over me,” lie cried; “you have brought shame to my door; but it shall never pass the threshold.” Here the Colonel uttered a contemptuous snort. This drove Hartley wild altogether; he rushed at the Colonel,and shook his fist in his face. “You stand there sneering at my humiliation; now see the example I can make." Then he was down upon Mary in a moment, and literally yelled at her in his fury. “Go to vour paramour, girl; go where you 'will. Y«.u never enter my door again.” And he turned his back furiously upon her. This terrible denunciation overpowered poor Mary’s resolution; she clung to him in terror. “Oh, mercy, mercy, papa! I’ll explain to yuu, have pity on

your child!”

Hartley flung her so roughly from him that she nearly fell. “You are my

chdd no more.”

Hut at that moment in strode William Hope, looking-seven feet high, and his eyes blazing. “Liar and hypocrite.” lie roared, "she never teas t/our chihl!” Then, changing to a tone or exquisite love, and stretching out both ids hands to

Mary, “She is mine!”

Mary, being now lie tween the two men, turned swiftly first to one, then to the other, and with woman's infallible eve knew her own flesh and blood in that half-moment. She littered a cry of love and rapture that went througn every heart that heard it; and she flung herself in a moment upon her father's

bosom.

lie wldrled her round like a feather on to Ids right arm, then faced both her enemies. Clifford and Hartley, with haughty defiance, head thrown back, and eyes that flashed black lightning in defense of his child.

CHAPTER XVII. LOVER’S QUABBEL8. It was a living picture. The father protecting Ids child like an eagle: Hartley cooled in a moment, and hanging his head anart. gloomv and alarmed at the mail blunder rage had betrayed him into; Colonel Clifford amazed and puzzled, and beginning to see the consequences of all tins; Julia clasping hei hands in rapture and thrilling interest at so romantic an incident; Fitzroy beaming with delight at his sweetheart being cleared: and. to complete Ihe pictore, the villainous face of Leonard Monckton, disguised as an old man, showed itself fora moment sinister and gloomy; for now all hope of pecuniary advantage to him was gone, and nothtmz bn* revenge jyas on the cards, and

he could not sPe his way clear to that. Hut Hope was no posture-maker; he turned the next moment ami said a word or two to all present. “Yes. this is Grace Hope, my daughter. We were very poor and her life was in danger; I saw nothing else but that; my love was stronger than my conscience; I gave her to that man upon a condition which he has now broken, lie saved her life ami was kind to her. I thanked him; 1 thank him still, and I did my best to repay him. Hut now lie has trusted to appearances, and not to her: lie has belied and outraged htr publicly. Hut I am as proud of her as ever, and don’t believe appearances against her character and her angel face

ainl ”

“Xo more do I.” cried Julia Clifford, eagerly. “I know her. She’s purity itself, and a better woman than 1 shall

ever lie."

“Thank you, Miss Clifford.” said Hope, in a broken voice; “God bless you. Come, Grace, and share mv humble home. At all events, it will shelter you

from insult.”

And so the pair went lovingly away. Grace clinging to her father, eomforicd for the moment, but unable to speak, and entered Hope's little cottage, it was but a stone's throw from where

they stood.

This broke up the party.

“Anil my house is yours,” said Colonel Clifford to Julia. “1 did not believe appearances against a Clifford.” With these words lie took two steps toward his niece and held out his arm. She moved toward him. Percy came forward radiant to congratulate her. She drew up witli a look of furious scorn that made him recoil, and she marched proudly away with her uncle. He bestowed one parting glance of contempt upon the discomfited Hartley, and inarched his niece proudly off, more determined than ever that she should be his daughter. But for once he was wise enough not to press that topic; tie let her indignation work alone. Moreover, though lie was a little wrong-headed aiul not a little pig-headed, he was a noble-minded man, and nothing noble passed him unobserved or unappreci-

ated.

