Yon 8llly Mande, do you forget that it most be twenty years (rtnee maiuma saw Mr. Rupert Brrfngtont Whlit are you thinking about T''
Mande opened her blue «9Nw widely, oohred a little, and then, .with an air «f resignation, folded her hands in her lap* and lay back in her seat, ..
What have I been thinking ahont? Yon need not ask. ,Vw usual, I have been talklux too tost, and you good people have enJoyed hearing m*f make myself ridiculous, Mr. Erriogton, you 11 plcaae remember that all communications ward makes to her guardian are In confidence. If you repeat my foolish spewhes to yonr son. my dlsplcjtsure will be something avrful. is Mr. Kn
inert now at i«wanKST 1 believe so: I am not sure. In hw last letter he said something about driving over from Oxford with his friend W ilfml Hayle, and being at home to meet ua. But young men are apt to b£ fickle In their reaolve*.
Mande hemmed. The presence of a handsome collegian at Lfebaaks would oertalnly make the quiet country-hense much more lively ana agreeable than it promised to be with only a middle-aged widower to bear her company.
Katie and I would both feel very nncomfortable If our stay at your bonne caused Mr. Rupert to avoid his home." "Nay, why should itt I hope my dear wards will soon leam to ^regard ine tether: and Rupert shfeil be a brother to tinrttt
Thank rou, Mr. Krrii»gton," said Katie, *lButMaude was silent. She was trying to remember whetherany of&er female friends had brothers who were not bores, and site could not. It was decidedly a different kind of affection from a brotherly one that she liked to inspire in the yw®en wito whom *he caine in contact mm! this Rupert Erringtott would do as ipUaitet mi she nod made act jualntancos In Harford, and gat tiered a court about her.
But to her guardian's evident disappointment, his son was not at lieabanks when they arrived. Mlliy Raymond stood alone in uie deep porch when the party alighted, a little weary and depressed with her endeavors to bring the neglected rooms Into order, and induce the stubborn and half-in-ebriated cook to set a decent dinner before the travelers. She was so utterly unlike the prim spinster Maude had pie tared her^Ojat the young lady was nbaalied^and could scarcelv reply to her greeting. But brown-
Sr.
ed Katie, after one look into the face of Errlngton's housekeeper, stole an arm round her neck, and kissed her as she had never kissed any one but her dead mother.
Bnt the young girls felt a little subdued for the first hour or two after their arrival. They were still suffering from a loss that pressed upon them keenly at momenta when they were compelled to realize that their futam mint be spent amongst strangers: and that the dear maternal Wend on wheat they had hitherto leaned must be replaced by others, who might not deal aa tenderly and faithfully by her children as she had done. ..
But when, after dinner was over, they all gathered mind the fire in the drawingroom, warmed and refreshed, Maude's naturally high spirit* began to rise again, and her curiosity too. "Miss Raymond, I am referred to yon for all the information I shall reanire rwmeefcIng Barford. What sort of a place Is it?" "The town Is small, and the houses oldCashioned," Milly began. *Ah1 yes ana It has a chnrch, And a «hapel or two, and lots of pnbllo-htonses. 1 bavegnessed all that.

Uft tether looked pleased at his praises. I am glad that you like them so well. Maude expressed a fear that their presence here would drive you away. But If I did for a moment share in the notion, it has vanished now. Yon have plenty of confidence, Master Ru, to make yourself at home with two demoiselles at your first reacwUre.",
Rupert laughed and reddened a Uttle. I was nervous enough, I assure yon, when I first entered the house. And if I had been exposed to the ordeal of a formal introduction, you would not ha vesaid much for my impudence but I came Into the room at an auspicious moment, and In making myself useful, forgot to be bashful.

Excellent and so is her sister, though she cares less aboutit. Their own horses came down by rail some time to-day."

