The lawyer and his companion looked at the flushed face and shining eyes., “If you think there is any doubt, however slight, tell me. Loave me here to my old life, to its monotony, its dreary gloom; I can bear it now, I could never return to it, onco I left it.” “There is none,” returned the lawyer, gravely. “I did not wait upon you until everthing was perfectly clear; there cannot be the faintest dispute as to - Your title. The probability is that, if N the FEarl of Charnleigh had made a will, he would have left eve‘?\ing to Captain Paul Flemyng, wio, in the : %lenealogical table, stands next to you. e is the only member of the family, I believe, that the Earl ever saw or noticed. I romember once he mentioned vour father, and asked me if he had left any children. I answered, ‘Yes—cne daughter.” ‘lt puzzles me,’ hesaid, ‘why the e are so many women in the world: could do better with just half the number.’”? I Despite Leonie's emotion and anxiety ~ a faint smile rippled over her lips. \ = “Did he know my father:” she asked. ! 4 " *No, only by repute, as being a brave | &gmgo&cer The truth was, he liked ~no one; if such a thing could be. T - should say he was a hater of his kind. ~ swaAnd this captain—what name did . you say?®” - : “Captain Paul Flemyng,’ re eated = the lawyer, and she half whispered the name, Did any warning come to her then of the tragedy that was to shadow her after lite—the weight that was to make _ the coronet a burden? | “Paul Flemyng—and is he disappointed?” she asked. “I cannot tell. He may have thought the chances were greatly in his favor; but he is too true a gentleman and too brave a man to envy the happiness that has fallen to a lady’s lot.” - “I hope he is not disappointed,” she said; “{)leased as I cannct help feeling, I should not like to purchase my happiness by another’s pain.” “Even should Captain Flemyng feel {min he will not show it,” observed the awyer, “Do you say Ishall have a great deal of money? He eould have some of it. I am not obliged to keep it all myself.” Mr, Clements smiled at the simple words—perhaps another idea suggested itself to him. - “I do not think that will be nceded,” ho remarked. “Captain Flemyng has some property besides the income derived from his profession. Ho i 3 at present with his regiment at Malta.” “What relation is Captain Flemyng ~ tome?” she asked, locking up at him : with the questioning glance of a child. o “I should say about fourth cousin, if ~ such relationship exists at all.

You camnnot live | alone. Perhaps Miss Templeton would | .‘ be the bost person to consult in the | | emergency.” Mr. Clements here rose from his seat and bowed with an air of deference he had not shown before. “Permit me,” he said, “now that my legal business is explained, to be the first to offer my congratulations to the = Countess of Charnleigh. I pray heaven to bless ycur ladyship in your new lile, and to send yov every blessing and prosperity and every earthly happiness.”” “I thank vou,” she said gantly, ' Then Mr. Dunscombe stood up and offered his congratulations. “If you will allow me,” said the law- -~ yer, "l will wait upon you, Lady Charn- . leign, te-morrow.

Ah, the power of this wonderful gold!” The maid-servant was annoyed to see that she had produced no effect. “I shall certainly tell Miss Templeton the minute she returns why my work is not done,” she continued; but to her surprise the young girl merely left the room, with the same strance smile on her face. She wanted to be alone, she must be alone to think over this wondrous | event. She sat in the dull, gloomy play- : ground until the clock struck tive: no cne came to tell her that tea was wait- | ing; no one seemed tocare whether she w had anything or not. As she re-en-|