“That Hartley's daughter!” said he to Julia. "Ay. when roses spring from dunghills, and eagles are horn of spar-row-hawks. Hrave girl!—hrave girl!” “Oh. uncle,” said Julia, “I am so glad you appreciate her!” “Appreciate her!” said the Colonel: “what should I be worth if I did not? Why, these are the women that win Waterloo in the persons of their sons. That girl could never breed a coward nor a cheat.” Then his incisive voice mellow ed suddenly. “Poory oung thing,” said he, with manly emotion, “I saw her come out of that room pale as death to do another woman justice. She's no fool, though that ruffian called her one. She knew what she was doing, yet for all her woman’ heart she faced disgrace as unflinchingly as if it was only death. It was a great action, a noble action, a just action, and a manly action, but done like a very woman. Where the two sexes meet like that one brave deed it’s grand. I declare It warms an old soldier's heart, and makes liim thank God there are a few creatures in the world that do humanity honor.” As the Colonel was a man that stuck to a topic win'll he got upon it. this was the main of his talk all the way to Clifford Hall. He even remarked to his niece that, so far as his observations of ex extended, great love of justice was not the leading feature of the female mind; other virtues he ventured to think were more prominent. “So everybody says,” was Julia's admission. “Everybody is right for once,” said the Colonel.

They entered the house together, and Miss Clifford went up to her room; there she put on a new bonnet and a lovely shawl, recently imported from Paris. Who could this he for? She sauntered upon the lawn till she found herself somehow near the outward hounilary, w here there was a gate leading into the Park. As she walked to and fro by tliis gate she observed, out of the tail of her eye of course, the figure of a devoted lover creeping toward her. 'Whether this took her by surprise or w hether the lovely creature was play ing the part of a beautiful striped spidet waiting for her lly, the reader must judge for himself. Percy came to the gate; she walked past him twice, coming and going wit! her eyes fixed upon vacancy. She passed hiin a third time. He murmured in a pleading voice;

"Julia!”

She neither saw nor heard, so attractive had the distant horizon become. Percy opened the gate, and came inside. and stood before herthe next tinu she passed. She started with nun “What do you want here?” said she.

“To speak to you.”

“How dare you speak tome aftei

your vile suspicions?” “Wei!, jiut. Julia ”

“How dare you rail me Julia?” “Well. Miss Clifford, won’t you ever

hear me?”

“Not a word. It's through you pool dear Mary and 1 have both been insulted bv that wretch of a father of hers.’'

“Which father:"

“I said wretch. To whom does that term apply except to Hartley, and’' (with sudden vigor) “to you.” “Then you think ! am .u bad as old, Hartley," said Percy, firing up.

"No, I don't.”

“Ah.” said Percy, glad to find there

was a limit.

Hut Julia explained: “I think you are n gmit deal worse. You pretend to love me. and yet without the slightest

reason you doubt me.”

“What did 1 doubt? I thought you had parted with tny bracelet to another person, and so you had. I neverdoubt-

ed your honor."

“()li yes. you did; I saw your face." “I am not r—r—responsible for mv

face.”

"Y’es, you are; you had no business to look broken-hearted, and miserable, and distrustful, and abuminable. ii was your business, face and all. to distrust appearances, and not me.” “Ap—pear—ances weie so strong that not to look ni—miserable would have been to seem indifferent; there is no love where there is no jealousy.” “Oh,” said Julia, “he has let that out at last, after denying it a hundred times Now I say there is no true love without resjieot and confidence, and this doesn't exist where there is jealousy, and all about a trumpery bracelet.” “Anything but tr- ump- ump—umpery; town from my ancestors." ‘‘You never had any; your behavior shows that.” “I tell you it is an heirloom. It was given to my mother by ” “Oh, we know all about that,” said Julia. “’This bracelet (tid an Egyptian to my mother give.’ Hut you are not going to play Othello with me." “I shouldn’t have a very gentle Desdemona.” “No, you wouldn’t,candidly.

“Say no more about it," said he, “and

I'll forgivi you."

“Forgive ine. you little wretch!" cried Julia. “Why, haven’t you the sense to see that it is’serious this time, and my patience is exhausted, and that our engagement is broken off, and 1 never mean to see you again -except when

you come to my wedding?”

“Your wedding!” cried Percy, turning

pale “With whom?”

“That's mv business; you leave that to me. sir. Holdout y<iur hand both bands; here is the ancestral bracelet— it shall pinch me no longer, neither my wrist nor my heart; here’s the broocn you gave me—I won’t he pinned to it any longer, nor to you neither; and there is your bunch of charms; and there is vour bundle of love-letters stupid ones they are;” and she crammed all the aforesaid treasures into Ids hands one after the other. So this was what she

went to her room for.

Percy looked down on his handful ruefully. “My very letters! There was no jealousy in them; they were full of

earnest love.”

“Fuller of bad spelling," said the relentless girl. Then she went into details: "You spell abominable with two m's—and that's ahommiuahle: you spell ridiculous with a k—and that's ridicktilous. So after this don't you presume to speak to me, for 1 shall never speak

to you again.”

