UN ENGLISH VENDETTA.

"Give me half the fortune your father $|ds'*inade out of my brains, and I'll hearyou," *s:| "I don't understand this. Did you not accept £5,000 for your invention? In fact, sir, I have seen letters of enthusiastic gratitude which you addressed to Sir Philip 'V at the forger! V\ "I di "i ery your father did, and he bought for that wretched sum an invention that has earned hint half a million. I say that I'll I-'*" have no help from you, Frederick Staymer. If I can hurt your father no other way, I'll starve, and my death vriil avenge me!" ,* "I cannot argrrift with this spirit, Mr.,

Keeley, and, if you alone were concerned, I should say no more. But you have a little daughter, I understand?" "Don't think of me, father. If you took a morsel of dry bread from them, it would choke me."

Young Staymer turned in astonishment he thought they two were alone in the miserable room. Upright by the window stood a slender girl, whose large eyes burned and tliin lips quivered with passionate excitement. He crossed the narrow floor, and seated himself on the small bed beside her. "My child," he said, "yon are terribly prejudiced agaiust us. Do I look a villain?" "No," she answered, sullenly, "but you came from your father." ••Ay," cried the sick man, "and go back to him! Tell him what you've seen. Give him my daughter's answer: 'if we took a morsel of dry bread from you or yours It would choke us." "Haveyou no kinder word?" Frederick asked the girl.

She did not answer. "Then I will leave you, Mr. Keeley," he said, rising. "Five thousand pounds will be deposited this afternoon at the Bank of England in your name and this young lady's, if you will give it me—to be hers in case of your death." "I refuse Hie name." "Well, probably I can do without It. But mark me, sir, this is no restitution, no acknowledgement of a claim. Sir Philip gives it in remembrance of his former association with you, as a sign of respect,for your great abilities and your ill success in life." "And I throw it back!" the dying man cried, rising, gaunt and ragged, on his mattress, eyes aflame and thin cheeks lit with the glow of fever. "I throw it back in his teeth—I wish it were Ave thousand pounds weight in gold! Have I asked anything from you or yours? I scorn you too deeply, I know you too well, and my wrongs ure too bitter. I accept no restitution in this world, Frederick Staymer, lest Is should be placed to your father's credit on high, and spare him one pang of the vengeance which a just Heaven will exact, Amen!" "Good-bye, little girl! "You know my name, and my address is easily found always. Remember that a fortune is waiting you at the Bank of England from this day. It would be useless to say more to you, Mr. Keeley, but I wish you well."

When Staymer had gone the child came across and kissed her father, nestling to him, but they did not speak for a long while. "I have done wrong, Amy." "No, no!" "Aye, I have, pet. It's a small thing for a man to bo brave and firm when he is doomed. But I should have thought of my daughter, as he said. A fraction of the mm which is my right would be comfort and happiness to you. I've ruined your life with my obstinacy." "Don't imagine such a thlug, father. What 1 said to the young man is truth— their money would choke mo!" "Ah! I began the mischief loug since. Heaven f«rgivo me! It's sad that a child of your ago should know the wickedness of men and cherish bitter feelings. But the money is there, safe in the Bank of England, When I'm gone, darling, your auut will take you to claim it I think she's honest, but trust no lawyer—don't trust her too far." "Father, I—" "I am tired, Amy. Kiss me now and let mo sleep till Jane comes. It will be wearisome to speak to her, aud this excitement has disturbed mo terribly."

Along kiss they exchanged, and the girl left him. She withdrew to her book at the window and read till the light failed then dropped asleep.

Theopeuingof the door aroused her. "Is that you, AunV Jane? Father's dozing," she whispered, "I can feel my way," a voice replied '"don't move." But the next moment a chair fell with a crash. "It's nothing, father," Amy cried. "Aunt Jane's come."

But there was no answer, and in breathless alarm she struck a match. The sick mau lay still. Amy ran to him. "Oh!. Aunt, aunt, come!" In the darkness they leaned over him. "My poor little girl, he's out of his trouble® now," Mrs. Dermot said, with rough tenderness. "I'll be a mother to you, so far as my poor means go."

It is needless to describe the scene. That night Amy was taken to her aunt's lodging, crowded with children already. Three days afterwards she attended her father's funeral.

