Mr. Errington's errand vfM quickly explained to John Raymond, who heard It without comment, though his sister noticed that he listened with a compression of his lips, as if something connected with it displeased him. "There's no fly to be had to-night, Milly," he said, when Mr. Errington hud ridden away. "So wrap yourself up well, and we will walk. A breath of the olear, frosty air will do me more good than listening to the Billy nothings of Georgie's visitors," "But Georgie might be vexed at your absence and a servant could take me, Milly objected.

"Speak mere respectfully of my employer, unless you wish to offend me his sister retorted, half in jeat, half in earnest. "lam quite ready to endorse the first part of your speech.

He will run to such extremes, why oouid he not content himself with going to see Mr. Durrant, and sending him anything he stands Iri need of

And

Mr. Durrant drew his hand

across his brow.

"You

forget," he added,

on seeing hia auditor's look of astonishment. "that I am a man of social tastes, and prefer to live in a crowd. The solitude you like would drive me mad. I could not endure a house peopled by such memories as yours must be. My sleep would be haunted with visions of drowning men, shrieking for help perhaps clinging to me, with their wild eyes looking into nune, and the wet tangles of their hair coiling about lay fingers. Oh! horrible!—horrible!"

Scarcely less agitated than the speaker, Mr. Errington rose from the chair he bad taken, and walked to the window, where he stood till he could command his voice sufficiently to speak with calmness.

Your illness ailtects your nerves, or you would not be seized with such fancies. My poor Olympia would have been the first to welcome you to our house, and would have nursed you herself so pray do not connect her name with such unpleasant ideas. It pains me to hear you do so."

I beg your pardon I forgot that you have carried your grief to such lengths as to remain unmarried in order to indulge It," sneered Mr. Durrant. "Not that I blame you for this. Matrimony must have its bitters, even at the first trial: but if a second wife comes on the field, the man who has wedded her must either be a hypocrite or a fool a hypocrite, if he pretends to love her beat a fool, if he lets her see that he still regrets her predecessor. Am I not right? "I really cannot say: I have never studied the question. Having Rupert to love and care for, I have been resigned to my loneliness." «0h! I have no patience with that word rttrigntd, especially when I hoar it in the mouth of a man who has abilities if he knew how to use them.

He reads my heart!" Mr. Erringtow mentally avowed, with a deep sigh. "I cannot disguise from myself that the tidings I heard from him have made me oovet his riches for my boy. Rupert Is worthy to possess them he has more energy—more brilliant talents than I evlnoed to my palmiest day*. Must they always be obscured by straitened means?"

Maude Lesden, with a bewitching little hood drawn over her head, ran into the hall to meet her guardian, soon as he arrived. "Alone!" she cried. "Is not your relative coming here? I dont know whether I am glad or sorry but, on second thoughts, I believe I am seriously displeased. I might have been enjoying my beauty-sleep, if I hadut renounced it for the doubtful satteffcetion ranking myself useful."

Don't believe her, Mr. Errington," said Katie, who, with Miss Raymond, now emerged from the cosy sittingroom. Not ten minutes ago we eaught her napping in yonr study, where she had volunteered to ge and make up the fire," it's a vile calumny!" was the gay re"I only closed my eves to preshr

Mr. Durrant may be too ill to come here," her sister reminded her.

Mr. Errington briefly explained that the invalid shrunk from the fiitigu© of a removal but he felt too much out of communicative, and, spirits to bo very communicative, ana, seeing this, M*uae and Katie bade him good-night.

They were net at all sorry that their pleasant circle would not receive the addition of a querulous invalid, especially ustas they were looking forward to a 'little additional ga.ety, in honor of the season. Nor did Milly Raymond regret that she was not to be brought into contact with a man of whose character she had formed such an unfavorable imprds-

She brought a little table close to the arm chair Mr. Errington had drawn to the hearth, plaecd on it a plato of tho delicate biscuits of her own making, that he liked, with a silver mug of mulled wine, and then bade him good-night.

He started from the reverie into which he had fallen, to answer her. "Good-night, Miss Raymond. Forgive me if I do not seem as grateful for the trouble you have taken as I ought to be but I have been pained and mortified, and, if I must confess, disappointed to-night, and you must give me» little time to recover myselt"

Milly murmured a few soft, consoling words ere she left him nor, when she had shut herself in her chamber, could she resolve to go to rest as long as she knew that he was sitting brooding over the fire with that look of deep depression on his face that she had never seen there before. One hour—two elapsed yet still no sound of his footsteps ascending the stairs to his own apartment greeted her ear.

Patiently as he had borne with Mr. Durrant, he had not found it easy to forthe emotions awakened during the .„terviow. The allusions to bis dead wife the sneering, heartless account of Art&ibald Durrani's domestic griefc and death wad the taunting, insulting Insinuations that he—Mr. Errington—was guided by the most mercenary motives, had agitated and excited him to a degree, that made him grow angry with himself fcwr suffering t& .eevi& speeches of sick man to aftect liim so l°ng.,