tered the hcuse, Susan met her and | said, not very civilly: 54 ; “Your tea has ﬂeen waiting, Miss Ra{n,:ar, in the school-room for an hour ast. ; ' She laughed aloud as she thought how different it would be soon, and tgen time passed in another dream until Miss 'Fem leton returned. at 7 tge formidable mistress of 1 | King’s Court was to return. Leonie - | had been accustomed to ec¢ount the hours with a certain kind of dread; .| now she sat so completely entranced in | y | her glorious dream that she did not J | even hear the noise of the much-an- | ticipated arrival. It was a custom of | | Miss Templeton’s to kcep the governess gupil in her place, as she expressed it, centinually finding fault with her. Vghen she returned ﬁom her holidays, it required so»me ingenuity to make out ' alist of complaints against the ycung girl, but she generally succeeded. On { ‘this occasion sh> did not linger long . over tho dainty tea prepared for her. ! Susan. fired with indignation at Miss Rayner’s insensibility, was only too ( pleased to tell how the young governess had had visitors in the dmwing-, room, and had spent over two hours | with them. Miss Templeton went at , once to the school-room, where she found the young lady seated befera her ' cold, untastod toa. ! A frosty greeting passed between them, and then Miss Tomplaton seated | hervselt in state, . “T am sorry to hear, Mis 3 Rayner,” | she began, “that your A , 5 - F Yy so ofroia"glp%\ct as 1 could have wished, May I| ask who were the gentlemen you mx-{ tortained for more than two hours to- | day?” { There was a faint rvipple of a smilo | on the beautiful lips, which angored Miss Templeton very much. L “Two hours,” continued th: schoolmistress, “is a long time for any lady | to spend in the socixy of gentlomen, above all f strangers, as 1 +hould imagine these to have been.” “Then 1 must demand an explanatim of your conduct, Miss Rayner, King's Court is both known and hozored for the exomplary conduct «f its conduetor. If you have devigted in the slighte:t degree from established ruies, we must part.” No fear shaded thoe bricht eye: that looked lavghingly into the stony face, “The gentlemen introduced themcelves, Miss Templeton. lam guit: innceent of havir g known of their lisit beforehand.” : “Will you tell me who they were?” repeated the angry lady. : “Mrv. Ciements, a lawyer of Lincoln's | Inn, and Mr. Dunscombe, the manager | or steward of the Crown lLeighton estates.” i “May I be permitted to inquire what they wanted with you, Miss Rayner?” said Miss Tempieton, somewhat wonderingly. “They came on business that astoniShed me, Miss Templeton, as it will! you.

She eould but repeat the words in a helpless fashion. “Countess of Charnleigh! Explain to me-—my mind is not clear.” And Leonie, half indigpant, half amused, gave the lady a complete resume of the history she had heard herself. When it was ended Miss Templeton rose frcm her chair and embraced her, “My dearest child—my favorite puy il —1 am so heartily glad, so pleased, so delighted —1 am overwhelmed.” The stony face and dull, lustorless eyes wore & look of excitement that completely changed Miss Tompleton, “For your own sake lam so pleased. Countess of Charnleigh! The title is a proud one—you will do it justiea. I always thought there was something distingue, something aristoeratic about you.” “Did you®"” asked the young girl, wonderingly. “I fanecied you were never very pleased with my manner.” Miss Templeton positively blushed a phenomenon that had not occurred for years. “Those who have the charge of | . youth must be severe,” she said, “or, | ;,he. youthful character never wou'd be | | oad My deag shid, vhat mivics TWI Tel iy : right and mistress of a vast fortune.

The express ion of oratified revenge on her face did not escape the notice of cither lady. She looked with an air of triumph at Leonie, *Susan,” said Miss Templeton, sharply, “I desire that VOl do not ANNOYy Miss Rayner again. If she wishes to have the drawing-loom for her visitors, remember it is always at her service.” . Susan left the rocm full of rage and - astonizhment, contemptuously wonder- . ing to herself what was L:“,\in,:: to hap- | pen that Miss Templeton should be so civil to a governess. That night Leoni®was Miss Temple- | . ton’s most honored guest. She was al- | ' lowed to go out on the lawn and sit | | under the shade of a great dwu—.ingl

Rapid Growth of Trees, , It has often been said, that as soon a8 you caa excite a personal interest gin the planting of trees, the forestry question will settle jtself. One of the mistakes too frequently made is, ‘hOWGVOI‘. the encouragement of the 'idea that it takes centuries to get Lrees large enough for timber pur. ‘boses. If properly planted and prop. erly cared for, as they ought to be in a well ordered forest, plantation, growth is extremely rapid, and good timber trees could be obtained within 4 quarter of a century. Near where this paragraph is written, there is a specimen of silver maple, Acer dasycarpum, not fifteen years since it was a seed, which is four feet six inches in circumference; and an American Elm, about the same age, which is five feet in circumference. Facts like these could be easily multiplied, showing how easy it is to get profitable forests in a very short time ~when the great public necessity and consequent profit becomes a matter of emg’ﬂamrlng. ~—Meehan's Monthiy. : i U Hatd In Nagiand, Tel l Land has been rapidly decreasing in value in England, due to uure‘strained competition to which the British farmer is subjected. It may be best thus for the mass of English people whe are engaged in commerce and manufacturing industries, but it has certainly been hard for the land hoiders. Recentlv a valuable farm of 500 acres in Colchester was sold for S3O per acre. Sixteen years ago the same land sold at $225 per acre, or more than four times as much as now. The failure of English crops because of the drought that has prevailed this year will doubtless throw many more farms on the market. The present summer a lot of 178 acres, on which SI,OOO had been spent for draining, sold for SB,OOO. Another farm of 209 acres with buildings was sold for 82,750, and this tarm has until very recently commanded $125 as annual rent. At this rate farming land 1n Enuland will soon becoma as cheap as it is 1n the older States of this country.