When Sir Philip Staymer heard hls son's report, softened though it was, he fell Into passion. "I gave you my word, Fred, and I don't withdraw from It There is the check! But I knew how it would be, Keeley is a malignant fool, and always was. Did you show him his own letter in answer to this raving?" "He is in no condition to argue. Tt-s enough that our conscience is clear. Sir, aud that you can justify every part of your conduct if summoned." "But I'm sorry you didn't read him the letter which says that he had tried every means to launch Ids invention and would hand it over to me in tor a thousand pounds. With that offer before me, Fred, I gave the fellow five thousand, and now bo declares I swindled him." "I know the truth, bnt that was-a reason for not pressing it." "Well, take your check at once, or I may repent—the ungrateful assf* j,\ "I have it safe, sir." Fml answered, laughing. "Dldyonknow Keeley had a: daughter*" "I know nothing about his affairs. How old is she?" "Very much too young to justify the suspicion which I eee in your look, sir. A very pretty child of ten or thereabout,, and even more interesting than pfetty. I should like to feci that she was provided for, independent of her father.'*

"What! The settlement I have made is more than enough—five thousand pounds more than enough. One can see, young fellow, that you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. When you have earned as much money as that you won't listen as patiently as I do to a proposal for giving it away." "But look at my notion, sir. The settlement arranged is cash out of your pocket I only ask you to make me an advance —capitalizing two hundred a year out of the sum you kindly allow me." "How much is that?" "A thousand, I believe, sir." "I give you credit for an honest belief to that effect. But I had occasion to look through your accounts the other day, and I find that in the three years since you came of age I have paid, one way or another, very nearly seven thousand for you.'! "Bless my soul!" "I 'wUll show the figures. You see, if a monstrous absurdity to talk of deducting two hundred from your allowance. Besides, Fred, one should be reasonable in charity. I must refuse to do anything more."

The young man did not press his point. Conscious that even the large sum mentioned had gone in pocket money and defraying current debts, he was glad to drop the subject. This revelation astonished and shocked him. He resolved to ascertain his liabilities, to pay them off gradually. and to incur no more. But this determination applied to the future for the present Fred had no idea of abandoning his notion. He knew very well how to raise money, and within a week an additional live thousand was paid into the Bank of England for the sole benefit of James Keeley's daughter.

It was characteristic of the boy that Fred made

further inquiries. Return

ing from the bank on foot, he met a very humble funeral, and, in the sympathetic fashion learned abroad, lifted his hat carelessly. He did not look at the cab which followed that poor hearse. But a child therein saw him, and marked the unusual action. To her it seemed a mockery of the dead, a last insult of malice and wrong-doing towurd its victim. Against her will she had cherished a kindly sentiment toward Fred Staymer since that terrible day. It vanished. Amy was glad to think she had kept her secret, and no one knew the fortune lying in her name at the Bank of England.

In the years that followed these two lived as fate and circumstances decided.Staymer's regiment was ordered to India it was a chance of recovery from financial disasters and expensive habits, and Fred wished to proilt. by it. But Sir Philip, growing more feeble daily, could not bear to part witli his son, and he exchanged into the wealthiest and most desperate corps of plungers of the British service.

Amy passed four years with Mrs. Dermot, who kept a very small and very miscellaneous shop in aback street at Clapham. She looked after the children, and did more than her share of the housework, as the unchivalrous customs of women exact from a girl relative sheltered in charity. Upon occasion she served behind the counter, and by degrees the lending library which formed part of Mrs. Dermot's business fell under her, dlrectiOQ.

James Keeley had left very little in the way of furniture which his sister thought worth removal, but a number of old and stupid volumes she took away simply as "Rummies" to fill her Shelves.^ The child did not protest, though her yoiing sense of justice was outraged. Two years afterward Mrs. Dermot found an opportunity to buy a cargo of novels very cheap, and then she offered those unmarketable books at the rag-and-bone shop of the neighborhood. Fortunately, the unlearned dealer was not anxious to close, and Amy heard the proposal in time.