“Very well, then.” said Percy. “I, too.

“Oil. I dare say.” said Julia; “a chat-

ter-hox like you.”

“Even chatter-boxes are silent in the grave.” suggested Percy; “and if we hit to part like this forever to-day, to-mor-

row I shall he no more.”

“Well, you could not be much less. 1 ' said Julia, but with a certain shamefaced change of tone that perhaps, ii Percy had been more experienced, might have given him a ray of hope. “Well,” said lie, "I know one lady that would not treat these presents with

quite so much contempt.”

"Oh. I have seen her.” said Julia, spitefully. ".She has been setting tiei cap at you for some time; it's Miss Susan Hockly—a tine conquest—great, fat,

red-haired tiling."

“Auburn.”

“Yes. all-burn, scarlet, carrots, flnmme d'enfer. Well, go and give her tny leavings, yourself and your ancestral-

paste.”

“Well,” said Percy, gloomily, “I might do worse. You never really loved me; you were always like an enemy looking out for faults. You kept postponing our union for something to happen to break it ntT. Hut 1 won't be any woman's slave; I’ll use one to drive out the other. None of you shall trample oil me.” Then lie burst forth singing. Nobody stammers when he sings.

This resolute little gentleman passed through the gate as he conelmled the verse, waved Ids hand jauntily by wav of everlasting adieu, ami w ent off whistling the refrain with great spirit, and

both hands in Ids pockets.

“You impudent!” cried Julia, almost choking; then, anthoritativelv,"Percy— Mr. Fitzroy;” then, coaxingly, “Percy

Percy heard, and congratulated him-

Percy retired red as fire, and one his cheeks retained that high color

APOLOGIES.

We must now describe the place to which Hope conducted his daughter, and please do not skin our little description. It is true that some of our gifted contemporaries paint Italian scenery at prodigious length a propa* <lr hottrs and others show in many pages that the rocks and the sea are picturesque objects, even w hen irrelevant. True that others gild theeveningclouds and the w estern horizon merely to please the horizon and the clouds. But we

hold with Pope that

“The proper study of mankind Is innn," and that authors' pictures an bores, except as narrow frames to Ing incidents. The true model, we think, fora writer is found in the opening lines of “Marmion.” where the castle at even-tide, its yellow lustre, its drooping banner, its mail-clad warders reflecting th*western blaze, thetrampof the sentinel, and his low-hummed song, are flung on paper witli the liroiul and telling touch of Iluheiis. not from tin irrelevant nduiiraiinii of old castics and the setting sun. tint because the human figures of 'he story are riding up to that sun-gilt •astle to make it a set no of great words

md deeds.

Even so, though on a much humbler vale, we describe Hope's cottage and garden, mere!;, hccausi it was foi a monentortwo the scene of a remark.ible ncident never yet presented in history

or fiction.

This cottage, then, was iti reality lomething hetweena villaand a cottage; t resembled a villa in this, that the •ooms were lofty, and the windows verc ea.-emenls, glazeil witli pkite ..la-s nnd very large. Walter (’liiTord had built it for a eurute, wh.i prou d a bud of passage, and the said Walter had a horror of low rooms, for he said. “I nl w ays feel as if the ceiling was going to flatten me to the floor." Owing to this the hod-room windows, which looked westward on ltie garden, were a gre it height from the ground, and tire build-

ing li P.d a Gothic character.

Still there was much to justify the term cottage. The door, which looked southward on the road, was at the side of the building, and opened, not into a hall, bnl into the one iargesitling-room. which was thirty feet long and twentyfive feet broad, and instead M a plastei ceilin'' there were massive joists, which Hope had gilded and painted till they were a sight to behold. Anothercottagi