Mr. Errlngton looked grave and dubious. What do you oall a high figure,ray boy? I never like to deny you anything but—-"
Enough said, sir. I'm not such a child as to cry for a toy that's too expensive for me besides, there's worse horses than the old chestnut, though his best days are over. Now don't knit your brows, and look so troubled, father," he added, affectionately. "Sit down and nave a weed with me, and well talk aboht something else." '•You shall have the mare, Rupert. I have some money by me intended for another purpose but that can be postponed."
But Rupert bit his lip and looked more pained than gratified.

Errlngton winoed. The subject was such an unpleasant one,, that hitherto he had contrived to evade it but, with his son's eyes questioning him so closely, how could he refuse to reply

CHAPTER IV\ ,! AT THB "W.UK SOAK.**
Christmas was clese at hand. Krosts bad set in, and nipping weather chilled the blood, when the landlord of the only inn that a village a few miles from Barford could boast was roused from a snooze beside his own bar-room fire, by the tidings that a carriage bad stopped at the door, and he was being loudly asked for.
Carriage-customers were qlmost unheard of In this out-of-the-way place, and mine host, still half asleep, snatched np a flaring, tallow candle, and stumbled to the door.
Ills readier wife was there before htm, holdlngsotne brandy to the lips of a gentleman, who sat, or rather lay. in the bandsome vehicle, writhing In the agonies of some internal disease but though scarcely violent (ting —.— —, rjjed him to permit himself to be carried Into the house.
To—" he gasped, meaning a town ten miles away. "Take me thert*—there—to the 'Griffin Hotel:' it is tlie only decent oae."
The effort of saying this was too much for him. with a deep groan, he slid off the seat, and lay In a heap beneath |t, so ghastly and senseless, that the woman shrieked out: jje js dead
No, he isn't," said the more self-possessed valet. "I have seen him In this state before, though not so bad. He was as well as usual when we started but he quarreled with the landlady at the hotMe where we dined, and that has upset him. 1 should like to know what I had better do
Have a doctor, of course. The poor gentleman mustn't lie here and die." Is there one handy Fetch him. then, some of you, and thesi all tlie responsibility will tw taken off my shoulders. If he says Mr. Durrani isnt fit to travel any further, I cannot be blamed Iter staying here." a you?"
Who should blame you?" asked the landlord, speaking for the first time. The valet shrugged his shoulders.
Friend, this master of mine hasa temper, and those that don do precisely as he says, don't stop long in his service. When he comee to his senses, he's as likely as not to abuse and perhaps discharge me for stopping here instead of taking him to as he bade me, even though I should have to chance his dying on the road."
He must be a nice gentleman to live with," whispered one of the bystanders who had gathered round. "He pays Veil," his servant dryly answered and no more Was said till the sufferer had been carefully 1 Ifted from tho carriage, and laid on the old-fashioned si in the landlady's own parlor.
From thence, by order of the Village apothecary, who shook hW head and looked grave over the case, his still-insensible pauent was removed to the only decent bedchamber the "Blue Boar" contained. When tlie worst symptoms had abated, and a sedative had thrown hint into a heavy sleep, he was left to the care of an old woman, who waaconsidered skillful at nursing white the doctor requitted himself lor his trouble, and the loss of a coxy evening at his own fircalde, by smoking a pipe and sipping a goblet of brandy-and-watcr with the invmHd'a valet In the parlor below.
The later was very oommunkatlve, enjoying tlie Importance of holding forth to the select audience admitted Into the landlady's tntutum. Ills master's name, he Mild, was Durrant—Mr. Augustus Drrrrant, of Heydon Mount, Dorsetshire, and Park Lane, London. He was immensely wealthy a bachelor, and an eccentrio one. He was reputed to have bpen very gay in his youth, and was •tin a devoted admirer or theteir sex,althongh the complimentary speeches which he prided himself on making with the grace and gallantry of a Chesterfield, wereofun marred by the tone of irony in which they were oouched.