To urge sentimental associations after the lapse of so many months would have been futile she simply represented that her father believed his volumes to be worth money, and obtained permission, after much trouble, to put some of them among the toys and sweets in the window. Mrs. Dermot submitted impatiently, and day by day, as no purchaser came forward, she declared with growing vehemence that they should be sold for waste paper. Kind-hearted in her fashion, however, and just a little 'hopeful to the last that something might turn up, the good woman waited still, vowing every night that the rubbish should DO cleared away but every morning action was postponed. So it chanced that the opportunity came at length, and the man of destiny appeared.

He was hot a romantic personage at all. For some days Amy had noticed a shabby veteran who lingered at the window. Presently he entered to ask the price of a duodecimo: in a tumult of hope and fear she named half a crown. "Ridiculous!" exclaimed the veteran, and marched out Amy did not dure to tell this incident She bitterly reproached herself for fixing the price so high, but when, two days afterward, the stranger returned, she was shrewd enough to draw a conclusion. "Well, my dear, have you. thought it over?"

Yes, sir. I made a mistake. That little volume is five shillings." The old gentleman showed a frank amusement He sat down laughing. "Now tell the truth, my child. I hope you always tell the truth?" "I hope so, sir."

What is the real price you are told to ask for that book?" "I am not told to ask any price at alL I guess." "Oh, sharp little girll How did your mother get them?" "My mother is dead, sir, and they belonged to my father, and Mrs. Dermot is going to sell them for waste paper—with his name in them, too—to be torn up." "Well, well, ckild, they sha'n't be torn up."

At this moment Mrs. Dermot appeared. "I am trying to strike a bargain for these old books, ma'am. What do yon ask?" trrgi "A pound apiece, aunt?' Amy cried. "A pound apiece! You mast excuse this little girU sir, please. .She's not clever," Mrs. Dermot was ©bsmiug his expression aud did not know what-. to make of it. "Not a pound apiece^* she continued, doubtfully "I'd say—rd say two-poucds-ten for the lot" "Here it is. ma'am," the old gentleman replied with a merry look at. Amy. "Yon needn't give me a receipt Twenty-four volumes—I know them all. I'll send my servant immediately to carry them away. Now, I don't agree with yon that this young lady is not clever, and I back my opinion by making her a present of two-pounds-tcn for her share of her father's property—for herself, ma'am, you understand. Good-bye, little girll I shallcome to see yoa occasionally*"

The servant who arrived in a cab, haughtily informed Mrs. Dermot that his

TEREEJHATJTE SATURDAY WANING

master was very rich, a widower, with one child, and a great scholar. Nearly every day for some weeks he visited the shop,, buying all sorts of rubbish and chatting with Amy. Then he vanished for two years but on his return the visits recommenced. and Mrs. Dermot began to think there was some -purpose in them. Amy had greater reason to suspect the same thing.

At length it was declared. Mr. Thomas announced his name and asked a private interview with the aunt "I have a daughter, ma'am," life'* began, "about the age of Miss Amy. She is not very bright, bnt very gentle and loving, and she is heiress to a great fortune. Various circumstances make it awkward for me to provide her with the amusements and companionship which are still more necessary because, as I have said, my Loui^has not the resources in herself which other children enjoy. Now it Ij^s occurred to me that if you would permit your little niece to bear my child company it might be advantageous to everybody concerned. Let us try it for a month, she spending the day at my house and returning here to sleep. I should add that the girls will be treated quite alike, .share the same lessons and wear the same dress, if you do "not object."

A pang of maternal envy shot through Mrs. Dermot's bosom. Why was "not this chance offered to one of her own many daughters? But the unworthy feeling did not last. The same afternoon she paid a visit to Mr.

JL'homas, saw his pretty child,

formed a high opinion of the housekeeper, and came to terms. At the end of the month's trial a definite engagement was concluded, and Amy went to live, for a time unfixed, in the big beautiful house on Clapham Common.

Her young mistress—though there was no hint of such relationship between them —proved to be emphatically a "sweet girl," lovely of face, pure and affectionate, but weak of brain. The mischief did not go beyond weakness. 1?/*

With friends Louisa showed' a spirit, simple always and easily dashed, but almost merry toward strangers in all likelihood she would never be otherwise than submissive and distrustful of herself to a degree which might well cause a parent anxiety. Mtfel ^1,

Mr. Thomas had married the slster bf Sir Philip Staymer, and with certain branches of that family he kept up a close acquaintance. Amy did not learn this fact, as it chanced, until the arrangement was completed. She resolutely proposed to break it off, giving her reasons. "Bless me!" said Mr. Thomas "are you the daughter of that poor fellow? I remember him. Well, well, it's a hard case that Fred Staymer should have half a million, and you—but we can get over the difficulty, my dear, by calling you Miss Dermot henceforward. I'll manage it."