ttie rest of the boundary was a quickset hedge, in the western division of which stood an enormous oak-tree, hollow a; the back. And the garden was fair w ith humble flowers—pinks, sweet-williams, crimson nasturtiums, double daisies, lilies, and tulips; but tlower-liedsshared t lie garden with friendly cabbages, potatoes, onions. carrots, and asparagus. To this iiuintitc but pleasant abode Hope conducted his daughter, and in■sisted upon her lying down on the sofa in ttie sitting-room. Then he ordered the woman who kept the house for him to prepare the spare bed-room, which looked into the garden, and to cut some of the sweet-smelling flowers. He himself had nuieh to say to ids daughter, and. above all. to demand tier explanation of the awkward circumstancesthat had been just revealed. But she had received a great shock, and. like most nianlv men, lie had a great consideration for ttie weakness of women, and Ids paternal heart said. “Let her have an hour or two of absolute repose tiefore 1 subject her to any trial w hatever.” Si lie opened the window to give tier air, enjoining tier most strictly not to move, and even to go to sleep if siie could; and then he put on Ids shooting coat, with large inside pockets, to go and buy tier a little wine—a thing tie never touched himself—and w hat other humble delicacies the village afforded, lie walked briskly away from his door without the least’idea that all hismovenients were watched from a hidingplace upon his own premises, no other than the great oak-tree, hollow and open at the hack, in vhicli Leonard Monckton had bored two peep-holes, and was now ensconced there watching

him.

Hope had not gone many yards from his own door when lie was confronted by one of those rutlians who, by their way of putting it, are the eternal butt of iniquitous people and iniquitous tilings, namely.honest men. curse them! and the law. confound it! This was tio other than that Ben Burnley, who, being a miner, had stuck half-way between Devonshire and Durham, and had been some months in Hartley's mine. He opened on Hope in a loud voice, mid dialect which w e despair of convey ing witli absolute accuracy. “Mr. Hope, sir, they won't let’me go

down f mine.”

“No; vou're discharged.”

“Who by?” “Bv me.”

“What for?”

“For smoking in the mine, in spite of

three warnings.”

"Me smoking in f mine! Who telt

you yon lie?”

“Y'ou were seen to pick the lock of your Davy-lamp, and that put the mine ii danger. Then you were si i n to light your pipe at the bare light, and that put

;t in worse peril.”

“That's a lie. What rank's ver believe my skin's nowt to me? It's all me as it is to them liars that would rob ne of my bread out of clean spite.” “It's the truth, nnd proved by four lonest witnesses. There are a hundred md fifty men and twenty poii;i s in that nine, and their lives must not he sacriiced by one two-legged brute that won't rear reason. You are discharged and paid; so lie pood enough to quit ttie premises and find work elsewhere; and Lord help your employer, whoever he

is!”

Hope would waste no more time over tills fellow. He turned his hack, and went off briskly cm bis more important errand. Burnley shook his list : t him, and discharged a volley of horrible curses after him. Whilst he was thus raging after the man that had done hisdutv helit aril a satirical chuckle. He turned his head, and. behold! there was the sneering face ot liis fellow jail-bud Mom kton. Burnley started. “Yes. mate.” said Monckton, “it is me. And what sort of a pal arc you, that couldn't send me a word to Portland that you had dropped onto tliis rascal Hope? You knew I was after him. You might have saved me the trouble, you selfish brute.” Burnley submitted at once to the ascendency of Monckton; lie hung his head, and muttered “I am no scholard to write to folk.” “ You grudged a joey to a Woke to write for you. Now I suppose you expect me to be a good pal to you again, all the same?” “Why not?” said Burnley. “He is poison to you as well as to me. He gave you twelve years' penal; you told me so at Portland: let’s be revenged on him.” “What el:-'' do you think I am here for. you fool? But empty revenge, that's child's play. The question is, can you do what you are told?” “Ay. if 1 see a chance of revenge. Wiiv, ! always did what you told me.” “Very well, then; there's nothing ripe yet.” “ \ i r don’t mean I am to wait a vear for my revenge.” “You will have to wait an opportunity. Hevenge is like other luxuries, there's a time for it. Do you think I am such a fool as to go in for blindfold revenge, and get lagged or Gret'iied? Not for Joseph, nor for you. either, Benjamin, i ll tell you what, though, I think this w ill be a busy day. That old fox Hartley lias found out bN Wonder before now. and lie’ll try something on; then the Cliffords, theyWon't go to sleep on it." "1 don’t know wl’.atyer talking about," says Burnley. “liemain in your ignorance. Hen. The best instrument is a blind instrument; you shall lm\e your revenge soon or late.” “Let it lie soon then.” “In the meantime.” said Monckton, “have you got any money?” “< Jot my w ages’.” “That will do for you to-day. Goto Hie public-house and get half-drunk.” “Half-drunk?” “Half-drunk! Don't I speak plain?” “Miners.” said Burnley, candidly, "never get half-drunk in C'cmintv Dmhaui. They are that the best part of their time.*’ “Then you get half-drunk, neither more nor less, or I'll discharge you as Hope lias done, and that will be the worst discharge of the two for you.