So Amy changed her name before any of the hostile family had seen her In process of time she met several, but Sir Philip did not call, and his son omy, once. He observed the companion with interest but if any vague recollections rose in his,mind he could not trace them. A fine young soldier he was, as Amy could not but admit. His efforts to divert Louisa failed disastrously, good-natured and amusing as they were, for such quick life and high spirit simply abashed the shy and timid girl. Seeing this, Fred gave her up carelessly, and turned to Miss Dermot, who was not more cordial. Dismissing both the little fools from his mind, he called no more.,

So years passed until either girl reached her eighteenth birthday, with no recollection of a bitter word or thought betwixt them. Then Mr. Thomas died suddenly.

Saving a few legacies he bequeathed all his fortune to Louisa, who wAs placed under the guardianship of Mr. Anthony Staymer, one of his brothers-in-law. Upon Amy Mr. Thomas settled an annuity of £100 a year and made a bequest, ot £3,000, but these legacies were conditional on her remaining with Louisa until the marriage of the latter. In due time the girls withdrew to Mr. Anthony Staymer's fine dwelling.

It was thought by persons interested that Fred could not ruin himself, though he tried his best, since gambling was no passion with him and they backed their opinion by lending him money at an exorbi taht rate. But circumstances unforeseen upset the calculation.

Both Sir Philip's brothers had withdrawn from theflrm, but he still remained at its head in association -with three nephews." Creeping age, however, warned him to retire. The partners objected and prayed in vain Sir Philip went to Shuttleton and commenced a thorough overhauling of affairs. Three days afterward his nephews fled. ggSMfij

Things did not prove quite so bad as they would have been, doubtless had the inquiry been delayed. The great firm was not insolvent, but a very large sacrifice would be necessary—how much was not ascertained when Sir Philip died of sham® and self-reproach.. Fred left the service and bent his untrained intelligence to his affairs. In process of time it was discovered that the whole snm left by Sir Philip in personal property would not suffice to meet the liabilities of the firm and his son's private debts.

Anthony Staymer advanced what was needful on mortgage of the estate, but it was clear that Fred could not keep tip the house on what remained. He wished to sell, to rejoin the army, and make a position for himself.

But his uncle had other views what they were needs no telling. Fred came to Thetford House for a visit presently.

Louisa was now a beautiful girl, bnt a look of trouble and anxiety in presence of strangers marred the expression of her perfect face. Though contact with Amy's high spirit had done much to give her an appearance of ease in society, the instinct of self-distrust and obedience remained at least as strong as ever.

Upon these characteristics Anthony relied. if, as was very improbable, she should not fall in love with her brilliant cousin.

Amy also was beautiful, though in quite another style, clear-eyed and resolute, eager, impulsive. I tear that she heard of the Staymer misfortunes in still delight, regarding them as vengeance for the conduct of Sir Philip toward her father. If she forgave the Ad man now that he was dead her resentment did not perish with him, for was not Frederick still rich, as she understood, while James Keeley, who made that fortune, had almost starved?

Staymer Hall was advertised "To Let," and the young man made his home for a while at Thetford. These shocks had sobered him a little. Amy found herself obliged to confess that he was not the loud, empty-headed rake she had been pleased to fancy, but doubtless be would prove to be just as objectionable in some other way. A few days after his arriral, how

ever, a very small incident .disconcerted her.,^1^^ MlSS The three were riding through a lane, in Which low posts and rails had been set at intervals beside the path, for some object long forgotten The flow of talk was dull and labored. To make & small diversion Amy leaped each barrier and challenged her companions to follow. Louisa rode gracefully, but with no courage, and when she prepared to obey, as usual, her distress was evident. Fred dissuaded her so gravely, with such, an anxious demonstration of the peril, that Amy conceived very scornful ideas of his nerve and horsemanship. .: Vv

A mile or two beyond they met Mrs. Anthony driving horned Louisa complained of fatigue, dismounted, and took a seat beside her aunt. "Now, Miss Dermot," Fred exclaimed, cheerily, as the others drove on. "are you game for an old-fashioned steeplechase? But let us wait till poor little Loo can't see."

They returned across country, flying, and Amy found herself quite out—not in the matter of his riding alone.

She fought hard against a growing confriction that Fred was a chivalrous and gallant fellow. Toward her he showed just the mingling of respect and interest aud familiarity which became their respective positions, but with Louisa he made no progress, and Amy was glad to see it. She suspected the projects in view.

Fred perceived in no long time that the more agreeable he made himself the more confused and troubled his cousin grew though gentle and attentive to her he fell into a habit of talking-with the companion.

It was not easy to keep alive a feeling of distrust and hostility as she came to know him better, but Amy struggled, recalling her grievances hour by hour. He relieved her on a sudden, going with some friends on a yachting voyage.

In his absence a cousin of the other branch took lodgings in the neighborhood, which was convenient for his business in town. The Staymers hardly recognized him, for Mark Thomas was a very unobtrusive young fellow socially and personally, cool, silent and thoughtful. They allowed him to go.to and fro as much as he pleased, to escort the girls from church on Sunday, and to call of an evening. Amy had often met him, but his time of greatest intimacy at Clapham had reached an end just at the moment when her own began. Mark went to study the language and commercial affairs at I^eipsic before establishing himself in a modest way at home. This cousin was the only male be-» ing with whom Louisa could be comfortable. His ways did not daunt her, and his cool self-possession gave a sense of trust.

But-Amy had no suspicion how far this soft and timid liking went until Fred's return was announced.

After breakfast on the day which fixed that event, Mrs. Authony took Louisa to her room, whence the child emerged trembling and pale and tearful. "Oh, Amy!" she cried, taking refuge in her friend's arms, "I am to marry Fred! Oh, isn't it dreadful? Oh, I don't know whatever I shall do!" And so on, helpless in her misery. "If it's dreadful, darling, you sha'n't be Allowed to do it, that's all. What did your aunt say?" "Oh! she said my mourning was over, and Fred's would be in a short time. And he was coming back on purpose to marry me, and he loves me very much—and—she talked like that! Oh! I'm so wretched!" "Poor little Louie! Well, did you tell her you wouldn't?" "Amy!—Then aunt said it was my duty, because Fred is ruined, and I can set the family up again with my mouey. And she ddesn't mean to stand any nonsense, because itjs for.my good, an^ I must! Oh, oh!" "Your manner' betrayed you, darling but it doesn't signify, It's not your duty, and if you don't wish you shall not raarry Fred. So that's all about it. Let me think." The girl waited patiently, sobbing in her arms. "Can we trust Mr. Thomas?" "Oh, yes but— 'But what *'I would rather not speak to him, If you don't mind.", "Of course not. I will speak* if necessary." "But, dear Amy, please, if it doesn't matter, I would rather—" "Show me your face. You won't? Oh, very well. Then I draw my own conclusions." "Oh, there aren't any conclusions to draw!" But Louisa would not emerge from the shelter she had found, crying, with another burst of tears. "It's no use! I must marry Fred if aunt tells me!" "There! Take comfort little one. I'll see about it.

She requested an interview with Mrs. Anthony, and told her that the match was distasteful. That haughty dame resented the companion's status—immovable until Louisa's marriage—and herself personally. She replied: "We looked for this, Miss Dermot, and my husband thinks you have every call to protest That is the natural view for a gentleman to take, bnt ladies expect more delicacy from one of their own sex." "I don't understand, madam.'1 "Of course. Well, Miss Dermot, I advise you to make your arrangements, for my niece will certainly be married shortly."

Then

Amy caught

the

significance of

her remarks, and hotly replied: "Perhaps she will, madH-n, and for my interest in the matter I hope

parted

will be very shortly

indeed." Mrs. Anthony did not comprehend now, but she could get no explanation. They

in hostility avowed. After reflecting and consulting with her husband, the lady made up her mind that Misfe Dermot had a wicked scheme for wedding the heiress to some low fellow, probably a connection of her own. Thereupon she kept strict watch over the letters, forbade her servaats to admit any visitor to Miss Dermot, and put a stop to outdoor exercise onLouisa's part Thus absorbed in one idea, she paid no attention to Mark Thomas.
